Hello! I've finally bit the bullet and decided to migrate from Dachstein to Bering. I'm about 2/3 of the way through. I have a couple of questions: 1) Which is the better platform to build on, Bering or uClibBering? I'd rather stay with the most stable, tested and long-lasting version. Why the two different versions? 2) With Dachstein, we had the One Large File(TM) technique of configuration. This had disadvantages (it's pretty far from a normal Linux configuration, and adding parameters that the system did not envision is not always easy), but it had many advantages, too. Most notably, for the most part you could set a setting once and it would be used everywhere. This is not true in Bering. I've already found near a dozen places where I have had to change hard-coded IP addresses because I prefer using 10. addresses internally instead of 192.168 addresses Wouldn't it be possible to implement a way to define commonly used items (your internal and external IP addresses, netmasks, gateways, etc.) in a single location and have the bulk of the configuration files work with it? Or does that require the One Large File technique? Anyway, so far so good with migration. Now it's on to IPsec configuration! Joy! :) Thank you very much for any thoughts you might have regarding this. I greatly appreciate your help.
