Problem is solved, cricket graphs shows statistics this time.. It was my error. I should run ./compile in cricket dir as navcron-user, not as a root. Running su - navcron was not enough, but su - navcron -s /bin/bash solved it :) Thanx all 4 help!

I just managed to get an installation of NAV up and running. For test purposes I inserted some witches and routers into the database. When clicking "statistics" on the toolbox page, I notice there are not all device displayed: There is on Cisco 7507 in the DB which is displayed unter router-interfaces but not under router. Then there are two 2610, which also do not appear under router. One of them appears under router-interfaces, the other does not appear at all. Furthermore I am testing two switches which appear fine under switch-interfaces but not under switches. What am I doing wrong?

In our initial test setup I had to replace a switch and the corresponding router interface. We had a Cisco 2912XL connected to a Fastethernet interface on a 7507 router. This morning the 2912 was replaced by a 3524 and the router interface now is a Gigabit interface. I edited the switch via "edit database". It was recognized as a 3524XL. So far so good. I would expect that the corresponding websites (like Device browser, statistics etc) get updated. But the device browser still shows the 12 Ports of the 2912 which was removed, though the type if the device reports " cisco, cat3524XL, Catalyst 3524 XL switch". How do we get the new device registered? Thanks, Christian

On the other hand, I'm guessing that on a Debian installation you can use "invoke-rc.d nav" to call the nav init script. When you say there are no statistics, what do you mean exactly? Are there empty graphs on your Cricket pages, or are there no links to any graphs at all? > This is what I get: > > # python -c 'import profile' > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<string>", line 1, in ? > ImportError: No module named profile Ok, I did a little checking, and it seems Debian packages the Python Profiler as a separate package, under the non-free section (I don't know why, but I assume it's because the profile module is released under some other license than the rest of the Python library..?) Assuming you have the non-free section as part of your sources in /etc/apt/sources.list, try running "apt-get install python-profiler" and see whether NAV works after that. Cc: to Morten Werner, who is the NAV Debian package maintainer. On a side note: I don't know why the profile module is used in the production release, but one of the original authors of the IP Device Center has promised to look into it. > This is solved, but only one router is drawn and link to another > unknown device...

Group access in NAV

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 17/10/2005 15:22, Reier Johan R?dland uttered: > web_access for > ^/(report|status|emotd|alertprofiles|machinetracker|browse|preferences|cricket)/? Don't forget: web_access for ^/(vlanPlot|navAdmin)/? > When we put a user in that group he can also change the Traffic Map > and save the new layout! Bug?? Yep. I just checked this with Kristian, and it seems to be an unfortunate oversight on our part. The Traffic Map assumes that any authenticated user is an adminstrator :( > Are there some documentation on how to build new groups with > different priveleges? What do the different Regular expressions do? It might not be very well documented, but it should be straightforward. The /web_access/ privilege is used to grant access to resources on the web server, by matching the URL requested by the browser against the regular expression in the privilege target. If the URL requested by the browser matches any of the regular expressions in the web_access privileges of the user's groups, access is granted. If not, access is denied, and the user is redirected to the NAV login page. So web_access for ^/(report|status|emotd|alertprofiles|machinetracker|browse|preferences|cricket)/? grants access to any URL beginning with a slash, followed by any of the pipe separated words, then possibly followed by another slash (I'm assuming you know your regexp here). > What are the use of "Member of the following organizations"? I don't think this is actually used by any part of NAV right now, but the idea is to use this in the future as an aid to further limit what information users have access to. The organizational tree you can select from is the one that has been entered in editdb, and the same one which is referred to by IP devices registered in the NAV database. Each IP device can belong to a given organizational unit, and so can network prefixes. So, what we hope to have ready in NAV 3.1 is a system where the administrator(s) can configure privileges which allow users to use the machine tracker to track IP addresses only within the prefixes belonging to their own organizational units, or view detailed information only about IP devices owned by their own organizational units. I also see a need to maybe map these organizational units to organizational units in an LDAP tree, so that NAV will automatically know which organizational units LDAP-authenticated users belong to. - -- Morten Vold NTNU ITEA Integrasjonsgruppen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDVKzgXxIl0kpcOkQRAsgbAKCAayEN5U1GzadG88E9jsc8Z/96XwCeNQbr 72HoGUIDZAXeYir0aHagZLA= =bDwB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >From morten.vold at ntnu.no Tue Oct 18 11:09:23 2005 From: morten.vold at ntnu.no (Morten Vold) Date: Tue Oct 18 10:09:31 2005 Subject: [Nav-users] Group access in NAV In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.63-L.0510171428050.21307(a)vekter.uio.no> References: <Pine.LNX.4.63-L.0510171428050.21307(a)vekter.uio.no> Message-ID: <4354ADB3.5080606(a)ntnu.no> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 17/10/2005 15:22, Reier Johan R?dland uttered: > Are there some documentation on how to build new groups with different > priveleges?
