Hi,
some more clarifications on dnsproxy below.
Hi,
I am still unsuccessful with the binaries test.
To remove the possibility that it could come from the fact I'm not
using exactly the same distribution version, I installed a machine
from scratch with Ubuntu 8.10 i386.
On this machine, I just updated the /etc/apt/sources.list file and
"apt-get install hipl-all". The packages installation has been
successful.
I rebooted the machine. At boot, I have these following services
started automatically and in background :
- /usr/sbin/hipfw -bklpF
- /usr/sbin/hipd -bk
- python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/hipdnsproxy/dnsproxy.py -bk
- sh -c hipconf dht get ntp.ubuntu.com 2>&1
- hipconf dht get ntp.ubuntu.com
In a previous answer, you told me to kill 'stuck' hipconf
processes. Every time I try to kill one of the two hipconf process,
they are immeditaly recreated (with another PID).
I figured out that they are controlled by the service HIPDNSPROXY.
hipconf shouldn't get stuck anymore even when hipd is busy with
something else, but it is difficult to anticipate all conditions on
different operating environments. You can try the following to see if
hipd is unresponsive:
strace -p `pidof hipd`
I have experienced unix path related problems with hipconf with dual
installations (dpkg -i hipl-tools and "make install"). However, you
said that you installed from scratch, so probably this isn't the reason?
Btw, what does "hipconf get ha all" tell you after you have tried to
connect to crossroads?
Moreover, when Hipdnsproxy service is running, it's playing with my
DNS address (/etc/resolv.conf file)
When it is running, it replaces my default DNS by "nameserver 127.0.0.53"
So then when I open Firefox and try to access
"crossroads.infrahip.net", it is trying to connect until the
timeout of Firefox arrives and I get the error : "Server not
found". Which is logical, since hipdnsproxy changes my DNS I don't
know it is supposed to translate Crossroads URL into an IP address
....
If during this manipulation, I stop the service Hipdnsproxy (->
/etc/init.d/hipdnsproxy stop)
Immediatly my file "/etc/resolv.conf" comes back to my good DNS
and I get here the blue page in Firefox with "This connection is
insecure. Please enable HIP".
This is how dnsproxy is intended to behave. It replaces returns HITs
when it discovers HIP-related records from hosts files or DNS. The
dnsproxy is basically a workaround because we don't have HIP
modifications in the official glibc yet :/
HIPL supports a number of other ways of using HIP as instructed in the
manual. However, I'd hope we can get the dnsproxy working for you
because it's IMHO the most convenient way.
Dnsproxy doesn't support yet setting of verbose debugging dynamically
on, so I uncommented some debugging lines and put a modified version of
dnsproxy to web. Can you execute the following on your machine and send
me the output:
shell 1:
wget http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/temp/dnsproxy.py
sudo /etc/init.d/hipdnsproxy stop
sudo ./dnsproxy.py
shell 2:
dig crossroads.infrahip.net
Thanks and have a nice weekend.
I tried to test the binaries on three different machines and I
always get the same behavior, the same result.
Am I missing one step ? Am I doing one thing wrong ? Isn't it
supposed to work directly ?
Thanks for your support

Hi,
we have some problems with our Bamboo DHT installation. There is a
hipconf command stuck on your ps output trying to do look up via
DHT. Crossroads can be found from DNS, so DHT is optional anyway.
I rolled new binaries that timeout hipconf when there is no
response. Please try if they work better for you. Remember to kill
the stuck hipconf processes or reboot the machine.
Hi all,
I'm still stuck on the "HIP binaries test" :-|
While I'm trying to access "crossroads.infrahip.net" via my
firefox web browser, I always have as result : "This connection
is insecure. Please enable HIP"
My config :
- Ubuntu 7.10 i386
- Want to use HIPL only in User-Space
- HIPL version installed : 1.0.4-19 (18th march 2009)
I installed all IPL debian packages following this tutorial ->
http://infrahip.hiit.fi/index.php?index=download
The installation went well. I have all the binaries and deamons
look like running perfectly in background :
>>root@knoppal-desktop:~# ps -elf | grep -i hip
5 S nobody 5571 1 0 78 0 - 1380 - 11:29 ?
00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hipfw -bklpF

00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hipd -bk

0 R root 6296 6282 0 78 0 - 743 - 11:31 pts/0
00:00:00 grep -i hip
But despite the fact that everything looks Ok according to the
HIPL user Manual, I still have the error message in firefox when
I try to connect to "crossroads.infrahip.net".
I have no idea how to go on. How to debug. How can I check what
part is going wrong ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
