Chapter 1. Introduction
Welcome
The ClarkConnect software transforms a standard PC into a full-featured Internet server/gateway. In other words, it
connects your local area network (LAN) to a DSL or cable modem Internet connection. The software is based on Red Hat,
so you can install thousands of software packages (RPMs) on your server!
This document describes how to install and configure your ClarkConnect server/gateway. You should have the following
background and experience:

● working knowledge of basic network concepts
● beginner's knowledge of Linux
● a DSL or cable modem Internet connection
● a small network
Features
Please check the website for feature list.
What's New
Please check the website for the release notes.
Chapter 2. Quick Start Guide
The contents of all your hard disks on the target computer will be completely erased.
For those folks who do not like to read manuals, here are the required steps to get your ClarkConnect server up and
running.
Step 1 - Build your home/office network
Step 2 - Find an old computer
You won't need too much horsepower to run a ClarkConnect device. You will need at least 32MB of RAM (though 64MB is
recommended if you plan on using all the bells and whistles) and a 500MB disk.
Step 3 - Install two network cards into your old computer
Linux does a good job at auto-detecting most hardware. If you plan on purchasing new network cards, make sure they are
supported by Linux. See Red Hat's Hardware Compatibility List.
Step 4 - Create the installation floppy disk
You need to use one of the ClarkConnect tools to create your floppy. On the CD, you will find the mkbootfloppy script for
Linux, and the ClarkConnect Tools for Windows. If you have a bootable CD drive, you can skip this step.
Step 5 - Install the ClarkConnect software
Network Install
● 1. Insert the installation disk

● 2. Turn on your target computer
● 3. Follow the installation wizard
CD-ROM Install - with Boot Floppy

● 2. Insert the ClarkConnect CD
CD-ROM Install - with Bootable CD
● 1. If necessary, change your BIOS settings to run bootable CDs


Step 6 - Configure other computers and devices on your network
You have to make changes to your computers sitting on your network. Use the following table as a guide:
Table 2-1. Quick Start Network Settings
Feature Description
Default ClarkConnect IP Address 192.168.1.1
Available static IPs 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.99
Addresses used by DHCP 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.254
DNS Servers 192.168.1.1 and/or your ISP's DNS servers

Hard Drive 1 GB
Network Cards You will need 2 of these
Monitor Only required for the installation
Video Card Any old video card will do
CD-ROM Optional if you install over the Internet
Floppy Drive Optional if you have a bootable CD-ROM drive
Modem Optional - for caller ID feature
Connection Broadband only!
Network Cards
Linux does a good job at auto-detecting most hardware. Most mass-market PCI network cards are supported. Take a look
at the Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List website to see if your network card is compatible. If you plan on buying new
network cards for ClarkConnect and have two spare PCI slots, then save yourself some time and select the network cards
that are designated 100% compatible.
Do you plan on using ISA network cards?
Do you only have ISA slots available or older ISA network cards around? You can still install the ClarkConnect software, but
it will take some extra work to get the network cards working. You may have to edit the driver configuration file - see
Appendix A
Are you building a network from scratch?
You may want to look at some of the Network Starter Kits available on the market.
Internet Connection
ClarkConnect supports most DSL (including PPPoE) and cable modem broadband Internet connections. We do not expect
to add support for ISDN, wireless, or satellite types of broadband any time soon. However, if you have had success with
getting Linux working on such a system, then we want to hear from you! E-mail us at beta@clarkconnect.com.

