Re: Firewall with bridged interfaces and captive portal

Long time ago I have been toying with ipf (for the genral firewall) and NoCat+ipfw for the captive portal. But that did not work too well, so any technical information will be appreciated :) My long term vision is a quite integrated thing, where users that read their email and authenticate to POP3/IMAP would be granted the access without the need to authenticate to the web portal. For squid have a look at the option auth_param You are able to use your own authorisation app/script that can check all kinds of places to see if that IP is allowed access. For example I have a client that has samba on his transparent proxy. Each user has a drive letter mapped to that share. The script defined by auth_param just greps the ip from 'smbstatus -p' and uses the username with that IP to tell squid what user it is for the logs. There would be nothing to stop the script to check ipfw, to see if there is rules for that ip to allow access and then if there isn't, add them. To remove the ipfw rules you could have a cron script that checks the last packet time (using -t or -T) and if its over a certain time then remove it (preferably with the checking of where you got the initial check to see if the user is valid or not).

Depending on the role of the machine, I've started to firewall off remote
ssh connects to my machines except only the hosts I use. A dyndns hostname
+ pf querying DNS and the static IPs that I have at the office. All others
don't need access, and if push comes to shove, I can update dyndns IP with
anything I'm behind, allow DNS propogation, (hour?) and then connect. works
quite well.
pf example:
block in on fxp0 all
pass in on fxp0 inet proto tcp from { , "sub.dyndnsorg.tld" } to
port 22 keep state flags S/SA
When you implement this, the firewall sees no existing state (I think) and
will kill your connection. If you didn't typo the firewall rule, you can
connect right back.

And the dfldsiz is the initial soft limit. You can set dlfdsiz to 512 and maxdsiz to 1024, then all processes will initially bonk out at 512 and you'd have to use limit(1) to start up the process that needs more. 1024 will be the hard limit, nothing can excess beyond that. Datasize is simplified malloc(3) where ssiz = stack size.

How well does Gnus handle groups with 1,000,000 to 2,000,000+ messages? My ISP dropped it's NNTP service a while back and I ended up signing up with GigaNews. They have 240 day retention for binary groups and 1,990 day retention for text groups. So, many of the group archives on their servers are huge. Granted I don't need to retrieve all the headers for a particular group, but it's not unusual for me to be browsing a group with a header count in the five to six digit range. so if you want help to switch from the aging tin reader to something that is still maintained & developed actively, I will be glad to help. I finally gave up on tin a while back and switched to pan. It seems to be less of a memory hog with larger groups than tin was. I prefer TUI based programs over GUI based programs, but I think pan is worth putting up with the GUI interface. It handles large groups with multi-part binary posts fairly well and makes good use of the ten NNTP connections GigaNews gives me. Chances are I might not have any problems with pan under FreeBSD. I might be misremembering, it may have only been tin I had problems with. But it wouldn't hurt to learn a little more about FreeBSD memory tunable settings even if I end up not needing them.

Hi Nerius, I don't know why those processes are hung after boot, but in order to troubleshoot the problem, I suggest that you modify the /etc/rc.d/ntpd script to invoke ntpd from truss and log the output to a file, e.g. /tmp/truss.log.$$.

I don't think it was hardware related, but it's a possibility. Jogging my memory a bit more I think the first program I had memory allocation problems was tin. Fetching headers from even a semi-large newsgroup would cause tin to crash. I forget the exact error messages but they were something along the lines of not being able to allocate the needed amount of memory. At the times of the failures there appeared to be available RAM with swap space completely untouched. The errors occurred at about the same point in fetching the headers each time. After much Googling I tried adjusting the following: kern.maxdsiz kern.dfldsiz kern.maxssiz which greatly improved things. But, I adjusted them using examples of values I found on the net without really understanding what I was doing. This time around I want to learn how to tweak whatever settings need to be tweaked to best use my available memory. Are the above settings what I should be adjusting and/or are there others? I know it's probably impossible to give advice on exactly what to tune without knowing the exact errors I was seeing. But some general memory tuning advice might help until I'm able to reinstall and try things out. P.S. I've switched from tin to pan which seems to be much less of a memory hog, so that helps quite a bit.

As a result, after bootup ntpd is running only one process and the clock gets adjusted gradually after I set it back 30 seconds. So why does running ntpdate at bootup fix the ntpd 2 process hanging problem? Well I had a look at /etc/rc.d/ntpdate: # REQUIRE: NETWORKING syslogd named And, ntpd requires ntpdate. So maybe NETWORKING is the answer to this problem. Without NETWORKING DNS lookups cannot happen and the ntpd process that does the DNS lookups hangs. So it sounds like if you are gonna run ntpd at startup you'd better run ntpdate as well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I believe around e2fsprogs version 1.40.5 or so, they changed the default inode size from 128 to 256. The current ext2fs driver in FreeBSD has a hard-coded inode size defined: #define EXT2_INODE_SIZE128 I have a patch that dynamically determines this size, but I do not yet have a good enough understanding of the ext2/3 spec to decide if the changes I made are sufficient to fix the problem or if there is some risk of breakage because the extra 128 is required for some metadata of some sort. What happened in your case is something I was afraid of and what prompted me to look into a fix in the first place - namely, newer Linux distributions or even file systems created by e2fsprogs from ports in FreeBSD will be unusable with the current ext2fs driver, since it assumes a size of 128.

