you could

1. use 'me' (without quotes) to represent the ip address in rc.firewall

OR

2. hack up an /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks which grabs the new ip address and
   reruns rc.firewall with this new address

Thanks - I'm going to give the Stateful + NATD rule set a try.

The handbook Firewall section has been rewritten.

It's temporally available from www.a1poweruser.com/FBSD_firewall/
as the Doc group works to sanitize the English.
It incorporates the long awaited solution to
getting ipfw + natd + stateful rules to function together,
as well as OpenBSD pf firewall which is scheduled to become
the third built in firewall software solution delivered with
the FreeBSD install when 5.x ever makes it to the stable branch.

Subject: DHCP and the "SIMPLE" option in /etc/rc.firewall

I am setting up a firewall for a gateway/router running FreeBSD
4.10.

This is for a small home LAN.

I have already compiled and installed a custom kernel with the
IPFIREWALL
and IPDIVERT options and configured the firewall to pass any to any
without
any problems - now it's time to start locking it down.

I would like to use the firewall_type="SIMPLE" option rc.conf.  But
I'm not
sure how I should set up my external nic in /etc/rc.firewall, i.e:

# set these to your outside interface network and netmask and ip
oif="ed0"
onet="192.0.2.0"
omask="255.255.255.240"
oip="192.0.2.1"

My outside interface is connected to a cable modem and is configured
for
DHCP

Without a static IP address for my outside interface, how do I set
these
options?

TIA for your help.

Jim C.

DHCP and the "SIMPLE" option in /etc/rc.firewall

2004-07-30 Thread James A. Coulter
I am setting up a firewall for a gateway/router running FreeBSD 4.10.

This is for a small home LAN.

I have already compiled and installed a custom kernel with the IPFIREWALL
and IPDIVERT options and configured the firewall to pass any to any without
any problems - now it's time to start locking it down.

I would like to use the firewall_type="SIMPLE" option rc.conf.  But I'm not
sure how I should set up my external nic in /etc/rc.firewall, i.e:

# set these to your outside interface network and netmask and ip
oif="ed0"
onet="192.0.2.0"
omask="255.255.255.240"
oip="192.0.2.1"

My outside interface is connected to a cable modem and is configured for
DHCP

Without a static IP address for my outside interface, how do I set these
options?

TIA for your help.
