I am a poor linux admin, and have got only one linux box in my lab. \

I heard about IPCop, one of the best Firewall Open Source Solution at this time. So let's try to have it run inside a vserver...

Requirements

- a working vserver skel (my skel is a debian sid debootstrap)

Steps

- mount ipcop-1.4.5.iso on /vservers/ipcop/mnt/iso (from the host vserver)
- mkdir /vservers/ipcop
- ipcop:/mnt/iso# tar -zxvf ipcop-1.4.5.tgz -C /ipcop/
  tar will complain about /dev/ entries, because you dont have the CAP_MKNOD .

- In the host server, create the missing devices: (note that I have no isdn)

ipcop:/mnt/iso# grep mknod /tmp/mknod-errors.txt | egrep -v "tty|usb|nst|capi|raid|scd|/st|/sd|/hd|/ram|/fd|/lp|/rd|/parport|/sg|/isdn|/ccis|/ida|/loop|/zero|/dc|/ps" 

ipcop:/# grep ListenAdd /etc/ssh/sshd_config 
ListenAddress 192.168.25.1


ipcop:/etc/apache# apt-get install apache libapache-mod-perl


(change the documentroot in /etc/apache/httpd.conf to:
DocumentRoot /ipcop/home/httpd/html

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .sh .pl

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /ipcop/home/httpd/cgi-bin/
(last slash required)

ipcop:/etc/apache# chown -R www-data.www-data /ipcop/

ipcop:/# grep BindAddress /etc/apache/httpd.conf 
BindAddress 192.168.25.1

ipcop:/etc/apache# ln -s /ipcop /var/
