Jacques (and others),
thank you very very much. Will try out.

Would it be possible that the MIME type associated with the modules.dep
would be text ?

I would like to write an Italian version of your installation guide. Not a
full translation (afraid would not have time to do that) but a terse, quick
HOWTO. If i do so would you be interested in adding it to the project doc ??

Ciao from Rome (caput mundi 8->). Bob Alexander

Luis thank you very much (muito obrigado ?).

How can I understand which of the many many modules present in the scsi 
directory own the missing symbols ??? (this is a general question).

Take care

you will probably need the scsi_mod.
Check the modules.dep in the kernel source tree.

Hello all, 

if I set the idle to 30~80 seconds, all is working fine. 
But more give me no Timeout on ppp0. Why ?
   

Your link is probably being keep active by inbound traffic from the
internet.  I had the same issue.  I was "normally" able to get a proper
disconnect with a short idle timeout [like 30-60 seconds].  But with my
desired timeout of 600 seconds - inbound traffic from the internet would
reset the pppd timer and keep the link active forever.
 [...]

 

I like to have an 'IDLE 300' but this will never disconnect...
I was trying two weeks the Bering with the 'active-filter' and 
it does not work. There is no incoming and no outgoing traffic, 
and Bering does not disconnect after 300 seconds. 
   

Are you sure that there is not inbound traffic???

What I found was inbound pings [ICMP] and other unwanted traffic from the
net was resetting my timer.  I found that using the following command
'pppstats -w 30'  worked well to identify that infact traffic was coming
from the net [note 30 is the number of seconds between stat updates].
While pppstats was updating my screen - I was able to see inbound bytes
incrementing.  Shorewall would drop the packet, but pppd saw it as valid
traffic.
I finally pulled the tcpdump.lrp to my FW to watch the traffic that was
inbound.   What I found was MS share requests, pings, and other traffic was
keeping my ppp0 interface active.
I pulled down the pppd with the filter enabled and replaced my default pppd
file.  I added the following to my /etc/ppp/options file ...
active-filter 'not(icmp[0]=0 or icmp[0]=3 or icmp[0]=8 or port 135 or port
137 or port 139 or port 445)'
which has solved my problem.  The format is the same as the tcpdump
expression.  I did not find too much helpful information on the net about
the syntax - but was able to filter icmp's - and test it with tcpdump.
Later I added the port 135-139 & 445 because I continued to see M$ junk
hitting my FW.
 

I have setup a dial out Bering firewall in a small office.  Recently I 
noticed that it often fails to hang up the modem even when all machines 
on the internal network have been turned off for long past the timeout 
value.   Possibly this is because of the increased number of worms 
hammering on the outside.  I replaced pppd with the active-filter 
version but had not researched how to implement it.  I shall try your 
active-filter line in /etc/ppp/options.  Thanks very much for your post 
and hope this solves the  "no hang up" the modem  problem.

[leaf-user] 2xNIC Bering won't route? Help!

2003-10-09 Thread James Neave
Hi Everybody,

This ones got my hair falling out. A very simple task, which I've done
before.

1 Bering box, 2 NICs (3c905C and rtl8139)

This box has no external connection (yet, still no ADSL), just needs to
route between the two eth adaptors

A D-Link WAP (192.168.51.2) is plugged straight into eth1 (192.168.51.1)
A WinXP (192.168.50.30) box is crossed over into eth0 (192.168.50.1)

Hosts.allow contains
ALL: 192.168.50.0/255.255.255.0
ALL: 192.168.51.0/255.255.255.0

Two zones in shorewall, dave and alex (+fw).
Dave is bound to eth1, alex to eth0.

Policy is:

DavealexACCEPT
AlexdaveACCEPT
Fw  all ACCEPT
All fw  ACCEPT

The routes are correctly set, all ping requests flash a light on a NIC
somewhere.

Fw can ping it's interfaces, the WAP and the XP box.
The XP box can ping both interfaces of the FW box.
A wireless client can ping the WAP and the FW box.

