RE: [Leaf-user] PPPoP DachStein Firewall going to two disk - completed

2001-12-24 Thread Kevin

I have everything up and running on DachStein with a two floppy set-up
including sshd!

Thanks Everyone for the help and tips.

Charles thanks for the great work on DachStein. You might think about
updating the docs to include documentation support for two floppy set-ups. I
did not see that in the docs and it might help others.

Thanks for the tip on the multidisk support!!!

It seems I have run into the 255 character limit in the syslinux.cfg file.

I did notice on the old Eiger it was set-up like this:
display syslinux.dpy
timeout 0
default linux
append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix
ramdisk_size=16384 root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680,msdos
PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680,/dev/fd1u1680
LRP=etc,log,local,modules,ppp,pppoe,dhcpd,dnscache,psentry,weblet,sshd,jbust
er,oidentd

It seems on the NEW DachStein, line 3 does not contain a line feed, so it
appears like this:
display syslinux.dpy
timeout 0
default linux append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix
ramdisk_size=12288 root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0,msdos
PKGPATH=/dev/cdrom:iso9660
LRP=etc,ramlog,local,modules,dhclient,dhcpd,dnscache,weblet

I know the packages are different, these are just as an example.

Charles - is this correct or should this be updated to allow for loading
more packages? I added a line feed and now I can load everything again.

Now to set-up sshd and use putty and all is done

[Leaf-user] JunkBuster start-up help

2001-12-24 Thread Kevin

I have used JunkBuster version 2.0.1 on my system for over one year. Great
piece of proxy and blocking software.

Under Eiger, it would not auto load due to a missing SU command. I was never
able to get this to work, so I had to manually start by ssh into the box and
issue junkbuster /etc/junkbuster/config  (no quotes) and all was well
until the next reboot.

I get the following error message while booting under DachStein -
junkbustersu not found

Has anyone fixed this error, if not what can I do to have the above command
issued after boot-up? I am not a *nix expert, so any help or web page to
search the answers would be helpful.

Thanks

Re: [Leaf-user] Is this newbie even in the right ballpark with LEAF? (Summary)

2001-12-24 Thread Charles Steinkuehler

 Do not make the mistake of equating stripped down with low capacity.

 I'm not confusing the two. However, I've already identified two
optimizations
 that can't be used with the standard LEAF distro

 1) No linux support for hardware encryption accelerators;

 2) No IP stack multithreading in the 2.2 kernel, which effectively neuters
 dual CPU hardware.

Both correct, AFAIK, but you can use the 2.4 kernel with LEAF and get around
the second issue...

 With an ipsec tunnel in place, throughput was between 3268 and 3402
 KB/sec [Which is 32 to 34 megabits per second encryption rate]

  ---

 This 3.3 megabit 3DES encryption rate with the PIII/733 is only about that
of
 a pair of T-1 lines; while the similar hardware in the Intel box has an
 encryption rate of 95 megabits.

???  You're confusing me...how do you go from 32-34 MBits/s to 3.3 MBits/s?

 Testing with single processor 733 MHz Pentium III systems, and measuring
 with ttcp, unencrypted traffic moved at 10644-11320 KB/s, or about 92
 MBits/s (that's a pretty saturated 100Mbit ethernet link!).  Adding
 encryption overhead caused these speeds to drop by about 1/3, to
3268-3402
 KB/s, or about 27 MBits/s.

 My point exactly: The Intel reference design - Now being sold by H-P as
 well - seems to be about 3 times as efficient in 3DES encryption as
FreeS/WAN
 with (essentially) the same PIII/733 architecture.

major snipage

 I'm not trying to bash FreeS/WAN - Quite to the contrary! I know it's a
 decent product that does its job well. When I see something with about the
 same hardware (PIII/733) that's 3 times more efficient, though, it raises
a
 flag.

Yeah, but those are the specs with the optional hardware crypto accelerator.
You can't compare the hardware assisted numbers of the intel box with the
CPU only numbers of FreeS/WAN, and claim the intel box is 3x faster code, or
3x more efficient code...it's faster because it has a crypto ASIC built-in
to offload the CPU.

I've seen a number of reports from folks successfully using hardware
acceleration with FreeS/WAN, although this is not a particularly main-stream
thing.  If you really want to burst to 155 MBits/sec, you'll probably need
some form of hardware acceleration (at least for a year or two, until the
5-6 GHz CPU's come out).  You might also want to note that the new AES
crypto algorithm is much more CPU friendly than 3DES (as are several other
cryto standards).  You may be able to find FreeS/WAN patches for rijendall
(sp?) or some of the other alternate crypto schemes that will give you
higher throughput than 3DES.

