Re: Sendmail and /etc/mail/access

What you really want is a POP-Before-SMTP or SMTP-AUTH setup.

Do a google search on DRAC, as a POP-Before-SMTP solution.  I haven't done 
anything with SMTP-AUTH, yet.

imap on RH7.1

[Julian Opificius]

Hi folks,

I have a friend trying to set up an ipop server on a RH7.1 install, and 
we're not having much success.
Myself, I have 7.2 running, and the imap service provides both imap and 
ipop services. Was that also true for 7.1?
How do I start the imap service in 7.1 once the RPM is 
loaded?

Many thanks,

Julian.

Yes, running go-gnome does change you desktop to the Ximian format.  It's

Re: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device

Thanks!

I solved the issue with depmod -ae. But, for the records, the first 
possible solution I got was:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom AND
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

solved the error initially, BUT, after I reinstalled everything, it did 
not work (???, I installed the same packages with exactly the same 
hardware!!!).

Thanks a lot again.

Late to this thread, so my apologies if this was already pointed out, 
but there's another, more general, reason to not run as root: by doing 
so, you're blowing away the division of privileges that is the reason 
we don't have a virus/trojan problem in the Unix world.  

Consider, for example, the consequences of malicious Javascript when
running as dtalk vs running as root.  The reason Windows boxes are
wide open is because -- despite the fact that NT-class systems are
more than capable of separating privilege at the OS level -- nearly
everyone runs as an administrator, and a lot of Win32 software simply
won't work any other way.

It's a paradigm problem fostered by many years of Win9x thinking.
Don't bring it with you to Linux.

Re: Ethernet help

[Michael Oatman]

I looked up you IP address on http://www.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl
and it returned:

[snip]
   Netname: COVAD-IP-2-NET
   Netblock: 66.134.0.0 - 66.134.255.255
[...]
   NS1.LASERLINK.NET208.230.117.66

[...]
   Reassignment information for this block of addresses can be found at
rwhois://rwhois.laserlink.net:4321/
[snip]

Since this is a commercial entity, and I very much doubt you are an employee but 
rather a customer
who has been assigned a 29-bit subnet block (8 static IP addresses, right?) as 
evidenced by your
netmask of 255.255.255.248.  This would mean that your network address is 
66.134.88.32, your
broadcast address is 66.134.88.39, and one of the IP addresses from 66.134.88.33 to 
66.134.88.38
is your gateway.  Usually, (in 3 of the 3 ISPs with which I have dealt for 29-bit 
subnets, being
Qwest and 2 local Tucson ISPs) in this configuration, the gateway is the next highest 
IP to the
broadcast address, which, in your case would be gateway=66.134.88.38.

Try that.  If that doesn't work, go through sequentially and try them all in your 
block (the other
5 addresses for gateway, that is).  For further assistance *only if* this is something 
like your
config *and* you have xDSL thru Covad or subsidiaries, could I help you further *if* 
you provide
the following:

To what is your network card connected?  If it's a Cisco 6xx DSL router, I can 
definitely help.
There are tests you can do on the router, if that's what you have, to see if it's 
working.

However, this kind of help would be *MAJORLY OFF TOPIC* for this list, so please email 
me

Sendmail and /etc/mail/access

[Matthew Simpson]

It seems the that /etc/mail/access file only likes IPs and not fully 
qualified domain.

Does anyone have a solution so that a host with a dynamic IP such as 
host.dyndns.org could possibly do a nslookup host.dyndns.org and then 
append the  /etc/mail/access file and then do a make -C /etc/mail/

Any help and scripts would be great

Ethernet address question.

[Graeme Jensen]

I'm planning to set up a home Ethernet of three computers.  I'd like to set
it up so all three users can surf the net and receive individual emails.  I
plan to have two machines using red hat 7.2, (one will have an internet
connection and be the web, print and mail server for the network)  and
another with windows 98.  I've been reading about assigning addresses and am
still a little confused.  Do I assign the addresses myself based on my
internet providers' address (class A,B, or C) or can I assign any name
(number) I like.   Or do I ask the provider to set that up.  Any advice
would be welcome.

That's not my experience.  What I've found to be key is to be CERTAIN to
do and MD5SUM check on the iso images before burning the CD.  Also,
whatever software is used...XCDRoast, Windows stuff, etc, be sure to
burn AS AN IMAGE.  If this is done, disc one will boot...assuing the
bios supports it.

