Devil-Linux distro bundles router/firewall and server in one live CD
09-26-2008 08:00 AM Devil-Linux might sound hellish for a Linux distribution, but this live CD offers many blessings for your server needs. Originally developed as a router/firewall distribution, Devil-Linux has expanded its functionality to include nearly every service that a server might offer. It can function as an LDAP server, a VPN server, an email or file server, and more.
Greetings!
Here's something which I came across whilst mucking about with a UNetbootin thumbdrive install of 12.04 (I suspect this would apply to other variants as well).
Here's the scenario:
As an experiment before burning to flash, I generated a comprehensive md5sums.txt for the entirety... (1 Reply)

Hey,
weird story, dunno if this is actually possible, but here's what happened: My dad's PC (Windows) is completely full of trash, the hard drive is completely full. After the last Windows update he wasn't able to boot anymore, even from a WindowsCD it didn't seem to work. That's at least what... (7 Replies)
I'm creating a python script to load a configuration to gnome-terminal immediately after a Live Boot. I must run it in super-user mode, because I shut down some services first. After this, I want to configure gnome-terminal. The problem is that if I run it as super-user, it successfully shuts... (0 Replies)

Hello,
I was just looking for some help on Unix distros that don't affect my hard disk. Basically what I am looking for is a distro that has all your programming needs (so I can program in Unix) and the basic functions of an OS. I would also like it to include python if possible.
BTW, is it... (0 Replies)
router.db(5) File Formats Manual router.db(5)NAME
router.db - rancid group configuration file
DESCRIPTION
router.db contains information for devices which are members of a rancid group. control_rancid(1) reads this file to compile a list of
devices which it should collect.
SYNTAX
One device is listed per-line, where the syntax is:
<device_name>:<device_type>:<state>[:comments]
For example:
scooby.shrubbery.net:cisco:up
The fields are as follows:
<device_name>
The name of the device, which must resolve via gethostbyname, used as the argument to telnet(1), rsh(1), or ssh(1), to connect to
the device. Once converted to lower-case, this also becomes the name of the file used to store the configuration under
$BASEDIR/<group>/configs.
Experience has shown that using the device's FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) works best, as in the example above.
<device_type>
The type of device from the set:
agm A Cisco Anomaly Guard Module (aka Riverhead). Suspect that at some point the UI will become more cisco-like and it can be
merged with the IOS rancid module.
alteon An Alteon WebOS switches.
arista An Arista Networks device.
avocent
An Avocent Cyclades console server.
baynet A Bay Networks router.
cat5 A Cisco catalyst series 5000 and 4000 switches (i.e.: running the catalyst OS, not IOS).
cisco A Cisco router, PIX, or switch such as the 3500XL or 6000 running IOS (or IOS-like) OS, but not IOS-XR.
cisco-nx
A Cisco Nexus switch/router.
cisco-xr
A Cisco device running IOS-XR.
css A Cisco content services switch.
enterasys
An enterasys NAS. This is currently an alias for the riverstone device type.
erx A Juniper E-series edge router.
extreme
An Extreme switch.
ezt3 An ADC-Kentrox EZ-T3 mux.
f5 A F5 BigIP switch.
force10
A Force10 router.
fortigate
A Fortinet firewall.
foundry
A Foundry router, switch, or router-switch. This includes HP Procurve switches that are OEMs of Foundry products, such as
the HP9304M.
hitachi
A Hitachi router.
hp A HP Procurve switch such as the 2524 or 4108 procurve switches. Also see the foundry type.
juniper
A Juniper router.
mikrotik
A Mikrotik router.
mrtd A host running the (Merit) MRTd daemon.
netscalar
A Netscalar load balancer.
netscreen
A Netscreen firewall.
procket
A Procket router.
redback
A Redback router, NAS, etc.
riverstone
A Riverstone NAS or Cabletron (starting with version ~9.0.3) router.
smc A SMC switch (some Dell OEMs).
tnt A Lucent TNT.
zebra Zebra routing software.
<state>
The state is either "up", or some other arbitrary value, e.g. "down". If the device is not marked "up" the device's configuration
will not be collected. It is highly recommended that comments are made for any router not listed as up, so as to indicate the
reason a router is not to be polled, e.g.:
dial1.paris:cisco:up:
core1.paris:cisco:down:in testing until 5/5/2001.
core2.paris:cisco:ticketed:Ticket 6054234, 5/3/2001
border1.paris:juniper:up:
The script "downreport" in util/ can be used to produce a report of routers in router.db that are not marked "up".
[comments]
Freeform string to describe the current state of the router.
A ``#'' at the beginning of a line is a comment; the entire line is ignored.
If a device is deleted from the router.db file, then rancid will clean up by removing the device's config file from
$BASEDIR/<group>/configs. The device will be removed from the revision control system. It is possible, in most cases, to resurrect or
check-out copies of deleted device configurations.
FILES
$BASEDIR/<group>/router.db
Configuration file described here, where <group> is a device group name defined in the variable LIST_OF_GROUPS within
$BASEDIR/etc/rancid.conf.
