Hi Til and Damon- Many thanks for your replies!
I finally made it all the way through Kevin Mitcham's OpenCA Cookbook at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05421.html In doing so, I think I discovered a few mistakes, and in the near future, I'll be documenting those in some form or another. What would be the best way to do this? Should I generate my own cookbook modeled after his but including the steps that I found to be necessary which were not included in his cookbook? Then post this document to the list? Would that be best or something different? It turns out that my original problem as reported in this thread came about because Kevin apparently left out the step to export the configuration, and Damon explained how to do this. Once I did that, following the rest of Kevin's cookbook worked fine. With an operational two-interface setup with both CA and RA running in different directories on one Gentoo Linux box, I think I'll be much better able to learn all the concepts involved with operating a CA. It is now my intent to read through the entire guide again with extra special attention this time to the concepts part and to actually use the software simultaneously and thus hopefully improve my understanding of everything in the process. Ultimately, I plan to set myself up similarly to what Damon described for himself (two computers, one running the RA functions and connected, the other running CA functions and disconnected) with OpenBSD as the OS for both computers. I tried a two-interface setup on one OpenBSD box already and was stymied by a couple of things but perhaps with a better understanding from experimenting with a working OpenCA installation, I'll have better success next time. To Michael Bell: many thanks to you for your frequent assistance to me and for making the changes in the code that were apparently necessary for proper installation and operation on OpenBSD. Thank you List! -Kevin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
