Re: preventing 'watchdog timeout'

Re: how to tell if my ISP is blocking email web ports
Hi, From Adelphia's terms of service: You may not operate a server of any type using the Adelphia Broadband Service. Here is the link if you want to check it out: http://www.adelphia.com/esafety/Inter_Acc_Serv_Agmnt_08_27_03.pdf I use adelphia as well, last time I port scanned myself from the outside I got hit on ports 80, 25 etc. Though I do suspect Adelphia of setting up drone machines scanning for at least web (80)...maybe others. I get hit twice (within milliseconds) in a row at least every couple of hours to port 80 from addresses in Adelphia's range. The addresses change every about every two weeks, but the rate remains constant. I've tried everything to get a response from them...to no avail. Well, to get to the point, I wouldn't run any servers on their standard ports. Dyndns has something called the port redirect wizard (http://www.dyndns.org/services/mywebhop/) where you run a server on a non-standard port and the client doesn't need to know about it. -- Stephen L. Martin fbsd_user said: I am thinking about enabling my gateway's sendmail email server to receive email directly from the public internet and also installing apache to serve my own home page. I have 24/7 cable internet connection plus an registered domain name which goes no place right now. I know I can not ask my ISP's tech support if they block ports 110, 25, and 80, because they will get suspicious and monitor my account. Want to stay under their radar. So I need a way to test if the ports are blocked or not using an friends PC and my current IP address.

Re: forwarding with ttl=1
Alex, When posting please wrap your lines...they are easier to read and some MUA's don't deal well with them...including mine :) Thanks. This situation is kind of funny, I've never heard of an ISP doing this. I belive what you want to do is, if you are using IpFilter, use the fastroute keyword. You can find more about it at the link[1] posted below. Just do a search on the page for fastroute. There are probably options for the alternate packet filters (ipfw, pf) also. Just read the howto corresponding to the packet filters name and you should find out some more information. [1]http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.txt --Stephen Hi All I am newbie with configuring networks under FreeBSD . I have small network with gateway running on FreeBSD 5.2 Release .My ISP offers me pppoe service for connecting to Internet . I didn't have problems with configuring ppp with pppoe . I used nat option wchich works fine for masquerading the local network from the world . The problem is that the ISP's gateway returns every time packets with ttl=1 which makes further forwarding impossible . My gateway returns icmp error mesage time exceeded and discards packets . I want to know if I made some mistake with configuring nat service or if not what is the solution of the problem ? Is there any service that can increment ttl and process the packet ? I tried to avoid the checking of ttl in the ip_forward() function in ip_input.c and skipping the decrement of ttl and everything works fine but i think that this is very ugly kernel hack . Probably there is an easy and elegant solution .

Tripwire Policy File
Hello, I'm trying to build a solid tripwire policy file.

I'm not sure if this is a problem or not. So my questions are: How much changed (file structurally) in 4.8, is this 4.6 o.k. to use?

Re: Any way to get an audio representation of packet flow?

This will give you a beep on your PC speaker every time it sees an ICMP

RE: problem with 2 nics in same box
Hi Scott, I am using Snort and a few other tools to decide which I'd like best. Here's the thing about Lowell's comment on Bridging. Is this necessary in this case? It certainly isn't necessary...it is an option. I don't want the interface without an IP to EVER transmit outbound. A firewall could accomplish this... snip (specifying it as such in /etc/rc.conf as ifconfig_xl1=up) Have you tried to specify ifconfig xl1 up on the command line?...I'm not sure that ifconfig_xl1=up is a legal statement in rc.conf(could be wrong). Once you get it working, (to avoid unnecessary variables) you might want to do ifconfig xl1 -arp to disable arp on that interface if it's just going to sit in promiscuous mode. For some reason, this is just not working for me at all. I've tried to configure via rc.conf and this fails to work. I've also tried assigning an RFC 1918 address to the interface I want sniffing as this traffic should not be routable, but it doesn't seem to work. This could be because your xl0 interface is already assigned a 192.168.x.x address. I don't think FreeBSD can have two interfaces on the same subnet. You could have to interfaces of different subnets (eg. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24) -Stephen ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi there,

anywhere that I can find:
If I delete ${MAILDIRPATH} and replace it with ./Maildir, then
everything works fine. However, I imagine there is a better (i.e.
recommended) place for me to put this information. This is a machine
running 4.10REL.
Can somebody tell me where MAILDIRPATH is supposed to be defined within
this new rc.subr scheme and also if anybody has any idea why the rc
script uses a variable which is undefined?
$MAILDIRPATH gets defined with the MAILDIRPATH configuration option in
either /usr/local/libexec/imapd or /usr/local/libexec/pop3d; dependent
on which protocol you choose to run.
Example: MAILDIRPATH=Maildir