Cable Modems
Most cable modem Internet service providers will include a standard Ethernet card and external modem to enable your high-
speed Internet connection. Fortunately, the days of proprietary software and logins are mostly behind us, so you should be
able to setup ClarkConnect without too much tinkering.
However, some of the cable modem providers still have some quirks. Fortunately, Vladimir Vuksan has put together a great
resource of Cable Modem Providers! If you are having trouble getting ClarkConnect to work with your cable ISP, check the
following web site for some troubleshooting tips - http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cable-Modem/isps.html.
ClarkConnect includes the software required to connect to Australia's Telstra Big Pond Service. Make sure you select the
BPALogin option in the installation wizard!
DSL and PPPoE
During the ClarkConnect install, you will be asked for which type of DSL service you use - PPPoE or "Standard". These are
mutually exclusive implementations, so you will need to select the right type during installation. It is very important to know
how your Internet service provider configures your network. If you are not sure, ask the ISP's tech support staff, or other
users.
ISDN and Satellite
We do not support ISDN or satellite broadband service providers. We are not too familiar with these services so they are not
officially supported.
Wireless
The Office Edition supports 802.11 Internet connections. See the website and Howtos for details.
Chapter 4. Installing the Software
Installation Type
To install the ClarkConnect software, you require an installation floppy disk or a bootable CD drive. The rest of the software
is installed from the CD-ROM or directly over your high-speed Internet connection.
Network Install
For network installs, you will need to create and installation floppy disk (described in the next section). Due to space
limitations on the installation floppy, only a subset of network card drivers are available (see table below).

Compare your network card to the Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List. Keep in mind that each driver supports many types
of network cards. For instance the "tulip" driver can be used for Intel, LNE100TX, Accton and other types of network cards.
If your network driver is not listed in the above table, you will need to use a CD to create your ClarkConnect device.
Warning
You must install by CD-ROM if you have a PPPoE type connection or your ISP uses a non-standard connection
procedure (e.g. Telstra's Big Pond Service)
CD-ROM - Bootable CD-ROM
If your target computer contains a bootable CD-ROM drive, then you do not require an installation floppy disk. However, you
may need to change the settings in your BIOS to start the ClarkConnect install.
Creating the Installation Floppy
A note to users with PPPoE connections: The ClarkConnect software does support PPPoE, but the
software can not be installed over the network.
To create the installation floppy disk, you need to use the ClarkConnect floppy creation tool.
From Windows
Download the floppy disk software from the website. Unzip the package (two files) and run the makefloppy.exe file.
From Linux
Download the floppy disk script and image from the website. Unpack the files and run the mkbootfloppy script.
bash# tar -xzvf clarkconnect-2.1.tar.gz

bash# cd clarkconnect-2.1
bash# ./mkbootfloppy
Starting the Install
Warning
The contents of all your hard disks on the target computer will be completely erased if you choose to auto-partition your
system.
Network Install

CD-ROM Install - with Floppy
CD-ROM Install - with Bootable CD
● 1. If necessary, change your BIOS settings to run bootable CDs
Install Configuration
Selecting Your Language and Keyboard
ClarkConnect includes several languages. Select your lanaguage and keyboard.
Selecting Upgrade or Install
Select whether you are upgrading or installing a system. If you are upgrading, make sure your read the release notes and
upgrade notes.

Selecting your Server Type
ClarkConnect supports standalone server mode and gateway mode. Standalone mode is used to create a server on a local
area network (behind an existing firewall). Only one network card is required.
Selecting your Network Connection Type
Select the type of Internet connection you have (DSL, DSL/PPPoE, Cable).
Selecting Your Network Card Drivers
You will need to manually configure your network card settings if the installer does not automatically detect the driver. Most
ISA-based network cards may also require the I/O and IRQ settings for the driver. See the Linux Ethernet HOWTO and
Appendix A for some tips and tricks.
Configuring Your Network

Configuring Your Network - PPPoE
ClarkConnect supports PPPoE DSL connections. Add the username and password provided by your ISP on this screen.
For brain dead ISPs, you may also need to specify DNS servers.
Configuring Your LAN IP Address
If you are installing ClarkConnect as a gateway, you must specify the network settings for your local area network. The LAN
hostname can be used instead of the IP address for many network tools. For instance, you will be able to access the web-
based administration tool at https://<LAN-hostname>:81 in your web browser.
Selecting Your Hostname - Password - Timezone - Hard Disk Partitioning
The next few screens will ask for your device name, system password, timezone and partition settings. If you would like to
specify your own partition scheme, then you should select "yes" on the "Select Partition Type" screen. The partitioning
configuration will appear in the second stage of the installation process... don't panic!
Warning
Do not forget your system password!