But that's it. The XP box cannot see the WAP or any wireless clients.

I could've sworn this worked on Sunday...
I'm not doing any NAT, maybe I have to turn NAT off in shorewall config?

Somebody please help, this is driving me nuts...

Thanks again,

James.

2003-10-09 Thread James Neave
Hi,

Yes, here are the settings for all the hosts.

The WAP

IP: 192.168.51.2
MASK:   255.255.255.0
GATE:   192.168.51.1
DNS:192.168.51.1 (redundant, no DNS yet)

The XP Box

IP: 192.168.50.30
MASK:   255.255.255.0
GATE:   None
DNS:None

ON the XP Box:

Route add 192.168.51.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.30

Interfaces file on the bering box: (may not be precise syntax, but the
values are correct)

Auto eth0
Eth0 static
Address 192.168.50.1
Masklen 24
Broadcast   192.168.50.255
(no gateway tag)

auto eth1
eth1 static
address 192.168.51.1
masklen 24
broadcast   192.168.51.255
(no gateway tag)

"ip route show" just has the two networks with their respective
adaptors.

Thanks,

James.

Re: [leaf-user] 2xNIC Bering won't route? Help!

2003-10-09 Thread Huy Bui
On the XP Box  you should add
Route add -p 192.168.51.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.1

the -p make the route permanent. and the next hop to 192.168.51.0 should be
the eth0 on the bering box

Hi,

Yes, here are the settings for all the hosts.

The WAP

IP: 192.168.51.2
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATE: 192.168.51.1
DNS: 192.168.51.1 (redundant, no DNS yet)

The XP Box

IP: 192.168.50.30
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATE: None
DNS: None

ON the XP Box:

Route add 192.168.51.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.30

Interfaces file on the bering box: (may not be precise syntax, but the
values are correct)

Auto eth0
Eth0 static
Address 192.168.50.1
Masklen 24
Broadcast 192.168.50.255
(no gateway tag)

auto eth1
eth1 static
address 192.168.51.1
masklen 24
broadcast 192.168.51.255
(no gateway tag)

"ip route show" just has the two networks with their respective
adaptors.

Thanks,

James.

[leaf-user] Again the neverending "boot from USB FDD saga" 8-

2003-10-09 Thread Bob Alexander
Dear Friends,
I really regret having to flood this list with this probably stupid problem
but when something does not work for me I tend to become quite monomaniac
8->

Ok, as per previous help added the following modules:
scsi-mod
sd-mod
usbcore
usb-uhci
usb-storage

When I boot linux on the same machine I see that the external USB attached
FDD is known as /dev/sda

I have therefore edited the syslinux.cfg on Bering saying that the packages
are not on fd0u1680 but on sda1.

I also have added a 3 second delay after the modules loading.

When I powerup the PC the boot from bering begins and after quite a long
time (on a PC with a traditional non USB flpppy the process is much faster)
at the end I find the last lines that say (going by memory):

Mounted /dev/sda as msdos
PKGPATH /dev/sda1
mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt1
usb_uhci.c: interrupt status 3 frame #964
I/O error 
then quite a few other I/O errors and then init gets killed

I also tried changing boot to /dev/sda1:msdos but the boot quit even before.

I am obviously blundering in the wrong direction !!!

Thank you for any help. Bob

[leaf-user] Problems with 3c509.o module

2003-10-09 Thread Andrew Gray
 Hi all,

 I am trying to replace 2 of my current Dachstein firewalls with a Bering
version.   Each of these use 3c509 NICs which have been working fine for a
couple of years under Dachstein but as soon as I boot the machines in Bering
I get the following Kernel Panic:

 .
 Kernel panic:Aiee, killing interupt handler!


 At this point the machine is locked up with the keyboard lights flashing
and can only be accessed by rebooting.   The module I am using was
downloaded from the LEAF site under the Bering section.

