https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292556 Bug ID: 292556 Summary: ipfw: Adding record failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device Product: Base System Version: 15.0-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michael@meiszl.de I don't know if this is a duplicate, the message seems to appear quite often. What I do (for many years already, the message just showed up with FBSD 15) is to load a List from AbuseIPDB, build a shell skript from the content and start it. This works well when started from a real shell manually, but if run from cron, it creates the error message for every line of the script. (Note, the entries are still added, the message is just annoying) + ipfw table 2 flush + ipfw table 2 add 18.211.148.239 ipfw: Adding record failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device added: 18.211.148.239/32 0 + ipfw table 2 add 192.3.179.41 ipfw: Adding record failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device added: 192.3.179.41/32 0 + ipfw table 2 add 193.24.211.200 ipfw: Adding record failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device added: 193.24.211.200/32 0 + ipfw table 2 add 115.133.68.171 ipfw: Adding record failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device ... (the remaing 1000+ lines are the same, so no need to list them here too) The script (head) is really simple: #!/bin/sh ipfw table 2 flush ipfw table 2 add 18.211.148.239 ipfw table 2 add 192.3.179.41 ipfw table 2 add 193.24.211.200 ipfw table 2 add 115.133.68.171 ipfw table 2 add 160.22.123.78 it is executed from a python script with a line like: subprocess.run('/bin/sh -x /tmp/ipfwtable2.sh', shell=True) (of course, the "-x" is just for debugging now, it is usually "+x")) Of course I could tell cron to throw away the output, but I want to be noted about possible errors that can result from wront entries in the list. So this is not a good option. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
