Hi,
I was wondering if could be possible to add a cmdline option in
/tftpboot/udpcast/pxeslinux.cfg/default to pass configuration file options,
like
auto=yes
lang=US
kbmap=US
netmodule=pcnet32
netmodparm=
dhcp=yes
port=9000
disk=/dev/hda
mode=0
udpcparam=
Something like
label linux
kernel linux
append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd root=/dev/ram0
conf=auto:yes:lang:US:kbdmap:US ... and so on
ipappend 1
I would like to add ca_ES lang suport, also spanish keyboard map, how can i
do it ?
Thanks in advance

Hello all
I am using udpcast-20070218-1.i586.rpm on OpenSuse 10.2
It seems that I can transfer (iso) files without problem, but I am unable to
transfer directory trees through a pipe.
commands
# udp-sender --log log.txt --pipe "tar -cvzf - dir/"
# udp-receiver --log log.txt --pipe "tar -xvzf - "
I keep getting the following error in the receivers
----------------------------------------------------------------
amd:/some/dir # udp-receiver --log log.txt --pipe "tar -xvf -"
Udp-receiver 2007-02-18
Compressed UDP receiver for (stdout) at 192.168.1.2 on eth0
received message, cap=00000009
Connected as #0 to 192.168.1.4
Listening to multicast on 232.168.1.4
dup2 -1->1: Bad file descriptor
Press any key to start receiving data!
----------------------------------------------------------------
the sender shows the following line repeated
----------------------------------------------------------------
Timeout notAnswered=[0] notReady=[0] nrAns=0 nrRead=0 nrPart=1 avg=9106
----------------------------------------------------------------
and the transfer stalls. The logs are empty in sender and receivers
Any idea out there? :-)
Thanks you all.
Is anyone using UDPCast to periodically mirror files... ?
I see a couple of older (2003) posts that ask somewhat similar
questions; however, we have a series of media files (some very large,
like a few gig) that need to be mirrored to a few hosts on a periodic
basis. Hopefully, without overloading the link in the process.
Anyway, we plan on mirroring files that are current within 48hours.
Easy to build up that file list.
I might be concerned about specifying "download, then overwrite" or
"don't download if exists" and such (rsync can do some of these things).
Obviously, there's little sense in mirroring files if they already exist.
I'm also concerned about security. We have a mix of Unix and Windows
servers that will be utilizing this process (whatever it ends up being).
Apart from individual firewall rules, what's the best way to secure
udpcast from unwanted activity - this is a private network, but still
prudent to secure any open services.
Thanks.

I found the error (is it one?): The pipe command receives the udpcast
output file as its output (while updcast then writes to a pipe leading to
the pipe command). If you don't use the "--file" option the resp. file
descriptor is -1.
Solution is simple: specify both, --file and --pipe.
Have fun!