Re: [Leaf-user] Dachstein-CD V1.0.2 Available

2001-12-24 Thread Charles Steinkuehler

 I have a question Charles, how/where is the /dev/cdrom symlink created?  I
took a stock version of your 1.0.2 image and modified it to fit my needs
(i.e. set a root passwd, included some other packages like psentry, setup
network config for my net, stuff like that).  I then did full backups of the
packages to floppy.  I then created an image with the updated *.lrp files
from the floppy overwriting the default packages on the CD.

 When I reboot, all my settings are there, but the /dev/cdrom symlink is
missing and everything is trying to load from /dev/hda.  I could just reset
the modules to point to /dev/hda and probably be happy, but I was wondering
what went wrong, and if I can just find it and fix it, that would be easier
than burning a bunch of cd's experimenting.

The /dev/cdrom symlink is created in the /linuxrc script, but the actual
code to do this is in /var/lib/lrpkg/root.dev.mk

This should be part of the root.lrp package, which is part of the bootable
floppy disk image embedded on the CD-ROM (or on your boot floppy, if you're
not booting directly from the CD).

Re: [Leaf-user] fsck.ext2: erro in loading shared libraries

2001-12-24 Thread Charles Steinkuehler

 So... I finally got nice clean download and got the hard disk going on
 my Dachstein system.
 (pick the right mirror and stomp on the shift key...)

 So, being faithful to Charles' HOWTO, I installed the hdsupp_s.lrp
 package.  Fsck cannot find a shared library and neither can I...  when
 the system boots or when I try to run fsck.ext2, I get the following
 message:

 Parallelizing fsck version 1.12 (9-Jul-98)
 fsck.ext2: error in loading shared libraries
 libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or
 directory

 I am running Dachstein and loaded the Materhorn hdsupp_s, which is the
 latest version I have found.  The disk is set-up precisely per Charles'
 HOWTO, except for the partition sizes (the names were not even changed
 to protect the innocent.)

 Any ideas... I am running out of them myself...

Only that lots of the libraries and binaries changed between Eiger and
Dachstein.  I'll take a look at this, and make a new HDD support package if
required, but it probalby won't be until Wedensday or so...

Re: [Leaf-user] PPPoP DachStein Firewall going to two disk

2001-12-24 Thread Charles Steinkuehler

 I am having all sorts of problems. I tried to upgrade from Eiger2Beta v4
 with PPPoP to the new Dachstein.

 I was running a two floppy set-up because I needed ssh to admin the box.

 I have the single floppy up and running as designed, however I can not get
 the multi294.lrp to load so I can backup root and use two floppies. I did
 edit syslinux.cfg to add and installed on the first boot floppy. The
scripts
 load all packages and stop at the multi294 and all others after that one.

 Anyone have any clues as what to try next? I really need the two floppies
 and no my motherboard does not support booting from CD Rom as I have
fought
 all day with this.

As others have mentioned, Dachstein supports multiple disks out of the
box.  To add a second (or third, or fourth...) disk, simply add it to the
PKGPATH= part of syslinux.cfg.  Since you mentioned you're running out of
space on the syslinux command line, you may want to use the available
overrides for LRP= and PKGPATH=.  For PKGPATH, add the file pkgpath.cfg on
your boot floppy.  For LRP=, use lrpkg.cfg.  Some details on how this
works are in the CD-ROM readme (available online:
http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/diskimages/dachstein-CD/README.txt ).  I
hope to get some floppy-orineted documetation of these new features written
soon.

You don't need the multi294.lrp, there is multi-disk support in

something like PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680,/dev/fd1u1680 where /dev/fd1u1680

Re: [Leaf-user] whereis ifconfig

2001-12-24 Thread Colleen R. Dick

Please forgive my obvious newbie-ness but you gotta start somewhere.  I 
am trying to run Eiger Stein Dynamic on a floppy-only PI system with 
identical Netgear FA311 PCI NIC's.  

EigerStein Dynamic is pretty old. You should consider moving to a current
LEAF distribution ... DachStein or Oxygen.

OK I will do that, I was told Oxygen was hard to configure and wasn't 
sure what all
was in it.

