Kim:
Good point. If there was a machine on the LAN that was
trying to ping (or otherwise connect with) 0.0.0.0, it could
generate this sort of response. But...hmmm...would the destination
unreachable reply be said to come *from* 0.0.0.0? I would think
it would be from my ISP's routers. Or, possibly, these ICMP
messages always come from a broadcast address, where the source
IP is the address that's unreachable (eg, 80.135.217.223). I
should Google for how these ICMP messages are put together, and
update fwlog.pl accordingly.

  PS: These are some strange logs you're seeing. :) I believe
  they're getting logged because of the 0.0.0.0 return

  address was historically used for broadcasts, but is now
  much more likely a sign of trouble. A lot of firewall

  PPS: The message that it's sending in this log is an ICMP

   that your LEAF box is on a cable-modem environment,
   and someone in your neighborhood is experiment with a
   rather sloppy and noisy DOS attack. You may want to
   send this logfile to your ISP's abuse email.

[leaf-user] Bering rc3 and Wireless

2002-07-09 Thread Tobias Hemmauer

Hello

I have a Problem with Bering RC3 and Wirless Card D-Link DWL-650 in an 
Rico PCMCIA/PCI-Adapter.

PCMCIA Adapter is working fine. Also the Card.
When i load the orinoco.o drivers.

Then i tried the hostap_cs.o drivers and it says me that the CardServices 
have the wrong version (Need this driver for Briging and AP).
I downloaded all the drivers form the Bering Homepage at LEAF.
I tried all i can, but nothing worked.

Btw: Im not so good in Linux.

Hope you can understand my poor english and help me ;-)

[leaf-user] IPSEC Howto for LRP

2002-07-09 Thread Craig

Hi Matt,
It's not the source you requested, but I've found what I think is a
pretty well described and simple to follow explanation of IPSEC using
the FreeS/WAN project in a book called Red Hat Linux Security and
Optimization
by Mohammed J. Kabir. He describes setting up the road warrior scenario,
etc., and I thought it was pretty easy to follow (and I'm fairly new to
Linux!). Hope that helps.

Cheers!

It's the root package, but you can't backup root (and make it stick)

# start of HowTo ###

# Basic IPSec VPN HowTo  ##
By Lynn Avants

Virtual Private Networking (aka VPN) is very popular for low-cost 
connections
between remote offices, employees that need a connection to the company 
LAN from home,
and mobile users that need to access a private LAN while on the run. 
This document
covers several different connection types that are commonly used with a 
LEAF
firewall or router running the IPSec VPN program. IPSec is known to 
integrate with Windows
2000 VPN, Cisco VPN, UNIX IPSec, the SSH Sentinal, and many other 
commercial VPN
solutions. Hopefully this will answer many questions regarding VPN 
setup and use.

2) Connection Types

3) Firewall Considerations

4) Firewall Pass-Through

5) Host to Host Connections

6) Host to Subnet Connections

7) Subnet to Subnet Connections

8) Gateway to Gateway Connections

9) /etc/ipsec.conf

10) /etc/ipsec.secrets

11) Bringing up the Connection

12) Troubleshooting

13) Links




1) GENERAL INFORMATION

IPSec is an OpenSource program for VPN connections that has been 
packaged
for LEAF use. This document is based off of my custom Dachstein-IPSec 
enabled 
floppy image, but is totally compliant to the Dachstein CDROM release 
and is 
configurable to any LEAF or Linux system using IPSec. 

I will describe using Preshared Secret Keys (PSK) and RSA Key 
authentication 
within the scope of this document. 509 certificates may be used with 
IPSec, 
but additional licensing may be needed to create the certificates. 
Certificate 
type authentication is described thoroughly in other documents, and 
explained
better by someone that has more experience than myself.

A Pre-shared Secret Key (PSK) is a secret alpha-numeric key that is 
created by the
person setting up the IPSec configuration. This secret password is 
the exactly the 
same on all the computers authenticating the connection and 
case-sensitive.

