DynDNS support for ddns project.
by Stefan Schantl 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hello guys, i've created a patch for the Dynamic DNS client for IPFire. (http://git.ipfire.org/?p=oddments/ddns.git;a=summary) My patch will add support for the very popular "dyndns.org" provider. However I wasn't able to test my changes, because I don't have any account there and I seems new members have to purchase to use use it. So, I need your help to test my changes and finally be able to support that provider in the next major version of IPFire. Best regards, Stefan

Great that you merged it for 2.13 :) There is are one minor glitch for the status icon (showing parts of another icon cause of missing div) in the "anstehende uploads" table and the delete icon. For this i will send a small patch later this day.

Updated Updxlrator and other changes
by Jörn-Ingo Weigert 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Hello List, I would like to introduce a "little" modified updxlrator wui for actual ipfire 2.11 Core65. Because of the changes I made to optimize the code in functionality and more conformity to the xhtml 1.0 web-standard to speed up rendering process in the browsers, the attached zip-file affected not only updxlrator but also the followed parts: 1. apache: Modified /etc/httpd/conf/loadmodules.conf - enable mod_deflate for compression the output files (except graphics) if browser supports it. Modified /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts.d/ipfire-interface-ssl.conf - enabling compression for whole SSL-Web interface 2. Theme "ipfire" & "maniac": Due to performance problems with browser google chrome when in maintenance view and having lots of files in updatecache, these problems results from some missing and/or not correct declared tags in the begin of each page. These changes are: - Sending Request-Header Content-Type instead of <meta Content-Type [..]> (Recommend by microsoft for IE >= Ver 8) - Modified Declaration: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN' ' http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <head> .... These changes let perform google chrome like a charm rendering the pages within ~15 secs like other browsers (tested with IE9, Opera, Firefox in actual versions) instead of waiting for minutes ... - Made some bugfixing to the theme code, cause it produce errors in validator. 3. Web-UI in general and addons which use the "age"-function from general-functions - modified age function to show the time translated, in single and plural terms, but only the parts, which make sense. Example instead of showing: 0d 0h 47m 15s, it will show now: 47 Minutes, 15sec. in connection time 4. Added some strings to de.pl and en.pl so you have to run "perl -e "require '/var/ipfire/lang.pl'; &Lang::BuildCacheLang" ... The web-ui of updxlrator is now fully xhtml1.0-valid by test with the w3c-validator. The attached file contains the complete folder structure (etc/srv/var) and only contain the files I changed / added, so there should be no problems when you copy it over / .... hopefully. I would be really happy to hear something about it, at least from ones who have really large updatecaches. Kind regards, Jörn-Ingo Weigert (nightshift)

May some check it if he recognise the same? Thanks -Daniel -- __________________________________________ You need a firewall? Easy to use? Powerful? Modular?

Feature request

Hello Today I've got an idea and I would like to know if it is possible and how many work we have to spend on it. 1st idea: Make it possible to switch (on/off), over the webif, the MAC-filter on blue over the webif. 2nd idea: Make it possible to switch (on/off), over the webif, that the clients on blue may connect each other. Please tell me what you think about it. - Daniel -- You need a firewall? Easy to use? Powerful? Modular? For free? www.ipfire.org An Open Source Firewall Solution

Possible bug in OpenVPN, Core 65
by R. W. Rodolico 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

See http://forum.ipfire.org/index.php/topic,7365.0.html for information. Turns out the CCD does not work if the user has embedded spaces in the CN (field labeled "User's full name or system hostname:" on Road Warrior creation screen). I don't remember exactly, but I believe OpenSSL or OpenVPN itself converts spaces to underscores. You can test this by creating a user, embedding spaces, and then on the server cat /var/log/ovpnserver.log You will note the Common Name has spaces converted to underscores. The solution is to write the ccd file with underscores, ie $filename =~ s/ /_/gi; If someone will point me to the script that creates that, I will be happy to patch and test, then send you the diff. Rod NOTE: I have spent a little time looking at this and solving it for an existing installation, but I intend to pull an old router out and reconfigure it for a controlled test, unless someone else can verify my findings independently.

Unterstützung
by morlix 06 Jan '13

Hallo zusammen, ich verwende jetzt schon ziemlich lange IPFire und bin eigentlich mit dem Produkt sehr zufrieden. Was mich allerdings etwas stört, ist die meiner Meinung nach schlechte Reaktion auf Hilfe die ich anbiete, wobei ich mit dieser Email gerne auch erfahren will, was ich eventuell falsch gemacht habe. Ich meine damit folgendes. Ich habe 2 Bugs im Bugtracker geöffnet und niemand bearbeitet diese, obwohl es meiner Meinung nach kein großer Aufwand wäre. Es geht dabei um folgende Bugs: 10065 New Bacula 5.2.6 FileDaemon Addon (https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10065) 10233 Severall small improvements for the backiso script (https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10233) Also die konkrete Frage ist, was muss ich tun oder ändern, damit das was ich als Unterstützung einreiche auch Beachtung findet. Ich frage dies deshalb, da ich in meinem ipfire 2.x clone an den conntrack-tools, einem update für Bacula und check_mk für IPFire arbeite und ich diese Arbeit gerne in euer Projekt einfließen lassen würde. Mir ist klar das ihr lieber Supporter hättet die sehr aktiv in Forum und Maillingliste sind, aber ich habe selbst sehr viel zu tun mit meiner Arbeit und daher kann ich nur anbieten was ich eben nebenher noch leisten kann. Danke und Gruß morlix
