We get these from the phones which are part of an ethernet/IP phone system when they come in over an IPSec tunnel with a separate subnet at the other end and are trying to contact the switch. The local tunnel endpoint is not running on the default gateway (and no way to set routes on idiot phone switch), so there is a route on the default gateway machine to send the packets to the machine with the tunnel endpoint (certainly not an optimal network configuration, but it works for everything else). The box with the VPN endpoint then drops the martian packets (could turn that off, I suppose). The expedient course of action was to change the default route on the phone switch so that it points to the VPN gateway, and then they're not considered "martian". So far that hasn't broken anything else; I suppose if it does we'll have to add a route to the VPN box so that it redirects "normal" traffic to the default gateway.. :-\ -- Fred Morris fredm3047(a)inwa.net (I-ACK)

RE: [SLE] yast update not working with Novell Border manager authentication?

In fact, it's what our novell administrator has done, i.e create an access rule that allows the IP address of that machine to the site it needs to reach. Then check the "autnehticate only when user attempts to access restricted site" and put that rule on top of the others. It works for our servers but several users, including myself, have problems navigating a few sites including hotmail, yahoo Gael "Jesse Pretorius" <preycor(a)myrealbox.com> wrote on 02/08/2004 15.42.33: > > Authentication has been implemented on our Novell BorderManager proxy > > servers > > I've setup the proxy in yast providing username and password but before > > being giving me the list of updates, there is the following error: > > BorderManager's login page is proprietary in a way that does not provide an > authentication request in a way that YaST expects it. > > AFAIK the only way around it would be to set the NBM to allow your server's > IP address to go through without requiring authentication. > >

You must to install ncpfs, and the Novel client for linux http://novelclient.sourceforge.net/ Read the faq and howto from this site. I need to probe the Client Trust (with wine), for complete the autentication in the Border Manager. __________________________________ Registrate desde http://servicios.arnet.com.ar/registracion/registracion.asp?origenid=9 y participá de todos los beneficios del Portal Arnet.

yast update not working with Novell Border manager authentication?
by g.lams＠itcilo.org 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi All, Authentication has been implemented on our Novell BorderManager proxy servers: this way, the desktops, when they do'nt authenticate on our novell network, need to provide username and password before navigating in Internet But since this modification, my SuSe servers are not able to fetch a list of security updates, and obviously download them. I've setup the proxy in yast providing username and password but before being giving me the list of updates, there is the following error: "signature check for patch info files failed.Cannot load patch information. " And when I click on details, it gives the following message: Path:<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Novell/i386/update/9.0/patches/<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Novell BorderManager</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>The document has moved <A HREF="https:/172.16.11.1:444/BM-Login/?%22http:/ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse/<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Novell/i386/upd ate/9.0/patches/directory.3%22">here.</A></BODY></HTML> It seems that, even if I provide a username and password, the BorderManager is redirecting my linux server to the authentication page (172.16.11.1 corresponds to one of the border manager server) Any help would be appreciated Gaël

password recovery
by Lyle Giese 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I have been using suse for a bit now, having used RH previously. One feature that I seem not to see or maybe it's just not there. In RH, there was a way to recover the root password. As I am an independant consultant, I can just imagine getting to a client's site and they don't remember/know the root password. Is there a way/method to recover/reset the root password in suse? Thanks, Lyle
