Re: NATd question
There some marketing scams out there that some ISP use to get you to pay just a bit more for service. One common scam is as follows: consumer: I have two computers. I need to make sure they can both get on the internet. (Thinking: I know my buddy did this with his setup) ISP: Oh you mean you need a second IP address, right? (Thinking: The poor guy doesn't know he can do it with one and NAT server. But I ain't telling him that.) consumer: Will that let me get both of these connected? ISP: Oh you bet. It will only be $5($10/$15/maybe even $20) more dollars a month consumer: Ok set it up. Lets do that.

FreeBSD box has 2 NIC's My question is: Where and How to sign 2 IPs for 2 NICs? which IP the NIC connected to DSL should sign? Which IP the NIC connected to HUB should sign? Which of these IPs will be as gateway IP the clients will sign? The DSL connection is probally going to be DHCP so just set the nic connected to it for DHCP. Then for the lan select what ever private address you want. You will have to experiment a bit to figure out which is which. I have read the instructions of freebsd.org, and it says the gateway will be the BSD machine 192.168.0.1 BUT this IP in my LAN is signed to the router automatilcaly. You can assign the gateway machine any private address you want. BTW if you have a gateway why are you setting up a second? Can someone explain? advise? This machine will be only for this use. It basically works like this... LAN - gateway - natd - dsl uplink device - WAN Any thing on to a address not included in the subnet mask is going to leave throught the gateway. The usual subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 so thus there are 256 possabilities of address in the alloted space. Now lets say out gateway is 192.168.0.1 any thing not belonging to 192.168.0.1/24 is going to leave thought the gateway. On it's way out that packet is going to be monkeyed, by natd, with so it will know where to send the returned info. This is done so that it will know which machine on the LAN it should be sent too. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're running 4.8-STABLE or one of the releases from before that

You mean something you've installed outside the ports/pkg system? I'm afraid the answer is that the only thing you can do is labouriously identify each individual file and manually delete them. There's a couple of tricks you can use to make the job easier -- if you can positively identify some of the files you can extract the timestamp and then hunt for files with a similar timestamp. If you've still got the sources around, you can try installing using a different prefix pointing at an empty directory -- eg. /tmp/something -- supposing that the compile system permits that (all autoconf based source packages do). Then compare what gets installed in there with what's in your /usr/local ports are your friend... trust the ports...

Dual-boot does not work with GRUB
I've been trying to setup a dual boot Linux/FreeBSD system so I can tryout freebsd and compare it to linux, my current main os. I had the freebsd easyboot bootloader installed, but I couldn't get it to boot linux so I reinstalled GRUB as lilo doesn't even load properly on my system. I can now boot into linux and use the freebsd install disk to boot into freebsd. I've tried to get grub to boot freebsd directly, but it's not working. I've had it chainloader the first sector of the slice with freebsd on it and chainload /boot/boot1 directly, both just print a - in the upper left corner and stop, like it loaded boot1 successfully but boot1 couldn't find boot2. Chainloading /boot/boot0 does a similar result, with that boot loader. Using grub to try and load /boot/loader and /kernel with the kernel command doesn't do much either. Any suggestions. Also, in my short experience with freebsd, it seems relatively fast, but when there is massive i/o in the background, like untarring a massive tarball, the system becomes rather unresponsive with certain things, is something misconfigured on my system?

Are you sure that both IDE controllers on the motherboard are ATA 100 or better? I've seen several motherboards where the primary (first) ATA controller is ATA 100 and the second was ATA 33. The second one was intended for CD-ROM drives and the first for hard drives. By plugging into the first controller, you could rule this out as others have suggested. Some maxtor drives require a jumper for ATA 100. I'm not sure about all seagates. I just put in an 80 gig seagate and it steped down to ATA 66 correctly in my iMac which shipped with a 10 gig.

That's not an architecture that you're going to get FreeBSD to run under I wouldn't think.

