Need TPROXY for 2.4.20-6 kernel
Hi all: I am trying to install Zorp in my Linux desktop PC, running RedHat 9.0, which has Linux kernel 2.4.20-6. This requires installation of TPROXY, but i could not find a compatible version of TPROXY in the following link. The old link, shows only 2.4.20.12, etc. But could not find any 2.4.20-6 there. http://www.balabit.com/downloads/tproxy/linux-2.4/ I am not planning to upgrade my linux kernel to a newer version as of now, and your suggestions would be appreciated. cheers, Elwin. ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Note that you only need the transparent proxying patch if you would like to do _transparent_ firewalling with Zorp. In case of a desktop system, I'm not sure you need Zorp at all, it is really not a "personal firewall" like thing.

I think you mix RedHat's kernel release number with tproxy version. RedHat's kernel is based on 2.4.20, the -6 suffix tells you it is the sixth version of their kernel package. Tproxy version is totally different, 2.4.20-12 describes it's tproxy release 12 (version 0.12) for Linux 2.4.20. (It's a really old and outdated version, please don't use it.) If you would like to patch the RedHat 9.0 kernel package, you should try the newest version of tproxy (1.2.0), and get the patch for the kernel version which is closest to yours (this will be 2.4.22). However, I don't know if it was ever tested with RedHat's kernel, or the patch applies at all. -- Regards, Krisztian KOVACS

Our kernel is: * Red Hat 2.4.20-20.9 base kernel * epoll_lt 0.17 (versus 2.4.21) * ebtables-brnf-3 (versus 2.4.21) (for transproxying bridged traffic) * tproxy 1.1.3 (versus 2.4.22) * some other misc patches Works just fine. --L
