Jsa13,

Thanks for the review! I had to make some tough decisions about what to include with Nediva.

1. VMware tools - I have tested these and they are a great addition. However, I have discovered that networking would break when the Linux kernel was upgraded. Since this is a network-based application, I felt that it was more important to have stable networking. That is why I decided not to install VMware tools.

2. SSH - This is a basic administration tool, but I didn't want to open the system to exploitation, since the default username and password are public information. It was easy enough to install SSH, right? (Make sure you change the default password.)

3. GUI - Yes, gdm takes resources but I wanted to make it easy to administer the box. Most users will not know the commands to change the IP, DNS, and default gateway. Plus, I wanted to showcase the beautiful Ubuntu desktop!

Let me know if you run into any other issues, or if I can answer any questions.

Thanks,

Tristan Rhodes

we are trying to install the Vmtools... but need super User access. Am i missing this password? Haven't seen it in the docs?

Thx

weird... we are trying to install with this one.. but are getting error message saying it needs super-user access... can't get it to work with this username/pass

Thx this solved our problem

Hi,

Also, does it pickup Pix firewall interface statistics? All I see is a greyed out graphic with no information. I also wanted to say thanks for building a great application that's easy to deploy and use.

Thanks,
David

David,

I am glad to hear that NeDiVA is working well for you. We have realized that it would be VERY hard to go back to managing networks without NeDi!

Unfortunately, NeDi doesn't support Pix devices because they are so different from IOS. Keep an eye of future versions, where PIX support might be added.

Tristan

Can anyone provide a different torrent (As the VMWare Nediva torrent isn't working) or a direct download for this appliance please.

Thanks

D.
