No, no, no.  ssh keys with out pass-phrases are a liability.  It really is a
bad idea to do that.

What the OP should do instead is use ssh-agent -- I fire it up from .xsession
when I log into my desktop.  Then load your key into the agent:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa

which will require you to give the pass phrase.  However, that's the one and
only time you'll need to do that.

Then when you ssh into a box, it should auth against your key automatically.  If
you take care to always use the '-A' flag when you ssh in:

ssh -A hostname

then you can bounce through several machines, and the auth requests will be
relayed back to the ssh-agent on your desktop.[*]

Cheers,

Matthew

[*] Agent forwarding is off by default in /etc/ssh/ssh_config (client side)
but permitted in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (server side) -- but the -A flag
overrides the client settings.

Post install help

[Vayu]

I just did my first install, so far so good.  I've got KDE running.  I 
know how to play around with xorg.conf and got my screen resolution 
matching my monitor.  My network is working to the router.  Now I would 
like to get my graphics and sound cards working.


Where can I find out about getting an nVidia driver installed (I have a 
6600GT)?


Where can I find out about getting my sound card working (sound blaster 
Audigy 2)?  Right now I get no sounds anywhere in KDE.


How can trace my permission errors when I try to access my CD player in 
KDE?  (All I know about so far is to add myself to the wheel group to 
get su)


Is there a good source of HowTos anywhere?


Any help would be appreciated

Actually, it's a lot worse than that, most times.

The vendors usually aren't the ones that write drivers,
it is the chipset manufacturers that usually write a
stock driver that they supply with the chipset, with the
idea that the vendor is supposed to use this as an
example of how the chipset it to be handled when they
write their own driver.  All to often, though, the vendor
merely repackages the chipset manufacturer's example
driver.

Some of this is true but most of the reason is merely
that the chipset manufacturers don't write the drivers
so there's nothing for the vendor to repackage.  And
the chipset manufacturers only write a single driver
for the largest OS in market share simply because their
customers (the card vendors) won't buy the chipsets if
an example driver doesen't exist, and to the chipset
manufacturer, every single scrap of time spent writing
a driver is wasted effort, whether the driver is for
Windows or some other OS.

If you actually go out and buy decent quality hardware
that costs more money, where the vendors do in fact just
use the chipset maker-supplied driver as a base to work
from, you will find drivers for lots of different non-Windows
operating systems.  But you won't find that hardware in
the bargin bin at Fry's.

If you must upgrade, go to 6.0.  5.x would be advised only for those

I'm assuming you do not want to enter anything to log in right?  If so,
you need a private key with a blank passphrase.  It's hard to say from
here but it may be that you are being prompted for the passphrase to
unlock your private key.

Generally speaking these old versions are not supported at all.  They
might still be receiving security support (see
http://www.freebsd.org/security/), but if you e.g. try to report a bug
then you'll mostly get people telling you to upgrade to a supported
version first (since after all there's a good chance the bug is
already fixed).

At this point you really need to plan to upgrade to the 6.0 series,
since that's where the future lies.

I have never tried this but I believe it should work. You have to know
how to talk to your printer, usualy using some language like Postscript
or PCL or some vendor special language for modern ink printers.

I think that the old reports were from older FreeBSD version which
didn't have ACPI or from old machines which didn't have lpt in ACPI.
Nowadays "on acpi0" is pretty common.

Re: How to tell if IPF is running?

[jdow]

From: "Erik Norgaard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Nce writeup. I do have one question at the bottom.

I used IPF on FBSD until there was some bug in IPF for 5.x some version 
that forced me to switch after an upgrade. The bug has been fixed since 
but I have found no reason to go back.


There are two things I miss from IPF:

a) proper accounting: You can't count traffic correctly with stateful 
filtering on pf, pf will count when a rule is matched but once a state 
is established packets for that state are not matched and hence not counted.


b) an active and inactive ruleset: To load a new ruleset you'll have to 
flush everything. You can check syntax of rules before loading and pf 
loads all or nothing, so if there is a syntax error in your ruleset it 
won't be loaded. BUT: You may make syntactically correct changes that 
yet contain errors: Just say you wrote:


  block in all from 10.0.0.0/2

but meant

  block in all from 10.0.0.0/24

In IPF I always used:

  # ipf -s && sleep 60 && ipf -s

to give me 60 seconds to verify that I didn't lock myself out.

