That should not. But it appear this is my mistake.
I write the code to do that and commit rev1.2.2.7.
But this part disappear when I cancel some previous code changes in 1.2.2.8
Will be fixed on 1.4.16

I recently took a backup from 1.4.10 and restored it to a
1.4.15installation. I ran into a few problems that I thought you might
want to be
aware of.

1. I had to manually encrypt the key so the backup could be used. Not a
problem for me.
2. The 1.4.15 installation does NOT create a "backup" account when using an
old (prior to 1.4.11) backup file.
3. Login as root and edit /var/ipcop/ethernet/settings
   Change eth0 and eth1 drivers to match new box.
4. Add "backup:x:107:107::/var/empty:/bin/false" to passwd file
5. Add "backup:x:13093:0:99999:7:::" to shadow file (change numbers to match
other entries in this file)
6. Run setup and set the "backup" password.
7. Run "/usr/local/bin/httpscert new" (to create a new matching certificate)


Did I miss anything?

No other problems noted to date.

The trouble here is that pppoe doesn't really fit into either category
cleanly. It both requires an ethernet card and dialup settings, whereas
every other connection type requires one or the other. I can't really
see how we'd do what you ask without showing the modem options page to
people with red set as static/dhcp ethernet. That seems like it'd be
pretty confusing to most people too.

Really so long as you understand that anything that requires changing
the type of connection on red means using setup there's not much of an
issue here. It may take a few seconds to remember, but it's something
that is done really rarely anyway, and it is covered in the
documentation.

There is an effort to move things this way in the next version. However,
it's not as easy as you suggest. The problem here is that you can't
guarantee that configuring red won't drop the network on green in all
situations. If you're going from red is modem to red is ethernet for
example you need to add a new NIC, and if that NIC shares the same
chipset as an existing NIC then setting up the driver for the new NIC
may influence (re-configure, reload, etc) the driver for a pre-existing
NIC too.

Summary: DHCP long delay after fixed leases

Initial Comment:
Hi there I recentrly noticed that the DHCP module which comes with the IPCOP takes hours load the complete site when I give some fixed leases. Total count for fixed leases when it begins to slow down is 5, at the moment I have about 40 - the page won't even load anymore now!

Thanks

Jonas

I had quite a search to find this and luckily I had a friend who told
me where it was.  Would it be possible for the pppoe "modem" configuration
be moved to the place that modems are otherwise dealt with on the
web page for modems?  I find that the trick of remembering that
pppoe is a variation of the RED setup configuration to be a less

Moving anything from the setup menus that do not impact the network
interfaces to drop the web interface to the web interface would be
appreciated.  Ideally one could acccess IPcop thru the green interface and

Summary: IPCop as Xen guest

Initial Comment:
It would be nice to have support for Xen included in the IPCop kernel.

Some information on how to possibly accomplish this is available from
http://www.pug.org/images/d/dd/Tutorial_IPCop-auf-xen.pdf
Unfortunately this is pretty outdated, but may still be useful.

It would be nice to have it in the stock IPCop distribution though, especially for updates and security fixes.

There are many usage scenarios where one could use this:
- many "old" computers nowadays are fast enough to run at least one virtual machine (but don't have virtualization extensions in their processors yet), so one could set up a server and for the sake of easier configuration and security run IPCop in a virtual machine as a router/firewall and only run services not provided by IPCop on the host/in another virtual machine.
- instead of having a designated server, one of the Linux machines in the network could run IPCop in a virtual machine to act as a router/firewall for the network or even only for the machine itself.

Summary: Generation of PKS12 certificate fails

Initial Comment:
I'm using IPCOP 1.4.15.
The generation of pkcs12 certificate from the GUI fails when PKCS12 password contains special characters like <&> or <">.

When this bug occurs, we can download a pem file but not a p12 file.

Summary: IDS on Orange showing as disabled in System Status

Initial Comment:
As of build 1.4.15, I noticed in System Status that IDS was disabled on Orange despite it being ticked on the IDS page.

I un-ticked all (Green, Orange and Red) and saved.

Now Green and Red show as disabled but Orange shows as enabled.

