My first attempts weren't I will mention that this is a weak request for information... you need to Sorry you think it is weak. Perhaps this will help: I followed the instructions in the Bering User's Guide for booting from a hard disk with a few exceptions. One is that the partition used was /dev/hda3, not /dev/hda1. Also make a habit of putting specific information like actual configuration files (at least the relevant portions, though judging that can get you in trouble too) and actual error messages. The requirements for loading LEAF are the ability to load the kernel and initrd image, and an MSDOS or ISO9660 filesystem (depending on version) to load packages from. I haven't used GRUB, but if it is like LILO it doesn't know how to dig the kernel and initrd images out of those funky partitions, which is the expertise of syslinux or isolinux. If you have a more appropriate filesystem for GRUB to pull these images off of, you might try separating them from the packages on their MSDOS partition and putting them in that location. Alternatively, you might add support for ext2 to the initrd image (/boot/lib/modules) and pull everything from an ext2 partition. I haven't done either of these things though, so if you _did_, your too-brief report has wasted time for both of us because your problem is more specific than this answer is. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . .

[leaf-user] Problem getting PPTP client to work behind LEAF/Bering firewall
I've been trying to set up a LEAF/Bering firewall at home to allow a connection to my employer's VPN (PPTP). Here is a rough picture of my connection: Win98 client --- Bering --- Router --- ISP --- Internet --- Company My internal network (Win98 - Bering) uses a private IP space (192.168.1.0/24). I'm connected to my ISP via a DSL connection in bridge mode, so my router also has a private IP (192.168.x.y, x != 1). The ISP then does NAT on that, so my packets are NAT'ed twice, once at the Bering firewall and again by my ISP. I've got a fairly straightforward Shorewall configuration on the Bering box, defining just two zones (net and loc). Outgoing traffic from loc to net is allowed, related traffic is allowed back in. RFC1918 addresses are not allowed to flow from net - loc, except for those on my bridge connection (192.168.x.y) to the ISP. What I see happening is that packets coming back from the company are getting rejected by the norfc1918 rule, as shown by the trace below (just two messages are shown, I get a bunch more but they are all pretty much the same): Nov 9 02:29:15 firewall kernel: Shorewall:rfc1918:DROP:IN=eth1 OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.p.q DST=192.168.1.1 LEN=56 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=253 ID=20062 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=3 CODE=1 [SRC=192.168.x.y DST=a.b.c.d LEN=50 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=125 ID=28417 PROTO=47 ] Nov 9 02:29:18 firewall kernel: Shorewall:rfc1918:DROP:IN=eth1 OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.p.q DST=192.168.1.1 LEN=56 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=253 ID=20068 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=3 CODE=1 [SRC=192.168.x.y DST=a.b.c.d LEN=50 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=125 ID=28929 PROTO=47 ] In these traces, a.b.c.d is the IP for my company's PPTP server, 192.168.1.1 is the (internal) IP for my Win98 client, 192.168.x.y is the IP of my firewall (ISP side), and 192.168.p.q is (I think; p != x != 1) the private IP being used inside my company's LAN (i.e., on the other side of the PPTP server). I'm not sure how to read the log message, but it appears to me that the part in the brackets is either an indicator of the GRE wrapper for the packet or the original packet that is related to the incoming packet. In any case, it appears that the filtering rules are keying on the private IP from inside my company and rejecting the packet. What I don't understand is why the packet isn't marked as coming from the PPTP server. I should note that I have the ip_conntrack_pptp and ip_nat_pptp modules loaded. Also, I've been told that I can't do this successfully due to the fact that my external (i.e., the router) address is a private, non-routable IP and that I have to get (and pay for) a real static IP in order to get this to work. What I want to know, though, is why. If it were really the case that my non-routable IP were the problem, I would have expected the packets to never even reach me. Any light that can be shed on this situation would be greatly appreciated. If I really need to buy an external IP, I will, but right now I'm not convinced that even that would work.

[leaf-user] Boot LEAF/Bering from HD with GRUB?
Hi, I've got a system that I'm just starting to use with LEAF/Bering. It also has other O/S installed on it and I'm using GRUB. Can someone tell me (or point me to info about) how to boot LEAF with GRUB? My first attempts weren't successful. Thanks. -- David A.
