Re: how to filter network by MAC and IP at the same time
hi Bill,
afaik, in your case the packets checked twice against the ipfw-rules - once
for the layer2-filtering part and 2nd time for the ip-filtering part.
1st enable filtering on ethernet demux/eth. output frame:
# sysctl net.link.ether.ipfw=1
then start your fw-script:
# -- sniplet from fw-script -- #
iif=em0
ip_client=192.168.123.45
ether_client=88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd
ether_broadcast=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
${fwcmd} add 10 pass MAC ${ether_broadcast} ${ether_client} via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 20 pass MAC any ${ether_client} via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 21 pass MAC ${ether_client} any via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 30 pass ip from ${ip_client} to any via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 31 pass ip from any to ${ip_client} via ${iif}
# -- sniplet from fw-script -- #
this results in:
# ipfw show
00010 128 allow ip from any to any MAC ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff \
88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd via em0
00020 74 9564 allow ip from any to any MAC any 88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd via em0
00021 87 85336 allow ip from any to any MAC 88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd any via em0
00030 74 9564 allow ip from 192.168.123.45 to any via em0
00031 86 85290 allow ip from any to 192.168.123.45 via em0
65535 487 35078 deny ip from any to any
Most of this logic is described in the section PACKET FLOW section in man
ipfw.
Note that as packets flow through the stack, headers can be stripped or
added to it, and so they may or may not be available for inspection.
E.g., incoming packets will include the MAC header when ipfw is invoked
from ether_demux(), but the same packets will have the MAC header
stripped off when ipfw is invoked from ip_input() or ip6_input().

it is not working , all the traffic will be block by the deny !!! how come

Well, for one thing if I understand your intent, you have the MAC
addresses in the wrong order. Unless your firewall is acting as a
bridge, you also need to keep in mind that the MAC addresses are changed
when passing through, so those rules will only work on one side (i.e.,
you'll need in via type rules).
but it doesnt work. also found the explanation on google, someone
already asked this question before.
I don't understand. Was there a suggested approach or not?
but I did not find the solution for this requirement. can someone tell
me
how ? thanks in advance.
I can't guarantee this will work, and I don't have any way to test it,
but my above comments would suggest something more like:
ipfw add 1 allow all from IP Address 1 to any MAC any MAC Address
in via $iif
ipfw add 1 allow all from any to IP Address 1 MAC MAC Address 1
any out via $oif
Good luck.

No, that's ok. The synchronization takes some minutes. The '1' indicates that PLL updates enabled, but it doesn't tell you much about the actual PLL/FFL mode. About weak batteries - I run ntpd on a i386 machine that had no battery inserted w/o any problems. I am still not sure why we do not see the new NTP4 mode shift to FLL, as with the FreeBSD computer. Maybe the /var/log/messages are just implemented differently on NetBSD 2.02. I will watch it occasionally with 'ntpdc -c kerninfo | grep status'. This NetBSD clock is also set to UTC and it seems that I recall that UTC can be improperly implemented when the computer previously had Microsoft Windows installed. The answer to your question is quite simple. The status bit STA_MODE hasn't been implemented in netBSD.

If it were already running, I could understand, but my point is that I've been pretty thorough in determining that it is my first attempt to run it that gets this error message. I have also tried running ntpdate before starting ntpd, or not doing it. If I do it, it works correctly, indicating that ntpd is not running, becuase ntpdate will fail if ntpd is running. I have also NOT run ntpdate first (after a reboot) just to prove to myself that there's nothing residual it could leave that would make ntpd complain about this. It's very puzzling! OK. Get this. I just generated a custom kernel to get rid of all the good stuff that this laptop will never support. It just so happens to be a couple of days later (in CVS terms) than the one I was running. I decided to take a chance and just do the installkernel rather than install the whole world. Now ntpd works. I didn't change any config files, DNS, or anything else - just installed my custom kernel. I still get an error message, but now it simply says no IPv6 interfaces found and runs successfully. Go figure. My best guess is that my prior cvsup of 5-STABLE had something in the kernel environment and ntpd slightly out of sync, with ntpd being ahead of the kernel, and now, even though I didn't do an installworld, that skew was resolved. While rare, it is the possibility of this skew that makes me uncomfortable with cvsup - but having no better plans, I'll keep using it! I may have to figure out how to maintain a local release tree that is behind the -STABLE tree, or something. I truly do not know what the right answer is. Wow! Now my mind is REALLY blown!