A RSA Key is an authentication method that uses a program to generate 
a set of 
authentication keys. This program is built into IPSec. Each computer 
should generate 
its own set of keys. The private key is kept secret by the computer 
that generated it, 
and the public key is copied to the remote computer(s) for use to 
authenticate the connection. 
A basic way of describing this is accessing a safe-deposit box at a 
post office or bank. The 
post office or bank keeps one key and the person renting the box keeps 
a different key. To 
gain access to the box, both keys must be used to open the door. RSA is 
an electronic 
equivalent of this. This authentication method is also used with other 
programs, 
such as ssh and cvs. This is the suggested method for 
authentication.

There are several different encryption alogarthims that can be used for 
closed source
versions of IPSec, however the strongest one available for the open 
source version of
IPSec at this time is the 3DES alogarthim. This is the only one that 
I suggest using.


Required packages for connections (other than Firewall-Pass-Through):

an IPSec-patched kernel for your distribution/version
ipsec.lrp
ifconfig.lrp
mawk.lrp
ipsec509.lrp (if using 509 authentication certificates instead of PSK 
or RSA Keys)



2) CONNECTION TYPES

Firewall-pass-through: This connection is for an individual computer 
behind a 
firewall to make a connection to a remote computer or network. The 
firewall that is protecting the individual computer does not 
participate in the 
VPN connection or authenticate it, but rather allows the connection 
through 
the firewall. A home connection that is protected to an company network 
is an 
example of this type of connection.

Host to Subnet: This connection is for a single computer to connect to 
a remote 
network. This is typically known as the Road Warrior connection and 
the remote 
computer is not behind a firewall. The ip address that the remote 
computer will 
be

You don't mention if you have wireutil.lrp on your system.  You probably

I'm going to guess that the card isn't coming up during boot properly at

It has an ethernet iface.  I am assuming I will just use DHCP to get an

[leaf-user] bering, pcmcia, wireless, and bridge

2002-07-09 Thread Mark A Nordstrand

Using rc3, I've managed to get pcmcia and wireless to
work.  However bridge is another matter.  I suspect
part of my problem is my near lack of experience with
debian.

I've looked into it a little bit, and /etc/init.d/networking
issues:

br_add_bridge: Packge not installed

after ifup -a.  I also believe some of the variables
are not set for the bridge scripts in /etc/networking

Can anyone offer some pointers?

[leaf-user] DFE-570-TX Too much work during interrupt

2002-07-09 Thread Troy Aden

I am running dhrelay. So it is getting hit with quite a few lease requests
being forwarded to our DHCP servers. About once a week when our leases get
renewed I get the following error. Eth1 : Too much work during interrupt.
Csr5=0xF0630040. (This is the interface where our DHCP server resides)  I
am assuming that this is because the nic is being flooded on port 67 between
its' ports and it is dropping packets as a result. So far I have updated to
the most recent tulip driver (v0.93), and I have applied the following fix:
echo 500 1000 2000  /proc/sys/vm/freepages
(Check link for details)
http://www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-tulip/2001-Nov/0053.html

This seemed to work but the problem has returned. Does anyone have any
suggestions?  Is there a way that I can increase the maximum work during the
interrupt? Is there a driver for this card that works properly? Can someone
point me to a link that will be helpful? 


Thanks in advance.

Troy

don't connect. UNLESS you unplug the cable modem for a 
few min. so it will forget the MAC address.  Then 
everything goes fine.
 Thanks, that is good news.  Now to de-volve my Dachstein/floppy from 
 pppoe over DSL to straight ethernet... maniacal cackle.

 I have the same modem and I use the Dachstein CD, and it works

 just ran my CAT5 from the modem to the box, box to a hub, plugged my
 computers on the LAN into the hub...and away I went. You'll like it!

Re: [leaf-user] DFE-570-TX Too much work during interrupt

Re: [leaf-user] attempt to access beyond end of device

 everything works fine (portforwarding, dhcpd, nat, etc, etc), but my

 are filling up with these three lines over and over again (that and
 dhrequest messages, but that's from the cable modem and not really a
 problem).  has anyone seen these before or does anyone know what they
mean?
 tia

I haven't seen this exact error, but it sounds like you may have gotten
your system confused about floppy disk size (ie 1440K vs 1680K or
similar).  Did you do something like migrate a 1680K image to a 1440K
disk?  Do the floppy format and boot= settings in syslinux.cfg (also in
/proc/cmdline) match?

