More AstLinux Config Experiences

Today I'm setting my AstLinux box on a publix ip so I don't have to deal with firewall sip battles.

While in there, I set my timezone. Woohoo.

TIMEZONE=America/New_York

I also added an interface configuration, so that the webserver and sshd are accessible from the LAN, but not the WAN. That way, Asterisk can talk to my upstream sip gateway without issue.

Grrr, the bug where you have to edit the /etc/file and then the /stat/etc/file is really annoying. What's the deal with that?

Cool, got everything working again. But why does dnsmasq automatically turn on when you have an internal and external IP? That's is kind of presumptuous. I don't want to use this as a router too! I backed up and then deleted the respected init scripts fom /etc/init.d/. I actually don't want to run ntpd, inetd, or dnsmasq, so I removed them all. I also removed the cruft of the interface, too. That worked, good!

Would it be possible to make the sshd signature persistent? I'm going to copy all files from /etc/ssh/ to /stat/etc/ssh/, except moduli. Yep, that worked too. Awesome.
