12:09.27dick_turpinHad Friday and Monday off, only went on the laptop at home yesterday afternoon to clear down my "Get a bigger penis" emails :-)
12:14.57boudiccasecstatic
12:15.08boudiccasi think thats the right one dick_turpin :)
12:17.32dick_turpinSo has everyone taken a few minutes to remember 9/11 seeing as today is the sixth anniversary?
12:18.03morsingNo of course not
12:23.34boudiccasi remembered that today is my uncles birthday
12:24.54bilarhi remembered :-)
12:25.08bilarhcorr, i can't believe it's six years
12:25.15dick_turpinI'm ashamed to say I'd forgotton, I actually feel pretty bad
12:25.16bilarhi had just moved to london a couple of months earlier
12:25.35bilarhmy mum was on the blower telling me to come home
12:26.06clive-hI was working for Demon then, we first heard about it on IRC
12:26.08bilarhall the news sites were completely ddos'ed so i got my news from a car bbs in sweden :D
12:26.26goibhniuI was chatting with a girl from australia at the time  ... I was the first in the office to hear about it and cnn.com etc were all down
12:26.30clive-hThen we went to the NOC and watched it on Sky
12:27.17bilarhit was such a surreal feeling as well
12:27.22bilarha bit similar to the tube bombings
12:27.35dick_turpinI was at work, we watched it on a crappy black and white TV with a bit of wire as the ariel
12:27.44clive-hluckily I was working from home at that point
12:28.30morsingboudiccas: Has it always been today?
12:28.55goibhniumorsing: it's always now
12:29.23morsinggoibhniu: You know her uncle?
12:29.53goibhniumaybe
12:30.50dick_turpinI am boudiccas's uncle :-P
12:31.16goibhniusince we're talking about war and imperialism ... I heard an interesting hitler quote the other day
12:31.16bilarhdick_turpin: a special uncle? ;-)
12:31.29boudiccasyes, his birthday has always been today ever since he was born
12:31.48morsingdick_turpin: Historically I think boudiccas is older than you ;-)
12:31.54boudiccasdick_turpin; no you're not. my uncle is a retired vicar
12:32.26morsingBye... :')
12:32.29morsing:'(
12:32.33morsing13:28 < dick_turpin> I am boudiccas's uncle :-P
12:32.39morsingHuh?

12:33.20boudiccasdick_turpin; is a nom de plume, aka peter, whereas my said uncle is called george

12:36.06morsing?
12:36.10morsingyou'[ve lost me?
12:38.42goibhniu"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"
12:41.36tripitakaI know I don't
12:42.19boudiccasgoibhniu; goerge as in gw280 ?
12:42.43goibhniumaybe we should speak of it every year on uncle george's birthday
12:42.57goibhniuboudiccas: I doubt it very much
12:43.07tripitakaThere was an interesting case a couple of weeks ago - the head of the ADL in New England was kicked out for referring to the Armenian Genocide. Israel has good relations with Turkey and tries not to equate the two acts of genocide.
12:43.54goibhniusometimes it's genocide ... sometimes it's just business
12:44.10tripitaka(for small values of interesting, obviously)
12:44.50clive-hyes but then israel had good relations and supplied arms to apartheid south africa too
12:45.19clive-hbreaching the international sanctions against south africa
12:45.22bilarhisrael is a complete rouge state imo
12:45.37bilarhthe us should invade them
12:45.49clive-hI thought they had
12:46.06bilarhoh but I forget... they're almost christian :-\
12:46.27clive-hexcept the natives
12:47.06bilarhdude, nobody cares about natives :-)
12:47.45goibhniuI recently heard that they have suicide bombers on battlestar galactica
12:47.50goibhniuis that true?
12:48.16tripitakaNations are like French roundabouts. The people arriving have the most rights, anyone currently on the roundabout has to make way.
12:49.26bilarhtripitaka: hehe, nice allegory
12:49.54clive-hanalogy surely
12:50.28bilarhhmm... not sure actually...
12:50.34niv_one_threehi all, I would like to know how to handle a scenerio where I got to NIC to the lan. should I run each iptables command twice to allow stuff to the lan?
12:50.35bilarh# A symbolic representation: The blindfolded figure with scales is an allegory of justice.
12:51.02bilarhniv_one_three: huh? two nic's to the same lan, yes?
12:51.04niv_one_threeor may I define both ethernet and wireless to be one entety
12:51.19tripitakaI thought an allegory was like a narrative analogy
12:51.42tripitakaniv_one_three are you bonding them?