 Unfortunately I have no facility to compile modules so any help would be
appreciated.

[leaf-user] TI ACX100 based wireless NIC problem.

2003-10-09 Thread James Neave
Hello All,

*sighs*

Well, Alex has managed to buy hardware that seems to universally hate
linux...

We have a D-LINK 520+ pci wifi nic based on the TI ACX100 chipset.

There is a very early open driver for it here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/acx100/
Which is still alpha.

And a guide to use the closed driver here
http://www.hack.gr/users/panxer/wireless/
This sounds more useful. But there are some things in there that confuse
me. (not hard)

"I tried the driver and works with my Debian 3.r0, 2.4.18 system."
Sounds promising.

The second link lists this as a step:

Build the 2.4.18 kernel with:
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y 
CONFIG_MODULES=y 
CONFIG_KMOD=y 
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y 
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y 
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=y

Means nothing to me, has the Bering kernel been compiled like this?

"3. Get wireless-tools by Jean Tourrilhes and build them"

Is this what wireless.lrp is?

Thanks!

James.

Re: [leaf-user] Again the neverending "boot from USB FDD saga" 8-

2003-10-09 Thread Huy Bui
I think you have to use /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1
Have you try with a 1.44 formated floppy instead of  1.68.
I use to have a similar prblem with a IDE LS120 drive booting a floppy.
Bering recognise it as /dev/hdc. It only work with 1.44 format since I did
not know how to specify the size of the floppy. (i.e i can not use something
like /dev/hdc1680)
Hope this help.

from the LEAF site under the Bering section.
Unfortunately I have no facility to compile modules so any help would be
appreciated.
First, we probably need a bit more detail on what versions of things you 
are using. Am I right in surmising that you downloaded an image of 
Bering-1.2 and the associated modules file from the Bering download area, 
that is, these packages:

Bering_1.2_img_bering-1680.bin [or .exe]
Bering_1.2_modules_2.4.20.tar.gz
If not, be specific about what you are using. The LEAF site is a bit like 
Zork, with "twisty little passages" that sometimes lead you to obsolete or 
incorrect files, and the first thing to check is that you are using current 
and matching versions of things.

Second, these kernel panics can be the result of hardware problems, not 
only of module problems. In your case, this is less likely (since the 
system runs OK with Dachstein), but you do want to check two possibilities:

1. A bad floppy disk. If you have not tried several different floppies, 
please do.

2. A RAM problem. 2.4.x kernels do use a bit more RAM than 2.2.x kernels, 
typically, so you want to make sure there is enough RAM on the system to 
handle Bering. (The "invalid operand" part of the panic message makes this 
a particularly tempting guess, BTW.)

Finally, I know that it is hard to transcribe panic messages exactly, but 
the fragmentary nature of yours leaves me wondering where in boot/init this 
panic happens. "As soon as I boot" isn't really an answer to this, since it 
surely does not happen before the 3c509 module is loaded, and a lot happens 
before that (like actual booting; module installation doesn't happen until 
later, after init is running). The closing reference to "iptables" makes me 
think it is well after the NIC module is installed, perhaps when Shorewall 
is setting up its rules.  You might want to clarify that part (for example, 
does the module think it finds and configures the NICs, earlier in the 
boot/init process)?

If none of these suggestions leads tyou to a solution, please post a 
follow-up with additional information about your setup and exactly what 
Bering files you downloaded. (Unless, of course, someone else regognizes 
the problem from the description you posted and gives you a succinct answer.)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "start to init the screen", but that 
sort of erro message usually means that you are trying to run a program on 
a terminal type ("Linux", or maybe "linux", is a terminal type used on vts) 
that it does not know how to work with. Provide a bit more detail and I (or

[leaf-user] DNS with Bering in a small LAN

2003-10-09 Thread Jose Luis Abuelo Sebio
Hey how is everybody doing?

 Let see if you can spot me here with my problem. I
use to work with Bering 1.2 for VLAN issues but now I
want to configure an old machine as a firewall using
the software shorewall which is include in Berig 1.2.

