  • MBSE and Xinetd in new setup.

    From Gert Andersen@2:230/150 to All on Wed Mar 16 11:00:04 2016
    Hello All!

    I have reinstall a new system on my fido2 pc with Gentoo and this is now changed from using eth0 to enp2s0 in interface card and after installing xinetd
    is xinetd not start in reason of it like to use the old eth0 so my mbse it not right working self if it polls out but not running right as it should for the telnet connection to get the sysop as first user for mbsebbs and linux user.
    I have tried to find out where I in linux config files shall change eth0 to be enp2s0.
    There is then 2 choise there is either.
    1. make linux use the old eth0
    2. get changed xinetd to use enp2s0 instead of eth0.

    It is just the newuse of interface keep going changed eth0 to enp2s0 and change
    it again to eth0, self if I try to make linux to keep it to be eth0.

    Take care,
    Gert

    ArchLinux does the same thing. In their network setup docs (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration) it shows how to change the device name using the udev rules. You could probably doe the same sort of thing with Gentoo.

    I have not tried this so your mileage may vary.
