  I Create NFS Server on FreeBSD and Test with another computer to

Perhaps you should load the nfs.o module.

[leaf-user] ppp0 problem with PPPOE and FreeS/WAN

2002-11-20 Thread Christopher Barry
Hi all,
I've searched around on google, but info is scant on this. I'm running
on an ADSL link that uses PPPOE, and I cannot get FreeS/WAN to identify
my ppp0 for some reason. Could it be that I do not have ifconfig?

Here is what shows up when I start ipsec from /etc/init.d

ipsec_setup: Starting FreeS/WAN IPsec 1.97...
ipsec_setup: unable to determine address of `ppp0'

Any pointers would be fantastic!

Thanks all,
Christopher

Re: [leaf-user] Problem with Wisp Init!

Samuel Abreu wrote about Re: [leaf-user] Problem with Wisp Init!:

 Ok, i confused things, sorry!
 I have already working, one soekris board with 2 orinoco cards, with bridge, 
 that i change the parprouted line in the parpbridging startup script, to 3 
 lines:
 /sbin/parprouted $IFACES
 sleep 2
 /sbin/parprouted $IFACES
 
 In if.config:
 IFACES=netcs0 netcs1

Hmm...  That shouldn't be required. Anyway, the build is old.

 I try recently, do the bridge with the new version, with the 3 interfaces, 
 unsuccessfuly, but i didn't made many tests, it was 2am, and i let that 
 station without bridge!

Please, look at the logs and report what's going on. Or you can 
give me access to your board and I can check myself.

Also I got a 2-PCMCIA Soekris board yesterday, and I plan to do
some testing on it.

 One question about how arp bridge works, if i want to put one eth and one 
 netcs in bridge, in what interface i put the IP of the station, in the help, 
 say that the interfaces must have a IP, even a dummy address, but if a put a 
 dummy address in eth, will not the eth be the IP of station will 
 correspont???

It depends on what your Ethernet station uses as a default
gateway. If it uses the IP of the CPE itself as a default
gateway, then obviously IP on the eth0 should be from the same
subnet as the IP of the station; however I don't recommend doing
this.

You don't tell us which version of LEAF you are using. I suspect - since your output 
mention ipsec 1.97 - that you are using either Bering rc2 or rc3. If that is the case 
I would suggest you to switch to 1.0-stable since there was a problem with ipsec ppp 
connections in earlier releases of the Bering distro.

Hi. Thanks for answering. The PPPOE part is working fine - that's not
the problem. It's getting FreeS/WAN to _see_ the ppp0 interface I'm

Re: [leaf-user] QMail email gateway

2002-11-20 Thread Fabrice LABORIE

 I would like to use the qmail.lrp package for Bering in a
firewall/gateway
 capacity only to shuffle mail from my internal mail server out and
deliver
 external mail to the mail server.  I was wondering if the current package
 as-is is sufficient and what configuration changes might be needed?  Any
 help or point in the right direction would be appreciated.

 Or you could just wait a bit until Lince is released. We have found a
great
alternative for smtp without needing hard disk, if you have a real smtp
inside (your own) and outside (your isp).

smtp without disk?
hum ... what if your LEAF dies when the queue is not empty??
you end up loosing mail!

I believe there are 2 answers to the problem:
without disk:
* you should be able to add a  DNAT line in Shorewall to forward all traffic
from the Internet to
the FW:25 to your Mail server:25 inside the firewall ...  and configure
NATing to allow your Mailserver
to send mail out ( or to your ISP mail relay)

with disk:
* you can mount /dev/hdaX /var/qmail/queue in /etc/init.d/qmail start ( and
umount it in stop )
to keep your queue on disk.
The trick is to modify the /var/lib/lrp/qmail.list and qmail.exclude.list
in qmail.list replace var/qmail/queue/lock by  var/qmail/queue (you need to
create the mount point )
and add var/qmail/queue/* in exclude.list
when performing the installation the first time, you'll have to get all the
files  [ the one created dynamically
and the lock directory ] from /var/qmail/queue to the Hard Disk

of course you'll need a fs driver ( ext2/ext3?).

voila...

I think I didn't miss anything ?

Re: [leaf-user] QMail email gateway

2002-11-20 Thread Jaime Nebrera Herrera
  Hi there:

 smtp without disk?

  Yep

 hum ... what if your LEAF dies when the queue is not empty??
 you end up loosing mail!

  Not really. OK, I will try to explain myself. Im not talking about a real 
smtp server but a SMTP proxy. The proxy listens on port 25 for a connection 
and passes it toan internal real SMTP server WITHOUT ackoledging the origin 
server. When the inside server receives the email, and says everything is OK, 
the proxy tells the origin server that it was OK.

