AW: IPSEC and PPTP

[Grischa Schuering]

Thanks a lot.
I basically understand now what to do.
 
I tried to build my own 2.4.18 kernel with make-kpkg --make-menuconfig 
--revision=2.4.18-fwipsec.1.0 kernel_image.
Everything seemed fine so far, but when installing the kernel image (ln -s 
/boot/vmlinuz.new vmlinuz), lilo, and restarting, the kernel is tried to be 
loaded by lilo but then suddenly resets the machine (after the points are being 
displayed).
 
What could be th prob?
 
Is ist that the kernel I build is not worling properly or
does it have to do anything with my old kernel set up by initrd (what is it 
anyway)?
 
Any ideas ?
 
Thanks,
 
Grischa
BTW: How do I tell Lilo to let me choose e.g. by a boot menu which kernelimage 
to boot from?

Hi. What you need is:

http://www.freeswan.org/

or just apt-get

freeswan - IPSEC utilities for FreeWan
kernel-patch-freeswan - IPSEC kernel support for FreeSwan

Quite simple setup.. It's all there, manuals and stuff.

Works for both network-client and network-network setups.

I have used it for over 2 years w/ no problems. Stable as a rock.

Regarding pptp.

You want to connect your XP to a linux firewall, to get inside?

pptpd (PoPToP) .. work well.

 Hello folks,

 I am sure there is somebody who can help me on this matter. It is very
 important to me and I will be very grateful if somebody tells me how 
to
 solve it:

 I am using debian woody.
 What is the best and easiest way to get a IPSEC tunnel (encrypted e.g.
 3DES) running between two seperate networks ??
 I was reading something about freeswan? Also a couple months ago, I 
saw
 a package PIPSECD which no longer exists?

 So what is the easiest an best way to get it running ?

 The other thing is. I would also like to connect to my linux gateway 
via
 a Micorsoft XP PPTP Connexion.
 What packages do I have to installed. I think there used to be a MPPE
 patch. But I don't see it anymore for the actual woody release...


 Greetings,

 grischa

This just happened to me and it turned that there were many choices of 
architecture and I had chosen (or not noticed that I had chosen) a different 
flavor of x86.  That was exactly my symptom.  Recheck your menuconfig carefully.
BTW: How do I tell Lilo to let me choose e.g. by a boot menu which kernelimage 
to boot from?
Here is the part of my /etc/lilo.conf that does that:
# Boot up Linux by default.
#
default=Linux-2.4.18
image=/vmlinuz
   label=Linux-2.4.18
   read-only
#   restricted
#   alias=1
image=/vmlinuz-old
   label=LinuxOld
   read-only
HTH,
