FreeBSD 5.4 release firewall/router and PF not loading rule sets
Hello list...
I have a few questions I would like to ask. Some may sound stupid, but
please bear with me since I'm new to FreeBSD and networking for that
matter...
So, I'm trying to build this router/firewall thingy for our local
network. The box has 3 NIC's, one for the Internet and two for the
local subnets. I have to build it so that the two subnets can not
comunicate with each other. I would also like to implement NAT for the
both subnets so that only the routers IP is visible on the net. The
subnet hosts all have C-class adresses and not private network
addresses. I would also like to disable any connections from the
outside to the host and only allow the basic net services to be passed
out on the Internet, like web, smtp, etc...
The problem is I can not seem to get the firewall (PF) to work. The
computers IP's are all seen from the internet, NAT is not working...
if I type pfctl -s rules I only get two lines saying "ALTQ support not
compiled in the kernel. Disabling ALTQ support." Do I need ALTQ
support for what I'm trying to do.
Any ideas on what should I check on my system? I read the man for
pfctl but couldn't find the command for just checking the pf.conf file
for syntax errors. I was using pf -f /etc/pf.conf for that, and it's
not outputting any errors only the ALTQ thingy and the ssh session
disconnects so than I have to reconnect.
I have pf enabled in rc.conf and as far as I can tell it's loading
fine and the pflogd is also running. It's just not working... guess
I'm measing something or am just plain stupid...
Maybe I didn't understend how this is supposed to be so here is my
first attempt at PF rule set building... ;) Here is my pf.conf
--
ext_if="rl0"
ped_if="xl0"
adm_if="xl1"
priv_nets="{ 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8 }"

pass out on $adm_if proto {tcp, udp} from $adm_if:network to $ext_if

pass in on $ext_if proto {tcp, udp} from any port { 22 } keep state
pass out on $ext_if proto tcp all modulate state flags S/SA
pass out on $ext_if proto { udp, icmp } all keep state

I you have any ideas please help. Thanks for your time and answers...
best regards,
Uros

Re: tar Syntax Help
Try leaving off the leading / from each line in your exclude list. I think what is happening is that, by default, tar drops the leading / from each file it tars up so that when you untar, it extracts all files relative to the current directory. I think because of this, when you specify absolute paths in your exclude file, tar fails to match them. Alternatively, if you want to keep the absolute paths, try tar with the -P option. Your exclude list may work as is in that case. I haven't ever tried that myself though. Just be careful when you untar if you do use that switch.

DarwinStreamingServer problem
This is my second post and I wanted to say the replies to my first post were very very helpful, thank you all for what you are doing. I'm on release 5.4 and I'm attempting to install the DarwinStreaming Server from the ports. I updated my ports first. I then went to the /net/DarwinStreamingServer port and upon my "make clean install" command I get the following: "Please get DSS-v5_0_3_2.zip from http://developer.apple.com/darwin/project/streaming/ And you must accept the APSL. Then, put in /usr/ports/distfiles/DDS-v5_0_3_2.zip" Of course I went to the location and could not find any reference to this zip file. I've done an exaustive search on Google, the BSD site, and the Apple site on "DDS-v5_0_3_2.zip" and got no hits. I then thought I might do a manual and downloaded the recent DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5-Source from the website. I got it to compile successfuly with the ./Buildit command but now the Install script will not work and it appears that if I modified it somewhere I could get it to work but I'm not that advanced and could not find any good examples of the modified script on the web.

I'm not sure what a "run-time symbol table" is, and if it gets rebuilt at any time, or is something thats part of the program, or what But its not like one time it behaves one way, then another time it behaves another. My description would be hazy at best, so hopefully someone more au fait will chime in. But I can definitively state that, no it isn't something that gets rebuilt every so often. However, if you run ktrace on a simple program like ls: ktrace ls then do a kdump | less, you will see that after finding ls, /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is the first thing accessed. So, when things start working again, /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is magically fixed, which just makes no sense. I assume there are no other messages obvious errors in /var/log/messages? One final thought is that it could be the disk. You could try installing smartmontools and see if the disk thinks it is OK -- though of course it could be the controller. But in such a case I might expect other errors. I'd think if it was a memory issue, it'd be something other than the same "Shared object..." thing each time. One time it'd be a bus error, another time a "this isn't executable", etc The classic bad memory symptoms are periodic reboots, and random segmentation faults. The latter is particular to bad memory, I would say. The fomer can have other causes. It's the intermittent nature of the fault that really makes me think hardware.

