Dear UDP Casters,
First let me say thank you for making this program. It has enabled me
to completely get rid of Symantec Ghost and it's damnable boot
floppies, as well as extremely hard to understand licensing
arrangement (I was never sure if I had a legal copy or not, someone
else at the workplace just gave me a copy of it, and I couldnt get any
information on the license for it)
I have two feature requests.
The first is to have an option, something like --name, which would
provide a 'name' for each 'session', so that if two people are using
udpcast on the same network, they wont conflict with each other. I
know they could just use different ports, but names seem easier than
ports (and certain ports might be blocked or conflict with other
programs)
The second, is to have a command line option to stop the 'timeout'
messages on the sender. I'm sending 7 GB of data and getting 1%
timeout (maybe because im sending to some old machines) so you can
imagine the massive amounts of messages written to the console. I'd
like an option like --quiet or --hide-timeouts to stop this stuff.
I might make a patch later on, but I thought I'd through this out
there in ccase someone has already done it or its being planned. Thank
you.
Hi, I'd like to have my udpcast to eject its CD-ROM before a broadcast
so I can pick it and boot another box with it. Yeah I could just push
the CD-ROM drive button but I'm a lazy bum. cast-o-matic is a great
tool so I though I could just upload eject and call it. Ok eject is
overkill, I did a smaller eject that I call miniject:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/cdrom.h>
#define DEF_CDROM "/dev/cdrom"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd;
if (argc > 1)
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK);
else
fd = open(DEF_CDROM, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK);
ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT);
}
But unfortunatly I can't find the cdrom device in /dev. Are there any
modules that I should add to the image in order to have the cdrom
device created in /dev ?

Hi,
after creater in the online interface an image for the intelpro1000-nic I get after startingthe computer with udpcast following message:
/lib/modules/2.6.11.12udpcast/modules.pcimap (No such file or directory) --> after klicking okay: mod probe: could not parse modules.dep.
I've got an older udpcast image (from december 20005) for the e1000, there are no problems.
(I need a newer image, because the computer have to resart after finishing the cloning.)
What can I do?
Kind regards
Dieter
Hi list,
I downloaded a new image of udpcast and had to find out that support for
FAT-filesystems seems to have gone away.
Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks

Hi,
We have a new notebook to image. I have started
testing of the send of the master, and initially
the receiver got a message :
received message, cap=00000009
then it shows it is connected and the IP and
the rest proceeds without a problem.
The sender showed: Starting transfer: 00000009
and then the stats on bytes transfered proceed without error.
The connection is over a crossover cable - no switch/hub.
Is there anything to be concerned with in that cap= message?

Hello all
I a have setup udpcast in a classroom at a Secondary School to
distribute CDs and whole directorie trees, and it works like a charm,
except for a minor nuissance.
Everytime I want to use udpcast I have to disconnect from the 3com-812
router that serves as a gateway.
When I try to send anything with the gateway connected there is an
extremely low transmission with errors el al. As soon as I disconnect
the router the throughput goes up to 70-90 Mbps.
Does anybody have any hint?
Thank you all
