IPCop 1.4.22 /1.4.23

As former IPCop developper and seeing absence of release for IPCop 1.4 since some years, I have decided to put out the 1.4.23 update!

You will find here necessary fixes to build your own 1.4.23 from the cvs. You will also found the complete patches to upgrade your IPCop.

Installation is easy

DO NOT USE WITH SCSI ! DUPLICATE YOUR IPCOP DISK BEFORE AND TRY ON THAT COPY !

• Fix gpg.conf:
  

  vi /root/.gnupg/gpg.conf
  allow-non-selfsigned-uid

• Copy my gpg key to a file

IPCop 1.4.21

• LCD dispaly project for Ipcop or SME.
  My LCD, schema 1, schema 2. Two images of my Ipcop in situation. In its box and in the office.
  Script version 0.91 here.
• Since some version (1.4.11?), IPCop losts keyboard input and screen, particulary when a KVM is used. This kernel module render to life the keyboard. Connect yourself with ssh and issue the command 'insmod pckbd_resetcontroller.o'.
  Problem have gone away since IPCop 1.4.21.

• Translation howto

  You need to have access to the IPCop console. The best way is to 'ssh' into it from your workstation. You have windows open for work and your browser to immediately test the result on the GUI.

  IPCop is delivered with 'Vim' as editor. If you are not confident with it, learn it or install Midnight Commander. It provides a simple easy to use editor as well as a good way to walk through IPCop's architecture. I think an addon exists. Ask google!

  The language files are located in /var/ipcop/langs. You will find one for every language available on IPCop. These files are for the GUI only. The installer/setup programs use another system. IPCop uses a caching system to limit repetitive reading of language files. You must erase the cache files if you want to see your work: rm /var/run/cache*. Theses files are reconstructed at IPCop startup and IPCop patch application.

  The basic principal used by IPCop is merging the en.pl file into the used language file. Because en.pl contains the complete set of translations, IPCop is allways able to display something. It can give strange results, mixing English and native language when translations are incomplete.

  Translations files syntax. It uses UTF-8 encoding.

  en.pl	fr.pl
  %tr = ( %tr, 'action' => 'Action', 'add' => 'Add', 'add a host' => 'Add a host:', 'add a new rule' => 'Add a new rule:', 'add device' => 'Add device', 'add network' => 'Add network', );	%tr = ( %tr, 'action' => 'Action', 'add' => 'Ajouter', 'add a host' => 'Ajouter un hôte:' 'add device' => 'Ajoute un Client Réseau' 'add network' => 'Ajouter un réseau' );

  The syntax is quite simple: 'key' => 'text',
  but if you misse a quote, failure is immediate: perl cannot read the file. You can see the french file is incomplete. The key 'add a new rule' is absent, therefore the English text will be used. All you have to do is use the search function in your editor to copy missing keys from en.pl and paste them in your .pl file.
  You don't have to sort the keys, just add your work at the end of the file. You can also correct translations that hav mistakes.

  It is not easy to find missing keys just by looking at the .pl file. A small perl utility does that. Just copy it into the /var/ipcop/langs directory. Remember to check often the results on the GUI (refresh). When you are OK or have done something interesting, send me the .pl file, I will merge it into the existing database.

  From time to time, we add some new keys or you see small typos. For limited operations, it is possible to work directly on the database. For this, you need to have an account. The person responsible for this is Harry Goldschmitt. Ask him for a username and password if you want to regularly participate on the IPCop project. Guides also need translation.

• SquidGuard-addon 1.4.2: this administrative interface for SquidGuard suited for IPCop 1.4.
  GUI is available in french/english/deutsch/dutch/russian/italian/chineese and it uses blacklist from French Univertisy of Toulouse. It adds two local list easily editable: 'whitelist' and 'blacklist' where content is checked before other lists. This extends greatly automatic update mechanism.
  To install, 'tar -xzf squidGuard-x.y.z.tgz' into a temp dir onto your Ipcop box, then './setup'.

• rc.firewall.local  : for antispoofing fans, this script restricts a little bit more IP addresses. It includes networks numbers not already assigned by IANA. Places it into /etc/rc.d directory.
  Touch -i $EXTERNAL according to your local GREEN network (10,172 ou 192) ! Remember to update the list when new networks are used.

• For testing only, you can download the cdrom image of the next release of IPCop. This corresponds to a full build from the CVS. Up to date depends on CVS changes since my last full build. I don't rebuild for cosmetics updates ;-) You must replace this version when offical IPCop release is out! Don't forget to report if you are testing a particular point.

• Want your Asus A6000 ALi m5603c or Creative Live Cam IM PRo cam based work under Linux ? Download and test driver from sourceforge.
• Translate for the others. You practice a language not listed here ? Choose a template then send me your work. I will merge it into the addon. Think to use UTF-8 and linux line termination.
