Re: ipfw rules for all interfaces not working ...
On Monday 17 December 2007 19:06:29 Gore Jarold wrote: My main goal is to lock down my ipfw rules so that when I run nmap, all I see is: Interesting ports on 192.168.0.10: Not shown: 1677 closed ports PORTSTATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh MAC Address: 00:12:D8:A2:23:C2 Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 9.791 seconds So that means I will need to explicitly block all ports except for the ones I have real servers running on. That's easy. The problem is, this is a laptop and so sometimes iwi0 exists and sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes xl0 exists and sometimes it doesn't ... and that is why my ipfw rules look like this: 00010 00 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00020 00 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 01000 18134 10505749 allow tcp from any to any established 04000 149884280 allow icmp from any to any 0400127 1728 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 22 setup 04008 00 deny log logamount 100 ip from any to any recv all 65535 15202 2569754 allow ip from any to any See - in rule 04008, I say to deny ip from any to any recv all - so that no matter what interface(s) I have up, and no matter what their addresses are, this one deny rule will apply to them. THe problem is, it doesn't work. As you can see, the counter on that rule is zero, and when I nmap the system I can see things like samba and http, etc., even though the only port I am allowing through is TCP 22. Why is this ? Because there is no all keyword :) ipfw tries to match an interface named all there. Check how these rules match your needs. The first one creates states for connections initiated by your machine to the world allowing related incoming traffic to come back. The second allows all to your TCP port 22. The third denies and logs everything else. ipfw add 1000 allow ip from me to any keep-state ipfw add 2000 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 22 ipfw add 3000 deny log logamount 0 ip from any to any The above ruleset is a minimal example. Modify as needed to limit logamount, allow ICMP etc. HTH, Nikos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Even then I too have to multiboot once in a while. I prefer to avoid multiboot as well, but for a while there it seemed unlikely that I'd be able to do everything on this system that I want to be able to do if all I have is FreeBSD. I've managed to realize that my impression of limitation was, in fact, a failure on my part -- and not on FreeBSD's -- some hours ago, however. As a result, it looks like I'll be able to solve the problem without installing some Linux distro after all. If FFS2 and EXT3 are ruled out, then what is remaining? ;) XFS? Maybe? My impression is that there isn't good UFS support in Linux, and that stable ext3 support is read-only in FreeBSD. If that's the case, then it really does seem to come down to a matter of figuring out whether XFS, JFS, or ReiserFS (to throw out a few examples) have stable read/write support in both Linux and FreeBSD systems. It is a tough choice indeed. Of course you could do a diskless boot off an NFS and use that as file system for communication between the two OSes. But for that you need another machine connected over LAN running NFS of course. Yeah . . . this is a laptop, and I use it while traveling, so that wouldn't really suit my needs in this case. I appreciate the attempt, though. Anyway, as you may have gathered from an above paragraph of mine, it looks like I'm probably not going to need the Linux system after all. Sorry if my answer was irrelevant but this is the best I could do. It would be pretty harsh of me to say your best wasn't good enough.

How to properly use -fprofile-use
Hello the list, I'm using dosbox to run an old game and as for all emulators, the CPU ressources needed are quite high. After playing with dosbox configuration there are almost no slowdowns anymore (yipee). So to remove the last few lag I started to look into gcc flags and in particular profiling which seems just great to optimize speed for one specific port. I deactivated ccache since it mess with the .gcda files creation, and after adding -fprofile-generate to CFLAGS and recompile it runs awfully slowly and a bunch of .gcda and .gcno are created in the work directory. So I believe this part works as it should. The problem is when I later recompile: replace -fprofile-generate by -fprofile-use then make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install clean, the first thing make do is... delete the .gcda (but not the .gcno). Quite annoying isn't it? I then have a lot of warning complaining about xxx.gcda not found. My question is, how should I do to correctly use profiling for a port? In src.conf (I use RELENG_7) I have WITHOUT_PROFILE, does it have any influence?

I don't have one of those handy, but port forwarding is generally under the Advanced tab Linksys routers. It may be called Games or something like that. Forward port 22, ssh, to the internal IP and save the settings. Generally one should have a fixed internal IP for forwarding as DHCP assigned IP addresses may change. once you open port 22 to public ip, you'll get people try to bruteforce your machine. if you don't want that set sshd to listen to a higher number like 5522 then forward port 5522 from the router to the internal machines. unfortunately for wrt54g, you can't forward port 5522 to 22 for internal machine.

