[leaf-user] PoPToP server Configuration on Bering

2002-08-12 Thread Rogan Lynch

Hello All,

I have read the shorewall documentation (Thanks Tom), installed all the 
modules, packages etc to get poptop working except I need to know about
the OS's etc/network/interfaces file. Presumably every client ( I really 
only expect 1) needs its own interface definition e.g. ppp[0-x]. Especially 
if shorewall is to distinguish between clients (which may be unecessary).

None of the PPTP docs I read, said anything about modifying this file. 
Certainly at least one entry is needed but how I formulate it seems 
mysterious to me.

Any help in this regard would be most appreciated.

As you guessed, Mike, this is fixed (only) in Mailman 2.1.  Here's the
response to my bug report:

This won't be changed for MM2.0.x but it already works this
way in Mailman 2.1.  The original message is contained in
the rejection notice as an attachment.

No doubt the SourceForge staff will move to 2.1 once it's stable.

Rather than reading and writing the entire floppy after each change, it
takes less time to simply keep a duplicate floppy (or pair of floppies, for
dual-floppy configs), and make each lrcfg package backup to both the main
and backup floppies, one after another.

I've done about 20 CF disks with syslinux 1.66 (as have other people

version.

Yep, setting up a non-*nix based OS to boot from a non-primary partition
is asking for frustration!

The 25Meg partition limit with the DOS fs is a commonly forgotten
limitation when using larger disks.

RE: [leaf-user] Bering cd without shorewall

2002-08-12 Thread S Mohan

Hi Abjin:

I agree with Cass. I did learn ipchains and iptables the hard way. It
gave me a good understanding of how ip filtering takes place. However,
at the end of the day, I would have written a fw script generator if I
needed to maintain or implement the same stuff regularly. While I feel a
it is better to know what is happenning below the surface in order to
debug in case something goes wrong, using tools that make the job easier
is a good route especially for opensource. More users will mean more
requests and hence better maturity of the tool. Furthermore, this will
allow you to leverage on the learnings that others have garnered.

If this sounded like preaching, forgive me - I feel great being part of
the opensource community as a user - I'm not a developer.

I suppose you can take out "shorwall" (note no "e") from the LRP=... in
the syslinux.cfg file and then create your own package with your own
scripts.  But I'd have to ask why?  Shorewall is one of the best
features of Bering.  It really does make iptables easy, easy enough for
this newbie to understand ;).

pn] Sure enough, the diskette has problems.  I created a new one via

Yes, but you are on your own.  Shorewall provides the iptables/nat support
in Bering.

You will need to build your own package that includes an appropriate
startup script to replace the Shorewall functionality, something like the 
/etc/init.d/shorewall script.

I used the natsemi.o from Bering.  They posted a new driver (thanks, 
Jacques!) and everything's been fine since.

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/contrib/drivers/scyld/

 If that is your problem, you could recompile it yourself.  The

It depends...check the logs for driver messages, and look for a
low-level diagnostic utility for your NIC driver.  If you using Dan
Becker's NIC drivers, you can find several utility programs here:
http://www.scyld.com/diag/

You probably want mii-diag and vortex-diag...

NOTE:  This will tell you if you're half or full duplex ON YOUR END, but
not necessarily what you're attached to (the only info you'll get about
the far end is from auto-negotiation messages, if the far end supports
it, and even that could be mis-leading or wrong, since a lot of early
hardware didn't do auto-negotiation properly).  If your ISP's hardware
does not properly support auto-negotiation (highly likely, given your
description of the troubles you're having), you will have to find out
from them what you're hooked to, or make an educated guess by forcing
half and full duplex on your end, and seeing what sorts of errors crop
up.

Matt:

That's an interesting firewall log. Two quick questions
spring to mind:

1. The source-IP is 192.0.1.11, the dest is 192.0.1.7, but this
   is coming in on the eth0 interface of your firewall. So...
   how does your LEAF firewall connected to your WinXP box?
   I'm presuming that 192.0.1.11is the WinXP box, but I can't
   tell what LEAF's eth0 IP address is.

2. UDP port 1900 is Universal Plug&Pray (UPnP) not ssdp. The
   original releases of WinXP had a vulnerability with this
   service. But since the traffic is all local (192.0.1.x for
   both source and dest) I doubt it's an attack; it's probably
   just normal UPnP activity. Still, it'd help to know: which is
   your WinXP machine?

... I don't understand why you have to eliminate modules if diskspace is
not an issue.

Arguments to modify the behavior of drivers compiled into the kernel must
be passed through the boot loader.  I have found methods for loading
modules to be much more consistent and maintainable than the methods
available to compiled-in drivers. But, I have not used FDDI, so specific
driver characteristics could override this general observation.