What is actually worse...and I've had this happen...it to have a
bootable disc which is corrupt and screws up the installation.  Again,
this is prevented...by MD5SUM.  man MD5SUM is your friend!

Logging in and actually running your session as root is a bad idea
because a simple slip-up can be disastrous.  Say you're using your GUI
file manager and your mouse flakes out... you could seriously munge your
FS by dragging /bin into /boot.  Say you want to remove
/usr/bin/Abiword, but reaching for the shift key, you hit enter..
whoops, /usr/bin is gone.  Most common, I think, is something like:
rm -rf /usr/share/gimp *
And all of the files in the current directory are gone.

sudo won't protect you from all of your mistakes, but it can help a lot
if you practice typing your commands, proofreading them, CTRL+A (moves
cursor to the beginning of line) and *then* type "sudo".  At least you
won't have fat-fingered your way to restoring from backup.

It can be, but it's usually better than having the resource which would
otherwise require a password left unprotected.

For example, I use PostgreSQL, and I have a cron job that VACUUMs the
database every night.  Because this system is multi-user, I do not leave
the database's authentication method as "trust" for the local machine. 
That would allow any user to connect to the db with any privileges. 
Instead, the cron job has the password for the SQL admin account.

To make this somewhat secure, the file is owned by root.root, and is
mode 0600.  The password is not given to the vacuum process as an
argument, it's set in the environment so it never shows in 'ps'.  The
admin password for the SQL server is not used for any other services. 
Therefore, if someone got the password, it wouldn't give them any access
to any service other than the SQL server.  Because of the file's
permissions, the contents are only vulnerable against broken SUID
applications (like the glibc HOSTALIASES bug a while back) or someone
getting root access on the machine.  If the latter happens, I've got
bigger problems.

Another aspect of security you might want to consider is the principle
of least privilege.  If the file you're fetching doesn't need to be
stored by the root user, then schedule it under another user's
privileges.  If the file is world readable, for instance, you can even
change the ownership of the destination to allow an otherwise
non-privileged user to fetch the file.

As others have suggested, ftp probably isn't the best transfer method in
terms of security... or anything else for that matter.

Think of "root" as "the big hammer".  Its use should be reserved for
situations where no other solution is feasible.

RE: Ethernet help

[Richard Wilson]

Even if your netmask is wrong you should still be able to ping the gateway
since it is on the same segment. Did you try that? If that does not work, is
this for DSL or cable? Some ISP's require authentication (Point to Point
over Ethernet) and then encapsulate the traffic.

Hope this helps

Richard

GRUB should be on the boot block of the disk you boot from.  If your
motherboard supports booting from hdb, then GRUB can probably live there (I
haven't tested this).  If you can only boot off of hda, then that's where
GRUB should be.

Convince the DNS administrator that s/he's a moron.  Many services run
better, or only, if reverse DNS is functioning.  This doesn't necessarily
mean that every host has to be in there, but you *must* at least get a
response from the DNS server.

It's unlikely that this address will require a netmask of 255.255.255.0 -
that netmask is typically for a Class C address (192.x.x.x - 254.x.x.x.) .
You've got a class A address (1.x.x.x. - 128.x.x.x).  You should probably
use a netmask of 255.0.0.0 *unless* your network administrators have changed
the netmask for your subnet.  The only real way to know is to ask them.
Alternatively, if you have to guess, try setting yourself up as a dhcp
client and see what address and netmask you get back.

I gave up (on 7.1). Half of the stuff either conflicts with something
that's needed by something else that's already installed, or it
conflicts with something that I'm trying to install that has to be there
to get the other stuff to install. This is not only insane, it's dumb.
Everything needed should be in the same directory with what's being
attempted, especially with something as fragmented as gnome (and kde
sometimes).

My new motto is, if it takes more than a single level of dependencies, I
have no need of it. End _of_story!

