Hello there a few questions; thanks in advance:-
1. router - which is a 486-PCI board using two 3com 3c905b nics
and a SURFboard SB4100 cable modem. Internal network is 192.168.1.0/24
external net 62.x.x.x provided by DHCP from ISP. All is working fine
but I have an annoying issue with the logs filling up.
There seems to be a dhcp node in the modem itself which is doing some
sort of broadcast which in turn is being denied by the firewall;
entries such as:-
Jul 1 00:44:38 pdrtr kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=2
192.168.100.1:65535 224.0.0.1:65535 L=28 S=0xC0 I=0 F=0x0000 T=1 (#9)
Jul 1 00:47:38 pdrtr kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=2
192.168.100.1:65535 224.0.0.1:65535 L=28 S=0xC0 I=0 F=0x0000 T=1 (#9)
Jul 1 00:50:38 pdrtr kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=2
192.168.100.1:65535 224.0.0.1:65535 L=28 S=0xC0 I=0 F=0x0000 T=1 (#9)
Jul 1 00:53:38 pdrtr kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=2
192.168.100.1:65535 224.0.0.1:65535 L=28 S=0xC0 I=0 F=0x0000 T=1 (#9)
eth0 is my external interface so the firewall is doing its job
by denying them as it is not expecting packets with that sort of
source address on the external interface. (that bit i do understand!)
My options are
a) turn off the dhcp in the modem if anyone knows how to do this or indeed
if it is possible?
b) make an entry in the firewall rules to silently drop this range without
logging it.
I would prefer option a but so far no joy. Option b is where I get stuck.
Can someone give me some pointers
on adding an extra rule to my (default no changes eiger2beta) firewall
script to silently deny these packets?
2. Booting Eigerstein2Beta, /var/log/messages starts off:-
Jun 30 17:23:53 pdrtr syslogd 1.3-3#31: restart.
Jun 30 17:23:53 pdrtr kernel: klogd 1.3-3#31, log source = /proc/kmsg
started.
Jun 30 17:23:53 pdrtr kernel: Cannot find map file.
....
What does this third line refer to please? Is it an error ?
2. Using the TAB key to autocomplete directory and filenames. Is it possible
to enable
this in LRP? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks
Rob Moore