Now, that is compensated by in PF you can flush and reload the rules 
only, keeping existing states, so the connection you use for maintenance 
is not torn down.


The pros for PF are some features to prevent DDoS against servers behind 
your firewall, and advanced queuing features and CARP. The use of macros 
and tables makes it easier to maintain rules, but the lack of groups 
means you have to be more careful structuring your ruleset:


Rules are read top down _always_ in IPF I really liked groups, even 
though I always kept rules together. It just made it more explicit that 
rules went the same place. PF uses some clever skip ahead to gain the 
speed that proper use of groups give in IPF, and tests have shown that 
pf is faster than IPF in particular when rulesets grow large.


but you need to be careful writing rules:

IPF sample:

block in quick from 10.0.0.0/24 to any head 10
pass  in quick from 10.0.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.0/24 group 10

PF sample:

block in   from 10.0.0.0/24 to any
pass  in quick from 10.0.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.0/24
block in quick from 10.0.0.0/24 to any

The thing is that in the first line of the IPF sample, a default action 
is made for that group. packets matching the head rule but no rules in 
the group will take that action.


In PF you'll have to include that extra rule in the end to get the same 
behavior.


So, in short, ipf is really simple and comparatively easy to work with, 
the lack of macros means you generally have to write more but this also 
makes it more explicit what happens as packets traverse the ruleset.


pf has some really nice features in particular in more complex setups. 
The use of macros means that you can create compact rulesets that can 
easily be adopted to other systems or setups.


Use what you feel most comfortable with.


OK, I am coming from a Linux iptables world. I have a nicely working
firewall in that realm including the following nice little tidbit that
allows me to be anywhere in the world and ssh into the machine while
making ssh dictionary attacks really "expensive".
===8<---
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -m recent --name sshattack --set
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name sshattack \
 --rcheck --seconds 120 --hitcount 3 -j LOG --log-prefix 'SSH REJECT: '
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name sshattack \
 --rcheck --seconds 120 --hitcount 3 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
===8<---
The trap allows up to three tries within a 120 second period before blocking
the IP address responsible until the tries within the last 120 seconds is
below 3. I've found that attacks will start. Then they will simply spend
an hour or two generating log entries for the rejects. (I then add the
net block for the source to another rule that blocks it entirely for ssh.)

I have similar blocks on pop3s and imaps.

Which tool would be able to do this sort of thing best and how might it
have been done.

Yes, the stock Xorg server doesn't though. You could use VNC, but in my 
experience that just opens up another X display where you login separately 
using kdm/gdm/xdm or whatever.


I suggest you use KDE's desktop sharing (krfb, in the menu under "System", 
part of the "kdenetwork" package, tested on 3.4.1). Does what you want.



 

I hoped there is a more native solution. I prefer gtk over kde but what 
can I do?

Thanks,
   



The x11vnc port may do what you want.  Give that a look.

Erik
 

   It is a wonderful port. It provides access to your display that you 
specify (if you are the "owner" of the display), and emulates it via 
VNC. It will take up less memory than straight VNC since it uses the 
existing X server (if it is running), and attaches to it and allows VNC 
connections to that specific instance of the X server.

All,

I have a Dell c640 laptop.  I would rather not run X, however the only 
sreensize that I can get for the console is 640x800.  Does anyone know of a 
driver I can call in the Kernel to get a bigger console?

perhaps there's a problem with your internet-connection somehow or your
DNS-settings or firewall- or proxy-settings ? (ntpdate ntp.nasa.gov
works fine here)

trying ntpdate with the -d parameter is also an idea

Works fine over here. Can you connect to the NTP port on that server?
Try this:

nc -u -v ntp.nasa.gov 123

and see if you get a connection succeeded message.

Also, have you thought about using pool.ntp.org instead?

Hi list,

When I type "ntpdate ntp.nasa.gov" (or another server)
the answer is "no server suitable for synchronization

What is wrong ?

