Re: ipf: filter by program?
On Fri, 17 Jun 2005 14:35:54 +0100 (BST) John Conner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I was just wondering if it was possible to add program filtering into an IPF firewall? For example if traffic is allowed out on port 80 then it may only travel through this port if, for example, it is coming from firefox etc. It seems like a pretty useful feature but as of yet I have been unable to find any documentation that covers such a filtering rule. Any feedback/suggestions would be much appreciated, Other answers in this thread has made it clear that this is not possible using IPF. However, you can achieve something along these lines using jails. Put Firefox in a jail and make sure that there are no other programs in that jail that can access port 80. Then block all outgoing access to port 80, except from the jail ip. It will be a little more complicated to start Firefox, eg ssh -X jail.ip firefox instead of firefox. Another effect is that Firefox will only have access to the jailed environment when you save data (or when it crashes or is a victim of the latest unpatched exploit). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem is not disk space - it appears to be file handles. Remember, those ports files are only about 0.5K each - so lots of inodes are being used in file infrastructure. Midnight Comm which I use for a lot of file navigation indicates that I had 99838 inodes available - of which there are now only 602 free! Yesterday that was about 900, but then I mirrored part of a friend's website and used another 300. As you can see, I need to free up some file handling capability. Thanks for any further advice you can give. Cheers, Graham/ Hi Graham You might consider using a file-backed disk (see the handbook sec 12.11) for your portstree. This should save a lot of inodes at the cost of wasting some space on your hd. Something along the lines of: 1) Point workdirs and distfiles to directories outside the ports dir by setting the environmental variables WRKDIRPREFIX and DISTDIR (man ports). 2) Estimate what will be the maximum size of your portstree for the lifetime of your setup, create a file of this size and make it into a file-backed disk. 3) Mount this file-backed disk on /usr/ports. For this to be meaningful you obviously have to remove your current portstree and build one on your file-backed disk. I'm running a setup similar to this for sharing ports between jails without any problems. (You might even be able to create the file-backed disk on the slice you are sharing with another OS and gain some space on /usr, if needed.) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

fact that his file was in the form of a script made me assume that he
wanted to write his own script for setting up his firewall. On second
thought I realize that he might just as well want to do it your way and
define a set of rules to be read in by rc.firewall. (This might even be
the best solution).
I've never done it this way, but in this case I assume that you just
define the rules in '/etc/ERICS_firewall', thus:
--
add 100 pass all from any to any via lo0
add 200 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
add 300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
add 600 allow all from any to any

Using your suggestions for rc.conf, of course.

Re: Question on downloading and installing freeBSD4.8

When I go to the following site: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.8-RELEASE/4.8-RELEASE/ I see a number of files in the bin directory. I am unable to open the install.html document. Am I supposed to download all the files on this site? Could you direct me to a URL from where all files are packaged and named clearly so that I know what to download? Thanks Satish Hi, I have never installed from a dos partition so you have to take this for what it is... vague remembrances from googling when I was to do my first install of FreeBSD, and perhaps they are not valid for 4.8. I think that you can get by with just downloading the bin and crypto directories and then choose a minimal install. That would give you a very barebone installation, but supposedly it will enable you to get something started so that you can get an internet connection up and sysinstall a more complete distribution. Otherwise I think that you have to download most of the files in the 4.8-RELEASE directory. This will depend on type of installation and the amount of documentation you want. Don't download the packages directory. A simple way to get all the files needed for an install is to download the iso-image(s) and burn them to a cd. Then you can either install from cd or (I assume) copy the files from the cd to your dos partition. The mini iso should suffice to get you started. Some dark memories from the past tells me that there are windows programs that lets you extract files directly from iso-images, so you might be able to skip burning to cd... You should be able to download the install.html document, but if for some reason you can't open it you can download install.txt instead. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Two X sessions on one machine???

I have a number of .xinitrc versions to start different WMs, like .xinitrc_fluxbox, .xinitrc_gnome and so on. To switch WM I symlink .xinitrc to the version I want, and then do a startx from the command line. I guess this approach can be extended to symlink WM (and other) config files to different configurations depending on the value of $DISPLAY. BTW, an alternativ way to start up an xsession on screen N using terminal xx is: startx -- :N vtxx Personally I don't see much use in starting several WMs at the same time, but it comes in handy when having to deal with FreeBSD is not ready for the desktop-people. Can you do this on windows? :-) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: playing a DVD with mplayer

You can define WITH_GUI when you build the port (see the Makefile). I also think that there are some graphical frontends in ports/multimedia that you might want to look at. But as I've never used any gui for mplayer I don't know if they bring in any additional functionality. Note that if you use the command line you can put options in ~/.mplayer/config so most of the time you just have to enter something like mplayer -dvd 1 to watch a movie. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