12:51.50niv_one_threethe pc has three NIC, one to WAN one ether to lan and the other wireless to LAN
12:52.00niv_one_threewhat is bonding?
12:52.09niv_one_threeshould I bond them?
12:52.29bilarhhmm, i guess analogy might fit better
12:52.39bilarhno, don't bond a wireless and ethernet nic
12:52.47bilarhniv_one_three: what's the actual problem?
12:52.48tripitakaniv_one_three: if it was me, I might bond the wired LAN and the wireless LAN in failover mode, with a high priority on the wired LAN. Not sure if it would work.
12:53.11niv_one_threewhere can I learn how to do it?
12:53.35bilarhniv_one_three: what are you trying to do?
12:53.44bilarhplease state your problem, caller :-)
12:58.19morsingMmm... Mead
12:59.58tripitakaps aide > tripwire
13:01.00morsingtripitaka: You talking about the free tripwire or the proper one?
13:01.33tripitakathe free one. I imagine the centralised control of the commercial one helps
13:01.57morsingThe commercial on is coooooooooooooooool :)
13:02.00morsingone
13:02.09tripitakamorsing: How much did you pay?
13:02.11clive-hI've used gpl tripwire
13:02.18clive-hnever used aide
13:02.53tripitakaI've been using free (beer) tripwire, and just started looking at aide, the admin and config is a lot easier
13:03.13niv_one_threebilarh: I am tring to use two different NIC to my LAN
13:03.57niv_one_threeI use a script to firewall the NIC that is connected to the WAN the the NIC to the LAN
13:04.45*** join/#gllug Avnit (i=22@gateway/tor/x-9f1de7f6366214d3)
13:04.51tripitakaniv_one_three: aplogies, could you make that a bit clearer?
13:05.06niv_one_threeI want to know hoe to deal with the case of having two NIC to LAN. need I write each line that tells iptables to allow from the LAN twice?
13:05.12bilarhniv_one_three: just run the same iptables rules for both nics...
13:05.19niv_one_threethanks
13:05.20bilarhniv_one_three: y es
13:05.23niv_one_threethat was the issue
13:05.28bilarhok :-)
13:05.33bilarhor actually
13:05.34bilarhi mean
13:05.41bilarhyou don't have to specify the nic at all
13:05.42niv_one_threeme question is, what is the smarter way to achive it?
13:05.45bilarhin which case one rule could work
13:05.55bilarhwhat's your current ruleset?
13:06.00bilarh(http://www.pastebin.ca)
13:06.14niv_one_threewhat tripitaka , suggested sounds better to me.
13:06.48bilarhok
13:06.49niv_one_threehow may I unite the to NIC and favore the wired one?
13:06.57bilarhlook up nic bonding
13:07.15niv_one_threewhat are the down side of using this bonding?
13:07.16tripitakaniv_one_three: I have no idea if bonding would work with a fixed and a wireless NIC
13:07.39bilarhit might worke if you use arp-cache sensing instead of the normal sensing (i forget the name...)
13:07.42tripitakait depends on how the kernel sees the up/down state of a wireless NIC
13:07.51niv_one_threethanks, as far as I remember the section about bonding , prefered using NAY
13:07.59niv_one_threes/NAY/NAT
13:08.07bilarhhuh?
13:08.18bilarhethernet bonding has nothing to do with nat'ing
13:08.49niv_one_threethanks
13:08.55bilarhwhy don't you just run the wlan as normal and run dhclieint
13:09.00niv_one_threeI do need to educate myself on this
13:09.26niv_one_threeI am using dnsmasq
13:09.54niv_one_threein fact the whole subnet is not easy for me now
13:10.00bilarhdhclient on the eth0 interface, i mean
13:10.09niv_one_threeI had four subnets
13:10.34clive-hI'd say you want multi-pathing rather than NIC bonding
13:10.47clive-hbut I might be wrong
13:10.48niv_one_threeone for the wired lan. one for the vpn. and one for the remote lan I also connet to
13:11.09goibhniudick_turpin: http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/2/2d/World_Trade_Center.gif
13:11.27niv_one_threesorry three subnets
13:11.31clive-hI make that three
13:11.43niv_one_threeI would like to put the wireless in its own subnet
13:12.01dick_turpinibot: clip goibhniu round the lughole
13:12.14niv_one_threenow, how can a host from the wireless ping the ethernet subnet?
