RE: [Security Firewall] FEATURE REQUEST - Att: Mandriva

I did a search for zebra in the MNF2 directories and didn't find
anything.

I think zebra enables a cisco-like console that you telnet to
separately.

Ill let you know if it looks like a web interface would be
practical/possible.

Thanks Florin and Daouda for your immediate responses.

Hi Sean,

I think I have added zebra in the MNF2 iso  but I don't remember
exactly.

MNF2 is based on a Mandrake 10.0 so you can go to any download mandrake
mirror and get it.

For example go to http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/ftp.php3
and replace 10.2 with 10.0 in all urls. You will then be able to browse
the contents of all the mirrors and get zebra for mnf2 (from the contrib
section if my memory is correct).

Does your request also include a web interface to configure zebra ?

Maybe if you tell me what type of configuration did you do for zebra one
can create you a web an MNF web interface for that.

my 2cts,

- Florin
