Labeling a Disk Partition in Linux
There are 6 programs used to label a partition – the program used depends on the partition’s filesystem type:
-
For FAT16 and FAT32 partitions, use mtools.
-
For NTFS partitions, use ntfsprogs.
-
For ext2 or ext3 partitions, use e2label.
-
For JFS partitions, use jfs_tune.
-
For ReiserFS (v3) partitions, use reiserfstune.
-
For XFS partitions, use xfs_admin
WAN Issues
Problem #1:
One location on the WAN has it’s own external internet connection. The is a WatchGaurd FireBox x10 that protects that connection. Eleven computers at that location need internet access, but the FireBox only allows ten clients internet access.
Problem #2:
Another location needs to use the above location for internet access, instead of the default route to the internet, so that they can share access to a premium web site.
Problem #1 solved:
Solution:
- Add Dante Server to an existing Linux workstation at the location so that other computers at that location could use it as a proxy to get to the internet therefore circumventing the “out of licenses” issue with the firewall.
- I was unable to make Dante act as a proxy for incoming requests to an ip address (the firewall) on the same subnet. So I connected the “optional” network on the firewall to the switch with a different IP subnet than the “internal” network of the firewall. (You can have more than one IP subnet on the same network segment, but they don’t see each other.) Next, I added a second NIC to the workstation running Dante, and attached it to the same network segment, on the same IP subnet as the “optional” network of the firewall.
- Everything works!!!Here is the working danted.conf file:********* BEGIN DANTED.CONF********************************
logoutput: danted-serverinternal: eth1 port = 1080
internal: 127.0.0.1 port = 1080external: eth0

Setup Dante proxy server for use with SSH Tunnel
This is short and sweet, it assumes the you are comfortable with the linux configuration from the command line.
On the server:
- apt-get install dante-server
- use the following for /etc/danted.conf
internal: 127.0.0.1 port = 51080 #note: you can use any available port here. external: REAL.SERVER.IP clientmethod: none method: none client pass { from: 127.0.0.0/8 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0 } pass { from: 127.0.0.0/8 to: 0.0.0.0/0 protocol: tcp udp } user.privileged: proxy user.notprivileged: proxy user.libwrap: proxy- Restart Dante: /etc/init.d/danted restart
On the client:
- Connect and establish port tunnel: ssh -L 51080:127.0.0.1:51080 user@host
- Configure your browser, ftp client, etc…. to use sock5 proxy, host=localhost, port=51080
Enjoy!