  I have downloaded the quick start guide for a simple
configuration, a local net conected to the firewall
(eth1) by a hub (local PCs and the firewall by eth1
are conected to the same hub) and the firewall
conected to a cisco router machine provided by my
cable operator (eth0) of course eth1 has the
subnet address of the local net and eh0 has the same
subnet  address of the router. Also I have
configurated
all the machines within the local net with their
gateway set to the IP address of the local
interafce of the firewall (eth1).

  I have the following policies:

 local net ACCEPT
 net   all DROP
 all   all REJCET

Them in the rules I have 
 PORT
RULE   Source DEST  ProtoDEST
ACCEPT fw net   tcp  53
ACCEPT fw net   udp  53
# For ssh conection
ACCEPT locfwtcp  22

ACCEPT locfwicmp  8
ACCEPT netfwicmp  8 
ACCEPT fw loc   icmp  8
ACCEPT fw net   icmp  8

ACCEPT locfwtcp   80
ACCEPT locfwudp   53

ACCEPT locfwtcp   4662
ACCEPT netfwtcp   4662
ACCEPT fw net   tcp   4662
ACCEPT fw loc   tcp   4662

ACCEPT netfwudp   4672
ACCEPT locfwudp   4672
ACCEPT fw net   udp   4672
ACCEPT fw loc   udp   4672

#SMTP mail
ACCEPT locfwtcp   25
ACCEPT netfwtcp   25
ACCEPT fw net   tcp   25
ACCEPT fw loc   tcp   25

#POP mail
ACCEPT locfwtcp   110
ACCEPT netfwtcp   110
ACCEPT fw net   tcp   110
ACCEPT fw loc   tcp   110


and in the Masq option of the Shorwall menu I have

#Interface  SubnetAddress
 eth0   eth1  192.168.10.106

Where 192.168.10.106 is teh ip address of eth0


the file host.allow has

ALL:192.168.30.0/24 

where 192.168.30.0 is the subnet address of the
internal net conected to eth1 so that any PC from that
net can access to the services of the firewall, and
reach the internet, am I wrong?.


I have, at this point two questions:

1º) I don´t have any DNS configured in my local net
(neither at the firewall (LEAF Router), dnscache
etc...). In the PCs of the local net I have the
addresses of the DNS servers that my cable operator
gave me. SO now I don´t know if I have to configure a
DNS server in my firewall (Leaf Router) or what, and
If so how???. As I have understood in the Quickstart
guide for two interfaces, The resolv.conf will be
written as soon as you conect to your ISP



2) so now here comes the problem. From any computer
of the local net I can ping the internal IP address of
the cisco router(which is conected to the fw) and from
the firewall(LEAF router) I can ping either the
internal address of the cisco router or any local PC. 

The question here is that I can´t ping the external IP
address of the cisco router or do a traceroute and
when I try to open my web broser in any of my local
PCs it doesn´t work. It says that it can open the
website, and the same for the mailing tool Outlook

3)  with Bering 1.2 and its shorewall, do I have to
start the firewall with any
command? or does it get set up automaticly by it self
after the sistem is booted? if so, how can I get it
started?

Did I do anything wrong in my configuration of the
firewall or in the desing of the net?

Thanks for yor time falks

From the above i assume that the local pc's are windows clients .
if this is the case don't forget that  you need to set up their (default)
gateway and DNS server if you are not using a DHCP server
The default gateway should be the Bering firewall and DNS the one given by
your provider

I had the same problem (modem not hanging up due to incoming traffic) but
with with an isdn modem
Goggling through the net i found a SUSE article that had a active-filter
sentence which works very good (at least in my case)
The sentence is
active-filter 'outbound and not icmp[0] == 3 and not tcp[13] & 4 != 0'

Although the article refers to ipppd and isdn ,i think it will work the same
for pppd with active filter support, put i have not tested yet

Here is the link for future reference
