New nav-deps package
by werner＠debian.org 05 Feb '08

Hi, on request from Uninett I have created a dummy package, nav-deps. The intention with this package is to provide an empty package with the same dependencies as the nav-package. It also have the following symlinks for convenience: /etc/nav -> /usr/local/nav/etc /usr/sbin/nav -> /usr/local/nav/bin/nav /var/log/nav -> /usr/local/nav/log The package [1] is available if you have the following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/debian etch local Happy hacking! :) - Werner [1] http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/debian/pool/etch/n/nav-deps/ >From werner at debian.org Tue Feb 5 17:49:01 2008 From: werner at debian.org (Morten Werner Forsbring) Date: Tue Feb 5 17:04:05 2008 Subject: [Nav-users] New nav-deps package In-Reply-To: <87abmf3fu7.fsf(a)sid.forsbring.no> (Morten Werner Forsbring's message of "Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:36:16 +0100") References: <87abmf3fu7.fsf(a)sid.forsbring.no> Message-ID: <87myqf1h8i.fsf(a)sid.forsbring.no> Morten Werner Forsbring <werner(a)debian.org> writes: > on request from Uninett I have created a dummy package, nav-deps.

TrafficMap crashes webbrowsers

My first guess would be that it fails at getting the data from vPserver and dies a horrible death, leaving the applet just running. It's a known bug that it doesnt die the right way. One trick to indentify the problem is to enable the java console (you can do this from the java-plugin control panel. You can find this in System -> Preferences on Ubuntu-systems at least. I guess other platforms have similar tools.) You should find some more useful debuginfo there. - Klette -- Mvh Kristian Klette ?Programs for sale: Fast, Reliable, Cheap: choose two.? >From prieheck at iwu.edu Wed Jan 9 13:29:22 2008 From: prieheck at iwu.edu (Pat Riehecky) Date: Thu Jan 10 13:24:17 2008 Subject: [Nav-users] TrafficMap crashes webbrowsers In-Reply-To: <20080109171752.GB28797(a)samfundet.no> References: <1198259523.6134.90.camel(a)thales.iwu.edu> <20080109171752.GB28797(a)samfundet.no> Message-ID: <1199906962.6096.72.camel@thales> :) thanks, works now !!!

Hi Keith, Are you using PHP5? The AlertProfiles tool sometimes outputs a few strange warnings/error messages under PHP5, but these do not seem to be detrimental to AlertProfiles' functioning. Unfortunately, there are no PHP-savvy/friendly developers currently working on NAV, so we've yet to find the time to figure out how to quench these messages. What were you doing in the interface when these errors occurred? -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT

[Nav-users] python error on unknown snmp oid breaking IP Info Center

When I add a device with an SNMP id that NAV doesn't recognize it prompts me to add it. After that point the IP Info tool will only provide the following.

When the offending host has the snmp data removed IP Info still fails to work. If the host is removed and re-added all goes back to normal. NAV 3.3.1 from the current debian package Help! Pat

problem with installing nav
by yonat2＠post.tau.ac.il 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hello, I'm working on linux Debian and i have little permissions. I'm trying to install NAV using your guide of "getting started". When I try to run "nav start" I get that the following services are down: eventengine getDeviceData snmptrapd. I recieve the following error msg: "Failed: eventengine getDeviceData snmptrapd Errors: tmp (Command failed: 32256)" When trying to run "etc/init.d/eventengine start" I recieve the following error msg: " createConnection ClassNotFoundExecption error: org.postgresql.Driver Error, could not connect to database! Failed". When trying to run "etc/init.d/snmptrapd start" I recieve the following error msg: "psycopg.ProgrammingError: ERROR: relation "subsystem" does not exist INSERT INTO subsystem (SELECT 'snmptrapd', '' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM subsystem WHERE name = 'snmptrapd')) Failed". What should I do? Thank you.

That object contains both source and agent, where source is the ip-source address and agent is the agent-address.

snmptrapd does not follow specifications
by Ingeborg.Hellemo＠cc.uit.no 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

When snmptrapd receives a snmptrap it is _not_ supposed to use the IP-source address of the packet as the sender of the trap, but look inside the snmp-packet (agent-addr in SNMPv1) to see who the trap really comes from. There are several RFCs and papers about this (and we have mentioned it earlier). Please? --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg ?strem Hellemo -- ingeborg(a)cc.uit.no (Univ. of Troms?, Norway)

Come to think of it, I believe the code for IPv6 is still in my branch and needs to be merged with trunk. Meaning that before anyone do so, you either have to wait for someone to do it, or do it yourself. Only problem is I believe the note which said when the last merge was done is gone. Hurray for SVN.
