[bwm-tools-tech] Getting started

[Jon <bw...@pa...>]

Hi

Right, it's taken me a few days to get this installed (I think it's 
installed...heh)

Some background info:

Im running Gentoo Linux on a Athlon 1800+, 512mb RAM.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@veritas ~/bwm_tools-0.1.8
$ls
AUTHORS      Makefile.in   bwm_graph     config.h.in    depcomp     
ltmain.sh
COPYING      NEWS          bwm_monitor   config.log     doc         missing
ChangeLog    README        bwmd          config.status  include     stamp-h1
INSTALL      TODO          compile       config.sub     install-sh
Makefile     aclocal.m4    config.guess  configure      lib
Makefile.am  bwm_firewall  config.h      configure.ac   libtool
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Above is  pretty much my bwm_tools folder after 'make install'

Below is, as you can see /usr/local/bin
--------------------------------------------------------------------
root@veritas /usr/local/bin
$ls
autorespond  bwm_firewall  bwm_graph  bwm_monitor  bwmd
--------------------------------------------------------------------

How does one get started?

I have attempted to do
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$./bwmd
BWM Daemon v0.1.8 - Copyright (c) 2003 Linux Based Systems Design

I/O warning : failed to load external entity 
"/usr/local/etc/bwm_tools/firewall.xml"
Failed to load flow data from configuration file!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) I dont have a /usr/local/etc/
and
(b) How do I go about generating the firewall.xml (which i'd presume to 
be the ruleset) ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

-- Jon

Hi Jon,

Check in the doc directory in the source, there is an example .xml file
there. You must create the above etc directory and put the configuration
file there.  bwm_firewall generates an iptables ruleset which can be
loaded atomically with iptables-restore.

Nigel

Maybe you can read http://www.murder4al.be about my own experience with
bwm_tools.

But in general it comes to this.
- Open the example XML file located in /etc/bwm_tools and edit it to suit
your needs.
- Generate iptables ruleset from this xml file with bwm_firewall
- Get that ruleset active (possible editing by hand to merge it with an
existing ruleset) or by just loading it with iptables-restore
- Start 'bwmd --config=/path/to/xml/file
- Enjoy your shaping with bwm_monitor

Very much appreciated Kobe!

Mind if I mention this in the documentation? Maybe i should also include
the "Kobe 5 step way to get bwm-tools up" ... hehe  :-)
