Some of these 'helpers' may also require you to learn some additional scripting format other than the conventional iptables. I don't think that 'kludges' is the right word for it. When hand-coding iptables scripts, it makes sense to create custom chains to organize your iptables script somewhat. Shorewall (and the others although I'm not familiar with their direct interactions with iptables) does this as well. The difficulty is that shorewall is capable of handling so many different configurations. The various custom chains that it creates are targeted towards someone that's using all of the various parts of shorewall; when you scale back to a limited setup with a small set of logical rules, shorewall still handles it easily but constructs all of the custom chains and interlinkings that would be used in a more complex setup. Which is why the iptables-save output I posted is a heck of a lot bigger than what my logical set of rules contains. I guess that's similar to using some HTML WYSIWYG instead of hand coding it yourself. That's a very good analogy, and more apropos to the actual output of shorewall et. al. Although the output of the tool is functionaly similar to what you would do by hand, it is typically more complicated and not close to what you would have done hand-coding it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] iptables example on Gentoo
Dude, trying to use iptables directly was your first mistake. no, it wasn't. I have written some small example script http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=377447 that (IMO) is quite modular... Yes, Timo, it is quite modular and quite thorough. It represents a great job at developing a general set of rules. But I would raise the following issues: 1. FTP support: You've allowed for the active ftp protocols on ports 20 21, but what about passive? This traffic will usually be on the higher ports (typically a range specified in the configuration for the ftp daemon). I do believe that if the ftp daemon tries to open a passive connection outbound it's going to get knocked off at the knees. 2. Measure the checks: The more checks that a packet goes through, the longer it will take to travel through the iptables stack. Your script has a lot of checks in it. Consider a pgp packet as it traverses all of the chains etc. that you've specified. You're probably looking at 30+ checks at least (although I haven't counted each individual check, but I'm confident it is quite a large number). That's a significant number of hops and means the packet is going to be hanging around on the box a lot longer than what it really should. 3. No detail on why the checks are ordered in the way they are (is there an order?): As #2 indicates, the increased number of checks that a packet needs to be pushed through means it will hang around on the box longer. Therefore they should be ordered to give priority to either a) heavily used ports or b) ports you want to have processed sooner rather than later. 4. No reason for accepting specific outbound traffic: I tend to prefer allowing all outbound traffic and filter on those ports that shouldn't be going outbound (i.e. dhcp responses, dns responses, ipp packets, windows networking stuff, known trojan/virus ports). It greatly reduces the number of checks outbound traffic needs to go through. Obviously to improve the throughput you'd have to alter the script to use multiple ports on accept lines. Once you start doing that, though, you lose the modularity that you've built into the script. The point that needs to be made is that there is no 'one iptables script fits all'. Each site, each box for that matter, has it's own set of services and it's own usage criteria. To that end the iptables rules will (should) always vary from box to box, whether it is a server, a desktop, a gateway, or some combination of the three. New users looking to get their boxen online grab scripts like this thinking they are going to secure it for them, yet they don't understand the nuances of the individual rules nor how they are grouped. How many folks that grab the script are going to know what the teamspeak or pgp ports are for and whether they need them or not? How many are going to know that they've exposed their system to incoming teamspeak packets, whether they have teamspeak or not? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

