Maybe our primary activity we will be setting up the OLS conference with "WAVEsec" security on the 802.11b (Wi-Fi) for the week. Sometime next week we will ship the freeswan-1.98 release which will not only fix many known bugs but will be able to operate with WAVEsec boxes cleanly (once slightly configured...). If you are going to OLS you might first compile and install 1.98 on your laptop and setup you base dynamic DNS and forward DNS systems with your KEY RR's such that you can assume your home host identity at OLS. Details for much of this are explained on the WAVEsec webpages over at: http://www.wavesec.org/ though we expect that pages to be changing over the week (your help on documentation would be quite valuable, we are quite busy with basic IPsec work already...) as we work out kinks and details. One last note is that we will be running OLS in "infrastructural mode" and not in 'appendix mode' as we have done at previous conferences. We will be helping people setup WAVEsec laptops throughout the week, but if you read up on the website first you can show up and just make you laptop work, securely, from the get go if you have FreeS/WAN and the list already installed! As things get worked out we will post more details to the website. ||ugh Daniel hugh at freeswan.org Systems Testing & Project mis-Management The Linux FreeS/WAN Project http://www.freeswan.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty Good Privacy(tm) Version 6.5.8 (c) 1999 Network Associates Inc.
