Re: [Leaf-user] Oxygen + TFTP boot

I forget the full details, but it should be in syslinux.cfg - or at least some details should be there. Loading packages this way instead of using netload would also mean that when the FTP server starts the network is present and operational. That's neat. I think I should have tried the tftp route when I was first finding a way to make it all work, because the tftpd doesn't do the dns checking.

[Leaf-user] Netgear FA310TX and reversed ethernet address
OK so i bought 2 of these cards because somebody told me that they should work with most of the lrp variations. I installed both Eigerstein and EigersteinBeta with most defaults except for the modules (activated tulip and removed other ethernet drivers) anddhclient.conf (I need to send myethernet mac address to mediaone cable ISP). Anyway, this is the problem.I cannotget a connection from the ISP, dhclient cannot connect. Inoticed from thebootlog andip addr show that my ethernet addresses where reversed. eth0shows as: 02:00:08:e3:6a:46 instead of this correct address: 00:02:e3:08:46:6a The same is true for eth1. What is happening? Is this causing my dhclient to fail? Thanks, Gerry
Re: [Leaf-user] PPPoE + PCMCIA?
IF you are a beginner with PPPoE, your best bet by a mile is to use Kenneth Hadley's image for PPPoE (derived from EigerStein, if I recall correctly). I no longer have PPPoE here (yay!), but when I did, it was the one PPPoE setup I tried that worked without a hitch, every time. Not having used a PCMCIA-based router, I don't know how hard it is to add that support to Ken's image (or even if it is possible to do so). But if you are having any difficulty with simultaneously developing the two pieces, this image would, at a minimum, be a great fallback for you during the learning phase.

[Leaf-user] Autofailover between Cable and DSL help
Greetings. I know the topic of load balancing has been brought up before and I have read the HOWTO on this topic but am still somewhat in the dark. I am not a programmer and have almost no knowledge of Perl but am fairly familiar with LRP and Linux in general. Here is what I am trying to accomplish...I have several sites configured with both DSL and Cable internet access. I would like to use one of these services to back up the other in the event of a failure. My application is a VPN connection between these sites and our central site. The actual VPN will be configured separate from the router likely using some form of appliance. My thinking is to use a LRP configured box with 3 nics and some sort of script to periodically check the health of the links and make a decision on which interface to route the traffic. I am sure others have already been down this path and would prefer to not have to reinvent the wheel :-) If anyone out there has done this and has any scripts and/or suggestions they would be willing to share, I would be grateful.

Re: [Leaf-user] PPPoE + PCMCIA?
Bryan: I have Covad and I am using Kenneth Hadley's version Eigerstien2beta pppoebeta v.0.4. Works great, but I am using it on an old 486 with a D-link 5port switch so that I can plug my laptop into the net when I bring it home and my home computer is always plugged into the net.

[Leaf-user] multi-port cards + LRP
Greetings, all: I've been tasked with setting up a remote access solution for a number of remote offices. I was pondering setting up an LRP (either EigerStein or DachStein) box as a PPP dial-in box. I need to be able to provide 12 lines in, however. My first thought was a multi- port modem or multi-port serial adapter (with external modems). Anyone ever try such a thing? Does anyone know of any resources available for such a venture? TIA! Regards, Rich Lohman ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user

[Leaf-user] New package - Send Page and/or Email when Ports Hit
I've packaged a couple of scripts that tie into PortSentry which page me (and send email) every time one tries to connect to a port protected by PortSentry. One sends out a page based on the command line by using an email gateway (you'll have to figure out your own). The other does the work; it sends out the page, as well as formulating a big email with all the details possible about the source IP. This current script will, if the binaries are available, do the following (all against the source IP address): * whois (administrative contacts and IP block owner) * dig (name lookup and name servers) * traceroute (how long? what routers between here and there?) * tcptraceroute (same as traceroute, but uses TCP not ICMP - pierces some firewalls) * ping (how long does it take to get there?) * nmap (what ports do they have open? What are they running?) The last four also help to identify that this is a REAL host active on the network. The nmap option is in the script but not run by default: some sites could classify a nmap probe as hostile behavior (and perhaps illegal behavior). The nmap line is commented out.

Re: [Leaf-user] New package - Send Page and/or Email when Ports Hit
David, Can these scripts be made to work on Charles' Eigerstein images or is is it just for use with the Oxygen distro? This sounds like something that I'd like to set up on my firewall ES2B, especially with all of the activity that I have seen in the logs lately. Thanks!

This sounds like something that I'd like to set up on my firewall ES2B, especially with all of the activity that I have seen in the logs lately. It should be fine; I've not run them on EigerStein, but they are quite simple scripts, really. What makes them nice is the tying of other programs together. To be truly useful, the alert script requires some or most of the programs listed: jwhois, dig, ping, traceroute, tcptraceroute, nmap. However, if the program is missing it won't use it. All of those programs (except ping) are available as packages in the same location. All of them should yet work under glibc 2.0 (and Eigerstein).