Selecting Your Software
Select the software components to install on your system. Not all the modules (including AppleTalk and Junkbuster) are
shown here - don't panic. With the ClarkConnect web-based configuration, you can add other modules after installation.
Post Install
Network Card Configuration
Linux will auto-detect most PCI-based network cards. Older ISA cards may require setting parameters for the IRQ and IO.
You may also need to disable plug-and-play features on the card. Please check Red Hat's Hardware Compatibility Lists to
see what settings may be required for your brand of network card.
Warning
The two network cables coming from your box may need to be swapped. If you are having a hard time connecting to the
Internet, make sure you try swapping the cables.
If you have old network cards, you can configure the drivers and settings (IRQs and IO).
Warning
Gotcha! You may only need to specify an IO or IRQ ... but not both.
Apply the Latest Updates!
Please register your system and apply the latest software updates.
Chapter 5. Setting Up Other Machines

Overview
All of the computers and devices on your network must have Internet addresses between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254.
When you are configuring your network, you have two choices:
1. Manually set the IP address to a specific number (static IP) or
2. Allow ClarkConnect to automatically determine the IP address (via DHCP).
Make sure you only use an address between 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.99 if you configure devices with static IP addresses.
ClarkConnect includes a caching DNS server, but you can use this as your Internet Service Provider's DNS servers if you
wish.
Table 5-1. Network Settings
Feature Description
Default ClarkConnect IP Address 192.168.1.1
Available static IPs 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.99
Addresses used by DHCP 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.254
DNS Servers 192.168.1.1 and/or your ISP's DNS servers
Windows 95/98
To set up networking in the Windows 95/98 environment...
Step 1 - Control Panel
● Click on the Start button, then follow the menu to Settings > Control Panel
● Double-click on the Network icon to bring up a window that will look similar to the screenshot
● Select TCP/IP and click on the Properties button.

Step 2 - IP Address
On the IP Address tab, you can select Obtain an IP address automatically and ClarkConnect will automatically assign an IP
address for you.
Alternatively, you can choose Specify an IP address (as shown in the screenshot). Make sure you pick an address
between 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99. The subnet mask is always 255.255.255.0.
Step 3 - Gateway Settings
Click on the Gateway tab. If you decided to let ClarkConnect assign your IP address automatically, then there is no need to
add an Installed Gateway. Your ClarkConnect software will automatically handle this for you. If you decided to specify your
IP address, then you will need to add 192.168.1.1 to the list of installed gateways (as shown).

Step 4 - DNS Settings
If you decided to let the ClarkConnect assign your IP address automatically, then you can select Disable DNS.
ClarkConnect will automatically configure these settings.
If you decided to specify your IP address, then you will need to add 192.168.1.1 to the DNS Server Search Order list (as
shown).
You should also add a host name and then add "lan" as the domain. If you prefer to bypass the ClarkConnect DNS cache,
you can add the DNS servers given by your Internet service provider.

Windows 2000
To set up networking in the Windows 2000 environment...
Step 1 - Network Connections
Click on the Start button, then follow the menu to Settings > Network and Dial-up Connections
Right-click on the Local Connection icon and go to properties.

If the Local Area Connection Properties does have Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) go to Step 2 - Configuring TCP/IP. If the
Local Area Connection Properties does not have Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), you will need to install it using the Install
button.
The "Select Network Component Type" dialog box will appear.

● Select "Protocol" and click on Add. The enumeration of the protocols will take a minute or so.
● Select "Microsoft" from the left panel and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the right panel.
● Click the OK button.
Step 2 - Configuring TCP/IP
You can configure the TCP/IP properties by clicking on the properties button in the Local Area Connection dialog box.
Select "Obtain and IP address automatically" and ClarkConnect will automatically assign an IP address for you.

Alternatively, you can choose "Use the following IP address:" and enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and
DNS server addresses. If you have more than three DNS servers, use the advanced button at the bottom of the dialog box
to specify the addresses and the order in which they are used.

Windows XP
To set up networking in the Windows XP environment...
Step 1 - Control Panel
● Click on the Start button, then follow the menu to Settings > Control Panel
● Double-click on the Network Connections
● Right click on Local Area Connection and go to Properties
Step 2 - Select IP Properties
Select TCP/IP and click on the Properties button.

