Can we use a range of ip addresses in the remote_hosts.cfg file?

Or a subnet?

I mean I'd like to be able to say

10.23.0.0/24

or

10.23.0.1-254

or suchlike to allow any machine from a specified subnet or range to connect. neither of these work, giving an error message like

Can't resolve hostname [10.23.0.1-254] host not found

so it appears to think it is a domain not an IP range. The other format gives a similar error.

Can I make a request for at least one of these formats to be included in a later release, unless there is a pre-existing work-around.

My specific application is to allow a box that comes in on a VPN to be allowed to BoincView the boxes within that net, but apart from knowing I will be on that subnet I don't know in advance what IP I will have. If I think I trust the other folk VPN-ing in, that should be up to me, shouldn't it?

I am sure others will find a use for this extension if offered, and of course it would make no difference to people setting up a list of single IPs.

I'd prefer this format, it's more flexible:
10.23.0.1-10.23.0.254

I think I'll send an email to boinc_dev proposing the feature (and linking to this thread).

River, if you want a workaround, you know Perl, so you should know how :D Make a script that generates all combinations.

(I don't know perl, but here's a PHP example, which I think is the same)
for($i=1; $i<=254; $i++) {
print "10.23.0.$in";
}

Run it and redirect output to remote_hosts.cfg. You're done.

(I don't know perl, but here's a PHP example, which I think is the same)
for($i=1; $i<=254; $i++) {
print "10.23.0.$in";
}

The same as Bourne shell script:

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
#!/bin/sh
for I in `seq 1 254`; do
echo "10.23.0.${I}"
done
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The same as Bourne shell script:

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
#!/bin/sh
for I in `seq 1 254`; do
echo "10.23.0.${I}"
done
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I usually do it like this in bash:

#!/bin/bash
for (( I=1; I<=254; I++ )); do
echo "10.23.0.${I}";
done

#!/bin/sh
for I in `seq 1 254`; do

#!/bin/bash
for (( I=1; I<=254; I++ )); do
echo "10.23.0.${I}";
done

so nobody thought of the obvious, then?

DIMENSION F(4)
F = 14H(9H 10.23.0.,I1)
DO 10 I=1,254
IF (I.EQ.10) F = 14H(9H 10.23.0.,I2)
IF (I.EQ.100) F = 14H(9H 10.23.0.,I3)
10 WRITE(6,F)I
END


;)


But seriously, thanks for passing my suggestion on to the devs, Nicolas, as my point was that the code should be written once and put in the client, not re-written every time someone wants to do it.

DIMENSION F(4)
F = 14H(9H 10.23.0.,I1)
DO 10 I=1,254
IF (I.EQ.10) F = 14H(9H 10.23.0.,I2)
IF (I.EQ.100) F = 14H(9H 10.23.0.,I3)
10 WRITE(6,F)I
END

...
What language is that? o.O

Fortran if I'm not much mistaken. One needs to hit reply to this post link to see the formatting though.

[edit]added [ code]..[ /code] tags to reveal formatting.

Fortran if I'm not much mistaken.

Yes, its almost Fortran

Most is F IV except for one feature (array assignment). Its also almost F 77 except for another (assign char to array). So its all Fortran but would need some work to make it go properly...

Whatever it was it made my head hurt...

I almost understood the Perl and bash scripts.

Scary, Fortran came to mind as soon as I saw River's post. The thing is the last time I used Fortran was in school 35 years ago and that was on punch cards.

For those who don't know history: punch cards - hence the formatting (or more exactly - identification) of Fortran.

History of Punched cards.
If you're interested this is the computer IBM 1130 that I learned to program on in college when I took my electronics courses. This was the card reader.
