I would put them above the block in quick all rule though, just for clarity's sake. That's what puzzled me. And you might have reasons to do it this way(more optimized ruleset?). Anyway, your ruleset works fine. Two things I can think of 1) another active packet filter, forgotten maybe? 2) your internet provider does funky things for you. Perhaps traceroute using tcp might help(-P tcp -p 21 ftp.freebsd.org) When you use passive ftp, all the connections are initiated by you, so it's no different than HTTP, telnet, ssh, ...

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Problems with Vim 6.3.85 (vim6+ruby)
Hi I just installed FBSD 6.0 and installed vim6+ruby from ports. This is a clean system with nothing on it. When I run vim, I get what looks like character codes instead of letters. For example, immediately after opening vim, I get 25h Typing ':q' to quit gives me: --- 25h25l :25hq25l25h Very weird. Have I set something up wrong or is vim getting the wrong terminal type? I get the same behavior if TERM is either 'xterm' or 'xterm-color', but not if it is set to 'ansi', but then I don't get color. I have never had to worry about this before. Any help appreciated. -- Jim Freeze Got Ruby? http://www.ruby-lang.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

saslauthd with sendmail
Greetings! This is my first posting to this list, ive been using FreeBSD for about 5 days now. I come from a fairly extensive linux background, so I have a pretty good handle on compiling and configuring things. Im actually doing a project for myself to see if I can configure an exact services replica of my production linux servers, but on FreeBSD (and then ill switch it over!!). I have a couple dev boxes im using for my experimentation. One, I did a minimal install. The other, I did the developer install (install option 4 I believe it was). The other, I did a full/complete install, but so far, ive not used that one in any of my testing. Its just there. I am having terrible trouble with sendmail and saslauthd! Ive spent at least 48 hours compiling or pkg_add'ing things to try to get it to work. Each time I give the command: sendmail -d0.1 -bv root, this is what I get: fbsd60-3# sendmail -d0.1 -bv root Version 8.13.4 Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG Warning: Option: AuthMechanisms requires SASL support (-DSASL) I also get that last warning line when sendmail starts too. Ive tried pkg_install sendmail+tls+sasl2+ldap, then sendmail+tls+sasl2, then even sendmail and cyrus-sasl-saslauthd. Same thing as above. Still complains of no SASL. Then ive tried using ports. cd /usr/ports/security/sasl2 make install distclean cd /usr/ports/security/sasl2-saslauthd make install distclean then, cd /usr/src/lib/libsm make obj make depend make cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil make obj make depend make cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail make obj make depend make make install and always, with each attempt, I have the proper lines in /etc/rc.conf, such as saslauthd_enable=YES, and the make.conf contains: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS+= -L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD+= -lsasl2 I can get Sendmail to recievemails for local [EMAIL PROTECTED] no problem, like I said, I have a general handle on the configuration of sendmail.

DSL router bridging question
I've got a bit of an involved question about dsl and router config so hopefully I'm able to make this clear. The situation I've got is, one dsl router w/ 4 inside ports, 8 routable IPs, 2 outside machines ( FW and Email/Web), and a number of inside machines behind the firewall. Currently I've got one IP for the inside interface of the router and one for each outside machine. DHCP and NAT are turned off on the router, but BreakWater Firewall is set to ClearSailing and Safe Harbour is On. I couldn't find the setting for the Safe Harbour option. Router is Netopia-3000 model 3347NWG. It's currently set to PPP over Ethernet. Ok, here's my issue, everything works fine from the inside, and machines behind the firewall can access the web server and the Internet, but it looks like the router is blocking all inbound connections. Does the router need to be in RFC-1483 Bridged Ethernet mode and have the firewall run PPPoE to sign in to BellSouth? And if this is the answer, will the web server or any other machines (with routable IPs) on the router's inside ports operate as expected? I've looked at the handbook PPPoE info and it seems clear enough and there are a few sites with info on bridging the router, I'm looking for clarification before I start changing the current setup that bridging the router is what I want, that the router is transparent to the Internet, that is allowing all traffic in and out. thanks, John. -- - John F Hoover [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mount_smbfs and NETSMBCRYPTO
Greetings, I have recently run into a problem mounting windows shares on my 6.1 Beta 2 laptop. smbfs is loaded via loader.conf, but I get an error message stating that encryption support is not available. According to this thread: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2006-02/msg00556.html I now need to add options NETSMBCRYPTO To my kernel config to get encryption support added for mount_smbfs? I am currently running a generic kernel and I have never needed to do this in the past just to mount a windows share. Has something changed recently and I will need to do a buildworld to fix this? I tried kldload netsmbcrypto but I guess the file does not exist. Is there any way for me to mount a windows share without doing a buildworld? I did not pull sources when I built the machine as I intended to just run generic and load anything extra via loader.conf. Thanks for any pointers on this. -Derrick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
biord and sbwait state of postgresql process
Hi folks, I'm running a application where I create multiple (300+) textfiles out of a postgresql database. The first 160 loops go perfectly but the suddenly the process of the app gets the state biord at certain point in the procedure. Then the WCPU column in the top command goes almost to 0% and also the CPU utilization drops to a few %. Normally both these values were showing values in the 80 and 90 range. The process stays here a few minutes (always at a certain point in the procedure) and runs very slowly but after all recovers. Then everything goes back to normal, and the process gets its state RUN again. The WCPU increases again to it's old values as does the CPU utilization but then my app goes back in another loop and starts degrading again. After I have cancelled the process, the postgres process still continues but now with a sbwait state. What does this mean? So, what is happening here? How can the performance degrade like that? And why always at the same step in the algorithm? Hope someone can help me out. Ooh yeah, I did some tweaks: sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmmax=402653184 sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmall=16384 I have an amd64 3000+ system with 1GB ram and a SATA harddisk running freebsd 6.0 release-p5.