Re: [leaf-user] bering, pcmcia, wireless, and bridge

2002-07-09 Thread Mark A Nordstrand

Manfred,

Loaded bridge.lrp and bridge.o wasn't anywhere to be 
found. Grabbed bridge.o from the web and put it in 
/lib/modules.  This solved the br_add_bridge message.

Looking at the scripts in /etc/networking, it looks
like there's several variable which aren't initialized
(IF_BRIDGE_PORTS for example).  Should I be doing this
as part of configuration, or should this be pick up out 
of /etc/network/interfaces?  (sorry if I'm a bit weak on
information, shell scripts have never been my forte).

Hi folks,
As I indicated from an earlier port, I'm trying to learn about nslookup.
It doesn't work at all from my Dachstein firewall, so I decided to try
nslookup, and its various command line options, from a computer on my

does work. My message(s) I get are below. Any comments, suggestions,
etc.,etc.

[leaf-user] daemon vs. savelog ???

2002-07-09 Thread Michael D. Schleif


I have a compiled application that runs find under dcd.

This app spews data on STDOUT while running.  I want to run this app as
a daemon (continuously running in background) and I want to save the
stdout data to a logfile.  In fact, I am doing this now and everything
is OK:

$DAEMON $LOG 21 

Except, when _savelog_ rotates the logfile, the application writes to
the first archive, rather than the file with original logfile label:

-rw-r- 1 root adm 0 Jul 9 05:07 logfile
-rw-r- 1 root adm 17943 Jul 9 14:17 logfile.0

After savelog rotates the logfile, $DAEMON is writing to logfile.0,
instead of logfile.  Obviously, this is not acceptable ;

I assume that this has something to do with the original redirected
output keeping logfile open, even during the rename to logfile.0 -- is
there a workaround?

What do you think?

[leaf-user] Newbie questions (I know, I know)

2002-07-09 Thread Harold Miller

I'm new to the whole LEAF / LRP arena, but an old programmer. Started my
first ISP with a single Linux/486DX4-100 box a while ago, sold it, and now
have a dozen machines running at my home/office. I have a few questions. I
read what documentation I could find, but most of the sites appear to be
down/moved (c0wz, etc).

My hardware is an older 486-dx4100, with 4 NETGEAR FA311 PCI cards, 2X
210Meg IDE drives (in case), generic ISA video, serial / parallel. 64Meg RAM

I have ISDN with fixed IP's running through an old Firewall box, feeding a
DMZ with 2 servers and a subnet of masqueraded windoze boxes. The new LEAF
box will replace that older Firewall, and allow me to switch to a Cable
modem. I hope to get the new one operational, and move things over a bit at
a time before axeing the old box. Thats why I have 4 ehternet cards
(eth0=CABLE, eth1=ISDN, eth2=DMZ, eth3=MASQ)

I will have 5 fixed IP's on the CABLE connection when I get it all done.
(GW/eth0, DMZ/eth2, 3Xservers in DMZ)

I have D/L'd several versions of the project, most recently Dachstein
V1.0.2.

1) Which version should I be playing with? Security is my main concern..

2) The Ethernet cards came with a fa31x.o file, but it generates lots of
errors when included in the module area. Tulip.o seems to generate less
errors, but still a few. Which module should I be using?

3) Where do I get ipcfg, route, and the other required tools to troubleshoot
this whole process? I don't believe LINUX is seeing any of the cards. dmesg
lists the tulip module banner as the last line in the startup process.

4)Will I have to create yet another machine just to compile kernels if I
want to use the IDE drives, and the network cards?

Thanks for the boost. Once the basics are running, the firewall, etc should
be a straight forward port from the existing linux box. (ipchains)

If ya wanna flame me, please do it off-line at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and not
on the list...Suggestions can be sent to the same address.

  Hi, I'm having some trouble making a wireless gateway or router, and
 need some help.
  when I ping to 192.168.0.2(my second pc), Bering puts this message
 repeatedly
  eth1:Tx timeout! Resetting card
 
  what it means and what should i do?
 
