5:01 AM

I always felt funny when putting a NIC into "permissive mode."

tylerl

@WesleyDavid it's much more embarrassing when you realize it's call promiscuous mode

WesleyDavid

@tylerl Ah, right, that's the term I was searching for.

voretaq7

@tylerl Promiscuity is a network card's duty

WesleyDavid

Got my slutty IT terms mixed up.

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid with your regular slutty terms?

WesleyDavid

5:04 AM

@voretaq7 Don't make me reflect your private members.

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid . . . those are private members, kitty.

tylerl

IT help desk: "Well, ma'am, it looks like your computer's got a virus. You can see here that it's been in promiscuous mode for quite some time. We did warn you about proper protection you know. But don't worry, we've go a cream that'll clear it up an about 3 weeks"

WesleyDavid

(I a word)

voretaq7

you don't want to know what happens to kittehs that commit an access violation

WesleyDavid

WesleyDavid

voretaq7

5:13 AM

@MikeyB Something's wrong with the kitteh - stdin and stderr seem to share the same device node.

seems like a terrible design choice

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 <<_<< <_< O_O >_> >>_>>

tylerl

packets that traverse from external NIC to a bridge to a virtual interface never pass through the INPUT table, right? (iptables, btw)

MikeyB

@tylerl right they never hit the vif, they don't hit iptables.

voretaq7

@tylerl damned if I know - I use operating systems that have sensible semantics (in on <interface> / out on <interface>) :)

Adrian

evenin

tylerl

5:17 AM

@voretaq7 never could make sense of pf semantics

WesleyDavid

@Adrian schluuuuuurp

voretaq7

@tylerl I can say the same thing about iptables :)

pf is very Cisco like -- traffic is either coming IN to an interface or going OUT of an interface, and you do stuff to it in between

tylerl

@voretaq7 how's that different from iptables?

WesleyDavid

Install ALL the dependencies!! "Transaction Complete | Install 329 Package(s) | Is this ok [y/N]:" Install all the dependencies?? =(

voretaq7

@tylerl iptables seems to have a vague concept of traffic in and out in general (not per interface)

unless I've missed something all these years or the examples just never show how to do it -- all I've ever seen is the input and output chains and the pre/post routing chains

and the NAT functionality but that's a funky extra in pf too

tylerl

5:25 AM

this? blog.propter.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/PacketFlow.png

looking for canonical source for that diagrom

Adrian

@voretaq7 eh?

voretaq7

@tylerl wow... that's... disgusting

@Adrian eh eh?

Adrian

@voretaq7 the bit about IPTables not grokking interfaces.

Sure it does

ewwhite

RANT!!!

tylerl

@voretaq7 state transition for packets transiting kernel. And where the hooks are along the way for you to affect behavior (iptables, ebtables, iproute2)

voretaq7

5:28 AM

@Adrian as a rule component ("permit traffic inbound on eth0 from 192.168.0.1 to 10.0.0.1")?

tylerl

@voretaq7 -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.1 -d 10.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT

voretaq7

@tylerl as part of the magical "input chain" right?

tylerl

-i = input device -s = source IP -d = dest IP -j = decision -- input chain is consulted after the routing decision if it's decided that traffic is destined to a local process

voretaq7

idk, the architecture just doesn't make sense. All the components are there, but the instructions are in french

tylerl

PREROUTING chain is consulted before the routing decision

it's all very procedural. pf seems more declarative. It's like C vs SQL

voretaq7

5:31 AM

@tylerl that's a good way of describing it

pf tries to be like other firewalls

iptables tries to be that, plus other stuff

tylerl

i think iptables tries to be simple in design rather than simple in interface

Adrian

@voretaq7 Dude, it's stone simple with the interfaces.

-A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT

allow TCP connections on 1194 from eth1

voretaq7

@tylerl oh I'm leaving aside the fact that iptables rules look like the fucking sendmail.cf file

ewwhite

I'll never understand that stuff.

I need to ramp up quickly because we use iptables a ton at work

Adrian

Sendmail is much more difficult than IPTables. It's just not that hard.

tylerl

5:33 AM

the implementation is very transparent, but you have to visualize what's going on before you write the rules

voretaq7

@Adrian sendmail is easy once you understand the format of the cf file :)

Adrian

@ewwhite Hell of a lot easier than learning PUppet.

tylerl

@voretaq7 no one EVER understood the format of a cf file

voretaq7

@tylerl Um... me?

ewwhite

Yeah, I don't know puppet anymore either ;)

tylerl

5:34 AM

if they did they wouldn't have written M4

voretaq7

(we had a LOT of Sun systems that didn't have working M4, so you had to hand-fix .cf files)

ewwhite

All I know is storage and how to rant at stupid questions that don't provide enough info.

voretaq7

@Adrian to me that's as sensable as cW cF cS...

yes I know what it all means, but "pass in on eth0 proto tcp port 1194" I don't have to think about.

tylerl

@voretaq7 so how do you differentiate inbound traffic that gets routed outbound versus inbound traffic that gets processed locally?

