I compiled and install plugin no problem.
When I ran #olsrd, I got error as following:
===============================
Parsing file: "/etc/olsrd.conf"
Config line 169: syntax error
Using default config values(no configfile)
No interfaces configured!
Bad configuration!
OLSR EXIT: main
Terminated
===============================

my losrd.conf look like:
===============================
167: LoadPlugin "olsrd_dot_draw.so.0.3"
168:
169: LoadPlugin "olsrd_secure.so.0.5"
170: {
171:     PlParam     "Keyfile"  
172:"/root/.olsr/olsrd_secure_key"
173: }
===============================

If I took the line 167 out from olsrd.conf, my secure
pluging ran OK.

Any one know how to fix it?

Thanks

James

As I can recall from the many conversations about mesh dynamics, and the 
lack of support for the GPL from them, they use 3 radios.  1 is to 
determine channel allocation for the other 2.

The have developed real time kernel extensions for the wireless drivers 
to allow this functionality, and this is the reason people are 
complaining about the GPL.  According to GPL they should release this stuff.

Add

after the dot_draw load directive.

Thanks for help.

I have some questions in secure plugin.

By default, does it use /usr/include/openssl/sha.h for
the encryption of digital signature?
If sha.h is not found, then it will use
/usr/include/md5. Am I right?

If I want to use md5 instead of sha, do I just rename
the sha.h to sha.h.bak? So it will use md5?

Is it possible to use other algorithms, e.g. RIPEMD160
and SHA256 by modifying the source code?

Thanks again.

James

the plugin uses MD5 bu default. To use OpenSSL SHA-1
you must do:
make USE_OPENSSL=1

It does not support any other algorithms then SHA-1 and MD5.

Yes, we routinely run this config on a board with 2
radios.  Check out

I compiled the source as follows:
---------------------------
make USE_OPENSSL=1 OS=linux
make install USE_OPENSSL=1 OS=linux
---------------------------

The installation was OK, but when I ran the olsrd, I
got following error:
---------------------------
Library: olsrd_secure.so.0.5
DL loading failed: "/usr/lib/olsrd_secure.so.0.5:
undefined symbol: MD5Final"!
-- PLUGIN LOADING FAILED! --
---------------------------

It seems that the problem happened at Line 76 of
../secure/src/olsrd_secure.c

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much.

Do you use omni-directionnal antennas or directional?

Does B and D see each other in *both* channels?

We tried the config in a small space using omni
antennas(since we only have those lying around) to see
if OSLR can handle the particulary scenario and test
performance. So yes B and D do see each other in both
channels, along with 3 or 4 other APs around the
neighborhood so I would imagine directional antennas
would be better suited.  (Now if only I can get my
hands on those.)  Please post back your results and
findings if you do go ahead with it.

The nice thing is since everything is redundant, if
one path gets too noisy(from all the other AP radios)
or goes down, OSLR switches to the other path within a
few seconds so our http downloads actually do not get
terminated. I imagine we will probably try >2 radios
per node once we can scrounge up more cards. 

Hopes this helps
dennis
