Projects are going

A lot of time without any entry in the blog but I'm not stopped. First, this weekend I installed Debian in my old and lovely Cobalt Qube 2. After two bad attempts, I managed to install successfully after unselecting the DNS server package: BIND was halting the Qube at boot, maybe because it was misconfigured, but due I don't need Bind in the Qube this is not a problem.

The second project is find a way to run my RaQCop firewall as reverse proxy. I managed to compile the whole IPCop distribution with multi threading SSL, and after I understood how the IPCop compiling method works, I was able to compile Pound 2.4.5. This week I will write the scripts to install and uninstall Pound in a IPCop box and later test if it runs OK.

The last job is to write a HOWTO install Pound in an IPCop machine, sure only if Pound works and passes the test.

And that's all for today.. stay tunned!!!