Re: gmirror: replacing failed disks
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Sunday 16 January 2005 21:14, Doug Poland wrote: Hello, I've got a bootable gmirror running on identical SATA drives on 5.3-STABLE. The technique I've used to build the gmirror can be found on http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/gmirror, under the heading GEOM mirror Approach 2: Single Slice, Preferred, More Flexible. Now I'd like to experiment with replacing a failed drive. This particular box has hot-swappable drives, so all I need to do is pull a drive out while the box is running. The man page states: One disk failed. Replace it with a brand new one: gmirror forget data gmirror insert data da1 (My system has a provider gm0s1 with ad4 and ad6 as consumers, so I'll use those device names) Simulate ad4 failing: pull the drive put the drive back in, reboot if necessary to detect drive After you put the drive in, you can try to attach or reinit the controller channel where it's connected to with the command 'atacontrol'. If you put the same drive in, and you haven't zeroed the bootblocks and the slicetable (on ad4) geom will recognice that the missing disk has been re-attached and will start rebuilding. If you want to simulate insertion of a blank disk, run the 'gmirror forget' command before you re-attach disk ad4. Then dd the first few blocks and the last sector of the old slice, where the gmirror metadata are stored. You can do this by 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=1 skip=n', where n=number of sectors to be skipped. In your case it's better, if you check where the metadata are stored. Maybe they are stored at the end of your disk. I think of this because of your gmirror list output, where ad4 and ad6 are listed as consumers. # gmirror forget gm0s1 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=79 You are missing the operator here. # size=`fdisk ad6 | grep ', size ' | head -1 | sed -e 's;^.*size \([0-9]*\).*$;\1;'` (echo p 1 165 63 $size; echo a 1) | fdisk -v -B ^^ -f- -i /dev/ad4 OR # fdisk -v -B -I /dev/ad4 # gmirror insert gm0s1 /dev/ad4s1 (Now wait two hours for the drives synchronize) That should work, yes? How does gmirror know about /dev/ad4s1 if that drive was previously unformatted or brand new? That should work, if you create the slice with 'fdisk -v -B -I /dev/ad4', but on the other hand, it would be very interresting, if gmirror really handles the consumers as they are displayed by your gmirror list command. I would blank disk ad4 (as I described above) and see what happens when you issue the command 'gmirror insert gm0s1 /dev/ad4'. Maybe gmirror handles drives with one slice that covers the whole drive, as disks (instead of slices)? I would give it a try. (If you try this, please could you post or pm me the 'gmirror list' output? Thank you!)

The dd command only makes sense if you insert whole disks (ie. /dev/ad4 and /dev/ad6) as providers. Otherwise you need to create (or already have) a valid slice table on the disk, which enables gmirror to locate and insert your slice. One of my problems was incorrect partition sizes when I created the bsdlabel for /dev/mirror/gm0s1. I didn't really know what I was doing nor did I understand the consequences of my actions ;) :) (!) Before you start to correct your gmirror setup, please read all of my comments, because to me it looks like you run a mirror of ad6 and not ad6s1. I'm not sure why gmirror label shows that but it's definately misleading. Since this is a brand-new box with nothing but a minimal install, I decided to re-install 5.3-R.

Should I get rid of it? If you have a modern machine the BIOS (hopefully) can boot from every harddisks that has a partition/slice on it with the active flag set. I for myself use a bootmanager on every gmirror disk. You can install it with boot0cfg(8) or sysinstall (I only would use boot0cfg, if your mirror already has been set up). So I can safely remove /boot.config? Otherwise wouldn't the boot stage 2 loader always then load boot stage 3 off disk 2? Yes, I would remove it. I think, in case, that disk ad6 breaks, the system won't boot w/o manual interaction. In general, it's the best, if you do some real life testing by pulling powercables off the drives. Normally you should be able to replace a disk on a running system.