Step 3 - IP Address
On the IP Address tab, you can select Obtain an IP address automatically and ClarkConnect will automatically assign an IP
address for you.
Alternatively, you can choose Specify an IP address (as shown in the screenshot). Make sure you pick an address
between 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99. The subnet mask is always 255.255.255.0.
Step 4 - DNS Settings
If you decided to let the ClarkConnect assign your IP address automatically, then you can select Disable DNS.
ClarkConnect will automatically configure these settings.
If you decided to specify your IP address, then you will need to add 192.168.1.1 to the DNS Server Search Order list (as
shown).
You should also add a host name and then add "lan" as the domain. If you prefer to bypass the ClarkConnect DNS cache,
you can add the DNS servers given by your Internet service provider.

Chapter 6. Core Software
Overview
There are two ways to configure your ClarkConnect system. The Administration Console is used to configure your network
settings, while the Web-based Administration Tool is used to configure everything else!
Administration Console
The console must be accessed from a monitor and keyboard attached the server/gateway. In most installations, you will not
need to access this configuration tool... ever. However, if you are having trouble getting your network up and running, and
would like to change the IP address of one or more of your network cards, then login to the console. Use the root username
and the password specified during installation.

Web-based Administration
ClarkConnect includes a web-based configuration tool. If you used the default LAN settings, then point your browser to
https://192.168.1.1:81. If you are using the caching DNS server, you can type name of the server instead (e.g. clarkconnect.
lan).
Your browser will issue an "Invalid Certificate" message when you access the site. Your connection is still secure and
encrypted, but your server certificate is not official. A valid certificate (like the one used at https://secure.clarkconnect.com)
costs over $150 a year to maintain and not necessary for a private server. Use the "Install Certificate" option in your web
browser to bypass this warning screen the next time you access the ClarkConnect web-based administration.
Login as username "root" with the password you defined during the installation.
Chapter 7. Modules
Overview
You can install software on your system using two tools: either the web-based interface or the command-line "apt-get" tool.
Installing an add-on module may require several other software packages (or RPMS). Fortunately, both the web-interface
and command-line tool automatically resolve these software dependencies. See apt-get and web-based administration for
more information.

Warning
You can select some of the following packages during the installation wizard. Unfortunately, some software can only be
installed after the installation (e.g. Webmin, RAV Antivirus).
Antispam
Table 7-1. Antispam from SpamAssassin
Antispam Information
Description SpamAssassin provides a spam filter for you system's mail server.
Package Name cc-spamassassin
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-spamassassin"
The SpamAssassin software works in conjunction with your mail server. Use the web-based administration tool to enable
the software. You can configure the sensitivity and subject tag -- see screenshot for more information.
AppleTalk
Table 7-2. AppleTalk Information
AppleTalk Information
Description The netatalk package enables Linux to talk to Macintosh computers via the AppleTalk
networking protocol. It includes a daemon to allow Linux to act as a file server over
EtherTalk or IP.
Package Name cc-netatalk
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-netatalk"
Mac Notes
● Go to the Control Panel/AppleTalk and make sure ethernet is selected.
● Go to Chooser and click on AppleShare.
● Under file servers, the server should show up --- first victory
● Click ok will bring a dialog box asking for name and password, or you can choose guest. If you click guest you only
see the shared directory. (The same that Windows uses). If you enter a valid username and password on the
ClarkConnect box, you can access your home directory. You will also have access to the shared directory.
You can put checkmarks next to either share to create links on the desktop then click OK.
Note: when the box mentions cleartext for the password, it means that what you send as a password in not encrypted in
anyway. So any system between the Mac and ClarkConnect can through packet sniffing read your password. You should
now have complete read/write access to the linux box.--- second victory.
Troubleshooting Tips

● Stop and start atalk (Do not restart, it needs a few second pause between the commands and restart will do it too
quick)
● From the command line, run "top" and watch to make sure that atalkd, papd and afpd have started. Hit 'q' to exit.
● Check the /var/log/messages log file for errors.
Bandwidth Limiter
Table 7-3. Bandwidth Limiter
Bandwidth Limiter Information

