We have been using an openssh/pppd tunnel as a vpn for quite some time with great sucess. My partner just got a highspeed connection at his house and I was walking him through setting up the connection to our office when we got to the step of trying the actual connection after verifying all the ssh keys and seeing the ppp garbage sent back from the server.
The scripts we use to do this on RH6.2 all use a pty-redir that is apparently a part of the linuxconf package. This box is a 7.2 and we have not installed linuxconf. Is there some functionallity in the 2.4 kernel or some other package that renders this obsolete or do I need to install linuxconf? If I do still need the linuxconf pty-redir does anyone know if I can just install it without the rest of the monster package? I see that this is still in the linuxconf rpm for 7.2. the command that is called is: /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/pty-redir \ /usr/bin/ssh -q -t -e none -o 'Batchmode yes' \ -c blowfish \ $ssh_opts > $VPN_DEV_FILE I have not kept up with all the changes and if there is an easier way to create an ssh based vpn from a 7.2 box to a 6.2 box I am all ears. BTW I cannot initiate the connection from the firewall to his box because his ISP NATs everything. We have punted for tonight so any time saving tips are appreciated.