SSH and gigabit NICs
The setup: Both machines FreeBSD/i386 5.4 a) AMD64 machine with on-board Marvel Gigabit NIC b) Athlon XP with cheap SMC Gigabit NIC (also Marvel) Cabling is brand new Cat5e. Have tried various different cables of different lengths to no effect. To rule out problems with a cheap switch, I have just wired the NICs together. To benchmark, I had a huge bz2 file (430Mb) which I copied with scp and ftp from machine a to machine b. On cheap NetGear 100Mb cards, the transfers both took ~40 seconds which is ~80Mbit. On the new Gigabit hardware, ftp drops to 17 seconds, but scp takes longer! Out of the box (no tweaking of any relevant parameters) it now takes over 53 seconds. After tweaking tons of stuff, I can make scp take maybe 43 seconds, but at those settings, ftp takes well over a minute! What is going on? I know that 17 seconds for the ftp is hardly stellar (200+Mbit or so) but for £50 I could live with that. But for ssh to get slower just boggles. These days, almost anything you do over a network ends up using ssh -- specifically I was hoping to make rsyncs faster -- but for them to get slower? I've seen odd ssh network behaviour on other boxen. A couple old Linux servers were 2-3 times slower for ssh than ftp, but I put it down to oldness and Linux and general weirdness. They were on a 100Mbit network. When I monitor with "systat -ifstat" I can see ftp keeping up a reasonably regular transfer rate, but when I watch the ssh, it yoyos up and down wildly, but still never gets above about 80Mbit. Both machines have plenty of idle CPU and the ssh is not compressed. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on? So far I have tried: HZ=1000 on both machines. No effect. various net.inet.tcp.recvspace and net.inet.tcp.recvspace values on both machines. About 4096 (down from the default of 32768) makes ssh work "best", but stuffs ftp. 65536 improves ftp a bit but ssh goes up to 53 seconds (~64Mbit). MTU values of 5-9000. ~6000 the scp seems to start a bit faster (maybe 100Mbit) but soon drops back into the 60s. Before anyone asks, the driver doesn't seem to support polling. --Alex, baffled and really quite annoyed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You have to tell the kernel to use the serial port as console. You can do so by adding the line "console=comconsole" to /boot/loader.conf or instruct the first stage loader to use serail console with the command 'echo -h > /boot.config' For serial port configuration you may also want to have a look at the sysctl machdep.conspeed and to the /etc/make.conf option BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT and BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, both compile time variables. If you want to have a login on the serial line you also have to enable a getty in /etc/ttys.

If I understand your question, you'd like a window manager that is pretty light but has the ability to do backgrounds and the like. Both rxvt and aterm are lightweight xterms that can show backgrounds as they run--there is also eterm, but it's more resource intensive. As for the window manager itself, I like fluxbox, and it's considered relatively light. There is weewm, which can have a background image--actually, I think most of them can now, using xsetbg. Fluxbox has fbsetbg which will set a background, but does require some other program to do that--some people use feh, xv and xli are two other programs that can work with fbsetbg to set your background.

Re: Minimum Install w/ X11 on Virtual PC
Hakim, You're pressing it a bit considering that X does use up a bit of resources, and considering that you have an additional system overlayed on top of Windows (I assume you are using XP), you will want to actually go out and get more RAM. You are unfortunately working with conditions which may become extremely laggy for you and will ultimately lead to less than desired performance. I know because I ran Windows XP on vmware, and having another Virtual machine running on your computer eats up a lot of resources, and hence decreases the peak usable performance of the system greatly. Either get at least 512 Mb Ram, or consider switching from Gnome/KDE to something doable like Fluxbox, FWM2, or XFCE since they don't use nearly as much memory as Gnome/KDE. -Garrett On Thu, 7 Jul 2005, Hakim Singhji wrote: Hi All, I am going to install FreeBSD 5.4 on MS Virtual PC.