  Thanks
 
  ah, my setup is as follows..
 
  hardware
  eth0 -- realtek 8139 pci
  eth1 -- lucent orinoco 11mbit 802.11b card in a ricoh rl5c475
 pci-pcmcia adapter.
 
  software
  bering 1.0 rc2 + pcmcia.lrp,wireless.lrp,libm.lrp
 

You don't mention if you have wireutil.lrp on your system.  You probably
should.  Also, some choice extracts from your logs would be helpful.
I'm going to guess that the card isn't coming up during boot properly at
all.

Brock



As you say, I added wireutil.lrp on my system. But nothing changed.

In redhat7.3, same error message is occured, but it is doing well as a gateway.
ping and masquerading is ok.
error messages are eth1:Tx error status 4(FID=01E2) at boot time, and eth1:
Tx error status 1(FID=017E), eth1:Tx error status 1(FID=0xxx) at ping time 
continually.

my logs in /var/log/ is changed.

Re: [leaf-user] bering, pcmcia, wireless, and bridge

2002-07-09 Thread Mark A Nordstrand

Manfred,

Have the eth entries commented out and the bridge
entry uncommented in /etc/network/interfaces.  My 
poking around in if-pre-up.d/bridge has
/proc/net/dev empty (or with out any eth entries).
As a guess, this is because pcmcia either hasn't
run or isn't finished.  My gut tells me this is
the root of the problem.  Further poking around
confirms this as I see the bridge scripts exiting
before hearing the beeps (and messages) from pcmcia.

Manfred Schuler wrote:
 
 Mark,
 
 bridge configuration is done in /etc/network/interfaces.
 At the end of the file is an example bridge configuration
 In the bridge_ports line you list the devices you want to
 bridge, normally your internal interfaces.
 These devices must not be configured, so comment out the
 respective lines.
 Backup etc.
 
 In the file /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge
 
 the line
   brctl addif $IFACE $i  ip set dev $i up
 should read
   brctl addif $IFACE $i  ip link set dev $i up
 
 Change this and backup bridge.

Hi Harold!
I don't know answers to all of your questions, but I almost positive the
Netgear cards use the natsemi.o module. As far as which version...I know
Charles says he personally uses his Dachstein CD. I'm sure other people
will chime in, but I must admit it's nice booting from a CD because
you can have so many features incorporated into it.

(eth0=CABLE, eth1=ISDN, eth2=DMZ, eth3=MASQ)

I will have 5 fixed IP's on the CABLE connection when I get it all done.
(GW/eth0, DMZ/eth2, 3Xservers in DMZ)

I have D/L'd several versions of the project, most recently Dachstein
V1.0.2.

1) Which version should I be playing with? Security is my main concern..

There is no simple answer to this question. All the variant developers take 
security seriously. But all the variants still miss on security from time 
to time, needing to upgrade to deal with (for recent examples) security 
holes in ssh and bind. glibc-2.0.x is no longer maintained, so you should 
worry about the possibility of security holes in variants that use it.

2) The Ethernet cards came with a fa31x.o file, but it generates lots of
errors when included in the module area. Tulip.o seems to generate less
errors, but still a few. Which module should I be using?

It depends a bit on what the fa31x.o file was compiled for. You need a 
module that matches your kernel version.

At least some Netgear cards work with some versions of the tulip driver. 
Whether yours do or not ... well, it depends on what the errors are, right?

If you want meaningful advice here, you really need to tell us more about 
the cards, the modules, and what the error messages say.

3) Where do I get ipcfg, route, and the other required tools to troubleshoot
this whole process? I don't believe LINUX is seeing any of the cards. dmesg
lists the tulip module banner as the last line in the startup process.

What is ipcfg? If you mean ifconfig, either you use the ip command 
instead (ip link show, specifically) or you choose a variant that has an 
ifconfig.lrp dropin package (discussed on this list earlier today). For 
route, use either netstat to get information or ip to set things. 
What other tools do you consider to be required?

4)Will I have to create yet another machine just to compile kernels if I
want to use the IDE drives, and the network cards?

Well ... if you need to compile your own kernels, you will need a machine 
able to handle kernel source and the usual compilers. LEAF systems are 
focused on routing (or other special-purpose concerns), not this sort of 
general capability. But you should check more carefully at the Sourceforge 
site for kernels and packages that meet your particular needs (whatever 
they are). If you only want to use the IDE drives *after* boot/init, for 
example, you can add IDE support in as a module; it needs to be compiled in 
only if you are loading packages from there.