Very nice: zero noise, reliable, no sysadm duties. The diskless support for 5.1 is really quite nice; man diskless. In the past, I've run NetBSD diskless on Sun IPX and ELC systems. I suspect that if the SunRays do a PXE boot then they can be given addresses by DHCP, boot files via TFTP, and filesystems via NFS -- just like any other diskless client. I don't know if FreeBSD runs on SunRay's CPU, however. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: apcupsd
Hi... I have the same UPS and cable running with apcupsd on FreeBSD 4.8. I have nothing but good things to say about the UPS and apcupsd. Detects and reports power failures and power restores. Properly halts the system upon reaching remaining-charge-percentage or time-until-failure thresholds. I have messages logging to stdout and to apcupsd.log via syslog. apcupsd does not send out email notification (AFAIK) but I have swatch configured to email me any apcupsd syslog messages. I receive bi-weekly self-test messages. It has been working flawlessly for about 18 months. Chris Barry Skidmore wrote: OS: 5.1-RELEASE UPS: Back-UPS 650, serial interface Cable: 940-0020B With the above setup apcupsd detects a power failure, but not a return of power, and thus does not send a notification email. Also, apcupsd does not halt the system. I noticed in the docs that for this to work on FreeBSD you need a Smart UPS, and use the --kill-on-powerfail option at the command line. Since I do not have a Smart UPS, I have not tried this option. My question is what model number of APC UPS is working well for you with apcupsd 3.10.6 My current setup did work fine with Red Hat 9.0 and upcupsd 3.8.0, so I do not think this is an issue with the cable.

Open Source Groupware
Hello! My name is Jorge L. Vargas and I am currently pursuing an MS degree in Information Technology through ASPEN University, Denver CO (online - www.aspen.edu). As part of the degree requirements I need to develop a Capstone project applicable to the area of study; in my case I selected Open Source Software as the area of research. The project title, of which I am including the proposal made to the university, is: Is Open Source Software Ready for the Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration Needs? My intention is to research the Open Source messaging and collaboration solutions readiness when compared with proprietary alternatives, specifically MS Exchange. What am I looking for? If you could help me identifying case studies, references, evaluations or any piece of information that compares MS Exchange with Open Source email and groupware alternatives I would really appreciate that. I really believe that Open Source email and groupware is a viable alternative for most modern organizations and intend to develop a paper that helps any IT Manager to understand and evaluate such alternative.

Accessing DOCSIS diagnostics from within/behind FreeBSD router
Guys, I'm not sure if this is even a FreeBSD question, but googling hasn't turned up much on it, so I thought I'd toss this one out there. I have a Motorola SB5100 cable modem directly attached to a FreeBSD router (running ipfilters/ipnat). The external network is a comcast segment, and is assigned a dynamic IP. The internal network is routed on 192.168.1.x, where the router is 192.168.1.254. The trick is, the cable modem is on the external side, but apparently listening on 192.168.1.100 for HTTP requests (for its diagnostics report). Is there anyway to access this diagnostic page without temporarily plugging the CM into a Windows box?

Since 192.168.1.x subnet is on the inside of the network, your FBSD box will never route a request for an IP on that network outbound by default. I may be shown up here, but you will probably be best changing your internal network to another subnet 192.168.0.x perhaps, and then your FBSD router should pass toward the Internet a request for 192.168.1.100, and hopefully the comcast modem will catch it.

If your ISP is anything like this one, your modem will have NAT translation built in, meaning that is likely your default gateway. On your FBSD router, you never implied that it could/couldn't see the Internet. I take it that if you put a PC into the modem and set it's default gateway to 1.1 (the modem probably assigns this via DHCP anyway), then you can get online. If this is the case, then the secondary router is no use unless used as a firewall. In that case, you wouldn't need to route, and you could just set it up as an IP-less bridge firewall.

Console resolution
Hi ! I have just installed FreeBSD onto my notebook. I am using FreeBSD for quite some time, and now I decided to install it on my notebook (I got tired of both RedHat and Windows 2000, which both didn't work as they should (I had both installed on same computer)) and remove everything else from it. Problem is that this notebok Toshiba, has *very* ugly system font. On RedHat I solved this problem, by giving higher resolution to text mode (which I what I would like to do here). I am wondering if this is also possible on freebsd. I use text mode a lot, so this is quite important, I use Xwindows only if I must... Take care.

