[Devil-linux-develop] user/group management

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

I just finished some changes in the usermanagement of the build system.
 From now on you just need to use the standard command line user 
management tools (e.g. useradd, userdel, groupadd, etc.). The build 
system will later convert everything into the shadow format and copy 
them into the $ETCDIR/etc folder.

This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.03' of
'Syslinux' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information
can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/syslinux/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This version adds support for several broken PXE stacks, including the

adds support for gzip compressed images in MEMDISK. 

Project description:
SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which
operates off of MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to simplify
first-time installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for
boot floppies. A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard
MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools
once it has been created, and requires only a ~ 9K DOS program or ~
18K Linux program to create it in the first place. It also includes
PXELINUX, a program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM
compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution Environment)
specification, ISOLINUX, a program to boot off ISO 9660 CD-ROMs in
native mode, and MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems
(e.g. DOS) using a Linux boot loader regardless of medium.

Subject: Contribution - Static routes / arp entries
Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 12:55:43 -0700
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook CWS, Build 9.0.2416
(9.0.2911.0)

Hi Heiko,

After working with devil-linux for a week or so I found
it arduous to keep
manually entering static routes / arp entries for my
DMZ interface.  I
checked the devil-linux cvs for any updates or
solutions and didn't see any
so here is a possible solution for your review.  I do
realize that many
people may just add the route / proxy additions to the
firewall.rules script
however this is less than ideal if you want to use
fwbuilder for your rules
generation.  Most installations static entries / proxy
arps won't change
while their firewall.rules will which made it more
desirable to place these
in another script.

This is a really simple addition.  I made it flexible
enough that you can
specify a begin and end address for say a whole class c
block to listen on
your external interface and proxy arp to the dmz
interface.  It requires two
additional scripts and a modification to the config
script to add the
variable ADD_STATIC_ROUTES right before the firewall
rules are loaded.

Summary
-----------
/etc/sysconfig/config - Addition of variable
ADD_STATIC_ROUTES

/etc/init.d/routes - New startup script
/etc/routes.conf - New configuration script

chown 700  /etc/init.d/routes
chown 700 /etc/routes.conf

Changes to runlevels
-------------------------
ln -s ../routes /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S06routes
ln -s ../routes /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S06routes

Attached find the three files in question


Additional Info which may or may not be helpful
----------------------------------------------------------

Here is my basic setup to get a picture

default gateway =  66.247.73.174

eth0 - external static "66.247.73.169" 255.255.255.248
eth1 - dmz bogus address "192.168.254.254"  public
range 170-173 are arped
via eth0 and a route entry
eth2 - internal "192.168.0.1"

Using fwbuilder for iptables generation

With this setup I only give up one static ip address
for the firewall ext
interface... many other references on the net show how
to create dmz's but
give up extra addresses because they use their public
addresses for the dmz
port.  The dmz bogus address is just that bogus, it
prevents the routing
table from seeing it as 0.0.0.0 and screwing things up
for your internal
interface.  Most isp's don't assign blocks large enough
these days to be
worth subnetting out so I find this works well and
preserves the address
space for those of us with small subnets.


Thanks,
Matt Axsom

You was you, i and everybody who install DL boxes (should i have said 
"one is trying to seell it" ?? ) ... hope you don't take for you my 
cynicism against the rules that leads our world

Last 6 month, I sold 4 DL boxes around (not the pc nor DL, but the work 
i do on/with it),  to make adsl routers with firewall with remote 
admin/watch, taking the "place of France Telecom" (our hated 
monopolistic operator) cause it' cheaper, rock solid as hardware .... 
and I try to live from my work (can't manage until now :-{ ) , 'cause 
it's  HARD to promote  FREE Software against M$ & Co ... but i'm Fanatic ;-)

so i UNDERSTAND You whish to earn some money, you don't have to justify 
!! I'll be HAPPY you  DO, you DESERVE it !

Frankly my eLSD version of DL is a marketing attempt (I admit it ;) )

The business model is not for money directly, but to create a model which would
be the lauch point for replacing microsoft, thereby succeeding in total global
domination.

