Firewalls on Ubuntu
by Ian McDonald 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

Carrying on the theme of my previous message here is an article about firewalls on Ubuntu and two choices. By default Ubuntu doesn't install a firewall because it doesn't listen on inbound ports by default but if you enable any listening services you will want a firewall: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/06/26/1556259 -- Ian McDonald Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://imcdnzl.blogspot.com WAND Network Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Waikato New Zealand

Re: [wlug] Intel Modem
by David Bowen 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

From: "Ian McDonald" What source code package are you using? i.e. where are you getting those files you put in that directory Intel-536. These are the drivers from Intel's download site. The same ones I used on Breezy. That version number sounds like an Ubuntu kernel. Have you tried with a kernel from http://kernel.org and then using that? It is the default Ubuntu Dapper kernel. I gather compiling custom kernels is not for nube's like me. Maybe next install fest I will get a chance to come down and learn a few things, lots of questions to ask, From: Craig Box Tried following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto ? Yes. It works fine for Breezy, nothing there for Dapper yet, can't get the driver to compile (Make). Well I plan on going ADSL in the not to distant future. But it would be nice to work through this problem, for learning purposes. Thanks David Bowen

Replacing FreeS/WAN with a 2.6-kernel-friendly VPN server
by Craig Box 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

I currently have a Debian Woody machine acting as a head-end IPSEC server to three sites with Cisco 837 ADSL routers. Woody is no longer maintained and I would like to upgrade the machine, and get it onto a 2.6 kernel. The IPSEC driver used by FreeS/WAN on 2.4 is klips. FreeS/WAN is no longer maintained, and has forked into OpenSwan and StrongSwan. The 2.6 kernel has its own implementation of IPSEC, called NETKEY, and klips requires a patched kernel, which I would rather not have to maintain, as there is a good IPSEC implementation in the mainline. The standard 2.6 kernel IPSEC model, using the ipsec-tools, lets you do all sorts of things with policies. In the past, I've had an ipsec0 interface, which has been given IP addresses and been able to connect routes to, and hang firewall rules off. I believe NETKEY doesn't give that. The remote sites can be considered 'trusted' insomuch as machines on their LAN are currently routed such they may as well be on the local LAN, and so it wouldn't matter too much that I couldn't apply specific firewall rules. Can anyone advise me on the easiest way to do this? Should I continue using OpenSwan? Is there a good HOWTO for this, or will I be the guy that writes it? (Assume I know everything on http://www.wlug.org.nz/26sec :) Any suggestions? Michal, are you still around, and is this right in your area of expertise? :) Craig

Acceptable use of the WLUG Mailing List
by Meeting Reminder bot 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

The WLUG Mailing List is the discussion-list extension of the Waikato Linux Users Group (Incorporated). As such, we expect members of this list to adhere to the principles espoused in the official WLUG Charter[1], in particular, Rule 6, which covers the activities on this mailing list. While this is an Acceptable Use Policy, the WLUG Committee do recognise the need for informal discussion among list members, and draconian administration is not the goal here. Please keep in mind, however, that your comments to this list do represent the WLUG, and while it is good to be seen as an organisation with a sense of humour, some comments may do major harm to our credibility as a serious advocate of GNU/Linux and all things Free Software/ Open Source related. List discussion should * be honest * accentuate the positive, without hyperbole or blatant misrepresentation * maintain a reasonable level of spelling and grammar * not indulge in ad hominem attacks * not continue inflammatory or abusive threads * not be unprofessional or petty, especially with respect to the names of other software companies * not promote or denigrate political, cultural, or religious views * not indulge in marketing or advertising, other than on a private sale basis, or advertising of jobs - which may be announced once only * not reproduce copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder * not defame any person or organisation Posters who consistently violate these guidelines will be dealt with at the discretion of the List Maintainer. If you feel you have been unfairly dealt with, you have recourse to any member of the WLUG Committee[2]. Certain mailing list etiquette should also be maintained: * please use only plain text (not HTML) * reply inline or below when quoting, rather than on top * trim quotes (don't reply quoting a 10 page message with a single line of reply) If you have any questions, start reading at http://www.gweep.ca/~edmonds/usenet/ml-etiquette.html. These points have been established over a long time on this list. If you want to question them, please do it off list. As list users, use your discretion when pulling people up over etiquette - please reply off list, and if there is a serious breach, the list administrator will probably have dealt with it off-list already.

Running ntpdate in ppp/ip-up.d
by Glenn Ramsey 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hi, I am trying to get ntpdate to run when my dialup link comes up. This box is running Debian/stable. I have put a simple script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ntpdate : #!/bin/sh /etc/init.d/ntpdate start All this script does is to run /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u -b -s $NTPSERVERS However the script hangs and ps indicates that it is sleeping ( S< ). It works fine if I run it manually (as root). Anyone know why it hangs? How do I make it work? Glenn -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
