Saturday morning I discovered I was having problems with my Allstar box. I wanted to control my node from the CLI, so logged in. My goal was to connect to Echolink, but my commands weren't working. The repeater would not key! I tried to reboot the computer but to a message telling me the command didn't exist. I tried using shutdown, but got no result either. I thought maybe the thing to do is reboot the computer from the power switch. I did that, and could not log-in remotely. The message I got was "access denied try later." Later, I remember when my micro node won't boot, you connect a keyboard to it, and hit F1. I shutdown the computer from the power switch again, and performed this action. The repeater is working, but when I try to connect remotely, I get "connection refused." I didn't change the port for SSH. Also, all three of my nodes have disappeared from the database. When you bring up the system wide node list, nodes 28142, 28143, and 28504 indicate they've been removed from the database. I never requested that! The 28142 node is my repeater, 28143 is my remote base, and 28504 was originally going to be used for a hub, but I've decided to make it a RTCM node. This will take a while, because I need to gather the funds for the equipment. I have an ISO image on my PC, but am not sure how to make it into a bootable CD.
