Re: [suse-security] Please help for FreesWan VPN script setup on SuSe 7.1

From: Aboubacar Dramé May 9, 10:45 I use the sample script below (writed for the Red Hat distribution) [...] # Copyright (C) 1997, 1998, 1999 Robert L. Ziegler

Salut! Be careful with the Ziegler scripts. They contain many errors, including typing mistakes in variable names. You will find these by running the scripts using "sh -u" or by changing "#!/bin/sh" to "#!/bin/sh -u". Ziegler's 2000 book on building Linux firewalls had extensive errata that made many (most?) of the tables in the book useless unless you applied all the corrections. I haven't checked the script you posted; but, the firewall script used in his book, posted on his web site (a year old), still hadn't been fixed when I looked in January. -- -IAN! Ian! D.
