Only 64 messages this month. Are less and less people using leaf, what
is going on with everyone? I have been slowley rolling out leaf boxes
to about 16 locations. I couldn't have asked for a better
firewall/router. I'd like to very much thank the leaf developers for
their continued efforts. -cpu

Well here is one to ask about!

My uclibc router has been playing up of late, its loosing its networking. So
much so that an svi networking restart comes up with no IP addresses. Ifdown
then ifup of the individual interfaces will work.

The DSL connection will come up but it will show the output that should be
going to logs on /dev/console, same with mgetty, its coming up on the screen
too. Its most frustrating, I think there is a logging issue and a networking
issue. Time to back it allup and start again otherwise.

Regards,
Matt

LEAF is very nice!  I started as a Linux newbie (still applies!!) but I
managed with the help of this list to set up a firewall/router on an old
Pentium with DHCP, VPN and SSH all on a 1.44 floppy!!  Works like a
bought one!  And much more fun to play with!!

Thanks folks.

PS.  Its about time I upgraded to a later version so I thought maybe
some nice words (but very true!!) might make you all more likely to help
when I need it!!

PS   That was a joke!

Hello James! If software is like fine art then nothing is finished
(perfected), only abandoned. There is always something to improve. But
in lots of ways, leaf does appear to be complete. The only thing
lacking perhaps, is better usability, not features. It seems that
upgrading a leaf box can be quite a challenge for many. Though I must
say, it is not a big deal for me, due the extensive changes I've made
(read, bastardization :).

Anyhow, I feel that lrcfg is in need of a major overhaul. I’m sure many
will disagree, but, you can’t start/stop services from within lrcfg.
And it would be nice to be able to save a package while in a package
menu (incidentally, I added this capability :). Another problem with
lrcfg is that once you have more than 20 config options they scroll off
the screen.

Btw, you had mentioned something a while back about a high-level tool
that could setup/configure a leaf box from A-to-Z. I was working on
wizard-like setup tool that could run off a bootable CD, but ultimately
decided it probably wasn’t what people wanted. I base this theory on
the fact that few people request this sort of thing and the fact that
Lince never really took off, what do you think? –cpu

Arne, one thing I like best about Leaf is this userlist! Leaf is great too.

Its uclibc 2.2 btw.

Yes to syslog and kogd running they are there. Its is strange, I was going
to do some raidn gon loggin to decipher these conf files and understand just
what was happening in there.

The networking has me perplexed, it ran for nearly 100 days with one IP
address on a dynamic service, wonderful in truth. The it started playing up,
nothing I can recall was done to make it do this. So much so that getting
rp-pppoe to get a new address is a manual process now, and after that the
console is useless as the output from rp-pppoe comes to the console.

I will find out what is happening. It does sound like startup scripts, but
why is doing this to me, its such a woderfully complicated little system and
it does so much,

Matt

RE: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!

2005-06-28 Thread James Neave
Hi,

As a software developer, I know all about finishing software. :)

I remember that. That stemmed from being stuck in a windows only
environment and the thought of upgrading our Bering (1.0 I believe,
maybe 1.1) router to include latest kernel and security related patches
gives me the screaming heebee jeebees.

We're running in not broken, so don't even think about touching it mode.

I guess it's probably not possible, but I was pondering at that time on
a way to automagically create the latest packages with old configuration
intact. Which you can't.

Technically I'm still (STILL!) working on multi house wireless networks
with multiple shared internet connections. Although we very rarely get
any time to work on it anymore, as soon as the kitchen is refurbished we
have sworn to work on it every Wednesday evening. 8D

Another feature we're looking at adding is multicast routing across VPN
tunnels. This will allow mDNS and other zero conf stuff to work across
our big net and switch on iTunes sharing between our subnets. I think.
:S
That all seems still very bleeding edge in Linux. Is there an
mrouted.lrp about?

