Ah, but then the FSF will know who you are !

(well, basically, it's another example of over-engineering, and bad tools.
You can't change it without breaking every gnu-configure script in existence

I had this USB wireless NIC laying around (it's old).  So far it seems to be 
working fine for me.  But, I am just using it as a wireless client and not as 
an AP or anything.

cheapest firewall?

2014-02-01 Thread Adam
Any suggestions for the cheapest possible firewall (that is new hardware  
not re-purposing some old stuff)?  All I need is 2 ethernet interfaces and  
for it to run openbsd.

alix 2d19 or 2d4.

With a bit more work on OpenBSD/octeon, Edgerouter lite would be
slightly cheaper, but the port isn't quite there yet (storage isn't
supported yet).

 Hi there,

 When I use a client, which is behind a pf firewall, I use this redirect
 rule:
 pass in on $ext_if proto {tcp, udp} from any to any port 12345 rdr-to
 10.1.2.3

 Now I have a client that is connected via a socks5 SSH tunnel to the pf
 firewall. Can I still have a pf redirect to this client?

 I wrote code to do this for PF some time back based on work by Luca
 Barbieri for the same functionality on Linux:
 https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1295

 I suspect the patch will have bitrotted since then.

 The other gotcha is that it needed to be run as root to open the PF
 device to look up the NAT states.  That could potentially be mitigated
 by a setuid helper program, but from memory it needed write access for
 the DIOCNATLOOK ioctl, so it'd still be potentially dangerous.

Rather than writing a helper running as root, you can change from using
nat redirects (rdr-to) to using divert sockets (divert-to), then the proxy
will receive unmodified packets and can just use getsockname(2) to retrieve
the original address which does not require privileges.

Same method will also work with FreeBSD ipfw.

Further to my earlier very basic erro description, I was able to colelct

Could you give me some pointers of how to possibly fix this or how to

 Subject: OpenBSD 5.4 as guest under VMWare Server 2 install fails
 
 Hello,

 I tried installing OpenBSD 5.4 as a guest OS in a VMWare Server 2 (yes, old 
 platform) and it fails early on during the install process. Since the VMWare 
 console doesn't allow me to copypaste the output, I took two screenshots (as 
 per attachment but not sure if this lost support attachments).

 Anyway, the final message on screen is:

 cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor)
 fatal protection fault (4) in supervisor mode
 trap type 4 code 0 eip d04a4968 cs eflags 10202 cr2 0 cpl 0
 panic: trap type 4, code=0, pc=d04a4968


 I first noticed this behavior when I tried installing OpenBSD 5.3. I then 
 tried to install OpenBSD 5.2, which worked like a charm. The dmesg of the 
 running OpenBSD 5.2 under VMWare Server 2 follows at the end.

 I am wondering if you could give me pointers as to why the install fails.

 Here is the trace output:

 cpu_init(d0b73880,0,30,d0a466a0,0) at cpu_init+0x51

That corresponds to the lcr4() in this:
if (ci-ci_feature_sefflags  SEFF0EBX_SMEP)
lcr4(rcr4() | CR4_SMEP);

and indeed, that code was added in 5.3, support for the SMEP CPU
extension.  It appears that that ancient version of vmware had that
bit set (incorrectly) in its cpuid emulation.

Last I checked, vmware 2 had reached its end-of-support period *YEARS*
ago.  Wasting time on a broken and no longer supported emulator would
be just that: a waste of time.  Good luck.

The way it is generated can be changed very easily and contrary
to the previous comment it doesn't break all autoconf scripts
that use the triplet. But there is no purpose for doing so. OMG

There's an aesthetic nicety that comes from having everything

I just got back to this and, to be fair, with Debian Linux USB pen
