Aiccu/Gentoo

Introduction

This howto explains how to install and set up Aiccu on Gentoo Linux.

Installing Aiccu

Make sure you have TUN/TAP suppport built into your kernel. Check your .config for

 CONFIG_TUN=y

Gentoo provides an ebuild for Aiccu, so installing it can easily be done by

 sudo emerge aiccu

Configuring

see Aiccu/Installation#Configuration

Starting Aiccu

You can start Aiccu using its init-script:

 sudo /etc/init.d/aiccu start

You probably want to start Aiccu automatically:

 sudo rc-update add aiccu default

IPv6 Routing

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/forwarding
or
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding=1

Activate permanently

#echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf 
#echo "net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf 

('all' sets it for all current interfaces, 'default' set the default for new interfaces)