Not a thorough check, but my father did turn off the firewall system on that linksys router. I believe he checked some box that basically opened up everything. I'm expecting that it's more likely what someone else said earlier that the ISP may be blocking it. I say this for two reasons: 1) When a connection attempt is made, the error I get is a time out not a refusal to connect. No pun intended but that smells, or should I say sniffs, of a firewall. 2) On a different system that I help build here in Boise, I'm getting the same problem when we set it up at my friends house.

Re: Redirecting output
In the last episode (Dec 18), White Hat said:
I am trying to find out exactly what is the difference between:
{command} 21 /dev/null
and
{command} dev/null 21
(I assume you mean /dev/null 21 )
I have seen both used and have not been able to decipher what the
difference is. It would seem that the first one would be the one that
is correct.
If you want to redirect both stderr and stdout to /dev/null, the 2nd is
correct. Your first command does this:
assign fd 2 to whatever fd 1 is pointing to
assign fd 1 to /dev/null
That leaves stderr going to wherever stdout usually goes (i.e. your
tty), and stdout going to /dev/null. That might actually be what you
want, depending on the program you're running.
Your second command does this:
assign fd 1 to /dev/null
assign fd 2 to whatever fd 1 is pointing to
I ran this test script with different redirections to verify what was
going on:
#! /bin/sh
echo I am stdout
echo I am stderr 12

You don't mention devices like wireless and ethernet, if you do know the models, you may be able to find if they are supported in the release notes / hardware compatibility of FreeBSD. The graphics card will be no problem with either the nv open source driver or the proprietary Nvidia from ports (or from nvidia directly). About your questions on dual boot, since I have a notebook dual booting (actually triple booting) Vista, FreeBSD and Linux I can give you some hand on information: - The info you have been given about Partition Magic, GParted and PartedMagic should work fine. You could use any of these tools to shrink your Windows Vista partition. Make sure Vista boots after this operation. The new MS loader seems to break rather easily. In the event it does not boot you will need a Vista DVD to boot and select to repair. This sounds more frightening than it really is, it does not happen often and the repair works (automatically). - When installing FreeBSD, when asked about the boot manager select NOT to install it. Do NOT let it touch the MBR. Vista uses a different loader from XP and it will probably fail to boot afterwards. - When installation is finished, you will not be able to boot into FreeBSD, but fear not. Boot into Vista and install the free EasyBCD program: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 With this, you can add the choice for FreeBSD to your Vista bootloader (a new system called BCD) .

NIS Linux - Ubuntu
I've read most of what is out there on NIS - Linux interoperability. Unfortunately, nothing explains what we encountered on a FreeBSD 6.2 machine running NFS and NIS: 1. FreeBSD clients work as advertised, they interpret the password maps correctly; we export the server's /usr/home filesystem and users' home directories are automatically easily available. 2. ...just installed a clean Ubuntu 7.10 (newest) and set up NIS and he's STILL able to log in as ANY user without a password and can access their network drive when it's mounted Number 2 above scared the living daylights out of me. I checked permissions on the /usr/home directories, all set to 770 (each user in in their own group). The Ubuntu client could still walk all over this filesystem. Let me be clear: any valid username (as exported by the NIS maps) was authenticated with any password. Somehow Ubuntu was given root user permissions no matter what user was logged in. When we changed the /var/yp/Makefile to create maps with an 'x' instead of an '*' this fixed the problem but also resulted in no valid logins from the Ubuntu clients at all. And I have not checked the FreeBSD client machines to see how they deal with the 'x' in the password map but that doesn't matter; what concerns me is how Ubuntu was given free access over the filesystem...That makes NIS unuseable in our environment (a public high school) because what about Mac's? and other Linux-type clients? Can anyone shed a clue on what is occurring here? Seems like a dangerous hole in FBSD's NIS implementation. I know, I should move to Kerberos/LDAP but that realistically cannot happen until the summer. Thank you in advance for your help! RA Cohen Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

