 | | | VPN to RHEL 3 | VPN to RHEL 3 2005-02-21 - By Steve Buehler
Back
I am running a RHEL 3 ES box using kernel kernel-smp-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL and
use up2date to update the kernel to new releases. I have never built a
custom kernel before. I have been trying to get a VPN server working on
it. I have tried to use 3 sites to do the build of the new kernel with vpn
server support. I can 't seem to find two sites that I had tried to follow
step by step instructions on now. Not sure if it matters anyway since they
either weren 't for RHEL 3 or assumed that you were an expert in rebuilding
a kernel (one actually stated that assumption)....which I am not. So I
tried to combine the two vpn sites with the RHEL 3 manual on custom-kernel
builds.
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-custom-kernel-modularized.html
No luck.
Does anybody know of a site that gives specific/detailed/step by step
directions to get a VPN server running on a RHEL 3 box?
On a side note, can anybody tell me why RHEL doesn 't just go ahead and put
that support into its Kernels? From what I understand. Once I put in a
kernel with VPN support....since it has to be a custom built kernel, I will
never be able to use RedHat 's "up2date " feature anymore to keep the kernel
updated. I will always have to custom build my kernel if I wanted to keep
it updated. Better yet.....is there a place that has rpm kernel-smp 's for
RHEL 3 ES that have it built in so that I can just install them as an rpm
instead of trying to rebuild the kernel?
Thanks
Steve
