In addition to the above:
1. Old hardware are not green! For about USD$120 and 5W, try:
http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm
2. Shorewall current version is 4.4, 3.x is now "obsolete".
3. USB devices are 1.1 and can't use the faster 2.0 version.
Despite all the of the above, still using leaf as firewall.
Thanks!

I already have experience with porting & building packages for LEAF; 
also I have some maintenance/administrative/task-specific scripts, that 
must be adapted for new distro; and, of course, choice already is in 
past - I migrated to 2.6 kernel near 2 months ago, and all 2.6 boxes 
works good, without unexpected bugs. And now I make small improvements 
to the 2.6 tree; main objective for now is to clean some code and add 
mdev for modules autoloading.

Re: [leaf-devel] The UnNamed One

2010-05-15 Thread Paul Rogers
I agree with Andrew's reasons for using LEAF.  It has been my perimeter
firewall for many years.  However, by far, my preferred network
architecture involves a perimeter firewall as a "standalone" box that
does only that "first line of defense" job.  I put some value on being
able to Power-Cycle my perimeter firewall without overly disturbing the
internal network.  IMHO, that simplicity makes for more robust security.
If I can't do the job that way, it makes me re-analyze my plan and see
what I want to do "wrong".  "Fancy" things, like poking holes through a
perimeter firewall, may not always be wrong, but they certainly suggest
a different architecture should be examined.  Putting any sort of
"development tools" on a perimeter firewall is always wrong, IMNSHO.  So
far, so good, but, yes, I concede there are more complex architectures
that might be relevant in advanced cases.

I know many places regularly junk old hardware, and being forced to use
newer stuff can lead to the sort of hardware support problems Andrew has
had. Personally, I put a value on the sort of simplicity to be found in
the old hardware. "Uncomplicated" is a good thing.  The requirement I
have for saving an old box that can be "repurposed" to, say, a LEAF
perimeter firewall is reliability, "it just works".  At this point in
time, a suitable old box can still be found if one looks for it.  And in
at least one case, I've donated an old classic Pentium box to the cause.

It is behind my perimeter firewall where I accept a bit more complexity.
For example, this workstation's iptables has something like 140 rules,
more or less--it's very strict.

One day my position may become untenable, but not yet I think.  Until
then I'll prefer the tried and true.  IMHO, if my LEAF perimeter
firewall still presents a strong, "impenetrable" first line of defense
sitting there alone, it's just fine as it is.

Erich,
I have no problem with those goals. I don't see one development path
excluding others. Options are desirable, and encouraged under our
project's development model. Just look at our old derivation map. 

Branch Derivation
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=2

Predicting which path is desirable in hind site is easy. You need
something like a prediction market to make correct forecasts. That's why
I tend to favor multiple overlapping SCRUMs, and let the community
(users & developers) pick desired direction.

Right, still I would like to opt to at least try to upgrade the kernel
and the security relevant packages to an actual level of 2.4 for all
that still would like to use the 2.4 branch. I am just about to
integrate the latest 2.4 OpenSwan into my stack, next thing will be to
move to 2.4.37.9 with the kernel. Also Openvpn and openssl is some way

I use LEAF for more powerful tasks that home router/storage, and we have 
more than 400Mbps on some LEAF routers. I don't use any other distro on 
them by some reasons:
1) LEAF doesn't need HDD, it's enough to insert small IDE SSD - that is 
cheaper than HDD and have higher reliability in R/O mode
2) LEAF is easier in maintenance & update/backup
3) LEAF takes much less resources than full-sized distro (for RAM - it 
takes up to 2-4 times less memory than non-uClibc distro)
4) It's very easy to deploy new LEAF box for replacement old one
And there is only short list of advantages.
The main disadvantage for me was very rare kernel with ugly support for 
new hardware - so, when I take new LAN card (i82576) and discover that

Paul,
Back-ports to 2.4 kernel aren't a long term solution. Kernel 2.4
(2.4.36) development effectively stopped in 2008. The same reasoning
goes for all the packages that LEAF variants use. It's time to join the
2.6 crowd.