threading and dlopen()
Hi, please bear with me if the issue below sounds familiar[1]. I've done some more experiments to find out why the firebird client library crashes on my box. If you're familiar with threads and dynamic linking, please read on. I'm trying to fix the libdbi driver for the firebird database engine on FreeBSD. libdbi is a C library that your application can link to. libdbi dlopen()s drivers which are shared objects themselves and provide the specific code to talk to the database client libraries. libdbi works across several platforms and supports a variety of database engines - with the notable exception of firebird on FreeBSD. I can create and access firebird databases using the isql command line tool. I can build and run a simple test program which creates a firebird database, opens it, and closes it again. Now, if I use pretty much the same code, compile it into a shared object, and dlopen() it, the firebird client library invariably crashes with the following gdb output: #0 0x28535b36 in ThreadData::restoreSpecific() from /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so.2 #1 0x2852ceb4 in return_success () from /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so.2 #2 0x28525179 in REM_attach_database () from /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so.2 #3 0x2851386a in isc_attach_database () from /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so.2 #4 0x284ece8e in _dbd_real_connect () from /usr/local/lib/dbd/libdbdfirebird.so #5 0x284eba19 in dbd_connect () from /usr/local/lib/dbd/libdbdfirebird.so #6 0x2808011d in dbi_conn_connect () from /usr/local/lib/libdbi.so.0 #7 0x0804982a in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbfea2c) at test_dbi.c:91 My (limited) analysis makes me think this is some sort of a threading issue aggravated by the fact that the code is dlopen()ed (remember the same code works ok if compiled into a standalone app). BTW the firebird client library is the only library supported by libdbi which uses threads. All other drivers do not use threads and work ok. The firebird driver works ok on a variety of other platforms, including Linux and as weird ones as Windows. It somehow hurts my pride that it fails on FreeBSD. Does anyone out there have an idea how to fix this odd problem? System is 6.1-RELEASE, firebird2-client 2.0.3_1 was built as a port, libdbi and libdbi-drivers (both current cvs versions) were built from the sources (not as ports). regards, Markus [1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-December/164571.html -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with mhoenicka) http://www.mhoenicka.de ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am sorry, here is an addendum to my previous post: Somehow Ubuntu was given root user permissions Actually, upon rereading my notes, Ubuntu was only given permissions of the user doing the login - not root - but we could login with any valid user apparently FreeBSD thought it was presented with a wildcard password. And I can also verify that FreeBSD clients are able to use the password map when x is used instead of * in the map to represent the password. So I can secure the system using the x but still cannot get Ubuntu clients to authenticate. Roy Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

As a result, it looks like I'll be able to solve the problem without installing some Linux distro after all. If FFS2 and EXT3 are ruled out, then what is remaining? ;) XFS? Maybe? My impression is that there isn't good UFS support in Linux, and that stable ext3 support is read-only in FreeBSD. If that's the case, then it really does seem to come down to a matter of figuring out whether XFS, JFS, or ReiserFS (to throw out a few examples) have stable read/write support in both Linux and FreeBSD systems. It is a tough choice indeed. Of course you could do a diskless boot off an NFS and use that as file system for communication between the two OSes. But for that you need another machine connected over LAN running NFS of course. Yeah . . . this is a laptop, and I use it while traveling, so that wouldn't really suit my needs in this case. I appreciate the attempt, though. Anyway, as you may have gathered from an above paragraph of mine, it looks like I'm probably not going to need the Linux system after all.

burning DVD's on a robotic burner. Running a central iso repository
Hi, Just at the idea phase at the moment. I have played with various command line tests, but would like to make sure I am not re-inventing the wheel before I progress further. Therefore: 1. Just wondering if anyone knows of a robotic DVD burner/printer that can be integrated with FreeBSD. Ideally I would like it to be able to run 'growisofs' and have it burn the DVD on the networked robotic CD/DVD burner. The burner would have a built in CD/DVD printer. I am thinking the software package would have a web page to allow people to upload a graphic, and/or just a CD/DVD text title, that would be printed onto the CD/DVD. Having one central burner would save me having to issue out DVD burners to multiple users. 2. Conversely, I am looking into having a central DVD reader, that staff would insert a DVD, type some meta-data into a webpage, and then click on the convert button. FreeBSD would then read the CD/DVD and create an iso image of it. The iso image would be placed into a repository, from where they could be mounted as needed, and shared out via samba. An email would be sent out once the CD/DVD has been converted detailing how to access the iso file. This all becomes important when a site moves to using thin clients and Terminal Servers. Any thoughts and ideas are welcome.

If that doesn't work, try freebsd (without quotes) instead. Searching for information in manpages: Use either the apropos or man -k command, with a search term as an argument. For instance, apropos tuning or man -k tuning would have led to the tuning(7) manpage. When you find a manpage that is in the same general topic area, but you still want more information, check the SEE ALSO section of the manpage. The FILES section is sometimes useful for finding more information, too -- and sometimes, the listed files have their own manpages. Learning to research your own answers is a good idea for a whole lot of reasons. FreeBSD is one of the most well-documented OSes I've ever seen, so perhaps your tendency to ask questions without bothering to try looking up the information in standard documentation first is based on experience with other, less well-documented OSes. Once you become more familiar with the quality and extensiveness of FreeBSD documentation, you will surely find that some simple research is faster for most tasks than any user community mailing list or telephone support line could ever be.