RE: Help backing up to networked drive

[Mike Loiterman]

For those that are interested this is how got things to work:

On the Mac Mini I edited /etc/smb.conf and put in this:

 [backup] 
 path = /Volumes/Server-Backup
 writeable = yes

Then I restarted Windows File Sharing by going to System
Preferences->Sharing and then turning off Windows File Sharing and then
turning it back on.

Then, on my server, I mounted the Mini's drive with this command:

/usr/sbin/mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/backup /mnt/backup

Now I'm using this script to do a level 0 dump:

/sbin/dump 0aufL - / | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/root-dump-l0.bz2 
/sbin/dump 0aufL - /tmp | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/tmp-dump-l0.bz2 
/sbin/dump 0aufL - /usr | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/usr-dump-l0.bz2 
/sbin/dump 0aufL - /var | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/var-dump-l0.bz2 

Once I see that this is working well, I'll probably set up folders for a
weekly level 0 and dailys level 9's.

Thanks to Chuck for the hint on adding the drive in the Mini's smb.conf
file.

I guess it would violate POLA, I for one wouldn't expect the

Vitalie, perhaps some info about the kind of NIC you have might help.  
Also can you show ifconfig

   1) before you pull the cable
   2) after you pull the cable
   3) after you plug the cable back in

At least then we could compare what happens for you with what happens 
for me.

Well i found out some things you may want to look:
the command vidcontrol(1), syscons(4) and then
/usr/defaults/rc.conf has this line (375) in section
"system console options"
allscreens_flags="" # Set this vidcontrol mode for all virtual screens

the modes are listed in vidcontrol and there are other interesting options in
this section.

Because if i understood well then you have problems with the console and the
gui, is this right?
Well the console has nothing to do with xorg.conf in this case. This is set
before you start the xserver.

I tryied allscreens_flags="VGA_90x60" i reboot but didn't work. However I
won't be able to see the machine for the next two weeks.
Let me know if you make it work.

Had a Pressario 730CA myself, and the machine's video goes bazerk switching back 
from GUI/graphics to console - same problem under netbsd and openbsd too... 
Upgraded a year ago to an AMD64-based Compaq Pressario 3000-series, same problem 
still ... turned out to be the video driver. I 'upgraded' to the nvidia driver 
and things are WAY better now, can switch consoles, smoother 3d performance too. 
Not recall the video chipset in the 700 series though, but if I recall they were 
nvidia too no?


Anyhow - just thought I'd drop my two cents, took me a million 
support/frustrated emails to various lists before I got it figured out too, hope 
this might help.

Re: no one here use restore/dump?

Wojciech Puchar wrote:
[ ... ]

Did you have a more specific question...?


yes - i did before.

i have problems with restore. dump is about 60GB and 1.5 million files.

two problems when doing restore -rvf /device

1) after extracting all directory listing it starts to do "Make node..."

but after some of it done, it starts to take 100% CPU and work for about 
1 hour on PII/400 before finishing it.


eventually it finishes, so it's not such a big problem


If you do a SIGINFO (normally control-T), it ought to give more specific 
information about what it's doing.


Are you restoring to an empty new filesystem which has just been newfs'ed with 
similar inode parameters to the original source of the backup?


2) after restoring 7 volumes, at 8-th volume it tried to prepend ? to 
every pathname extracted so it resulted in error unable to create.
doing ln -s \? . and restarting restore from 8-th volume worked and i 
was able to finish things.
 
why restore failed? and how to dump without fear!


I haven't seen that sort of problem myself.  Are you sure the original 
filesystem is OK and doesn't contain any weird symlinks which could have 
confused dump?  Try to fsck it and test a new dump/restore sequence.


Did you use the -L flag to dump using a snapshot, that may help...

Well i found out some things you may want to look:
the command vidcontrol(1), syscons(4) and then
/usr/defaults/rc.conf has this line (375) in section
"system console options"
allscreens_flags="" # Set this vidcontrol mode for all virtual screens

the modes are listed in vidcontrol and there are other interesting options in
this section.

Because if i understood well then you have problems with the console and the
gui, is this right?
Well the console has nothing to do with xorg.conf in this case. This is set
before you start the xserver.

I tryied allscreens_flags="VGA_90x60" i reboot but didn't work. However I
won't be able to see the machine for the next two weeks.
Let me know if you make it work.

