Three different Linux configurations are documented here. These are genuine configurations belonging to boxes on the network I maintain.
- Gateway, an ip masquerading firewall.
- Henry, a virtual server for www, mail, ftp, cvs, and news
- HAL 9000, a development workstation
My first essay using DocBook is a short discusion on securing a network using firewalls. It is available in the following formats:
- HOWTO Secure Networks - Single html page
- HOWTO Secure Networks - Chapterized html
- HOWTO Secure Networks - pdf
- HOWTO Secure Networks - dvi
- HOWTO Secure Networks - ps
- HOWTO Secure Networks - rtf
- HOWTO Secure Networks -tex
- HOWTO Secure Networks -txt
Harold is a new multi - virtual server that I am currently documenting as I configure. It is also available in the following formats:
- HOWTO Configure Harold - Single html page
- HOWTO Configure Harold - Chapterized html
- HOWTO Configure Harold - pdf
- HOWTO Configure Harold - dvi
- HOWTO Configure Harold - ps
- HOWTO Configure Harold - rtf
- HOWTO Configure Harold -tex

It is an ongoing goal of this configuration project to only use open source software at no financial costs
[1]. I have achieved this with about the same amount of time and learning investment that it may have taken using equivalent commercial products. Customer support in the "bazaar", although informal, appears to be more responsive, better quality, and offers more choice when compared to customer support in the "cathedral". Lets give credit where credit is due. Here is a pin-board of all the software used in this project.The activities described here rely a lot on a high speed internet connection and a permanent ip address. I would recommend signing up with a service provider offering DSL, ADSL or cable access.
The portion of the network comprising
these three boxes provides the services for two domains, novatek.co.nz,
and cmex.org. Perhaps you are
able to benefit from or contribute to this journey of learning how
to configure Linux. Let me know
what you think. Perhaps, it is worthwhile to mention that these
configurations are particular to RedHat installations (for no reason other
than this is the only distro I know).