The dd command only makes sense if you insert whole disks (ie. /dev/ad4 and /dev/ad6) as providers. Otherwise you need to create (or already have) a valid slice table on the disk, which enables gmirror to locate and insert your slice. (!) Before you start to correct your gmirror setup, please read all of my comments, because to me it looks like you run a mirror of ad6 and not ad6s1. First you want to stop the mirror, you accidently started on ad4 (as seen in your 'gmirror list' output): # gmirror stop -v mirror Then remove the gmirror metadata from ad4: # gmirror remove -v mirror /dev/ad4 Clean out the first few sectors on ad4: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=79 Write out slice table where the only slice on te disk is ad4s1 (**: # fdisk -v -B -I /dev/ad4 After that go on with your procedure to add /dev/ad4s1 to mirror gm0s1: # gmirror configure -a gm0s1 (** Your 'gmirror list' output below looks like your mirror gm0s1 doesn't use /dev/ad6s1 as provider, it more likely uses /dev/ad6. So if this is the case, you may want to mirror the whole device (/dev/ad4), instead of the slice (/dev/ad4s1). Also, in this case don't use command 'fdisk -v -B - -I /dev/ad4', because MBR and slice table will be copied from ad6.

If you want to re-fdisk and re-bsdlabel ad4 it's necessary that the disk isn't mounted and that it isn't locked by vinum (see also 'man 4 vinum', chapters RUNNING VINUM and AUTOMATIC STARTUP). IMHO there is only one thing that can go wrong with your configuration: If you are booting your system from the mirror, I would test if both of your drives are bootable. - -- Christian Hiris [EMAIL PROTECTED] | OpenPGP KeyID 0x3BCA53BE OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBxNof09WjGjvKU74RAtgWAJ98M9KSoTPsHJU3Ba+JTHrNN2QdmwCfTmwy bFFRyDuNRfAwc3f1R/6PbeI= =j26F -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AFAIK the define is named DSP_BUFFSIZE (in src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.h. DSP_BUFFSIZE can be used to define the default buffersize for sound drivers, but most of the sound drivers use their own defines. If you want to change the default buffersize for a sound driver you need to search for a define like xxx_BUFFSIZE, where xxx is the name of the sound driver (maybe some developers use other naming-conventions). ie., if you want to change the default buffersize of the ESS driver you need to change the line #define ESS_BUFFSIZE (4096) in src/sys/dev/sound/isa/ess.c. If you use the sbc driver, you need to do this changes in sb8.c or sb16.c, depending on the soundcard you are using. sbc.c is only the code for the corresponding bridge driver. However, I'm not a guru, so I can't guess, if a driver works better with any other buffer size defined, than the original one. - -- Christian Hiris [EMAIL PROTECTED] | OpenPGP KeyID 0x3BCA53BE OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBv9zz09WjGjvKU74RAtNOAJ4wAZwaRAC3cGywvLB9fGftObId0ACdGGGh nCoW63okjf5L5LRPyidM2JA= =R3es -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Since the pcm module can be loaded independently of the hardware drivers, hw.snd.maxautovchans can store how many virtual channels any devices which are attached later will be given. --- So maxautovhans is only applicable if you loaded sound support as a kernel module and not compile it into the kernel? No, (speaking for the 5.3-STABLE branch) sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans also works, if sound support has been compiled into your kernel. You can set the sysctl via /etc/sysctl.conf or /boot/loader.conf or commandline. According to 'man 4 sound', sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans holds the maximum number of vchans, that the system will be allowed to create.

Should I disable log-in-vain or somehow allow these through? The log-in-vain sysctl only controls logging behavior, it has no influence on how the packets are handled. Rejecting the identd packets or running an identd server might speed up your mailservices. It's possible that a mailservice like smtp waits until it gets a reply from your identd service. In the worst case it waits until network timeout is reached. This probably depends on your blackhole(4) sysctl settings. On how to run several types of identd services see /etc/inetd.conf - look out for the predefined auth services - and 'man 8 inetd'. Or simply reject the connection requests by your firewall, by sending a RST, discarding the packet is not sufficient in this case. AFAIK know SMTP servers try to gain some information (like username and systemname) from a clientsystem via identd. So if you decide to enable identd, better check your mail-headers afterwards.

