Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, is basicly a revamped version of pptp w/o microsoft extentions by Cisco.
It it NOT IPSec. Nor is it tipiclly used with IPSec. It is one of the two options to create a tunnel between two windows boxes talking using IPSec in Windows 2000.
The ip_masq_pptp patch (witch I beleave is intergrated into the kernel now) basiclly allows for the masquerading of GRE tunnel traffic.
FreeS/WAN will not help you with this, unless you can convince the admins to let you connect using pptp w/o MS encryption and Authenication, Hidden inside IPSec encryption. Beleave it or not, I'm setting it up now so some remote offices of the company I work for can just power up pgpnet ( a free windows ipsec implementation) and then just create a pptp tunnel.
This is very true, You should quietly email whoever else has the root password (preferable a MIS staff member or manager) and get them to do it. So you cannot be blamed for anything down the road.
In all companys there are allways communication problems between managment and MIS. In the company I work for, there are even Communication problems between the owner and Office and Department Managers.
Anyway, When people leave the Headquarters, Their accounts are allways locked and latter deleted. Voicemail is another story, we dont really change somebody's voicemail password till somebody moves into that cubical.
Now, with other Offices, Its another story. I know that some offices only have 10 or 15 ppl there, but we have like 30 logins that are associated with their office. I find it annoying that nobody bothers to email or call me when somebody leaves an office.
I guess as revenge, I will send them all linux file servers.
I dunno, most of it is going to be vaporware. Your best bet may be to get all the offices some sort of internet access, and then use IPSec. This is a hard question.
Help develop opensource software... they wont, they will take control of it. Goverments, Espically Liberally Controled goverments tend to try and have their finger in everything, and control everything.
The goverment is only supposto do XY and Z as defined by the constitution. Writing Open Source Software is not one of them.
You really should go read the docs arin set forth.
You don't own ipv6 addresses, you rent them, you have to pay a renew price every year. And deticated connection isps praticly give you ip addys. Most local dialup isps will charge you at most an additional 5 bucks a month. But still, Think about the intial price for an isp to start up with ipv6.
BTW, i never said it was piracy, its just tooo high of an inital price for most isps. Arin is just trying to get as much money as possible while they think people will still pay them a little bit. They are greedy. Just remember how many ipv6 addys are theoreticly avilable.
I guess its possible to be done in the kenrel with a driver. But I personally think it would be better if it was done in userspace with a tool. Kinda like winzip. Still, maybe you could write a driver for the kernel that a userspace app could plug into to access files in a compressed archive.
I'm sure if its thought out and done right, it could be done read only, but read write access probily would be harder to do. I bet there are some restrictions on archive file structure. That could be gotten around by just rewriting the file All together.
Your Forgetting ARIN is charging like $10,000 for something like 6 thousand ipv6 addresses. It will never be accepted if it costs that much to implement. I think the smallest amount of addresses you can buy from arin is something like 16,000 addresses.
ok, how about this, develop 3 or so servers that share a SCSI chain, with 4 or so big ass scsi hard drives. Use IP over SCSI for interserver communication. If one server Fails, have another one go up with that server's ip address in it's place, and then have it page root.
It wouldn/t be too hard to do, some cron jobs for every 2-3 minutes and shell scripts could do it with no problems.
-LW
BTW:
perhaps multiple scsi busses for more hard drives... and have the IP-Over-SCSI go up and make sure that when a server goes back, that its all ok, and that its not needed immeaditly.
Also, A File system such as EXT3 would be best for the hard drives... perhaps Raid5 between multiple 50 gig SCSI drives.
Dont forget a Autoloading DLT4 backup system to backup all your data. Perhaps 4 servers, 3 main servers and one backup server for backing up data.
The trick is to go in as if your a business, then you can configure linux laptops, desktops, etc. If you go threw the home/small office one, you will only get windows machines.
If memory serves, Code Warrior for linux uses g++
I havent seen a copy of Code Warrior for linux yet though. One of my friends is saving up to buy a copy because he dosent want to run in windows to work on his stuff for his AP Computer Science class.
The reason most schools use code warrior is because it has a nice debugger, you can step through code. It dose java, c++, and pascal. Plus, you can compile that code for Windows or MacOS.
The main reason schools like teaching on windows is because when that blue screen of death pops up, if you know what to read and look at, you can easily tell what data handleing error you got in your f-ed up code.
Now, as a side note, FPC worked great when i was taking computer science using pascal on codewarrior. I even turned in a linux elf binary once or twice .
Personally, I don't see the problem if your like working with standerdized stuff. If your working with MFC shit, your screwed. Standerdized stuff, just use g++ to build it easy.
Anyway, I'm 17, Still in High School, And working as a Network Administrator for a company with 250 to 300 employees. I must note that I don't get paid enouf, I only get 7.25 a hour. Anyway.....
How I got my job, was I made friends with the System's Administrator and he wanted to try out Linux as a fireserver. So we did so, well, we were there at the offices late at night, having pizza and goofing off with a linux box (that did have NT server on it <GRIN> and the head of the company noticed me, and gave me a job.
Well, a few months down the road, working part time, my bud the Systems Administrator quit.
Now this spring, I started working for the company agien, and was branded the "Network Administrator"
Hey, Atleast i get to build linux firewalls and have linux around in the Corperate NT world.
They are still looking for a Systems Administrator in the good old Winston-Salem, NC Area.
If any teens want a "Systems Administration" job, feel free to email me.
Oh, btw, if you say your a Web Designer, you become the lowest pondscum on earth in their minds.
<wonders if there is anything else he is forgetting>
They will never get it, to them, it is their own little world and nothing can change it. When I was a kid going to elementery school outside LA, you couldn't even touch another student, if you did, you risked getting kicked out of the school. Its been slowly heading this way for a long time. The sorry thing about it is that this kid was exersizing his freedom of speech, something schools value, yet they opress him when they dont like what he is saying. Shame on them.
Perhaps if 70 thousand or so angry internet goers were to decend upon that town, somebody would remember what freedom of speech means. Freedom to publish and freedom to say whatever you like, within reason, no screaming FIRE in a crouded theator. The world needs a wakeup call, well, US schools atleast do. Its to the point that if your on Redilin, most teachers just automaticly give you an A. Schools have weird politics, and are out to brain wash kids.
Schools would love it if kids were mindless zombies, they wouldnt have to do crap.
I saw it with my girlfriend last night too. It was pritty good, but I thought that the motercycle scene was unrealistic (primarly driving road motercycles on wet sand, and crossing a road on your front wheel, at full spead, then flipping around and being stopped on a dime)
Anybody can stop by #linux on irc.xworld.org. If somebody is awake, we can allways help you. The one problem is that people allways seem to come in while im sleeping, 11pm to 5am, and never when I'm awake. Oh well. It's my channel, if anybody wants to come bug me, feel free:)

XF4 has only cored out twice on my laptop since the day I installed it. (about a week after it came out)
It's never crashed on my workstation, but its hard to configure.
-LW
What I like most about XF4 is it's speed on my laptop. My laptop only has 16 megs of memory, and it rips now. -LW
Will it include instructions to connect to satelites and get pictures?
