Gurus,

I put a startup link viz ;

ln -s /etc/init.d/pppoe-server /etc/rc2.d/S85pppoe-server

but on save-and-reboot, it has gone !

How do I add a startup link for runlevel 2 ?

Version is leaf-wisp-dist (latest)

TIA,
Steve
p.s.  I can't figure how to say how much I like this little distro, so 
I'd just like to say "thank you."  awesome.  P8-)

Gurus,

two issues ;

I need a leaf router to securely get the correct time from my core server.

I would like to broadcast / make available time to the connected 
wireless subnets.

Which LRP packages ?   Docs for this ?

[leaf-user] adding iproute2 policy on boot

2003-06-03 Thread Steve Wright
Gurus,

I have built a script that configures iproute2 on my LEAF box.  I tried 
placing this script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ and then backing up - which 
saves my script quite nicely.

When I "restart networking" from the menu I notice this script being run 
more than once, when ideally it should be run once on boot / 
network-restart.

What is the best way to hook this script in ?

Basically, it wget's a conf file from a private LAN, and executes it, 
loading extra addresses, routes into tables, rules etc.  The Interface 
facing the core is not touched by the script - it is set and left in the 
inital config (too many times during testing I lost contact with the 
router due to slipups.)  Only user-facing interfaces are configured.

TIA,
Steve

Does anyone have a working pppoe-server running ?

I have pppoe-server accepting connections but pppd dies and pppoe-server 
spawns another.
I am thinking it is a pppd config problem.

Hi all friends !

What good news !
I was very busy this two last weeks, and not the time to check the rp-pppoe.lrp from 
our good friend Jacques Nilo.
Dear Steve, could you, please, send us a copy of your rp-pppoe.lrp config files to see 
exactly how to do with them and win some time
?
I don't have it packaged up for you, but here are the configs ;

here we go ;

Remember, I have a 32MB DOM, so this may not fit on a floppy leaf.

install Jacques' pppoe.lrp package.  It would not install on my 
leaf-wisp, so I copied the components of the lrp manually and then used 
the menu 'save' to save to DOM - it worked!  

Untar the package the package like this ;

mkdir temp
cd temp
tar -xvzf /pppoe.lrp
Now you need these entries in the following files ;

# /etc/ppp/options
dump
asyncmap 0
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
noipx
noauth
# cat /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options
require-pap
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 2
In /etc/modules you need these.  Make sure all other instances of these 
modules are commented out.  If these modules are loaded in the wrong 
order it will not work.

#modules needed for pppoe-server (in this order)
slhc
ppp_generic
ppp_async
Put some users in the /etc/pap-secrets file like this ;

# cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
# This is a pap-secrets file
#
#papname * papsecret *
test*   test*
user*   pass*
bob* secret   *
Create this file, like this ;

You are done!  Now save it all.

select "save" and write it all to DOM.
reboot and test.

onlist and I can assist.

[leaf-user] ssh - key only - no password

2003-06-08 Thread Steve Wright
Gurus,

I am trying to get my LEAF-WISP 2591 to ssh out, and to accept ssh 
connections and auth with key only.  The routers must be able to 
load/change/reload policy (addresses, routes, rules) on command from the 
core but this is insecure without ssh.  (I can cron a passworded wget 
off the core httpd, but not secure.)

I have read a number of HOWTOs on doing this but it still refuses.  

My question is ;

Will the ssh/sshd on 2591 do key-only (no password) auth, incoming and 
outgoing  ?

If it does, then I have a config error and I will continue working on it.

TIA, and kind regards,
Steve

Re: [leaf-user] Improving wireless link

2003-06-04 Thread Steve Wright
Charles,

On the basis that there is some distance involved ;  (an assumption)

My understanding is that some of the cheaper (dlink in particular) 
wireless gear has 'timing issues' when the A/Ps are physically far apart.

In the extreme, you will have to go to a proprietry fix, viz turbocell, 
or replace the A/Ps with something a little more tolerant of distance.

802.11 was never intended to travel great distances.  Indeed it was part 
of the 802.11 specification to actually prevent (ha ha) this from 
happening - the reason for the proprietry RF connectors.

In summary, many standard 802.11 wireless cards will do great distances 
without getting flaky, but I have heard that the dlink gear is not of 
that category.  Other cards such the Orinoco PC-cards combined with 
turbocell work very well indeed at distances up to 20km, and provide 
true data rates in the order of 9MBit/sec (I am told).  I don't like the 
idea of proprietry *anything*, and I wish there was an open-source 
'turbocell'.

In answer to your question, I do not think there is a device you can put 
on the ends of a leaky hose - to make the hose not leak.

sorry.  I hope someone else has a different version to tell.  8-(

Charles Steinkuehler wrote:

I've built an IPSec VPN tunnel over a point-point wireless link using 
a couple of D-Link DWL-900AP+ boxes and some spare ports on a couple 
of installed LEAF boxes.