The rest of my mail comes from remote accounts or POP3.
If you don't like to read the messages in your logs, you can add two firewall
rules to your firewall-config (assuming you run ipfw):
${fwcmd} add 90 reject tcp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 113 via lo0
${fwcmd} add 91 reject udp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 512 via lo0
The rules must be placed before the rule where you allow all traffic that goes
via lo0:
# ipfw show | grep lo0
00090 1 64 reject tcp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 dst-port 113 via lo0
00091 0 0 reject tcp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 dst-port 512 via lo0
00100 0 0 allow ip from any to any via lo0
Because the packets are rejected by the firewall now, they do not reach the
point where the kernel processes the code for sysctl MIB log_in_vain on the
packets. So they are no longer logged.
Rejecting maybe prevents sendmail of a 60 second delay, because it no longer
needs to wait for a identd reply. I don't know too much about the sendmail
code, so I'm not 100 pct. sure about how sendmail handles identd timeouts.
When you run a small home-network it's more a kind of academic discussion, you
probably can live with this as is.

but I see the scanner still belongs to user root and group scanner...
Anyone an idea?
You probably need to change the corresponding /dev/usbN device nodes, too (I
must say that, I never tested this with devfs.rules). In my experience
sane-find-scanner steps thru the usb devices and exits, if it hasn't proper
permissions on a usb device node. For real-life scanning apps like xsane and
xscanimage you can define SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE in your environment. This
should stop the apps from stepping thru the usb device nodes.
JFYI:
There is a (dirty) way to work around the needs of adding users to a scanner
specific group. You can set /dev/uscanner0 and the corresponding /dev/usbN to
world read- and writeable via usbd and usbd.conf.
% cat /etc/usbd.conf.my
# Scanners
device Scanner
devname uscanner[0-9]+
attach chmod 666 /dev/${DEVNAME} ; chmod 666 /dev/usb0
detach chmod 660 /dev/usb0
% cat /etc/rc.conf | grep usb
usbd_enable=YES # Run the usbd daemon.
usbd_flags=-c /etc/usbd.conf.my # Flags to usbd (if enabled).
But this method also opens a can of worms:
All devices nodes down to the usb device to where your scanner is connected to
must be set world read- and writeable. ie. when you connect your scanner
to /dev/usb1 the devices /dev/usb0, /dev/usb1 and /dev/uscanner0 must be set
to mode 666. For this reason, I attached my scanner to /dev/usb0. To work
around this, you can define SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE as mentioned above.

Kernel time discipline (and probably kernel time discipline messages) could be disabled via ntpdc control message's or ntpd config-file's disable kernel option.

I assumed that the gnome2-fifth-toe package would install everything it neeeded itself, but obviously not, since i had to install gnome2session and gnome2controllcenter myself from ports just to get gnome to work at all. I'm still having a number of problems with it though; First install the gnome2 meta-port/package, then install gnome2-fifth-toe. This should fetch all required run-time dependencies. You can read a lot of FreeBSD related information about gnome here: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html 1. gdm seems not to be not starting up (and yes i have replaced xdm with gdm in my /etc/ttys) You overlooked gdm's pkg-message. You can re-view it by using the pkg_info command 'pkg_info -D gdm2'. 2. Even when gnome starts up alot of the packages installed by fifth toe (such as the GIMP, gstreamer, totem and many more) are not showing up in the applications menu. Gimp and Totem should show up in the apps menu, if they are installed. Maybe there are some gnome2 dependencies missing on your system, so things don't work as expected. Gstreamer is a development framework, not a media-player. 3. gaelon browser operates VERY VERY slowly 4. dialogs popup on startup displaying error messages about one of the applets gnome attempted to start on the menu bars (but only for one of the applets) What says the message-text? 5. standard packages like unzip for tar balls are not present. if i right click a tar ball there is no unzip or extract option. The archive manager's online help says that If you have the appropiate command-line tools installed on your system This means you need to decide which archivers you want to use and install them. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/archivers.html shows a list of FreeBSD archiver ports.

The FreeBSD Handbook from The FreeBSD Documentation Project, and Frequently Asked Questions from the same place. They give some information about Xorg. Typing 'startx gets me to a graphical screen similar to the setup screen used in xorg -config. My only option was to hit Ctrl-Alt-Back_Space to get out of it. I then tried to use xdm -config. I get to the point where it asks for name and password. This is mentioned in the handbook. There is no security level set, so the system is at it's default level. I'm logged in as root, so I type root and my root password. It loops back to the same menu each time that I do this. Any other input here just produces a wrong name. It won't accept a blank input either. Possibly you haven't entered an entry for your windowmanager in your .xinitrc or .xsession file. startx uses .xinitrc, xdm uses .xsession. 'man xdm' explains which files are used by xdm and where they are located. Look for errors listed in ~/.xsession-errors, if you use xdm. (At this point, I was looking for the author, a rope, and a tall tree. My 2nd option was to send this email) Is there a secret code to getting into Xorg and setting it up for Gnome?