voretaq7

@tylerl you don't - traffic is traffic

tylerl

5:40 AM

@voretaq7 of course it's traffic. But if I'm set up as a FW and I want to allow traffic to pass to the internal net, but i dont want said traffic to be allowed to a local process, can't you express that concept?

voretaq7

you can do it (via tagging), but you shouldn't - that's not a firewall concept

@tylerl You simply wouldn't allow the traffic to local IPs

Adrian

@voretaq7 honestly, that's not that far off the actual syntax. You just have to remember the -m clauses load the modules that you need.

voretaq7

(or alternatively you would explicitly block it)

@Adrian yeah, with pf you have to remember to load the appropriate kernel module (or some will autoload - otherwise you get yelled at when you try to load the rule - like if you try to use a queue without the queueing module loaded)

Adrian

@voretaq7 Well, there ya go. that much less difference after all

tylerl

5:43 AM

@K.KPatel looks like the sort of question that'll get closed in a hurry

voretaq7

@K.KPatel . . . are you seriously dropping a 15 minute old question on another site in here? Patience is a virtue - especially at 00:45 Eastern time on a Saturday.

Adrian

@voretaq7 I figured the 'ignore user' was easier than shouty shouty stabby stabby.

►

@Adrian well except that some modules are assumed (like the basic protocols - TCP, UDP, etc.)

Adrian

6:00 AM

@voretaq7 I usually still declare those for consistency.

voretaq7

@Adrian no need with pf but I always see it declared in iptables

hello gents

doing an SBS migration from Hell... one last NTBackup before I pull the trigger on the exmerge.

@gravyface When you put Windows on a server, every migration comes from hell

And frequently it all goes to hell before it's said and done

gravyface

3:33 PM

man these mailbox moves are taking FOREVER.

RobM

They always do when you'd rather be doing something else

gravyface

Exchange 2010 > Local Move Request and... nothing status wise, just refresh and wait for status change. could've sworn it used to show a progress bar.

RobM

I thought it do too. I think it even showed a progress bar when you did it via powershell...

gravyface

pretty sure sbs 2003 to 2008 had a progress bar.

wonder if I can query the status from powershell?

get more deets

RobM

Oh I don't know about SBS. I'm thinking of normal exchange interface.

gravyface

3:36 PM

the mailbox.edb hasn't grown since 4:54am so I'm a little concerned its stalled.

RobM

At the very least you should be able to query the information store on the new server

see what mailboxes are on there

gravyface

SBS has a pretty standard ECM for 2010.

where abouts would I do that? I was just looking at the .edb file on disk for a rough idea of size.

RobM

I wouldn't worry too much about that, explorer file sizes don't change reliably on open files. You might check the logfiles though, you should see churn there

gravyface

<--- feeble Exchange skillz

k

RobM

It's difficult as I don't have exchange at home to check exactly, but in exchange console on the new server you should be able to check which users have a mailbox there

@gravyface just remoted into work exchange server. I can only reach a 2007 server remotely but running the EMC on that, if you go into recipient configuration -> mailbox, you can see all the mailboxes in the forest. Right click on mailbox, add/remove columns and make sure the columns for server and database are visible, then you can sort by column to see what accounts are on what server

I think its roughly the same on ex2010

sorry, mailbox -> view -> add/remove columns

Adrian

feeling nostalgic today. listening to old Woodstock '99 live sets.

gravyface

I love how everyone's going the "Apple way" of providing very little feedback. Just a status, a green checkbox, maybe a progress bar. Because surely nothing can go wrong nor would we ever want to see details when babysitting a massively important task.

gravyface

5:11 PM

Pretty soon the progress bar will be replaced with a single tiny 2x2 pixel star that twinkles when it's finished.

gravyface

5:29 PM

I just don't get the mentality at MS. With so much cash (still) at their disposal, zero real enhancements. Like let's keep shuffling where menu items are (love how fun it is to try to find the message headers now on Outlook 2010) but lets not add the ability to have multiple Exchange accounts until finally, in 2010.

my SBS migration crapped out at a failed SharePoint move, couldn't map identities or something like that. And the install just "closes unexpectedly". Why wouldn't it say, "SharePoint failed to migrate. Would you like to ignore and continue with the migration?" or better yet, let me not choose Sharepoint when migrating as 99% of my clients never use it.

Adrian

@gravyface You assume that ther's direction at MS. I beg to differ. Think more inter-necine dogfights at every single possible level.

I suppose you could say that I've had a 3rd row seat to it for about 10 or so years now. Most of my riding buddies are MS employees, or were until recently.

gravyface

@Adrian that would require them to even communicate between the internal groups; I don't believe they do.

Michael Hampton

Telling you what's going on is completely against the Windows Way.

gravyface

tech support in Mumbai was like, "sigh, I feel you. We get hundreds of these calls a day in just our group alone"

Adrian

@gravyface Well, Backstabbing IS a form of communication.

gravyface

5:35 PM

@Michael lay it on my brother.

