FOOD FOR THOUGHT
=================================================================
Because we humans are big and clever enough to produce and utilize
antibiotics and disinfectants, it is easy to convince ourselves that
we have banished bacteria to the fringes of existence.
Don't you believe it. Bacteria may not build cities or have
interesting social lives, but they will be here when the Sun explodes.
This is their planet, and we are on it only because they allow us to
be.
-- Bill Bryson

EDITORIAL
=================================================================
The 500th issue
Well, well, wadday know? This is Fidonews issue number 500 from this
editor. No other editor has come even close to that in all of
Fidonews's existence.
I must admit it's been a turbulent time. The first four or five years
everything went smothly. We had lot's of people making contributions.
But unlike all the previous editors, who could pick and choose from a
plethoria of contributions, and who could refuse an article on
technical grounds for just a misplaced comma, I had to handle mostly
unformatted contributions sent to me via email or netmail -- not in a
properly formatted file attach.
Alas, I didn't mind. I thought it was a major challange to make all
contributions properly formatted so that our readers could enjoy their
effort.
On avarage I've probably spent two hours on every single one of those
500 issues of the Fidonews that I have edited.
Now, with this 500th edition, I've looked at the log file here, trying
to get a grip of how many articles that's actually been published in
the Fidonews in those 500 issues. And the result, not including this
500th issue, you will find in another column here.

GENERAL ARTICLES
=================================================================
A SECOND LIFE FOR THE LINKSYS Part 2
By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555
Last week I described how to set up a 6in4 tunnel on the Linksys
WRT54GL. This article describes how to provide IPv6 connectivity to
your machines connected to the LAN.
First you have to enable IPv6 on your systems if it isn't already. Go
to the command line and type "Ipconfig" for Windows or "ifconfig" for
*nix. If you see an address that starts with fe80:: then IPv6 is ena-
bled. That address is a so called link local address.
Windows XP SP2/3 is IPv6 capable, but it is not enabled by default.
From an account with administrator rights type "IPV6 INSTALL" on the
command line to enable it.
IPv6 has a mechanism called "router advertisements". A router
announces itself on the local link by regularly sending out router
advertisements to all nodes on the local link. A node that needs
router information can also send out a router sollicitaion message to
have all routers on the link send out a router advertisement message
instead of waiting for the next broadcast.
The router adverisement contains, among other thing, the subnet prefix
to be used by the nodes on the local link. There is a mechanism called
"prefix delegation" to let a router be assigned a subnet from its
uplink, but this mechanism is not supported by the he.net and sixxs
tunnels and AFAIK, openwrt does not support it either, so the subnet
has to be configured manually. The he.net tunnels come with a /64
subnet by default, sixxs gives you a /48 on request. Note that the
subnet address and the tunnel address are not the same. The tunnel
address also uses a full /64, but that can not be used a a subnet.
Use cut and paste for the addresses if you can. a typo is easily made
you will have a hard time finding the error if it does not work.
Go to the file /etc/config/network and find the following section:
[code]
#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
option type bridge
option ifname "eth0.0"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.1.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0
[/code]
Add the following lines:
FIDONEWS 28-32 Page 4 8 Aug 2011
[code]
# add the subnet prefix to the LAN interface
option ip6addr 2001:470:1f15:1117::1/64
[code]
Do not ommit the /64, it won't work without it. For the address use
the one that the tunnel broker gave you as the subnet prefix. If you
have a /48 use any /64 within the /48 range.
We also need to tell the firewall to forward packets from the LAN to
the tunnel. Add the following section to /etc/config/firewall
[code]
# Forwarding van lan naar de he.net tunnel
config forwarding
option src lan
option dst henet
[/code]
That completes the basic setup to have all your machines on the LAN
access the IPv6 internet. They should all get a at least one global
IPv6 address and you should be able to make outgoing IPv6 connections.
Surf to http://www.kame.net. If you see the turtke dance, you have
IPv6. Surf to http://www.test-ipv6.com to see more details about your
IPv6 connection. That site BTW, is run by a former FideNet sysop:
Jason Fesler, the author of GIGO.
Other useful test sites are ipv6-test.com and ipv6-speedtest.net.
This completes the setup for client use. The OpenWrt firewall - as any
decent firewall should - blocks all unsolicited incoming packets by
default. If you wish to run IPv6 capable servers on any of your
systems, you have to open the required ports and enable IPv6 forwar-
ding. I have not experimented with that yet. You can find the infor-
mation on the the official openwrt site, where you can find almost all
of the information on how to play with your new toy.

Enjoy.

FIDONEWS INFORMATION
=================================================================
How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration

If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.

IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
