Changelog
Sat Feb 6 11:08:04 EST 2010: Nagios Meta Check Script 2
In part 1 of the check script the generic functions not related directly to the checks themselves was outlined. In this text several checks are added - these are the main checks and not compulsory ones.
Sat Jan 30 16:05:16 EST 2010: nettest 2.4
A new stable version of nettest has been released. In addition to the changes from the testing version this version was tested in client and server mode on the following systems, note that it works well across bridged virtual machines as well:
- NetBSD client to NetBSD Server
- NetBSD client to FreeBSD Server
- FreeBSD client to FreeBSD Server
- FreeBSD client to NetBSD Server
- Debian Linux client to both NetBSD and FreeBSD Server
- NetBSD and FreeBSD client to Debian Linux Server
*pant*pant*pant* - I think that about covers it for now. Would be interested in any other ports that might be available out there which I don't currently have access to. Following is the TODO list:
fix
compile errors on BSD- ipv6 support (???)
- porting
- packages (???)
Fri Jan 15 19:34:47 EST 2010: netreconn 1.75
A new version of netreconn is available; this version is for testing
a new feature and sorta
bugfix. Following are pertinent changes:
- Fixed a segv when host-part is used
- Added the nlist wrapper
- Trimmed output for pingonly scans
Fri Jan 15 18:24:31 EST 2010: nettest 2.3
Just got done fixing up some compiler warnings for nettest, an old but still useful network testing tool written originally by Cray Research, then owned by SGI and now maintained by yours truly. The errors had to do with sizing some types of integers; that said if you are one of the two or three people who use nettest note that this is a test version. I have informally adopted the old Linux kernel method of using odd numbered minor revisions to annotate a testing or unstable version while even numbered ones are supposed to be stable. Following are the changes in this version:
- Put FreeBSD patches into mainstream
- Fixed compiler warnings
Sun Jan 10 16:24:04 EST 2010: Port Scan in C Part 5
In the previous parts of this series writing a simple program to see if a port is available was covered, in this the final text the last three points from the previous text are discussed: migrate the pre-check into its own module entirely, add in more descriptive error handling locally and for the connection errors and lastly any last thoughts about the program itself and where it could go. it is worth noting that this example is very primitive but can easily be expanded upon.
Thu Dec 24 21:11:23 EST 2009: NetReconn 1.74, GIT and TextFeeds
Stable version of netreconn and git
Netreconn version 1.74 is now available, this is a stable release from the previous version with no remarkable improvements. Also switched from CVS to git - the git directories can be found here. Projects are being converted one by one; unfortunately since the CVS server is remote I do not yet have a way to import the history files.
Textfeeds
Playing around with setting up an online directory of rss fed inputs; right now this is very very primitive looking but it may eventually become integrated with the site, spun off somewhere else altogether or if it is unused simply dumped. Note the location may change as well - not exactly sure how it is going to pan out in the long run. In any case have a look.