OK, but under the ADSL connection scenario (diagram A) I already have a hardware router/gateway, so do I still need a two card configuration? What I am trying to do is protect the Gentoo box from other boxes in the LAN (behind the Netgear router), or when connected to the Internet via dialup then protect it from other internet machines. Depends. Personnally I had little love for my netgear router when it was in place. I had a couple of issues: 1. Although my gentoo box allowed for externally-generated syslog entries, the netgear router (even though the gui suggested it would) would not forward syslog messages to my gentoo box, so I missed out on things like knowing who was hitting the router. I think that things have improved a lot since you last used netgear. The DG384 is now on version 2.10.22 of their embedded image firmware, which offers a lot more functionality than just a couple of years ago. It now offers VPN with Ipsec connectivity. Also, it can broadcast the logs on the LAN, or you can set a specific IP address to FWD them to. You can of course still use the http gui to see the logs, save them manually or have them emailed to you regularly, or when a warning/alarm is triggered. 2. Could not find an easy way to extract the external IP address from the darn thing. My domain name is managed via dyndns.org, and I only wanted to trigger an update when an actual ip address change occurred. It was either that or tickle the dyndns.org system every few minutes so it would update IP address from the incoming connnection. I've got a fixed IP address so I didn't need this feature, but 'tickling' the dyndns.org is the default method (don't think that you can set the interval). It works like a client which logs on to the dyndns server and updates the IP address - not sure if it's more intelligent than just doing that every few minutes). 3. Performance, over time, would drop down to a trickle. The only way to get it back up was to reboot the router. And since I didn't want to expose the admin interface to the world, that meant that I would have to wait till I was on-site to reboot it. Aahh, that's not on! I haven't noticed any such problem with mine. Are you sure it wasn't an ISP throttling, or contention ratio issue? Access to netgear's remote web interface can be restricted to a particular IP address/port number and you can also remotely reboot the rooter. 4. DNS DHCP - It still isn't clear to me how their DNS is set up; although it will act as the gateway for internal systems, I couldn't tell if it was using a caching DNS service or was just passing DNS queries up the stream for processing. DHCP gets managed by the router, so you have little control beyond designating the range to use for dynamic address assignments. I understand that it can obtain an IP address, subnet mask, DNS server addresses, and a gateway address if the ISP provides this information by DHCP. To act as a DHCP server for the LAN it has to keep its own routing tables, but I am not sure what it does with regards to DNS. I believe that it keeps stuff in the local cache but don't know the size of the cache. On the other hand it might just be passing all DNS queries to the ISP's DNS servers? 5. No DMZ support - everything plugged into the netgear box is 'exposed'. In my current gentoo gateway, I can and do severely limit traffic on the intranet side while being a little less controlling on the DMZ side. Should a penentration of the DMZ occur, I know that the line of demarcation between the DMZ and the intranet should protect my sensitive information. As I understand it, now you get the full DMZ facility for a complete box/IP address. 6. No ssh access, no ability to programmatically get information from the router, and other minor complaints. Yes, unfortunately there's no raw engine room access, just the http gui, but for a simple network setup it should be OK. In any case I ended up dumping netgear and running with a Sangoma ADSL card. All the benefits of using ADSL whilst including all the access and administration my gentoo box allows. That's for sure a more flexible self-determining approach, especially if you have a complex network configuration. Q1. If I connect my Gentoo box on its own (stand alone) via a dialup modem to the internet what's my internal iface and what is the external? Q2. Can I run public services http/ftp/mail on the Gentoo box and in parallel continue using it as a desktop (simultaneously)? How do I set this up?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: iptables advice for stand alone box under different usage scenarios
3. Performance, over time, would drop down to a trickle. The only way to get it back up was to reboot the router. And since I didn't want to expose the admin interface to the world, that meant that I would have to wait till I was on-site to reboot it. Aahh, that's not on! I haven't noticed any such problem with mine. Are you sure it wasn't an ISP throttling, or contention ratio issue? Well, it would be solved by a router reboot, so I don't think that it could be throttling or contention from the ISP side. I have noticed that there are times when, due to VCI/VPI errors on the ADSL line that sometimes retraining results in a significantly lower download/upload rate. When this happens I end up manually stopping/starting the ADSL card and that typically brings the throughput rate back up to where it should be. If I'm remote I just trigger a script that manages it for me (since the connection goes down in the process) and reconnect after the box reconnects itself. Access to netgear's remote web interface can be restricted to a particular IP address/port number and you can also remotely reboot the rooter. This works if you have a known address that you're going to be coming from. But if you need to recycle the router and all you have access to is the hotspot at Starbucks, you're kinda limited (for good reasons ;-) I understand that it can obtain an IP address, subnet mask, DNS server addresses, and a gateway address if the ISP provides this information by DHCP. To act as a DHCP server for the LAN it has to keep its own routing tables, but I am not sure what it does with regards to DNS. I believe that it keeps stuff in the local cache but don't know the size of the cache. On the other hand it might just be passing all DNS queries to the ISP's DNS servers? Ah, but my gentoo server uses a caching dns scheme, as well as providing naming services for boxen inside the network, both of which are not possible with the netgear box. 5. No DMZ support - everything plugged into the netgear box is 'exposed'. In my current gentoo gateway, I can and do severely limit traffic on the intranet side while being a little less controlling on the DMZ side. Should a penentration of the DMZ occur, I know that the line of demarcation between the DMZ and the intranet should protect my sensitive information. As I understand it, now you get the full DMZ facility for a complete box/IP address. I think you're confusing the 'pass through' setup with a dmz. The pass through thing built into the netgear which they refer to as a DMZ just routes all traffic inbound to a specific box. This is useful in gaming where one wouldn't know or want to find all of the ports necessary to open to get a game to work through a firewall. For network terminology, however, the DMZ is a separate subnet from your primary intranet; each subnet can have multiple boxen residing in it. Most incoming traffic is routed to systems in the DMZ and does not go to the intranet subnet. You can't do this with the netgear without more hardware (i.e. a switch plugged into the dmz port of netgear that routes to different internal systems). 6. No ssh access, no ability to programmatically get information from the router, and other minor complaints. Yes, unfortunately there's no raw engine room access, just the http gui, but for a simple network setup it should be OK. Agreed. For the average home network user I would say they should use a netgear or linksys or something - my setup is not typical and not for newbies ;-) In any case I ended up dumping netgear and running with a Sangoma ADSL card. All the benefits of using ADSL whilst including all the access and administration my gentoo box allows. That's for sure a more flexible self-determining approach, especially if you have a complex network configuration. Well, I don't know if I'd call it complex. One powerful gentoo box running as gateway server, a DMZ with smaller servers hosting internal and external services, and an intranet hosting gentoo windows boxen. 8 to 10 boxen at any given time. Q1. If I connect my Gentoo box on its own (stand alone) via a dialup modem to the internet what's my internal iface and what is the external? That will be your ppp interface, a logical interface that should show up when you do the ifconfig after connecting. The internal interfaces will still be your ethernet cards and lo. Q2. Can I run public services http/ftp/mail on the Gentoo box and in parallel continue using it as a desktop (simultaneously)? How do I set this up? How do I define my ifaces? Sure. Just emerge the services you want to run, configure them, then rc-update add [service] default. That will bring the services up when the system boots.