I've been in charge of some application training at our community college in
the past.  The approach we always to was to work with the company to setup a
time, place and company trainer to visit the college for a planned training
session.  By working with the trainer, you become the local
representative/contact that can work with the trainer before, during and after
the training.  This model provides the company staff a familar face and one go
to person for problems down the road.  When the company go to person is
confronted with a problem (s)he cannot solve, they contact the
distro/application company for assistance.  As time goes on, you'll begin to
develop an idea of common problems and a possible additional training session.
These additional training sessions can focus on areas identified since the
first training session.
  For Linux, you should be able to find a company reasonably close to your
company that can provide some type of training.  Of course, there always the
possibility of going to the distro company to get an inhouse training session.
Both of these approaches might prove to be to costly for a small company.  If
so, there is always the other approach.  Identify a person or team that can be
trained.  Once trained they become the company trainers and initial support
group as the company ramps up a Linux community.
 Regardless of which approach you take, money, time and ROI(return on
investment) are things the bean counters need to have answers to.  Be ready to
go to work and become a go to person that is going to have an exciting growth
opportunity.
  Good Luck and enjoy this opportunity.

  Art

RE: spontaneous lag (x3)

[Vinny Valdez]

Funny, the exact same thing just happened to one of my servers today.
Nearly same symptoms, nearly same setup.  I'm running wu-ftpd (small ftp
site, internal only use), RH7.2, and updated the kernel today, but
before I even rebooted into the new kernel (2.4.9-31), all windows-based
ftp logins were all timing out.  I opened up an external route, and was
able to login externally just fine.

My /etc/resolv.conf uses internal M$ DNS servers, (not maintained by
me), that I know specifically do not have reverse dns setup.  In fact,
they never have, and the current admin thinks it's stupid to use reverse
dns.  But, forward dns works (all windows clients have registered
hostnames, and they are the ones ftping in).

I know what you're thinking, but what I'd like to know, is why it is
that for 4 or so months, internal ftp access was INSTANT, as was ssh.
But, starting today (I was assuming it was the kernel upgrade), ssh and
ftp are dog slow.  The only way I was able to ftp from windows clients,
was to add an entry to the hosts file.  Note: nothing has changed on the
M$ side affecting dns.

I did a little digging, and found this option for wu-ftpd in the man
page:
dns resolveroptions -recurse

I put that in my /etc/ftpaccess, and windows clients were able to ftp,
though after 10 seconds or so (not near as instant as before).  This
definitely has to do with reverse dns.  I rearranged my nsswitch.conf,
to no affect.  Rebooted into the new kernel, but everything was still
the same.  What gets me is that ssh is still slow. This is a desc I
found of why wu-ftpd used reverse dns:

http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/mail-archive/wuftpd-doc/2001/Sep/.h
tml

I was just about to setup an internal dns server and populate the zone
files with host1, host2...  entries, but with over 14 class c networks
all  on an internal network, this doesn't seem viable.  What really gets
me is that there IS dns zone files, with the correct info (I can do a
`host windozebox` and get an immediate return from M$ dns server, but
the reverse of course does not work).  I considered copying those zone
files, and running my own reverse dns, but is it really worth it?

Anyone else have any suggestions?

I seriously doubt a hack, as I run netfilter on this box, only allowing
ftp, ssh, and web, though all internally only, not to mention tripwire,
pix, ids, and various other things keeping baddies away.

relevant configs:

/etc/resolv.conf
search our.domain
nameserver ip.of.m$.ds
nameserver ip.of.m$.dns2

/etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return]

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
my.int.box.ip  servername


Thanks in advance,
Vinny

k
i tried out dnswalk

WARN: subdomain2.domain.com A 192.168.0.5: no PTR record
WARN: subdomain3.domain.com A 192.168.0.7: no PTR record

the nameserver is running on 192.168.0.4, and all all subdomains pointed
to that ip aren't giving me any issues.

in /var/named i have a file called db.subdomain.com and in that file are
references that look like this

subdomain1  IN  A   192.168.0.4
subdomain2  IN  A   192.168.0.5
subdomain3  IN  A   192.168.0.7

and in the same directory i have a file called "db.192.168.0" and it has
entries in it that look like this:

4.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.   IN   PTR   subdomain1.domain.com.
5.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.   IN   PTR   subdomain2.domain.com.
7.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.   IN   PTR   subdomain3.domain.com.

i'm sure i'm missing something

This is a known issue with the 7.2 release. An errata was made available 
shortly after 7.2 became available.

For the short term, 'depmod -ae' will solve the problem. Updating to the 
errata releases will solve it as well.

It was suggested that I try changing netmask to 255.255.255.0. Nothing
changed. 

