== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />

The SMTP servers do not require authentication, but use TSL for security. The POP and IMAP services of ULB accept unsecure connections (no SSL). The POP and IMAP servers of Iridia require secure connections (with SSL).<br />
<br />
There are also web interfaces available to read the email if you can not connect to the above servers via POP or IMAP:<br />

<div>== Network configuration ==<br />
You should get a static IP from the system administrator. Your hostname will be the name of a famous scientist and the domain is ulb.ac.be. Other relevant addresses are:<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

To anyone who wants to use the informations in this archive to apply for an equivalence of diploma in Belgium ...<br />
<br />
First : the equivalence is delivered by the CFWB (communaute francaise wallone de belgique). <br />
<br />
On their website, the sole information I was able to find is :<br />
http://www.enseignement.be/prof/espaces/sup/naric/Organigramme_equivalences_sup_juin_2005-1.xls<br />
<br />
This is the list of people in charge of communicating with you, categorized by type of diploma.<br />
<br />
If you are from computer science, you will probably interact with Philippe Polet. His email is : philippe.polet@cfwb.be<br />
<br />
You have to contact CFWB and ask a instructions for equivalence. You will receive the file INSTRUCTIONS_UNIV.doc<br />
or an updated version.<br />
<br />
The file inventaire.odt contains the list of all things you should send them back, that is :<br />
<br />
* a motivation letter (see the directory motivation for an example)<br />
* the list of all what you submit to them<br />
* a copie of an official document stating your identity (a photocopy of your ID card or passport is ok)<br />
* copies (should be certified by a competent authority in Belgium {administration communale} or abroad ) of all the diplomas (bachelor and master) you received from universities - NOTE: this has to be translated in French by a sworn translator (see later)<br />
* copies (should be certified by a competent authority in Belgium {administration communale} or abroad ) of the list of the grades received (bachelor and master) - NOTE: this as well has to be translated in French by a sworn translator (see later)<br />
* the original, official and detailed program of your courses. This should be given for each year, in original language. It must comprise at least a title for each course, a description and the amount of time (in hours). If the program is not in french you should also provide a of the main facts (title of the courses, amount of time, year, university) in French. You don't need to have this translated by a sworn translator, you can do this by yourself. If you are lucky somebody coming from your university already did part of the work, so ask around.<br />
* a simple copy the master thesis you wrote in the original language. If it is not in French you need to attach a summary of one or two pages in French (this as well doesn't need to be done by a sworn translator).<br />
* a copy of all the internships you made (if you have any official document, join a copy too) + French homemade translation. <br />
* the form page 7 present in the instructions (see formulaire_equivalence.odt). Of course the form should be filled properly. If you don't understand french, ask to a french speaking guy. If this is still not clear, ask for clarifications to somebody of the cfwb, Mr Philippe Polet for instance or to somebody that has already done it.<br />
* a CV in french (homemade translation is ok)<br />
* a proof that you have paid 124 euros (the amount may change with time) to the cfwb. Informations on who to pay are provided within the instructions file. The bank account extract is enough, but to be on the safe side ask your bank for an official proof.<br />
<br />
<br />
Advices :<br />
<br />
* Be patient with people from CFWB, they are sometimes a bit slow but it does not help to get angry.<br />
* The most difficult part is probably to gather certified copies of all your mark sheets, and to find back the official programs of your courses. If you are from Politecnico di Milano you can easily find these info on the webpoliself <br />
