Hi,

I built a CD with new linuxrc from Charles and found a problem using

PKGPATH=/dev/fd0:msdos,/dev/cdrom:iso9660
This one fails with:  /dev/cdrom:iso9960 not found
PKGPATH=/dev/fd0:msdos, /dev/cdrom:iso9660
Note it's the whitespace before /dev/cdrom.

It may cause some headache for users...

Charles, can you pls look into it?
Are you using the latest version of my /linuxrc script?  If so, did the 
setting of IFS (IFS='spacetabcr' near the top of the file) get 
corrupted when downloading/copying?

Processing of PKGPATH is done with IFS set to $IFS, so any whitespace 
or commas should be ignored, as long as IFS is properly set (note this 
can be confusing, because if IFS is unset or null, the default is 
spacetabcr, which is what I explicitly set it to).

I'm also confused as to why you'd ever see the particular error message 
you're reporting.  The PKGPATH entries should be split at the colon 
before anything is done with them, so I could see an error about
 /dev/cdrom, but not about  /dev/cdrom:iso9660.

Please let me know exactly which /linuxrc file you're using...

[leaf-devel] Dachstein-CD - Bering ???

2004-04-29 Thread Michael D Schleif
I have noticed in recent months that Charles is migrating from DCD to
Bering, and that migration has entailed some sleight-of-hand over
straight Bering.

Charles, have you published your DCD-Bering ``distribution''?

What do you think?

Where are you setting PKGPATH...in the kernel command line or in leaf.cfg?

Can you provide the exact kernel command line and contents of leaf.cfg 
for me to test with here?

Well, I'm not much of a 'magician', but I am upgrading to Bering (at 
least on my local firewall...I've still got a bunch (6+) of Dachstein 
based machines in production at various other locations).

I have not yet released a version of my Bering-CD for a few reasons:

- I want to make sure there are no additional changed required to my new 
/linuxrc mods

- I haven't yet tried the 2.4.24 kernel I want to upgrade to that I 
built from the uClibc branch but patched with the Bering version of IPSec

- I haven't fixed everything related to removing /dev/boot (ie: 
packaging scripts), but I don't think there are any problems from this 
other than harmless warnings when manually installing packages.

- General lack of time

While I am running a 'tweaked' Bering, the main things I modified are 
available from my posts to leaf-devel.  Other than that, I'm running 
Shorewall 1.4.10c (direct from the Shorewall site, unmodified for 
'out-of-the-box' masquerading), and a bunch of packages from DCD (with 
newer ssh  bering versions of IPSec).

I can post a 'release-candidate' iso of what I'm currently running in 
production online, if anyone's interested.

Yes, I am interested.  I am in no hurry; but, the reason for my post is
that I, too, have many DCD's deployed, and I would like to move up to a
newer kernel and iptables.

When you have time, I will appreciate your work.

Thank you.

[leaf-devel] Bering-CD Trial Version

2004-04-29 Thread Charles Steinkuehler
Due to 'popular demand' (OK, one person asked :), I have posted my 
work-in-progress Bering-CD version online for download.  You may grab 
the ISO image and browse the CD contents at the following URLs:

Fast co-located server:
http://lrp2.steinkuehler.net/files/diskimages/Bering-CD/
Slow(ish) server behind a 768K SDSL:
http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/diskimages/Bering-CD/
See the readme file for a quickly hacked together list of what's on the 
CD, where I got it from, and what I changed from 'stock' Bering-1.2.

There is also a readme.cd file in the cd contents/ directory, which is 
mainly a hacked version of the Dachstein-CD readme (covers linux mkisofs 
command required to build a new CD and the Dachstein/Bering packaging 
extentions).

Key changes from stock Bering-1.2:

- New /linuxrc scripts
- Modified module loading script
- Shorewall package is 'raw' package directly from shorewall maintainers 
(ie: no pre-configuration for typicaly SOHO firewall).

For anyone used to Dachstein-CD, this will be very familiar.  Read up on 
the /linuxrc mods (see leaf-devel archives, circa: March 23, 2004 and 
prior), crawl through the execllent shorewall documentation, and read up 
on the Bering documentation as required.

HELP WANTED:
I have not fully identified where all the packages came from (I took 
over this project from a friend, who couldn't manage to make a bootable 
Bering CD).  Help in identifying versions and/or replacing any packages 
in the contents list with more recent versions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I also want to switch to a kernel with modularized ip_conntrack and 
ip_tables (allowing me to adjust paramters that are otherwise only 
settable at kernel compile time).  I have a 2.4.24 kernel (based on 
bering-uClibc's kernel) compiled, but have not tested it.  Given the 
recent thread on updating IPSec (which would also need a new kernel), 
perhaps it's best to combine these two items for the CD-ROM.  Maybe 
someone will even build the new kernel and IPSec, and I won't have to 
(hint-hint ;-).

Sorry for the general lack of release-specific documentation, but with 
twins I don't have the time I did before to wrap up all the loose ends.

DISCLAIMER:  There are probably major problems with this CD, but it's 
been working fine for me for about a month.  If you have problems with 
the CD, I'll cheerefully refund everything you paid me for it. :-)

NOTE:  Due to the kernel issue, this version doesn't even get 
release-candidate status (ie: at least 1 major known issue), but it 
really is working fine, and should work just as well as the currently 
released Bering-1.2 (which also doesn't allow setting things like 
ip_conntrack hash table size).

I am working (slowly) on this for the next pcengines kernel (Bering glibc). 
I still am not completely clear about the environment required for the