Description The bandwidth limiter restricts download speeds for PCs on your local network.
Package Name cc-bandwidth
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-bandwidth"
Are you finding that a minority of users are using up the majority of your bandwidth? You can limit the download speed by IP
address.
Banner Ad and Pop-up Blocker
Table 7-4. Banner Ad and Pop-Up Blocker Information
Privoxy Information
Description Privoxy (Junkbusters) blocks banner ads and most pop-ups when browsing the web.
Package Name cc-privoxy
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-privoxy"
Configuring Privoxy -- Tranparent Mode
Privoxy can be integrated with the Squid Web Proxy to provide transparent banner ad and pop-up filtering. In other words,
you can enable filtering on the gateway -- no configuration changes are required for the desktops on your LAN. To enable
transparent mode, make sure the Privoxy software is enabled on the Squid Web Proxy page and make sure Squid is set to
run in transparent mode. See the Squid Web Proxy for more information.
Configuring Privoxy -- Non-Tranparent Mode
Use the following instructions to use the Privoxy software in non-transparent mode.
● Step 1 - Install the Privoxy module

● Step 2 - Make sure Privoxy is running - check "Running Services" in the the web-based administration tool.
● Step 3 - You must set your browser to use ClarkConnect as a proxy server. In Internet Explorer, click on Tools on
the menu bar, then Internet Options. Click on the Connections tab, and then the LAN Settings button.
● Step 4 - Add 192.168.1.1 and port 8118 to the proxy server settings. Click on the Advanced button and go to the
next step.
● Step 5 - You will not be able to access websites on your local network unless you specify the exceptions shown.
Caching Nameserver
People are not too adept at remembering numbers, so we we use hostnames instead of IP addresses (e.g. clarkconnect.lan
instead of 192.168.1.1). The default hostname was specified during the installation wizard (see LAN settings). If the
computers on your network use ClarkConnect as their nameserver (see Setting Up Other Machines), the LAN hostname will
automatically appear in the caching nameserver.

Tip: If you add names in the /etc/hosts file, the results will automatically be included in the caching DNS
server! You can configure entries in the /etc/hosts file using the web-based administration tool.
Special thanks to Simon Kelley for creating the dnsmasq caching nameserver
Caller ID
Table 7-5. Caller ID Information
Caller ID Information
Description Log incoming caller information
Package Name cc-callerid
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-callerid"
Warning
The install will attempt to detect a modem -- this can cause the system to hang!
If you are lucky enough to have a Linux-friendly modem with caller ID capabilities, then you can install the Caller ID package
from ClarkConnect. A call log is displayed on the web-based administration tool.
DHCP Server
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows hosts on a network to request and be assigned IP addresses. The
default configuration for the DHCP server is given in the Network Settings table. If you changed the default LAN settings
during the installation wizard, then your changes will also be reflected in the DHCP server.
Some tips:
● You should only have 1 DHCP server per network. If you already have one running, then you will cause grief.
● Keep a range of IP addresses available for static addresses. Some devices (printers) and incoming VPN
connections may require a static IP.
● Do not use the broadcast address (e.g. 192.168.1.255) as the last IP in the range.
● If you change your LAN IP address, you will need to make changes to your DHCP server. All changes can be made
through the web-based adminstration (see screenshot).

Mail Server - POP and IMAP
Table 7-6. POP and IMAP Mail Servers Information
POP and IMAP Mail Servers Information

Description Remote mail access servers.
Package Name cc-imap
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-imap"
Configuring POP/IMAP
You can use either IMAP or POP to pickup your mail from the server. The screenshot below shows the configuration for
POP mail. Make sure the Xinetd server is running (this is a "super server" for other things... including email) and that either
the POP3 or IMAP service is enabled.
You can now configure your e-mail client (Outlook, Eudora, etc.) Your POP/SMTP/IMAP servers should point to your
ClarkConnect box.
Mail Server - SMTP
Table 7-7. SMTP Mail Server Information
SMTP Mail Server Information

Description ClarkConnect uses the Postfix SMTP/MTA mail server.
Package Name cc-postfix
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-postfix"
Warning
Do not forget to open up firewall ports for e-mail. You only need to open the POP or IMAP ports if you plan on picking up
your mail from outside your local network.

