Hello,
I actually sent an E-MAIL concerning this sometime ago so I apologize for not replying to anyone how offered advice.
I'm trying to get a VPN connection to my worksite to function through the Dachstein Firewall. I downloaded the following files...
ifconfig.lrp ipsec.lrp ipsec509.lrp mawk.lrp
I added them to the LRP= part of the kernel command line in syslinux.cfg. There are no errors reported but my VPN connection still doesn't function nor do they show up in the package configuration menu.
On a side note I added sshd as well and that does show up and function. Any idea????
Are you trying to establish a VPN connection from your Dachstein firewall, or from a computer behind the firewall?
The packages above (along with the proper kernel) are required for the firewall itself to establish an ipsec vpn connection, and will require proper configuration of the /etc/ipsec.conf and /etc/ipsec.secrets files to function.
If you're trying to get a computer behind the firewall to establish a VPN connection, you do *NOT* need the above packages, but more likely need to load one of the VPN masquerade "helper" modules (in /etc/modules):
ip_masq_ipsec (for ipsec based VPNs) ip_masq_pptp (for pptp based VPNs)
Note that kernels that support VPN masquerading do *NOT* support the firewall itself establishing a VPN and vice versa. By default, the CD-ROM version of Dachstein includes a kenel for establishing VPN connections from the firewall, while the floppy versions include a kernel that supports masqerading of VPN connections.
