The main advantage of hamachi is, that in runs behind NAT. So if you don't have public ip address it is the only solution for you. However it is true that its code is closed. I've made some progress with the "strip" error mentioned above. I've also added tun module that is necessary according to OPEN VPN howto on this pages. I've also successfully compiled hamachi's dependency tuncfg. So the only thing now is to ask hamachi to provide either source code or hamachi binary compiled for ARM926TEJ
1. add and insprobe tun module to your mybook .. see howto openvpn
mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/net
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/openvpn/tun.ko -O /lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/net/tun.ko
echo /lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/drivers/net/tun.ko:>>/lib/modules/2.6.17.14/modules.dep
modprobe tun
2. install binutils (contains strip) and gcc to be able to compile tuncfg from source code (tuncfg is open source and its source code is provided by hamachi together with binary)
ipkg install openssl binutils gcc -force-overwrite
3. get hamachi, unpack, patch and install. By patch I mean to replace binary 'hamachi' in unpacked directory by the right one.
wget http://files.hamachi.cc/linux/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz
tar -zxvf hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz
cd hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx/tuncfg
gcc tuncfg.c -o tuncfg
cd ..
#patch before run this
make install
4. continue configuring hamachi http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135036
#Create the 'hamachi' group
sudo groupadd hamachi
#Add your user to the group
sudo gpasswd -a user hamachi
#Add root to the group
sudo gpasswd -a root hamachi
#Set socket permissions
sudo chmod 760 /var/run/tuncfg.sock
#Finally, changing the group of the file
sudo chgrp hamachi /var/run/tuncfg.sock
#base configuration
sudo hamachi-init -c /etc/hamachi
#start hamachi
sudo hamachi -c /etc/hamachi start
#set your unique nick
sudo hamachi -c /etc/hamachi set-nick "YourNickHere"
5. login, join, create …
#Login to Hamachi
sudo hamachi -c /etc/hamachi login
#To join an existing network
sudo hamachi -c /etc/hamachi join network password
#Or to create a new network
sudo hamachi -c /etc/hamachi create network password
#Lastly, to go online to the network you joined
sudo hamachi -c /etc/hamachi go-online network
6. startup script:
touch /etc/init.d/S78hamachi
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/hamachi
nano /etc/init.d/S78hamachi
paste:
#!/bin/sh
hamachi_start() {
echo "Starting hamachi..."
/sbin/tuncfg
/usr/bin/hamachi -c /etc/hamachi start
/bin/chmod 760 /var/run/tuncfg.sock
/bin/chgrp hamachi /var/run/tuncfg.sock
}
hamachi_stop() {
echo "Stopping hamachi..."
killall tuncfg
/usr/bin/hamachi -c /etc/hamachi stop
}
hamachi_restart() {
hamachi_stop
sleep 1
hamachi_start
}
case "$1" in
'start')
hamachi_start
;;
'stop')
hamachi_stop
;;
'restart')
hamachi_restart
;;
*)
hamachi_start
esac
