Hello Ray, Chad , Lynn
It seems the discussion starts again :)
Did anybody try out the weblet.lrp / cdb.lrp which is a working demo of parts
of the webconfiguation
www.leafinfo.com/webconfig
I also put some flowcharts about how see things could be working.
Unfortunately my best version got lost ( mounting /dev/fd0u1680 as /dev/fd0 and
write access :((
2. about the preconfig.
A preconfig of a heterogenous hardware environment could be
a automatic,
f.e bootstrap with a multipurpose kernel check what modules got loaded,
now create the necessary entries in the modules.conf and create a modules.lrp
f.e from a cd or over a network link .
Those are written to a new floppy including the smaller kernel
+ You don't need to know much about your hardware
- You don't learn a lot about your router.
b webbased, not on the router could be rather easily done by forexample a
php script. answering some questions. and
get a list of things to get.
get the necessary modules directly from the web
get the necessary modules from an installation CD
The configuration files could also be easily created.
But who trusts a webserver in the wild to configure my security sensitiv
firewall ?
c Script
I did that for an eigerstein ISDN
just put some variables in a textfile and a script creates the necessary
settings.
All those methods can easily and without much work be created for a 0815 (
vanilla) setup.
As soon as you want something more, ( if you realy use portforwarding, DMZ ,
internal servers VPN and so on) all those methods will be more complicated. and
then we should think the whole structure over why would we use 4 levels of
settings over each other
example why use :
a webinterface to manipulate a database with vars that fills the templates for
a shorewall file that uses a script to set the iptables commands. ??
