[cobalt-users] [RaQ4i] /etc/rc.d/init.d/./killall - Rebooted - Now problems with SSH, Time and /sbin/ifconfig

["Kai" <go@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi hi.

Last night I was stupid enough to run /etc/rc.d/init.d/./killall.
Wow did I get a shock when I realised what I was seeing.
The RaQ's services were being shut down in front of my eyes.
The last thing I saw was IPv4 being shut down. And then nothing...

*sniff sniff.

Why did I run it? I thought it cleaned up all the "unended processes"
I interpreted this as all processes that SHOULD have ended but haven't. Boy
was I wrong.
To make it worse NTT Verio has aquired DavNet and nobody was manning the
datacentre.
Downtime was approximately 10 hours. From 9:58pm March 6 to 7:53am March 7.
After chasing people down for 2 hours I went to the bottle shop and grabbed
some wine to
calm my nerves. Drank a whole bottle and geeze do I feel like crap
thismorning.

Now. Problems:

1. Some IP's were missing from /sbin/ifconfig. While digging around in the
archives I came
accross the following post:
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2001-October/055287.html
They rekon you have to add it to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
to permanently bind the IP's.
However... Only SOME ip's were missing. Any ideas?

And while we are on this topic what is the correct way to add IP's?
Thismorning I simply typed:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

etc.

2. The time of the RaQ went spastic. Apparantly we are in the year 2004. I
don't use an NTP server. I should huh?¿

3. When we added our secure certificate all was good. We type:
http://www.wateverdomain.com and it
rewrites to https://www.wateverdomain.com:81/.cobalt/sysManage/index.htm

Well.. After the reboot, it wasn't so. This is what happens:

If we type: http://www.wateverdomain.com/admin with or without trailing
slash. The browser simply
sits and does nothing for a while. Then it goes to the standard "this page
cannot be displayed"


If we type https://www.wateverdomain.com/admin with or without the trailing
slash it does just as
the one above. Same error message.

However.. When we use https://www.wateverdomain.com:81/admin without the
trailing slash we get
a 404 error. When we USE the trailing slash we get the control panel. This
seems alright and everything
works except usually it will change the URL to
https://www.wateverdomain.com:81/.cobalt/sysManage/index.htm
in this case it just keeps the https://www.wateverdomain.com:81/admin/ URL.

Any ideas to get SSH Rewrite thingo working again? And ideas on the ifconfig
issue?

Kind Regards,

Kai Deecke.