RE: NATd question
Hi dear Asher, First: Thank you TOO much for your detailed replay, its really a help! in your configurations you depend that ISP will give the BSD an IP. But in fact, Iam using a DSL MODEM ROUTER, which will call the internet automatically, and will assign (the router) the IP 192.168.0.1 plus the real ip which ISP will give. and this Router will be connected to the FreeBSD box. This is why I'm missed, in your sweet drawing (wan nic)FreeBSD(lan nic) what the gateway should be? The router IP I assume? is it on (wan nic)? and do i need a DHCP?on xl0 ? manly im setting this configuration just to controll the network I need to block some IPs from internet and someother IPs a few ports, so im setting this BSD box because of the ipfw rules.. Can you explain it accoring to DSL MODEM ROUTER which will assign an IP automaticaly ? how we will setup the freebsd to be the main gateway for clinets? insted the router? Iam sory for the long email. VERY warm thanks for you. Marwan On Mon, 8 Dec 2003 08:47:22 -0600, Bill Asher wrote Do you have a static IP you can use on the BSD box? Typically when we setup DSL we take it straight from the DSL or Cable modem to the BSD Box which gets assigned an IP address from the provider either static or dynamic. You then run NATD for your internal clients to use the FreeBSD's public IP. Like so: Internet -- DSL Modem -- (wan nic)FreeBSD(lan nic) -- Switch/Hub - - Clients FreeBSD IPs Wan nic(xl0) = DHCP Lan nic(xl1) = 10.2.2.1 To assign your IP addressess edit /etc/rc.conf, Heres and example using DHCP on the wan nic: defaultrouter=10.2.2.1 gateway_enable=YES hostname=fw01.domain.com ifconfig_xl0=DHCP ifconfig_xl1=inet 10.2.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 linux_enable=YES sendmail_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES usbd_enable=YES natd_program=/sbin/natd # path to natd, if you want a different one. natd_enable=YES# Enable natd (if firewall_enable == YES). natd_interface=xl0 # Public interface or IPaddress to use. natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.cf# Additional flags for natd. Your clients would be setup like this: Client 01 IP = 10.2.2.10 Gateway = 10.2.2.1 DNS = Your.DNS.Server.IP You can run DHCP server on your FreeBSD box to hand Ips out to your clients if you'd like, make sure you bind it to your LAN Nic of your FreeBDS box though. If you have Static Ips just substitute those instead of using DHCP for your wan nic. Hope this helps, this is just the way I do it. Let me know if you have other questions in setting this up.

Re: Routing problem
This setup appears a little confusing. Does your ISP give you a static or dynamic IP address to the internet? It would also help to see the interface configuration info in your rc.conf file. generally speaking, your external interface should have the ip address assigned by your isp, not a private network address like you describe. You should also have a valid address to a dns server, rather than being referred to your dsl modem's private ip address. #my rc.conf (cable modem, with ip dynamically assigned - I'm using 192.168.1.0 as my private network range) gateway_enable=YES defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 network_interfaces=fxp0 dc0 lo0 hostname=vesta.bitheaven.net ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP ifconfig_dc0=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 If this doesn't help, send more info On Dec 8, 2003, at 12:22 PM, joshua lokken wrote: Hello, Running 4.9-stable.

That's not an architecture that you're going to get FreeBSD to run under I wouldn't think. I suspect that if the SunRays do a PXE boot then they can be given addresses by DHCP, boot files via TFTP, and filesystems via NFS -- just like any other diskless client. There's the thing - I don't think that the Rays are capable of doing something like that. If you look at http://wwws.sun.com/sunray/sunray150/features.html which is a list of features for the most 'advanced' SunRay that is available - you'll see that, All computing is performed on the server. In other words, there is no local processor - nothing to run a local FreeBSD kernel (or anything else) on. The rays depend entirely on their host server for all computation, I don't think they even have any local memory so they are not simply a diskless box in the usual sense - as they would normally have local CPU and memory. However, like I said before if they can be made to understand a normal X session then perhaps they could just act as X-servers or something similar? Do a google for sunray linux and see what Linux-type people have done, although from https://listman.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2003-April/msg00797.html it doesn't look too hopeful that anyone has it working yet...

