Re: Dumb IPFW Question

I turned on the firewall and set the firewall rule script to the one from the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html) (Example Ruleset #2 at the bottom). Despite lots of useful tips, especially regarding stateful rules, there are a number of problems with some of the information on that page, and I wouldn't rely on it as a substitute for a thorough study of ipfw(8). At the risk of being called on to submit a PR and diff, be particularly wary of the sections in which the word 'mandatory' appears, and perhaps compare those rulesets with those in /etc/rc.firewall. But anyway .. After some investigation when I could not get www, I discovered that somehow port 53 is blocked even when I explicitly open it. This happens when I uncomment the rule # Reject Log all unauthorized out going connections to the public Internet $cmd 450 deny log all from any to any out via $pif. So essentially, when I use that line, I loose my DNS and my www will not work anymore. I see Chuck already caught your use of 'setup' with udp, which was the immediate problem. In fact, the ruleset #2 you used as basis has a rule for TCP port 53 (needed if you need to transfer zone/s with an outside DNS server) but had entirely omitted UDP 53 (though the earlier examples included it), which it seems you must have already noticed. Otherwise, it all works great and I could not be happier. Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to provide. I am sure that it is some small blunder on my part. One thing lacking in that ruleset is stopping of _outbound_ spoofing of RFC 1918 etc addresses; refer to the 'simple' section of rc.firewall, particularly the placement of anti-spoofing rules wrt NATD diversion. # Dup these lines if your ISP has more than one DNS server Or use an address list in one rule, like addr1,addr2,addr3 # Get the IP addresses from /etc/resolv.conf file $cmd 023 $skip udp from any to isp dns ip 53 out via $pif setup keep-state $cmd 024 $skip udp from any to isp dns ip 53 out via $pif setup keep-state $cmd 025 $skip udp from any to isp dns ip 53 out via $pif setup keep-state As you've found, dropping 'setup' will make these work. # Allow out ping $cmd 080 $skip icmp from any to any out via $pif keep-state I'm not sure if this is sufficient to allow icmptypes needed by TCP for MTU discovery? but I allow these types specifically and not statefully. # Deny all Netbios service. 137=name, 138=datagram, 139=session # Netbios is MS/Windows sharing services. # Block MS/Windows hosts2 name server requests 81 $cmd 320 deny tcp from any to any 137 in via $pif $cmd 321 deny tcp from any to any 138 in via $pif $cmd 322 deny tcp from any to any 139 in via $pif $cmd 323 deny tcp from any to any 81 in via $pif I've noticed other people just copying these rules from this example, but 137 and 138 are on UDP, not TCP, while 139 is a TCP service. Still, unless you wanted to count these individually, the 'deny everything not specifically allowed' rule will catch these anyhow. And if you've got windows boxes NAT'd on the inside you should block these going OUT too. eg for TCP: #% first take out the VAST bulk of TCP bogons / background noise: crap=135,139,445,1433,2967,2968,4899,5900 crap=${crap},8000,8080,3128 ${fwadd} deny log $afew tcp from any to any ${crap} in via ${ext_if} setup # RejectLog all other setup of incoming connections from the outside ${fwadd} deny log $lots tcp from any to any in via ${ext_if} setup and for UDP: #% first cut out most of the heavy duty noise (incl broken insiders) junk=137,138,1433,1434 junk=${junk},3544 # XP home calls home? MS ipV6 'Toredo' ${fwadd} deny udp from any to any ${junk} via ${ext_if} #allow in information from the ISP's DNS $cmd 361 allow udp from ip dns ip 53 to any in via $pif keep-state $cmd 362 allow udp from ip dns ip 53 to any in via $pif keep-state These are not useful, since you're using outbound UDP keep-state on 53. If you're running a public DNS server, you'd need to allow inbound DNS in from anyone, not (just) your ISP.

Best, Bill There are no other branches of ports except current. The release, security, stable and current branches only apply to the system itself. The exception being the ports that come with a release are just a snapshot of the ports tree at the time the release was rolled. While we try our best to avoid breakage, it sometimes happens. My suggestion is that if you plan on upgrading something mission critical, you might want to try the upgrade on another similar box first and test. As for compiling with options not already available in the port itself, you are basically on your own. If there is a particular option that comes with the sources, but is not a port option contact the maintainer of that port. As for doing port updates with a cron script it's not recommended. You should always read UPDATING before installing anything. Believe me it will save you foot shooting.

gzip compression problems
Hi! I'm trying to create a custom disk image for installing on a server. The plan is to PXE boot the server and dd the image to the hard-disk of the server. The gzipped files I need for the server are 45MB. However, when I create a 4GB image, stick the same files in there and gzip the image, the resulting file is 251MB.

