firewall
Hi! At the moment I've a RH firewall/router. It's quite unstable, so I would like to installa Debian as a firewall and router instead of RH. I need the box act as a firwall/router (I belive it's called masquarading) and enabled port forwarding. Is there any easy to go guides for this?

Get your local network cards set up and network working. apt-get install iptables apt-get install ipmasq If you want it to connect to dial-up isp, then apt-get install pppconfig You may need to reboot to get all the scripts to run right. Once pppconfig is set up, the pc can masquerade for other PCs connected to its network cards. Hi Paul and Russel, Thanks very much for the quick response. Perhaps I should mention that I'm a bit familiar with Debian. My primary desktop is a Debian, so installation should not be a problem. It's a standard ethernet connection (ADSL), so I don't think it will be nessacery with a ppp configuartion. The pc has 2 3Coms netcards. A couple of extra questions. 1. will the masquerade work automaticaly? 2. to which files do I write to port forwarding rules?

local mirror with rsync

when I execute the script - it start to run the the server

looks like this:

debian poster
Hi, Right now I have a poster with Corel Linux (better than nothing I think) hanging on my door. But I don't use the Corel Linux disto - so I thought if there were anyone out there who have a good quality of the debian logo which could be used to make a poster.

licq
Hello everyone, I've just reinstalled my debian system. It all works just fine except my licq. When I start the licq program I get an error similar to this: 1:57:14: [WRN] Licq: Ignoring stale lockfile (pid 27928) 11:57:14: [ERR] Unable to load plugin (qt-gui): /usr/lib/licq/ licq_qt-gui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I think that all the licq program files and the qt libary files are installed. Any ideas why this is happing ? Regards Allan
Re: licq
Andrei Ivanov wrote: After you installed the plugin, you still might get errror messages about not being able to see the plugin.

I only mirror the 386 portions of potato, US and non-US, and my archive is about 2G. I had a major problem setting up a potato mirror using any type of ftp-mirroring utility (like mirror). When I first started there were a lot of links in potato to slink and the ftp server on most of the debian mirror sites refused to flatten these symbolic links. If I had continued trying to use mirror I would've had to copy both potato and slink, both binary-all and binary-i386, in order to have a functional mirror. I mirror the slink, potato and woody dists with all the packages (main, contrib, non-free, non-US and sources). I'm not finish yet but now the archive is about 5.6GB, and my guess is about 9GB. Allan

boot disk
Hi I've just recieved an older IBM (pentium 133), which I would like to install Debian on. The problem is that there is no cdrom on it, so I try to create a bootdisk, so I boot the computer and hopefully install it from my local mirror of ftp.debian.org. I've tried to create the disk with mkboot and by copying the different files from the /disks-i386/current directory to a floppy, but every time it comes to booting linux/lilo.
