New FreeBSD v5.3RC1 released
 

Hya guys :),
This more addressed to Karl than to anyone else but anyway, it has been made available the 1st Release Candidate of the new FreeBSD v5.3.
Currently downloading it :twisted:
Cheers

YEEEAHHHHHH :!: :lol:


Thanks Rui :)
I guess there will be one more, RC2, and then the final release :)
BTW Rui, I installed M0NoWall on a 32MB USB Pen Drive 8O 8O
It booted like a charm :!:

-kwag

:D Great!
Which image did u use?
What do you think about it?
Is it good compared with smoothwall?
I mean if you only look at it as a Firewall with VPN support and WiFi AP mode ;-)
Keep us updated on your experiences with it and please let us know what hardware was involved and the features you're currently using.
Cheers buddy :D

I used the generic PC image, and "dd'ed" (raw written) it into my 32MB "Pen Drive", with space to spare :lol: :D I just booted it on my PC workstation to test it, but sadly, the machine I use as firewall doesn't boot from USB :(
So I just changed the BIOS option on my workstation just to test it, and it booted fine right into the main configuration menu :)
I'll have to burn the CD image to test it on my firewall, which will be late tonight ;)

Keep posting, I'm enjoying it ;-)
Cheers buddy

About to reboot my firewall, and run M0NoWall now ;)
Later ...........

-kwag

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work like a charm :lol:
Cheers

You can breathe now Rui :lol:
M0NoWall is up and running ;)
I configured Traffic shaper, and it works great :!:
I'm connected through the firewall right now.
I'll be playing with the other options for a while now :)

M0N0Wall dumped :!: :x :x :x
Can't redirect ports 4662 (very important for me!) to my workstation.
Just doesn't work :!: :x

-kwag

Back on my Good'ol custom FreeBSD firewall :)

-kwag

Hey :!:
I know that port :lol:
And I bet my *ss that it's gotta work.
Remember my cousin?
He's working with m0n0wall and he's making use of that specific port.
Are you sure you did everything by the book?
Maybe I'll ask Jose if he know a trick or something.
Don't give up :lol:
Cheers pal

Please ask him :!:
Because I tried every option, and I could just not get it to work (you know, the program on that port :lol: )
So please let me know :cool:

-kwag

Sure I know, and it's not only that port, there's at least another one you'll need, and that is if you don't need to control that tool remotely otherwise you'll need a 3rd one ;-)
No sweat, I'll give him a call on skype tonight 8)
Hopefully he'll know what we're doing wrong.
Cheers

Thing is, I tried opening a whole block of ports, even UDP, and still nothing.
I have exactly the same rules on my regular FreeBSD firewall, and they work flawlessly. :roll:

-kwag

Still haven't been able to reach him :roll:
Maybe I have more luck at night.
Karl, there's got to be a way, after all m0n0wall is based on FreeBSD 8)
And Jose is currently using it at home, not to mention he is installing it with Soekris boards and cases on his customers which also use those particular ports :P
Stay tuned ;-)
Cheers

Yes, but there's no shell (telnet/ssh) that I can access, and check the firewall rules.
What I did was I telnetted to an external system, and telnetted back to my server, trying the ports, and they are all closed.
Are you sure Jose has this working?
Maybe some ports work, and others don't :!:
Ask him if he can try the same ports I did.
This is the issue I wrote the E-Mail back to the developer of M0n0, a long time ago. Ok. maybe it's an issue with some particular ports :roll:

-kwag

NEAT :D
I'll check it out ASAP!!
I've been waiting for this 5.3 core for many many time.
Thanks for the tip Karl ;-)
Cheers

Hi Rui,

Last night I sent Manuel an E-Mail, asking him about the possibility of doing a m0n0wall version in NetBSD :)
Let's see what he replies ;)

-kwag

Great ;-)
Keep us updated :D
Cheers
