Linux bridging Question

I remember this one from a while back when fiddling with RH - I think it's a question asking if you want to run XF86config (or whatever) to configure the X server, which currently has settings that don't match with your hardware...
 
mbs when u mentioned what u said about hardware, the penny dropped. it always happened after i reinstalled and configured a network inf that the install didnt pick up.

swapped out network cards, busy checking if that was the prob.
 
loosecannon, thanks for that script!! i never knew that was possible. i set it up on our server but couldn't get it to work. i did some diggin and found that a request was coming in for "/proxy.pa" and not "/proxy.pac". aparently an IE bug...

i just copied proxy.pac to proxy.pa and added the line "AddType application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig .pa" to apache conf. (just in case anyone else has the problem)
 
pleasure to be of assistance yip that is a bug in IE ... to get arround it i do the following in apache

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]*).*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wpad.da$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wpad.dat$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/proxy.pa$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/proxy.pac$ [OR]
RewriteCond %1 ^wpad$
RewriteRule /(.*)$ /var/spool/apache/htdocs/proxy.pac [L]

this also allows wpad.<DOMAIN> <host>/wpad.dat <HOST>/wpad.da .... so iif i was to put the auto config script in a browser ill put "http://wpad.networksentry.co.za" apache dies the rest ...


dont forget to turn modrewirite on in httpd.conf
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog /var/log/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower

bellow find my recipe for mass hosting of domains and users with custom layouts without ever restarting apache to add more domains ...
and no virtualhost declerations .... some links are frotpage specific admin/passwd pages

As far as the mail server setting go ... I tend to capture outgoing smtp and re-direct to local SMTP server on the linux box. That way corporate policy/virri/etc can still be implemented cleanly.
 
i just block all outgoing SMTP on the gateway except from the mail server [if not gateway] setting up that recipe is years of work and looking at those regexes i can almost understand why i am the way i am ...

here are some of the mutations the above allows for

horde|mail|webmail.&lt;DOMAIN&gt; go straight to horde main page ...
&lt;USER&gt;.&lt;DOMAIN&gt; goes to ~user/public_html
&lt;DOMAIN&gt;/&lt;USER&gt; if not in a vhost/htdocs goes to ~user/public_html
home|users.&lt;DOMAIN&gt;/&lt;USER&gt; goes to ~user/public_html unconditionaly
&lt;VHOST&gt; goes to ~user/&lt;VHOST&gt; ie the website is stored in the owners home directory [makes chrooted ftp easy]
&lt;FPVHOST&gt; goes to the vhost directory in the web root and has no php/cgi/ftp capabilities only FP
the traditional &lt;DOMAIN&gt;/~&lt;USER&gt; is also allowed with /cgi-bin via suexec ...
cgi via suexec is allowed for both vhosts and users ...
forum.&lt;DOMAIN&gt; goes to phpBB2 ...

icons for directory listing are no maped so all /icons will be mapped to the icons directory to ensure eye candy is correct and the icons folder need
not be replicated ...

i have webaliser generate logs/graphs for all virtual hosts and
&lt;HOST&gt;/usage will get you into them but they are not part of the web tree ...

it is basicaly apache on steroids
 
no please go ahead im assumeing you have already :)

any mistakes please let me know ...

and note my user dirs are /var/home/a/b/abcuser