I have adapted the network.conf and 
the modules file, I uncommented  8390 as per Charles S's suggestion, and 
also uncommented ne2k-pci  My internal network (already going off another 
router I built) is a 192.168.100.0/24 so I set all the eth1 stuff 
accordingly.  eth1 seems to be able to ping.  I can not locate ifconfig 
on this system, that's how I've always checked settings.  Is that a 
redhat thing or what?  

what. That is, it is an Eiger thing. Eiger and its descendants use the ip
command (the package is sometimes called iproute) instead of ifconfig.
Try ip link show or ip addr show, depending on what information you want.

BTW, you will also find the route command to be missing. Use netstat -nr
where you would otherwise use route -n.

Yes I noticed that too.

 My error the same as his:  dhcp says no subnet has 
been written (0.0.0.0) and that I should fix up dhcpd.conf but I looked 
at it and it does have the correct subnet in it.  What EXACTLY am I 
supposed to do to dhcpd.conf?

What EXACTLY are you running DHCP for? 

The most obvious thing, to get an IP dynamically from external and then 
share it
by routing packets internally.  
I know I don't need my router to dish out IP's dynamically.  My old and 
now dead 
hand made redhat based router  got its ip from DHCP but all the 
downstream boxes have static private
IP's that I made up for them. I figured I need the DHCP client not the 
server. My
mistake not pruning it off the floppy. I hope it comes in its own .lrp!!

If you already have address assignments on your LAN, you don't need your
LEAF router to dish them out (so you can either ignore this error or fix
it by deleting the package from the load list). 

If you need to use DHCP to get your *external* address assigned by your ISP,
you need to run dhclient (the client), -NOT- dhcpd (the server).

Any other info you need to answer this I will give.  I don't even know 
what's important
and what's not.  You guys do, so ask me the questions.   

It also says that eth0 will be the first PCI slot and eth1 will be the 
second. That's top to bottom, skips irrelevent, yes?  Just covering that 
base--this is the first time I've allowed myself the luxury of 2 PCI NICS 
in the same box, all the old ones have had at least one ISA. 

It *should* work that way. In practice, I never count on it.

I use a netgear FA311 NIC in another router i built, the driver for it is 
natsemi.o which is not in the modules directory in the EigerStein distro 
I have.  Should I just put this module in as well? 

Not if the router works now (that is, if the interfaces are recognized, can
be assigned IP addresses, and support pings). Netgear and Linux modules have
been moving targets.

I wouldn't say it exactly works.  From what I could tell the internal 
interface
may have been working somewhat because I could ping internally on it.  It 
was unclear just exactly what was working before I knew 
how to do the equivalents of ifconfig and route -n
Seemed like the DHCP stuff didn't work (ergo nothing meaningful off of 
eth0) but that is probably dhcp and not
the modules since the both use the same one.   
and if I do should I 
recomment 8390?   For those dependency things I'm beginning to see via 
inductive reasoning that the dependency is implied by the order in which 
they are listed?  

Right, I think. If module A depends on module B, then B has to be loaded
(that is, listed in /etc/modules.conf) ahead of A. 

Thanks you guys on this list are great.  I want to see a linux router for 
every home LAN by the end of 2002.  

Go team!

 and wasn't sure what all was in it.

I don't think Oxygen is any harder than Red Hat, say, and it certainly
has a lot more documentation in the configuration files.

As for what is in it it has a lot more than Dachstein, but then
it's more of a general distribution than Dachstein is.

RE: [Leaf-user] Dachstein-CD V1.0.2 Available

2001-12-24 Thread Tony

[snip]

 
 The /dev/cdrom symlink is created in the /linuxrc script, but 
 the actual code to do this is in /var/lib/lrpkg/root.dev.mk


Found it, thanks!

 
 This should be part of the root.lrp package, which is part of 
 the bootable floppy disk image embedded on the CD-ROM (or on your boot 
 floppy, if you're not booting directly from the CD).

Ok, next question.  I update and backup my root.lrp to floppy.  When I reboot, it does 
not read my root.lrp from the floppy, all my settings (i.e. my .ssh directory in 
/root) is missing.  So, what the heck am I missing?  I don't have to use that root.lrp 
to burn a new cd in order to use the it, do I?  

I know I must be missing something simple.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Tony

As far as I know, no settings are stored in the root.lrp package

The /root directory belongs to the local.lrp package

what other settings don't get saved ??
