secvpn

SECVPN(1)						      General Commands Manual							 SECVPN(1)

NAME

       secvpn - Control the Secure Virtual Private Network

SYNOPSIS

       secvpn [-v][-n][-s][-r] start|stop|routedel|routeadd|test|status [Host]

DESCRIPTION

       Secvpn builds a virtual private network (vpn) as defined in /etc/network/secvpn.conf. The vpn uses encryption based on ssh security.

       Before secvpn can be used you have to create some prerequisites.  See PREREQUISITES below.

       The following subcommands may be used with secvpn:

       start  is  used	to start the vpn. Secvpn will add new ppp interfaces necessary to make the vpn work, but will not automatically add routes
	      (see the routeadd option below). If the recursive option is set, secvpn will log into the passive hosts and run "secvpn -r start" on
	      them too.

       stop   is used to stop the vpn.

       routeadd
	      is  used	to  setup new routing entries based on secvpn.conf. Secvpn will first add the route active->passive, then tell the passive
	      host to add the route back.  The route in the passive host will be added according to the configuration file there (in  the  passive
	      host), so if the configuration files differ, things will not work.

       routedel
	      will delete the routing entries built with routeadd.

       test   checks whether the ppp interface is used to reach O_CRYPT_IP.

       status same as test, but checks all vpns if no host is named (instead of only active vpns as 'test' does).

OPTIONS

       -v     verbose output

       -n     do nothing

       -s     be silent

       -r     work recursive

PREREQUISITES

       Before  secvpn  can  be used you have to enable passwordless ssh access for user "secvpn" from the initiator secvpn pc to the target secvpn
       pc. Use authorized_ keys or RhostsRSAAuthentication with the .shosts file. Have a look to the ssh - manpages for more information.

       Before secvpn can be used you have to give root rights for specific commands to the user "secvpn". This can be done with the followin  com-
       mand:

	       echo "secvpn  ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/secvpn, /usr/sbin/pppd" >>/etc/sudoers

       Before secvpn can be used you have to edit /etc/secvon.conf. See secvpn.conf(4).

EXAMPLES

       There are 3 examples in /usr/share/doc/secvpn/examples:

       Example1: secvpn acts as router connection 2 subnets

       Example2: secvpn having one lan-card and connect 2 subnets

       Example3: secvpn having one lan-card and connect 11 subnets in a tree structure

OTHER

       To  have  real  security  it  is  necessary to secure each secvpn host and to have firewalls on each secvpn host allowing only selected IP-
       Adresses and Ports to pass through the VPN.
