[Leaf-user] How to configure dnscache in Oxygen?

2001-12-11 Thread Dr. Richard W. Tibbs

Hi.
I am trying to use the latest Oxygen with the firewall data disk as a 
second disk.
Everything boots up fine (using IBM aptiva doorstop as my firewall 
device, with 2 netgear ethernet NICs).
When asked to configure the system, I answer yes, and I get an edit 
session of a script to kick off dnscache.

What do I do here? I have looked at some dnscache how-to's at linux 
on-line, but not sure if there is any
specific thing I should do here. Not even sure how to exit the 
emacs-emulated editor  ;-)

Is there a complete soup-to-nuts how to on config of Oxygen?

I have read thru the Leaf how-to's including xDSL (but it seems to be 
based on 2.9.4 with ifwadm instead of ipchains... hmmm..) 

Eventual goal is to run the firewall between my internal network (say 
eth0) and my DSL modem (eth1)
and have a secure internet connection.

Well, there are two things you mentioned here:

* How to configure dnscache... I don't know - I don't use it.
* How to exit the editor - now THAT I know :)

The editor shouldn't be emulating emacs.  However, here's how to exit
from emacs (what you said) and from vi (the Oxygen standard editor
mode):

* vi:  Hit (in sequence) ':q' and press enter.
* emacs:  Hit in sequence 'Ctrl-X Ctrl-C' ...

Both are two characters long (excluding return).

Oxygen aims to be as similar to standard UNIX (whatever that is :) as is
possible.

The only blight is the missing netstat / ifconfig / route; however,
those are available as add-on packages, and are not necessary to the
system's operation.
