Re: How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??
Hi, Ok here's our problems. Mostly pertaining to tracking down who is this user eating up our bandwidth or who is this user flooding our network. 1. Users when they want to plug a machine to the network... let's say their own testbeds, they will choose whatever ip they want possibly stealing used ip's. 2. Users workstations are mixed Windows and *nixes. Most windows machines are getting infected with worm from time to time... Some of them are not so skillful enough to clean their own workstations. Given an unmanaged ip allocation, it would also be hard to trace which machines are causing the network congestion. 3. Some users with public workstations and testbeds are eating up bandwidth through file sharing...Still hard to trace this without proper ip allocation management. Erik Nørgaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I once set up such a solution in a student house with about 120 users. People had their own private pcs so we couldn't just take away their admin rights on their own pc. Now, question to ask: - Are all users legitimate users? Do users have friends coming in and connect to the network? is it wired or do you have neighbors trying to use the net also? - What is the benefit of stealing another users ip? Do you have limitations on access such as download? Is it to hide behind another user? In our case we had a wired network, so all users was legitimate users, but we had a limitation on download so some users would try to use their neighbors ip to get more quota. What we did was: 1) Static ip assigned with dhcp - people wouldn't need to learn to configure their computer. 2) Static arp table on router, to spoof, one would have to spoof mac-address. 3) Require registration of all hosts owned by the user: To hold users accountable for their hosts. 4) Count traffic per host, up and download, this was done with ipfilter. 5) Make current usage visible, the users could always check their quota and knew when they hit the limit. That way they didn't get surprises and annoyed. This actually worked fine. It was sufficiently complicated to spoof that people wouldn't bother. A different and possibly better way around this would be to limit bandwidth for ports higher than 1023, this is where most file sharing takes place. You can do that with packet filter, I still haven't figured how to effectively implement traffic quotas on packet filter as accounting is not so easy. If your concerns are people trying to hide behind others identity, or unauthorized access such as if you have a wireless lan, then there are two good options: 1) Use authpf with packet filter. This requires the user to authenticate with the firewall to get access. No proxy needed. 2) Let each client establish a VPN to the router, this have the advantage of also encrypting traffic if you have a wireless or non-switched network.

Re: How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??
1. Users when they want to plug a machine to the network... let's 1. say their own testbeds, they will choose whatever ip they want 1. possibly stealing used ip's. Use DHCP, then users do not have to choose an IP, it is given to them. Plus it gives them all parameterstheyneed to configure their machineto acces the network (like netmask, gateway, DNS...) DHCP keeps logs of what IP wasassigne to what machine (for Windows you have the windows name of the machine) so you can track what is what down. If you are dealing with users that have little knowledge and not with hackers (and it seems to be your case) DHCPo will solve 90% of your problems.

If the problem is that users choose occupied ips by accident rather than by bad will, then use dhcp. Windows users and novices will thank you for not having to deal with the configuration and you can say just plug it in and it works. If you want to make people aware of what it means to be on the network, register their hosts with mac address and have them sign a paper with your AUP. Track changes with arpwatch. Assign a segment of your address space to testbeds, tell people who want to experiment that they choose an ip in that segment. That segment should be blocked or only have access to limited services such as dns, ftp and http. Block all access to port 25 on internet to make sure that mail is sent through your mailserver. Require authentication for smtp. This means that at least you won't spread the viruses that infect the windows clients.

RE: USR 56k Internal WinModem
Internal modems are manufactured for two target markets, MS/Windows and every thing else. Winmodems are cheep because the hardware controller function is handled by the software you have to install into windows. This hardware controller function is contained in a chip on the modem circuit board. Winmodems are missing this chip and have a replacement chip that directs the modem to use driver software running in the windows system to perform the controller function. The most common replacement chip is manufactured by Lucent. There are many versions of this Lucent chip each version needing a different software driver version. Up until version 4.4, FBSD did not have any solution to using Winmodems, but with the release of 4.4 the ports collection contains the Linux Winmodem 'ltmdm' driver which was ported to FBSD. This port is very poorly documented, only works with a limited number of Lucent chip version, and is unreliable. Your whole internet connection is managed by your modem and trying to shoe horn a modem specially manufactured for the MS/Windows operating system into FBSD is not the way to achieve a satisfactory dialup connection. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dmitry Pisklov Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 5:59 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: USR 56k Internal WinModem How can I set up (if I can do it at all :)) my US Robotics winmodem?

