Easiest way is to set PACKAGESITE per the pkg_add manpage, then use
portupgrade -faPP to update all your packages to the 6.2 versions.
I'm assuming you're running a recent version of 6.x, BTW.

Thanks, Kris
I knew PACKAGESITE but never thought that package building freezes during a

definitely read man geli , man geom_geli, and the handbook section...and
play
with it until you feel comfortable with it.

 can you tell be can i convert existing

depends what you want to do. If you want to create a file-backed GELI
encrypted
file (similar to a PGP Disk in Windows), then you dont need to touch your
partitions at all - simply create the file.

If you want to have, for example, /usr encrypted, then you need,
/dev/ad0s1f.eli
instead of . /dev/ad0s1f - you dont believe you need to repartition, but
you'll
need to wipe all the data and to encrypt the device.

Read the docs.

Not really, we have a large system which required little coding except

We have two FreeBSD servers as public gateways running Sendmail +
Milter-Ahead + MailScanner. These 'gateways' scan mail for viruses and
then forward the delivery on to three toasters which are FreeBSD servers
running qmail + vpopmail + Spamd + SquirrelMail.



Why you have chosed sendmail on the gateways?

Hi!

When you write your rules, you put log in them..


example:
pass in quick log proto tcp from any to any keep state


then you have to have pflogd started(pflog_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf).

When pflog is started your binary log is lcated on /var/log/pflog

you can read it witH:
tcpdump -n -t -r /var/log/pflog

if you want real time(because pflog is where is written with some delay)
tcpdump -n -t -i pflog0

 When it comes time to upgrade, how does one upgrade 100 different

Actually, not.  You only need 1 master jail and a bunch of nullfs
read only mounts plus some exclusive space for each jail.I run 44
jails at the moment this way.  Upgrading is relatively easy as I only
have to upgrade one master jail (and unfortunately lots of jail etc
if such happens but a few scripts can automate much of that).

I basically set up

/local/jails/master  and install according to man jail into this
place.  I never start this jail.

I happen to use disk backed md devices as the root for each jail.  I
mount each on on /local/jail/jailname

Then I do

/sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/bin /local/jails/adcmw/bin
/sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/lib /local/jails/adcmw/lib

/sbin/devfs -m /local/jails/adcmw/dev rule -s 4 applyset

In my master jail I have some symlinks so that each jail has its own /
usr/local/ that is writable.

All the jails run out of one installed jail and they also have the
side benefit of the main system directories being read only so
exploits in one jail cannot affect all the running jails.





Wow,
I really like the setup you have make..

 this ends up somewhere in /usr/local/www.

Hello guys,


in bsdnews.com i found this link http://kerneltrap.org/node/6506 and
particulary this:

I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
Playing games with VM is bad. memory copies are _also_ bad, but quite
frankly, memory copies often have _less_ downside than VM games, and bigger
caches will only continue to drive that point home.




What do you think about it?

Re: PF and VPN/Hamachi

 Hey,

 I'm having some trouble with my FreeBSD PF firewall and hamachi (
 http://www.hamachi.cc ) , a simple program to set up a vpn. I asked my
 question on the hamachi forums but nobody seems to reply. Currently I
 have these rules in my pf.conf:

 # For Hamachi:
 rdr pass on $extif inet proto udp from any to $extaddr port 12975 -
 192.168.2.11 port 12975

 and I just allow all outgoing traffic:

 #Allow everyting outwards
 pass out all keep state

 I tried about every rule stated in this topic (
 http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=1079 ) on the hamachi forums
 but none seem to work; either they have an invalid syntax or I just
 can't use that port ( someone redirected the traffic to port 25 which
 I'm allready using ). I also tried this rule, but it doesn't seem to help:

 nat on $extif from $intif:network port 12975 to any - $extif static-port

 I hope someone can tell me what to do because they are either also use
 hamachi through a PF firewall or know what the correct syntax should be.

 Thanks,

The man page is so shortly explaing ...

  Can i use the snapshots for full restore and if yes how can

  The part that everyone is referring to the snapshots is the
  fcsk you can run

 You ought to be able to clone a partition from a snapshot via backup
 (from the snapshot) | restore (to another disk).  Doing this for every
 partition should clone the FreeBSD system as of the snapshot.  I've
 never tried it, however, and I'd be interested in hearing from someone
 who has done it successfully.


...
Yea..
That`s the idea...
Maybe dd copy from the snapshot and then growfs if the hard disk is
bigger...

Re: natd with several alias IPs

That`s how i do it with PF!!!

# Rule  2 (NAT)

nat on ed0 proto {tcp udp icmp} from 10.10.xx.xx to any - 172.16.xx.xx

Where ed0 is the interface with the alias..


As performace i can say that`s its scalling very well. Because of the nature
of PF and the options you can set(to be more aggressive or not ) i don`t
have problems with overheat.

  See man natd about the following options for 1-to-1 NAT translation,

 boots:
 
   -redirect_address localIP publicIP

 That's one trick. Do you use it in production? How many

 incoming traffic translated to the address it is meant
 for, not the last address?

Re: General Guidance Using Snort Inline

2006-02-14 Thread Iantcho Vassilev
I am pretty sure there are modules for PF(so i guess IPFW2 should have
also).
Try google and the snort mail list


On 2/14/06, Drew Tomlinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I've installed snort 2.4.3 on a 6.0 machine and have it logging
 successfully to a MySQL database on another machine in my home network.
 I also have BASE installed on that machine to view the alerts.

 Now I'd like to move forward and do things like block an IP address for
 1 hour that has generated 5 alerts on the same rule in the past
 minute.  I've Googled and read about snort inline.  But what I've read
 suggests that snort works with ipfilter.  I'm running ipfw2 for my
 firewall on the same box that's running snort.  To use snort inline, do
 I have to covert my entire firewall to ipfilter?  Or will snort use
 ipfilter to do its inline stuff and ipfw2 can continue to work on its
 own?

 I'm confused about how this should work and would appreciate any nudges
 to guides regarding this setup.

 Thanks,

 Drew

Mailbox format. Isn`t that a bottleneck. WHat are the loads of the machines.

 Hi,

 As a sys-admin, I am often bugged by users who had mistakenly deleted
 some very important email, and could I recover it from the tape
 back-up.

 I try to explain to them that back-up is only run once per 24 hours
 and maybe their message arrived since the last run, and that tapes are
 there to recover disk crash, not user bad moves, it still eats up
 quite some amount of my time (and it is a stupid task).

 So I came up with a system whereby messages are duplicated on a second
 server and users can use a web page to browse that second server and
 recover emails.

 Kust in case someone maybe interested, the system is explained there:
