[leaf-user] puzzle: listen on port X on internal interface, and send data to remote host with dynamic ip]

2005-06-09 Thread Matt

Hi all, I have a strange goal.

the setup:  two sites (a and b) both with linux machines running 
shorewall.  a machine at site 'a' needs to connect to services on a 
machine at site 'b'.  both sites have dsl with dynamicaly assigned ip 
addresses.  site 'b's ip can be resolved from siteb.dynamic.dns.com (one 
of those fancy dynamic-dns sites)


the goal: to have a computer at site 'a' connect to a port on the 
internal nic of the router at site 'a' and have it transparently 
communicate through this port to a computer at site 'b'.  this will be a 
windows networking/smb connection, so the client machine and the server 
can't specify a port number.  For various reasons we cannot expose the 
standard smb port at site 'b'. 

I know i can use DNAT on the router at site 'b' to accept connections on 
port 12345 and send them to the server port 139.
what can i use at site 'a' to accept connections on port 139 on the 
local interface and forward them to siteb.dynamic.dns.com port 12345?  
If I specify the fqdn in the shorewall config I see two problems:  it 
either will not work at all, or it'll resolve the address once (when 
shorewall is started) and never again.


I'd like to avoid setting up a vpn as i'm short on time, and I can't 
install ssh on either machine.


ideas? comments? suggestions?

thanks,
+matt

ps.  let me know if you need me to clarify anything

This is a typical VPN situation, short of time use OpenVPN to solve this.

Zebedee might be a quick and dirty solution.  Secure tunnel.  VPN like.
 Runs on Windows and Linux.  I use it to tunnel VNC.  Google it.

[leaf-user] Microtik Routerboard 500

2005-06-09 Thread Darcy Parker (Home)
Good day all,

I am considering replacing a bunch of old dual floppy machines with
the microtik routerboard 500 (http://www.routerboard.com/).  These
boards have a CF card slot and can be configured to boot off of them.  I
believe the units has a MIPS 79RC32434 processor.

I am currently running Leaf Bering uClibC 2.0 but will migrate to
2.2.  I use these for IPSEC connections between several remote offices.

Has anyone ported Leaf bering to the routerboard or can anyone give me
some starting pointers?  My concerns are how to get from my two floppies
to the CF card, and if the existing code will work with the MIPS processor.

Darcy

Looks like a nice little animal, I doubt though, code compiled for the 
x86 architecture will run on it. You will probably have to recompile 
everything. It probably will outrun the Geode SC1100 but unless you need 
that extra speed you could go for a WRAP, which is supported.


cheers

It will not work. MIPS is not compatible to i386/i486 architecture, so
anything compiled for it won't run (Another difference would be, that
i386 are little endian processors while (true) MIPS is big endian).
I am thinking about porting bering-uclibc to linksys which uses a MIPSel
(MIPS in little endian) processor, but even this won't be compatible.
buildtool as it is now, is not ready for crosscompiling (although the
kernel and uclibc/busybox should run on MIPS/MIPSEL), it will be some
day, hopefully, but there are still some problems that will occure
(apart from compilation problems that some sources will show, i
suppose), one is : how to boot it ? Depending on the board, you might
need a special boot loader, you might not have an ide disc (only flash
ram), at least this is the case for the linksys...
Would be an interesting project, of course.

So don't expect an easy solution for this, you might consider one of the
standard leaf i386 based boards like WRAP or soekris...

Calvin,
I hope to do that when I upgrade our docbook build script. XIncludes are
the key, and all the documents in doc should end up in a single
browse-able entity.

Note: our FAQs will end up in a phpWebSite wiki.
