Hi all, My goal is to set up a Subversion (v1.4, running on Apache 2.2 and available only through SSL) and SSH server, available to the world. I've managed to make it work locally; i.e., # svn list https://localhost/svn/repos/repository_name<https://localhost/svn/repos/repos_name> and # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] work fine. However, I'm having problems accessing these from other hosts.
My machine is connected to the internet. I'm able to SSH to other machines, and use the web. Therefore, I believe the problem is that the machine is discarding packets. However, I can't find any record of the connection attempts in /var/log (grepping for the host name or IP of the other machine gives no results, and even ping doesn't work), and it seems that, according to the FreeBSD handbook chapter 26, there is no firewall installed by default. Why would FreeBSD be dropping packets, without recording it, when there are processes listening on the ports (see below), and no firewall? # netstat -an | grep 22 gives (among other lines): tcp4 0 0 *.22 *.* LISTEN According to tcpdump port 22 , the packets are arriving at my machine. /etc/rc.conf contains the following: hostname=[removed] ifconfig_bge0=dhcp keymap="us.dvorak" linux_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" apache2_enable="YES" network_interfaces=bge0 I haven't changed anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. It contains firewall_enable="NO" , which should be enough to avoid having any firewall. In addition, pf_enable="NO" and ipfilter_enable="NO" are in the defaults, so I'm completely stumped as to what is blocking the traffic. Is FreeBSD by default dropping any incoming connections (it should be, but I can't find mention of it in the firewall chapter)? Any help would be appreciated. -- Victor Engmark _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
