I'm having some trouble setting up a PPTP VPN server behind a firewall. Internet - Firewall LAN (Including PPTP server) At the moment I'm forwarding port 1723 back to the PPTP server. I can see the logs of the client connecting to the server, but when the server sends it's first LCP

I know it's not due to a router as I can put a machine directly on it's lan side and it still fragments the packets into non existance. It's just standard TCP traffic, web browsing mainly. The problem is I didn't set this machine up, and I'm having trouble with the differences between debian and

I'm grabbing all their data, but what I want from squid is how much it's pulled down for each IP not counting what it's handed back from cache if you see what I mean. On Sun, Jan 19, 2003 at 05:11:39PM +1000, Brad Lay wrote: This is what I do, but I don't use squid to do the accounting, I do it

I know this isn't the place to be asking BSD questions, but on the off chance that someone here can help me out on this.. Currently the gateway machine on our network in an old OpenBSD machine, as soon as I can get some downtime I'm going to be moving it over to a debian system, but that's

Consolidating user databases

2003-01-12 Thread Simon Bland
I've just changed companies that I work for, and the new place is a real mess.. One of the first things I want to do is to tie together all the user stuff that's floating around. ATM the systems are very roughly tied together with systems to create users at places trigger by usage of others, I'd

LDAP was my first thought, but I've never really played with it, I've seen a few comments on Exchange using LDAP for an address book, but not as a source for it's own configuration. I'll take a look into LDAP and see what I can find. Also, I'd really like to replace Exchange, but as I understand

Ximian looks pretty good, but from what I can understand there isn't a 'Ximian Server'.. I couldn't quite follow what they meant by that. Can Ximian be put in to replace Exchange? Or does it mostly provide a nice way to tie linux machines into a MS based network? On Sun, Jan 12, 2003 at

Okay, your apache bind looks fine, and if your ISP claims not to block your port 80 traffic, then perhaps your own firewall may be causing the problem. What are you using to do the firewall? On Mon, Dec 23, 2002 at 12:37:59AM -0700, eric lin wrote: -- #

I'm really not sure on that, I generally use iptables, independent of a specific firewall package. If you are using an iptables one, try: iptables -L -nv This will give a dump of all the loaded rules, if that doesn't work, well I'm not 100% up on ipchains.. Remember to CC your replies to the

Odd network behaviour

I've recently upgrade my desktop and I've noticed some odd behaviour with my network since then.. My machine is currently acting as the gateway for a small home LAN, I'm running dnsmasq to handle the forwarding and iptables for the firewall. The odd behaviour is that any time my machine is under