Don't be so quick to state that there's nothing broken.  Just because
traffic is flowing doesn't mean it flowing optimally.  If you have an
ethernet link with two ends mis-matched for duplex, everything will
appear to work fine (you'll just get the annoying errors in your logs,
along with TX and/or RX errors, and high numbers for collisions) until
you start pushing the bandwidth limit of the link, at which point things
can rapidly degenerate to where you're available bandwidth is getting
eaten-up by re-transmissions (kind of an ethernet duplex equivalent of a
 broadcast storm).

I had a similar problem when hooking up to a Cogent 100MBit ethernet
drop.  The switches used by Cogent didn't auto-negotiate properly, so my
firewall NIC was stuck in half duplex, while the Cogent end was running
full duplex.  To fix the problem (and it *IS* a problem), I had to
download/compile one of the utilities from the sycld site (I run Dan
Becker's Tulip drivers on most of my Dachstein boxes), and use it to
force the link to 100 MBit full duplex.  Once I did this, everything was
peachy...no more TX/RX errors or collisions, and no more weird log
messages.

You may be having a similar problem, in which case I urge you to
actually fix it, rather than simply ignore or disable the error
messages.Find out what you're hooked to on the ISP end...at least to
the level of 10/100 MBit, full/half duplex.  Compare this to the link
status on your end, and force your end to match, if required.
Auto-negotiation is wonderful when everything works, but if you're
hooked to something that doesn't support auto-negotiation (like a lot of
the fixed speed/duplex switches used by ISP's, where shaving every buck
off equipment cost matters), it's frequently necessary to bypass
auto-negotiation and "peg" a specific set of operating parameters, so
don't just ignore those error warnings.

Your network will thank you every time it's carrying a heavy traffic
load. :-)

Re: [leaf-user] Windows XP attacking my firewall?

2002-08-12 Thread Scott C. Best

Matt:

That's an interesting firewall log. Two quick questions
spring to mind:

1. The source-IP is 192.0.1.11, the dest is 192.0.1.7, but this
   is coming in on the eth0 interface of your firewall. So...
   how does your LEAF firewall connected to your WinXP box?
   I'm presuming that 192.0.1.11is the WinXP box, but I can't
   tell what LEAF's eth0 IP address is.

2. UDP port 1900 is Universal Plug&Pray (UPnP) not ssdp. The
   original releases of WinXP had a vulnerability with this
   service. But since the traffic is all local (192.0.1.x for
   both source and dest) I doubt it's an attack; it's probably
   just normal UPnP activity. Still, it'd help to know: which is
   your WinXP machine?

I have one cable, leading to the ISP. Swapping the cable helps not. 

Look at the docs:

[leaf-user] PPPoE in WISP

2002-08-12 Thread Armend Zeqiraj

Hi,

Has anyone configured PPPoE in WISP the Server and the Client, i have found
that the WISP distribution does not include PPPoE although it says so, maybe
I am wrong. I have been trying to put packages on it but it seems i did not
find appropriate ones.
Most anyoing thing is that you have info on all other LEAF distributions
only WISP is somwhat set aside as appears like GHOST package in LEAF family,
since it has joined the family.

I wanted to put some other extra packages in the distribution such as BASH,
FTP.

Also one more thing it says it supports the Cisco Aironet but it does
recognize it. Still havent tried the Prism Cards.

Best regards

Armend Zeqiraj,

This is UPNP -- you must have an old version of Shorewall as later
versions had an entry for this in the common.def file. You can kill these
by creating /etc/shorewall/common (if that file isn't there already) and
add the following to it:

Or upgrade your Shorewall.

For Shorewall:

In /etc/shorewall/masq, you'll need three entries -- one for each subnet 
(Shorewall can only detect a single subnet). Assuming that your external 
interface is eth0:

eth0192.168.1.0/24
eth0192.168.2.0/24
eth0192.168.3.0/24

In /etc/shorewall/interfaces (assuming your internal interface is eth1):

loc eth1192.168.1.255,192.168.2.255,192.168.3.255

The latter just causes Shorewall to drop the broadcasts from all three 
subnets rather than logging them.

This is UPNP -- you must have an old version of Shorewall as later 
versions had an entry for this in the common.def file. You can kill these 
by creating /etc/shorewall/common (if that file isn't there already) and

[leaf-user] [ leaf-Support Requests-594097 ] Dachstein will not start on 486/100.....

