Hello NetReg Users,
Firstly before I put in a little niggles about netreg and the newer
dhcpd servers I better say it is a great piece of Software.
Thanks to the maintainers and when the hell is netreg 2.0 coming out - I
want more!! :-)
I have had a few minor problems with netreg 1.2 working with ISC's most
recent DHCPD.
The format of the dhcpd.leases file must have changed. I had to add
another "$TRASH" into register.cgi so it could get the right MAC.
Here's a code snippet from register.cgi.
($TRASH, $TRASH, $TRASH, $MAC) = split / +|\;/;
Note the extra $TRASH...
Maybe there could be a configuration time option for the people who
don't hack netreg once they get it. (I think most people do except ITS @
Southwestern ! )
Also earlier I had problems with authentication working. I am using a
newer perl (5.6.1) and when it ran variables.pl it kept defaulting to
FTP for authentication when I set it to use POP.
I made the following extremely minor changes to fix the problem.
$AUTH_METHOD = "POP"; # possible values: (FTP|POP)
if ($AUTH_METHOD =~ "POP") { use Mail::POP3Client; }
if ($AUTH_METHOD =~ "FTP") { use Net::FTP; }
Ok I hoped I helped a few people with similar installation problems
using newer packages.