You may wish to take any saved spam and use it to teach SA what spam is, because the Bayes learner is actually quite good at swaying this the right way. Also, if you're like me, you'll want to bump the required score down. When I was getting 200+ spams a day (some days over 300), SA was letting through 2 or 3 a week. Now I get 3 or 4 a week (I shut off the problem domain for 6 months) and SA lets 1 or 2 a week. It's a numbers game. The more educated Bayes is, the smaller the percentage of FNs are. The problem is that Bayes won't kick in until you teach it with enough spam - I don't remember the kick-in point offhand. I've seen a message get pushed through several different installations of SA (all the same version and config) and come out with drastically different scores, all because of Bayes. The better systems are ALWAYS educated on a regular basis. Also, since you're starting off, you'll get a lot of mileage out of the SA list. I use Maildir mailboxes on my system and when I learned how important teaching Bayes is, I actually wrote a little perl script to check for spam messages marked as read (Maildir/.spam/cur/*) and pipe them automagically through the Bayes learner before moving them off to the spam backup directory. I also separate out the autolearned spam and just push that off to the backup regardless of the read/unread status. I think I've gotten about 2 FPs in 3 years of using SA. Those FPs really weren't spam, but they were all messages I didn't want to get anyway, like chain letters or some other rubbish. :) HTH Lou -- Louis LeBlanc FreeBSD-at-keyslapper-DOT-net Fully Funded Hobbyist, KeySlapper Extrordinaire :) Please send off-list email to: leblanc at keyslapper d.t net Key fingerprint = C5E7 4762 F071 CE3B ED51 4FB8 AF85 A2FE 80C8 D9A2 Linus' Law: There is no heavier burden than a great potential. pgpND9n0VCxmn.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hello,
If you want to include the first two digits you have to remove the two
zeros from the pattern.
ruleno=`ipfw list | sed -n -e "s/\([0-9]*\) $target/\1/p"`
^^
This is because in the other pattern when the rule number does not start
with "00" then it will not be matched and nothing will be returned.
Explanation:
The 's' is the substitute command, '/' is the operand separator, the
'\(' and '\)' construct saves the text it matches in the register '\1',
'[0-9]*' matches any number of digits (even 0 of them), $target is
replaced with the contents of the shell variable. All of that is
replaced by just the text matched between '\(' and '\)'. The 'p' flag
causes the line (after substitution, that is, the text between '\(' and
'\)') to be printed (and assigned to ruleno).
Hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Ale

Re: procmail kill problems in dmesg?
Do the segfaults only happen when you run procmail? If other programs fail randomly with segfaults, then it's more likely to be a general memory-hardware problem. If it's only procmail that fails it could be just a procmail bug. Procmail is the only one segfaulting with signal 11. POP3 has exiting with signal 6 a few times, but only a few, and its been sporadic. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Do the install again but do not make /boot a partition. 1Gb is more than ample for / and /boot. Given that you have /tmp separately, 256Mb would do. I, at least, never used that much even. /dev/ad12s1a981527 122405 78060014%/ 1Gb just because it's peanuts to a 200Gb disk, and I don't bother with /tmp separately. For all the talk of the 1024 cylinder problem, I have never encountered it. I suspect that while it was true of older hardware, that it just isn't the case any more. If this is a problem, then it is just the / (root) partition that needs to start inside 1024 cylinders. Apart from that, my opinion is that having swap = 2.5 * memory is still a reasonable rule of thumb. You may never need it but a) it's a tiny fraction of your disk and b) if you expand your memory in the future you still have enough swap. You must have at least as much swap as physical memory. With 1Gb I put in 4Gb of swap, just because it's peanuts compared to a 200Gb disk. If I double my memory, I still have plenty of swap. /var depends on what this machine does. If it is a mailserver then 512M is inadequate, for a home machine it's probably plenty. If you ever need a crash dump from the kernel (and you may *never* need one, but if you do...) then you need as much free disk space as you have physical memory. There was a recent thread about disk sizing (maybe a month ago?) so try searching the archive. I also found this useful when clarifying my thoughts about how to partition a new disk: http://keramida.serverhive.com/weblog/archives/2004-10-26/daemonizing-a-new-disk --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Can I just double check that the editing of fstab is only applicable if my device names change? Correct. If the device will end up on the same controller and logical position (master, slave, whatever) then you do not need to edit it. However, if you plan to reboot the machine and just boot off the new disk without changing its position first, then edit fstab.

hang-up's on clean FreeBSD 5.4 on compilation
Hello I have posted before, about my problems with Kernel compilation. Now it's bigger problem ;-) I still can't compile the kernel. Now i reinstalled FreeBSD 5.4, totally clean download. It's just for education/fun, so i can do that.. for now. I choosed Standard install, Devel distribution, and installed linux base. One additional package: CVSup. Nothing more, nothing less. After installation, i used CVSup to get newest source [ src-all ]. Then i ran: 1) cd /usr/src 2) make buildworld it hanged up my PC.. i tried this several times, and it hangs up in different places, always on 'cc' command. Maybe it's something with my memory? Now i'm DLing release CDs, maybe it's something with net install, wrong packages, or something. Do i have to configure 'make' in some way before compiling anything? Everything seems to be ok, but it just don't work ;-) > 1) check that you have sources. reinstall sources from CD or recvsup. > 2) check that you have correct version of C compiler.

