[leaf-user] Shorewall 2.0.2a
Tom, Is the Shorewall 2.0.2a.lrp package compatible with iptables version 1.2.8 found in Bering 1.2. If the answer is yes, is there anything I should look out for in upgrading (aside from the upgrade issues on the Shorewall web site)?

[leaf-user] Shorewall 2.0.2a LRP
I seem to have encountered an anomaly whilst upgrading my Bering 1.2 box to the aforementioned version of Shorewall. The new restore feature attempts to create a file in /var/lib/shorewall, which does not exist at boot time. This causes Shorewall to abend. The most concise solution I could muster at 3AM was to add the following to the beginning of /etc/init.d/shorewall (before EXECUTION BEGINS HERE): if [ ! -d /var/lib/shorewall ]; then mkdir /var/lib/shorewall fi Is this enough to rate a 2.0.2b, Tom? :Christopher Harewood --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562alloc_id=6184op=click leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html

Note that var/lib/shorewall/ is in shorewall-2.0.2a.lrp but apparently that isn't sufficient to satisfy the archane .lrp package system. In any event, I'm getting out of the .lrp business entirely.

[leaf-user] USB Keyboard

The user tells me it starts the boot then gets to a point where it says: installing root: gunzip: invalid gzip magic As you'd expect, everything following fails because root hasn't been installed and the kernel eventually panics. Sounds like it was compressed wrong with gzip on a different computer or the package was backed up on a running system after running for a while.

According to the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide (at http://www.extremenetworks.com/services/documentation/swuserguides.asp), the software performs as a virtual router, allowing one physical switch to be split into several virtual routers. It runs on their Black Diamond 10K switches. Which pretty much does *not* make it a switch at all. I hate it when companies don't use the correct teminology. NW quotes Extreme as saying modifications were made in the Linux kernel to improve the packet forwarding capabilities of the software, as well as hardening its security Hmmm They also say that Extreme says that in accordance with the GPL, it will be pushing its changes to Linux back to the open-source community. That is always a plus. :) Yes, in more ways than one - The more widespread commercial Linux offerings there are, the more accepted related open source projects will be in the enterprise. True, but the hardening likely has to do with the limiting of normal options of the kernel itself due to compiling outside of a true patch like grsecurity releases (that LEAF distro's use as well). I'm wondering what LEAF developers think about this? Sounds like they're attempting to take on Cisco. I've viewed Extreme Networks as a serious contender for some time now. I'm sure they are on Cisco's radar screen. Cisco is probably more worried about 3Com, though, since they have a more mature enterprise support structure and reputation. They probably are on the radar screen. After Linksys started using Linux, Cisco immediately bought them out. I doubt they are worried about 3com as most of their units are running a scaled-down version of Cisco's IOS. The article also mentioned how pleased developers of the XORP project were. There was a previous article posted about that project too. Can someone tell me if/how XORP and LEAF are related? Do they share resources or benefit from one another's work? To my knowledge XORP and LEAF are not related in any way outside of using the linux kernel. Too bad, I'm reading about progress in both projects. Although their design goals differ significantly, both might benefit from some level of collaboration. Possibly so, outside of LEAF being primarily developed by volunteers in their free time. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562alloc_id=6184op=click leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