Re: Lost FreeBSD slices (labels?) after NetBSD install -- please help!!
2007/12/16, Nikola Lečić [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, On Fri, 14 Dec 2007 05:15:16 + Snow Mountains [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: People, I have FreeBSD install on 80G disk that looked like this: ad1s1 ~ 2.4G ad1s2 ~23.0G ad1s3 ~19.1G ad1s4 ~38.0G, FreeBSD partition, sliced like this: ^ ^^ (a note: the correct terminology is actually the opposite: these a...e are partitions, real BSD partitions. What is called partition in non-BSD world is a slice here; so: FreeBSD slice, (BSD-)partitioned/labelled like this...) ad1s4a / (507630 1K-blocks) ad1s4b swap ad1s4d /var ad1s4e /tmp ad1s4f /usr [...] However, FreeBSD is now unbootable!!! Then I loaded FreeSBIE (FreeBSD 6.2 live CD), tried 'boot0cfg -B /dev/ad1' (also with '-d 0x80'), but no help! Then I realized that ad1s4 slices are lost. This means: A) from FreeSBIE, there is only /dev/ad1s4, no a,b,d,e,f. If I do this: FreeSBIE# mount /dev/ad1s4 /mnt/ufs.4 this is former / (ad1s4a) and is of its size (~507M). This probably means that you unwillingly changed FreeBSD label of ad1s4 and it's most likely that NetBSD wrote its own instead. However, from the bsdlabel(8) manpage: The various BSDs all use slightly different versions of BSD labels and are not generally compatible. So, NetBSD didn't recognise FreeBSD's labels and understood entire ad1s4 as one partition; however, ad1s4's reality is that it begins with small / (lost ad1s4a) and that is what you see; the rest is just ignored. boot0cfg did nothing because NetBSD obviously deleted ad1s4 FreeBSD's bootstrap code as well. I can't reach other slices! However, it gives me hope that NetBSD's slices are also invisible, although working from within itself: FreeSBIE# mount /dev/ad1s1 /mnt/ufs.1 gives also small NetBSD's / (its wd0a), not /usr etc. The same reason as above. [...] Please help me to recover my FreeBSD system. If I lost my data (ok, I understand they are buried, not erased), please tell me that gently. :-( That's why I think that you haven't lost any data. You must however re-create bsdlabel table on ad1s4. Since you didn't mention that you have a backup of bsdlabel (do you? :-)), you must recover it. There are two small utilities designed for this purpose, dlfind and ffsrescue: http://www.42.org/~sec/resources/disklabel.html http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/ffsrescue.tar.gz but they don't recognise UFS2 beginning marks (only UFS1 ones). However, I tested sysutils/testdisk and it recognised UFS2 labels on my healthy slices perfectly, so there is no reason that it can't help you, since it simply analyses slice contents. This utility is not part of FreeSBIE, but I think that you can just download ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/sysutils/testdisk-6.3.tbz Then untar it in ~freesbie and run the binary. Just do this: ./testdisk /dev/ad1s4 and choose non partitioned in the second menu. Please note that testdisk will not recognise your swap. Then please try to compare results (given in 512k-blocks) to what you remember about partition sizes. If it gives you reasonable proportions, then re-creating a bsdlabel shouldn't be a big problem. So please take these actions and if the aforementioned assumptions are correct and you obtain some useful info, we shall continue. :-) Hello and thanks vry much for this response and because you pointed me to right direction - what to read! It took me some time to run this and to understand always what I am doing, but it seems to work! testdisk gives me sizes that 100% correspond with _partition_ (:)) proportions I remember (and some nonsenses about tiny FAT partition somewhere...). dlfind homepage was incredibly useful for me as newbie in creating BSD partition labels, and I created bsdlabel file, carefully calculated offsets, I am happy that former ad1s4a is mountable so that I can read /etc/fstab! However I have several questions just to be 100% sure. a. swap size: by an accident, I have written swapsize (from swapinfo) of 1024 1kb blocks; it is slightly different from what I get when I subtract all partition size from total slice's size (as testdisk reported). What I should trust? b. Do I need just bsdlabel -R -e? Is it safe to experiment? c. What to write as fsize, bsize and bps/cpg? It is completly confusing for me, bps/cpg explanation from bsdlabel man page is unclear to me, I see that some people use all zeros and I can not find a clue in various examples...

rough method of cleaning the ports tree
Hi, after noticing how large my ports tree grows while compiling, I thought of simply deleting it and do a CVSup to get a new one after the compilation is finished. This should be much faster and also should do some kind o defragmentation. I simply cannot believe that the huge ports tree will still be very well organised after some months. What does the list think of this method?