My problem is I'm seeing *LOTS* of packet loss, duplicate packets, 
mangled packets (especially longer packets typical of downloads and 
web browsing), and other nastiness making performance across the 
wireless link virtually unusable, despite a fair amount of bandwidth.

It seems to be fairly well known that TCP doesn't handle the bursty 
packet loss typical of wireless networks very well, having instead 
been designed for packet loss typical for congested wired networks 
(where partly garbled packets are quite rare).  I have seen a few 
proposed mechanisms that operate at layer 3, monitoring the TCP 
traffic, and "fiddling" with the TCP flow to improve TCP performance 
(by doing things like requesting re-transmissions of packets that look 
like they got dropped by the wireless link).

Now for my question:  Does anyone know of a linux implementation of 
anything like the above I could possibly get running on a LEAF box? 
Since I'm tunneling all traffic through a leaf box on each end, it 
seems like I could implement something to "transparently" deal with 
the lossy wireless hop, but since I'm kind of new to the whole 
wireless thing, I'm not sure what software I'm looking for, or if it 
even exists.

Of course I'm also looking at what options I have for increasing the 
fundamental reliability of the wireless link as well, but I'd still 
like to find something that can "tweak" TCP operation for running over 
wireless.

Thanks for any pointers,

A very nice little package.  /me bows to the developers.

btw, I am writing a few bash scripts that run on standard RedHat 7/8/9. 
My Intent is build a 'core' server that can handle a bunch of remote 
routers.

So far I have written ;

a wrapper script for ssh that does `push  <"command">`

a setup script that contacts a new router, checks name resolution etc 
etc with it, and then uploads ssh keys so the router can be commanded 
with `push` and no password.

Next I will be building more scripts to manage client connections and 
routing policy on said routers, and hopefully automate most things so I 
do not have to log on to the routers and manage everything by hand.

If anyone wants to participate, perhaps we might work together on an 
appropriate list.

Hi Jose,

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/testing/atmtools.lrp

 I am using this package because I am trying to use
an ATM NIC card
(ForeRunner ATM Adapter), but I am having some
problems that maybe you can help me with.
You will almost certainly need a kernel module for the specific card. 
It is unlikely that "any old module will do" for ATM adapters.

It seems that this card has the PCA200e chipset.  It is very widely used 
for Linux and indeed my RedHat system supports it out-of-the-box.

You didn't search google for it did you?  8-)  tsk tsk.  ALWAYS search 
google.. rant rant.. trails off...
http://www.google.com/search?q=ForeRunner+ATM+Adapter+kernel+module

To test, download some modules and try roughly poking them in.  Keep 
trying until one initializes the card.  You do have the card installed ay ?

1) First I install the module to control the atm Nic
called "nicstar.o"
insmod pca200e


 Another thing is that the command Ifconfig doesn´t
work (It says "ifconfig: not found"). 

Modern tools are used on LEAF.  8-)

# ip address add
# ip address list
# ip route add (mostly not required if you put /24 on the address in `ip 
address add` or you are doing something more complex.
# ip route list


Another question that I have now, because ifconfig 
doesn´t work is how I can do in the /etc/interfaces to
add the lines to configure
the atm Nic automaticly.. you know we have something
for eth0, eth1.. br0... but 
what do I have to do for the atm Nic?

Get the correct kernel module in, and see what interface appears when 
you do `ip addr ls`

2) I am using the packages vlan.lrp and bridge.lrp
too. For these packages I had
to install two modules 8021q.o for vlan.lrp and
bridge.o, Do I have to install any
extra module for atmtools.lrp?
no.  You will need to pull the atmtools.lrp apart and swap the modules 
so the package loads the pca200 module.
Yell if you don't know how to do this.

insmod: unresolved symbol gr_is_capable
so if later I do insmod nicstar.o it tells me that
idt7105.o doesnt work, of course.
Two things ;

Are you sure that nicstar.o is the correct module for your card ?

"gr_is_capable" is from GRE?? Do you need ip_gre.o first ?

[leaf-user] help: ricoh carrier + Orinoco gold

Guys,

WISP-DIST (probably latest, but very recent at least)

I have a ricoh carrier, viz ,

kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.2.3
kernel:   kernel build: 2.4.20 #8 Sat Dec 21 14:54:58 EET 2002

cardmgr[1911]: watching 1 sockets

and a Lucent/Orinoco Gold PC card - PC24E-H-FC

The system boots fine with the carrier in a PCI slot, but inserting the 
PC card locks the local console hard.  It appears that the machine has 
halted at this point.  Removing the card instantly reboots the router.

any help, etc, appreciated.  regards, Steve.