FreeBSD 6.1/AMD64: Celestia 1.3.2/1.4.1 not working?
Hello. Compiling port Celestia 1.3.2 on FreeBSD 6.1-PRE/i386 works fine, but while compiling works on FreeBSD 6.1-PRE/AMD64, starting application results in segmentation fault: Signal 11.

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation.

Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book.

Shell scripting question
I'm thinking about writing an rc.subr script that sucks in variables from a
conf file. Since the rc.firewall script does just that, I thought I'd take
a look at it. But I can't understand what it's doing.
Here's the code:
# Suck in the configuration variables.
if [ -z ${source_rc_confs_defined} ]; then
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
source_rc_confs
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/rc.conf
fi
fi
Neither rc.conf nor source_rc_confs appears anywhere else in the script, so
how does this suck in the variables? And what does the syntax .
/etc/rc.conf do?
Here's what I understand so far. If the variable source_rc_confs_defined
is a zero length string, then if /etc/defaults/rc.conf is readable, then do
something with it. I have no idea what the next line source_rc_confs
does. Else, if /etc/rc.conf is readable, then do something with that.
Can someone explain what all this does please?

Hi there, I am trying to figure out the proper options and configuration syntax for the portmanager configuration file - pm-020.conf . I cant figure out what the proper stunnel switches to automatically keep the stunnel GID and UID. At hte moment stunnel requires manual intervention during each upgrade. I just want to keep the UID and GID as is and not delete them.

Vanishing libraries - libgmodule-2.0.so.600
I have been using portupgrade with a new tree, initially portupgrade -Pa of which not all succeeded the first time round, largely because although necessary packages were present, necessary libraries had gone missing. This last time, after lengthy recompiling to get gnucash working, konqueror began reporting kio-slave i:o errors. I reinstalled kdelibs3 and its dependencies. It works again, but there is a marked loss of performance. Now kalarm reports missing libraries. A poster referred me to the /usr/ports/UPDATING notice on libtool, which I read with dismay. It indicates that automatic updaters should be used carefully. I only know what I have read in the Handbook and in the man page, and so can't yet aspire to this careful standard. I can't find agreement on a fix in the archives.

There is a thread about this here: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-November/104464.html indicating that the problem is an improper port upgrade, in that ports relying on glib had not been updated.

Pix OS supports this only from version 7 and pix 501 and pix 506 cannot upgrade yet to this version (not sure if they will ever be able to) A transparent firewall like this just sits beside your switch and your computer and the only layer 2 traffic that can pass through is arp.

filling up UDP socket buffers like mad
Hi, Running FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE as a DNS, dhcp, and syslog server. I'm having trouble with DNS, DHCP, and syslogd locking up, and I think I've found what they all share in common. During the lockups, the box starts dropping UDP due to full socket buffers. I have a dumb little script to capture the rate of drops over 5 seconds, and it's about 45 a second. 168725 dropped due to full socket buffers 168958 dropped due to full socket buffers Right now, named and syslogd are in cron to restart every 15 minutes. Once they restart, everything works fine. Immediately after the reload, the UDP drops cease. The script reveals no change in the number of drops... for a few minutes. I've turned kern.ipc.maxsockbuf to increase the number of UDP buffers, which Google tells me is correct. Mind you, I'd previously tuned it to 8388608. I've now doubled that again, to 16777216. I really don't want to just keep doubling this resource when something happens. The best thing to do here is to identify what's using all these sockets, but I'm stumped on how to do that. My bowels tell me it's syslogd, because that's the program that is most resistant to restarting, but that's a pretty crappy reason. Any thoughts? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

Can you find any mention of cron in your logs (esp /var/run/dmesg/boot)? Does it get mentioned in the boot process (watch the screen)... cron should be started by init(8) as part of the rc(8) process (the last of the boot stage, prior to going multi-user). 2. Just out of curiousity and a desire to help, what's the path to the configuration file above? :) 3. Reasoning: It appears that you have modified /etc/crontab. In BSD-land, you usually want to use the root crontab (which is under /var/cron/tabs/root) or your personal account crontab (/var/cron/tabs/username) to do cron work. However, you don't want to edit this file directly. Make sure $EDITOR is set to your favorite text editor and run crontab -e to set up your crontab. Exit the editor, and crontab(1) will put the file in place for you. Incidentally, this may be the cause of your problem entirely. (See the FAQ, 10.3, 'Why do I get messages like root: not found after editing my crontab file?'). 4. I'm sure you're aware of cron's limited $PATH and other limitations. Make sure your scripts are executable and shebanged, or else call them with the appropriate shell interpreter's full pathname, e.g. (/bin/sh ~/scripts/mybackup.sh).