We've managed to finally connect two houses, get ADSL working in linux
(we cheated and bought Ethernet ADSL modems, no firewall, no NAT, just
single IP DHCP) as well as 802.11b (cheated again, used an AP as a
wireless Ethernet bridge)

It's all over one ADSL line though. LARTC says how we set the rest up
although everything kinda points to none of this working very well with
such a low number of users (route caching :( ). Plus we have to patch
and recompile the kernel to get failover working for if a connection
goes down @

Erik Spakman offered to do the compiling for us though, which I will
take him up on, one day... when I'm old and grey at this rate. :P

Regards,

Jim.

Hash: SHA1

I use Bering 1.0  stable on that machine.
There are some issues: read carefully the manual that explains how to
boot from the ide (it is on the second IDE iface but at boot time it is
viewed as the first) This affects ALL booting from IDE disks/flash on
that machine: luckily this may be the default setting.
On syslinux.cfg you must address as:
boot=/dev/hdc1:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hdc1
Remember that you need ide modules into initd.lrp
(to make this you must uncompress initrd.lrp then mount as loop the
uncompressed image ancd then put ide-mod.o ide-disk.o ide-probe-mod.o
into the directory mountpoint/boot/lib/modules and their names into
the file mountpoint/boot/etc/modules then umount and recompress)
This for bering 1.0-stable: it is so stable that I'm not planning to use
a newer one for the moment.

Hope this can help

Re: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!

2005-06-28 Thread cpu memhd
I don't know how frequently LARTC is updated, but it looks like a work
in progress. Not to say it's bad, it is very good, just sometimes
incomplete. I briefly looked into multicast routing to setup broadcast
gre tunnels but quickly realized I was about to swim with sharks
(recompile kernel or somewhere in that realm, etc). Not that I'd have a
problem with that, but I've made enough changes to my leaf kernel
already. I still drool over the La Brea tarpit netfilter patch, but I
have to hold back. Eventually I will get that going, along with a nosey
shorewall.log-snopping awk daemon that will do wonderful things to
those who even dare look at my router :)

Anyway, technically it's quite possible to create a leaf upgrade tool,
but practically speaking, I also think it's impossible. It would be too
time consuming. Beta testing could go on forever. At the very least,
something to replace the config files and a few other key
considerations might be reasonable. Leaf is pretty much like the full
distros where everything is afforded to you. This is why I decided to
use it. Astaro, Mandrake MNF, Smoothwall et al are simply what me the
vendor thinks a firewall should be...and here is the config tool, take
it or leave it. In order to upgrade a system, boundaries must be in
place. But there are no boundaries here to begin with.

Regardless, I'd say that at the very, very least... a CF/HDD image
would make things a lot easier for a lot of people. -cpu

Hi,

As a software developer, I know all about finishing software. :)

I remember that. That stemmed from being stuck in a windows only
environment and the thought of upgrading our Bering (1.0 I believe,
maybe 1.1) router to include latest kernel and security related
patches
gives me the screaming heebee jeebees.

We're running in not broken, so don't even think about touching it
mode.

I guess it's probably not possible, but I was pondering at that time
on
a way to automagically create the latest packages with old
configuration
intact. Which you can't.

Technically I'm still (STILL!) working on multi house wireless
networks
with multiple shared internet connections. Although we very rarely get
any time to work on it anymore, as soon as the kitchen is refurbished
we
have sworn to work on it every Wednesday evening. 8D

Another feature we're looking at adding is multicast routing across
VPN
tunnels. This will allow mDNS and other zero conf stuff to work across
our big net and switch on iTunes sharing between our subnets. I think.
:S
That all seems still very bleeding edge in Linux. Is there an
mrouted.lrp about?

We've managed to finally connect two houses, get ADSL working in linux
(we cheated and bought Ethernet ADSL modems, no firewall, no NAT, just
single IP DHCP) as well as 802.11b (cheated again, used an AP as a
wireless Ethernet bridge)

It's all over one ADSL line though. LARTC says how we set the rest up
although everything kinda points to none of this working very well
with
such a low number of users (route caching :( ). Plus we have to patch
and recompile the kernel to get failover working for if a connection
goes down @

Erik Spakman offered to do the compiling for us though, which I will
take him up on, one day... when I'm old and grey at this rate. :P

Regards,

Jim.