Configuring SMTP/Postfix
You can configure your mail server with the web-based administration tool.
Tips
The Hostname does not have to be related to the e-mail domains that you host. It can be ANY valid Internet name for your
machine. In our example, the Primary Domain is the same as the hostname... just a coincidence.
It is important that you do not make an error with the Trusted Networks parameter. Without the parameter, any user on the
Internet could send e-mail via your ClarkConnect box. Not good -- spammers would eventually find your box and abuse it.
The default setting allows any user with a 192.168.x.x address send e-mail through the box. If you use a 10.x.x.x address,
you should add 10.0.0.0/8 to the list of trusted networks.
FTP Server
Table 7-8. ProFTPD Information
ProFTPD Information
Description ProFTPD is a full-featured FTP server.
Package Name cc-proftpd
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-proftpd"
The default configuration for ClarkConnect allows read-only anonymous FTP (directory is /var/ftp) and full access to user
accounts. Advanced configuration for the FTP server is beyond the scope of the web-based administration tool. You can
configure the FTP server by editing the /etc/proftpd.conf configuration file. Take a look at the ProFTPD website to configure
advanced settings such as bandwidth throttling.

Intrusion Detection
Table 7-9. Intrusion Detection Information
Snort Information
Description The Snort software is an advanced intrusion detection system.
Package Name cc-snort
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-snort"
The Snort package is included with ClarkConnect to make users more aware of some of the daily "hostile" traffic that can
pass by your Internet connection. The SnortSnarf software package creates web pages from the snort log files on a daily
basis.
Shameless Plug
New exploits are discovered everyday. The Nimda and Code Red worms are the rule... not the exception! Snort maintains a
list of over 1000 rules in their database. You can receive automatic snort updates by upgrading your Gateway Services
account.
Warning
Snort does require some horsepower. A Pentium 100 with 32MB was able to keep up, but the machine was getting a good
workout.
System Watcher
Table 7-10. System Watcher
Network Watcher Information

Description Monitors the status of your network and system.
Package Name cc-syswatch
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-syswatch"
The syswatch daemon monitors the status of your broadband Internet, and watches for potential system issues. The
software logs any downtime and attempts to reconnect to the Internet when trouble occurs. The software is also responsible
for submitting a new IP address to the dynamic DNS system.

Print Server
Table 7-12. Print Server
Print Server Information

Description A print server for ClarkConnect
Package Name cc-cups
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-cups"
ClarkConnect includes the CUPS - the Common Unix Printing System - in addition to Foomatic - a database of printer
drivers and descriptions. These two systems (with the help of a few other software packages) create the core of the printing
system.
Supported Printers
Not all printers are compatible with Linux. The best resource is the Linux Printing Database. You can find whether or not
your printer is supported. If so, then follow the link from the web-based administration tool to add your printer (or jump
straight to it: http://192.168.1.1:631 on a default LAN setup).
Cups and Samba
When you configure a new printer with Cups, it will appear as a shared printer in Windows Network Neighborhood (if Samba
is installed). However, you will need to restart the Samba service after adding a new printer - use the Running Services
page from the web-based administration tool.
Samba - Windows File Sharing
Table 7-13. Samba
Samba Information
Description Samba file sharing system.
Package Name cc-samba
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-samba"
If you are using Windows PCs, you will be able to see your ClarkConnect box through your Network Neighborhood icon.
Use the Samba/File Sharing page in the web-based administration to add or change the name, workgroup or comment
shown in Network Neighborhood.
Gotchas
Warning
Due to a "feature" in Microsoft networking, you may not see ClarkConnect right away; sometimes it takes several minutes
to appear. A quick way around this "feature" is to use the Find Computer tool.

Type in "clarkconnect", then hit the Find Now button.
Web Mail

Web Server Information

Description Web server for ClarkConnect.
Package Name cc-httpd
Command-line Install "apt-get install cc-httpd"
Warning
Gotcha! You must enable the webserver through the ClarkConnect web-based administration tool. You must also open
the firewall port to allow web connections.
Webmin
Table 7-17. Webmin
Webmin Information
Description A web-based administration tool.
Package Name webmin
Command-line Install "apt-get install webmin"
Webmin is a alternative web-based administration tool. Once you have installed Webmin, you can access it from your web
browser -- https://192.168.1.1:10000 on a default installation (make sure you use https when you type the address). Use
the "root" username and password to login.
Chapter 8. Firewall
Overview
Take a look at the Test My Shields and Probe My Ports security tools from Gibson's Research. They will test your
ClarkConnect box for common security problems. Of course, ClarkConnect has been configured to be secure, so you
should be happy with the results. In fact, your ClarkConnect box considers this type of "network scanning" mischievous
behavior and logs the information in the Intrusion Detection log.
Opening Ports and Port Forwarding
The ClarkConnect web-based administration has two tools to help you configure your firewall. The Firewall Tool opens up
ports to allow services (e.g. web server) on ClarkConnect. The Port Forwarding tool allows you to forward ports to
computers behind your firewall.
You can set up basic firewall rules using the web-based administration tool (screenshot below). You can find additional
documentation in the web-based administration pages.