Actually, I take it back.  The original script doesn't work.

dd gives an error when I try to backup /usr saying that the file is too
large...it dies at 4GB.

Use labels.  I admit that accounting in pf can lead to a more messy

You can use ssh-keygen to generate a RSA or DSA keyapir without a passphrase; 
copy that to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the other machine, and you can ssh 
without entering a password.

You either have to configure Samba to explicitly list the path under /Volumes as 
a share, or you have to enable the option to follow symlinks outside the share 
which contains your symlink

Help backing up to networked drive

[Mike Loiterman]

I would like to backup my server to a firewire drive connected to a
Macintosh Mini. Both machines are on my local network and, of course, behind
a secure firewall.

Right now I'm using this script to take backups:

#!/bin/sh 
  
 /sbin/dump -0uanL -f - / | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish [EMAIL PROTECTED] dd
of=/Volumes/Server-Backup/dump-root.gz && \ 
 /sbin/dump -0uanL -f - /tmp | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 /sbin/dump -0uanL -f - /var | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish [EMAIL PROTECTED]
dd of=/Volumes/Server-Backup/dump-var.gz 

This is working fine, but I have to run the script mannually and enter the
password.  

So my question are these:
1.  Is there any other way of doing this so that I would not have to deal
with the password issue from ssh?  This is all taking place behind a secure
firewall on my local network, so ssh is probably not necessary.

2.  How can I use samba to mount the Mini's drive?  mount_smbfs would only

information about distribution

[Martin Rolinec]

Hello.

I would like to make a web page on which I would like to sale Linux 
distibution to people, who don´t have an opportunity to download it from 
internet.


So I have few questions about a licence:

1. I would like to ask, if I can download the CD images from your
   distribution (iso-cd-dvd, live iso and so on) and offer them for
   sale on my web page, thus if I can spread your distibution legaly
   for a minimal charges?

2. CDs and DVDs I would like to sale with CD printing.../with Buble
   Jet printer/. So I would like to ask you, if I can use your LOGO
   and the LOGO of distibution and a color combination of your
   distribution on the CD printing.

PS: Of course with using of your LOGO and the color combination I regard 
all rights and duties involved in copyright.


So, every customer, who will buy your distribution will be notified in 
writing, that:


1. distribution is dowloaded from web, from your ISO images

2. distribution is burned

3. the price of CD or DVD does not include the technical support in
   all forms from you .

4. customer will be informed, that your LOGO, color and the name of
   distribution is subject to your author´s right

5. customer will be informed, that the CD was burned by me, so I will
   bear all problems coupled with its malfuncion.


Thank you for your answers and I hope, that I will be able to spread 
your distribution without biggest problems.


With best regards.
Have a nice day.

That should work, assuming the output comes from the stderr of
/root/src/upgrade.sh.  I even tested the syntax to make sure I 
wasn't  just confused by my lack of coffee this morning...

Maybe it was trying to use another depth (like 16), and because it
wasn't present in a "Display" subsection it used all the available
modes by default.

You can only use the modes that are listed in "Modes", that's why you
can't switch to 1280x1024. You have to add "1280x1024" to the "Modes"
line (when not using DefaultDepth 24 it seems all modes are listed
there).

Then X will start in the higher resolution it can find in "Modes", to
solve this you can put in .xinitrc the following command (which will
change the resolution after X starts):

xrandr -s 1024x768

You can also see the list of available resolutions with that command
(without parameters).

If you have something like "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xfce" in .xinitrc be
sure to put the "xrandr -s 1024x768" command before it (the "exec"
replaces the shell by xfce, so everything after the exec will never
be executed).

For example (xorg.conf section with 1280x1024 added to Modes):

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   DefaultDepth 24
   Device "Card0"
   Monitor"Monitor0"
   SubSection "Display"
   Viewport   0 0
   Depth 24
   Modes   "1280x1024" "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Compaq Armada 1500c with ext USB drive

[Ian Smith]

[originally posted to -mobile 4 days ago, but I've had no response ..]

$subject running 4.5-RELEASE since 2002, no problems but perenially full
4GB drive and way-too-ancient wi for newer cards: past time to upgrade.  