Debug any help? First of all, thanks to all three of you for sending me your debug-messages. I've had a few days of hardcore-work lately (the work that I get paid for) and didn't get much done on Pidgin. :-/ I did get at chance to take a close look yesterday though and I'm afraid, I'll probably let this thing go. First of all, I was hoping that you guys didn't get that nat-pmp messages. A friend of mine who uses Pidgin under Windows doesn't get them either. If this were the case, I'd habe a pretty good guess ready as to what lib I'd have to examine - it might even just have been a quirk in the make and/or configure options. Since this isn't the case, I'd have to look through a ton of libs and fine out where this problem is actually coming from. And that could be very extensive. For all I know at this point, it might even be a problem with FreeBSD on sparc64 - and *that* is something I really don't feel like investigating. I've already started a thread a thread on the Pidgin support mailinglist, but the response there was everything but promising. I even supplied debug info using the gdb (as we had on this list too). There was no response worth mentioning. I got a few questions but not even a rough direction in which I should look a little harder. The mailing list had extremely little traffic for the time that I have been on it, so I guess the comunity isn't all that active. The very thin documentation on the Pidgin home page seems to suggest this too. The *programming* community is very active - I can read the sf-statistics too. :-) But that won't help me much if I can't get in touch with them using normal channels and bugging the developers with problems is usually not a good idea. Well, since I keep in touch with a lot of people at my university via IM, I took a look at the daughters of other mothers :-) out there. Somehow I got stuck with Kopete which at first looked a bit crappy to me but I was completely wrong about that. It looks good and it feels good, which means it's both fun *and* productive to work with. Ok, you have to play around a bit with the themes for the chat windows (displaying a big avatar for every line written is pretty silly in my eyes), but you can quite easily get a window that is both good to look at while still keeping the emphasis on the communication, not on eye candy. Besides that, I like Kopete's buddy list because each contact is a meta-contact by default and behind his or her avatar all the services with wich he or she is online are listed, so you can choose what protocol to contact this person with. This is important because file transfer isn't supported with all protocols. Pidgin requires more effort for this, because you have to open the list for a meta-contact first. I will be investigating why Pidgin didn't run on my machine, but I won't be doing that at full throttle... BTW. If anyone needs a new buddy in his or her list, let me know. :-) But contact me via private eMail first, please.

Yes, you can have several ethernet cards, each with an IP in a different subnet. You can run every application on what subnet(s) you decide, but the exact way to bind one application to one or more IP is depending on the application itself. I think that by default, freebsd will balance the charge between both cards, is it true?? No that is not true. If you have both card in the same subnet, I am not sure what would happen, but I beleive no load balancing.

And, no, there is no balancing anyway. You can assign extra alias IP addresses to the one NIC (rc.conf option). Then tell apache to only use one, with a Listen directive in its .conf. You can also setup Apache to do virtual hosts, so one Apache serves multiple web sites. Google for that one - there are lots of tutorials out there. The best thing is to probably do is config multiple addresses on the NIC, then run each server process in its own jail so they're isolated from each other.

Re: Backup Solution
I am relatively new to the FreeBSD game and have a bit of a problem which I am not sure how to tackle. I recently build a server running VMWare ESX Server 3 which will eventually run 6-7 small production VM's. These Virtual Machines obviously have the need for backups and it poses quite a problem for me unless I connect 6-7 external tape drives and give each VM it's own tape device. I have looked into a few solutions using VM products (consolidated backup) but it can only be done if you utilise a SAN. The server is running RAID 5 with around 700GB of space. Each VM may take up to 50GB and backups might be around 15-20GB per VM. The machine itself has an internal LTO3 tape drive, has anyone come across this kind of situation before, and if so what would be a good way to backup each VM? It is easy enough to backup the image files from the host machine but I need file level backups within each VM also. I will be very grateful for suggestions or ways people have tackled this kind of problem in a production environment. We use rdiff-backup to perform incremental backups of VMWare machine files. It works very well. Check it out at http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ Let me know if you need help on the setup. On the other hand, if you prefer to backup the VMWare machines as if they were physical ones, then I suggest rsnapshot. Of course, this will only work with UNIX VMs. More info here http://www.rsnapshot.org/ Have fun, David -- David Robillard UNIX systems administrator Oracle DBA CISSP, RHCE Sun Certified Security Administrator Montreal: +1 514 966 0122 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You either need a 64 bit binary or you need to enable PAE. Just build a custom kernel for 64 bits. Ahh... To do this, do I just specify the CPUTYPE in the /etc/make.conf as: CPUTYPE=amd64 ? No. Add options SMP to GENERIC or use the SMP conf file that's already there (and includes GENERIC). Then recompile the kernel per the handbook. he still has to set the CPU type also in this config file to amd64. If the OP has installed FreeBSD i386 then changing the CPU type in /etc/make.conf won't magically get him FreeBSD amd64 --- it will just get him FreeBSD i386 optimized for AMD processors running in 32bit mode. As far as I know, there is no simple way to start with a 32-bit system and the FreeBSD sources and recompile and reinstall everything into a 64-bit system. (Although the opposite direction is apparently possible on 7-CURRENT, but it's a guru-only level of difficulty.) The best and most effective answer here is to start by downloading an amd64 installation CD and redo the whole thing from scratch. Thanks, Matthew.

