A bit off topic - phpnuke et al.

by Stephen C. Daukas

I'm posing this question becuase I'm betting some on this list have ventured down the path before me... I'm looking to avoid having to keep up on the latest and greatest web development stuff just to have a useful an interesting site. So, I'm looking for something like phpnuke to convert over to. I am aware of phpnuke, and other similar packages out there. I'm planning on downloading nuke to see what it can and can't do... I wouldn't mind having control over things providing I have the time, but am to the point where I do not want ot have to write code every time I get an idea. I already have a job... So, anyone have a favorite tool, collection of tools, etc., that they would recommend for a person site that supports logins, discussion threads, etc.? Steve

RH9 and MySQL

by Bill Smith

Anyone know off-hand what version(s) of MySQL is available with the RH9 installation? I checked out the RH website, but i didn't get any useful information. I'm looking to see if the latest MySQL release (4.x) is included...

I think you actually might want a vpn between networks ... If you put your wireless network behind a firewall, and then only allow ipsec through it onto your home lan (and I assume onto the internet eventually). Then your vpn uses the wireless network as the untrusted network (instead of using the internet as the untrusted network). Anyone not on the VPN can't get any packets onto the rest of your network. This does 2 things. 1) Encryption like you want so people can't see what you're doing. 2) Authentication - so only authorized people on the VPN can access anything on the rest of the network. This could be a lot stronger protection than WEP gives you. Of course I've never actually done this, but there was an article I read a while back suggesting it, perhaps it's in the Linux Journal archives. -Marc On Wed, 23 Apr 2003, Wes Allen wrote: > Is anyone out there using freeswan? > > I'm thinking of repeating my wireless network over to my office after my move > and I'm thinking of setting up freeswan to encrypt the traffic more tightly > on the network when I do. > > The howto's I've found have been on setting up a vpn between networks, is it > possible to set up freeswan to encrypt traffic on a single lan (until sdmca > laws make it technically illegal to do so.....). > > Wes > -- > ------ > This message may be signed using GPG, for my public key please > send me a message with "Key Request" in the subject line. > > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > > > >

freeswan

by Wes Allen

Is anyone out there using freeswan? I'm thinking of repeating my wireless network over to my office after my move and I'm thinking of setting up freeswan to encrypt the traffic more tightly on the network when I do. The howto's I've found have been on setting up a vpn between networks, is it possible to set up freeswan to encrypt traffic on a single lan (until sdmca laws make it technically illegal to do so.....).

If anybody wants to embelish the description, please send me your suggestions and I'll post them. In fact, I found the talk so interesting that I just went out and bought the Hauppauge PVR-350.
