Package: ipac-ng Version: 1.31-1 Severity: important The configuration files supplied with the package are wrong. At the startup and every 10 minutes there is the following message:
admin:~# /etc/init.d/ipac-ng start Starting IP Accounting: Error in config file near line 8: syntax error admin:~# /usr/bin/nice /usr/sbin/fetchipac Error in config file near line 8: syntax error The directive "classic mode =" is now obsolete and should not be in the ipac.conf file because version 1.31 only supports classic mode. The syntax of rules.conf file also is changed and now there is a called field "extension".