I think that by default, freebsd will balance the charge between both cards, is it true?? Most applications will listen on *all* interfaces by default. I'm not aware of an application that *cannot* be configured to only listen on one IP address, but there may be some. In the case of apache, you simply edit the Listen attribute and then restart the service. Listen x.x.x.x:80 I don't use postgres, but I'd bet it has the option as well. Mysql certainly does. You just need to read the man pages for each app (or online docs) to find out what config option you need to use and what the syntax needs to be. Or Google it. BTW, you don't really need a second nic. You can alias the first one. In /etc/rc.conf use ifconfig_interface_alias0=IP Netmask For example, from a live setup: ifconfig_bce0=inet 66.221.101.248 netmask 255.255.224.0 ifconfig_bce0_alias0=inet 66.221.101.250 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_bce0_alias1=inet 66.221.101.253 netmask 255.255.255.255 Since you would be using different subnets, you set the netmask appropriately for that subnet. When you alias on the *same* subnet, all the alias netmasks have to be non-conflicting, according to the man page, so you use the netmask I use above. -- Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/

Agreed, but he asked for a stress-test-- arguably, hitting with a size of 512 might be better for that purpose than anything faster.

Hello List, I've been reading the list for a few weeks now and trying out 6.2STABLE. I've been using Linux for the past 6years and dos/windows a lot longer before that. Now I'm trying out something new and I really like it. Even better, there are both a mailing list and a newsgroup for support, wahay! no [expletive] forums! IMHO something that is done FOR the users and for which I am truly grateful. I've checked out all the main functions I want from FreeBSD and had them all working (hehe, but since broke some) so I'm happy it will do the things I want so far. First question, what is recommended regarding doing updates. Is it best to just do all of them? I have always had problems doing this e.g. with Mandrake and other Linuxs and so am reluctant, but if it is usual I'll give it a try. (I'm also reluctant as I assume a full update will update xorg to 7.3 and I have 7.2 installed with the latest nvidia 9# driver and it works beautifully so would rather stay with that. I have read the Handbook, but still have a problem understanding how to map my ext2 and ext3 partitions to the UFS notation. e.g. I have a drive hda, it has a swap an unused space and four partitions one of which is my home partition hda7. How do I refer to this home partition using ad0??? notation (as this is what I understand I need to do, if not please enlighten). I have installed the ext2fs utilities/drivers and can mount an ext2 fs written on dvd without problems. I intend to do a completely fresh install and would like to compile for my specific pc kit. Would I be best doing this following installation and initial setting up? and is it possible to load something from a package now and later reinstall from ports?

A FASL file is a compiled lisp file. If you check in that folder there will probably be another file there with the same name and the extension .lisp instead. There is no need to have a fasl file, the lisp system can load and compile the .lisp files as needed. If you feel like speed up the load process you can of course compile those files. Note that for the files to be saved you must have write permission in that folder, so the easiest way might be to start sbcl as root and then it will load and compile the files to FASL. Next time you start sbcl the lisp will load the compiled files. If there's more, or you just forgot to tell us the error messages contained aditional problems, please repost with all the errors inlcuded. Hope that helped.

First question, what is recommended regarding doing updates. Is it best to just do all of them? It depends. If the update of the base system concerns something that you use, I would definitely install it. The best way to keep the base system up-to-date is using csup (which is still referenced in the Handbook in §20.3 as cvsup). For updating the ports tree I can recommend portsnap. For updating the ports themselves I use portmaster. I have always had problems doing this e.g. with Mandrake and other Linuxs and so am reluctant, but if it is usual I'll give it a try. The upgrade tools on FreeBSD work quite well. But if you're rebuilding your own ports it can take quite some time depending on your machine. (I'm also reluctant as I assume a full update will update xorg to 7.3 and I have 7.2 installed with the latest nvidia 9# driver and it works beautifully so would rather stay with that. There is a new beta driver available.