13:12.22antiphaseIt's called "routing"
13:12.28niv_one_threeright
13:12.36antiphaseThe Internets uses it extensively
13:12.37niv_one_threeand I need to tell iptables to do this
13:12.39niv_one_three...
13:12.45clive-hno
13:12.49dick_turpingoibhniu: I need to teach ibot how to clip people round the lughole
13:12.52antiphaseYou need to turn on IP forwarding if it's between interfaces
13:12.59clive-hyou need to tell the kernel to do the routing
13:13.08niv_one_threeright
13:13.20tripitakagoibhniu: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h170/kmcdude/hulksmashwtc500.jpg
13:13.28clive-hIt sounds horrendously complex
13:13.32niv_one_threejust like I do from the eth0 attached to the WAN to forward to the LAN interface..
13:14.02clive-hI'm really rather confused as to how many interfaces you have
13:14.10niv_one_threesorry
13:14.45niv_one_threelet me count them again: eth0 - WAN . ath0 - LAN . eth2 - LAN . TUN0 - VPN
13:14.57clive-hI make that 4
13:15.05clive-hyet above you said 3
13:15.09antiphaseI don't know what the last half an hour of waffle about bonding and the like has been about. What you want it pretty trivial, and is documented almost everywhere
13:15.16niv_one_threeand a remote LAN I forward over the vpn to
13:15.46niv_one_threeantiphase, you are right
13:15.55clive-hath0 is unlikely to be a LaN
13:16.09clive-hI'd guess it's wireless
13:16.24niv_one_threeits the wireless
13:16.59antiphaseSince Atheros drivers only support being a client last time I checked, you might as well ignore it unless you actually use wireless as your primary internet connection to the machine
13:16.59bilarhniv_one_three: hang on... don't you have an access point with an ethernet port?
13:17.12clive-hI think it would help a lot if you *thought* carefully before pressing enter
13:17.25niv_one_threeI may run something along the lines of ; run this port forward for all LAN NIC, that is ath0, eth2,tun0
13:17.47bilarhniv_one_three: are you running your wlan in ad-hoc mode?
13:18.20antiphaseecho 1> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
13:18.37niv_one_threebilarh , I got an access point with ethernet ports, but I use it only to hub the wireless lan
13:19.15bilarhniv_one_three: so why isn't your linux machine hooked up to the access point with an ethernet cable? Is your linux machine *not* a vpn router?
13:19.17niv_one_threeantiphase : I query about the iptables part
13:19.41antiphaseFuck iptables until you can actually make forwarding work
13:19.56antiphaseThen decide what behaviour you want
13:19.58bilarhantiphase: although if his default policy is deny... :-)
13:20.01niv_one_threebilarh, well, I use a pc as a NAT as it allows QoS
13:20.37niv_one_threefarwading works fine now
13:20.44niv_one_threewith one NIC to lan
13:21.02bilarhniv_one_three: ok. I strongly suggest ditching the wlan nic and connecting to the access point with an ethernet cable anyway
13:21.07niv_one_threeok, I think all are engry at me
13:21.15niv_one_threesorry about that
13:21.25bilarhniv_one_three: we're just confused about what you want :)
13:21.54niv_one_threebilarh: I can reach the access point using a cable
13:22.06niv_one_threes/can/can't
13:22.16niv_one_threes/can/can\'t
13:22.46bilarhso what is not actually working at the moment?
13:22.52niv_one_threeI use the access point only for the wireless subnet
13:23.28niv_one_threehosts from the second added NIC can't get dhcp response
13:23.32tripitakaniv, could you knock up a network diagram in mspaint and post it somewhere we can see it? Might help.
13:23.53niv_one_threethis is for the NAT script block DHCP calls be default to them
13:24.53niv_one_threeI guess I just need to rewrite the NAT script to allow all it allows to the first LAN to the other LAN
13:25.01niv_one_threevery well
13:25.41bilarhniv_one_three: iptables --flush
13:26.42niv_one_threeI to declere both cards in the begening of the script

13:35.48bilarhok, what happens now then?
13:35.50bilarhdoes it work?
13:35.55niv_one_threeissue is with allowing dhcp from lan
13:36.00niv_one_threeit workd
13:36.02niv_one_threeit works
13:36.32niv_one_threewell allowing all is not a goo idea..
13:36.48niv_one_threesome firewall is in order..
13:41.07bilarhbtw, does your script really say "--I INPUT"?

15:14.13niv_one_threeOk gang, I am runing the farwarding rules in a for loop
15:14.34niv_one_threeguess I just went too far seeking to achive this simple goal
15:15.14niv_one_threein any case I still want to understand subnets: can two home routrs lie in the same subnet?