Just kidding !!

My experimental work in converting DL to a harddisk version exposed a lot of
the  antiquated nature of unix/linux.

My biggest issue is that Initrd is ram disk and not vfs and that initrd, being
so central to all linuxes (except debian, I think) has no development track.

I also feel that the init process is too constricting and that the inittab
should be completely optional.  For decades, Berkeley Unix and SunOS worked
fine w/ only two rc files.

Changing DL means weakening the security sturcture.  My significant change to
DL was to add a local /etc/ for auto boot if the floppy was not present.  This
weakens the structure because, based on a floppy failure, your firewall starts
looking for a DHCP server !!  Not good.

I think that is the DL quandry.  This is why I advocate application development
rather than radically changing DL.  along w/ documentation as Fredrick has been
producing.

One close friend and linux society member, Fancis :: rec...@ao..., is
complaining that OpenSSH is out of control and full of holes.  Thinking about
something Heiko said about stunnel being a good basic protocol, I suggested
using stunnel to wrap telnet.

I built a metrics and documentation OO dataserver over the years, DepthDB.
It has gotten big enough to be out of control itself, requiring a versioning
system.  Since I broke it and can't seem to fix it, I need to roll back to an
earlier working version.  It needs to be installed into sourceforge and then I
need look for students seeking perl knowledge to create new features.

The system is extremely fast, scales endlessly, and has an OO html editing and
creation system and relies completely on the OS for its strength.  It will
require a C or C++ multi-threading server to be able to scale in the number of
simultaneous updating users.  This would have to be in-lined into the perl
modules.

DeptDBs strongest asset is its simplicity.  The code is so sparse that you can
instantly spot any possible security flaws.  Even a non-perl person can do
this.

As soon as my taxes are out of the way (today), I am going to get a simplifed
working version and demo it for you guys as a possible DL documentation and
configuration dataserver.

Going a little farther w/ the perl concept, it appears that perl remains the
best, or even only OO language for the Unix variants at the OS level, despite
the popularity of Python.  Perl is a hybrid of the basic Unix languages, shell,
C, awk and sed, its perfect (so get rid of it)**

** from the geekcode site

The Webmin product is in perl, and has a perl SSL webserver, and I have my perl
written portal up and running, http://www.thinman.com, which I invite you to
fool with.

Maybe you can guess that I think perl is a good direction for DL.  The perl
culture itself needs direction and guidence at the moment.  I, admitedly, got
hotheaded at certain points while trying to advocate the language, because over
reacted to some really hard headed attitudes in the perl community.  It would
be much better idea to approach perl politics as a group.

Perls new shining star is the Parrot VM.  Despite being named after an Aprils
fool joke annoucing the merging of perl and python, it is deadly serious in
that it based on CPU registers rather than CPU intensive stacks.  IMHO that
bring perl right down to the hardware level.. but that is another topic, DL
v3.*

Re: [Devil-linux-develop] v1.0

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

I felt that 0.6 was definately a 1.0

It is almost impossible to improve on, just minor improvements.

The big change to DL is to build the web based ISO creator, and the diluted
versions with remote configuration.

I see it as a possible test base for techniques, like using stunnel for various
apps with strong documentation.  

I wish it were possible to force users to document everything they do.

Why not. Redhat also jumped from 8.0 to 9.0 (I'd say to get above SuSE, at
least in the version number) so why not start a new numbering schema.

So 1.0 is a final, 1.1 the next beta release and so on. Till we jump
to 2.0 some time later :-)

[Devil-linux-develop] v1.0

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

Topher, the guy who sells the CDs for us (or at least tries), made the 
suggestion that we should change the version number of DL to v1.0 
instead of 0.6.

I think he's right, that sounds much more confident for our users. On 
the other hand we're still far away from the point where we want to be, 
but will we ever be perfect ?

DL has it's second birthday coming up in a couple of month, wouldn't it 
earn a 1.0 release?

Comments welcome...
