Full Version: no remote after reboot
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.

I'm trying to setup a Fedora 8 pc to run as a headless server (5 clients max) more of a project than anything. Problem is, when I reboot the computer it wont let me ssh or xdmcp into the pc until I physically goto the computer and login locally once, then everything works fine. Really quite confused here. Ports open of note are: tcp 22, tcp/udp 177,16001, 6000-6015, 35091. I guess my question is whats preventing me from connecting? Is there a default refuse all connections on boot and to bypass it I have to log in to load up my own configuration?

is selinux enabled or disabled ?

I just check it and it's been in permissive mode since I installed. I thought that, that was what was the problem.

so is the problem selinux related or not, i didn't quite understand your reply

Sorry. From what I understand permissive just logs whats going, doesn't stop it. So i'm going to say that it probably isn't selinux. I'll disable it anyway to see if it'll change anything and get back to you.


I've been doing a little research into this [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img] and it seems that the network connection isn't comming up on boot even though it shows the step in the start up script (Fedora 8). First tryed to connect to the server while I ran wireshark and the server didn't respond to any of the arp request. Then I ran a few ping sweeps to see what was on the network and it didn't show up. So it seems that when I log in locally on the computer it finishes Establishing a connection allowing me to remote into it after. o_O

What I can't figure out now is why it still isn't connecting properly after a reboot.

I output a file listing all the services I'm running on startup (unfortunatly I couldn't attach it because the directory isn't writeable):

Off on all run levels except for 5. What runlevel are you on by default? A remote server.. I'd expect it to be 3. Even then its unusual for the network to be off on 2, 3 and 4?

 

Further .. why is iptables on with levels 3 and 4 .. when the network is off?

Quote:ip6tables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:off 6:offiptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
 

So my guess is that you need to enable your network for runlevels 2, 3 and 4.

 

If you agree then:

 



Code:
# chkconfig --level 234 network on




 

Should fix it. Maybe checking your iptables to find out whats in there if its still broken?


Alright lets see if I can answer all your questions. Fist off the server is currently run in run level 5 because it's at my girlfriends house and the motherboard on there pc is shot so there also using my computer for everyday tasks,for now. Also, I'm not 100 % comfortable in console, though I spend most of my time in there anyway.

Next, the fact that only run level 5 was the only one with networking on is because I activated it through the services gui and didn't bother changing the other run levels. So now 234 & 5 all have network service running but still no good. I rebooted the computer and tried to ssh into it and the connection timed out as it usually does after a reboot. After a reboot and before a log in the computer wont even respond to a ping. I'm running out of ideas so if there are logs that my help let me know so I can post them.

Thanks for the help


So I think I figured out what was causing my lack of network problem...NetowrkManager. I'm not sure how it was preventing connections right after a reboot but I turned it off and reboot and I can still connect.

 

Thanks for all the help.
