[leaf-user] DNAT:ssh how to restrict ?

2003-08-02 Thread Hein Bauer
Dear List,
I just dnatted my ssh port of Bering 1.0 to a sshd-server inside my
localnet. Works fine :-). But I am concerned about security I would
like to restrict ssh-logins from a list of  MAC-Addresses.
I had a look into /etc/shorewall/rules and tried net:~00-00-00-00-00-00
(-- somethin´ like that ;-))
Shorewall ouputs this:
no chain/target/match for that name
and .. exits..
Hm. I cannot use a IP-Adress for restriction, because it changes. The
ssh client got a dynamic IP..., so I would like to use MAC-Addresses.
Any hints ???

[leaf-user] Bering 1.0 IDE cdrom Device not found

2003-08-02 Thread Hein Bauer
Dear list !
I am trying to use two IDE-CDrom drives, I recently connected to my
Bering 1.0-Box loading of moduls succeeded, both drives are found while
loading the moduls. Manufacturer name and other stuff is recognized
correctly.
How do I access the devices ?

mount /dev/hd[ab] /mnt
results: no driver present  no device found
mount /dev/hd[cd] /mnt
misses: driver not found but also states:no device found
In both cdroms are CD's inserted...
(I actually do a mount of /dev/hda OR /dev/hdb, instead of /dev/hd[ab]
(-- regular expression)
reading the docs/faqs/mailarchives last night did not give a hint
Some DOCs on LEAF mention a device /dev/cdrom. This link does not exist.
I will eventually will create it, when I found the physical  to which it
can refer ;-)
The devicefiles /dev/hd[abcd] does exist.

I am _not_ trying to _boot_ from CD, I just need a second media to store
more moduls, which doesn't fit onto one floppydisk. I also could install
a second floppydriveif I had one ;-)
Thanks for any hints !

[leaf-user] DHCP client

2003-08-02 Thread Alexander Borghgraef
 Ok, I finally got the via-rhine driver installed, but now I can't get the
dhcp client running (I've got a cable modem internet connection). After
some browsing through the docs I noticed dhclient.lrp is not standard
included in Bering, which seems strange since the default network setup
is eth0 dhcp, eth1 fixed IP. Dhcpd.lrp is included though. Do I need the
dhclient package, or am I missing something? Also, are there any remote
login tools included in the standard boot disk?

[leaf-user] Bering's features of stateful inspection

Every (commercial) FW does have a feature named stateful inspection.
Whats about Bering ?
To prevent a discussion about What ist stateful inspection ? As far as
I know, it is nothing strictly defined, more a marketing name of Checkpoint.
Currently I got the task to connect 4 departures via VPN. I (obviously
;-)) tend to do it with Bering, so I need arguments belonging stateful
inspection. The customer currently tends to do it by a cisco-firewall or
something similar...
What appearently belongs to stateful inspection is conntracking.
Synflood protection too ?
I use Bering 1.0, therefor I don't know all new features...
Thanks alot for hints !

Do you have the iso9660 filesystem module loaded?  What about the IDE CD 
 modules (note you need more than the low-level IDE drivers, there are 
also modules for talking to a CD-ROM drive using the IDE bus)?  Assuming 
you have the modules loaded to support CD access, use:

mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hd[abcd] /mnt

You can also probably use the shortcut of /dev/cdrom, if the Bering init 
scripts still look for and create a /dev/cdrom symlink to the first 
cdrom device found (this feature was added to Dachstein, which Bering is 
based on, so it should probably work).

1. not every commercial FW incorporates stateful inspection
2. according to the NIST Guide to Firewall Selection and Policy 
Recommendations a stateful inspection fw is a packet filter that 
incorporates added awareness of the OSI data model, maintaining a 
stateful connection state table. Please refer to the Guide for a very 
clear explanation.
3. the iptables/shorewall based Bering distro contains all what you  
need for your task.

Re: [leaf-user] DHCP client

2003-08-02 Thread George Metz
To clarify, however...

