It has nothing to do with nobody else asking a question. It has to do with the WAY it was asked and WHAT was asked. His question came across like, "You and your document don't f*cking matter because we have no idea who you are. You're not welcome here." Right or wrong, that's the way he came across. In fact, more than one person came across that way.

No. I blame the people specifically. And since the vast majority of the people that have responded, both here and in the threads, respinded with overt hostitility, it sets the tone for the way the community appears. Right or wrong. That's what it does. If you walked into a crowd of strangers and several of them reacted to you with overt hostility, you'd think, "Jeeze. What a bunch of d*cks."

I haven't exaggerated about a thing. I stated the way the community made me feel when I offered something up. Nothing more, nothing less. I was left with the perception that everyone was a bunch of rude jerks. Right or wrong, that's the perception that came across.

This is EXACTLY where he says, "Who are you and why should we care. Those were his exact words."

So, seeing as how I am not some rich corporation that can afford stupid amounts of bandwidth exactly HOW am I supposed to distribute it any other way? Nobody gave ANY information in this regard until I had been properly flamed first.
This is not the first document that I have distributed in this manner. I've distributed a couple on the DNS and BIND list in this manner. I have distributed a couple on the old Red Hat lists in this manner.
This is the FIRST time anyone has taken offense at my manner of transport for my document.

THAT is why I posted to the list. Because I *THOUGHT* that it was usually helpful and good mannered. Apparently there's some secret handshake involved in getting a HELPFUL and GOOD MANNERED response that I am unaware of. Because I got neither until after I'd been flamed.

No. They DIDN'T ask me what my document was about. That asked me who I was and why they should care. There is a HUGE difference. They treated me like I didn't have the RIGHT to speak on the list.
I know you by reputation. You are a fantastic package maintainer. How would YOU ahve felt when you first started maintaining packages for the various Linux flavors if every time you tried to introduce what you'd been doing you got flamed down? Because that's EXACTLY what has happened to me. You'd have said, "Piss on it. These guys are nothing but jerks that don't seem to be interested in what I say or what I have to offer. They just want the opportunity to insult people who invade their little 'clique'."

Etiquette? What etiquette? The FIRST comment out of anyone's "mouth" was "piss off". Where's the etequitte in that?

hey friends,
I have installed OpenVPN 2.0.7 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO]
[EPOLL] built on Apr 29 2006) on Centos4.0 through rpm (diag
repository). The network scenario of my office is below
Remote Client ----> Internet <-------> Cisco Pix Firewall
(Gateway) <----> VPN Server
& LAN Clients
(192.168.5.0/24)
Cisco Pix Firewall: Having a static public ip address and a LAN
Address of 192.168.5.5 and it is also acting as gateway for the LAN
VPN Server: 192.168.5.20 and this is also a server on LAN
running few more services for the clients in LAN.
LAN Clients: 192.168.5.0/24
VPN Server port that is 1194 is open on Firewall. This is a test
scenario and I was able to connect to the VPN Server from my home
machine but I was not able to browse the clients or servers in the
network range of 192.168.5.0/24.

iptables -L on VPN Server
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- 10.1.1.0/24 192.168.5.0/24
One setting is missing in client.conf that is "route 192.168.5.0 255.255.255.0"
These entries are also added to iptables on VPN Server
# Allow TUN interface connections to OpenVPN server
iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
# Allow TUN interface connections to be forwarded through other interfaces
iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
# Allow TAP interface connections to OpenVPN server
iptables -A INPUT -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
# Allow TAP interface connections to be forwarded through other interfaces
iptables -A FORWARD -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
IP Forwarding is enable on the VPN Server.
But still I am not able to access the machines/clients in subnet
192.168.5.0/24. I am attaching the server.conf(openvpnserver.conf)
file with this emai.
What more iptables entries needs to be added ? Please let me know if
you need any further inputs.
Thanks & Regards
