Would you rather mistakenly post private information to the whole list, or occasionally forget to reply-to-all/reply-to-list? I guess because I am subscribed to so many yahoo groups, where the default reply goes to the list, I am accustomed to it and act accordingly. I _very_ rarely have cause to reply-all; but I often find myself having to re-send a reply (to include this /this/ list) because I omitted doing that in the first place. Arguably carelessness on my part by not checking the To: field, before clicking 'Send'. Though I would argue that if I receive a msg via a list, I ought expect (and act accordingly) that my reply would go to the same list - after all, I got the msg due to my being a member of the list and not because someone emailed me privately. I.E. If I'm sending private/sensitive info I _do_ double check the To: list, but not as a matter of course. I do agree that it is an opportunity/cost trade-off. The cost is (at least) that a constructive reply (solution to my problem!) such as Victor's might go to me alone and the list would not benefit (unless Victor remembered, and went to the trouble, to ensure the list was among his reply-to). I would not have expected that anyone's _reply_ to a post would contain sensitive info?! Possibly the original post, but not someone's reply so maybe I don't see the 'danger' (of default reply-to going to the list) being as significant as you. I guess that my experience is that I often forget to reply-all for this LEAF group, and nearly never, ever post publicly when I intended a private reply (for all the other groups). As I understand this is a contentious issue and has been decided upon, and I respect the right of the administrators to make this decision (and hugely, appreciate the time and trouble of the administrators to setup run the list). But respectfully I would disagree with the trade-off. Thanks Mike (et al), for all your fantastic LEAF work - no disagreement there, methinks :) scott; canada PS: I _almost_ forgot to adjust /this/ reply ... jeepers, I'm dense...

[leaf-user] RFE, Details of my hack: Storing different LEAF setups in different h/d folders
I moved back to a HD setup because I was doing some testing and changes which required frequent reboots. What I also decided to do was have some different folders on my HD, to keep various different configs. It has worked quite well for me so my RFE is this: do the powers to be see any merit for built-in support for the .LRP packages living within a subfolder of the storage partition, instead of the root folder of this partition? I suspect that I'm nearly unique in my desire and employment of this. If not, this following info might be helpful to others... This is what I found worked (for my Bering 1.2 setup). Please note that I use a separate lrpkg.cfg file, as opposed to the singular syslinux.cfg. These files /have/ to live in the root of the the storage partition (no simple work-around that I found): initrd.lrp ldlinux.sys linux lrpkg.cfg syslinux.cfg syslinux.dpy ... the only one that _might_ concern you here is initrd.lrp, but even that one is ever-so-rarely changed so it will probably be the same for all your different configs. All the rest of the .LRP files can live within an individualized sub-folder. So say you have a folder SOME_DIR on your h/d. Here's 1) how to tell LEAF where to find the .LRP files, and 2) how to make backing up happen properly (the tougher part). 1) Simple - have the folder name as part of the .LRP filename within lrpkg.cfg, e.g.: SOME_DIR/root,SOME_DIR/etc,SOME_DIR/local,SOME_DIR/modules,SOME_DIR/iptables,SOME_DIR/ppp, etc... 2) Make these changes: a) - to the file /etc/profile add in the lines: export HD_DIR=SOME_DIR mkdir /tmp/$HD_DIR 2/dev/nul mkdir /var/lib/lrpkg/$HD_DIR 2/dev/nul mkdir /var/lib/lrpkg/$HD_DIR/mnt cp /var/lib/lrpkg/* /var/lib/lrpkg/$HD_DIR/. 2/dev/nul - this sets an environment variable so other scripts know what the folder_name is ('export'). It will get set anytime that you login, which you must do before you do a backup! It also makes the necessary folder names and copies the package info to a dedicated folder. This is probably excessive but it's what I settled on and it worked for me. b) Adjust the backup script, /usr/sbin/lrcfg.back.script: - Change INCLUDE=/tmp/INCLUDE To INCLUDE=/tmp/$HD_DIR/INCLUDE - Change EXCLUDE=/tmp/EXCLUDE To EXCLUDE=/tmp/$HD_DIR/EXCLUDE - Change TMP_EXCLUDE=/tmp/TMP_EXCLUDE To TMP_EXCLUDE=/tmp/$HD_DIR/TMP_EXCLUDE - Change cat /var/lib/lrpkg/*.list /var/lib/lrpkg/*.links $TMP_EXCLUDE To cat /var/lib/lrpkg/$HD_DIR/*.list /var/lib/lrpkg/$HD_DIR/*.links $TMP_EXCLUDE - Below [ $PACKAGE = root ] cat $TMP_EXCLUDE $EXCLUDE Add [ $PACKAGE = $HD_DIR/root ] cat $TMP_EXCLUDE $EXCLUDE That should be it. I agree, my use of $HD_DIR beneath /var/lib/lrpkg, etc, is probably unnecessary but it's where I ended up. A precautionary tale: Backup your .LRP packages elsewhere before trying this. If something's amiss you may overwrite a valid .LRP package with an empty one. The way I verify I'm setup properly is that the 'C'onfirm Writes=On, and when I backup a .LRP I verify that the new package is about the same size as the old one. How to make it all easy to change between different configs: The only thing different, from a boot-up standpoint, is that I have various lrpkg.XXX files in my root folder, and copy them over the lrpkg.cfg file to tell LEAF where my current setup is. After a new setup boots up I have to change the HD_DIR var within /etc/profile, save the file (but don't backup yet), re-login (so the updated HD_DIR is now live) ... then I can go in and backup my LEAF packages. I created some scripts to: - mount the h/d - copy over the adjusted lrpkg.XXX file onto \lrpkg.cfg - unmount the h/d - reboot and voila! I have a quick easy way to switch between different configs. It's really, really nice sweet, once it's setup. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I tried to make the HD_DIR issue invisible to LEAF by mucking with syslinux.cfg but got no success. Specifically, what doesn't work (or at least not for me): Within syslinux.cfg, trying something like: default... init=/SOME_DIR/linuxrc ... or default... boot=/dev/hda1/SOME_DIR:msdos ... or default... PKGPATH=/dev/hda1/SOME_DIR ... My experience was that all these options had to point to the root of a partition (or rather, a partition 'proper' if you prefer). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- So, is there any interest in the LEAF developers to include subfolder support for storing .LRP packages? I'd spend