How did you install the fusefs-kmod was it from a package or did you build it through the ports system? The most likely cause of this error is due to the fuse.ko module was not built against the same source as your kernel. Rebuild fusefs-kmod and that should resolve the problem. Scot Hi all, this did the trick, thanks! I rebuild my kernel and had to rebuild that port as well. Was sure I had done a portupgrade -fa before, but still it seemed I had to rebuild the port first.

To the best of my knowledge, FreeBSD will use all the memory you have within limits set by hardware and software (e.g. limits(1)). Obviously the address space of i386 is becoming limited these days, and part of the address space is reserved for the kernel (1 GB on i386, IIRC). > Taking the above filesystem question into consideration, and wanting a > stable flash plugin, which FreeBSD version should I be going with? Go with the most recent. 7.1 is getting ready, but if you're comfortable with following 7-STABLE that's OK as well. If you want the binary flash plugin you'll have to stick to the i386 architecture.

I have a patch that addresses this, but I am hesitant to suggest it, since I have not yet validated that it does not trample some additional ext2 metadata. However, in the testing I've done, it has worked with all the tests I've put it through. You can verify the inode size with: tune2fs -l /dev/ad4s1 | grep "Inode size" It is likely 256 (the new e2fsprogs default), in which case you will not be able to see or use the mount without a fix. If you're interested in my patch, let me know and I can send it to you (the machine it is hosted on is down at the moment).

Returning User With Filesystem/Memory Tuning Questions
FreeBSD Fans, I think I've just about talked myself into coming back for another try. I've been a Linux user since the 1.x kernel days. I've tried switching my home desktop box to FreeBSD a couple of times now. The first time around was mainly to give ZFS a try. After getting tired of ZFS related crashes I ended up going back to Linux. After ZFS progressed a bit, and I had taken lots of notes on the tuning needed to make ZFS relatively happy, I tried again. That time around I got ZFS working fairly well but eventually got fed up with the lack of a stable flash plugin. On the one hand, I hate sites that try to force flash upon users. On the other hand, if someone sends me a link to an amusing sounding YouTube video or I want to view the radar map at Weather.com, etc., it's a pain to be among the flash impaired. I've been browsing the mailing lists from time to time and it sounds like flash is working well enough for the limited times I'd use it, so I'm considering giving it one more try. With any of the following questions any suggestions, including RTSM(Read The Smeggin Manual) suggestions, are welcomed. With RTSM suggestions, they are even more welcomed if they include which manual and section to read. :-) First, to ZFS or not to ZFS, that is the question. While I like some of the features ZFS has to offer, I realize it may be overkill for my needs. The main thing I'm looking for is the ability to combine all the space available on both hard drives of my home desktop box. One drive is 120GB and the other is 250GB. Well, actually, I think those are marketing gigabytes. I'd be happy with either having all the space combined and available to the root filesystem, or a separate UFS root filesystem and the remaining space available for everything else. The last time around I set up root on UFS + /var, /usr, /home, /tmp, etc., on ZFS using instructions which I think were located at: http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/JeremyChadwick/FreeBSD_7.x_on_a_ZFS_pool though that page appears to no longer exist. Could something like gvinum or gconcat be used to achieve the above or should I go with ZFS? The box in question is a hyperthreaded Pentium 4 with 3GB of RAM. If ZFS is a good choice, could someone point me towards the current tuning recommendations for ZFS? If I remember correctly, the last time around I had some occasional memory related application crashes. For example I had pan crash a few times trying to open a large newsgroups. At the times of the crashes it appeared there was still plenty of free RAM and swap space was never even touched. I know FreeBSD doesn't blindly allocate memory like Linux does, but I would like to tune things to take full advantage of my available memory. I searched Google and tweaked some settings, though I forget which ones, which helped but didn't completely eliminate the crashes. What settings should I be looking at to tune to make the best use of my 3GB of memory and swap space. The last time around I set up quite a bit of swap space and it didn't appear to ever be touched. I want to keep swapping to a minimum but would prefer to have a little swapping going on than to have a program crash trying to allocate memory when there's both RAM and swap space available. Taking the above filesystem question into consideration, and wanting a stable flash plugin, which FreeBSD version should I be going with? I forget what I was running last time, but RELENG_7 sounds familiar. Is the 7.1-BETA2 iso recent enough or do I need to go with some flavor of STABLE or CURRENT?

