Re: great stuff

Depending on your connection type the Red Interface logs may provide that
information.  Either PPPoE or DHCP would leave evidence of the disconnect,
reconnect events.

Hi Geo

 

Re C, the latest version of ntpd included in IPCop 2.0 can handle
intermittent connections, so it may not be of use to you as an indicator of
ADSL service. On a command line, issue the command ntpq -np to see the
status of the servers you are connected to.

 

You might need to write your own fcron heartbeat test script to log your
up/downtime, unless someone has already done so?

Hi,
 well i finally got round to "modernising" my old IPCop box and thought i
would take a look at IPCop's 1.920 and upwards to the latest official patch
2.0.6

     It looks great and what a tremendous effort you have all put in!
  Seems to allow a whole slew of new fine tuning most of which at present is
not something i know a lot about, but hey who said old dogs cannot learn new
tricks.

A couple of questions:-
 It seems to work straight out the box so
A}    do I actually need to tweek it beyond the settings I used on 1.4.21 ?
B}  Is it yet ready for a working enviroment or is it still very much a work
in progress and only to be used as a test rig
C} If i want the NTP service (1.4.21 i ran hourly as an indicator if ADSL
service was interuptted)  to be visable in the logs do I need to write my
own
Chron job and could this be made to show up successfully in the IPCop logs
(as it does in 1.4.21) as it is a feature I miss (my adsl supplier can be
flakey and being able to send them screen shots of their "downed" service
seemed to get hem back on the ball quickly:-}

Thank you all for a great set of software do you allow PayPal donations to
help fund this project?
