Package: kfreebsd-image-9 Version: 9.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear kbsd kernel maintainers,
In the transition from 8 to 9 kernel series, pflog device was disable on compile-time configuration. Honestly, I spend just a few minutes looking around the debian-kbsd list trying to find whether there's a possible reason to back this difference, but apparently there's not. So, I've recompiled 9.0-1 version for amd64 arch with pflog device on and I've been using it some time now, no issues so far. More over, I've checked and confirmed that the functionality is properly working (logging traffic on the pflog device, what's intended for). Patched attached for i386/amd64 (just tested this last arch). As a side note, current archive's tcpdump version is unable to recognize the pseudo interface type[1][2], but using openbsd's provided tcpdump does read kbsd's captured dumps. If this patch is accepted, I'll try to see how possible it is for debian's tcpdump to adopt pflog pseudodevice-handling patch. Since everything appears to be adecuate, I ask you to consider enabling back pflog device by default on kfreebsd 9 series, please. Thanks a lot and keep with all this excellent work up! Cheers, Dererk 1.# tcpdump -nettti pflog0 tcpdump: WARNING: pflog0: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: packet printing is not supported for link type PFLOG: use -w 2. # tcpdump -nettti pflog0 -w foobar -v tcpdump: WARNING: pflog0: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: listening on pflog0, link-type PFLOG (OpenBSD pflog file), capture size 65535 bytes 1 packet captured^C 1 packet received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel # tcpdump -nettt -r foobar -v reading from file foobar, link-type PFLOG (OpenBSD pflog file) tcpdump: packet printing is not supported for link type PFLOG: use -w -- BOFH excuse #403: Sysadmin didn't hear pager go off due to loud music from bar-room speakers.