You need to know the chipset to work effectively with the kernel; and the command (as root) #lscpci will most likely give you the information you need, as follows: lspci :00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8366/A/7 [Apollo KT266/A/333] :00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8366/A/7 [Apollo KT266/A/333 AGP] :00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) :00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

However, if you really *really* need to know the mobo manufacturer and model number for some other reason, I would suggest: 1) looking at your invoice (some computer stores do list the parts they used when building the PC, some don't) 2) looking in the manual you may have received (the 'specifications' area of any manual is supposed to tell you what parts the unit is made of) 3) going to the PC manufacturer's website and seeing if they list the parts used in your model (this could be in service, rather than on the product page).

Running Gentoo o/// Up until the other day you could not gain access to squid from port 3128 except for local host. All the comps are setup to use 8080. Now I did some testing with squid.

Re: [gentoo-user] how can i find out my motherboard?
There certainly is a lot of useful information in this output, but it's not necessarily the information needed (and certainly not all of the information requested by the OP). So how would I, or the OP, use this utility properly to answer the question, What is the make (manufacturer) and model number of my motherboard? Or does it not answer that question fully? The dmidecode utility dumps all of the DMI information available to the BIOS, so it is, in effect, the same thing as checking for the MOBO via the BIOS at system boot. That said, it's important to note that your BIOS knows how to take the DMI information and display it in a format for the display at boot time. So your bios automatically knows it's a shuttle, but the AK32 is used to show the exact MOBO revision. That said, the bios must know to check another DMI value to determine whether it is the AK32A as opposed to a straight AK32 or some other revision.

