The nightmare is that gentoo will only handle a small subset of the |
18 |
networks I need to connect to at any one time (i.e., I cant configure |
19 |
all the networks in the one set of config files - see my original post |
20 |
for the permutations). I cant see that gentoo's method will allow me to |
21 |
handle all the permutations without having scripts to reconfigure it at |
22 |
each site by copying in new files and restarting services/vpn's and |
23 |
athentications depending on what is required at each site. The reason I |
24 |
posted this originally is that the above process keeping separate |
25 |
configs has been working for years (inc. when I was using Mandrake) and |
26 |
I am happy to keep doing that - however something in gentoo's latest |
27 |
baselayout breaks things like zebedee and openvpn (flakey on start/stop) |
28 |
in this scenario. |
