To determine if this is the problem, try pinging the other side with a packet size of a little less then the ipsec0 mtu size. If you don't get replies, its most likely your problem. If using openswan/freeswan/, use the overridemtu= in the setup section of ipsec.conf Cheers, Scott -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Bad bad idea

That seemed a kewl idea, but not so: quite primitive/not working Anyway my server: SMTP, WWW, OpenVPN, SSH all routed by the DLINK as Virtual Servers to 192.168.5.254 My WWW has 1/2 doz named VHosts most with Gallery2. Externally all VHosts work. Internally (192.168.5.xx) the CSS part of gallery is missing, so all the Gallery VHosts are bare ugly HTML pages. Any ideas on solutions. I prefer to not hack gallery. Are you running your own DNS server? If so, look at running two different VIEWS to answer queries based on the source address of the host making the request. IOW, you'd have one view for your internal network hosts (192.168.0.0/16, or even 192.168.5.0/24) and a different view for external queries. The internal view has zone files that return INTERNAL addresses and allows recursion (make sure you have a forwarding DNS server, maybe your ISP?). Similarly, the external zone should only return Internet- routable addresses and deny recursion. Voila! Now just configure DHCP to return the IP of your DNS server and I'd expect a lot of your problems to disappear. Internally all access to tigger.ws gets the modem setup page. Can't find a way to make the modem route internal queries to it's virtual server I'd expect this is simply another symptom of wacky DNS resolutions. Internal host requests IP of "tigger.ws", query sent to Internet, some DNS server out there returns Internet address 1.2.3.4, internal host now tries to connect to internal web server via outside IP address. Unless your swanky new router supports loop-back routing, the result is likely to be the router's setup page (default routing destination etc). Just a thought. This just a buy-this-not: I want to access my SSH server at a secret port (to stop the world ...). DLINK won't work with my secret port, try another (which does work, but irritating) I know a number of people with t=low-end DLink gear that have it all humming and clicking just nice. However, they all run their own DNS servers. I want openvpn on port 1194 to be routed to the server. 1194 too does not work. Hrm - [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm really in a quandry. Toss in the towel? Try another router? Put network masq DNS etc back on my server? Find a solution Sounds like a good idea. Personally, I'd just run my own DNS internally and be happy :) But you might not be quite so comfy with Bind...good luck James!

With Konqueror you can right click on an image, select Actions->Transform Image->Rotate Image. It works well when you have image previews as the file icons because you can easily see the images that need rotating and rotate all in one operation.

Are you sure?
I expect that you are correct, semantically. However this isn't necessarily as
bad as could be read from your comments. We had a bank account under the name
of "Paul Fenwick trading as Perl Training Australia" for some years. I
regularly banked cheques to "Perl Training Australia" into that account without
any comment from the bank employees.
All the best,
J

Re: [SLUG] My system can't find Java tools
Hi Andrew, There seem to be quite a lot of resources on the web for shell. Shell is a programming language with conditionals and loops; you could for instance write a webserver in it if you really wanted to. You could start with http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html which looks quite good. Worth checking out the original classic book "The Unix Programming Environment" - if you ever see it. It's quite expensive but gives you an idea of unix and the shell and how it all came about. On 01/10/06, Andrew Dunkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If you have time, could you possibly explain what the change to /etc/bashrc/ that you suggested did and why it fixed the problem. The original line said PATH=. We changed it to PATH=$PATH:. By including $PATH, we preserve what was already in PATH before this line is executed by the shell. Failing to preserve what was in PATH prior to the execution in this line is what caused you a problem. The line is badly written. The line inside java.sh is relatively well-written. (You have to append a variable name with '$' when used on the RHS of the above example; this tells the shell to insert the value of PATH into the RHS; similarly you say "echo $PATH" to view the value of PATH) You made a comment earlier in this exchange of emails as follows; "It still wouldn't do what you wanted because it would be setting the PATH variable of a subshell running off the shell you logged in to and NOT the shell you are typing into." This made little sense to me as I do not understand how shells and subshells work. That was badly worded. Could you briefly explain what your comment meant. Even if I don't understand your response, it will guide me in further research. To start with, you have shell. This allows you to interact with the linux system (the kernel) to run commands and access files etc. The shell has at least 2 major modes - interactive and "batch-file" mode. When you login to the command line, you are using bash interactively. It displays a prompt and you type names of programs in it, hit return and it then gets the system to execute. eg "ls" to list directory contents. So the shell mediates between you and the os. You can also write shell scripts like your java.sh and store these in files on your system. To execute these, you have to invoke another shell and you do this from your existing interactive shell eg % bash java.sh 'bash' is a new shell; it's a new, separate instance of the same program as the interactive shell you logged in to; because you are running it from your shell, it is referred to as a subshell. It is not interactive because it has been given 'java.sh' to execute. It will execute this and return its status to the interactive shell. That is why 'bash java.sh' or 'sh java.sh' does not work as intended. It only modifies the the subshell executing java.sh. The use of 'export' in java.sh is significant; it puts the shell variable into the execution environments for processes which are executed by the shell executing java.sh. In the case of 'bash java.sh', 'export' is only working with respect to the subshell and any processes it executes not your interactive shell. When you're reading up on this be aware of environment variables vs shell variables (use of 'export' , 'set' , 'printenv' , 'env''; subshells vs using '.'; special shell variables like PATH etc cheers, Daniel. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
