Betsuin Air-Stream WAN services can now be found at 10.122.128.66
Enjoy!

The unit is on the roof and pinging Air-Stream-Skye:

[admin@433AH] > ping 10.122.128.1

At last upgrading my node to an RB422AH with an R52Hn radio - not on the roof yet but at least in it's box.

Playing around with nagios configuration again and have mapped the greatest number of pingable IPs on Air-Stream to date:

route -n | awk '{print($1" " $3)}' | awk '!a[$0]++' | awk '{print("ipcalc "$1"/"$2)}' | sh | awk '{if ($1 == "Network:") print($2)}' | awk '{print("nmap -sP -n "$0)}' | sh | awk 'BEGIN {a=0} {if ($6 == "up.") a++} END {print(a)}'

a = 439

I can successfully tcptraceroute to 339 via scripts - have yet to implement "ping -R" which seems to work when tcptraceroute/traceroute fails. Of course "ping -R" won't reach right across the Air-Stream network due to limited hop buffering... hmm

Anyways for now nagios is mapping 339 Air-Stream IPs!

Hit betsuin.skye.wan/nagios/ if you are on Air-Stream
guest/guest

The BeigeG3 is starting to feel the strain and has fallen over in the heat - ouch!
I'll try reseating all components, the box has been sitting there a while now however hot days may well see Air-Stream-betsuin down.

Guess the new year might see me looking for a new box - maybe time to grab a new Mac and stick the G4 tower at the top of the stairs, it's got enough PCI slots and has OpenFirmware2 which makes dealing with Debian simpler.

Have upped my War§ow server to the latest and greatest 0.5 version!

However the compile failed on the AngelScript module so I simply disabled it in the make file - this is on my PPC Air-Stream router/server. Seems to be working fine though I have yet to fully tweak the config file(s) - not all maps work with bots (I have 2 added) as on a PPC platform the prebuilt navigation files are broken and must be recreated on a PPC system - big-endian vrs little-endian biz I presume.

Visit War§ow here http://www.warsow.net/
or hit my ftp ftp://betsuin.skye.wan/ if you want to download the game.

Enjoy!

Cozy in Japan with my EeePC, the apartment we are renting comes with an RJ45 jack in the wall that appears to be an optical fibre connection to the internet thru http://www.alpha-net.ne.jp/ (Japanese only) --- very nice!

Downloads aren't startling however initial 5% of an ubuntu iso from http://www.ftp.ne.jp/Linux/packages/ubuntu/releases-cd/ came down at 2~3MB/sec! after that it dropped down to around 700~800KB/sec which is what I get off of the Adam servers.