[leaf-user] Network Configuration Ideas

2005-06-28 Thread Robert K Coffman Jr - Info From Data Corporation
Ok, since CPU asked.

I didn't want to put this on list, because it isn't a Leaf question per se,
however I'm struggling with what to do with this.

In the simplest terms possible, I have a 4 subnet network, with each subnet
at a different physical location.  Location 1 has the internet connection,
and the core server (read:Citrix) for all the other locations.

Internet connectivity is via a proxy server on the location 1 subnet.  I
would like to eliminate the proxy, and replace it with Leaf with no proxy.
The problem is, is that this would give anyone in Location 1 two routes off
their network.  The connections to the remote subnets are via T1 and they
all connect to location 1 via a Cisco router which has no free connections.

Must have goals:  eliminate proxy server, provide one route off of the
Location 1 subnet.
Would like goals:  Avoid having Leaf as failure point between subnet 1 and
the remote subnets.  Avoid purchasing a new Cisco router.

Unfortunately, it seems that my best option would be to put another adapter
in the Leaf router, and renumber subnet 1, so that everything converges at
leaf on the old subnet 1 address.  However, since I'm using old commodity
hardware for that task, and internet connectivity is less important to the
business than the connectivity between the locations, I would love to keep
this from becoming a point of failure.

Any ideas on what to do here?  Or have I exhausted my options and I need to
violate one of my would like goals?  I don't know Cisco, but I suspect if
I did I could make short work of this problem.

Hi,

When you say two routes, do you mean:

1: NATed behind the LEAF box.
2: Through a Citrix session.

When you say you don't want LEAF as a single failure point, do you mean
you don't want LEAF to be a NAT'ing firewall for you internet connection
as well as performing the routing and/or tunnelling between your
subnets?

James.

[leaf-user] Lince future (was lets talk about something--anything!)

2005-06-28 Thread Jaime Nebrera
  Hi all,

  As main coordinator of Lince project (Juan Jesus is its main
developer) I want to comment on future of Lince as it has been mentioned
in this list latelly.

  Some of the features some people are asking about in the list (mainly
easy perdurable updates and flexibility) have been incorporated in
Lince, but this release has not been made public. The reason? In this
time our company has gone a major redo and has been very hard to explain
to our business angels that it was a good idea to release to the public
something we have done and are charging our clients :)

  In this time we have been mainly busy discussing this, and at the end
we have reached an agreement. Most probably we will release to the
public old releases and keep current ones to our paid customers. We are
planning on a new public release in about a week or so.

  So whats new in Lince?

  1) As said when Lince was born, we keep to the idea of including more
software than standard leaf. The reason is we use Compact Flash as
storage system and this days 128MB is really cheap. So some decisions
and features are not very polished, we could reduce space a bit more,
but frankly, we dont care we have plenty of space to use :) Currently we
are migrating Lince from a Leaf based glibc distro to a GNAP uClibc
based distro (Gentoo), so this public release might be one of the latest
to be done based on Debian.

  2) Even when we think of Lince as a whole (firmware) sometimes we have
needed to include extra packages, thats why is still compatible with old
lrp style packages (Now supports cloop, cramfs and lrp packages).

  3) We have developed our own propietary Management App in JAVA called
MarteGUI. Currently it manages all aspects of Lince. Still, its possible
to use Lince without this management app (actually, thats what we
release to the public). This app is done in such a way that we dont need
to modify the core system. We pack Lince and this app in some hardware
appliances that we sell to our clients (as a box or as a managed
service). You can see pictures of the boxes and software in
www.eneotecnologia.com/mambo/ - Hardware / Software. BTW, the app is in
english too and we are seeking for resellers :)

  4) Lince (core) currently has the following features:

  * Standard and bridged system
  * Advanced firewall (Shorewall 2.4)
  * QoS
  * NetFlow Probe
  * Automatic update (via http)
  * Web proxy and filtering
  * Web user auth (LDAP, MSAD)
  * High availability (VRRP and STP)
  * Load Balancing (IPVS)
  * IPSec VPN

  All of them are managed from the GUI but can be managed without it.