  So if during the process the power goes down, as you have not acknowledge 
the message yet, the origin server as not deleted it from its HD and will try 
again.

  We have tested it and promise it works wonders. Actually it was quite hard 
to find the solution as only 1 piece of software really acted as a proxy.

  The beauty is, you can process the email in the proxy and scan it for 
viruses or antirelay or in the future antispam.

  Please, just be calm, we are in the middle of a big project for our company 
and we havent found time to upload the iso now that we have our CVS ready 
(that was just a few days ago). Also we are considering releasing just with 
stable 1.0 instead of 1.0rc3 with some bugfixes that we are using). Its just 
we are very high on the todo list.  

 I believe there are 2 answers to the problem:
 without disk:
 * you should be able to add a  DNAT line in Shorewall to forward all
 traffic from the Internet to
 the FW:25 to your Mail server:25 inside the firewall ...  and configure
 NATing to allow your Mailserver
 to send mail out ( or to your ISP mail relay)

  Of course this solution is viable, but doesnt allow for processing in the 
firewall. Lets say you have an inside E2000 server (ugghhh) and want to 
protect it from relaying email or viruses, now you have this choice.

 with disk:
 * you can mount /dev/hdaX /var/qmail/queue in /etc/init.d/qmail start ( and
 umount it in stop )
 to keep your queue on disk.
 The trick is to modify the /var/lib/lrp/qmail.list and qmail.exclude.list
 in qmail.list replace var/qmail/queue/lock by  var/qmail/queue (you need to

 and add var/qmail/queue/* in exclude.list
 when performing the installation the first time, you'll have to get all the
 files  [ the one created dynamically
 and the lock directory ] from /var/qmail/queue to the Hard Disk

  Surelly this is another option, but most of the times if the traffic 
ismoderate you will be able to get by with our solution without moving parts 
:)

Hi,

Yes, I'm planning to add 802.1X support in one of the future
releases. Which also means RADIUS support provided that your
RADIUS server supports EAP/TLS (such as FreeRADIUS).

I think I'll make one more maintenance release with the old

[leaf-user] shoe box PCs with DOC 4-sale

2002-11-20 Thread Dan
Hi

I still have a number of Industrial quality shoe box size PCs w/2MB Disk
on chip, 16MB Ram, 2 Ethernet connections, that make excellent LEAF boxes,
booting from DOC is very fast. This is the same unit used by Brad Fritz to
write his chapter for the Bering users guide. Thanks Brad!

Price $150.00 includes shipping.

Each PC has:

Advantech PCA-6145B Single Board Computer ISA 486 Half-sized SBC w/VGA, LCD,
Ethernet, DOC  PC/104
with 486 DX4-100, 16MB SIMM RAM, 2MB Disk-on-chip.

Advantech IPC-6806S Desktop 6-slot Chassis with Backplane (6 ISA), with 100W
PS

Advantech PCL-731 48-bit Digital I/O Card. (something to play with?)

3com 3c509C ethernet card.

Manuals, floppy and HD cables, I don't have cables for Digital I/O Card.
The chassis has a flip top which allows access without removing the case.
Also has a removeable knockout for mounting a 3.5 floppy, and mounting
brackets for a hard disk.

The overall dimensions are 11.1 deep x 7.7 wide x 6.7 high.

The total price for all this from advantech is over $800.

If anyone is interested I will sell them for $150 which includes shipping in
the US.

I am not a vendor, I happened on these boxes when a design was changed at
work. They seem to be a perfect fit for someone who wants to play with
linux router code.

Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if interested.

 I still have a number of Industrial quality shoe box size PCs w/2MB Disk

 booting from DOC is very fast.

These are high quality units that are built like tanks.  $150
is a very good deal if you're looking for something like this.

Dan was quick to respond to my emails when I was arranging to
purchase one, the unit I bought shipped promptly, and arrived
exactly as advertised.  I would not hesitate to do business with
Dan again.

 a real smtp server but a SMTP proxy. The proxy listens on port 25

 ackoledging the origin server. When the inside server receives the

Can you tell us what SMTP proxy you used?  A URL would be

I see.  After a brief review, it doesn't look like HDL does
anything fancy before or during the compile.  If Jacques' 184k
qmail.lrp package[1] is too big, you should be able to apply the
trimming and configuration suggested in HDL's instructions[2]
to the binaries in Jacques' qmail.lrp and avoid compiling qmail
yourself.

I realize you were probably looking for something more specific
or polished, but the good news is that what you want to do should
be possible and Jacques' qmail package HowTo[3] would probably
help get you started.