[leaf-user] securing wireless links

2003-07-11 Thread Steve Wright
Gurus,

WISP-DIST (latest) on 500MHz VIA EPIA

What are my options for securing a wireless backbone link ?  I will be 
trunking a number of scopes over these links.
Also, we are going to try VoIP, and hopefully the EPIA will have enough 
power to push the VoIP through an encrypted link.

I have had a play with IPSec, but I'm getting this ;
Trouble openning PF_KEY family socket with error: Algorithm support not 
available in the kernel.  Please compile in support.

I'm not fixating on IPsec - I am willing to give anything a spin.

any comments ?

TIA,
Steve

[leaf-user] wireless LAN security

2003-07-17 Thread Steve Wright
Hi Folks,

What are we using to secure single point-to-point links? - viz WEP, but 
actually secure..

AIUI, Ad-Hoc mode must be used for backbones, but this leaves security 
to be done at the IP level - not really good enough.

I have read-up on IPSec, but that seems to be about tunneling all the 
routers to a central point, or maintaining multiple IPsec dedicated 
links per router, which is either horribly wasteful on bandwidth, or 
horribly complicated to configure/maintain.

8-/  I wonder with the opportunistic approach might be used - with each 
router IPSec forward to the next one.

anyone doing this ?  I need a few pointers.

TIA,
Steve

3c589_cs is the Ethernet module there. It's a 3Com nic; all of their

Your eth0 should configure nearly instantly, or else something is amiss. 
Here is your problem to solve, IMO.
Perhaps post a bit more diagnostics of this phase of the bootup.


	Restarting networking, esp eth0, brings it up fine, and then I can 
manually launch dhcpd, after which all responds as it should.  I'm able to 
ping the eth0 address (192.168.1.254) both from itself and from another

Try these things ;

Start from scratch, with a perfectly clean image and have another go.

Write a little script that that restarts the network - basically what

I wrote a set of scripts that configure the router.  A controlling core
server may push a configuration onto a router, or the router may collect
its configuration at boot - whichever is relevant.

All configuration is done on the core server.  However, you must be
completely familiar with how to configure LEAF by hand as there is no
frontend to this yet, so it may be over-complex for your situation.

I would suggest you wrote a small script in rc.local and executed the
commands you need.

ahh, some fool wants to run VoIP don't they..  h..  And then then

it all work over a 4mbit/sec 11b link.

and then, there are a couple of other scopes running on the same netcs0

My problem is, I do not know enough about htb to build this by hand, and
I found htb.init.

I am afraid I do not use many of the menus on my leaf box.  The routers
are all configured remotely and automatically from the core.  The core

request their entire configuration on boot.

[leaf-user] PXE/Etherbooting WISP-DIST ?

2003-08-14 Thread Steve Wright
Hi All,

since WISP-DIST runs read-only off a flash disk, has anyone thought of
PXE booting a box (LTSP style http://ltsp.org ) and having WISP-DIST
install itself into RAM ?

The proceedure should be roughly equivalent to grabbing the packages off
DOM and unpacking them into RamDisk.

Sure, the unit will not be 'standalone' (can't boot by itself) but in
many situations this will make any old POS hardware into a router,
without even a flash module or a floppy..


cheers,
Steve

htb.init was designed for the bash shell.  It won't work on ash as in
LEAF.

I tried it on WISP-DIST and it does not work.. same problem as you have.

I am now examining tcng 
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Traffic-Control-tcng-HTB-HOWTO/

tcng is a very powerful config generator for tc, and it fits well with
my desire to backend the routers entirely.

Yes it worked.  It was not htb.init but something different.

None of these scripts provide the functions I need - that is, for the
Server to specify and dynamically load policy for the routers, and
therefore I am looking at tc-ng + tcc.

I'm not keen on the soekris gear.  It looks awfully expensive for what
it is.

The main thing about the wrap1a, is it will take two mini PCI cards
onboard, and these cards are only US$50 here (100 bucks local $) which
is dead cheap.

12VDC, 0.5A, two 10/100, two miniPCI wireless interfaces.. for around
US$250.. ??  nearly unbeatable.

8-/ I wouldn't mind USB too, but a couple of ethernet/wireless bridges
on the end of some cat5 is all good.. if not better.

Hi Bino.

You might consider using a USB Hard Disk, and attach it with a CF-USB

The pcengine board has no IDE adapter.  An adapter CF-IDE is required to

Depends what you want to do with it.  As George says, wireless is not
remotely secure, so you should only run secured protocols, or irrelevant
protocols over it.

You must not plug a WAP directly into your internal firewalled LAN
without taking substantial precautions.