I have another system running freebsd 5.2.1-Release and the X system is working very well, on this system my keyboard is working, i see that here the xorg version is < 6.8.2 and the xorg is not using the new driver kbd, we still using the old driver keyboard. Them, i was thinking that maybe my keyboard was the problem but went i test with 5.2.1 i see that is not, i think the new drivers is the problem. I have my xorg files, log, dmesg, if someone could help me how to fix this i will apreciate, i dont know if someone else has this problem right now with xorg 6.8.2, someone from this list say to me that after he change his system to 5 stable, his keyboard start to work, but, i am going to try to see if i can find the problem, iam not a guru but i can read the files. Thanks all for your time, i hope we can fix this little problem, if not i will test with 5 stable i send the results.

The driver accomplishes that by issuing the respective flush commands (or uses queue ordering or whatever is supported by the drive) or (in the case of IDE/SATA), may disable and reenable the cache on a barrier. Thus, the barrier maintains an on-disk ordering in requests between "earlier" and "later" requests (otherwise the driver and/or the disk could reorder writes at will). Since the system doesn't actually run with the cache disabled because it's only used for flushing at sequence points, neither performance nor drive wearout is negatively influenced (noticably, that is). An actual application of this is, with journaled filesystems, that the journal will get written to disk before the data is updated. This will guarantee filesystem integrity. From what I understand, MS Windows is doing it that way, and Linux is also using that mechanism (with support for SATA disks only in the latest 2.6 kernel, though.) >The problem with caching has nothing to do with flushing the cache; if >you flush the cache often, there's no advantage to using it anyway. >The whole speedup from using on-disk caching comes from the fact that >the drive reorders the writes at will, and lies to the operating >system by saying the writes are done when they aren't.

That's where my headaches start. Softupdates doesn't write a journal at intervals but seems to order writes in general, in a continuous way. Therefore, it would appear that there are no such sequence points. I'm not really aware of the details of how softupdates works, so I'm probably wrong. I only know that running with the cache disabled seems to be the only safe way to assure that the ordering done by softupdates isn't broken. But disabling the cache is a no-no on modern drives, since they are constructed to be used with the cache on, and disabling it will yield terrible performance and significantly reduce the MTBF, at least on IDE/SATA drives (I'm not talking about enterprise-grade 15krpm SCSI drives, where the situation might be different). So what's the recommended procedure? Relying on an UPS or that the power will not fail? I mean, I could run fully asynch then and the whole softupdates is of little use, except for (relatively rare) occasions of a kernel crash. >This doesn't follow. Just because you know that your drive supports >disabling the cache does not mean that it is safe to do so.

Re: Migrating FreeBsd installation to another hard drive
Thanks for the time taken to detail all of the steps. I think I am doing roughly the same thing except you are going via from _source_ to _intemediary_ back to _source_ once the RAID is sorted.

After quite a lot of reading I got round to following this article[1] using a VMWare FreeBsd instance. In brief the article uses dump and restore to move the data from one mounted partition to another in single user mode. It also suggests that before you do this, you perform a minimum install on the destination disk to ensure that it boots fine. First time round, I did the minimum install and then followed the steps (minus the MAKEDEV step as I'm running 5.3R) to backup the data to the destination. This all worked fine. Second time round, I didn't do a minimum install, rather I just set-up the slice and partitions on the destination using sysinstall, and then did the dump/restore. On booting from the destination disk this time, nothing happened. I reasoned that it was because I had no boot manager installed and so went ahead and used boot0cfg -B to install the FreeBsd boot manager. The disk now boots; however, I would prefer to use the equivalent of the 'Standard - Install a standard MBR (no boot manager)' option from sysinstall as FreeBsd is the only OS on the disk and so I don't need the option of booting to it or anything else. I'm guessing that I would use fdisk to do this but if so am not entirely sure how. In addition, is this safe to perform on a disk with data or would I need to go through the dump/restore process again? One final question is whether the dump/restore process is the best approach in this instance? I have read about using dd but am not entirely sure whether this would do what I need?

I have read about using dd but am not entirely sure whether this would do what I need? No, you should use dump/restore and if it is the root partition you will need to edit fstab afterwards. Can I just double check that the editing of fstab is only applicable if my device names change? During my testing here I have been migrating to a secondary disk that eventually becomes the primary. As such I haven't had to change the fstab (both origin and eventually destination are device ad0). When I do this for real however, I will be migrating from a single drive to an array so understand that in that case I will need to edit fstab to reflect the device change (this should be fine as I have had to do this in the past). --Alex PS There's a FAQ all about this.

