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

2005-07-04 Thread Harry Lachanas
Hello there..

I am in the process of building a site in order to monitor health and
connectivity and services of other friend sites.
Pretty much like http://websitepulse.com .
This will include HTTP, HTTPS, ftp, SMTP, POP etc ( user defined ).
This mainly will involve a lot of wget usage.
Any ideas around the above aspect will be wellcomed and appreciated.

One of the problems I am faced with is the routing problem.

I am planning to use an LRP box with 2-3 aDSL lines on it from different
ISPs.

One question would be:

Is there a way that a different line would be used every time the system
monitors a random site ?

One answer is to place a job in  crontab file and change the default gateway
say every hour which I dont like that much.

What I would like is, based upon which site I am about to monitor to select
the appropriate default gw pretty much like wget was running on the LRP box
with the option
---bind-address=ADDRESS  When making client TCP/IP connections, bind() to
ADDRESS on the local machine. ADDRESS may be specified as a hostname or IP
address. This option can be useful if your machine is bound to multiple IPs

But wget is not supposed to run on the LRP box.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.

Harry.

Re: [leaf-user] openvpn and passwords

According to: 
http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2004-10/msg00418.html

the openvpn system allows a user/password to be configured.

I did not see any mention of passwords on:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/bucu-openvpn.html

Is there any LEAF package that allows one to maintain a list of users
and passwords and code that can be used as an authentication module
for openvpn ?


You should consider using X.509 Certificates for Authentification. 
Certificates provide higher security than passwords and allow the users 
to change their passphrase without the need to change any passwords on 
the leaf-box.
