Title: Adding a local network spoiled my server.
Post by: dmajwool on January 26, 2004, 11:50:33 PM

version 6.0

During an offsite SSH putty session, I added a local network and when comitting the change, the server became unresponsive.  I lost comms with the server.

Now, at the local console, logged into the text mode server-manager, I can see the additional local network, but I am unable to delete it.  After a reboot, I still cannot communicate with the server from the remote site.

Can I hand edit any template file to clear what seems to have been an inappropriate set of ip numbers?

Many thanks

David

Title: Difficulty deleting a local network entry
Post by: dmajwool on January 27, 2004, 11:00:54 AM

Update:

I now have remote access restored, and I can get into the web-browser based server-manager. :-))

When I press the buttons to remove the local network I added, the server returns "Error occurred when removing network"

The network I attempted to delete is still shown in /etc/hosts.allow (which still has yesterday's date modified) but is no longer shown in the graphical server-manager.

Any thoughts to flush that network out of hosts.allow ?

Thanks

David

Title: CANNOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION
Post by: aussie on April 05, 2004, 05:14:44 AM

did you solve this?

I have a similar issue:
- I lost access to a remote sme6.0 (changing to private gateway).
Now I cannot,
- add remote access on its lan (get a # part way
through using console, and nothing is created in server-manager)

- change the private server to just server in the configure (falls back to #)

how do I make sme6.0 'rework' its internal configuration to hopefully let me get past this ?