2002-08-12 Thread noreply

Support Requests item #594097, was opened at 2002-08-12 15:57
You can respond by visiting: 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=213751&aid=594097&group_id=13751

Category: Release/Branch: Dachstein
Group: None
Status: Open
Priority: 5
Submitted By: Dion Bird (dionb98)
Assigned to: Mike Noyes (mhnoyes)
Summary: Dachstein will not start on 486/100.

Initial Comment:
Dachstein will not start on my 486 DX4/100 with 32MB 
of RAM.  Here is a summary of the boot process before 
it locks up.

 IP Filters: [IP Forwarding: DISABLED] flushed

SIOCGIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device

Bind socket to interface: Operation not supported by 
device exiting

Starting Network: [IP Always Defrag: ENABLED]

   IP filters: firewall [IP Forwarding: ENABLED]

   Loopback interface: lo

   Starting interface: Cannot find device "eth1"

   SIOCGIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device 
eth1

 Hostname: firewall
   
 Static NS: 2 hosts

At this point the cursor just sits and flashes.

On my other systems the disk will boot completely, 
with the summary I have provided, same as what's 
written above.  (Including the operation not supported by 
device stuff)  Any insight on why it won't continue past 
this point on the 486?

As I said before it is a 486 DX4/100 with 32MB RAM.  I 
have stripped it down to just the PCI video card and the 
PCI NIC card.  I've tried booting it with no NIC card, and 
1 card and 2 cards.  If I boot the system under Windows 
98, it will detect the network cards so they appear to be 
functioning.

RE: [leaf-user] Annoying duplex errors

Well... you could also try using another NIC driver for your board.

I guess that the 'vortex' series loosely identifies a 3Com card.

There are a large number of cards that work with that driver. I also
recall that Donald Becker wrote drivers for those cards.

Try other drivers and if all still goes wrong, you could also try
another NIC...

OK, when you say "OUR sendmail queue", is that the machine behind the
Dachstein firewall, or are you running a large network where "OUR
sendmail queue" is a corperate-wide mail reciever, which re-directs mail
to multiple secondary MTA's?  Assuming the former, mail *IS* actually
getting to your system, but sendmail is apparently not correctly
configured to recognize the addresses as being local.  Instead, it
sounds like sendmail is trying to relay your messages to what it thinks
is their correct final destination, which is your firewall address
(which you presumably have listed in an MX record for your domain).
Connecting to a port-forwarded service via it's external IP from within
the internal network, which is what your sendmail system is trying to do
(ie it's trying to talk to itself, via the port-forwarding setup on the
firewall) won't work (at least not without some packet routing
gymnastics :-), so as far as sendmail is concerned, it can't talk to the
"authoritative" MTA, and even if it could, you'd just wind up with a
mail loop.

You need to check your sendmail configuration, and try running some
tests on the e-mail addresses you're using to send mail.  I strongly
suspect you'll find an error in the sendmail setup that's causing
addresses to not be treated as local.  You'll have to dig through the
sendmail docs for the test procedures (or maybe a kind soul on list will
have helpful info)...I'm more familiar with exim and qmail...haven't
done any hands-on configuration of sendmail for 2-3 years (and I have
yet to unpack my O'Reilly "bat" book from a recent move :-)

RE: SMTP problem (was: [leaf-user] (no subject))

2002-08-12 Thread Ray Olszewski

Thanks for responding. I'm afraid, though, that your response leaves 
unanswered many of the questions I asked. See below.

At 08:48 AM 8/12/02 -0400, Craig Heil wrote:
>We are running Linux version 2.2.19-3-LEAF with the default firewalling.

This statement does not identify the LEAF version. LEAF versions have names 
like Dachstein, Oxygen, and Bering. Which are you using, and is it a floppy 
or a CD-based version?

>The

I assume you mean here that you can send mail out through your on-LAN 
server from workstations on the LAN. Please correct me if this 
interpretation is wrong.

>We are able to send
>mail out to external mailers (Yahoo, AOL), We can send mail from user to
>user inside the network.

And just to be clear ... the mail server is a different host from the LEAF 
firewall, right? What Linux distro does it run, what kernel version, and 
what MTA?

>However, when sending TO the internal network the
>mail gets to the sendmail mail queue then gets deferred due to the
>mailserver's inability to contact the sending MTA.

Once again, I must ask: do you mean the sendmail queue on the on-LAN 
server? If so, this description is very puzzling. In order for the complete 
message to reach the on-LAN server, it has to make several responses to the 
sending MTA (responding to the HELO, RCPT, and MAIL messages) before the 
actual piece of e-mail (the DATA message) is sent. So we need a better 
explanation of the problem than "gets deferred due to the mailserver's 
inability to contact the sending MTA".

