2) The machine I administer remotely in another country is connected to an ISP that provides a dynamic IP, which has caused me headaches trying to find a method of automatically obtaining the new address each time it changes. If I change over to an ipv6 connection, will they still issue a dynamic address? (I don't know if the dynamic IP is a means to conserving limited ipv4 addresses or if it serves other purposes).
write a script for the remote box to email you when ip addr changes with new ip addr. I did this but didn't need to email the new ip addr as it was in the email header.
I asked about this before, but it ended with a debate between other users about which mailing application needs to be used and how it should be configured. It was all too much for me to understand and not as simple as I'd assumed.
Overall it really _is_ simple - use a dynamic DNS service. Or if you don't care about the name, maybe use an ssh tunnel, initiated from the other side. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