@Adrian listen to the Woodstock '69 sets instead :)

Michael Hampton

Error checking? Nah, don't need that either. Nothing could possibly go wrong! And if it does, well, somebody else will catch the exception...

Adrian

@gravyface My Dad has the 4 LP set on vinyl, actually. Which is pretty awesome. I'm missing the late 1990s a little this weekend. Most since someone pointed out to me that the 1990s are closer to "15 years ago" now than they are to "10 years ago".

gravyface

yeah, it'll be 20 years in April that I saw Nirvana live. :O

Adrian

5:50 PM

Aye. I never got to see Nirvana live. Grunge came very late to the area I lived in (Upstate NY). We'd barely started hearing it on the radio before he's passed on.

My previous GF has a favorite story about her high school years (late 80s). One of her friends' friends had a boyfriend that was a guitarist in a band. She wanted to have them come play for her birthday party and my ex-GF and her other friends told her "No, we Don't want to hear your crappy band." That guitarist was named Jerry Cantrell.

Alice in Chains.

RobM

@gravyface i take it the migration died then :-(

@adrian when I was a Microsoft MVP and got involved in a lot of stuff with the Windows team it surprised me how much infighting there was inbetween teams in the same division, never mind between divisions.

Companies who let their employees think their competitors are "those guys down the hall who have the ear of a VP" when they should be more worried about "those guys in silicon valley who are eating the whole companies lunch" are pretty much fucked.

Adrian

Yeah. MS did it to themselves though, and Ballmer played a bit part in that. Their GE-style "stack ranking" performance review system has done so much harm to that company that it's difficult to fully comprehend. Even IBM has pretty much ditched all the GE-style stuff from their review system.

RobM

I think Ballmer is the wrong CEO for that company. He might not have a big hand in the stuff that's gone wrong as such, but he's the kind of boss who won't put a stop to it...

He's the sort of blowhard you can imagine ignoring something that was correct because it came from a junior employee, and for all the bad things people can say about Gates, he always seemed more prepared to discuss whether something was right, not whether you were senior enough to be talking to him about it

Adrian

6:05 PM

No, but who's going to get rid of him? The company has become a reflection of his personality disorder. He's pushed out most of the talened people that are a serious replacement.

RobM

too true

There's still some bloody good people there, but not at a senior level

Adrian

@RobM Yes, and a whole pile of people are getting cut as they approach their vesting dates now too.

RobM

That's too bad. It's a shame to see that happen

Adrian

They're fscking up by the numbers over there. We'll see if they weather it.

6:17 PM

@RobM Eh, I don't mind. Being a 100% Linux guy, it doesn't impact me all that much.

RobM

Well not directly. I think we'd all feel the ripples if any of the big providers went under. I wouldn't (and don't take this the wrong way) want to have all my technology eggs in one basket personally. I feel a lot more secure having a mix of MS, *Nix and Mac in my background and getting the mix made me better at my job too

gravyface

@RobM migration is still trucking along... just waiting for the Local Move Requests to complete. Found some powershells that returns more statistics on the move, but that should be in the migration output by default.

RobM

Yes it should be. I'm sure that was the case the last time I did a move, maybe SBS hides some of that info. Don't know why it would

gravyface

@Adrian I wish Linux was where it is now back in the 80s; the IT world would be a different place without Quick and Dirty Operating System (qdos).

Adrian

6:21 PM

Very true. RMS and the hard-liners pretty much made sure that there wasn't a solid community movement though.

RobM

People like RMS bother me. As much as I still list geeking around with computers as a hobby, I'm worried about those that think its a religion

gravyface

well, GNU/Linux was just in its infancy in the 90s; and Berkeley (BSD) and AT&T and SCO and the fighting between gave Billy Boy a nice opportunity to slide in with his QDOS and "selling the OS separate from the hardware" deal he pulled on IBM.
http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch02s01.html#id2880014

RobM

The history of microsoft's rise is other companies simply making more mistakes than Microsoft - Novel sitting on their asses laughing at NT is a good example, too.

gravyface

and MS is dong the exact same thing watching Apple dominate them in innovation and mindshare.

RobM

Absolutely.

Apple and Google are in the lead ahead of Microsoft. They've got momentum, Microsoft don't. I can't see Microsoft going away any time soon... but I could see them becoming little more than a producer of back-end server solutions.

And fragmentation of Linux might be interesting, if Mint and Ubuntu decide that their competition is Apple, not Red Hat and Debian

RobM

gravyface

@Chopper3 except all of my clients with some vertical/niche LOB app that would never run on anything but Windows. :)

have a few lawyers that "think" they went to Macs. They now have the fancy Mac guys come in and work on their Mac server (Mac mini with Mac Server installed on it; no RAID, no redundant psu, etc.) and they all run Parallels with their Windows apps on it. But somebody forgot to mention that there's a still a Windows instance running (that's totally in violation of the OEM license) that never gets updated anymore.

...awesome part is that Windows VM is bridged on the LAN with it's own IP so any worm would happily see the neglected Windows VMs and commence pwnage.

That's gonna end well.

All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.0.2 are closed
