1.1 Introduction webpftable is a (very) simple CGI application that, upon successful authentication against passwd(5), adds the client's IP address to a pf table. 2.1 Configuration and compilation The default table name used is "webtable." However, you can set this either directly in the source file (webpftable.c) by editing the TMPTAB #define, or via environment variables to the make(1) instance. Observe: env DEFS=-DTMPTAB='\"trusted\"' make will build webpftable such that the table name is "trusted." I apologise for the really crappy default configuration, but it's nice and simple. Obviously, to compile webpftable, simply run "make." 2.2 Installation To install webpftable, simply copy it to your webserver's cgi-bin directory. Note that either permissions on /dev/pf must allow your webserver's user to write to it, or you must run the cgi as suid root. This is up to you. A sample HTML file is included as an example of how the CGI is used. If you make your own, the CGI takes two parameters in a POST request: login and passwd. 2.3 License Webpftable is distributed under the following terms: Copyright (c) 2005-2010 Dan Ponte.