  We are releasing this to the public again as a way to foster
development around Lince. If we have success on this and some people
step forward and give us a hand, we will continue releasing Lince to the
public. We could even pay for this help for long term contributers with
our software :) If not, well we will need to discuss this topic again
with the investors :(

  5) We are currently working on:

  * Snort Inline integration
  * IPVS syncronization between different load balancers

  As said, we intend to stay using Debian for a short time, just until
we get GNAP working properly. That means porting to 2.6 and many others,
but this needs a different email :)

  What do you think? Good enough to increase the emails in the
list? :

  Regards

Er,

Wait, is this what you mean?

If there were two routers in subnet1, one to the internet (LEAF) and one
to the other subnets (Cisco), then two routes would have to be added to
the client machines and you don't want that (sounds nasty)?

Whereas if you made the LEAF box route the traffic from subnet1 to
subnet2 via the Cisco you would have 2 points of failure for traffic
between the LEAF box and the Cisco. But this would give you one default
route on the client boxes which is really what Windows likes.

Now do I get you?

Hurray!

Er, what was the question again?

Kidding.

Right

Instead of the two points of failure solution, is it possible to:

1) Have the Cisco router as the default route for subnet1 
2) Have the following routing table on the Cisco:

Arbitrary numbers:
subnet1 = 10.1.0.0/16
subnet2 = 10.2.0.0/16
subnet3 = 10.3.0.0/16
subnet4 = 10.4.0.0/16
Cisco1 = 10.1.0.1
LEAF box = 10.1.0.2

Source  DestGateway
10.1.0.0/16 10.2.0.0/16 10.2.0.1
10.1.0.0/16 10.3.0.0/16 10.3.0.1
10.1.0.0/16 10.4.0.0/16 10.4.0.1
10.1.0.0/16 default 10.1.0.2

Which is a backwards two points of failure solution. But the two points
of failure, the Cisco and the LEAF box, are between subnet1 and the
internet, not subnet1 and subnetN. And the internet is less important
than the inter-site connectivity.

Bearing mind I don't know anything about these Cisco things. They run on
voodoo as far as I know.

OR

Throw away the Cisco and just use LEAF! :D

James.

Er,

Wait, is this what you mean?

If there were two routers in subnet1, one to the internet (LEAF) and one
to
the other subnets (Cisco), then two routes would have to be added to the
client machines and you don't want that (sounds nasty)?

Whereas if you made the LEAF box route the traffic from subnet1 to
subnet2
via the Cisco you would have 2 points of failure for traffic between the
LEAF box and the Cisco. But this would give you one default route on the
client boxes which is really what Windows likes.

Now do I get you?

James.

Subject: [leaf-user] Network Configuration Ideas

Ok, since CPU asked.

I didn't want to put this on list, because it isn't a Leaf question per
se,
however I'm struggling with what to do with this.

In the simplest terms possible, I have a 4 subnet network, with each
subnet
at a different physical location.  Location 1 has the internet
connection,
and the core server (read:Citrix) for all the other locations.

Internet connectivity is via a proxy server on the location 1 subnet.  I
would like to eliminate the proxy, and replace it with Leaf with no
proxy.
The problem is, is that this would give anyone in Location 1 two routes
off
their network.  The connections to the remote subnets are via T1 and
they
all connect to location 1 via a Cisco router which has no free
connections.

Must have goals:  eliminate proxy server, provide one route off of the
Location 1 subnet. Would like goals:  Avoid having Leaf as failure point
between subnet 1 and the remote subnets.  Avoid purchasing a new Cisco
router.