The DWL 520 is prism2.5, but the 520+ is not (or so I've heard).
This posting on the soekris-tech list gives more info:

http://lists.soekris.com/pipermail/soekris-tech/2002-September/000758.html

There is an OEM version of the 520 available with slightly
higher power output too, IIRC.  The details should be in
the soekris-tech archives, but I don't remember the OEM's
name offhand.

Read good documentation on line for Bering. As for the cable I'm not 
with cable anymore, but if you are going to use the same NIC for 
Internet connection like before once you  load NIC's modules you should 
be connected to internet via dhcp. If you are going to use different nic 
to connect to internet, than you have to release this NIC and than try 
to connect with new one. That's the only way if I remember.

[leaf-user] Found error in Bering ipsec509 script

2002-11-20 Thread Jacques Nilo
Eric found this bug in Bering-v1.0-stable ipsec.lrp and ipsec509.lrp packages
This bug only affects people trying to use ipsec through the ppp interface.
It was corrected in rc4 but the wrong patch was applied to stable.
This is now corrected and I just uploaded the corrected ipsec.lrp and 
ipsec509.lrp in the stable/packages directory.

Jacques

Le Mercredi 20 Novembre 2002 20:51, Eric de Thouars a écrit :
 Jacques,

 Today I went for the upgrade to v1.0-stable, but I had some troubles
 getting the ipsec509 package to work. The error message displayed upon
 startup of ipsec was:

   ipsec_setup: unable to determine address of `ppp0'

 After looking at some of the scripts in the package and in pacjages from
 previous versions I think I found the cause of the error. In
 /lib/ipsec/_startklips I changed two lines in the Berig specific
 modification to the script.

 Changed
  awk '$1 == inet   $3 == brd {
 to
  awk '$1 == inet  {

 and
  print type=pointopoint
 to
  print type=peer

 After this modification everything worked OK.

 By the way, I'm using interface ppp0 for my internet connection.

[leaf-user] Bering RC4 SLOW PINGS

2002-11-20 Thread James K. Wiggs

 Folks,

   I apologize if this is a FAQ, but my net connection is so slow now that
I can't effectively search the web for information.  I have a Road Runner
Commercial Cable account in the Tampa Bay area; I upgraded to the
commercial in late September after having the residential service for
about 2 years.  For that entire time, I'd been using the same box as
my firewall/router, a 486/66 w/32M and a pair of SMC Ultra NICs.  The 
software was originally Eigerstein and later Dachstein and worked
perfectly the entire time.  So, about 2 weeks ago the network performance
totally went to hell in a handbasket.  Ping times, even to RR internal
network machines, are now in the 1600-2000 ms time range.  Packet loss is
very high, bandwidth is almost nonexistent.  In an effort to solve the
problem, after RR had been out many times and made multiple hardware
repair efforts, I upgraded the software to Bering RC4.

   The situation ias it stands, is this:

1) Any standalone machine, plugged directly into the ZyXEL cable modem and
configured with the correct static IP address and netmask, gets full
bandwidth and brisk ping times.
2) The original router/firewall gets miniscule bandwidth and slow pings,
whether booted from Dachstein or Bering.
3) A different machine, configured with a 3Com 905TX and a NetGear FA311
and booted from Bering RC4, *also* gets lousy bandwidth and slow pings.
4) That machine, booted before the proper driver was installed to get the
FA311 card working, got fast pings and good bandwidth (the 3Com is the
external interface).
5) As soon as the 2nd NIC was working properly so that the box was
actually acting as a router/firewall, the network bandwidth and pings went
to hell.

   All of this suggests that the problem is in iptables or in Shorewall,
but I can find no discussion of this problem in web searches or DejaNews.
I have done little to this Bering configuration beyond configuring the
static stuff in the networking setup.  I did install ntpdate and opened up
port 123 as a result.  I've got the box acting as a DHCP server for the
internal network and have opened up 67  68 internally for that.  Ports
80, 25, and 22 are being forwarded to internal machines for web, email,
and SSH access.  Oh, yes: the dnscache package has been configured and the
appropriate ports opened up internally and externally for that.  The box
is doing NAT for the entire internal network, of course.  I can upload the
iptables/shorewall setup if necessary, but this really is a fairly vanilla
setup.

   Can anyone suggest what could be causing this problem?  Is it a known
problem with Bering or Shorewall?   The net connection is slowing down so
badly now that I have to cut this short.

