Dear All Just out of curiosity I've installed secumod 1.6a from the 7.0 RPMs under sec1 on the CDs. The docs tell me to do 'insmod secumod.o' to start secumod but when I do that I get "secumod.o: No such file or directory" printing out on the screen on my SuSE 7.0 system. I can also see that there's a list of options such as "insmod secumod.o [OPTION]=[OPTION]". They don't work either. I think there might be a newer version but the problem is the lack of documents to give more detail about what to do with this package. Marc's done some really nice work with this but it's hard to figure it out without some help. Thanks Richard

Hello Richard ! The error message points me to the idea, that the insmod command cannot find the module file secumod.o Have you tried to locate this file manually and then entering insmod /.../.../secumod.o Then insmod should find the file and accept the options. Good luck !

Hi Richard!

I guess that modules must be loaded without ".o". Try "insmod secumod" and it should work. Dirk

No. Insmod requires the full pathname (or current directory), a la "insmod /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/net/irda.o". Modprobe wants the file to be found in the correct /lib/modules place and requires the argument without the .o a la "modprobe irda". Confusing?

Hi Kalle!

Hmm, please explain why "insmod lp" writes the following line on my system: "Using /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/lp.o" lsmod shows that the module is loaded. Dirk (confused)

Hmph, I guess the tools do evolve over time... looking in the insmod man page it clearly says that you can use either the file name (with full path) or the module name, in which case the module is searched according to a few rules. I must get my Linux knowledge up-to-date with this millennia :)

:-) Here is an excerpt from the insmod man pages (from oct 1999): "...If the object file name is given without extension, insmod will search for the module in some common default directories..."

Ah ... !! That works fine :) Now I have to try to work out how to use the options. Thank you Marc and Mr Vogelsberger. Richard
if you got it from the 7.0 cds then there is probably an easier way to do this: edit /etc/rc.config.d/secumod.rc.config most of the options are in there and you also simply load it by setting yes to the first parameter in the file. On Sun, 4 Mar 2001, Richard wrote:

Hi
Just out of curiosity I've installed secumod 1.6a from the 7.0 RPMs under sec1 on the CDs.
Is it stable enough? I read some time ago about some kind of instability. I don't remember where, sorry.
It looks as though it is :) Haven't found any strange problems so far. Just that I'm not very good at configuring it and locked myself out of my own box. I had to reboot. I'll keep going at it :)) Thank you Richard
I have had some memory leaks with it and perfomance decreased considerably after starting it. Hell sometimes it even refused me to run commands like chmod and chown as root. On Mon, 5 Mar 2001, Richard wrote:

I've had one or two problems which didn't make any sense to me at all. At 12.15. a.m last night I had a kernel oops. I've re-installed the kernel. Looks good just now. As well as that the internal network dropped dead. No route to the net box. At the same time routing to my ISP stopped completely. I've rebooted everything and all is well. <mops sweat from brow> Don't ask me what it's about. I couldn't tell you :)) Thanks Richard
