[Vtun-Users] Paint-by-Numbers for setting up Vtun on a fresh RH72 install

[Bishop <bi...@ca...>]

Folks,

seeing the work that one poster recently suffered to get his VTun going,
I thought I should chime in with the one I use to get my tunnel nodes
going.  Please make sure you are familiar with CUTTING and PASTING
before continuing, as the ability to run this cookie-cutter depends on
those skills.  8-)

Tested from a fresh install, as late as today.

------------
#Base RH72 server install expected

#prep and update - flavour to taste
rpm -e ghostscript ghostscript-fonts rhs-printfilters cyrus-sasl-devel
rpm -Fvh <RH 72 updates>
rpm -ivh <kernel-source>
init 6

#set up kernel
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4 /usr/src/linux
cp -a /usr/src/linux/configs/kernel-2.4.9-i686.config \
    /usr/src/linux/.config
make -C /usr/src/linux oldconfig

#set up TUN
wget --dir /tmp http://www.platypus.bc.ca/SRPMS/tun-1.1-3.src.rpm
rpm --rebuild /tmp/tun-1.1-3.src.rpm 
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/tun-1.1-3.i386.rpm
echo "alias char-major-10-200 tun" >> /etc/modules.conf  && depmod -a

#set up lzo for vtun
wget --dir /tmp http://www.platypus.bc.ca/SRPMS/lzo-1.06-3.src.rpm
rpm --rebuild /tmp/lzo-1.06-3.src.rpm 
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lzo-*1.06-3.i386.rpm

#set up vtun
wget --dir /tmp http://www.platypus.bc.ca/SRPMS/vtun-2.5b1-1.src.rpm
rpm --rebuild /tmp/vtun-2.5b1-1.src.rpm 
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/vtun-2.5b1-1.i386.rpm

#get config and GO, baby!
wget -q -O- [remote-stored vtund.conf] > /etc/vtund.conf
vtund fedora-slappy happy

In my travels, I noticed my tun derivative package just Isn't Going to
Work.  I'll post the 1.1-3 package on my site:

http://www.platypus.bc.ca/SRPMS/tun-1.1-3.src.rpm
http://www.platypus.bc.ca/SOURCES/tun-1.1.spec.diff
http://www.platypus.bc.ca/SOURCES/tun-1.1.tar.gz

Enjoy.
