Using SimplyMepis 3.3.1: I have to access work using a Cisco VPN connection. I have installed "vpnc" and "tun". I can establish a VPN connection and get an IP address assigned. ifconfig tun0 tun0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:10.255.255.1 P-t-P:10.255.255.1 Mask:255.255.255.255 I then added a route with the work IP address range: route add -net 10.83.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev tun0 However, I cannot access the servers at all. What have I done wrong and/or missed? Thanks for your help Felix

Why don't you try using the python scripting language. It is really simple and this thing was kinda my first project. See www.python.org Their site has all the docs and a tutorial to get you started. async

Free wiki space?
by Ian McDonald 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Folks, Does anybody have any recommendations for free Wiki space? I am thinking of maybe wikispaces.org as this looks OK and content is under Creative Commons. I am looking at this for todo for DCCP kernel development and it is a bit detailed, dynamic and hard core for the WLUG website in my opinion... Ian

Hi. I'm looking to hire a part time Linux person to help with customer support over at http://rimuhosting.com. I've posted some info about what I'm looking for here: http://forums.rimuhosting.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130 RimuHosting is based out of Cambridge, but the intent is that most of the work is doable remotely (i.e. from home). It is evening work and may suit a Linux-mad uni student wanting to gain some IT work experience. Regards, Peter http://rimuhosting.com - Linux VPS Hosting

New Zealand Linux Wiki
by Craig Box 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

Hi everyone, At the last WLUG committee meeting, we discussed the topic of the "NZLUG view" into the WLUG wiki. The issue is that we have a very complete archive of Linux knowledge related to New Zealand that some people incorrectly believe "you have to be a WLUG member to use". The WLUG committee are committed to making our wiki useful and accessible to everyone, while retaining its identity as "the official WLUG website". We would like the wiki to be relevant to all of NZ's Linux users, not just those involved with WLUG or NZLUG. We also respect that much of the content has specific relevance to only New Zealand. Much discussion took place on the various options to rectify this situation, with the two main options being: * Remove the "NZLUG view" until a national organisation is in place * Rebrand the "NZLUG view" as a New Zealand Linux Wiki, now The committee decided that the first option may send the wrong signals regarding our intentions, and has therefore decided to offer the alternative view under the tentative name of "New Zealand Linux Wiki", and publicise it to all New Zealand LUGs. Feel free to check out the modified site at http://wiki.linux.net.nz/. Comments are welcome (offlist in the first instance please). Regards Craig
