auto-learn networks for wake-on-lan about limux-gosa HOT 4 OPEN

From [email protected] on November 23, 2012 09:19:45

The learned networks should be stored in a persistent file separate from the clientdb, because someone might want to delete the clientdb but we don't want to lose the learned networks because WOL would regress.

Current state of the implementation:

"2) try to resolve the plain name" has been dropped. There's not really a justification for assuming that if "foo.bar.com" fails to resolve we should use "foo.otherdomain.org" just because the name happens to start with "foo". If a system is stored in LDAP with a fully qualified domain name that's a strong statement by the admin that he wants to identify the system with precision.

Most of the algorithm is contained in db.SystemFullyQualifiedNameforMAC(). Step 5), the numeric network spamming is contained directly in action.Wake()

The following parts are still missing:

1. Add learned numeric networks to db.SystemNetworksKnown()

1.1) Learn numeric networks from (confirm_)new_server messages' elements

1.2) Learn numeric networks from new_foreign_client messages

1.3) Learn numeric networks directly from incoming connections' TCPConn.RemoteAddr(). This takes care of learning server peers as well as client peers, so there's no need to parse elements on new_server or here_i_am.

NOTE: Learning ipHostNumber networks is not included in this list because I believe it offers no additional benefit over the above set.

2. Learn domains for being returned by db.SystemDomainsKnown()

2.1) Learn domains from peer servers listed in DNS (config.ReadNetwork())

2.2) From reverse lookup, whenever we learn a NEW numeric network from an address in 1) above.