Which seems to kinda suck, but not dmidecode's fault, obviously. But if you've bought an off-the-rack box with a PCChips mobo (as so many off-the-rack boxes have), I'm not sure that there's going to be another way than 'the hard way' (since cheap mobos gotta get cheap somehow). But hopefully it's just that my mobo is old (before such information became really ubiquitous to be transmitted) and not that it's cheap and corners have been cut (which would then be a concern to the OP).

I tried with CFLAGS= and still nothing. The system has been giving
some trouble, that's why I thought the problem might be with gcc, having
run out of ideas (e.g., to compile lshw I had to remove '-pipe' from
CFLAGS).
I also tried removing /var/tmp/portage/gcc*

I have a Compaq Proliant 3000, w 6 18.2 SCSI disks I am building for a file server for my department. I have installed an IDE HD 40gig to hold the OS so as to reserve all the SCSI space for data. Problem is after installing twice and messing around I find that the firmware in teh 3000's was not designed to support IDE HD's. I can install to it, I assume it is that it just won't boot to it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Proliant 3000
Most likely you need to get hold of a copy of the Comaq SmartStart CDs for this machine to set it up to boot from an IDE drive, this will also contain the Compaq Array Controller software which will enable you to set up the 'BIOS' on the smart controller card to tun the array in the way which you want to.

[gentoo-user] gpilot and Kyocera 7135
Hello I currently have a kyocera 7135 and am trying to sync it up with gpilot. Unfortunately im not having any luck. What puzzles me is jpilot works flawlessly. I just set the device which is /dev/tts/USB0 or USB1 whichever and it syncs without a hitch. When adding the gpilot applet to my bar and going through the wizard i set the device and get to the first sync step and it just hangs nothing ever happens. I have turned up the timeout option to 8 and even til still with no luck. Has anyone gotten a kyocera 7135 to work with gpilot or any ideas on what maybe wrong, thanks. -- LostSon http://www.lostsonsvault.org /\ \ \ \__/ \__/ \ \ (oo) (oo) \_\/~~\_/~~\_ _.-~===~-._ (___) \___/ I Want To Believe signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Well, isn't the problem here that the network isn't being requested to
start (until ntp tries to make a connection, which of course attempts to
start it, but then it's too late)?
Look here:
locutus ~ # rc-update show
net.ath0 |
net.eth0 |
net.eth1 |
net.eth2 |
net.lo | boot
net.ppp0 |
net.wlan0 |
net.lo starts at boot, but no other network service is being started at all.
netmount | default
nscd |
ntp-client | default
and then here's ntp-client, which needs the network that isn't started.
On the other hand, here's my setup:
rc-update show
net.eth0 | default
net.lo | boot
Both net.lo and net.eth0 are being started, so by the time we get to
ntp-client | default
it's capable of making a connection to the server.
So I would suggest
rc-update add net.eth0 default
might solve your problem.

