lsh-service definition in documentation

lsh-service definition in documentation

[Adam Pribyl]

I am not sure if the doc is wrong or it has changed in the guix but the 
definition of lsh service as it is at
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html#Using-the-Configuration-System

(services (cons (lsh-service #:port 2222 #:allow-root-login? #t)
                   %base-services)))

is wrong, there should be

(services (cons (lsh-service #:port-number 2222 #:root-login? #t)
                   %base-services)))


at least this is how it works for me and conforms to:
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Networking-Services.html#Networking-Services

And the chapter
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Networking-Services.html#Networking-Services
defines networking and ssh modules under "system" but they are under 
"service".
I.e not
(gnu system networking)
but
(gnu service networking)

nevertheles, defining dhcp-client-service does not provide a networking 
anyway, so ssh-daemon (lshd) service is not working.

Oops, I’ve now fixed both.

Could you check what’s wrong with DHCP?  ‘deco status networking’ should
give you the PID of the DHCP client; from there, could you type “cat
/proc/THE-PID-OF-DHCP/cmdline” and check the list of networking
interfaces that are passed as arguments?

Also, does “deco restart networking” help?

Thanks,

I probably did something terribly wrong as there is no networking service 
at all. I added the service definition into my system config.scm
(services (cons (dhcp-client-service)
                   %base-services))

it did something, but probably not the right thing. Generally it is not 
obvious to me what the argument [#:dhcp isc-dhcp] should be... maybe this 
is it?

That looks good.  At the dmd level, that should provide a service called
‘networking’, hence ‘deco status networking’.

#:dhcp is used to specify the package containing the DHCP client; the
default is OK.
