Hello, I am a UNIX/FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE newbie. I have posted several times to freebsd-newbies, but I think this question will get better reception here. I have installed Free-BSD-5.3-RELEASE full base installation with X. I am currently trying to configure my firewall. I have followed the instructions in the Handbook explicitly, though I didn't add any scripts to my ipf.rules file. My ipf.rules file is verbatim from the Handbook, though I altered some of the commented out sections; the rules themselves are verbatim. I am having a difficult time with this specific section: > # Allow out access to my ISP's DHCP server for cable or DSL > networks. > # This rule is not needed for 'user ppp' type connection to the > # public Internet, so you can delete this whole group. > # Use the following rule and check log for IP address. > # Then put IP address in commented out rule & delete first rule > pass out log quick on dc0 proto udp from any to any port = 67 keep > state > #pass out quick on dc0 proto udp from any to z.z.z.z port = 67 keep > state Please help. How do I find the IP address referenced in the fourth #? Where is the log file that is referenced in the fourth #? If I need to use find, whereis, locate, or some other command line search tool to find the log file, please write out the details for me, because I am really struggling with command line syntax at this point. I have clearly suffered from too much exposure to the point and click world. Thank you! Mark P.S. Please let me know if I haven't provided enough information.