Bering is indeed setup to use pump.lrp by default, and it works 
extremely well. HOWEVER, since Bering is set up so that you can use 
DHCP, PPP, or PPPoE with the default image, pump.lrp is NOT loaded by 
default in syslinux.cfg.

So, if you open up syslinux.cfg and add pump to the LRP= statement, 
you should have no issues getting your Bering box to grab an IP from 
your provider for eth0.

[leaf-user] using dyndns as a proxy for incoming packets [leaf-user]

Tom Eastep wrote:

Yes, I do fairly remember, MAC adresses is restricted to my LAN (on the 
same cable).
OK.

-- changing topic to DYNDNS --
Currently my FW accepts TCP connections only from 
myprivatnet.dyndns.info. So DYNDNS is a kind of (FTP)-Proxy to my firewall.
I hope I gain a little more security by restrict it as described. Others 
may not adress it directly by IP-adress. All incoming traffic to my 
firewall did pass security-checks from dyndns. (Before my firewall is 
flooded, dyndns is flooded ;-))
Yes, I know, there is hardly anyone out, who should be interested to 
flood my firewall.

As a second point of security I restricted FW2net (tcp) to dyndns only. 
loc2net is not restricted, only the firewall itself is restricted to 
members..something.dyndns.org (the dyndns-client needs contact to its 
server ;-))

comments welcome ;-)

Is this really an error message and not just an informational one? That is 
to say, does the game then fail to operate properly? If the game goes on to 
work, my own inclination would be to ignore the site's whining.

But assuming it is really an error message, what instruction does the site 
(or its companion URL) provide about how to configure access through a 
NAT'ing router?

The message by itself is simply too lean in content to figure out what they 
want from you. I'd **guess** that the game client at your end runs using a 
particular port, not just any available port. If so, you **may** need to 
port-forward that port through the LEAF router rather than simply use the 
standard NAT'ing code to handle it (since that code will not use the same 
external support every time you access the site).

Really, your best bet is to look more closely at the game site. These guys 
want their systems to work through NAT, so they usually provide good 
instructions about what you need to do to make it work. Once we know what 
they want, translating it into LEAF terms will probablty not be hard, and 
surely we can help with that part if you need it.

BTW, I'm assuming here that 4.47.177.158 is your external IP address. If 
not ... if, say, your ISP does some further NAT'ing upstream of you ... 
then fixing this may be more of a challenge.

[leaf-user] Question: Bering static DHCP configuration

2003-08-02 Thread Greg Playle
Thank you to all that have helped me learn a bit as I go.

My question now is:  I'd like to configure the internal network to ONLY 
assign IP addresses to certain machines.  I don't seem to have it correctly 
configured.  Could someone point me to something to read / learn about 
this?

I've checked the FAQ, read the User Guide and the Installation Guide, and 
Googled, but don't seem to find what I'm after.

I've got DHCP running, and assigning IPs quite nicely.

Unfortunately, it's also assigning IPs to what I think are other hosts. 
 I thought that, by only assigning particular IPs to particular MACs, the 
others would not receive addresses.

That leaves me with some options:
- restrict the netmask to only those few addresses
- somehow change the subnet mask.
- something else that restricts which IPs get assigned to which MACs

What haven't I learned yet?

My dhcp.config is like this:

dynamic-bootp-lease-length 604800;
max-lease-time 1209600;

host FirstHost {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00; # where the MAC addr is
fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
}

host SecondHost {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address 192.168.1.2;
}

host ThirdHost {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address 192.168.1.3;
}

#host ExcludeHost {
#   hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
#   fixed-address 192.168.1.4;
#}

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.254;
option domain-name name;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.254;

Maybe this app requires more than one port like H323. Port forwarding might

Really, your best bet is to look more closely at the game site. These guys
want their systems to work through NAT, so they usually provide good
instructions about what you need to do to make it work. Once we know what
they want, translating it into LEAF terms will probablty not be hard, and
surely we can help with that part if you need it.

BTW, I'm assuming here that 4.47.177.158 is your external IP address. If
not ... if, say, your ISP does some further NAT'ing upstream of you ...
then fixing this may be more of a challenge.
