RE: [SLUG] freeswan
Title: RE: [SLUG] freeswan It's on my home machine. I will send it to you over the weekend. P.S. Still having some trouble with it. Have decided to go back to 2.2.19 as they suggest to see if it's me or the kernel that's causing the problem. As it compiles perfectly, I am suggesting it's more my lack of iptables knowledge that's causing most of my problems. -Original Message- From: Ken Foskey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 15 June 2001 12:54 To: slug Subject: Re: [SLUG] freeswan This is for me to work from home so no time limit and no quotes. They handed me a windows client on a disk, useful as tits on a bull. The other side is Raptor client, I had a look with Google and there were some old mailnotes but nothing very specific. It appears that Freeswan works with it. Adam, being very lasy is it possible to send me the prepatched kernel. Is there any issue with compiling the kernel on my debian laptop and installing on a P100? I thought this was a matter of adding a client and all would be rosie. I was a little wrong on that, I hope that freeswan goes mainline into the kernel or a module at some stage.

RE: [SLUG] freeswan
Title: RE: [SLUG] freeswan I am starting to (after 3 weeks) have some success with the June 11th Snapshot on 2.4.5 kernel. My advice with freeswan is:- (1) Read EVERYTHING first (2) Get yourself a faster processor. You may have to compile your kernel more than once as you get used to how it works (the first time I compiled it I forgot to add in ppp, for example). Compiling the kernel on a P100 will take a considerable amount of time. (3) When you test the first time, test from the far left subnet to the far right subnet. Don't test from the gateway machines. It's a challenge. Satisfying when it works, though. -Original Message- From: Ken Foskey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 15 June 2001 1:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] freeswan I want to run a debian firewall with freeswan for internet and a VPN tunnel. IPSEC with IKE and a shared secret. This box will be built from scratch on a minimal harddisk, P100 processor. It must redirect my internal network to the internet. It will redirect specific IP addresses through freeswan VPN (10.x.x.x series and other). OK how do I configure a freeswan firewall deb package the easy way? Any hints or pointers? Any apt-get configurations? My starting point will be 2.2 debian disks, but I have a cable modem now :-) so internet installs not a problem. There is a lot of discussion about not 2.4 kernels, is this still current?

[SLUG] Controlling RH7.1 from command line
I notice that more and more configuration of RH7.1 needs to be done from XWindows. For example, Setting up a Dial up connection is done by a XWindow program Red Hat Dialer. I have taught myself how to do most stuff under RH7.1 by editing files from the command line, including ppp connections. It is imperative to allow remote ssh support of my client's networks.

RE: [SLUG] Virus Scanner
Title: RE: [SLUG] Virus Scanner
Trend:
This was about 2 months ago:
Runs on Redhat 6.0 - 6.2. You need a special version from Trend to run on 7.0 which is hidden on their ftp site. Contact them and they will tell you how to get it.
Had all sorts of problems configuring it for no open relay with sendmail.
If you want to run the http scanner, go and buy a lot of memory.
And I found it quite expensive.
But, it works well, it was the only one that got Anna when it came out, it updates well, management is good (web based).

As discussed on #slug, I use Trend for ISP class antivirus on Solaris
('cause the sendmail solution only runs on Sol). The demo of the linux
stuff which we used looked pretty good - online updates etc etc.
I'd recommend it.

RE: [SLUG] Fix for ADSL Problem
Title: RE: [SLUG] Fix for ADSL Problem This problem cost me 20 hours of my life. But I solved it with no help from Telstra I rang them on Monday and asked if they could give me a hand. The guy, while helpful, had absolutely no idea what to do. The funny thing is I had a problem with a Cisco router not talking to a ISDN connection correctly a couple of weeks ago. I rang Telstra, and a guy there was giving me IOS commands from the top of his head over the phone to try to ascertain what the problem was. He didn't fix the problem (it was a physical ISDN problem), but he certainly impressed me with his knowledge and the simple fact that he didn't treat me like a home user. Now, wouldn't it be good if Telstra employed a Linux Guru to make our life a little easier? -Original Message- From: Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 19 April 2001 12:33 To: Rebecca Richards Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] Fix for ADSL Problem > I sometimes wonder why Telstra will not support linux for ADSL, as it clearly > works quite well.

[SLUG] Fix for ADSL Problem
You guys might like to know that I fixed my problem with my ADSL connection not browsing. I installed RH7.0 for the fourth time on another machine, this time with no network card. I decided to add components until it didn't work. It browsed first time. I added another ethernet card, squid, squidGuard, IP Masquerade, firewalling, everything and it still worked. The thing that stopped it was when I went to the RH Dialler to set up my other ISP modem connection. Killed the ADSL connection. Removed the new connection, put everything back - still doesn't work. Checked routing tables, everything - no luck. I had a backup of it just befire this so I got it going. I will work on the Dialler problem and let you know what it is.

[SLUG] Problem with Bigpond ADSL
I have now spent 17 hours on a problem, and decided I may need some help. I have tried to get a Redhat 7.0 box to attach to Bigpond ADSL. I had it connected, pinging and ftp'ing 16 hours and 55 mins ago. It can also smtp, pop3, telnet, everything. But I still cannot browse a web site. When I go into Netscape or Lynx, type in a web site, it just sits there and hangs. If I connect the box to another ISP via modem, it browses OK. I am using RP, and have tried everything I can find in mailling lists including:- (1) Manually lowing MTU on network card and ppp connection, all the way down below 1000. Editing adsl-connect to ensure this is done. (2) Got my browser to try to use melbourne.cache.telstra.net.au on ports 80, 3128 and 8080 (and all other Telstra caches I could find). (3) Disabled all IP Masquerading (eventually it will be a gateway), all other ethernet cards, IP routing. Any suggestions would be welcome. Although I am connecting in Brisbane, everything on port 80 is going through a transparant proxy in Melbourne. Could it be a Brisbane problem?