Chapter 9. Services
Services Overview
ClarkConnect comes with free dynamic DNS. You will always be able to find your server/gateway from anywhere on the
Internet - even with a dynamic IP address. You can also subscribe to the mailing list to receive the latest software and
security patches. Just create a new account and then configure your ClarkConnect device.
You can upgrade your account to receive more features:
● Domain name registration
● System fault monitoring
● Security audit
● Backup e-mail service
● Advanced DNS service
● Bandwidth metering
Software Updates - Web-based Administration
The web-based administration includes a tool to update and install software on your system. You can view and install the
latest software on your system with a few clicks on a web browser. You must register your ClarkConnect system to access
this page.
Software Updates - Command Line apt-get
The apt-get tool installs and upgrades software on your system. For those of you familiar with the underlying RPM package
system, you know the frustration of resolving software dependencies. With apt-get, these dependency issues are
automatically resolved.
To use apt-get, login to your ClarkConnect server as root. You can use SSH or the console. The following list of commands

will get you started.
Tip: Do you want to install the latest patches? Run the following two commands: i) apt-get update ii) apt-get
upgrade
apt-get update -- retrieves the latest list of software and updates available through apt-get. You should run this command
before using other apt-get commands (you must run this at least once).
apt-get upgrade -- performs an upgrade for all obsolete software on your system.
apt-get install <package> -- installs software on your system. The package is the name of the RPM (see following table).
apt-get -- displays other apt-get options

Chapter 10. Troubleshooting
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ only covers installation questions. Please check the website for more FAQs - http://www.clarkconnect.org/help/
Why can't I get ClarkConnect to detect my network card?
Please read ISA Network Card page (even if you are using PCI cards!).

How do I fix signal 11 errors?
Old hardware can sometimes cause grief for the Linux installer. These error messages can be caused by memory
problems, hard disk detection and configuration errors, and many other types of errors. Take a look at the extra log screens
after the error occurs - type Alt-F1 through F5 to see all the screens.
Check this website for tips and tricks: http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/
How do I remove the "FAILED" messages on boot?
This error will occur if your second network card cannot be auto-detected. When certain services start up, they cannot find a
network interface and spit out an error. Once you have configured your network cards, the error messages should
disappear.
How do I edit files? I don't know vi...
Use the much less cryptic nano text editor.
Appendix A. Understanding Networks
On several ClarkConnect configuration screens, you will see a place to configure network settings. What does this mean?
Using special notation, you can specify a network (or range of IP addresses). You must specify the first IP address in the
range, followed by a "netmask". There are two common ways to specify the netmask (see table and example below).
Example -- the 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255 range of IP addresses can specified with the following two methods:
● 192.168.1.0/24
● 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
The first and last addresses (192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255 in the first example) are reserved and cannot be used.
Table A-1. Netmasks and Networks
Netmask IPs Sample Usable Range

/24 -- 255.255.255.0 254 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254
/25 -- 255.255.255.128 126 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.126
/26 -- 255.255.255.192 62 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.62
/27 -- 255.255.255.224 30 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.30
/28 -- 255.255.255.240 14 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.14
/29 -- 255.255.255.248 6 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.6
/30 -- 255.255.255.252 2 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.2
Appendix B. ISA Network Cards
ISA Network Cards If you decide to use ISA network cards, you may be in for a world of hurtin'. You may end up setting
jumpers, disabling plug-n-play, setting IRQs, or downloading DOS configuration tools from a vendor's website. These cards
may take more effort to configure, but many are just as capable of doing the job!
The following is courtesy of Paul Ramsey's Red Hat Linux 6.X as an Internet Gateway for a Home Network - http://www.tldp.
org/HOWTO/mini/Home-Network-mini-HOWTO.html
Configuring a Network Driver