I have my WAP on a different network scope than my internal LAN, so
*nothing* is visible to wireless clients unless I enable a service
specifically.  ie ;

LAN scope 192.168.0.0/24
WAP scope 192.168.10.0/24

Now you may add IPs on the WAP scope to whatever services you want
available to the WAP.  Other hosts and services are invisible.  This is
far easier than firewalling everything.

Both scopes run simultaneously on the same network cabling.


HTH,
Steve

That is one school of thought.  It is no different, as far as the kernel
is concerned.  Not better, just different, and easier to understand from
the hardware point of view.  Modern networking techniques make this
approach obsolete, however.

If you buy a complete Wireless Access Point, and configure it as a
bridge, and attach an IP address that is outside the scope of your
internal LAN, then there is no way any communication will take place
from the wireless scope to the internal LAN scope.  The WAP just does
not have the know-how to bridge an IP that is no on its' scope.

Then, configure only the services you need to listen on the WAP scope.

Example ;

Your Internal Wired LAN is - 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0

Your WAP (bridging mode) IPaddress = 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Now configure your squid proxy to listen on 192.168.10.254
Add a dhcpd entry to allocate addresses on the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet

>From your wireless LAN, there will ONLY be one working address on the
LAN, and that will be the squid proxy, for which you will need a
password to use.

Carefully enable other secured services as required, viz sshd.

Your Internal LAN is now separate from your WAP LAN, yet they use the
same cabling, and you haven't needed to write one single iptables entry.


The above example should just 'work', but there will likely be issues
since it was off the top of my head.
This is "iproute2" networking, or otherwise called "policy routing".

Later on, if you are so inclined, you can fiddle with this some more, by
adding rules and multiple routing tables on the basis of "Routing
Policy".  Rarely do you need to return to iptables to set Networking
Policy.  Networking is fun again..  8-))


HTH,
Steve

Yes, you can use a separate NIC, but then the AP must be next to the
Bering Router, or run a new long cable.  This is inconvenient, and is
not required, unless the AP *is* right next to the Bering Box.

These are scopes ;

10/8
172.16.1/24
192.168.0.0/24

You may run multiple scopes on one subnet(network cable/switch/NIC) and
add rules about who may talk to who.
It can be complicated at first, but it is very powerful, and much easier
than heaps of iptables entries.

Do you want to balance on each *packet* or each *connection*  ?

This will equalize each *packet* ;

ip route add equalize default \
   nexthop via DSL1-IP dev eth1 \
   nexthop via DSL2-IP dev eth1

yes, you may balance on the basis of connection, or on the basis of
packet.  In fact, you may do any type of
routing/balancing/unidirectional/bidirectional thing you might like to
do.

The following will route each *packet* out a different port.

ip route add equalize default \
   nexthop via DSL1-IP dev eth1 \
   nexthop via DSL2-IP dev eth1


If you remove the word "equalize", then it will send each alternate tcp
stream out each port.

DSLn-IP are the addresses of your DSL connections, and eth1 is the
assumed local interface pointing at your DSL modems.


please report your success and/or problems with this, so I may amend
etc.

WRT routing, my understanding is, NAT is completed before the default
route is evaluated, so everything should proceed as usual.

There can be 'issues' with 'equalize' when the link latencies are
different by an order of magnitude.  something about re-assembling out
of order or something, so I would say your surmising is correct.  In
this case, equalize by tcp-stream only.  hrm, I am the newbie here, so
do not consider me to be a reliable source (yet 8-).

this mostly means that hostap.o needs another module inserted first.

I hoped to examine my /etc/modules and tell you which modules, and in
what order they are inserted, but all hostap entries are commented out,
but the router has been running a prism2 card in hostap mode for months!
Somewhat puzzling, but a different subject.

How is the xi-626 connected ?  Do you use a cardbus<-->PCI adapter

be careful 'dd'ing images to a flash disk.  it's kinda easy to trash the

The command above is perfectly valid - you do not need to add an
interface name..

It may be as Bino says, or it might be that it knows nothing of the
172.26.1.1 address.

Check that 172.26.1.1 is a member of a global scope on this router, that
is, it fits inside a scope such as 172.26/16 on an existing interface.

I am considering the same, and I am wondering about CIPE.  RedHat and
others package CIPE and include a GUI Wizard to set it up.  Very tidy.

I understand openvpn works over a ssh tunnel.  If this is true, then I
understand that are issues with doing this - it is not a good thing to
do.

ipsec would be the best, and with full opportunism, probably the easiest
to maintain.  ipsec is difficult for newbies, as I can assure you.

CIPE is probably the next best, followed by openvpn, on the assumption
that openvpn runs over an ssh tunnel.


Hopefully others may shed light, as I could do with some guidance also.



best regards,
Steve
