I have it up and running; however, I am not quite sure how to accomplish configuring it to block an IP range. Assume an IP range: 219.128.0.0 to 219.137.255.255 That is an actual range: CHINANET Guangdong province network I want to block the entire range. I am not sure how to do it in IPFW. I have read the 'man' pages; however, I am not getting the syntax correct since I cannot get the range added. CIDR ranges have to: (a) start on a 'power of 2' address, (b) be a 'power of two' in size, and (c) be no larger than the 'power of 2' factor for the starting address. This range is _not_ that way [fails (b)], so you'll have to do it with multiple entries. i.e., one for 219.128.0.0/13 which will catch 219.128.0.0 - 219.135.255.255 and a 2nd for 219.136.0.0/15 which will catch 219.136.0.0 - 219.137.255.255 Life can get messier, when rule 3 comes into play, consider the block 219.130.0.0 to 219.139.255.255 219.130.0.0 is on a /15 boundary, so that's the max block size you can use for tht starting address. 219.130.0.0/15 catches 219.130.0.0 - 219.131.255.255 next, you can start with 219.132.0.0, which is a /14, and block a /14 wth 219.132.0.0/14 catches 219.132.0.0 - 219.135.255.255 now, 219.136.0.0 is a /13 so you could block that big with just more rule, if needed, (BUT, you only need another /14, to cover the remainder of the group of 10 /16s that the initial block includes. thus, lastly: 219.136.0.0/14 catches 219.136.0.0 - 219.139.255.255 Thanks! It was suggested that I try 'ipcalc' by another poster. I did, and it works excellently. In any case, I do have to familiarize myself more fully with IP addressing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I have read the 'man' pages; however, I am not getting the syntax correct since I cannot get the range added. Carmel, Have you tried something like what's mentioned in this excerpt quoted below?: Network-based filtering works similarly, and the network notation there utilizes either bitmasks or netmasks, for instance: add 2000 allow all from 192.168.0.0/16 to any add 2100 deny all from any to 10.0.0.0:255.0.0.0 The first rule allows all traffic from the network whose IP range is 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255. It uses a bitmask to indicate this. A bitmask specifies how many bits from the network address (192.168.0.0) should remain the same for matching packets. In this instance, the first 16 bits out of the 32 bit address will remain the same, and as the first 16 bits happen to be the first two octets, 192.168, all addresses whose source addresses have the first two octets as 192.168 will be matched by this rule. The second rule accomplishes a similar thing using netmasks. The netmask indicate how many bits from the indicated network address should be used for rule matching. In the above example, for rule two, the netmask is 255.0.0.0. Its first octet is set with high bits; in other words, the first 8 bits are set high. This indicates to ipfw(8) that only packets with the first 8 bits of the network address (10.0.0.0) should be matched. As the first 8 bits of the network address equal 10, then all packets whose destination address have a 10 for the first octet (all addresses between 10.0.0.0 and 10.255.255.255) will be matched by this rule, and then dropped, as indicated by the action. (This excerpt from http://www.freebsd-howto.com/HOWTO/Ipfw-HOWTO) Thanks Maciej Suszko and Ashley. I used the ipcalc tool. I thought I had seen something like that before; however, I was not able to recall the name of the utility.

IPFW and Fail2Ban
I am having an exceedingly hard time finding documentation on Fail2Ban on FreeBSD. In fact, documentation on Fail2Ban seems rather sparse to begin with. In any case, does Fail2Ban work with the IPFW firewall on FreeBSD? Does it do it natively, or does it require a special configuration? I presently have 'denyhost' up and running. If I get Fail2Ban working correctly, I assume I can remove 'denyhost'.

FYI, syncronizing files between FreeBSD and other UNIX-like systems is quite easy with rsync [http://www.samba.org/rsync/]. This is also quite easy to automate (e.g. running rsync from cron).

gmplayer cannot show video in xfce4
When I start mplayer (gmplayer) from within xfce4 and attempt to play a video, I receive an error message. The audio portion works fine however. The screen-shot of the error message is viewable here: http://imagebin.ca/view/OdMEXlY.html What is strange is that the video was working until I modified the PolicyKit.conf file. This is the modification I added. I substituted 'me' for the actual users name. match action=org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable match user=me return result=yes/ /match /match match action=org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed match user=me return result=yes/ /match /match match user=me return result=yes/ /match If I remove the modifications, I cannot mount a CD. Is there something else I should be or not be doing here? -- Carmel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I am using the 'nv' driver. Using mplayer from the console does not produce an error. Of course, all I get is the audio track. No error message is displayed. So, if I use hal I lose the ability to view videos? That kind of sucks. Obviously, someone must know about it so I assume submitting a bug report would be a waste of time. -- Carmel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Files in /var/ftp/etc directory.
This is probably a dumb question; however, since I don't know the answer I figured I might as well ask. On a new installation of FreeBSD-7.2, I opted to set up an anonymous FTP server. I just noticed that there are three files in the '/etc' directory. 1) ftpmold 2) group 3) pwd.db I know what the first one is, but what are the other two for? They are visible and down loadable to any visitor who accesses the site. Is this normal or is this something I should be concerned about? Can I just delete the two files I am unsure of? Thanks! -- Carmel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Problem with bash script
I am attempting to write a simple Bash script that will find all the '*.pem' files in a directory structure and move them to another directory. It seems to work until I get to the copy part where it fails. My scripting skills are not that good. Perhaps someone could tell me what I am doing wrong. This is the script: #! /usr/bin/env bash # Save the field separator oIFS=$IFS # Set it to line breaks IFS=$'\n' for i in $(find ./ -name *.pem -print); do # Get the basename BN=$(basename $i) # copy the file to another directory using the base name cp $i /usr/home/tmp/$BN done # Reset the IFS variable IFS=$oIFS exit -- Carmel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I guess the filenames contain spaces. Try cp $i /usr/home/tmp/$BN Bertram I am an idiot. The problem was that the directory did not exist. It was suppose to be $HOME/tmp/$BN. However, I rarely use find and was not aware of the '-exec' function. I use that and it worked fine.
