[leaf-user] copy Bering floppy to CF card

2005-12-11 Thread Chera Bekker

Hello List,

Right now I am running a Bering uclib firewall from a floppy. I am 
thinking of buying an IDE CF reader to boot the firewall from a CF card. 
What would be the easiest way to copy the contents of my current Bering  
floppy to a CF card which is mounted as /dev/hda1 and to make the CF 
card bootable?


Thanks for any help.

Regards

Chera Bekker

There is no functional difference, only the different program used to
accomplish the same (dhcpd verus dnsmasq).

[leaf-user] Lots of port probes.

2005-12-11 Thread Jim Ford
I'm seeing lots of probes, mainly UDP, targetting ports 1025 to 1032 on my 
firewall.
I've had a look at grc.com (very informative) and it seems that these ports are
targetted by trojans. Is what I'm seeing an attempt to see if a trojan has 
opened 
any of these ports?

Wish I could understand what's going on. Sometimes I feel I should just shrug my
shoulders and put my trust in Tom Eastep's excellent work, but I feel that 
_some_
knowlege gives me at least a little power over the brds out there!

Yes -- it's just noise.

To cut down on the amount of clutter appearing in my firewall log, I silently 
blacklist certain traffic.

In shorewall.conf, I set BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL="". Then 
in /etc/shorewall/blacklist, I have the equivalent of:

0.0.0.0/0   tcp 57
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 1023
0.0.0.0/0   udp 1025:1032
0.0.0.0/0   udp 1434
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 1433
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 2745
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 3127
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 3410
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 4899
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 5554
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 8081
0.0.0.0/0   tcp 9898

I took a quick look, but I'm not sure if if can be easely modified (at
least not by me :)) It heavely depends on bash and Debian debconf. But
maybe parts of it are usable.

Re: [leaf-user] copy Bering floppy to CF card

2005-12-11 Thread Eric Spakman
Hello Chera,

The easiest way is to use initrd_ide.lrp (with ide boot modules) from:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/bering-uclibc/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=3&MMN_position=3:3
if you are using Bering-uClibc 2.3.x
If you are using Bering-uClibc 2.2.x, you can find initrd_ide with 2.4.26
modules in:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/20/2.4.26/

Rename the initrd_ide.lrp package to initrd.lrp

Read the documentation on
"http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/buci-ide.html";
on how to setup Bering-uClibc to use on CF. You can use the configured
packages from your floppy, so you shouldn't have to change a lot.

[leaf-user] syslog message: firewall kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.

2005-12-11 Thread Chera Bekker

Hello List,

I have noticed that when running a p2p client behind my Bering firewall 
my syslog gets flooded with the message:


|firewall kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.|
||
Allmost all entries in /proc/net/ip_conntrack pointed to the internal 
machine running the client.


|I noticed that the value in |/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max was 
set to 1024. I have increased this value to 4096 which seems to have put 
a (temporary?) lid on things. My question is if the increase in the 
number of connections will somehow have a negative impact on the 
performance of the firewall?


Any information is appreciated.

Regards

Chera Bekker

Hello Chera,

There is some information about this setting in the following
Bering-uClibc guide and the links section in this guide.