Network Debugging
I'm trying to improve the performance of our rural homebrew wireless broadband and am hoping some of the folks here can give me a pointer or two as to what network monitoring tools I should use. Background: - my internet access is five wireless and five wired hops downstream from a 1/2 T1 (ten Buffalo AirStation G54 routers in all). - my connection has a lot of jitter--ping's usually vary from 10ms to 150ms within a two second window - FWIU, jitter is related to congestion - I have setup a FreeBSD box to monitor [1] each router along the path using smokeping. The smokeping charts are showing me some interesting stuff. Here is some data from the past three hours (I am using the smokeping default of 20 pings sent every five minutes): |- Building 1 --| |--- Bldg 0 --... +---+ ++ +---+ | .203 | | .202 | | .201 | | Router In |<- wire ->| Router Out |<- wireless ->| Router In | +---+ ++ +---+ avg RTT: 7.3ms 12.1ms 7.8ms % lost: 2.37% 14.25% 2.64% max RTT: 20ms 80ms13ms My FreeBSD box is a four more wireless hops to the left of .203. A slew of questions ... What is going on here? I am confused by the max RTT readings and packet loss stats for .202 and .201. How can a router further away from me have better performance? Over the past 13 hours, the averages are consistent with the three-hour averages, while the Max RTT discrepancies are even higher: .203 / .202 / .201 = 20ms / 145ms / 13ms. Is .202 congested? Is the .202 router "bad"? How can I debug this further? SNMP? If SNMP, what values should I track/inspect? - # of packets with errors? - # of queued packets? - ??

snapshot - 5.4 panic
I did a test install of snapshot(8) http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/snapshot/ It seemingly worked well, I could mount the snapshots as expected etc. This morning when I rebuilt the system from 5.4p1 to p4 and rebooted. At boot the system panicked: panic: snapblkfree: Inconsistent block type setting amd_enable="NO" did not help I did a "rm -rf .snap" on all concerned slices and that stopped the system from panicking. I'm not particulary fluent with what snapshot does and would like to hear from anyone that might have a clue.

Keymapping in X: xterm vs. rxvt
I have some problems with how some programs as sh or dc behave in
aterm, but not xterm.
About my system:
~%uname -a
FreeBSD Klabautermann.ks.se 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #8: Thu Jun
30 21:18:02 CEST 2005
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM i386
With a Swedish keyboard:
~%cat /etc/rc.conf
[...]
keymap="swedish.iso"
[...]
~%cat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf
[...]
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
[...]
~%cat .login_conf
[...]
me:\
:charset=iso-8859-1:\
:lang=en_US.ISO8859-1
[...]
The problem starts when I use any of rxvt/aterm/wterm with sh as their
shell (e.g. aterm -e sh): In this case when I press "SHIFT" + "8",
which should give me "(" (= open parenthesis) on my keyboard, the shell
executes a backspace. Also the backspace does not work, but apart from that
all other keys, including special characters, seem to work fine.
With xterm I do not see any of these problems at all.
All other shells, csh, tcsh and zsh work fine with aterm.
So far I could ignore all this and be happy using aterm with zsh, but
when I now (aterm and zsh) use a program like dc or ficl, which
require input, I again have "SHIFT" + "8" mapped to "BACKSPACE" not to
"(". Again, dc does not have this problem run in xterm.
This behaviour seems to be inheritable, because when start xterm not
directly from the window manager, but from aterm, both sh and dc have
"SHIFT" + "8" mapped to a backspace-like action. I checked the $TERM
variable, but that is always "rxvt" on aterm and "xterm" on xterm.
BTW, bc and vi run fine under all conditions, i.e. "(" is where it
should be.
So to conclude: There is something that sh, dc and ficl have in common
concerning how they interpret keys under X that does not work together
with aterm/rxvt/wterm, but runs fine with xterm. Then again, this
behavior seems to be inheritable.
Result: I am confused. Where is the problem? Is it my configuration,
something with xorg, something with rxvt/aterm/wterm or something with
sh/dc/...? How can I fix it, so that sh and dc will have the correct
keyboard mapping also in aterm?

Nice to have a recipe to get the porridge just right. ;-) I'm gonna take a stab at it over the next couple of days & I'll post results, but I _think_ I can get the Win98 fdisk onto a bootable floppy and then FAT32 & partition a hard drive from there. I seem to recall having done it about four years back, but i'm a bit fuzzy on the details at this moment. Need to pull my Win98 CD & some old tech references.

Re: ftp access Q's to ftp.freeBSD & mirrors