* If you are not french speaking, translations may be costly. Try to have french friends (At least for some days...)<br />
* For the official translation, you can contact <br />
Paul Janssens, Av. Louise 146/B-1050 Brussels<br />
<br />
<br />
Be careful because all the process is time consuming and very boring. It usually takes one week full time. Also, when you submit all the documents, you may need to wait between 2 and 6 months for the official answer. This is because the decision process is done by a committee that does this only two or three times per year (usually in the same period of the FRIA or FNRS submission, that is, beginning of september beginning of February. This may change on an yearly basis, so call them and ask if you want to be sure). Even if you don't have the equivalence before the deadline of you application you can always submit the letter you receive confirming the submission of the documents. This is normally accepted and should not be a problem at all. After you receive the real one you have to submit it as well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Last note: even if you submit all the documents there is no guarantee that you will receive the equivalence. This depends on your scholar past and, sometimes, also on the grades you have.<br />
<br />
=== Sworn Translation ===<br />
<br />
In order to have an official translation you have to find a registered translator of your language. You can usually find the list on the consulate or embassy website. This is rather expensive, so be ready to pay around 80€.<br />
<br />
The translated copies must have the stamp of the official translator and must be brought to the justice palace (tribunal de 1ère instance) for authentication. This translation and authentication can, in theory be done also in your home country. Nobody never did this, so ask somebody at the cfwb if this is possible and how.</div>Mathewshttps://iridia.ulb.ac.be/w/index.php?title=ECTS_formation_doctorale&diff=5294ECTS formation doctorale2010-02-20T09:42:29Z<p>Mathews: </p>
<hr />
<div>=== Intro ===<br />
<br />
This page describes what activities you can use for your formation doctorale to reach the 60 ECTS (european credit points). Please note: it's not important to get all the credits very fast, usually nobody has a problem with collecting the credits till the end of the DEA. It's just important that every Ph.D. student of IRIDA uses the same rules.<br />
<br />
=== Exemption ===<br />
<br />
In case your formal studies, before entering the Ph.D program at ULB, lasted at least six years - you can be exempted from the formation doctorale. Normally, this decision will be made based on the dossier you submit to the ULB when applying for the Ph.D program.<br />
<br />
=== Credits ===<br />
<br />
As the thesis ("rapport d'avancement") and its defense counts for 30 ECTS, you actually have to reach only 30 ECTS by other means. Below there is a list of the activities that are eligable.<br />
<br />
==== Courses of the university (ECTS awarded according to course) ====<br />
* advanced courses organized by the "ecoles doctorales"<br />
* courses organized by the university in fields relevant for the PhD topic<br />
* course in technical english<br />
<br />
==== Conferences, seminars, etc. (1 ECTS per 10 hours of attendance) ====<br />
* seminars (count CoDE and IRIDIA seminars only)<br />
* public PhD defenses<br />
* attended conferences (count 10 hours per day)<br />
<br />
==== Publishing of any kind (1 ECTS per 25 hours of work) ====<br />
* journal paper: 10 hours per page, maximum 200 hours<br />
* conference paper: 10 hours per page, maximum 100 hours<br />
* conference presentation: 50 hours<br />
* conference poster: 25 hours<br />
* offical presentations (review meetings, IRIDIA seminars etc): 50 hours<br />
* any other presentation (internal, project meetings, robotic meeting, literature meeting etc): 25 hours<br />
<br />
<br />
Please note: the listed hours are '''guidelines'''. If you're just the 5th author of a journal paper, it might not be reasonable to put 200 hours in the report. '''Adjust the times on a per-case basis.'''<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />

should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />

== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />

<div>== Network configuration ==<br />
You should get a static IP from the system administrator. Your hostname will be the name of a famous scientist and the domain is ulb.ac.be. Other relevant addresses are:<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

<div>== Network configuration ==<br />
You should get a static IP from the system administrator. Your hostname will be the name of a famous scientist and the domain is ulb.ac.be. Other relevant addresses are:<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. <br />
<br />
The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer.<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"<br />
|-<br />
! Service<br />
! URL<br />

<br />
The SMTP server does not require authentication. The POP and IMAP services of ULB accept unsecure connections (no SSL). The POP and IMAP servers of Iridia require secure connections (with SSL).<br />
<br />
There are also web interfaces available to read the email if you can not connect to the above servers via POP or IMAP:<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />
<br />

===== In short: How to access? =====<br />
<br />
Drop the following aliases into ~/.ssh/config. Afterwards you are able to connect to the desired sbot simply by using 'ssh sbot8' for example, whereas the number is the same as on the sbots.<br />
<br />
#<br />
# SSH config for the IRIDIA sbots.<br />
# In order to connect to the ssh daemon on the sbots, you have to connect<br />
# to the sbot access point 'iridia-bots.ulb.ac.be' using a specific port.<br />
# The connection is then forwarded to port 22 on the requested sbot.<br />
# This definitions are aliases for easier access. The numbers are the<br />
# same as on the sbots.<br />

===== Technical Details =====<br />
<br />
The robots connect to a dedicated wireless network upon boot. They receive static private IP addresses from the access point. An individual robot can be accessed from the outside by accessing a special port on the access point. For example, the following can be used for accessing sbot8 using ssh:<br />
<br />
$ ssh -p 20822 root@iridia-bots.ulb.ac.be<br />

==== Serial Console ====<br />
<br />
I (Arne) made two serial console access cables. They are marked with '''sbot serial console access''' and should be flying around in the arena. Connect the small red plug to the sbot connector on the left of the power-on switch. It's slightly under the microphone board, so you might want to remove it (but you can do without). The program of choice for connect to the robot is minicom. Use<br />
<br />
$ minicom -s<br />
<br />
for setting it up. The connection details are: 115kbaud, 8N1, no flow control. Your port should be /dev/ttyS0 if you have a real serial port, or /dev/ttyUSB0 if you're using the USB-to-serial adapter (should be flying around in the arena as well). Then, use <br />
<br />
$ minicom -o<br />
<br />
to connect to the robot. Upon bootup, you should see the kernel messages. If you connected after booting, you<br />
might have to press <ENTER> one time to get a prompt.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On Windows XP, please install the driver before setting up a network printer. On *nix-like systems (including Mac OS X), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the LPD/LPR printing protocol using the drivers provided in the table "Drivers" (whereby Mac OS X normally comes with these drivers pre-installed). These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options".<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On Windows XP, please install the driver before setting up a network printer. On *nix-like systems (including Mac OS X), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the LPD/LPR printing protocol using the drivers provided in the table "Drivers" (whereby Mac OS X normally comes with these drivers pre-installed). These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options".<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />
<br />

== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On Windows XP, please install the driver before setting up the network printer. On *nix-like systems (including Mac OS X), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the LPD/LPR printing protocol using the drivers provided in the table "Drivers" (whereby Mac OS X normally comes with these drivers pre-installed). These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installed Options".<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />
<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers (listed in table "General Information") at IRIDIA can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system. On *nix-like systems (including Mac OS X), the easiest option is to install the printers using the LPD/LPR printing protocol using the drivers provided in the table "Drivers" (whereby Mac OS X normally comes with these drivers pre-installed). These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installed Options".<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />
<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers (listed in table "General Information") at IRIDIA can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system. On *nix-like systems (including Mac OS X), the easiest option is to install the printers using the LPD/LPR printing protocol using the drivers provided in the table "Drivers" (whereby Mac OS X normally comes with these drivers pre-installed). Each of these driver also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installed Options".<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"<br />
|-<br />
! Service<br />
! URL<br />

<br />
The SMTP server does not require authentication. The POP and IMAP services of ULB accept unsecure connections (no SSL). The POP and IMAP servers of Iridia require secure connections (with SSL).<br />
<br />
There are also web interfaces available to read the email if you can not connect to the above servers via POP or IMAP:<br />

== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

<hr />
<div>== Network configuration ==<br />
You should get a static IP from the system administrator. Your hostname will be the name of a famous scientist and the domain is ulb.ac.be. Other relevant addresses are:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"<br />
|-<br />
! Description<br />
! IP address<br />
|- <br />

|-<br />
|<br />
DNS1<br />
|<br />
164.15.59.200<br />
|}<br />
<br />
You might also need to add the following data, althoug many systems set it automatically:<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Wi-Fi network configuration ===<br />
At IRIDIA lab there are two wireless networks. To join any of them you should get the password from the system administrator. Relevant configuration data are:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables /etc/init.d/iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