5.4 CDs and new 40GB drive arriving in a few days.  In the meanwhile have
borrowed an external USB 2.5" 20GB drive for hopefully clean full backup,
but after much struggle and study I just can't get it to go despite USB
and SCSI attachment seeming fine.  Always, bottom line, 'Unit not ready'.

The external USB drive is recognised, attached and works fine on 2 'doze
boxes, a '98 desktop and a modern Compaq laptop running XP; on the former
I created a FAT32 first partition and copied a few files onto it.

Relevant extracts from dmesg.boot are below, but first I'll describe the
problem appearance; perhaps someone will recognise it straight up?  This
is using an added USB 4 port powered hub, the ext drive having an extra
power-only USB plug reportedly needed by some USB systems; no difference:

.. which is what happens on any attempt to read from the drive.  I added
SCSI debugging to the kernel and can bombard you with voluminous reports
while having debug enabled, but it always comes back to the above; for
some reason the drive is not being made ready, or not being seen as such.

Any clues?

Cheers, Ian

I recently installed FreeBSD 6 RELEASE onto a hard drive and added two

users, bob and bill.

Whilst I was doing this I decided to make root and bob members of ALL the
groups in the system.

I now find that I am unable to log in as either root or bob nor can I su 
from bob.
I have tried booting to safe mode but it will still not allow me to do 
anything

The messages that I get from the system are:

login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv0
login: initgroups(root,0) : Invalid argument
login: setusercontext() failed - exiting

I can still log in as bill and this will allow me to see the system files
but bill doesn't have the authority to change anything.
I tried to su to root but bill is not in the wheel group.
If I want to run a graphical environment (and I do) then I need to start
this up as root.
Is there any way to get past this problem or will I need to reinstall?

You could always bootup the 'fixit' image from the install cd, then mount your 
root partition, and vi /etc/group. That's what I'd do given your case; if you 
are unsure of how to mount the partition, bootup your machine, login as 'bill', 
type 'mount' and look at which partition is mounted to '/'. Then bootup the 
fixit image, and 'mount /dev/_your_root_slice /mnt', then simply 'vi 
/mnt/etc/group'. Should be fairly straight forward, email back to the list if 
you still have problems with it.

Haven't been hacked, just prone to man-in-the-middle attacks (WAS: I have been hacked)

[Kilian Hagemann]

Hi guys,

Just to find closure on this thread, I'd like to admit that I jumped to 
conclusions too early and would like to share what had actually happened, 
after many hours wasted playing the detective :-(  (glad I didn't 
format/reinstall though)

When I "used" my FreeBSD gateway as an smtp server to convince myself I had 
been hacked, the smtp connection was somehow redirected to one of my 
institution's mail servers (or at least that's what gmail's mail headers are 
saying). Funny enough the same trick no longer works today, but then they're 
currently upgrading lots of stuff around here so that's a different story.

Then when I used ftp to connect to my gateway and it came up with "frox 
transparent proxy", someone had actually intercepted my connection and 
forged/spoofed a reply. I know that because I went to the premises of my box, 
unplugged everything and tried that trick again, successfully, from a 
separate dial-up connection. Hey, nmap even told me my box had ports open 
even though it wasn't even up!

I've never seen anything like this before, but I've notified my ISP. Remains 
to be seen if they do anything about it...

Anyway, long story short I'm glad I'm still secure and thanks to everyone who 
helped me out and gave me advice.

Re: FreeBSD vs Linux

[Graham Bentley]

Damn, I just fell into the same old trap. This is a questions 
list about FreeBSD. I already use it (as well as other OS's)
What do I care about the arguments for and against xy and z? 

Thinking about it now, if I was asking the same question and 
someone said  "Why not try out FreeBSD and make your 
own mind up!" I may think they where being a tad dismissive 
however there can never be any substitue for hands on 
experience !!

To that guy (wherever he is now) :-

Download FreeBSD and get it installed, its great! 

Come back and ask if you have any problems or 
questions and we will do our best to help :))

Happy FreeBSD'ing !!!

Apache & PV entries

[M. L.]

Hello list,

I am configuring a very heavily used apache webserver, that required 
some special needs.


