[REQUEST] Peerguardian

Kirby · 2005-08-04 14:33:21

I have not been able to compile this program for beans.....I have tried every suggestion on their forums, and still no go. So I'm asking for help here....hopefully someone will have better luck compiling than I did

I have it installed, I have no time to write a PKGBUILD but it was easy to install, this is what I did:

wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/peerguardian/pglinux-1.5beta.tar.gz
cd pglinux-1.5beta
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
su
cp peerguardnf /usr/bin
cp PG.conf /etc/peerguardian.conf
cp p2p.p2b.p2p /etc/p2p.p2b.p2p

make install didn't work, that's why I copied everything by hand, then I edited /etc/peerguardian.conf:

$ cat /etc/peerguardian.conf

#
# PGD.conf -- This is a basic PGD configuration file.
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.
#

# Modify the block file below to match the block file you use
BLOCKFILE=/etc/p2p.p2b.p2p

# Please edit below if you wish not to block certain ports with
# were in the format 80,25,x,x; or leave it blank if you don't wish
# to use this feature.
PORTS_NOT_TO_BLOCK=22,80,443;

ADMIN_NAME=admin
ADMIN_PASSWORD=d033e22ae348aeb5660fc2140aec35850c4da997

Then I wrote a rc.d script to run peerguardian as a deamon:

$ cat /etc/rc.d/peerguardian

#!/bin/bash

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

PID=`pidof -o %PPID /usr/bin/peerguardnf`
case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting PeerGuardian Daemon"
    if [ -z "$PID" ]; then
       /usr/bin/peerguardnf -d -c /etc/peerguardian.conf -l /var/log/peerguardian.log -h -m
    fi
    if [ ! -z "$PID" -o $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      add_daemon peerguardian
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping PeerGuardian Daemon"
    [ ! -z "$PID" ]  && kill $PID &> /dev/null
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      rm_daemon peerguardian
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  restart)
    $0 stop
    sleep 1
    $0 start
    ;;
  *)
    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac

then create a log file as root:

touch /var/log/peerguardian.log

If everything went ok:

/etc/rc.d/peerguardian start

And peerguardian should be running, you can add "peerguardian" in your rc.conf daemons to run it at boot.

Check /var/log/peerguardian.log, it should says something like:

Reading blocklist
detected binary blocklist
Entering daemon mode
Allowing all traffic on port 22
Allowing all traffic on port 80
Allowing all traffic on port 443
Blocking 63799 ranges (702060665 IP addresses)

Ask if you have any problem, I will be glab to help you

i might make a pkgbuild for this tonight
so if you can wait.. you can have a nice pacman version!

Kirby · 2005-08-05 02:49:46

I thank everyone for their help and commitment

just one last thing.....there is a GUI that is being created over here:

http://methlabs.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5932
http://www.methlabs.org/pg2-linux/peerg … 1.2.tar.gz

the only problem is that it has been hard for me to compile Gambas with QT support, so I can compile the GUI (says something about the QT header files not being there). Hopefully someone has a miracle solution for that???

Snowman · 2005-08-05 03:36:09

There is a gambas PKGBUILD in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=1&ID=271 Have you tried it?

Pointer · 2005-08-06 10:55:58

thanks

Pointer · 2005-08-06 11:46:38

i add a daily peerguardian.list update script

--REMOVED ITS IN THE AUR VERSION--

Father · 2005-08-06 11:51:38

package is in AUR
i changed some things to conform to the arch package guidelines (which i finally got around to reading.. oops!)
i should probably go back and fix up my old packages

you dont have to re-makepkg the files, but it would probably be best.. only the file locations changed.. ie, /etc/peerguardian.conf -> /etc/peerguardian/peerguardian.conf

Father · 2005-08-06 12:01:16

damn! i thought i was done packaging!
ill add this to the package now.. and merge it with the changes..

when im done, could you remove your PKGBUILDs from the post so that we dont confuse people!

thanks guys

if only i had iptables in my kernel i could use the damn thing!

Pointer · 2005-08-06 12:02:46

ok

Father · 2005-08-06 12:16:09

updated the pkgbuild in the thread and aur!

thanks guys! great work

Beavis · 2005-08-06 12:36:22

This package definately gets my vote. Excellent job everyone and thank you.

Beavis · 2005-08-06 12:38:49

Just added my vote in AUR

Pointer · 2005-08-06 13:14:26

peerguardian ist great, 30mins with edonkey an 200 blocked ips

Father · 2005-08-06 14:53:40

Pointer pm'ed me with an update to his 'update' script.

ive modified the one in the thread and AUR.

please update!!

lucke · 2005-08-06 18:22:32

Nice job, thanks. However, IMHO 'rm *.p2b' and 'rm *.p2p' should be moved to the end of peerguardian-update (why leave junk in /etc/peerguardian?). rm *.gz isn't needed at all, because of gunzip.

Additionally, anyone knows a way of leaving out single IPs? I had to remove edu from updates, as I couldn't connect to my shell ;-)

-edit-

One more thing: you could use 'install' command instead of cp. Config files don't need to be executable. Neither has to be the log file ;-)

Father · 2005-08-06 21:01:04

the rm's are to clear the previous list files so they can be updated from the website.

i dont understand how that leaves junk in /etc/peerguardian?

cp.. install.. same thing anyway..

ill remove the executable flag later.. tiiirrrreedd

[edit] man im an idot.. yeah i see what you mean..
it downloads the files and adds them into the list.. but only removes the raw files at the start of the next update! ..heh.. i blame being tired!

the only thing about using 'install' is it might be less clear what its doing
cp blah chmod blah is very obvious.. and step by step..
ill look into it.. either way.. minor..
thanks for poiting that out though.. [/edit]

[edit2] updated 'update' script to clean out downloaded files at the end of an update [/edit2]
