Hi All, I need to configure a VPN between a FreeBSD-4.8 box and a Linux (FreeS/WAN) box. In the Linux side, the network administrator installed FreeS/WAN with RSA authentication without IKE support. Does anybody knows if is possible to make my FreeBSD box connect a VPN with the Linux box? If so, could point me to a documentation about how to install IPSec with RSA authentication and how to make

Hello, I usualy permit TCP traffic on ports from 1025 to 65535 of the servers that I need to permit FTP access. Is there a more secure way to permit FTP access instead of to permit such ports? I have a FreeBSD gateway/router on a building with these ports open and I?m having some problems with users using softwares like Kasaa and eMule. Any help would be appreciated. Thank?s Ronan

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to

Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

Hi all, i have a problem with centos's up2date tool. I have setup a central update server with yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/) under CentOS-4.

I have found a few issues with puppet and the up2date provider (version 0.22.4) that I''d like to run by those who use up2date (to see if others are experiencing the same issues). 1. Puppet doesn''t seem to find the latest updates of packages that are already installed. In looking at "/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/up2date.rb", I found that

Hi, I have already installed 4.2 on my laptop, I only chose GNOME at install time. I now need to use up2date to install kde (I wish to install twinkle softphone). What is the correct way to do that.

List, Being pretty new to CentOS and such, can someone answer a couple of questions about yum and up2date? I think I got the basic info, but I'm a bit confused about what does what. I configured yum to use the dag repo (I think) but now and then, I get the red circle from up2date stuff on the upper menubar. I have been using the up2date function to grab the latest bits when

Hi Folks, as recommended I have only updated up2date , up2date-gnome.# All other packages deselected. Run uptodate - okay. But now I have no channels in up2date - I can't update my system.

Hi all, I want to use UP2DATE to alert me to updates that are available but still use yum to make the update. Up2date alerts me and i see what is available and then update with yum. Up2date icon still shows updates are available. How can I get up2date to know that the system has been updated? Thank you. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! Linux User #296285

I am working on some initial testing of puppet and noticed that when using the package type, I see this in my client logs (from different runs): warning: Found multiple default providers for package: up2date, yum; using up2date warning: Found multiple default providers for package: yum, up2date; using yum This is on a CentOS 4.4 client with puppet-0.22.0-1.el4 (from dlutter repo).

All, There are 3 bugfix updates for CentOS-4 (RC1). 1. mod_perl needed to be recompiled after the RH errata for perl was incorporated, but it was not flagged by the perl update. ( https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803 ) (thanks Joshua Hirsh) 2. httpd identified itself as Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server instead of CentOS ( https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806 ) (thanks

Hi all. I have a simple question: CentOS relies mostly on "yum" to keep systems up to date, although I understand that like on RHEL, "up2date" is also available. On my system I've run both KDE and GNOME as Graphical Desktops under X (though I presently run GNOME), and I've noticed that there is an applet called "CentOS Network Alert Icon" (from the

Someone on the opennms mail list just mentioned that RHEL up2date now provides sun java. Is that a possibility for the Centos repositories? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

If so, how do you configure the up2date client that comes with CentOS to look at the local yum mirror? Conversely, how do you disable the CentOS Network Alert Notification Tool so that users won't see the "throbbing red circle" and be tempted to launch the up2date client? Thanks, Alfred