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR= 66.134.88.36
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY= 66.134.88.33

I then tried /sbin/ifconfig and got the following:

eth0Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:01:04:F7:AB

Network Neighborhood

I would like for

When someone is dialed in, they can put in the use Find and the IP address of 
the Windows computer on the network to see it and even map the drives, however, 
nothing shows up in their Net Neighborhood.  Is this something to do with 
IPChains or what?

Hi Manuel,

Check the output of 'lsmod' for the cdrom module. If it's not there,
load it with 'modprobe cdrom'. I had the exact same problem right after
a fresh install of RH 7.2, and loading the cdrom module fixed it.

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but personally, I just change
/etc/fstab such that /mnt/cdrom is a mount point for /dev/scd0.  Then
'modprobe ide-scsi', and 'mount /mnt/cdrom'.  Joy ensues.

* I've also encountered that problem on my cpaq1200xl125; cdrom won't
  mount AFTER rh7.2 (enigma) is installed. I've issued:

  mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom  AND

  mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

  The device is a Toshiba  DVD-ROM SD-C2402, and I know it mounts
  during boot as /dev/hdc, and umounts /dev/hdc after installation
  is complete. It has been one of several issues with the "Designed
  for WIN98" laptops I use.

  Other than that, installation went flawlessly on this machine.

Hmmm.  I would have thought you would want to install grub on hda not
hdb.  Certainly you want grub to boot linux from hdb, but grub needs to
be installed on hda because hda is the drive that will be booted first. 
You could see if you can change the bios to boot from the second hard
drive rather than from the first to see if your system comes up. 
Otherwise, boot into repair mode with the RH 7.2 CDs and run
grub-install and tell it to install on hda.  I believe that the command
would be:
grub-install /dev/hda
I'm not absolutely sure about this - I use lilo.

RE: spontaneous lag (x3)

DNS uses name to IP and IP to name resolution files.  I have seen slow login
problems when the IP to name (reverse lookup) file is messed up.  Also when
a machine is using a bad/broken dns server in the /etc/resolv.conf file or
bad /etc/hosts file.

the oddest thing has been happening to the machines here in my office
for the past few months. most of the time, telnetd/sshd/ftpd all seem to
be working fine, but on three separate days in the last two months, an
odd lag has manifested itself during the login.  ie. it takes nearly a

time to ftp between either machines.  apache however, which both are

now i've emailed this list before with this question, but the problem
disappeared about 24hours after it started so i gave up on the thread. 
but now it's been recurring: the second time ocurring about a month

to rule out the previous suggestions, i can assure you all that i
haven't been playing with the firewall, because i haven't installed one.
(we're behind a firewall on a local network running private ips).  the
proftpd, telnetd, and sshd haven't changed since i installed them, so
i'm looking for suggestions as to what exactly is going on...

Trouble upgrading from 7.0 to 7.2

Hey everyone.

I have a machine at home that is currently running RH 7.0 and win 98 in a dual 
boot setup.  It has 2 hard drives.  hda is partitioned at 10GB fat for windows, 
and 5GB ext2 for RH.  hdb is 3gb all ext2.  They are both on IDE1 on my onboard 
ide controller.  IDE2 is dedicated to the CD-rom drive

I have tried to install RH 7.2, but it cannot get past the hda scan at startup. 
 one of the startup msgs recommends setting pci=biosirq, which I do at LILO.  
This gets it past the initial scan with several messages that go scrolling 
past, referring, I believe, to CRC check errors.  However, anaconda hangs 
trying to detect the drive later in the setup.  (for the record, Mandrake 8.1 
has the exact same problem, including setting the flag).

It was recommended that I turn off UDMA access to the drives, but that option 
is not available in my BIOS.  The hardware check at startup does show that both 
drives are using UDMA2.  My BIOS (amibios) does allow me to set PIO level, 
which is autosetting at 4 for both hdd's, and 3 for the cdrom.

