MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, Feb 3, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- /bin Diving Duo
by Gilbert Detillieux 26 Jan '26

26 Jan '26

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, February 3rd, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... /bin Diving Duo Wyatt Zacharias will dive into the /bin a couple times, and see what interesting nuggets can be found, studied, and explained this time. Wyatt may also do a more traditional RTFM-style presentation on a specific (and predetermined) command, such as cowsay. Come for the fun of it, stay for the group participation and shared learning opportunity! Where to find the Meeting: **NOTE NEW LOCATION** Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club, 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor WSC is located at 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor, a block South from the St. Mary's / St. Anne's fork, on the West side beside the Miller's Meats. It's in the old fire hall, so you really can't miss it! Look for the red door. There are a limited number of parking spaces for WSC around the building. If you arrive early you'll probably snag one. If not, there is parking available on the nearby streets, such as Mager Dr, or the streets off of St. Mary's such as Blenheim or Clonard Ave. Be careful not to park in nearby private parking lots unless otherwise indicated. There is no elevator, so attendees will have to be able to climb a flight of stairs. Apologies to anyone requiring accessibility. *Please Remove Your Footwear!* To keep the carpets clean and dry, please remove your outdoor footwear at the top of the stairs. Feel free to bring a pair of indoor shoes, sandals, or Crocs to use indoors. *Entry Log Book:* To support WSC operations, we ask all guests to sign the log book provided by WSC as you enter the meeting space. Online Meeting Option: For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.) The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.

strongswan
by Trevor Cordes 08 Jan '26

A quick note, for anyone running strongswan (an ipsec ike2 vpn): switch over to the new conf file format and daemon system sooner rather than later. If you are upgrading to a newer distro (F42 for me), the old strongswan system just doesn't work propely. It'll rekey improperly and just drop SAs (connections) in H2H/N2N scenarios. Nothing you can do will fix this. Switch to the new format and everything just works. Unfortunately, translating between the old & new conf formats isn't the easiest thing (even with the automated python conversion script) as there isn't a 1-to-1 mapping of options. Hint: you'll probably need 2 children for a roadwarrior connection... if you know, you know.
