Re: [SLUG] Win2k - Linux VPN
Thanks to all who replied and the ensuing discussion... cleared up a few things. I read about Bruce Schneier's analysis as well and was one of the reasons for not wanting to go PPTP. I didn't necessarily want to spend money on it so went in search of other methods. Having heard of IPSEC before I thought that'd be the way to go. After the discussion and reading some of the links provided, seems like it is the way to go. FWIW, the answer to my original problem was that I had not listed the server's key in the ipsec secrets file. In any case doing so got ipsec working. I then had another problem with ppp authentication over the L2TP tunnel - turns out you can't have * for the server field in the secrets file as man page says you can (maybe it's an l2tp thing). Anyway, got the test run workin internally, now for the real world thing Fil John Clarke wrote: On Thu, Mar 13, 2003 at 05:14:58PM +1100, Phil Scarratt wrote: My concern with the PPTP path is the reported security issues: It's actually MS's implementation that's flawed rather than PPTP itself. However, the most likely reason for using PPTP is Windows clients and that means MS's implementation. Bruce Schneier has analysed it and found it to be severely flawed, and recommends IPSEC instead. That's good enough for me. From http://www.counterpane.com/pptp-faq.html: 3. How bad is it? Very. Microsoft PPTP is very broken, and there's no real way to fix it without taking the whole thing down and starting over. This isn't just one problem, but six different problems, any one of which breaks the protocol.

RE: [SLUG] Win2k - Linux VPN
CIPE is a heck of a lot easier to configure and get working, and there is a windows client if you need to integrate a windows client into the vpn. furthermore, it's more lightweight than IPSEC, and it is easier to configure thru a firewall. and one final note, it's included with the recent Red Hat distributions (RH7.3, and RH8.0 -- Have not looked at RH7.2, but if you're running 7.2, you should probably upgrade anyways...) -Greg On 13-Mar-2003 Phil Scarratt wrote: Hi all Sorry to interrupt all this talk about nominations Anyone know a good howto or pointers on setting up a VPN from Win32 clients to Linux server?

So yes a program could store only the 8 bits needed to identify which colour from the palette is used for a given pixel, but many programs will expand it out to 24 bits in memory. Plus scratch memory used in any transformation which might be substantial as well. It all depends on the implementation. A smart program could do a scaling operation without storing the original image in uncompressed form at all, and only ever storing part of the resulting image in uncompressed form. It would cost a little in performance, but potentially not very much.

[SLUG] USB printer
I have recently installed a USB inkjet printer on a new PCI card into our Red Hat 7.2 print server. It already runs a SAMBA-shared laser printer off the parallel port. The new USB card shows up (but apparently twice: once as a Natoma/Triton II with a usb-uhci driver, and one as a Lucent Microelectronics with a usb-ohci driver. I'm not sure how meaningful this is. The laser printer is installed on /dev/lp0. The inkjet printer is installed on /dev/usb/lp0, and by all tests, the system knows it is there and a driver is installed. However, I can't print to the inkjet. In fact, when I tested on one occasion, data was sent to the laser printer, which printed out a UNable to open the initial device, quitting message. Restarting lpd has the following message: Stopping lpd: [ OK ] Starting lpd: Warning - EpsonInkjet: cannot open lp device '/dev/usb/lp0' - No such device [ OK ] Have I got the USB system duplicated somehow? Is the printer set up with the wrong device name: should it, for example, be /dev/usb/lp1?

Because they argue that using a VPN is insecure - I totally disagree with this, as I know massive multi-national corporations use these and rely on these. And as if these companies would use this if it was insecure. A IPSEC VPN seems to be most secure out of these technologies, when I worked for a large ISP we used to implement them (with 3DES encryption and key regeneration every hour). Since the actual keys aren't transmitted, they can't be sniffed. They were a nice cash cow for us, being a managed service and all.

[SLUG] calling C libs from perl
ok so slightly OT perhaps (it's on linux is my defence!) and no doubt obvious, but how exactly do you call functions in a C library from a perl script? (note: not system calls or standard C library calls but functions from my own C library) I can find plenty of examples the other way around but not this way. Either it's so easy/obvious it's not worth talking about or you can't/don't do it (and I can't believe that). So does someone want to enlighten me please...

Re: [SLUG] calling C libs from perl
I can tell you it's in chapter 18 of the Advanced Perl Programming Oreilly book. There is some documentation at perl.com.au, C and Perl - the first two look like putting perl in C and the next calling C from perl. It would seem that it's worth while buying the Perl CD bookshelf.

I'd seen that XS stuff but assumed it was for calling perl from other languages. ta, Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