Mounting ext3fs partition
Hi all, I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-BETA2. I have several partitions/filesystems in my computer and I would like to have full access to all of them. I've mounted the NTFS partition without problems (though it is read-only, it's enough for me) I've compiled the kernel with the EXT2FS option. I can mount the partition with: mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad4s1 /mnt/linux note: the partition is actually a ext3fs... But if I enter the mount point and do "ls", I get: ls: /mnt/linux: Bad file descriptor What am I doing wrong? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

How did you install the fusefs-kmod was it from a package or did you build it through the ports system? The most likely cause of this error is due to the fuse.ko module was not built against the same source as your kernel. Rebuild fusefs-kmod and that should resolve the problem. Scot Hi Scot, I installed it from ports. I think as a dependency on fusefs-ntfs? I will rebuild my system as I upgraded lately from 6.3 to 7, but I'm sure I just followed the handbook and did everything allright. Will post the results when I try this again afterwards.

Hang on; do you mean you're having a webserver on 210.5.51.42 trying to connect out to another webserver on 208.69.123.164 ? If not, what? I guess you have rules allowing inbound port 80 access to 210.5.51.42 ?

Basic Tulip questions
I just installed Tulip on my FreeBSD server. The server has X11
installed, but isn't running it. I asked the questions below to the
Tulip list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) earlier, but got no
reply, so I was hoping someone here was familiar w/ it and could help
me.
Does Tulip have a command-line mode?
Can Tulip recognize graphviz-generated graph files such as those
attached? I couldn't find a way to load these into Tulip?
My experience has been w/ graphviz, and my goal is to create planar
graphs from various data sources.
Graphviz does this, but the resulting graphs tend to (ironically) have
both overlapping nodes (boxes too close to each other) AND excessive
space between nodes (the graphs could be a lot more compact). In some
cases, graphviz creates unnecessarily huge (eg, 32768x32768) GIF files
for fairly simple graphs.
I'm hoping Tulip will automatically draw fairly nice graphs + have
options that let me make them look even nicer, ideally from the
command-line.

Exactly. When you su root, $DISPLAY is not set, so you would have
to set it first, maybe like this:
#!/bin/sh
su root -c "\
export DISPLAY=:0.0; \
xterm -geometry 80x25 -title 'App 1' -e 'app1' &
xterm -geometry 80x25 -title 'App 2' -e 'app2' \
"

You could do this:
xterm -geometry 80x25 -title 'App 1' -e 'app1 ; csh' &
which would start your prefered dialog shell when "app1" has
finished. The dialog shell would run even if "app" fails (thatÄs
why I suggest using ; instead of &&).

This sould be able to be achieved using the example above.

Delete all leaves you are sure you don't need anymore, till no leaves
are left.
Thanks Mel
I did a
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/usr/ports/x11/kde3:make PORTNAME
make: don't know how to make PORTNAME. Stop
How do I solve the error?

Problem solved
Answering my own question. I forgot the -V.

Re: Pasting via ssh causes data loss

I tried ssh -vvv, nothing between connect and disconnect. It's definitely not an EOF. It just loses some part of data, doesn't stop receiving after some point. Where does it get lost? Meaning, does it get over the wire? Hard to check encrypted, but a 3k diff should show up in number of the IP packets sent. Is it possible to compare tcpdump linux <-> linux vs linux <-> freebsd on the receiving end?

I mean you can't look inside a packet, because it was encrypted. Headers and packet size depends on many factors. For example, if you compare linux and freebsd tcpdumps here, you'll see that freebsd ignore packet's checksums and linux has tcp timestamps turned off, and so on. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

kldload: can't load /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko: Exec format error & fusefs-ntfs-1.2531
Hi people, I can't use my maxtor basic 640gb external harddrive on Freebsd amd64 running 7.0 because when I try to load fusefs with this command, kldload /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko I get the following error: kldload: can't load /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko: Exec format error Adding fusefs_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf and fuse_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf and rebooting doesn't help either, because then that error message is printed on the console. uname -a gives: FreeBSD zouk.telfort.nl 7.0-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p6 #1: Thu Nov 27 13:42:17 CET 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 pkg_info | grep fuse gives: fusefs-kmod-0.3.9.p1.20080208_4 Kernel module for fuse fusefs-libs-2.7.3 FUSE allows filesystem implementation in userspace fusefs-ntfs-1.2531 Mount NTFS partitions (read/write) and disk images Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this behavior? I prefer to keep the external harddisk in ntfs format, although I could easily reformat it as ufs or ext3 because my whole system environment consists of bsd and linux. But I don't know if I will violate maxtor's guarantee. So I hope someone can help me with this.
