Hi, I use CentOS as a firewall/proxy/webserver/fileserver in my small network. As the small-spec machine with CentOS is heavily loaded/used I can't afford downtime. 20 GB, pentium II with only 128 MB RAM. However I want to know the news on 4.5 is it due soon? Can I gain more by running CentOS 3.x range on such an old machine like mine? Will CentOS 5.0 mean you need a minimum of 512 RAM?

I know a lot of you are using IPCop where you work. They have three (3) updates posted, during the past two (2) days. The last one, I'm getting an error, when I try to Download it, and I will report that to the IPCop list or bugzilla after I send this message. "No such file or directory http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ipcop/ipcop-1.4.21-update.i386.tgz.gpg?download" The problem I

I have purchased a used Compaq DL360 which I was going to use as a proxy server. Presently, we are using a cheap box with ipcop which is working fine but it didn't have much RAM (64MB), etc. This new box we will want to run squid and perhaps dansguardian for filtering (this is a non-profit company) and I'm wondering if I should just put ipcop on it or would it be smarter/better to install

Hello All! My 1st use of CentOS went well on my later eqpt. Thanks and congrats on a good product. Figured I might as well see if I could use it on some old stuff, still good but obsolete. Picked an AMD 5x86 (equivalent to a Pentium 75 MHz) and decided to see if I could make it my gateway/router. Had some difficulties, not unexpected. Old CD drive couldn't read the CDs. No boot from CD

Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of setting up a firewall/access point DomU and I would like to know if there is any way to run a linux kernel 2.4(.34) based system as a DomU. The primary reason for this is that I want to run IPCop on such a kernel, but also that I consider kernel 2.4 based systems to be more suitable for some applications, especially for use as a firewall.

Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables.... Maybe Shoreline with webmin.... Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the

Just download Syslinux 1.75 and set it up on my SuSE 7.3 box with latest ISC 3.x DHCP release. I am using the SuSE supplied in.tftp, and an IBM PC client with a IBM EtherJet (actually an Intel Pro 100) nic. Everything was actually quite straight forward to setup, and I got PXELinux working without too much trouble. I am booting several different DOS images without problem, and think my Linux

We have a samba server behind a firewall with the IP address 192.168.200.2 and a Windows 2000 Domain controller with the IP address 192.168.255.1 . When we put the samba in the same subnet then it woks fine. We forwarded the fooling ports: TCP and UDP 192.168.200.2 to 192.168.255.1 port 137 192.168.200.2 to 192.168.255.1 port 138 192.168.200.2 to 192.168.255.1 port 139 192.168.200.2 to

Hi, I am trying to use two products that use SysLinux and finally realised the SysLinux is the cause of my woes. I'm trying to use Freesco and IPCop. IPCop version 1.3 used a different boot loader to 1.4 which uses SysLinux. I have been through numerous trials and tribulations in trying to get Freesco to work but eventually gave up and went with IPCop. I kept getting the "Boot

I'm running Asterisk 1.2.13 on a Solaris 10 X86 box behind an IPCop firewall on a 5Mbps down/512 up cable connection. I'm having sound quality problems when users call in for voicemail and with music on hold. The sound is choppy and muffled while souding pretty good for calls inside the network. I'd appreciate some pointers as to where to start looking to improve things. I've

Hi Everyone, I've got kids who are growing older and I want to build a Linux box to filter Internet access. I've got six computers on the Internet, plus the laptops -- most run Windows. I'm not sure if it's called a router or gateway or...? I don't mind doing the leg work, I just don't know where to start. I'm pretty sure I'm *not* looking for a web server (though

Is there a list of which kernel versions (are supposed to) work with (each version of) klibc? I do recall reading something that said klibc should run under any version of the kernel, regardless of which version it is compiled against. Following the new instructions on this list earlier (to use the KLIBCKERNELSRC= parameter to point to the installed kernel headers) as well as also making the

Hello everybody, for just one week I try to install three servers on an OpenSuSE 10.3 dom0 equipped with 4 NICs. One server is an OX using the onboard NIC via xenbr0. This server runs!! For my IPCop server I intended to use the three remaining NICs (Intel Pro100/S, 3Com 3C590, Realtek RTL-8139). These three NICs should be used natively by my IPCop. So I tried to use the pciback driver. I wrote a

Hi, I have tried unsuccesfully to limit my ftp server send speed in linux. I have an ipcop linux firewall/router with 2 nics. 1 nic (eth1) is connected to a 3mbit/384Kbit cable connection and the other (eth0) a switch. Behind it i have a suse linux box and a windows box. On the suse box i run proftpd. I need to shape my passive ftp send speed to 34KBytes because if it is maxed out at 45K

Well it appears i have no clue what im doing. I thought i had the below script working to shape outbound ftp traffic....however, it is shaping inbound traffic too. I have NO clue why. Please comment if anyone has any ideas why this doesnt work. I want to shape only outbound ftp traffic and not inbound or lan traffic. #!/bin/bash #shaping passive and active outbound ftp traffic on an

I am currently running the following script on an internal machine to shape outbound ftp and email traffic. I am trying to move the script to my nat router (ipcop with 2 nic cards) so that it shapes the whole network and not only the outbound of 1 box. I have cable modem -> ipcop (eth1) >(eth0 - 192.168.1.1) > 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101. The scripts works great running on

We are looking for a good firewall replacement which will basically do pot blocking and QOS. Our current solution just plain stinks.. We basically need to handle the traffic of a few web servers, mail server and asterisk box. The most traffic this device will need to handle is what can be shoved through a T1. I don't mind buying an appliance to get something solid but IP Cop just looks