When KDE gets started this way there is no proper login shell. There is a shell script that should source .bash_profile, but because it's running under sh, it doesn't understand the bash specific stuff. I did once experiment with a .bash_specific file that got sourced either in bash_profile, or .bashrc according to whether a BASH_ONCE variable had been exported.

FreeBSD install disables linux partitions and system
Hello, I have (had?) a machine with two drives with two major partions on each. One on the first drive was used for Mandriva linux, one on the second used for its /home folder. I wanted to try FreeBSD because I could not get my Plextor SCSI CD-R/W drive to operate under Mandriva 2006. I copied /home to the first partition, that being as much of a back-up as I could do. Then I followed the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook for a dual-boot system. This involves putting the FreeBSD bootloader on both drives. Once I had FreeBSD 6.0 and KDE up and running, I recompiled my kernel with extfs functionality and tried to mount my Linux drives. This failed: bsd# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad2s2 /linux-tmp mount_ext2fs: /dev/ad2s2: Invalid argument This is what I am getting now. I also got you must have read-write privileges or be root, but for some reason that is gone. ad2s2 is what my old /home partition showed up as in sysinstall. I installed and tried e2fsck, but no use: bsd# /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /dev/ad2s2 e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks... /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/ad2s2 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 device I tried a few other numbers, but to no avail. What makes this bad for me is that the FreeBSD bootloader will not boot Mandriva. Attempting to choose anything but FreeBSD rings the system bell and does nothing else. The Mandriva rescue disk is unable to restore its original bootloader, or read from the drive with the FreeBSD partition on it, or repairthe system without wiping the disk. I no have no access to my data at all. I don't think it is meant to function this way, but I read the install part of the handbook three times and cycled round in sysinstall at least as many times to make sure I had it right. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: mount_smbfs and NETSMBCRYPTO
Derrick Ryalls wrote: Greetings, I have recently run into a problem mounting windows shares on my 6.1 Beta 2 laptop. smbfs is loaded via loader.conf, but I get an error message stating that encryption support is not available. According to this thread: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2006-02/msg00556.html I now need to add options NETSMBCRYPTO To my kernel config to get encryption support added for mount_smbfs? Yes. That will fix it. I am currently running a generic kernel and I have never needed to do this in the past just to mount a windows share. Has something changed recently and I will need to do a buildworld to fix this? FWIW... I (and others) were bitten by this. There was a thread not long ago with a few complaining about the change breaking POLA, and possibly an explanation as to why it was changed. However, I can't seem to dig it, or anything for that matter, up out of the archives. Others have mentioned the archive search not working well lately... so you might wait another day or two and search through the archives for the reason why it was changed. I tried kldload netsmbcrypto but I guess the file does not exist. Is there any way for me to mount a windows share without doing a buildworld? I did not pull sources when I built the machine as I intended to just run generic and load anything extra via loader.conf.

It appears that this is indeed an environment variable, and is further set in login.conf, so this turned out not to be the cause of the problem. Instead, it seems that there is a problem with pf to be investigated. Could it be that the first time pf rules are loaded, the interface has not been configured completely (say, lacking an IP address)? - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
