A client wants me to set up a mechanism whereby his customers can drop files securely into directories on his FreeBSD server; he also wants them to be able to retrieve files if needed. The server is already running OpenSSH, and he himself is using Windows clients (TeraTerm and WinSCP) to access it, so the logical thing to do seems to be to have his clients send and receive files via SFTP or SCP.

I'm trying to make a function to turn a regular function into an S3 generic one. I want myMethod to be: function(x,...) UseMethod("myMethod") But I keep getting: function(x,...) UseMethod(func) Here's the function: toGeneric<-function(func) { env<-environment(get(func)) # default method of new generic = the original function

Hi all, I'm just setup a new freebsd to be a ftp server. ftp-ing from localhost was success, but when i was trying to ftp from other ip, got result "Connection closed by remote host." Kernel already configure with firewall (with options FIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT). rc.conf file already contain "firewall_type=open". What could be the problem? I can seem to solve this

Hi, I am using IPFW on FreeBSD 4.11 I am facing two problems: - SSH sessions timeout after a while - When I run "/sbin/ipfw -q -f flush" in the rules script all connection get reset (and I am thrown out of the box). Is this standard functioning of ipfw or do I need to change any configuration? Thanks, Siddhartha

I don't think I'm trying to do anything amazing, but IPFW's logging features are giving me a real headache. I can't find much in the archives either, but I find it hard to believe others havne't found this too. My rule: add 100 allow log tcp from any to <my IP> <ports> limit src-addr 2 I want connecting parties to be able to form no more than 2 connection. This

Hi list, I'm using asterisk to send alerts via phone or fax, by using the spool functionnality (writing files in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing). The system works, but sometimes a file in the outgoing directory is simply ignored by asterisk (nothing on the cli); the spool file is correct. It happenned only twice since the system is installed (about two months), but since it is an alert

Hi. On my FreeBSD 4.8 configured IPFW2+IPF+IPNAT and I use them all: - IPFW - traffic accounting, shaping, balancing and filtering; - IPFilter - policy routing; - IPNAT - masquerading. I want to know, how IP-packets flow through all of this components? What's the path? incoming: IPFW Layer2 -> IPFW&Dummynet -> IPNAT -> IPFilter ? outgoing: IPFW Layer2 ->

Hi, I'm using kernel FreeBSD 10.0-BETA3 #2 r257635 kernel. I am trying to add port number to ipfw tables. But there is something strange : Problem is easily repeatable. #ipfw table 1 flush #ipfw table 1 add 4899 #ipfw table 1 list ::/0 0 #ipfw table 1 flush #ipfw table 1 add 10.2.3.01 ( not 10.0.0.1, the last 1 has 0 as prefix ) #ipfw table 1 list ::/0 0 #ipfw table 1 delete ::/0

Hello to everybody. I was wondering... is there a way to force wine to use always highest possible refrash rate - when I ran a game in Fullscreen? I ask because - for excample my good old Incubation works flawless on wine (testet with wine 0.9.27 and 0.9.28) but when I switch to fullscreen(640x480 for this game) the refresh rate is only at 60 HZ - and my eyes hurts after a while...

Hi, Two quick questions that I can't seem to find answers for using google. 1) is is possible to listen outside an ipfw firewall - that is have ethereal record the packets before ipfw starts dropping them? If so how? 2) Is there an api to ipfw that will let me manipulate rules, query stats etc? I need something faster than running the command line binary? Thanks John

Hi all: I have strange probelm with rc.conf. I set up ipfw (compiled into kernel) on freebsd-5.4 and it doesn't seem to load ipfw rulesets (it uses default ruleset 65335 locking out everything). I have to do "sh /etc/ipfw.rules" in order to load the rulesets, once I did that, I can access the box from remote locations here is my rc.conf: host# more /etc/rc.conf

Dear All. I want to use 'not' for 2 addresses (for both) in ipfw2 rule. The only way that looks like what I need is # ipfw add count from IP1 to not IP2,IP3 But does this rule indeed makes what I want? Does it count all packets destined to addresses other then IP2 AND IP3?! No other syntax works. For example more logically correct not IP2 AND not IP3 or even not { IP2 or IP3 } are

Hi peeps, After compiling ipfw into the new 6.2 kernel, and typing "ipfw list", all I get is: "65535 deny ip from any to any" From reading the docs, this might indicate that this is the default rule. (I am certainly protected this way--but can't be very productive ;^) ) By the way, when I run "man ipfw" I get nothing. Using this instead:

Hi, i've set the outside ip for the jail..It works.. When i try to ssh to jail'ed system from the main system (in which is created jail) the connection is successful, but when i try to connect to jailed system from anywhere else i get this message: ssh: connect to host IP_NUMBER port 22: Operation timed out What can be wrong here? How to solve this problem?

I am trying to limit outgoing SMTP traffic to about 14 Mbps and these are the IPFW rules I am using. ${fwcmd} add pipe 1 tcp from 192.168.0.0/24 to any 25 out via dc0 ${fwcmd} pipe 1 config bw 14Mbit/s I've tried multiple tweaks to the pipe rule and I seem to be missing something. I only get about half the bandwidth I specify. Is this normal behavior? Is there something wrong

Hi, I need to know what the implications are to make use of the hosts.allow file on a FreeBSD Production Server (ISP Setup)? The reason I'm asking, is that I've recently decommisioned a Linux SendMail Server to a FreeBSD Exim Server, but with no Firewall (IPTABLES) yet. Besides the fact that it only runs EXIM and Apache, is it necessary to Configure rc.Firewall? or can I only make use of

I have a grown list of IPs that I am "deny ip from ###.### to any". Infected machines, hackers, etc.. Is there a way to have this list outside of rc.firewall and just read it in?
