Linux Distro Timeline

Slax Bootable USB Drive----ZT by welv

Installing Slax in the pen drive

Now you choose between two options. You can mount the downloaded ISO image of Slax and follow a few steps, or you can burn the ISO image file to a CD-ROM and use the Slax Installer application. I suggest the first approach, because are some little things you must do to get Slax in the pen drive ready. To do so, create a directory -- say /slaxUSB -- on which to mount the ISO image file of Slax, then mount the ISO image:

mount -o loop slax-killbill-5.0.5.iso /slaxUSB/

Now, as root, mount the formated USB device:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/sda/

Note that /mnt/sda/ can be any directory you want to use. Copy the entire contents of the directory mounted with the ISO image to the place where you have mounted the pen drive:

cp -ra /slaxUSB/* /mnt/sda/

The -r argument specifies a recursive copy including every directory, and the -a preserves as much as possible the structure of the data in the USB.

Now you need to copy some files in the folder /boot/ of the mounted pen drive to the root of the pen drive so you can boot from it:

cd /mnt/sda/boot/
cp vmlinuz /mnt/sda/
cp initrd.gz /mnt/sda/

Move to the directory where the memory stick is mounted -- in this case /mnt/sda/ -- and change the name of the file isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. Edit the just-renamed syslinux.cfg and delete /boot/ or boot/ from the lines that contain vmlinuz and initrd.gz -- for example, /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.gz. This changes the location of the files vmlinuz and initrd.gz, making them visible to the bootloader at the time of boot.

Finally, use whereis to check whether you have Syslinux installed. If not, download and extract it to a directory, then run:

syslinux -s /dev/sda

Where /dev/sda is the location of your recent modified Slax with all the files.

Now, reboot your computer, enter the BIOS, and change the boot order. Set USB-ZIP as the first one, then the hard drive, and so on. If your machine is old it's possible that it won't let you boot from USB, in which case you can use a boot diskette or CD, or use Slax as a live CD."

FreeRadius configure with CSPS----Writen by welv

1)Firstly,config your CSPS Authentication using Radius and Scheme using HTTP_Digest, then fill in your primary radius server's ip address and port,such as 10.74.51.42 and port is 1812(authentication default),next is Accounting,turn on and fill in primary server's address too.

2)Secondly,edit
radiusd.conf,uncomment digest in Authenticate{},such as:

authenticate {
Auth-Type PAP {
pap
}
Auth-Type CHAP {
chap
}
Auth-Type MS-CHAP {
mschap
}
# If you have a Cisco SIP server authenticating against
# FreeRADIUS, uncomment the following line, and the 'digest'
# line in the 'authorize' section.
digest
......
}

you can see the reason why we need did like this from the comments

3)edit
users file in the same directory:

DEFAULT Auth-Type := digest
Fall-Through = 1
......

4)insert some account data in mysql database,table
radcheck:

Full Texts id UserName Attribute op Value
Edit Delete 1 pank User-Password == 1111
Edit Delete 2 vincent User-Password == 2222
Edit Delete 3 520601 Password == 520601
Edit Delete 4 512352 Password == 512352
Edit Delete 5 2471 Password == 2471
Edit Delete 6 512332 User-Password == 512332


5)insert some attributes in radgroupreply like this:

Full Texts id GroupName Attribute op Value
Edit Delete 1 user Service-Type == Framed-User
Edit Delete 2 user Framed-Protocol == PPP
Edit Delete 3 user Framed-Compression == Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP

6)Now you can using your phone register to proxy 10.74.52.42,then it will proxy these register message to radius server 10.74.51.42 for authentication