The patch has only been implemented in current, though, as far as I understand. My question is simple; Is this going to be put in stable? I'm less skilled at coding, but it looks to me as if this new option wouldn't possibly break anything in use today. Is there any way/-where we can say pleease, and get this patch put in stable too?

So I decided to just overwrite the old expat2 install not thinking (yes, I know, not good...) that it would affect much. It really hasn't but now I have apache 2.0.54 complaining that I no longer have shared object support since apache was compiled with the older version of expat2 (1.95_8 or something like that). In the process of all this, my ports index got corrupted and now I can't make index in /usr/ports. I also now have an expat install that is further along than the portsdb thinks it is. I get the following when I try to make index in /usr/ports: == [EMAIL PROTECTED]: make index Generating INDEX-5 - please wait../libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libexpat.so.5 not found, required by httpd apxs:Error: Sorry, no shared object support for Apache. apxs:Error: available under your platform.

My first try was to use portdowngrade to install an older expat2, but without INDEX-5, it can't find it (at least I think that's why). CVS to get the older expat2? (Any pointers, please help...) Anybody successfully running apache22 and apache2 alongside each other on 5.4-STABLE? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Read the handbook for more help. Kris That did it! The nullfs module was not being loaded into the kernel. I added it to loader.conf.local and it works now. This is definitely a change from 6.0 to 6.1-prerelease. I don't think so. Modules are all installed by default. Kris Then something is broken. The module file is present in /boot/kernel. However it does *not* get loaded unless I put it in loader.conf.local. As mentioned previously, I am using the generic kernel. I followed the standard upgrade procedure when going from 6.0 to 6.1. What is logged on the console when you try to mount_nullfs before loading the nullfs.ko module (it should be loaded automatically)? Kris pgplhFmaDnMSk.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think it's generally expected that you reply to their help with

Thanks so much!! I don't know, however, whether thank you's should be
privately or to the list. I usually say my thanks on the list. I guess I
feel that public help should receive public praise.

Patrick, if a person replies to the help that worked with a (SOLVED)
header addition the solution is archived. It is in a relatively easy
to find form. So it benefits all.
(And a sysadmin who expects thanks is a fool. A sysadmin who does not
appreciate thanks or objects to another getting a thank you message, is
not a fit human being to live. And indeed he is not living a full life.
He's in a half life of grouch, which will lead to an early grave.)
Note that Thank you is about all the pay anybody here gets for offering
solutions. Those two words feed the soul. Accept the food and cherish it.

Re: mount_ntfs(8) and filesize ... 2GB limit?

Where can I send $beverage? For the archives: 1. Install port mentioned above. 2. ntfscat -fv /dev/ad3s2 important.bkf /usr/recovered.bkf 3. restore as per Windows SOP. So, ntfscat is able to handle large file operations (2GB) in FreeBSD, operations that seem to fail with mount_ntfs and standard 'Nix tools (cat, cp, cpio, tar, dd, etc). Important: I've not yet verified that the disk is still readable by Windows, but since the data's off, I'm not sure I care, and Windows wasn't seeing it properly anyway. A reformat should do the trick. YMMV.

So slowly that I've been sitting here watching a terminal with gnucash --debug (which is how I hope how it is phrased) do absolutely nothing for the past few minutes. Eventually the loading panel comes up and the modules load very slowly.

Re: mdmfs -P
Leo R. Lundgren wrote: Hey all, Some days ago I posted on the stable mailinglist, but haven't gotten a response, so I'm trying my luck here instead. Looking at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/mdmfs/mdmfs.c.diff?r1=1.25r2=1.26 , I see that we've finally gotten a -P option to mdmfs, enabling use of mdmfs with a persistent vnode-backed file[system]. The patch has only been implemented in current, though, as far as I understand. My question is simple; Is this going to be put in stable? I'm less skilled at coding, but it looks to me as if this new option wouldn't possibly break anything in use today. Is there any way/-where we can say pleease, and get this patch put in stable too? I'm sure I'm not the only one with a great need for it. I really hope it's possible :) Please send replies directly to my address since I'm not subscribed to this one of the lists.