Unfortunately, it seems that my best option would be to put another
adapter
in the Leaf router, and renumber subnet 1, so that everything converges
at
leaf on the old subnet 1 address.  However, since I'm using old
commodity
hardware for that task, and internet connectivity is less important to
the
business

  Hi Paul,

 Do you have a strategy for doing this while remining compliant with the 
 terms of the software you have licensed (the GPL)?

  Yes, we have been very careful on that. Actually all of the code in
the core system (what you know as Lince) is under GPL, LGPL, BSD
except antivirus (if used). We have done some improvements to some of
the GPL apps used but they are in the core too as GPL (of course).

  MarteGUI is just a manager that connects to a system, donwloads a
config database, parses new configuration files, copies them to the
system and restarts services as needed. In essence, it mimics the
commands the admin executes. That way we dont have problems with GPL.

 Netgear and linksys are two very profitable organizations who produce 
 GPL derived router products and release the source code and development 
 kits for their GPL based products.

  Actually we are thinking on using their hardware to port our software
solution. BTW, we have done the same with a Crossbeam X40 system :)

[leaf-user] [Slightly OT] ICMP et al

2005-06-28 Thread Erich Titl

Hi folks

As the subject suggests, this is a bit off topic, but as a LEAF system 
is involved please excuse me.
I am baffled by the behaviour of a M$ application (IIS) on a customer 
network.
This network is a hub and spoke structure built with Bering glibc 
routers. Some of the locations use DSL, others cable modem. The spokes 
are IPSEc connections to the hub network. In The hub network there is a 
IIS server with a WEB application.
A client system on one of the client networks requests a page (or rather 
a web based application) on the server. I can observe the normal packet 
flow between client and server untilthe server tries to send a 
packet of size 1452 bytes to the client (with DF bit set). I _believe_ 
IPSEC decides that this packet is too large to be passed to the other 
side so the Bering system sends an ICMP fragmentation needed package to 
the server with a size proposal of 1319 bytes.


I would expect the server to reduce the packet size accordingly but 
helas it does not. Am I just naive to expect M$ to follow or is it 
compulsory only to respect ICMP?


Thanks

Erich

Hello CPU,

Regardless, I'd say that at the very, very least... a CF/HDD image
would make things a lot easier for a lot of people. -cpu

Bering-uClibc provides initrd packages for HDD/CF, CD and USB (stick) booting. 
The only thing you have to do is put syslinux on your boot device.

You have to have Path MTU discovery enabled:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/randz/protocol/path_mtu_discovery.asp 



quote
# EnablePMTUBHDetect. This value adjusts the PMTU discovery algorithm to 
attempt to detect noncompliant routers, also called PMTU black hole 
routers. PMTU black hole detection is disabled by default but can be 
enabled by adding this value to the registry key and setting it to 1.
# EnablePMTUDiscovery. This value enables or disables the PMTU discovery 
mechanism, helping to diagnose problems with black hole routers. PMTU 
discovery is enabled by default but can be disabled by adding this value 
to the registry key and setting it to 0.


PMTU discovery is enabled so that the two sides of a conversation can 
negotiate the most efficient MTU. When PMTU discovery is disabled, an 
MSS of 536 bytes and an MTU of 540 bytes are used for all nonlocal 
destination addresses.

/quote

This definitely is not the case, as the address is non local and the 
size is  540





...and you have to enable the appropriate ICMP message to pass through all
routers involved (many folks just 'black hole' all ICMP traffic, and assume
there are no side effects, like broken Path MTU discovery).


The next hop router from the server generates the apropriate ICMP message.



NOTE:  The MS page above indicates Microsoft is doing the proper thing with
Path MTU discovery, but that's for server 2003.  IIRC, you had to 
explicitly

enable PMTU discovery for older (ie: 2K  maybe XP) Microsoft systems
(motto: We can steal^h^h^h^h^h appropriate the BSD networking stack, but we
still don't know how to do TCP/IP...besides, who uses a WAN!?!).


Well  yes.

