I finally have a working update to the /linuxrc script for bering.
It seems to be time to try and submit my patch again
It allows to use a log_mnt parameter to mount /var/log/ on a persistent
partition that is not lost reboots.
I use this to save the logs on a DoM.

Another thing that we could do is just place all of the config files in
/usr/shorewall/share.

Shouldn't it be /etc/shorewall/ rather? I prefer my config in /etc

Linux Embedded Appliance Framework (LEAF)
LEAF is an embedded network appliance framework delivered in
branches. Branches are targeted at, but not limited to, the
following appliance-oriented tasks: LAN/WAN router, Internet border
router/firewall, wireless access point
we are talking about goals - some of them has eached, some of
them not, but
maybe in the future.
LEAF works from home office to small office right now stable and

We could even close down development and put everything in

I looked into the corresponding script (/etc/init.d/modutils),
the culprit is probably

if [ $MODTOLOAD = ] ;then
module=` echo $module | cut -c-8`
MODTOLOAD=`find / -name

The alleged violations concern SMP code and stuff such as JFS. This is

I know what RCDLINKS does, but can anyone tell me briefly is it a special
LEAF-only thing, or is it from some other Linux distro, or what?
As the RCDLINKS are evaluated by /lib/POSIXness/POSIXness.linuxrouter
it seems to be a LRP concept. It is very useful for LEAF, but for a normal

Every now and then, the 255 character limit of the kernel comes up. Checking out the

Aren't they all POSIX shells (ash, bash, dash)? They should use the exact

I think a package description and indexes are essential to get most of the

We have a package for fwbuilder submitted by Alex Rhomberg in our SF
patches area.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fwbuilder
Including rules, the fwbuild.lrp package on our firewall eats 3376 bytes.
You can hardly beat that :-)
However, fwbuilder needs a linux box for the frontend so
One thing to note is that when I try the install GRUB from floppy,

the eigth character (is there a way around this BTW?). Has anybody used
Thanks for creating this package. What LEAF releases/branches did you
test it with?
Good Question. I tested und used it only with Bering. In any case, a 2.4
kernel is required, as fwbuilder doesn't support ipchains
Did you also submit this package to the fwbuilder project?
I think theres a doc on this linked from

I have a lilo.lrp that I can send anyone interested.
This is needed because lilo needs to run everytime you back up
the initrd.lrp package and whenever you change boot parameters
For this reason, I'm planning to
log_mnt=/dev/somedevice (e.g. log_mnt=/dev/hda2)
puts your log files directly in the given partition by mounting
it to /var/log before starting syslog
log_mnt=/dev/somedevice:/somedir (e.g. log_mnt=/dev/hda2:/logs)
puts the log files in the /logs directory on the given partition,
by
-To, lilo.lrp
I wanted to use reiserfs and had problems with larger disks with syslinux,
so I moved to lilo. Lilo wouldn't load the initrd from the RAID-1 SCSI disk,
so I moved to grub, which is great if you can spare the space.
