Trustix's Swup feature

MissMetal · 01-30-2004, 02:48 PM

Hello there,

I made my first Trustix installation last night. It was very simple compared to the other installations I've been working on. I need a linux server that has software updating, and preferrably with dependencies. Trustix seemed to fit the bill.

However I'm not exactly sure how it works. Do I need to make settings about a PGP key even if I just want to swup --upgrade?

I was getting errors about a site not having a valid file list. I googled the error and found a post (that was a bit dated) on an archived mailing list that suggested i change the site section of swup.conf.

Here's my current swup.conf -

What changes do I need to make to get this working? Thanks..

Make sure your system time is up to date, otherwise you'll get errors about PGP keys not being valid, signed, etc.

I was trying to get to the internet via the orange net on a Smoothwall Express v2.0 fixes3 and had the Trustix box's DNS address set to the Smoothwall. Having RTF<Smootwall>M and STF<Smootwall>W, I discovered that Smoothwall did not supply DNS services to the orange net. So I did a

Code:

netconfig

and tried again