I have a drive hda, it has a swap an unused space and four partitions one of which is my home partition hda7. How do I refer to this home partition using ad0??? notation If you do 'ls ad0*' you'll see what is available. Remember that what DOS and Linux calls partitions are called slices in FreeBSD. Partitions in FreeBSD are subdivisions of a slice. E.g. ad0s1a is partition a of slice 1 of ad0. Customarily, slice b is used for swap, and slice c is unused. You can see this with the 'bsdlabel' command. (as this is what I understand I need to do, if not please enlighten). I have installed the ext2fs utilities/drivers and can mount an ext2 fs written on dvd without problems. I would recommend converting the disk to native UFS2 filesystems. I'm not sure if mounting an ext2 slice read/write is such a good idea. Make (in Linux, e.g. Knoppix) a tarball of your data and seve it to another disk or CD,DVD. Reslice and format the disk with sysinstall, and restore your backup. You might find §16.3 of the Handbook enlightening.

UFS/FFS probably wont deal well with the underlying logical-physical disk size changing (bytes/section, number of sectors, etc.). Even if it was pure concatenation. No, an LVM2/VxFS is needed.

Re: gmirror
The size colum can be human readable number (ex, 5g) and the offset can be the name of the previous partition. For the offset and size of the first and last partitions respectively use *. Read the disklabel(8) man page for more details -- it is actually a real well written one. I wouldn't worry about exact replication -- the sector sizes and total sectors of the logical gmirror volume and the underlying phyiscal disk will always be different -- that's the nature of LVM. Just make them relatively close and match up the letters. ~~BAS On Wed, 2007-06-27 at 14:16 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Quick question, I am configuring gmirror to mirror certain slices on my hard drives..

So I recommend that you should move to Linux. Actually nowadays it is easy to use java and tomcat on freebsd. First one has to install a JDK. I myself prefer diablo-jdk. Go to /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk15, type make install and follow the instructions. Due to java licenses you have to manually fetch some files from internet and put them in /usr/ports/distfiles. If you are required to use sun jdk, you can install it from java/jdk15. Note that it will need an existing jdk to bootstrap. By default it uses linux-sun-jdk and I had problems with it in the past. In this case I used diablo-jdk and sun jdk15 installed correctly. From my experinece, however, I can tell that tomcat runs fine with diablo-jdk. Next go to /usr/ports/www/tomcat55/ and install it and you have java and tomcat. I/You/He/She/We love FreeBSD, though;; Oh yes, we loves FreeBSD, don't we, my precious?

It works in Linux, drives me nuts in FreeBSD... FreeBSD by default uses nvi (new vi editor its own light version of vim) I would try to use that before I waist time with vim. It is included in your base distribution no need to compile. The commands are standard vi commands. For light editing you are probably better of to use ee (easy edit) the simplest FreeBSD specific editor included in distribution. This is not to say that vim doesn't work. You have to compile from ports and since I do not use vim I am not probably good person to answer your question. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use freebsd-update in cron jobs to install binary security update to the base system, and use cvsup/portupgrade in cron jobs to install port updates. By default, cvsup uses CURRENT branch. I am tired of some updates breaking something unnecessarily, and am thinking of changing to SECURITY branch in cvsup. Is that possible? Some of my ports are already locally compiled with customized options. If that's impossible, can I wait until the release of 6.3, upgrading to it, and then switch to SECURITY branch in cvsup? If those are entirely impossible, can I switch to STABLE branch? I'm confused by this system, please let me know if anything I do doesn't make sense. Best, Bill There are no other branches of ports except current. The release, security, stable and current branches only apply to the system itself. The exception being the ports that come with a release are just a snapshot of the ports tree at the time the release was rolled. While we try our best to avoid breakage, it sometimes happens. My suggestion is that if you plan on upgrading something mission critical, you might want to try the upgrade on another similar box first and test. As for compiling with options not already available in the port itself, you are basically on your own. If there is a particular option that comes with the sources, but is not a port option contact the maintainer of that port. As for doing port updates with a cron script it's not recommended. You should always read UPDATING before installing anything. Believe me it will save you foot shooting. Beech -- I run freebsd-update and my cvsup configuration uses *default release=cvs tag=..