Thank you.
First off, I don't actually _own_ a WRAP board (I own several soekris 
boards, and I most likely will order a few WRAP boards some time soon, 
but so far, all that I've actually used are soekris boards), so take all 
of what I say with the proverbial grain of salt. But I think I can 
shed at least a little light on your questions - and hopefully somebody 
else will be able to provide a more complete answer.


There's no need to worry about screen/keyboards - those kinds of things 
run off a serial console - so simply plug in any PC or Laptop using a 
crossover serial cable, and you can control it using a serial terminal 
(minicom if you're using Linux, or one of the various tools on Windows - 
I recommend teraterm, since it's free and works, which can't be said of 
Hyperterminal, at least in my experience). The biggest hurdle here is 
finding the proper terminal settings (default should be 9600 8N1 - but 
as I said, I haven't used a WRAP box yet). It _should_ be mentioned in 
the manual though.


Regarding the wireless stuff - as far as I know, all WRAP boards come 
with mini-pci slots (I don't recall any with PC-Card slots) - so buying 
equipment at Best Buy might be a challenge (but who knows - it's been a 
while since I shopped there, so they might even have mini-pci equipment 
these days). If you don't mind ordering online, you can find mini-pci 
gear at various places - like http://www.netgate.com/ 
http://www.demarctech.com/ or http://metrix.net/metrix/ (and tons of 
other places too - those are just as an example, off the top of my 
head). Getting mini-pci stuff at larger chains can often be difficult, 
mainly because they usually don't sell the antenna+pigtail needed (at 
least here in Germany). I've used the cards from netgate with great 
success on various soekris boxes (and netgate now even sells WRAP 
boxes...), but that obviously doesn't mean that other sources don't work 
just as well.


One last bit of advice - when using embedded boards like the WRAP (or 
the soekris boards), make sure you get a suitable power supply 
(preferrably the one the maker of the board suggests, not something you 
happen to have lying around in your electronics junk box). Most of the 
problems I've seen on the various mailing lists are due to marginal 
power supplies (marginal in the sense that they provide enough power for 
average usage, but fail and cause the box to crash/lock up if for some 
reason power consumption jumps up).


To get going (the easy way), the only thing else you need is a CF card 
reader (if you don't want to boot with PXE - I don't know if the WRAP 
boards support that), so you can transfer the base image to the compact 
flash card (it's also convenient to get your box back up and running if 
you've mis-configured it in a way that it will no longer boot - it's 
happened to me a few times, and being able to pop in the CF into my 
desktop and fix things saved a lot of time).


I hope that helps

Martin

Hello Eric,

I know these packages exist and it is easy to setup. But there are
still too many steps envolved for the average n00b. Consider for a
moment, a prospective user: one must first decide which packages to
use:

dropbear/openssh? ipsec/openvpn? dhcpcd/dnsmasq?
shorwall.lrp/iptables.lrp (confusing for those who don't [yet] know
shorewall is a highlevel frontend to iptablets)

Once this is determined, one has to shuffle disks and type all those
strange/foreign unix commands (4.3. Create a bootable HD). Run
syslinux, copy/modify syslinux.cfg and leaf.cfg. One simple typo and
the system won't boot. Where to seek help; the leaf mailing list? I
doubt it. This is too intimidating already.

Anyhow, I guess what I'm really suggesting is to have a standard
(8-12MB?) CF/HD image with the package-equivalent of say a snapgear or
m0n0wall. Enough to boot a feature rich leaf distro. -cpu

I am using Leaf and have rolled out six leaf boxes so far!

Hmm how about someone compiling a ulogd module for bering-uclibc that has 
mysql support so I can have shorewall log packets to mysql :)

Could make some very nice php web graphing to go with it..

*grin*

I have tried but not being a programmer, really have no idea what I'm doing

Cheers

Hmm let me rephrase that..

Not knowing what to do with ulogd *grin*, I know my way round php/mysql just 
fine.
So I'm just after ulogd compiled with the mysql plugin working. (something 
about static linking but I have no idea what that means).


Then I can build my own php/mysql interface LOL..

*ugh* it's been a long day...
