Hi,
I have been looking at setting up a couple of Debian boxes at work to help
with our cable modem development and have the following specs for what I
need to do.
VPN on corporate network joining 2 sites.
Machine will be a gateway to corp intranet and internet.
Need Samba to support shared filespace for network of 10-15 NT machines at
each site, shared area for both sites to access as well.
DHCP/TOD server for cable modems, headend and CPE's.
Support ftp from NT desktop to corp dmz machine - use ssh ?
Support reflections X from NT to Sun servers - use ssh ?
Can have static IP's for NT boxes and Linux SNMP stations.
Eventually I would like to get all the NT machines running Linux but at the
moment we are in the final development/test phase so do not have the time,
also the development toolkit runs on either WinXX or Solaris :-(.
I have a Debian box at home and an NT box I can experiment with, also have a
Sun I can get working for reflections X experiments.
The basics are already running but I did not set it up and it needs redoing
as whoever set it up did not do it very well. We will have an old machine as
a mirror while the update is done, half of the facilities are not working as
is anyway (like Samba, X and half the tools and install are missing).
Here is a rough diagram:
Site 1
Site 2
NT1 ------------- Corp
------------ NT1
: +--------
Debian1 ---------------------------------- Debian 2 ---------+
NT15 -------------
------------ NT15
| Samba

| DHCP

Thats it, any tips or suggestions ? I have got all the FAQ's down and read
most of them, time to Just Do IT I suppose.
Thanks,
Richard.