Thanks for the boost. Once the basics are running, the firewall, etc should
be a straight forward port from the existing linux box. (ipchains)

If ya wanna flame me, please do it off-line at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and not
on the list...Suggestions can be sent to the same address.

2002-07-09 Thread jim



Dnscache.lrp doesn't seem to work. Ive installed as per instructions on
site. Daemontls.lrp is installed too. I noticed there is no log files in

|   Subject: [leaf-user] eth1:Tx timeout! Resetting card..
|  
|   Hi, I'm having some trouble making a wireless gateway or router, and
|  need some help.
|   when I ping to 192.168.0.2(my second pc), Bering puts this message
|  repeatedly
|   eth1:Tx timeout! Resetting card
|  
|   what it means and what should i do?
|  
|   Thanks
|  
|   ah, my setup is as follows..
|  
|   hardware
|   eth0 -- realtek 8139 pci
|   eth1 -- lucent orinoco 11mbit 802.11b card in a ricoh rl5c475
|  pci-pcmcia adapter.
|  
|   software
|   bering 1.0 rc2 + pcmcia.lrp,wireless.lrp,libm.lrp
|  
| 
| You don't mention if you have wireutil.lrp on your system.  You probably
| should.  Also, some choice extracts from your logs would be helpful.
| I'm going to guess that the card isn't coming up during boot properly at
| all.
| 
| Brock
| 
| 
|
| As you say, I added wireutil.lrp on my system. But nothing changed.
|
| In redhat7.3, same error message is occured, but it is doing well as a
gateway.
| ping and masquerading is ok.
| error messages are eth1:Tx error status 4(FID=01E2) at boot time, and
eth1:
| Tx error status 1(FID=017E), eth1:Tx error status 1(FID=0xxx) at ping
time continually.
|
| my logs in /var/log/ is changed.
|
| syslog for example
|
| ## before i ping to 192.168.0.2

I almost replied to your first post, but decided I would wait
to see if someone with daemontools experience did first.  Is it
possible for you to (at least temporarily) remove daemontools?
It adds one more layer that can be misconfigured and cause
problems and dnscache should run fine without it.

If you can dump daemontools for now, here is the troubleshooting
procedure I recommend:

  1.  In /etc/dnscache/env, verify IP is set to your internal
  interface address.  192.168.20.254, IIRC.  Verify IPQUERY
  is broad enough to allow requests from your internal lan.
  The default of 192.168 should be fine.

  2.  svi dnscache start to make sure dnscache has been started

  3.  ps | grep dnscache to verify it's really running

  4.  cat /proc/net/udp and look for a line that starts
  53: FE14A8C0: to verify it's listening for UDP traffic
  on port 53 of 192.168.20.254 (assuming that's the correct
  address for internal interface)

  5. Test name resolution from the firewall using dnscache.
 Temporarily comment out all nameserver lines in
 /etc/resolv.conf and add one that reads

nameserver 192.168.20.254

Run tail -f /var/log/syslog  followed by ping www.google.com
or similar on the firewall (so there are fewer firewall rules to
worry about and see if www.google.com resolves.  If so, dnscache
is probably working fine make sure your shorewall rules permit
access from your internal hosts.  If not, was there any output
in /var/log/syslog that indicates shorewall is blocking requests
to the root name servers?  (I'm assuming you are using the default
resolving config rather than forwarding requests to your ISP's DNS
server(s)).

  6. If it were me and #1-5 didn't offer any insight, I would probably
 break out tcpdump.lrp and start watching packets on the internal
 interface (tcpdump -n -i eth1 port 53) to make sure DNS requests
 were being sent properly to dnscache.

Things get slightly trickier if you're running daemontools too
because, IIRC, they introduce additional configuration files to
limit access to the daemon, here dnscache.  The dnscache binary
probably won't be running (and show up in a ps) most of the time
either.

I would need to dig through /etc/init.d/dnscache and the daemontools
docs (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) to offer much more help, and
unfortunately I don't have enough time to do so at the moment.  I did
notice MULTI=0 in my (Bering RC2) version of /etc/init.d/dnscache
though.  It appears that disables logging, so you may want to
investigate more closely and try setting it to 1.

Hope that's enough to get you started.