Of course, you might mean something else. If so, please explain it more 
clearly.

Also, if I have interpreted this correctly ... what is sendmail *supposed* 
to do with these messages? Deliver them to on-server accounts (to be read 
using POP3, IMAP, or shell logins)? Send them on to the workstations (how 
... what MTAs are the workstations running)? Do the messages coming from 
outside have To: FQNs (I mean the part after the @) that are the same as 
the ones used on messages that originate internally? How does the server 
resolve names (since you mention needing to add its name to the hosts files 
on workstations, it sounds like you are not running on-LAN DNS)?

I ask all this stuff because when mail is stuck in the sendmail queue, that 
usually indicates a problem contacting the *destination* MTA, not the 
*source* MTA.

To be sure that the problem is with the *sending* MTA, as you write: from 
off-LAN, if you telnet to port 25 and send a message using the various smtp 
commands manually, at what point does the interchange fail?

>The openings in the firewall for smtp are:
>EXTERN_SMTP_PORTS = "0/0_ntp 0/0_smtp"
>and
>INTERN_SMTP_SERVER = 10.0.0.XXX

This no doubt relates to whichever LEAF version you are running, but 
without knowing which version that is, I cannot really comment on it. A 
couple of quick comments, though --

1. Listing the ntp port as an external smtp port seems odd, no matter what 
version you are using.

2. The INTERN_SMTP_SERVER needs a complete IP address, not "10.0.0.XXX". (I 
assume you are not being silly enough to think that you need to protect 
yourself by keeping a *private-range* IP address secret from us.)

Here we would benefit from seeing the actual firewall ruleset, not just a 
couple of config-file lines. Next time, post the unedited output of 
"ipchains -nvL" if you want actual troubleshooting help with respect to the 
ruleset you have installed.

I don't understand this last part. If all mail is coming from 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", how are you doing off-LAN tests? If you 
are spoofing the source when doing off-LAN tests, then is it possible that 
you are hitting your MTA's anti-relaying or anti-SPAM rules rather than 
having a LEAF-related problem? If so, you need to get advice from a support 
list for your MTA, not from LEAF.

This is still somewhat confusing.  The e-mail gets to the sendmail queue
on *WHICH* machine...the remote sender or the local reciever?  Your
description above makes it sound like your local mailserver cannot
connect to the remote system which is trying to send mail, which doesn't
make much sense to me.  Please provide more details about exactly how
you're trying to send mail, and any non-standard checks you're doing on
your local mail-server (ie: ident check, SMTP verify to validate sender
e-mail address, etc).  Remember, all we know about your setup is what's
in your e-mail...

> The openings in the firewall for smtp are:
> EXTERN_SMTP_PORTS = "0/0_ntp 0/0_smtp"

This is very confusing.  Looks like you're using one of my Dachstein
releases, based on the kernel version, but the above configuration
variable does not exist in the Dachstein firewall scripts.  Even worse,
I can't tell it was a simple typo, since you're mixing UDP and TCP
protocols on the same line.  If I'm reading between the lines properly,
you need something like:

EXTERN_UDP_PORTS="0/0_ntp"
EXTERN_TCP_PORTS="0/0_smtp"

I'm through. Problem was with Win 98 dos disk. I tried dos 6.22 boot
disk and all went thro' fine. PC ATA as primary master - installed dos
and booted with dos. PC ATA installed as secondary master - installed
dos and booted with dos. Then I tried dos version of syslinux on PC ATA
primary master, booted with floppy and xfrd all files to hda1, modified
syslinux.cfg. Had a problem in booting - system was asking for floppy0
and gave kernel panic. Figured it has something to do with disk not
being recognised. Included ide-mod, ide-disk and ide-probe in
/boot/etc/modules, copied the files to /boot/lib/modules directory and
backed up the packages to hda1.

I was home. Thanx a ton to all those who helped me out. The pointer of
using MSDOS 6.22 was very useful. Thankfully I did not have to go thro'
a compile of syslinux on RH and then do a system xfr.

I had the same "unable to lock drive for exclusive access." error
message when I tried using the dos version of syslinux.  It worked great
with the linux version.  I first tried using the syslinux binary from my
RH box but that didn't work with either Bering or Tom's Root Boot
floppies.  What I wound up doing is downloading the source for syslinux
to my full linux box and compiling it statically linked.  IIRC, I think
I just added a -static as a compiler option in the Makefile.

> Any pointers? Is it that I'm up the wrong alley and ATA Flash disks

Also for booting dos, have you tried fdisk /mbr before the sys c: ?
Other than that... I don't know if it'll make a difference but maybe try
it as primary master?

