Installation and Upgrades / Zentyal NUT Hacks

« on: November 14, 2013, 12:14:27 pm »

Hi All,
 I recently needed to add driver parameters to a config in nut,
Originally I altered  the ups.conf.mas file and added my productid/vendorid parameters there but this breaks if you have more than once UPS on the system or change the UPS.
Solution? Add my parameters as a new UPS to the Zentyal nut
The UPS is a product from meissner.co.za but there is no website or support yet. It a 3KVA unit and uses the USB ven/pid of 06da/0005 with subdriver phoenix.

So look for driver.list located in /usr/share/nut/

Code: [Select]

$sudo nano /usr/share/nut/driver.list
find a simlar device, in my case i knew i need to use blazer_usb so i added the following line among the Eaton range
 

Code: [Select]

"Eaton" "ups" "5" "Darkspr1te Special Driver" "" "blazer_usb vendorid=06da subdriver=phoenix productid=0005"
Save and thats it, you can now select your specific config from the pick list

the format of driver.list is as follows

Code: [Select]

# Format:
# =======
# <manufacturer> <device type> <support level> <model name> <model extra> <driver [parameters]>
#
# Details:
# ========
# - device type:
#   "ups" for Uninterruptible Power Supply
#   "pdu" for Power Distributions Unit
#   "scd" for Solar Controlers Device
#
# - support level: a number from "1" to "5" (stars) meaning:
#   *       protocol based on reverse engineering
#   **      based on fragments of publicly available protocol
#   ***     based on publicly available protocol
#   ****    vendor provided protocol
#   *****   vendor provided protocol and hardware
#
# - driver [parameters]: mention the driver(s) (separated by "or" if there are
#   several possibilities. Any mandatory parameter(s) must be referenced, as
#   they will be parsed by configuration helper softwares.
#   For example, genericups entries must mention the "upstype=nn" format.
#
# Duplicate text in the last field will be cooked out during the conversion
# to HTML with ROWSPAN magic.  They must be an exact match for this to work.

The "Clear Zarafa users" only deletes the 3 users in demo mode, it does not allow you to go beyond the 3 user limit,a licence is required for that. This is in case you created a testing user and linked it to a outlook client and now want to link it to another client.

Installation and Upgrades / bi-direction openvpn problems

« on: May 09, 2013, 05:14:59 pm »

hi all
My problem is i am trying to connect dd-wrt router to openvpn on zentyal so that a client on the lan can access a ip device behind the dd-wrt box.

Server detail (zentyal 3.0)
 lan: 10.0.0.1
openvpn 192.168.160.1 gw 192.168.160.2 ptp

dd-wrt (DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/20/11) vpn - build 18024)
lan: 192.168.1.1
openvpn: 192.168.160.6 gw 192.168.160.5 ptp
(if nat on dd-wrt for open is disabled then clients cant ping any 10.0.0.x devices but dd-wrt box can)


On the server i can ping the openvpn server address and the dd-wrt vpn address (192.168.160.1 for server and 192.168.160.6)
so what i want is a client on the 10.0.0.x subnet to be able to ping the dd-wrt lan client on 192.168.1.x

I suspect it's some blocking on the dd-wrt box but i've disabled nat and spi firewall and still nothing.

Has anybody got this to work?

Hi All,
 This topic is where i am going to post a few ticks, tips and guides for the ssh/command line side of Zentyal/Linux/Ubuntu.
After running Clearos for the past 5 years and recently deploying zentyal servers in business enviroments i Thought i would document a few of the tools/tricks/tips i use to stay sane in this ever changing world of linux.

I do a lot of ssh work, due to our poor internet infrastructure and being old school dos baby i still prefer this approach.

Ok, onto the meat of it all.

ethX being the device you want to monitor, also note you can monitor your vpn links to, replace ethx with tun0 or tap0