OK, so one or both of your cards are not recognized by the kernel. This is not a problem, really. What we're going to have to
do is tell the kernel more explicitly how to find your cards. There are lots of twists and turns here, and I'm not going to cover
all of them. Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough turn to the Ethernet HOWTO. Here's some summary advice:
● You have a PCI network card. You are probably sitting pretty, assuming it is not so new and cutting edge that no
drivers exist. You can often find out a great deal about your network cards (and other things) by reading through /
proc/pci and noting down makes and models.
● You have an ISA network card. It is possible you will have to know the IO base address and the IRQ the card is
operating on. You have manuals, right? Right? If not, this would be a good time to surf to the manufacturer's web
site and see if they have any online references. Or if you have an old DOS configuration diskette, boot to DOS and
see if there is a setup program which will read and set the address and IRQ.
● You have an ISA Plug'n'Play card. You'll have to learn how to configure it first -- read the Plug'n'Play HOWTO.
Fortunately, once you've configured your card you will know exactly what the IO base and IRQ are.
Now, since you know what the make and model of eth0 and eth1 are you can go to the compatibility page of the Ethernet
HOWTO and look up your card. Take note of the recommended driver, and any information about special options your card
may require. Write it down.
It's time to edit a configuration file! The file we will be editing is /etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf). Open this file up in the
text editor of your choice. Because there are so many possibilities and combinations of things which can go in this file, I'm
going to give my own gateway as an example. I have a PCI 10/100Mb card based on the VIA Rhine chip, and a plain-jane
10Mb NE2000 ISA clone. I use the 100Mb card for the internal network and the 10Mb card for the external connection. My /
etc/conf.modules (modules.conf) file looks like this:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300 irq=10
alias eth1 via-rhine
My conf.modules (modules.conf) file is laid out as follows:
● The first line is there to configure my parallel port for printing. You probably have a similar line. Leave it alone.
● The second line (alias eth0 ne) tells the kernel to use the ne driver for the eth0 device.
● The third line (options ne io=0x300 irq=10) tells the ne driver at which io address and irq interrupt it will find the ISA
card at. If you have ISA cards you will probably have to use this kind of directive, just replace the driver, io and irq
directives with the correct information for your card.
● The fourth line (alias eth1 via-rhine) tells the kernel to use the via-rhine driver for eth1. Because my eth1 card is a
PCI card, I do not need to provide io or irq information: the PCI subsystem configures the device automatically.
You will want to ensure that you have alias entries in conf.modules (modules.conf) for both your cards, and correct options
lines for all your ISA cards. You may already have lines in conf.modules (modules.conf) for any ethernet cards you
configured during installation.
When you have finished editing conf.modules (modules.conf), try ifconfig eth0 and ifconfig eth1 again. You may have to
apply some trial and error if you are messing with IO addresses and IRQs without a manufacturers manual.
Two Identical Network Cards
So, you were really really smart, bought two identical network cards for your Linux gateway, and now you cannot get them
to work together? Do not worry, getting them to coexist is just a matter of using the correct syntax in /etc/conf.modules
(modules.conf). For this example, the addresses and IRQ numbers are made up, and I will assume that you have bought a
matched pair of NE2000 clones (a common choice). Your /etc/conf.modules (modules.conf) file should look like this:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x330,0x360 irq=7,9
The addressing options are all given on the same line, and the first number for each addressing type is for eth0, the second
number for eth1.

Appendix C. License and Warranty
This does not apply to Suva, Windows software, and some other components.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (c) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place
- Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this

license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to
make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and
to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General
Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.

Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone

to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis

or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.
You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.

We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

modification follow.
Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a

notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers
to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means

either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not

covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that
is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute
such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof,
to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when

run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in
the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work
based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If

identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and
can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus,
it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program

with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source

code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to

give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically

performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the

corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to

distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by
offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program

except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will
not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in
full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all
its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent

infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would
not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under

any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any

patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute

software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be

a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in

certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may
add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program

specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the
Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Warranty
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY

FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN

WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