Hope this helps.

I guess you can grab the current Bering config file from

Download the corresponding kernel version, 2.4.18, add or remove whatever

We are running Linux version 2.2.19-3-LEAF with the default firewalling. The
LAN is using NAT. We are able to send mail to the server by adding the
server name to the hosts file on the network machines. We are able to send
mail out to external mailers (Yahoo, AOL), We can send mail from user to
user inside the network. However, when sending TO the internal network the
mail gets to the sendmail mail queue then gets deferred due to the
mailserver's inability to contact the sending MTA.
The openings in the firewall for smtp are:
EXTERN_SMTP_PORTS = "0/0_ntp 0/0_smtp"
and
INTERN_SMTP_SERVER = 10.0.0.XXX

As far as the ISP, that is not the case for us. We can run anything on our

First, what version of LEAF are you using?

Second, are you using its default firewalling or one of the drop-in
firewall options? And am I correct in assuming that your LAN is NAT'd?

Third, you say you "have opened up the SMTP port everywhere in the
firewall" but that your internal SMTP server is failing because "it cannot
talk back through the firewall". Given the error message you quote, the
reasonable inference is that the second of your two statements is correct,
which suggests that the first is wrong. So ... *how* did you open the SMTP
port?

Fourth, might your ISP be the actual culprit here? I've heard of (but not
actually seen) ISPs that block incoming traffic to port 25 at their
customers' IP addresses, in order to force the customers to use the ISP's
mail servers as (POP3 or IMAP) relays.

Finally, could you take another shot at explaining the circumstances under
which the SMTP server fails to deliver? I read what you wrote to mean that
if somebody tries to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where
yourdomaim.com resolves to the IP address of your firewall, then the
message gets stuck in the MTA (e.g., sendmail) queue of the sending machine
(or whatever it uses as a relay for outgoing mail). That is, the "sendmail"
you refer to is -NOT- the MTA you are running on your mail server. But that
interpretation involves a lot of reading between the lines, so your
confirming or correcting it would be worth while.

Re: [leaf-user] Bering 1.0rc3 - RoadRunnerCable, connection suddenly fails

2002-08-12 Thread lbilyeu

Note: Harry Kitt's message & his problem
"driver appeared to work, but would randomly drop the connection.
Probably not recompiled for the Bering's kernel/compiler."
---was because he used drivers from his Dachstein disk.

I've tried editing shorewall to use each of them as the external 
interface to make sure it wasn't a card specific problem.
Firewall's internal eth always works, I can always ping the numerical 
address of the firewall from internal machines. And I can always reach 
weblet.
---They all passed the diagnostics from RealTek   rtl8019.exe   when 
booted from a DOS floppy.
---They are all set to jumpered mode (not PNP) and physically set the 
jumpers.

quoting guitarLynn  "What exact model/make card are you using a lot 
of "compatible"
cards aren't even compatible at all. "
--Each of them has the Novell YES logo silk-screened onto the NIC's 
board.

"you will also need
to load the "mii" module as well."
---These are ISA rtl8019 cards. I've never heard of needing mii.o
---Is it something new?

As to what make & Model,
--- one of them is a Farallon 8019,
the other two weren't proud enough to put their names on the board.
I assume they were relying on the NovellYES logo.

I'll pull the machine apart & get more identifiers from the cards later 
tonight.

RE: [leaf-user] Flash disk problem

2002-08-12 Thread Luis.F.Correia

Hi!

I had the very same problem.

You must boot from MSDOS6.x.

Then use syslinux with '-s' flag.

I even had to use syslinux 2.00-pre6 because my CF refused to boot with
other older versions of syslinux.

One other thing, try to use the device as primary master. It works a LOT
better.

Subject: [leaf-user] Flash disk problem


I'm trying to load bering on a PC ATA Flash card. I've a Adtron drive
and a Sandisk 8MB card. It is getting recognised as a drive and I'm able
to fdisk and format the drive. It is secondary master. I'm able to mount
it as /dev/hdc1 in bering too. However, I'm not able to boot! I
initially tried syslinux and it gave an error :unable to lock drive for
exclusive access. I did a lock c: and then tried syslinux. Same error. I
then booted up the system with a Win98 DOS floppy, did a sys c: and
copied the floppy contents to the flash card. It did not boot up in DOS
too. Sys did not give an error unlike syslinux.

Any pointers? Is it that I'm up the wrong alley and ATA Flash disks are
not bootable?

Mohan

Yes, just follow procedures for manual partitioning and
installation as documented on the LEAF website's WISP-Dist
section.