   I want to emphasize that this problem started spontaneously and now
persists regardless of whether I boot from the new Bering floppy or the
old Dachstein floppy.  It appears only to happen when there are actually
two functioning NICs in the box and it is actually working as a
router/firewall.  There was a period of about 4 days, from last Thursday
afternoon until Tuesday morning, when the old 486 box with the Bering
floppy worked properly.

   I will try to follow up on this tomorrow from a faster access point.

regards,
Jim Wiggs

reviews of iptables rulesets) to a mail-forwarding loop between a DMZ 
server here and an off-site server that chewed up our DSL bandwidth ... not 
quite all the time, but whenever *both* the local and the remote host were 
connected to the Internet (most but not all of the time, giving just enough 
unpredictabililty to make it *look* like it wasn't a configuration error).

That's only a guess, though. To me more certain, I'd want to know a bit 
more about the tests, such as ...

1. Does physically disconnecting from the LAN the host that you forward 
port 25 to affect system performance? What about port 80 (if it is a 
different host)? Are you running any peer-to-peer apps that might be 
consuming a lot of bandwidth? (And BTW, how many hosts are on the LAN?)

2. You wrote that:

1) Any standalone machine, plugged directly into the ZyXEL cable modem and
configured with the correct static IP address and netmask, gets full
bandwidth and brisk ping times.


Any is one of those terms that sounds like is says more than it 
does.  Put this way, it doesn't actually describe any test; instead, it 
offers your interpretation of an undescribed test. What was the actual test 
you did to reach this conclusion? Did you really test EVERY host you have 
(and how many is that?), each in its normal configuration? Or did you just 
test 3 or 4 different hosts?

3. You wrote:

5) As soon as the 2nd NIC was working properly so that the box was
actually acting as a router/firewall, the network bandwidth and pings went
to hell.


... and ...


It appears only to happen when there are actually
two functioning NICs in the box and it is actually working as a
router/firewall.


From these descriptions, I can't really tell if your test involved 
connecting the firewall to the LAN or not. My guess assumes that you are 
describing something that happens only when the LAN is actually connected 
to the firewall. If I'm wrong ... if you just mean that the 2 NICs are 
working, but the internal one is not physically connected to anything, then 
my guess is bad.

4. What traffic levels is the router reporting that it handles? (Calculate 
this by running ip -s link twice, a minute apart, and seeing how much the 
total traffic changes by. There may be better ways, but that is one that 
works reliably.) If my guess is right, the load will show as high on both 
interfaces. If it is high on the external interface only, then the problem 
is somewhere in the router's configuration ... might it be running some 
service you forgot to mention? Do the logs show any unusual pattersn of 
DENYs or REJECTs?

5. Finally, you wrote:

   I want to emphasize that this problem started spontaneously


From this, I believe that you did nothing to the *router* that caused it. 
But what about the rest of the LAN? Did you make any changes on the mail 
server or the Web server?

 Folks,

   I apologize if this is a FAQ, but my net connection is so slow now that
I can't effectively search the web for information.  I have a Road Runner
Commercial Cable account in the Tampa Bay area; I upgraded to the
commercial in late September after having the residential service for
about 2 years.  For that entire time, I'd been using the same box as
my firewall/router, a 486/66 w/32M and a pair of SMC Ultra NICs.  The
software was originally Eigerstein and later Dachstein and worked
perfectly the entire time.  So, about 2 weeks ago the network performance
totally went to hell in a handbasket.  Ping times, even to RR internal
network machines, are now in the 1600-2000 ms time range.  Packet loss is
very high, bandwidth is almost nonexistent.  In an effort to solve the
problem, after RR had been out many times and made multiple hardware
repair efforts, I upgraded the software to Bering RC4.

   The situation ias it stands, is this:

1) Any standalone machine, plugged directly into the ZyXEL cable modem and
configured with the correct static IP address and netmask, gets full
bandwidth and brisk ping times.
2) The original router/firewall gets miniscule bandwidth and slow pings,
whether booted from Dachstein or Bering.
3) A different machine, configured with a 3Com 905TX and a NetGear FA311
and booted from Bering RC4, *also* gets lousy bandwidth and slow pings.
4) That machine, booted before the proper driver was installed to get the
FA311 card working, got fast pings and good bandwidth (the 3Com is the
external interface).
5) As soon as the 2nd NIC was working properly so that the box was
actually acting as a router/firewall, the network bandwidth and pings went
to hell.

   All of this suggests that the problem is in iptables or in

 These are high quality units that are built like tanks.  $150
 is a very good deal if you're looking for something like this.

 Dan was quick to respond to my emails when I was arranging to
 purchase one, the unit I bought shipped promptly, and arrived
 exactly as advertised.  I would not hesitate to do business with
 Dan again.
