proxy-suite - problems at startup
by Ralf Ronneburger 16 Jun '04

Hi everyone, I've got proxy-suite running on a SuSE 9.0 (up2date). I've set up 2 proxy-servers in their chroots. I can start them with rcftpproxytest1 (or -2) start without any problems. But when they are started after boot via the startup-scripts I get the following error in boot.msg: ftp-proxy-test1 (com-syslog.c:279): can't open logfile '/var/log/ftp-proxy-test1.log' (errno=13 [Permission denied]) ftp-proxy-test2 (com-syslog.c:279): can't open logfile '/var/log/ftp-proxy-test2.log' (errno=13 [Permission denied]) The servers do not start. If I start them right afterwards manually everything is O.K.. My config says: LogDestination /var/log/ftp-proxy-test1.log Any ideas? Greetings, Ralf

ftp-proxy and active passive
by Andreas Meyer 25 Mar '04

25 Mar '04

Hello! I tried to use the ftp-proxy but had some problems with active-passive mode. I want to use active-mode for the clients to ftp to the proxy. In the netfilter-log I found this: Mar 24 09:34:25 cherry kernel: verw. TCP Paket IN= OUT=ppp0 SRC=82.139.196.116 DST=212.202.67.186 LEN=60 TOS=0x08 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=42628 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=3806 DPT=32896 WINDOW=5664 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 It seems passive-mode is used. So I had to explicitly open all high-ports on the firewall: iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP --sport 1024: --dport 1024: -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT Is there a way to force active-mode with the ftp-proxy? Thanks in advance! -- Andreas Meyer

Hi, I've used proxy suite on FreeBSD 4.9 for about a year now and it has always worked as it should. But recently I've getting these messages.... > pid 49840 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 49840 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 49875 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 49911 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 49929 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 49941 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 49979 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 49991 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 50072 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 50226 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 50320 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 50339 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 50444 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) > pid 50593 (ftp-proxy), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) etc. Anyone have any sugestions?

questions re DHCP/Bootp Relay on SUSE
by curious 12 Mar '04

1. Do Linux implementations of BOOTP/DHCP relay agent use UDP/Datagram Berkely sockets ? 2. On what port DHCP/Bootp server sends unicast BOOTPREPLY/DHCPREPLY UDP replies back to BOOTP/DHCP relay agent ? 3. RFC 1542 says: "Relay agent MUST silently discard any received UDP messages whose UDP destination port number is BOOTPC (68). " - so what the router (where Relay agent is resident) should do with such unicast packets whose UDP destination port number is BOOTPC (68), when they arrive on its interfaces ? Examine if the destination port is matching one of the router's own routing interfaces and drop such, if not matching - route those to the destination ? 4. What (its own) port BOOTP/DHCP relay agent uses to forward to: a) DHCP/Bootp server b) client 5. If BOOTP/DHCP relay agent resides on the router and BOOTPREQUEST/DHCPREQUEST flag indicates that the reply to client should be in BROADCAST mode - should BOOTP/DHCP relay agent/router send BROADCAST reply only on the interface, on which BOOTPREQUEST/DHCPREQUEST was originally received or across all interfaces (except the one on which BOOTREPLY/DHCPREPLY was received from the server) ? ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