My question (finally) is:  What is different that would cause 7.0 to function 
perfectly, but lock up 7.2 during initial bootup of the install?  Is there a 
kernel flag (or several) that I can set to give it better instructions as to 
what my hardware is?  Remember, 7.0 continues to work without any CRC errors or 
anything else at startup.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

(oh, btw, hda is an IBM hard drive)  Motherboard is a no-name generic with a 
cyrix MX 333 processor, 64MB RAM.

the oddest thing has been happening to the machines here in my office
for the past few months. most of the time, telnetd/sshd/ftpd all seem to
be working fine, but on three separate days in the last two months, an
odd lag has manifested itself during the login.  ie. it takes nearly a
full minute to telnet into a local rh6.2 machine. and about the same
time to ftp between either machines.  apache however, which both are
running seems to be working fine.  as is named.

now i've emailed this list before with this question, but the problem
disappeared about 24hours after it started so i gave up on the thread. 
but now it's been recurring: the second time ocurring about a month
after the first, and this time, today, about 2weeks after the second
time.

to rule out the previous suggestions, i can assure you all that i
haven't been playing with the firewall, because i haven't installed one.
(we're behind a firewall on a local network running private ips).  the
proftpd, telnetd, and sshd haven't changed since i installed them, so
i'm looking for suggestions as to what exactly is going on...
the dates this has happened in the past are below:

start   stop
2002.01.16  2002.01.17
2002.02.19  2002.02.20
2002.02.28  .??.??

and here's a list of the specs on the two machines:

sparc64
rh6.2
inetd
telnetd
proftpd 1.2.4
apache 1.3.20

pentiumI
rh7.2
xinetd
sshd
proftpd 1.2.4
apache 1.3.23


thanks so much to anyone out there who knows what's going on here.

error about anti-aliasing fonts

[Lewi]

this morning I updates all XFree86 and kde packages from redhat,
after I installed, i watched that when I using Anti-Aliasing for fonts and icons 
quality of fonts have decreased, not like from old XFree86 packages that
comes with redhat's CD.

Does anyone know why or maybe someones have same experience with me?

I'm using rh7.2 in my home and tnt2 as my display card.

Better ways to do this.  One is to create identical users on both machines
with the same password and then run your scripts with that ID, I did this
myself for downloads from a partner.  Better still use ssh with RSA
authentication between the machines, all traffic is encrypted.

Oh and please tell me you are not running the local machine as root <
Very bad thing to do.  Use sudo instead much better idea.

In some ways, yes.  You also have to ensure that the backups are similarly
protected, the tapes (if any) can't be taken offsite, and that there is no 
local physical access to anyone but you (physical access implies *total* access
to *all* your unencrypted data).  You also have to ensure that no untrusted
user has access to any of the packets between you and the remote server, or
they could sniff out the password and screw you.

Put up openssh on your remote server, set up some keys, and use scp to copy
the data back and forth.  Put up access controls that also restrict accesses
to your own site so that even if somebody stole your keys, they'd also have
to come from your current IP address.

If you insist on using ftp anyway, put an access restriction on the remote
server that only allows accesses from your IP address/host name.

RE: where can I find sys_read,sys_create...

[Matthews, John]

First, I think this question is a little off topic.  You would be
better suited posting to a kernel development site.

To answer your question.  I don't believe you want to use other
system calls inside your own system call.  
This is generally considered a bad idea.  On the other hand I think
you could benefit a lot from reading the source to sys_open and sys_write.
sys_open and sys_close are in kernelsource/fs/open.c
sys_write and sys_read are in kernelsource/fs/read_write.c

I don't think you'll need to look at any other system calls if you
just want to copy a file.  

Next time your looking for something in the kernel sources, try to
use grep, it should help you narrow down what your looking for.

You can add the system call as a module into the kernel.  You'll
have to "steal" one of the reserved system call numbers, 
for example you could do a "#define __NR_copyfile 230".  In kernel
2.4.17 they have system calls defined up to number 225, 
so I would suggest you choose a number after that.  Then in your
user application you would have to specify what your using for 
__NR_copyfile when you execute _syscallX() macro.

Good luck in your project,
John Matthews

This is indeed for the Advanced Server edition.

>From the CNET article, the key is that an ISO won't be available publicly. 
That doesn't necessarily mean the product license will be any different, 
but it does imply one would have to buy a box set to get the CDs. The 
question is does the rest fall under GPL, meaning does purchasing a box 
set a) include all the source b) allow installation to any number of PCs.

In theory, if the thing is GPL, I should be able to buy one box set and 
distribute an ISO image made from said CDs. Of course, I couldn't all 
it Red Hat due to trademark infringement. But, IANAL, so who knows. :)


I think it is VERY important Red Hat be very clear about this, especially
when asking the public to Beta test AND bug report on the thing. I looked
on the pensacola list, the question about the ISO has been raised and not
answered at this time. 

