[gentoo-user] [OT] The Internet as a big subnet
Hey, I have a problem. That should be fairly easily resolvable. But it isn't. The available documentation sucks. And my head hurts. http://wiki.openswan.org/index.php/The%20Internet%20as%20a%20big%20subnet I have an office, I have a datacentre. If office accesses the internet it must not appear to come from the office. The office can appear to the internet as the datacentre. So, I thought I'd stick up a VPN with the remote subnet as 0.0.0.0/0 on the office firewall, and the local subnet as 0.0.0.0/0 on the datacentre firewall. I removed the office firewalls default route, and added a specific host route to the datacentre firewall. The VPN establishes itself fine, and openswan creates 2 new routing rules on the office firewall: 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 128.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth2 128.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the office firewalls nexthop. I'm running 2.6, so no ipsecX virtual interfaces :( Now two things change. 1) I can access the internet from the office firewall, but I appear as the office, not the datacentre. Which shouldn't happen, as I removed the default route out it's own router, and set up one via the datacentre with openswan. 2) I can't access anything on it's internal interface, and machines behind it can't access it. Seems like openswan is trying to send *everything* out the internet connection. Is there anyone who can tell/show me how to create a default route over a subnet-subnet ipsec vpn, without screwing up internal access?

'West' would then act as a router sending the data though East, into the firewall and out? Now then, that's an idea! OR, what about setting up a general firewall rule on West, so that any connections which would go 'out' onto the internet be routed though the VPN? In theory, I shouldn't need any firewall rules on west, at least no MASQ or SNAT rules. The PCs would be directly routable by both firewalls, due to the VPN.

Out of my league I'm afraid :) The Makefile is trying to open /lib/modules/2.4.22/modules.dep which is outside the sandbox, so it can't. I suspect the Makefile needs modifying to either not attempt to access /lib/modules/2.4.22/modules.dep, access a fake version inside the sandbox, or simply disable the sandbox (FEATURES=-sandbox emerge ...). - -- Mike Williams -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFADELVInuLMrk7bIwRAqS1AJ9mRySir7ObpLjp/B3i77NFucpdxgCeMK8r 3ZwBVPOxiJ42dN1W7h6jd2M= =dvIJ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Ok two questions,
1) how do we get this version included in the portage tree ?
Add a bug to http://bugs.gentoo.org/
2) I did as you suggested but the build failed :-
plinux # cp /usr/portage/sys-cluster/drbd/drbd-0.6.6-r2.ebuild
/usr/local/portage/sys-cluster/drbd/drbd-0.6.10.ebuild
plinux # ebuild /usr/local/portage/sys-cluster/drbd/drbd-0.6.10.ebuild
digest
/usr/portage/sys-cluster/drbd/files/0.6.10-Makefile.vars.patch is attached
Then change the ebuild like:
src_unpack() {
unpack ${A}
cd ${S}
epatch ${FILESDIR}/0.6.10-Makefile.vars.patch
# epatch ${FILESDIR}/0.6.6-drbd-Makefile.patch
epatch ${FILESDIR}/0.6.6-scripts-Makefile.patch
}
I only fixed the errors during unpacking, I've no way to test it!
Good luck.

Doh
The 0.6.10 tarball from linbit is b0rked, changed the SRC_URI to
http://www.drbd.org/uploads/media/drbd-${PV}.tar.gz, delete the old file, and
redo the digest.
