I am trying to run Dude under Linux, with the client and the server on
separate machines. Which EXE is the server and does it have any
command line parameters or configuration file that I need to pass to it?
Also how do I tell the client where the server is?
dudes.exe is dude server, it automatically runs dudew.exe (web server) if
configured to do so. Dude server does not require any parameters to run, it
places all data files in directory in which it was installed to (default is
C:\Program Files\Dude).
dude.exe is dude client, you run it and after pressing ‘Connect’ button you
specify local/remote/secure server. ‘local’ mode does not work under wine. so
you specify ‘remote’ or ‘secure’ and ip address of dude server, login and
password. Note that dude client by default remembers dude server it was last
connected to, so you have to do this only one time, otherwise you can specify
server on command line: “dude.exe --connect [server ip] [username]
[password]”
I was not asked for a userid and password when I ran the install. Is there a file I need to put them in?
I am VERY reluctant to run the server with root priviledge, so I need to know which bits of the server need this. I assume that the PING logic needs it, but SNMP should not. Can I run it so that the server so that is only uses SNMP and not PING.