Excellent! Just note that you don't need to calculate offsets; you can use asterisk (*) for all offsets from b: (swap) onward; and you can use * as the size of the last partition, too. However I have several questions just to be 100% sure. a. swap size: by an accident, I have written swapsize (from swapinfo) of 1024 1kb blocks; it is slightly different from what I get when I subtract all partition size from total slice's size (as testdisk reported). What I should trust? Use the value from swapinfo; swap is just that space (unlike sizes that you see in df(1) output: they are not sizes of partitions). The size of slice: you should anyway _first_ run 'bsdlabel-w /dev/ad1s4' -- it will write initial info and the value for c: will be the value you should use. b. Do I need just bsdlabel -R -e? You probably typoed, either '-R' or '-e' (= 'from file' or 'to edit directly'). However, I believe you should use '-B' as well, because bootstrap code was destroyed too, and you won't be able to boot FreeBSD even with recovered partitions. Is it safe to experiment? Yes, it is. If you write wrong data, it will just not work. Once you get mountable partitions, please fsck(8) them. c. What to write as fsize, bsize fsize and bsize are 2048 and 16384 if you used all defaults when installed FreeBSD (read newfs(8)). and bps/cpg? It is completly confusing for me, bps/cpg explanation from bsdlabel man page is unclear to me, I see that some people use all zeros and I can not find a clue in various examples... Hmm, yes... Actually, it seems that they can be calculated by comparing data obtained from 'bsdlabel -A /dev/ad1s4...' (look at the top of the output) and from particular 'newfs -N /dev/ad1s4X' (this command doesn't create new file system but just prints all data about how it would be created) -- but after recovery, of course. Read the entire thread that contains this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-January/031603.html However, I've never been able to find any info in the docs that exactly explains what algorithm newfs(8) uses for this field... Therefore I believe (although I'm not 100% sure) that the only way to get old bps/cpg data is to (1) dump(8) partitions once they work; (2) bsdlabel -e bps/cpg of these partitions to zeros; (3) recreate file systems there (this will write new (true) bps/cpg values); (4) restore(8) filesystems. However, if fsck(8) tells you that filesystems are clear once you recover them, I believe you don't have to worry about this. Maybe some filesystem guru can confirm.

RE: rough method of cleaning the ports tree
after noticing how large my ports tree grows while compiling, I thought of simply deleting it and do a CVSup to get a new one after the compilation is finished. I, like many, just use the portsclean utility to periodically tidy things up, or after manual ports builds if you forget to do a make clean. Doing this should keep things in check and keep your ports tree from growing.

If all would do it, CVSup would be of no help at all. 1) Delete work directories after building ports. If you use the clean make target it will do this automatically. I typically do make install This is what I always did but it is also time consuming on slower machines. 2) Use WRKDIRPREFIX. I set this in my .cshrc, but you can set it manually or I have not noticed this before. This sounds to be the best option. It will result it what I want and still will not put any load on any machine except of mine if I have to rebuild. See man ports for more information on the port build infrastructure and associated make targets and environment variables. I do this ones in a while but never noticed or did not understand the use of WRKDIRPREFIX. The other thing in the ports collection that tends to take up space is the distfiles directory. If you want to delete it wholesale then go ahead I do the cleaning work manually there. I delete only double entries to avoid additional downloading. HTH, I think, it really does.

If you use the clean make target it will do this automatically. I typically do make install clean to install the port then delete the work directory in one command. Portupgrade and other tools will generally do this as well. If you already installed a port you can just do make clean to get rid of its work directory. If you (suspect that you) have a large number of work directories (either because your builds got interrupted or you forgot to use the clean target) you can do something like find /usr/ports -maxdepth 3 -type d -name work -delete to get them all in one go. 2) Use WRKDIRPREFIX. I set this in my .cshrc, but you can set it manually or in whatever file is appropriate for your (root) shell. e.g. after doing a setenv WRKDIRPREFIX /usr/scratch all of the work directories are created under /usr/scratch/usr/ports/category/portname instead of under /usr/ports directly. Whenever I feel like cleaning up I can just rm -r /usr/scratch/usr/ports without losing anything. See man ports for more information on the port build infrastructure and associated make targets and environment variables. The other thing in the ports collection that tends to take up space is the distfiles directory. If you want to delete it wholesale then go ahead (rm -r /usr/ports/distfiles), but it's not uncommon to have multiple ports or multiple revisions of the same port use the same distfile(s), so you'll end up downloading them again and again. I prefer to use the script /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/distclean.sh. Run with a -f flag it will automatically delete all distfiles no longer referenced by any port in your ports tree.
