CCD 15-11-2012
by Alexander Marx 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Dear List! I made the latest modifications and tested mostly all possibilities. Tested: Roadwarrior with dynamic/static ip works Roadwarrior changed network static->dynamic, dynamic->static, static->static works Roadwarrior IROUTE (Network behind client) works Roadwarrior ROUTE (Network behind IPFIRE) works Converting old clients to new ccd files works Please test this Version. Files go to: Directoy "Tools" - all files in this directory go to /usr/bin/ (make them executable with: chmod +x ccd.pl lang.sh) de.pl, en.pl -> /var/ipfire/langs general-functions.pl -> /var/ipfire/ ovpnmain.cgi -> /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin Then make Languagefiles with new tool "lang.sh" ! (no need to search for the long command in lang.pl anymore ;-)) After that, just execute ccd.pl and your old clients will be converted. Now TEST,TEST,TEST! -- Alexander Marx Fachinformatiker Systemintegration

CCD Extension 14-11-2012
by Alexander Marx 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Dear List! I hope this is the final package ;-) All points from michaels Mail are changed, also a few additional checks where implemented. Please test the package and give feedback! files go to: de.pl -> /var/ipfire/langs/ en.pl -> /var/ipfire/langs/ general-functions.pl -> /var/ipfire/ ovpnmain.cgi -> /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/ after that, create languagefiles. For this, i appended a file i use myself. just copy lang.sh to /usr/bin/ of your ipfire and make it executable with chmod +x /usr/bin/lang.sh After that you just have to type lang.sh and languagefiles will be build! -- Alexander Marx Fachinformatiker Systemintegration

CCD 8.11.2012

Dear List! Just talked to Michael. He would like to see the standard networks in the routingbox (Green,Orange and Blue if they exist). So i coded it! I deleted the standard route line in the server config, and therefore i put GREEN in the routingbox as Default. As always, comments are welcome. -- Alexander Marx Fachinformatiker Systemintegration

Firewall Groups
by Alexander Marx 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Dear List, I reviewed the code for the firewall groups and found out that ii is mostly unusable. Besides the look it lacks some functionality. So if you edit a group, it is edited, but the firewallrules are not updated! That seems to be a bug. I want to develop a firewall gui for the forwarding firewalll (VPN and so on) Therefor i need some extensions. So i wrote them. First extension is the ccd extension, which should be tested by everyone. The next extension is a group-management extension which can be used by the outgoing firewall and the forward firewall (Which i start later) Right now, the group extension is completely seperated from other code and i want to use it for my project. Please install it and test it. Therefor you have to create a directory /var/ipfire/forward for nobody. Then test the extension. It just creates 3 Textfiles (hosts, Net and Groups) If you like it and it finds the way into the distribution, i will go on developing a gui for the forward firewall. Any comments are welcome. This is early code! -- Alexander Marx Fachinformatiker Systemintegration

CCD 6.11.2012
by Alexander Marx 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear List! Again a new package. changes: The Routing box is no longer a textarea. It is now a multiselectbox, which has only the options to select already defined routes from ipfire, which makes sense. So you are only able to push routes to networks which are existent! Therefor i read the /var/ipfire/main/routing file. Also i don't know if that is correct, because if i enter some routes in the ipfire, i can't see them when doing a route on the console. Another point: Can someone please tell me how i get my local git repo synchronised with the one on git.ipfire.org? I put my files in my local repo but i don't know how to sync my local branch "ccd" to the public server. maybe someone can give me some sample commands. my repo should be git://git.ipfire.org/people/amarx/ipfire-2.x.git Thank you -- -- sign Alexander Marx Fachinformatiker Systemintegration