Re: [gentoo-user] other packages
I have found an add-in for gimp called GAP (animation). It is a zipped tar file. How can I add this to my gentoo install? Well, if you're referring to the one from www.gimp.org, the zipped tarball is a source distribution, and you would just need to process it as you would a standard source tarball. Forgive me if you knew this, but basically the steps are: 1. extract the tarball contents. 2. run the configure script (./configure from the directory). According to the INSTALL file, it should be able to guess the correct locations to install the gimp plugins, but if you need to specify something directly I'm sure there's an argument for configurer to take care of it. 3. build the thing (make). 4. Switch to root and install (make install). (I'm not sure why it wasn't on portage, but, being fairly new to gentoo, I can't imagine what has to be done to a package to declare it 'portage-able'). Not everything makes it into portage; it's mostly based on how widely-used a package is. If this one is used little, that would explain why it is not in portage. Not that I've done it, but it is possible to build your own ebuild files; there are specific gentoo developer tools to assist in doing this. But I wouldn't go through all of that hassle; just follow the build/install steps as previously listed and you should be golden. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Another thing that hadn't occured to me before is that the dead machine (ATI Radeon 700) and my 6-year-old emergency backup PIII (ATI Rage Pro, actually a Mach64 chip) are both AGP cards, but the Radeon X300 is PCI-Express, so the slots are probably different. Strange, but true. I can get the Radeon 7000 into my 6-year-old Dell's AGP slot, but I can't get the old Rage Pro into the newer dead machine's AGP slot, not that it matters. Oh well, at least my 6-year-old Dell emergency backup has now been upgraded from an 8 megabyte RagePro to a 32 megabyte Radeon 7000. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Oh well, at least my 6-year-old Dell emergency backup has now been upgraded from an 8 megabyte RagePro to a 32 megabyte Radeon 7000. that is because of the different AGP standards (1,2,3.0) which have different voltages (3v,1,5v,0,8v) and different 'identifaction' keys, which prevent inserting a card into a slot, that could damage her with overvoltages and vice versa. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I'm sure this question has probably been asked before. So a pointer to an archive of this list will suffice (I don't know where one is).

I figure this has to be a permissions thing, but I'm kind of at a loss as to where I need to give my user account access (if that is indeed what needs to happen).

[gentoo-user] openLDAP with mysql backend (problems with libmyodbc.so = undefined symbol: lt_dlclose )
hi, I'm trying to setup openLDAP to use mysql as backend with a guid I found here http://www.section6.net/help/openldap.php Well, I did reinstalled openLDAP with unixODBC use flag on and setup /etc/unixODBC/ odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini since this files comes empty. Bellow follow what I setup in these files: (odbcinst.ini) [ODBC Drivers] MySQL = Installed [MySQL] Description=ODBC for MySQL Driver=/usr/lib/libmyodbc3.so (odbc.ini) [ODBC Data Sources] ldap = MySQL LDAP DSN [ldap] Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc3.so Description = OpenLDAP Database Host= localhost ServerType = MySQL Port= 3306 FetchBufferSize = 99 User= ldap_user Password= ldap_pass Database= ldap_db ReadOnly= no Socket = /var/run/mysqd/mysqld.sock [ODBC] InstallDir=/usr/local/lib Well, since I saw that /usr/lib/libmyodbc3.so doesn't exist I've tried to use libodbc.so instead and even libodbcmyS.so. The next step was to test odbc connection with iodbctest but this application hadn't been instaled, so I try to emerge libiodbc and iodbc. Well, installing these 2 packages I got iodbctest, tried to connect: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # iodbctest iODBC Demonstration program This program shows an interactive SQL processor Driver Manager: 03.51.0001.0908 Enter ODBC connect string (? shows list): ? DSN| Description --- ldap | MySQL LDAP DSN but when I try to pass DSN=ldap that's what I get: Enter ODBC connect string (? shows list): DSN=ldap 1: (0), SQLSTATE= Have a nice day. Looking around I've found that libmyodbc3.so is provided by myodbc package which one I've emerged and setup in both odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini like the tutorial says, but now, if I try to run iodbctest that's what I get when I type DSN=ldap: 1: [iODBC][Driver Manager]/usr/lib/libmyodbc3.so: undefined symbol: lt_dlclose (0), SQLSTATE=0 2: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded (0), SQLSTATE=IM003 Since I got this error, I've thinked that may I had to reinstall unixODBC, iodbc, libiodbc but even after reinstall all these packages I still getting the same error. Do somebody knows how to fix that? Is there another way to use mysql as a backend to LDAP? Tks in advice, Claudinei Matos -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
