RE: [leaf-user] ipsec.lrp - does it do plain old DES?
You have the right attitude, single-DES is crap. However, ipsec.lrp does support single-DES. Superfreeswan includes additional encyrption algorithm patches which Jacques includes. RTM ;-) - http://leaf-project.org/devel/jnilo/bipack2.html 12.8. ipsec.lrp This is the super-freeswan ipsec package. Refer to the Bering user's guide for explanations. Superfreeswan 1.99.6.2 is patched with the following patches: NAT-Traversal, X509, ipsec_algs and port & protocols selector. Current "Bering" version: 1.99.6.2 http://www.freeswan.ca/patches/ Hope that helps, > Yes, I thought this would be the case.

There's no mention of it anywhere, and the FreeS/WAN docs say that by default 1DES support is included for 3DES encryption, but unable to be used as a protocol in its own right - for obvious reasons. > Superfreeswan includes additional encyrption algorithm > patches which Jacques includes. > > RTM ;-) - http://leaf-project.org/devel/jnilo/bipack2.html > > 12.8. ipsec.lrp > This is the super-freeswan ipsec package.

Yes, I read that before posting to this list, and since none of those patches enable the use of 1DES, I asked the list for further clarification. > Current "Bering" version: 1.99.6.2 > > http://www.freeswan.ca/patches/ This lists the patches available, and I also went to this site before emailing the list. None of the 1DES patches seem to be applied (sensibly) to the LEAF ipsec.lrp package. > Hope that helps, Not really. The information you have given me basically says that 1DES is not able to be used as a protocol, whereas you are saying it is able to be used. So, your suggestion is refuted by the links you gave as a reference - actually muddying the issue, not clarifying it. :( - HiltonT > > Yes, I thought this would be the case.

[leaf-user] Dynamic tinydns Bering 1.0
Dear list ! (using bering 1.0 stable w/ dnscache&tinydns and dhcpd) Currently I am using my privat DNSserver with static client-IPs. They just use djbdns for nameresolution. I edited the config files for tinydns, restarted shorwall and dns and zoom: it works. Now I can get rid off /etc/hosts. But whats about dynamic IP-Name-resolving ? I got one single dynamic client in my homebrewed net. This is the "road warrier" - the mobile PC. That one gets its (changing) IP from Bering using dhcp. Worked fine for months so far... I found no doku for this (common) problem...

Oops - http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/manpages/README.ipsec_alg.txt This link clearly states nothing at all about 1DES. I guess you are right.

Re: [leaf-user] Dynamic tinydns Bering 1.0
Hello Hein, The solution I use is that the laptop allways get the same IP Adress from the dhcpd server As an example my dhcpd conf. - dynamic-bootp-lease-length 604800; max-lease-time 1209600; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.1.254; option domain-name "my.net"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.254; range 192.168.1.110 192.168.1.199; host roadwarrior { hardware ethernet 00:00:33:11:22:44; fixed-address 192.168.1.100; } replace your hostname and mac address. Now you can use your name "roadwarrior.my.net" in tinydns Regards Eric Wolzak member of the bering Crew >Dear list ! >(using bering 1.0 stable w/ dnscache&tinydns and dhcpd) >Currently I am using my privat DNSserver with static >client-IPs. >They just use djbdns for nameresolution.

[leaf-user] OT: Bash question

Peter Nosko wrote: pn] Forgive me; I can't Google this for some reason. pn] Is there an elegant way to test a positional parameter for being numeric (so that I don't assign a string to a numeric variable)? The quick & dirty way to do something like this would be with a case statement: case $1 in [0-9]*) echo Number: $1 ;; *) echo Text: $1 ;; esac Note that this only tests the *FIRST* character of the parameter, so something like 1a would incorrectly look like a number. To get around this problem (if necessary), you'll either need to recursively parse each digit of the parameter to see if it's a number (ugly, but relies only on built-in shell commands)...something like: #!/bin/ash ParseChar () { case $1 in [0-9]*) if [ ${#1} -ge 2 ] ; then Parse ${1#?} fi ;; *) NUMBER=NO ;; esac } Parse () { NUMBER=YES ParseChar $1 } Parse $1 echo "Number?: $NUMBER" ...or pass the whole thing to something like sed that can deal with more complicated regular expressions. NOTE: You could probably clean up the recursive example code. I'd probably try to get away from using the NUMBER global, and maybe pass the Parse procedure a second parameter containing the variable name you'd like the number or a default value assigned to, and you might want (or need) to deal with a leading +/- sign, a decimal (only one!) and/or comma seperators (ie -32,768.0), but the above does actually work for "plain" numbers. -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