Re-enable all in IDS and Red and Green are OK but Orange shows as Disabled again.

Thanx

That come from the kernel sources

Hi,

I have an issue with installing the IPCop on a particular mainboard. The
 installation CD boot will start but the execution halts when reaching the
 line:

"Real Time Clock Driver v1.10f"

I have tested this mainboard with the XUbuntu 6.10 (Alternative), which wor=
ks
 fine all the way with both installation and operation. I did notice that t=
he
 XUbuntu uses another version of the driver, which displays as:

"Real Time Clock Driver v1.12"

As I suspect this could be the reason behind the halted execution boot, I
 would like to try to change the IPCop v1.10f RTC driver into the XUbuntu
 v1.12 driver.

So my question is:
=2DWhat is the name of the binary file that contains the Real Time Clock Dr=
iver
 (v1.10f) during IPCop Installation CD Boot?

Anyone?

Best regards,
Peter

There apparently is a way, since I know of apps that do it, both IE and 
Firefox.  Unfortunately the app is commercial, so I can't just give you 
the code.  I can check and see if how it was done however.  Perhaps the 
info can be passed along.

Could you answer to the question (result of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices)?

Gilles

Hi,

Are there any plans to upgrade the Modem Drivers list? Today I use a Zyxel 630-11 ADSL modem, but that is no longer in production from the manufactorer. I just bought a new breed of the Zyxel modem, called Prestige 630-C1. The drivers for 630-11 does not work for this one.

The circuit inside is named:

Conexant
Accessrunner
CX82320-25

I've a driver project for this though, at this link:

http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/modems.shtml

Is there any chanse that IPCop will adopt this new driver as well?

Best regards,
Peter

If browserclient=IE then warn: 
   "Logout won't work, use Firefox"


But if there is a way with timeout it would be better to spent the
time on that.

It is simple enougth solution to implement,  why avoid it then? And real

Not verified if it is applicable to our system.

The problem with that solution is that it doesn't work with some 
(prevelant) versions of IE. 

It doesn't require code - just have a link like so 
<a href="http://logout:pas...@ww.../logout/">Logout</a>

authenticates to the /logout directory.

On Mozilla based browsers this will clear the previous authentication 
cache for the domain however it wont work on IE so it's not much of a 
solution.

I assume 1.4.13 as it wa during an bigger update (10->15) 
I'll try 1.4.15 to see what happens.

Hm. There must be an easier way.
See for example the "firmware update" page in

It dowlaods a new falsh image, burns it, reboots and shows
all phases in the web interface.

Thans.I know that "timout" is very difficult to implemted and
would be no good because the password stays cached in the browser.
Maybe the trick might be (i'm no HTTP expert) to redirect the user
to a login screen where the user is forced to fill in form
with user an password. As long as he didn't do that all HTTP requests
end's on that page. But i second tahtthis would be no realgood solution.

Appox. 3 years ago i made it because it was so easy.
I just traced what was transfered during a normal page call
and made a pseudo link in the menu line with a fixed (=wrong) password.

Sorry Harry, just tried replying to that and got:
   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<gol...@so...>
    (reason: 550 Unrouteable address)

(sorry devel list for sending via list, but obviously no other way at the
moment)

>Lawrence: can you send me your ipcop.org account?

I do not believe I've ever officially registered at ipcop.org. I just
tried and got:
"Error! Called unknown function: Mailer_userapi_sendmessage()"

Preferred username is LBean, feel free to set me up and generate a random
password for me. 

I never saw this. With how much i use ipcop in my business if Lawrence 
would like help with the FAQ let me know.

Sure, and I *think* I've used it before.

>Which operating systems do you have?

I am a technology coordinator for a school system, so I have access to
machines running Win98, Win2000, WinXP, WinV, MacOS9, MacOSX, and Linux
(two working Debian systems as well as hardware to install other distros).
I'm MacOSX and Debian at home.

Are you at UMaine (unet.maine.edu)? I'm an MSLN site with five production
IPCops. I'll be doing an IPCop session at the Gould Academy open source
gathering in June.