Red Hat, now is the time to show your true colors.  Be honest and tell the
truth, don't try to hide it by omission.

At this time, I have created several boot disks. The first disk was created
during the

from the RH CD
and did mkbootdisk and created disks identical to the first disk. All of
them hung as I
described in my original email. In each case, the disk created was in vfat.
All of the disks which I used to boot 6.0 (and continue to use on another

formatted to ext2.
Remember, I have 2 separate hds and am trying to boot to hdb. Following the
instruction and
notes in the 7.2 CD, I installed Grub on hdb rather than hda.
Your answers question why I waited so long to upgrade. The answer is that I
believe that
one should thoroughly master a basic tool before changing tools. A computer

an OS is is merely one flavor. In my last profession, I was a master

Re: DNS question

[Matthew Boeckman]

You labor under a common misconception about primary and secondary DNS. 
Primary and secondary nameservers do not "take over" or "fail over" when 
  one of the pair is down. To the best of my understanding (list 
clarification?), queries to your authoritative servers are doled out by 
the root servers, and are balanced across however many authoritative 
servers you have registered. If a query to one of your authoritative 
servers dies, it can be re-tried against another, and another, etc until 
all authoritative servers have been queried. If you look closely, you 
will see queries going to your secondary all the time, even tho your 
primary is up. The words primary and secondary are confusing, but what 
they really mean is that the secondary (or slave) server gets it's zone 
files from the primary. If the primary dies, it doesn't tell the 
secondary it's gone. The secondary can and will poll the primary for 
updates at whatever interval you define.

Example:

Let's say you have bob.com, and your nameservers registered with INTERNIC 
are ns1.jane.com and ns2.jane.com. Theoretically, 50% of queries for 
www.bob.com go to ns1, the other 50% go to ns2. In practice, I've never 
seen it split exactly, but more like 70/30. If a query to ns1.jane.com 
times out, (depending on configuration) the _client_ may make a 2nd 
query to ns2 and check it.

I hope that helps, and anyone who is better versed in DNS please feel 
free to correct me. I would highly recommend DNS and BIND from O'Reilly.

The problem has to do with how the firewall deals with the incoming packets.
The ip_masq_ipsec module tells the machine how to handle these packets.  You
will have the same problem with things like NetMeeting.

Part of me would think that since you're only connecting from inside to
an outside destination (with full outside access allowed - no blocking
in-to-out) that you wouldn't need that module.

Anyway it does the trick!

be able to pass through nat.

RE: VPN fustration

[Paul Hamm]

Looks like there are some patches to the kernel for VPN
http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html not for the 2.4.9
kernel though.

Subject: VPN fustration



I've posted to this list three times asking about VPN, IPSec or PPTP,
for Redhat 7.2.I've been trying to get linux-pptp working without
success so far.I can't seem to find any help on it. 

I have not received one response on my other three posts trying to get
help with VPN. 

Let me keep this simple. Is ANYONE using a VPN client on Redhat 7.2? I'd
really rather not use freeswan if I have to recompile the kernel. 

Thanks.
James

There is a utility called Alien that will convert packages to different

Have you checked the Ethernet-HOWTO?  You can find it at
http://www.linuxdoc.org.;  I found it helpful in setting up multiple
cards in my machines, and it does a better job of explaining than I
can. :)

This seems to be the best thing to do, based on everything I've ever
read on the subject.

On a related note, there's an article on SSH-encrypted NFS and one
on IPSec VPN in March's Sys Admin mag.

I have this in my ~/.bash_profile:
echo && /usr/games/fortune startrek && echo

My co-workers wonder why I burst out laughing every once in a while.

Re: VPN fustration

[Thierry ITTY]

well it looks like a shout out of the desert :-)

i don't remember your initial post.

if you're interested, we set up a nice configuration where several remote
adsl servers connect to a main site, each remote establishing a vpn with a
server gateway on the main site, and we wrote some stuff to handle remote
adsl changing ip addresses.

the gateway runs rh72 with the latest cipe package, whereas the remote
machines run rh70 with a locally compiled cipe version (the package does
not run on 70). 

the goal of these vpns is mainly to establish a private to private address
space link : each remote server is actually a network gateway for a
(private) lan, and machines on these lans need to access to some (private)
resources on the main site

so the answer to your question is : use the cipe package to run vpn on rh72.