15:15.48niv_one_threeI mean the subnet is 255.255.255.240 and the two routers have a near IP
15:16.05niv_one_threesay 192.169.1.1 and 192.168.1.2
15:16.47niv_one_threeand the two are attached to one pc with two NIC accordingly
15:19.47antiphase192.169 isn't a reserved address range, as it happens
15:20.56antiphaseThe whole point of subnets is that they represent a set of addresses that are usable on the same network segment
15:21.13antiphaseAnything outside of that segmentwill have to be routed elsewhere by a router
15:21.26jcookemanWho wants a quick pint in the west end?
15:23.28tripitakaniv_one_three: this may help http://www.subnetmask.info/
15:23.56tripitakafor best results, draw a diagram of what you have/want with interface names, IP addresses etc
15:24.44antiphaseThey lose, simply by virtue of using the term "Class A/B/C" and not mentioning CIDR anywhere
15:25.00antiphaseSurely there's a decent up-to-date networking tutorial _somehwere_?

15:55.36morsingmylesbraithwaite!
16:00.11niv_one_threesorry my bad ment to write 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2
16:01.09niv_one_threeyes I do understand some of the subnet idea
16:01.38niv_one_threeas for my question, I am aware the switch inside "home-routers" is limited to a small subnet
16:02.12niv_one_threewhat I asked is if its ok to put two switchs (which are in two home routers) in the same subnet
16:02.20antiphaseSimple switches don't know about subnets
16:02.29niv_one_threei am not gona use their NAT function any way
16:02.39niv_one_threethanks anti
16:03.17tripitakaniv_one_three: please list all the hardware devices you have, and how they are interconnected.
16:03.40niv_one_threeI need a bit more time for this
16:07.48niv_one_threeanti, so may the switch inside the home router, be used for two different subnets?
16:08.54niv_one_threesay I use 192.168.1.0/24 for a lan I trust and 192.168.2.0/24 for a guest lan?
16:09.59antiphaseAll a switch does is move packets between ports which are asociated with a particular MAC address
16:10.16antiphaseAny higher level logic is the responsibility of another device
16:10.57antiphaseSee "Layer 2" and "ARP"
16:12.20niv_one_threeso it only saves the ARP of each associated port
16:12.33niv_one_threevery well
16:12.46antiphaseThe switch is only aware of which MAC address is available through each port
16:13.13antiphaseARP is a higher level protocol which associates IP addresses (L3) with MAC addresses (L2)
16:13.26niv_one_threebut it needs to know from which port to pass info to what target port ?
16:14.13niv_one_threehow does the switch knows to move a packet from port 1 MAC1 to port 2 MAC2?
16:14.31niv_one_threemin, I think I know
16:14.48niv_one_threethe port that send the info has the target mac in the packet
16:14.49antiphaseBecause the header that is put onto the packet when it leaves a device has a destination MAC address in it
16:14.49niv_one_threeright?
16:14.54jcookemanniv_one_three: a switch use what's called content-addressable memory (CAM)
16:15.19niv_one_threeright right - I remember how it all fits. thanks
16:15.20jcookemanASICs, or hardware, keep track of what macs are on what port
16:15.29jcookemanand forward the frames based on this memory
16:16.25niv_one_threecan a switch block "magic packet" the kind used for wake on lan?
16:16.30jcookemanthe answer to your question about multiple subnets on your routers switch is most certainly no
16:16.33Leeds"who holds back the electric car, who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?"
16:16.33niv_one_threei think its a UDP packet
16:17.19niv_one_threejcookeman: why not?
16:17.57jcookemanbecause most consumer routers will not support that
16:18.39jcookemanwhat you are trying to do is vlan and vlan routing
16:19.06jcookemanthere are some higher end Cisco home office products that can do it
16:19.10niv_one_threenothing to do with vlan mate
16:19.35clive-hWRT54G's will do vlan
16:19.37niv_one_threewell, I must go home now
16:19.45niv_one_threethnaks all
16:19.53jcookemanyou want two subnets on the same switch?
16:19.53niv_one_threehave a safe way home
16:19.56jcookemancheers
16:20.06niv_one_threeyou want two subnets on the same switch? -> yes I do
16:20.11clive-hon different ports i think
16:20.17jcookemanyes you need vlans
16:20.18niv_one_threerioght
16:20.54antiphaseYou don't *need* to use vlans, it's less crude though :)
