**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 25 02:59:58 2005 Oct 25 11:37:27 Does anyone here have any experience with OpenSlug? :-) Oct 25 11:37:57 * koen runs it with satisfaction Oct 25 11:38:42 unslung is giving me some trouble... Will openslug be more "stable"/ "linux-like"? Oct 25 11:39:10 Will openslug still give you the web-interface? Oct 25 11:39:45 afaik there isn't a web interface Oct 25 11:40:06 but I haven't looked for it either Oct 25 11:40:39 there is no web interface Oct 25 11:40:46 Yeah, I have used it much either. Oct 25 11:41:10 What kinf of packages are "installed" with the firmware? Oct 25 11:41:48 there have been discussions on nslu2-linux mailing list about making an openslug web interface, but no big push at this time Oct 25 11:43:27 Is Openslug faster than the unslung? Oct 25 11:44:27 if you're looking for speed, firmwares alone do not make that much of a difference Oct 25 11:44:41 de-underclocking the slug would have more of an effect Oct 25 11:45:07 de-underclocking? Oct 25 11:46:22 the cpu of the slug is a 266MHz spec part Oct 25 11:46:43 linksys board design has the cpu clocked at 133MHz Oct 25 11:48:09 OK, I did the speed-up hardware trick. Where you remove a resistor to "overclock" the slug... Oct 25 11:49:01 k Oct 25 11:49:29 Now, will the file structure be the same as with the unslung? Oct 25 12:05:03 Unslung vs openslug? Pros cons? Oct 25 12:08:11 unslung = linksys plus, openslug = clean slate Oct 25 12:08:58 if you want to keep the linksys facilities, unslung is for you, if you want more of a linux computing device with only stuff you put on it, openslug Oct 25 12:09:43 Roger. Will there be any problems upgrading from unslung to openslug? Oct 25 12:10:19 it's not really an upgrade as it is more of a switch Oct 25 12:10:35 jepp, bad wording.... :-) Oct 25 12:10:45 you go from a linksys imposed file structure setup to a linux based one Oct 25 12:11:12 you need to have a bit more linux experience to be able to use openslug... Oct 25 12:11:47 Great! so I won't the strange mounting locations.... Oct 25 12:14:29 I've got some linux experience, running gentoo on my desktop.... I wonder if I should invent the time switching to openslug.... I'll have to start from scratch.... Oct 25 12:16:19 By the way, what do you guys prefer: openssh or dropbear? Oct 25 12:16:53 I think of dropbear as "ssh just to get by without having to have telnet" Oct 25 12:16:57 dropbear Oct 25 12:17:11 which means that it's smaller (maybe faster?) Oct 25 12:17:20 dropbear = ~70kB, openssh = ~ 2MB Oct 25 12:17:39 but openssh does port forwarding whereas dropbear does not Oct 25 12:18:06 ergh, wrong terminology, port tunnelling (not port forwarding) Oct 25 12:18:26 Does dropbear handle password-less log-on (ie gpg-key auth) Oct 25 12:18:41 it does Oct 25 12:18:48 at least dsa key auth Oct 25 12:18:55 OK Oct 25 12:22:15 I've allways been using ssh, but I've noticed that it can slow down my slug.... Oct 25 12:24:24 Thanks for your help! :-) Oct 25 12:25:29 that's why serial is so nice for nslu2s.... Oct 25 12:26:36 it sure is Oct 25 12:27:50 I have the serial connected to my SlugBuilder box (at home) where I can ssh into it and simply change to the screen session that has the uucp running to ProdSlug Oct 25 12:28:25 now if I could just figure out a way to punish those who continue to test the sshd for password authentication..... Oct 25 12:29:45 mailing abuse@ can do wonders :) Oct 25 12:31:30 that invention that slaps someone silly over the internet at a command is really what I want.... **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 25 12:55:50 2005 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Oct 26 02:59:58 2005
