general cipe questions for the linux platform

["Tom Van Overbeke" <Tvanoverbeke,AT,atos,DOT,be>]

Hi,
?
?
I just found out about the existence of cipe 
(v1.5.4)?and it looks to be just what the doctor ordered.
?
unfortunately, i find the documentation a bit 
lacking with respect to the way a connection is setup, so'ill just post how i 
think it's supposed to be?setup, and if there are any errors, i hope you 
will correct me.
?
(oh yes,i want to connect two linux machines that 
are both behind a dmz.)
?
on my own machine, i compile the product, load the 
cipcb module, and launch the ciped-cb daemon with the appropriate options in 
the 
/etc/cipe/options file.
?
on the other machine, i do exactly the same, and 
when i launch the ciped-cb, it will try to contact the remote server and 
establish a connection. right ?
?
BTW, i had problems compiling cipe on both rh8.0 
and 7.2 platforms.
on rh8.0, depmod had some problems (during the make 
install phase), but i could afterwards insmod the module without problems. 
(althoug the make install phase was stopped at the depmod bit,?and i don't 
know if everything else was installed correctly).
?
on rh7.2, everything installed without a problem, 
but when i launch the ciped-cb daemon, i get the following error in the 
systlog 
file:
?
ciped version mismatch f3d2234c -> 
25bed682
?
i also noticed that on the redhat 7.2 pc, the 
install went fine and created a rsa key in /etc/cipe/identity and 
/etc/cipe/identity.priv. I do not have these files on the redhat 8.0 pc. are 
they required for the proper functioning of cipe ?
?
a lot of questions, i hope someone can help me out 
a bit.
?
?
thanks,
?
?
Tom.