Anyone know if these are easily available with the write protect 
option?  I looked at the specs from the link above and they only mention 
that a write protect jumper is an option.  It may not seem like a huge 
deal to many, however I see a huge value in being able to write protect 
my setup easily.

That being said I haven't run any LEAF variant for maybe a couple of 
years mostly due to wanting to use a 2.6.xx kernel.  I'd move back in a 
heartbeat if something was available with a 2.6 kernel.  I've run LEAF, 
and it's roots for eon's and have always liked the fact that I could 
write protect my media.  Somewhere down the line, Dachstein maybe, when 
decent CDROM support was added I used to create a bootable CD with my 
setup saved to that.  That did get to be a bit to much work for me so I 
went back to floppy.  Just had to keep that huge stack around to find 
ones decent enough to format to 1.72.

I've rambled enough for now

Mike

I may give it some consideration after I get a chance to see 3.01 in

Oh, I understand that.  I'm not suggesting a retrofit, just that a
usable copy of one of the floppy-capable versions be kept online for
downloading by someone who might need it.  Just keep it around.

The 2.6 kernel is that large, that a runnable _and_ useful floppy version in 
the way we provided it with the kernel 2.4- based versions is just not 
possible.
It should be possible to create a floppy on your own with the packages to fit 
your needs (e.g. without the ppp/pppoe stuff if you use dhcp, without an ssh 
server or whatelse you don't need) . But it won't be doable to create a 
floppy that runs out of the box with all the packages used by most of the 
users.
Thats the price to moving to a 2.6 based kernel, IMHO.

Maybe we create a basic bootable floppy version, where packages can be 
added...

You're correct. First it was an import, and bypassed the commits hook.
Also, I corrected some errors in mailman privacy options, sender

I'm still running Bering-1.2.  I would only wish that the floppy
versions should be given the little amount of space they require to
remain available on-line for someone who has reason to run that
configuration in the future.

As may be, but that was very good work done.  I always thought setup
could have been easier in that old version and contributed some, I hope,
helpful criticism from a new user's perspective, but I can't complain
about it keeping me safe all these years--albeit I still find the need
for an internal firewall as well.

Based on my experience I've recommended it to a buddy, and I've almost
got a v3.01 box ready to go for him--once I get a replacement for a
presumably flakey NIC.

I agree. And if I can help out by explaining some of the modifications 
we made to make things work with kernel 2.6, I'll gladly do so (if I 
manage to recall why we added some of the changes)

Sounds good to me. Once there is a new branch that is actively 
developed, changing the name or version control system should be easy 
enough.

Paul;

the UnNamedOne was a "design study" two years ago by Martin Hejl, which is 
different from Andrews work.

That said I hope that both efforts will end up in a joint project, which may 
(or should?) get a new name. Not only that it is based on a 2.6 kernel and it 
marks the end of floppy-runnable versions, it shall change the model  that 
just a small, and somewhat closed, group of developers are responsible for a 
stable version of the core and all additional applications/packages. Instead 
the LEAF developers community shall be responsible to provide the best and 
most stable version we can reach.
So it's a more open approach than we had with Bering and Bering-uClibc.

However, your suggestions are appreciated, they are easy to spell and write, 
not to mention, that I'm living near the Kattegat and Skagerag area :)

I think, once Andrew commits his work into src, we can try to build a new beta 
version and to go on from there with a new name, with a new repository - and 
if necessary with a new version control system. But lets have the code first.

Darwin Straits in Tierra del Fuego?

I've always thought the Skagerrak & Kattegat were neat names.
Maybe a bit wide, depending on how narrow one thinks a "strait"
should be.

Gibraltar, Hormuz, Hudson, Kara, Kerch, Korea, La Perouse,
Laptev, Luzon, Malacca, Magellan, Matochkin, Menai, Messina,