RE: [leaf-user] Routing Question
Joey, I personally only have experience with the 3Com 3CRDW696 PCI card. It's worked great so far with Bering-uClibc 2.1 but I've only had it running for a couple of weeks now in testing. I've also had it working on Pebble and RH9 in between my searches for info on how to setup Bering as an AP. You can look for some compatible cards at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.802.11b.html#Prism2 There may be a more complete list of prism2+ cards elsewhere though. A quick google of prism2 card list turned up this one http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/Prism2Card and several others that might be helpful.

My configuration is as follows: eth0 : internet/dhcp eth1 : wired local network 192.168.1.254 eth2 : wireless network (current IP 10.10.55.254 - can be configured differently) What I want to do is to setup an open wireless gateway that will allow anyone in the area to use the wireless connection, but only after registerring. Basically I want to forward any requests to a site on my bering box that says something like, hey its free, just tell me who you are and I'll add you, after that they would be able to get through. Has anyone configured this type of setup? Is there anything I should be paying attention to. One thing that is important is that I don't want the eth2 traffic to be able to get to my local wired LAN, on eth1. The old hand Linux application for approximately this purpose is called NoCat; find it at NoCat.net . A Google search (wifi public access linux) just now found a custom distro called PublicIP (http://www.publicip.net/) that builds on NoCat. My hunch (based partly on some work I did about 2 years ago on a similar idea, but one involving charging usage fees) is that the required infrastructure is a bit large for LEAF, particularly the parts needed for reliable user authentication. But I haven't actually tried anything like this in quite some time, so I may be unaware of newer solutions to some of the problems. If you have a Prism2+ based card, the HostAP - http://hostap.epitest.fi/ driver has worked great for me on Bering-uClibc 2.1 as an access point. There are alot of other things that can be done with this card and driver that might be what you're looking for. While not based off LEAF/Bering, you might look into some alternative options like Pebble - http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/ or hack this modified version of Pebble that runs off hard disk to suit your needs - http://www.burngreave.net/~aland/it/bcan/ . The stock Pebble includes NoCat and from the sound of what you're wanting, I'd agree that it might be exactly what you're looking for.

Re:[leaf-user] vpn capability router
If I were pressed on time, I would do this - Use Bering 1.2 stock. Set up 1 router, and get it working. add the ifconfig and openvpn packages as found here - http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/packages/ http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/Packages.htm add tun.o as found here - http://download.sourceforge.net/leaf/Bering_1.2_modules_2.4.20.tar.gz Set up openvpn using the instructions here and here - http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/buopenvpn.html http://www.shorewall.net/OPENVPN.html Duplicate to 2nd router, and adjust configuration. I set up a test vpn using these steps in about an hour. Its very easy if you have experience with LEAF. Things to watch out for - 1) Watch the size on the disk - you will need to remove unused packages 2) In setting up the VPN, use shorewall clear and get it working, then reactivate the firewall and test again. 3) If you follow the shorewall steps exactly - the firewall will not have access to the vpn, so testing connection from the firewall to the remote vpn may not be the best place to do it. Use clients behind the firewall, or open up access. Doug I'm currently studying, my lecturer asked me to do a router with VPN capability with floppy disk(s). I have tried a for quite long and still haven get the result. I don't know what has gone wrong. Can anyone show me the proper way to start?

[leaf-user] Can't mount usb flash drive
Hello Everyone, Trying to mount a usb flash drive with little luck. I have added the usb and scsi files to lib/modules and etc/modules. I see the device under /proc/bus/usb/devices and I see no errors under /var/log/messages. It seems to be picked up and assigned but when I try to mount it I get Mounting /dev/sdaX on /usb failed: No such file or directory. Any ideas?
