RE: Dialup firewalling with FreeBSD
Hello, I followed this doc to install my firewall. Upon reboot I get about 12 lines more or less like this: ipfw: size mismatch (have 176 need..) It also says that dev tun0 doesn't exist. Does the tun0 device exist after boot? If so, I have faced a similar problem in the past. However, I did have some people at a SeaFUG (now SeaBUG) meeting come up with a solution. I basically had to open the tun0 port before ipfw got started. I can past in the examples if you need them. (if you have tun0 after boot) And allthough dmesg showed several errors, the firewall did work as expected. I, perhaps like you, dont like looking at errors. How do I correct this. Do you have pseudo-device tun in your kernel config file? Is it remmed out? I am not sure if GENERIC has it or not.

Don't know about this, probably the ipfw program doesn't talk correctly to the kernel, and you should rebuild (both or one of) your world and kernel but It also says that dev tun0 doesn't exist. This is correct and OK, since you don't have a connection established at boot-time. After you have connected, the rule will get active just as you expect. -- DoubleF Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.

RE: Dialup firewalling with FreeBSD
Readers of this list do not have ESP to read your mind, so you have to post details of your problem when asking for help. What version of FBSD are you running? What kind of dial out modem? Where you able to get connected to internet before activating IPFW? IPFW will not work if your modem is not found at boot time. Is your modem an winmodem? Post these files ppp.log ppp.conf rc.conf dmesg.boot If you are using FBSD 5.x version reinstall with 4.8 or 4.9 these are the supported production versions. The 5.x versions is for people who develop code changes to FBSD and is not intended for the general user like you. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of whole_r Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 3:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dialup firewalling with FreeBSD Hello, I followed this doc to install my firewall.
