Meebo is a new web-based IM client, developed with AJAX. The system integrating the core of GAIM 1.5 with AJAX. Nice work for all of them.

Meebo allows user to login to most popular IM provider. There are Yahoo Messenger, AIM or ICQ, Jabber or GTalk and MSN Messenger. They claims that users password were encrypted using 1024-bit RSA keys. I hope they do..

You should have a try.

I have tried VMware player. Its cool man, quite fast when loading and handling it. I love it. But I couldn’t find function to suspend a virtual machine, means I have to shutdown my virtual machine properly to close it.

Try it, you’ll love it

Ya, VMware now have launched a free version of its virtual amchine software. This virtualization software will create a virtual machine, just like the normal paid one, but with limited functionalities. View the comparison between VMWare player and other VMWare products here, VMWare Player comparison.

The software were in Windows and Linux. Enjoy it. Download it from here. VMWare player

This writeup will be short, to summarize how to enable ipf firewall in FreeBSD. In my experience with FreeBSD 5.4, it just work very well.

First, we need to enable it in the kernel configuration file. The default filename is GENERIC and located in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/. First I make a copy of the configuration file, to BUDIHOST simply by using this command.

my.budihost.com# cp GENERIC BUDIHOST

Edit BUDIHOST, add these few lines:

options IPFILTER # IPFilter support
options IPFILTER_LOG # IPFilter logging support
options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK # Block all packets by default
options RANDOM_IP_ID # RANDOM_IP_ID causes the ID field in IP packets to be randomized

These few lines also need to be added into /etc/rc.conf

ipfilter_enable=”YES” #Stateful firewall
ipfilter_program=”/sbin/ipf” # where the ipfilter program lives
ipfilter_rules=”/etc/ipf.rules” # loads rules definition text file
ipfilter_flags=”-F a -f /etc/ipf.rules” #IPFilter is enabled in the kernel and not module

After modification in your kernel configuration file, you need to rebuild and reinstall the new kernel with the new configuration.

my.budihost.com# cd /usr/src/
my.budihost.com# make buildkernel KERNCONF=BUDIHOST
my.budihost.com# make installkernel KERNCONF=BUDIHOST

Please check the error or any messages prompted after the buildkernel. If there is any problem, you might need to edit your configuration file, then rebuild. After you have sucessfully rebuild the kernel, then you can install it.

The firewall rules were stored in /etc/ipf.rules. You need to modify the file, to suite your production needs.

This is a sample configuration file. /etc/ipf.rules . You can open any additional port yourself, the configuration is simple straight forward.

Reboot your machine..

my.budihost.com# shutdown -r now

I have experience once, when I cannot ping to my own box. I also cannot check my email using webmail, the error message come out, no route to host. Its actually because of the firewall rule, u need to allow loopback interface to transfer. Solved!

Finally, Budihost server have been changed to Netmyne datacenter, in Brickfield.. Theres alot of problem while migrating, from DNS problem with Jaring, server firewall problem, and now, running smooth and sound.

Netmyne datacenter in Brickfield is a preference for most company in Malaysia, as it is located inside KL, no need to go to Cyberjaya. With fast connection, it hope will provide a better performance for all our clients, and clients to be
