Webcam on AllStar?
by Bob Roszkowski 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

I know this is a strange request but I have an all-in-one machine that I am going to use for a node at a REMOTE repeater site. It has a built in webcam. I was wondering if there was something out there that would be able to capture images and send them to a server. Kind of a cheap / free "security" system. At least I would be able to tell if someone was at the site. I Googled it but was not able to find anything simple with out GUI. boB - W5EVH

I have had problems with users that link large groups such as 2135 to my node(s). Once is a mistake, but if this continues to happen, it can cause real problems. Not all stations have full-duty cycle transmitters, for instance. In most cases, the offender has been connected via Web Transceiver, dials a slew of DTMF commands, and then disappears. The last time it happened, I think something like 68 nodes were connected to my hub node, and our groups 10-12 transmitters. Some of the responsibility falls on the node owners to know who is controlling their node, and what is happening as a result. I myself use text messaging/email and additional logging to keep track of node activity. I'd be all ears on the "right" way of dealing with it though. 73 Kyle Yoksh K0KN Olathe, KS Allstar 2210-2219 --- Original Message --- > From: Jim Duuuude > To: "Bryan D.

Loading CENTOS Error Mounting Device Message
by Chris K7AZ 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

I am attempting to install CENTOS on a 2.5" 44 pin IDE hard drive attached to an HP T5740e Thin Client. I have tried several different size HD but keep getting the same error message: "Error mounting device sda1 as /: Invalid argument" "This most likely means this partition has not been formatted." "Press OK to reboot your system" Same Thin Client will load CENTOS to a 44 pin 4GB Flash Drive or a SATA drive with no problems. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks, Chris K7AZ 29275

Node Blocking
by David Osborn 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hi Group, I'm convinced I've seen talk of this before, but having trawled the archives, I'm darned if I can find it. Is there a method of blocking specific AllStar nodes from connecting? I know we're all friends here and wouldn't dream of being unpleasant to each other, but there are occasions when it may be necessary to temporarily stop another node from linking. How would this be achieved? Thanks David

Asterisk ended with exit status 1
by Bill Hurlock 30 Aug '13

I have been noticing a few people having issues with Zaptel configs. I just constructed a new server and updated asterisk to the latest version only to find that Asterisk just sits there and restarts every 45 seconds. The looked at the Astrisk log file and it is complaining about Zaptel not being configed correctly. If I don't need Zaptel how do I take it out of the compile or unload it? I'm not that good with Centos just yet. My other node which I just brought all my asterisk .conf files over and updated the node number within the files will not run on this machine either. My old node runs on a Dell Dimension 4700 with no issues. The new PC is an HP low profile USH81100JM. They are a Core 2 dou Intel processor with 2 Gig of RAM. I use these all over the place at work and never have any issues with them. Anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this?

Hi James, No, I'm familiar with the EchoLink thing. This is specifically AllStar nodes. It's not something I want to do much, if at all, but it's one for the arsenal lest it be needed. BTW. We see you connected frequently to 2483 et al, but don't often hear any voices J (and, no, you're not going on the blacklist!!)

How would this be achieved? Thanks David David, If you are talking about the Echolink side, you can put a line in echolink.conf that will allow/or disallow certain callsigns/node types. I have mine set to permit=*-* (ie any RF link) and certain PC users callsigns, seperated by commas. The rest get the "Un Authorised" message and a connection failure! Keeps the kerchunkers away, and the bad PC audio! J