This particular configuration needs to have at least 1024 httpds always 
running. Reaching this number is not a problem, but whenever I stop 
apache via apachectl stop, I notice all the httpds take a long time (1 
min) to vanish - and meanwhile, top shows most of them locked.


The states I see in top are:
*vm ob
RUN

while the header shows:
1038 processes:332 running, 12 sleeping, 694 lock

The numbers vary a lot. Eventually, they get killed, but it takes too 
much time.


After some searching, I found out the cause for this was running out of 
PVs. I've added the following relevant options to the kernel:

options KVA_PAGES=768
options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=5120

sysctl vm.zone | grep PV shows: (note: httpd stopped here)
   (limit) (used)  (free)   
(requests)

PV ENTRY: 24, 84410445,   5522, 1632543,  5381679


So, if my assumptions are correct,  and running out of PVs was the cause 
(I did get that message about increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC before I 
placed that in the kernel), there is a problem now. If you look at the 
vm.zone output, there are 84,410,445 PVs that could exist, but the 
system shows only 1,632,543 free.


This leads me to believe there is another thing to tune. I already have 
a high PVs limit, but according to this output, it's not going further 
than 1,6 millions.


My question is, what can I do to make the system use the full 84 
millions, as I have not found any way to do this.

Same here. Using FreeBSD as a multimedia workstation and very
happy with it.

There are still a few shortcomings though, like missing MIDI
recording (not playback) functionality and no support for my
Pinnacle DC10+ Zoran video capture card; but if I need that,
I'd just dual-boot into gentoo (which *does* feel a lot like
FreeBSD from an admin POV and the main reason I picked that
distro, just to feel more at home), do whatever is needed,
and then reboot into FreeBSD. Not ideal, but workable.

-cpghost.

Re: no one here use restore/dump?

[Wojciech Puchar]

nobody here do backups of their systems? strange?!


I backup and restore using those self-named tools on a variety of DLT and 4mm 
DAT tape drives.  4mm DDS DAT kinda sucks, and they are super-sensitive to 
being cleaned a lot.


i'm using DVD+RW discs. after doing dvd+rw-format for a first time, it 
could be used directly (as /dev/acd1) for dump but blocksize must be 32 
and -B 4590208 must be entered.



Did you have a more specific question...?


yes - i did before.

i have problems with restore. dump is about 60GB and 1.5 million files.

two problems when doing restore -rvf /device

1) after extracting all directory listing it starts to do "Make node..."

but after some of it done, it starts to take 100% CPU and work for about 1 
hour on PII/400 before finishing it.


eventually it finishes, so it's not such a big problem

2) after restoring 7 volumes, at 8-th volume it tried to prepend ? to 
every pathname extracted so it resulted in error unable to create.
doing ln -s \? . and restarting restore from 8-th volume worked and i was 
able to finish things.



why restore failed? and how to dump without fear!

There IS kernel support

To original poster: try search on main FreeBSD.org before asking
questions. There are great chance that you find something useful :-)

Why do you suggest PF over IPF?

Hope I am not starting a war here.. but I am genuinely interested in

the

opinions.
I used IPF on FBSD until there was some bug in IPF for 5.x some version 
that forced me to switch after an upgrade. The bug has been fixed since 
but I have found no reason to go back.


There are two things I miss from IPF:

a) proper accounting: You can't count traffic correctly with stateful 
filtering on pf, pf will count when a rule is matched but once a state 
is established packets for that state are not matched and hence not

counted.


That's not true.


Hi Peter, it would be quite useful if you would contribute with 
knowledge instead of empty claims. And if you don't care to explain in 
verbose mode, at least provide a link to where the knowledge is found.

If I am wrong, I'd like to learn the solution.

I need host based counting that distinguish up- and download. AFAIK this 
means I can't use tables and hence I have to reload the entire ruleset 
to add or remove a host. This is quite annoying compared to IPF where I 
can load or delete a single rule from the active ruleset - and thanks to 
groups, I can make sure a rule get inserted the right place.


And, I still don't know the easy solution to get the numbers out.

Of course there is a point in PF, namely that there is just one ruleset 
whereas in IPF filtering and accounting rules are separate.


Cheers, Erik
