ndavies Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 We're using IdentD as part of our filtering/security setup on laptops and workstations...just turned it on to find the minibooks' internet is now screwed...downloaded a linux package for identd, but Xandros doesn't seem to have the Make command that the install needs.. anyone got any ideas how to get round this...i mean anything...but maybe not involving a hammer or a blow torch... Nick
Jona Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 not having make is a symptom of not having a compiler installed. You probably need to install gcc. How you go about doing that on an eeepc I'm not sure. Can you not find a .deb for IdentD? Jona
dhicks Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 downloaded a linux package for identd, but Xandros doesn't seem to have the Make command that the install needs. If you're missing Make you'll probably find you're missing a bunch of other bits, too - on Ubuntu these are combined in the package "build-essential". A Google search for something like "Xandros build essential" should hopefully turn up some useful information. -- David Hicks
ndavies Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 got build essential inc make and gcc. ran the ./configure, make and make install seems to have done stuff but not sure what. how to i install the .deb file?
ndavies Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 done it...kinda... added debian sources to sources.list installed build essential then followed this http://www.fukt.bth.se/~per/identd/README only problem is it doesn't run the identd on startup. you need to issue the command $ /usr/sbin/identd -d as sudo bash before it will work any ideas on how to automate this?

RabbieBurns Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 not sure if its the same but i use rc-update add identd default to add identd to the default runlevel so it starts automatically
ndavies Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 mmm don't seem to have rc-update...where could i get it from?
RabbieBurns Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 its probably not a valid command for that distro.. Ill have a look see if i can find the equivelant
RabbieBurns Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 it could be the update-rc.d you need to edit
ndavies Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 sorry i dont' follow can you explain what i need to put where .... (be nice now!!)
