missing references to strlcpy and strlcat when trying to compile utils/fwparam_ibft

[NutStation]

Hi!

I am in the process of setting up my first iscsi boot environment and
i am using open-scsi as the initiator for my nodes. I am followiing
this excellent tute: http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/debian_etch_iscsi

As the tute states, the fwparam_ibft executable is not part of debian
install, and so I set forth to compile it manually per the
instructions. However it didn't quite work out as I had hoped. First I
had alot of errors like these:

/root/open-iscsi-2.0-871/utils/fwparam_ibft/fwparam_ibft.c:395:
undefined reference to `strlcpy'

I fixed that by copying the strlcpy and strlcat implementations from
postgreSQL from here: http://doxygen.postgresql.org/strlcat_8c-source.html
into a new file strl.c and incorporating that into the Makefile

However when I try to create the fwparam_ibft executalbe that the
original tute talks about after meding the strl* problem, it now
complains that there is no main function. And indeed after grep'ing
the whole dir there are no main functions to be seen for fwparam_ibft

This leads me to the following question:

1.How can i obtain the fwparam_ibft binary or the current equivalent/
replacement?
2.What changes must be made to the build instructions and the boot
scripts mentioned in that tute?

Thanks!

If you just do make user or make from the top level of the tarball then
it should all build ok. There is no fwparam_ibft program. Instead just
run iscsiadm in fw mode.

log into targets found in fw
iscsiadm -m fw -l

print out the targets found in fw and create /etc/iscsi/nodes records
for them
iscsiadm -m discovery -t fw -P 1

print out the targets found in fw and create /etc/iscsi/nodes records
for them and login
iscsiadm -m discovery -t fw -P 1 -l

Are you using ibft?

I figured this out by myself after alot of anguish.

It turns out fwparam_ibft has been merged into the iscsistart tool. By
running "iscsistart -f" you get something similar but not quite the
same as the result of running feparam_ibft.

Hope this is useful to some other poor soul!
