In Other BSDs for 2013/09/21

Finally, a quieter week.

pfSense (which I use at work; performs great) has updated to 2.1, and now offers a ‘Gold‘ subscription program.
FreeBSD has a new iSCSI target and initiator. (World rebuild needed and again)
FreeBSD’s bxe(4) now supports the BCM57712 and BCM578XX.
FreeBSD now can build LLDB, though you have to do it on purpose.
FreeBSD’s arcmsr(4) driver for Areca hardware has been updated. (Areca supports BSD; buy them)
NetBSD has Renesas and ASIX AX88179 USB support.
NetBSD has a preliminary NVIDIA Geforce driver.
NetBSD has updated to dhcpcd-6.1.0.
NetBSD has updated to tzcode 2013e.
QNAP V200 boards all have the same MAC? Weird.
OpenBSD updated a large number of xenocara windowing parts.
The pkgsrc-2013Q3 freeze is on from now to the 29th.

Avoiding non-routeable IPs

It’s possible your Internet service provider uses a non-routeable IP range (like 10.*) and occasionally your border device picks that up via DHCP by accident instead of an Internet address. If that happens to you, and you’re using DragonFly as your border gateway, it’s possible to prevent it with PF dhclient.

Matching configs with ipsets, except when you don’t need to

I am somewhat entertained by Michael W. Lucas’s most recent blog post about IP Sets. This is mostly because, as he points out, he could use one pf config file across multiple machines and BSDs for network management, but has to fiddle with ipsets to get different Linux machines to match.

NAT with pf, redux

DragonFly versions >=2.6 and ipfw don’t seem to get along for doing network address translations. I’ve posted about this before, but I’m linking again because this time I have the explicit config lines written out.

I should probably create a pf category…
