Ugh, a quick apology to anyone who tried to respond to this e-mail. I recently setup a new server at my house and this was the first time I actually sent e-mail on it using pine instead of from evolution. The sending domain in pine is fixed now, and my server should accept e-mail address to that domain just in case. On Wed, 20 Aug 2003 gboyce@h00207813f68b.ne.client2.attbi.com wrote:
Kerneltrap.org just posted a couple of articles about the native IPSec and how it's different from FreeS/WANs.

Speaking of VPNs...
I just noticed that the September 2003 issue of SysAdmin Magazine, which just showed up in my mail box, has and article titled "Build IPSec VPNs Using the Linux Kernel 2.6". The author talks about a native IPsec Stack being part of the new 2.6 kernel.
The article is not online as far as I know, but here is a link to a web page describing the issue. http://www.samag.com/articles/2003/0309/
And for those wondering what other goodies might be in the 2.6 Kernel: http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html

Andy, thank you for the excellent talk and demo. The tools available to the linux community are top notch. The LTSP project is a prime example of that fact. I would like to suggest a talk on the OpenVPN project for the next meeting. I think it would be really cool if WLUG could sponser a project this winter that involved setting up a network w/ VPN, securing it and then attempting to hack it to find its vulnerabilities. This is probably a naive idea for many reasons...but I think many of us would be interested in learning the proper way of installing, securing, and maintaining our networks.
Cheers, Mike
Hi Mike,
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the LTSP meeting!
With regard to OpenVPN, this is definitely a possibility. Another type of VPN is FreeS/WAN. Are there others? Can somebody compare/contrast these two? Is anybody sufficiently knowledgeable to give a talk on these topics?
Thanks,
Andy
Hi Everybody,
I've just posted the slides from the previous WLUG meeting on the
website.
There are in StarOffice format as well as HTML. From the WLUG home
page,
scroll down and click the link for "Past Meeting Information".
For those of you who were unable to attend, I dare say you missed a
meeting. There were alot of questions and people really seemed
interested in
the topic. Fortunately, my client computer booted off of my laptop
server
just like it did when I left home.
I even went out on a limb and attempted to get Doug Waud's computer
working as
a client, since the "live demo" concept seems to be a popular feature
of WLUG
meetings. I hadn't seen Doug's computer previously, but he did bring
good the
proper network boot floppy. I "got Doug-ed" the first time (you've
got to
watch your cables and power cords around Doug) by a network cable that
wasn't
entirely plugged in. By the third attempt, his client booted with minor video artifacts, probably due to not using the correct XFree86 software.
I'm soliciting ideas for the next meeting, which will be the first
meeting of
the year with the new crop of WPI students. I hope to have a great
meeting
planned so that the WPI students will continue to attend, as they
constitute
a sizeable percentage of the WLUG membership.
See ya later,
Andy
