Subject: icmp: Port 257?
Date: Mon, 04 Jan 1999 20:36:36 -0800
I'm experiencing diald connections that won't go down. Upon inspecting
the diald.mon output, I find a recurring icmp connection from my local
host to my isp on this port, occuring about every 15-20 seconds, bumping
the 30 sec timeout. My suspects
1. named mischeviousness
2. some sort of keepalive
257 isn't in /etc/services, can't find it in any of my docs.
TIA

Subject: Firewall rules for Shiva VPN and IP Forwarding
Date: Mon, 04 Jan 1999 19:35:04 -0500
For those who care here are the firewall rules for connecting a ShivaVPN
client through a Linux Firewall:
IPVWADM="/sbin/ipfwadm"
EXTERNAL_INTERFACE="eth0" #or your external interface
UNPRIVPORTS="1024:65535"
VPN_GATEWAY="ip address of your VPN Server"
$IPFWADM -I -a accept -P udp -W $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE \
-S $VPN_GATEWAY 2233 10027 \
-D $IPADDR $UNPRIVPORTS
$IPFWADM -O -a accept -P udp -W $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE \
-S $IPADDR $UNPRIVPORTS \
-D $VPN_GATEWAY 2233 10027
#can't be restricted to ACK messages because gateway
#can initiate connection
$IPFWADM -I -a accept -P tcp -W $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE \
-S $VPN_GATEWAY 10027:10028 \
-D $IPADDR $UNPRIVPORTS
$IPFWADM -O -a accept -P tcp -W $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE \
-S $IPADDR $UNPRIVPORTS \
-D $VPN_GATEWAY 10027:10028
I know that port 2233 is required. I'm not sure about 10027 and 10028.
The
Shiva web page suggested that they are but maybe it is only for gateway
management, I'm not sure.
The other key piece to the puzzle is on you VPN client you must go to
Setup->Options and enable Mobile IP. For the IP address enter your
external
IP address (eg. what /sbin/ifconfig reports on $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE).
This
is generally the address assigned to you by your cable modem provider's
DHCP
server.

This is seriously odd, since wrappers are tcp, and normal NFS is udp.
Did you check you log files to see if there are wrapper entries? Some
distributions write messages, some debug, anything's possible.
For ease of tracking I recompile tcpwrappers to write as local0
syslogging, and put just the wrappers messages in /var/log/wrappers,
which I save for a long time (security reasons).

I assume that .my is malaysia. Can you go to a store and buy a linux
book? Redhat comes with Special Edition, Using Linux, for instance.
This should be available in one of the electronic markets in KL for
instance. If you can't buy it locally, mail order it. In the long run,
this is much cheaper and more cost effective, because you also have
printed documentation. Plus, you wont have to copy everything from HD to
floppy or CDROM.
Just my 2 cents,

Hi Mike
If you are trying to telnet as root across a network -
login as a normal user first. On the linux box do a "ps a"
as see what tty you came in on. eg ttyp0
Then vi secuetty in /etc and add ttyp0 at the bottom.
You will now be able to login as root now.

Greetings All!
<p>With all the talent lurking on this newsgroup I was wondering if there
woul be any interest in starting a virtural corporation.
<p>It would work something like this.
<p>A server would be made available to provide access via telnet to a Linux
box to reputable and responsible individuals to configure for the purpose
of acting as an ISP, web hosting, small business networking, and web page
development or whatever.
<p>Log files would determine who spent how much time developing and configuring
the system. Individuals would be allocated "points" based on the
amount of time and effort they put in. However, just because someone
spends time on the system does not necessarily mean they are being productive.
Therfore a somewhat subjective judgment would be made of individual contributions
by the Executive Virtual Panel.
<p>Individuals my contribute hardware or other internet oriented resources
to gain additional points.
<p>The allocation of points based on labor or resources would be determined
by the Ececutive Virtual Panel of three individuals and disclosed on a
monthly basis. The more anyone contributed the greater the percentage
of interest they would hold.
<p>There will be no expectation of profit or payment from the Virtual Corporation
for a period of at least two years. Any contribution of time or resources
is stricly at your own risk!
<p>Regular tape backups of the current system configuration would be made
by the system administrator.

I had similar problems. A common cause of dial-up problems is the pap
script. Are you using the network configuration tool available from
control-panel. If so, set up your DNS, host info and play with the
connection script. This is usually the problem if your modem dials,
connects, and then drops the connection. Check /var/log/messages to see
what is happening (if your modem is dialing).

I can't really help with the NIC problem, but you can view boot-up messages
with:
dmesg | more
although I've noticed that not everything gets saved. There is a point in the
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit with the lines:
> # Now that we have all of our basic modules loaded and the kernel going,
> # let's dump the syslog ring somewhere so we can find it later
> dmesg > /var/log/dmesg
I guess you could try either moving the line to later in the initialization
script or saving the "syslog ring" to several different files at various points
in the process.

This is your routing problem...You must set up (in linux box) ip_forward,
so your linux will be the "router"...
If from your linux box you see (ping) both networks you have route for
then, if you don't you must set up route to both.
route add -net 192.168.1.0
route add -net 192.168.0.0
In others stations, you must set up the linux as your gateway...

If you can see, from 192.168.1.*, the machine 192.168.0.1 just poit to it
and finish.

That depends -- to a degree -- on what applications you're using. Raw

You can echo it to a given tty echo bla > /dev/tty1 will print it to the
first tty. I am not sure if you can use /dev/tty for the current controlling

Mark,
You probably need to edit your smb.conf file. How? I'm not sure
what the Windows part of your network is like, but you may need to
change the samba's Workgroup to match that of Windows' machines. It's
hard to tell what else without knowing more about your network. Try
reading the man pages for smb.conf. Good luck.

Fixing it on /dev/tty1 and so should work, but I hope to get a better
solution because the current login might be on tty2 or even telnet.
I have tried /dev/tty, it does not work. I think it's because pppd is
"detached" from the current shell when it executes the scripts.
Sigh.. Simple problem. In need of a simple but clever solution...
Anyone?

I'm using SpoonProxy (http://www.pi-soft.com) on a win98 machine to do
this quite handily. When I understand Linux better, I'll put the
Linux box up front. For now, SpoonProxy on the PC is serving to the
LInux box. Tried Wingate and RideWay; neither worked for me.
SpoonProxy is free for use with one client.