Avcheck itself isn't a virusscanner, nor it is an MTA. It sits between the MTA and a real antivirus software. Most MTAs available today can call an external program for every mail message in order to perform various tasks, including virus scanning and content filtering. Avcheck can be used as that external program. Avcheck will receive a mail message from a mail system, pass it to an antivirus software, and, depending on the presence of a virus in that message, will either allow the message to be delivered or take appropriate actions to handle infected mail. Avcheck does nothing with a mail message contents -- it's task is to prepare file with a mail message and feed it to an antivirus progra. It's an antivirus task to decode MIME structure, handle embedded archives and so on. Many but not all antivirus products today have this ability.

Strange behavior with scp
Hi, I just upgraded 2 machines to 4.9p1 and one of them is displaying a rather odd behavior. When I try to scp a file from said machine, it shows the first line of the fortune (the one you see if you, say, log into a shell on the machine) on the client end and then it quits. No error is reported in /var/log/messages or auth.log and no file is transferred. Has anyone seen this before? I tried using the same sshd_config as the working machine to no avail.

If you have more memory you might want to experiment with a higher cache size. Also make sure you RTFM the dump man page. I don't know if either parameter is in the release you are running.

Why userland , basesystem and Kernel are together?!
Hi Everybody , it's not easy to jump from one operating system to other one , sometimes people can have too much habit and it's searching same ones in other , for good understanding it is asking why ?! :) I want to ask why userland , base-system and Kernel are together ?! What is the meaning of this . I mean sync. all source and start to build new system from the beginning is to hard , it takes too much time and can have some risk .I don't understand How ISP can use FreeBSD because at the building time , machine will be off. Okey Maybe yahoo can use it because it's clustered environment and it's easyly remove one of the machine install new version or patch it if any problem occur it can be reinstalled after that making standart configuration now it's ready. I think that Kernel must be seperate of userland because it's managing and controling processes and I don't need rebuild kernel too much if I have no problem with device driver or if I don't need to add something to kernel for support ( instead of Firewall or like important things ) . Why some programs are in base system . What is the meaning of Sendmail or SSH in base system . Programs are only executable things What is the relation about those programs with base system ?! in list Some members said that I can patch a system with watching Security Advisories but same people said that Sometimes it'wont and I have to do full kernel / world / build / plus install and reboot Why ?

Re: Hard drive geometry headache (slightly off topic)
I have a problem which i cannot seem to fix no matter what I do! I have a 120GB disk, which had windows XP/FreeBSD partions working fine on one computer. Now I had to move it to a new computer in which the bios detects a certian geometry, but then the system wont boot. No matter what I do now, i cant get the system to boot off the disk, i have even tried eraseing it with fdisk (freebsd and dos versions). Does anyone know how I can save it? I have tried everything and dont know where else to ask. Check to see that the BIOS is using the same addressing mode as the old board. I had a somewhat similar problem and it turned out the BIOS was in Large mode. Switching to LBA solved the problem. Also, if you've fdisk'ed the drive, chances are you've hosed the installations. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Binary Upgrade Problems 4.3 --- 4.9
I'm having trouble doing a binary upgrade from 4.3 to 4.9. Existing 4.3 was installed with 'all' distributions selected, and takes up about 636M on an old Pentium. When I tried the upgrade to 4.9 the first time (selecting 'all' again) the process bombed, and complained about unwillingness to upgrade /src, suggesting CTM or CVSup - which was fair enough, since this was supposed to be a 'binary' upgrade. (Does this always happen??) Re-installed 4.3 again and re-tried the upgrade - this time with all distributions chosen (except sources). Bombed out again, complaining about 'unable to extract stuff into /usr/X11R6 directory'. However, even with this outcome, the system seems to be working (almost) OK. Boots OK with 4.9 kernel and 'uname -a' shows Version 4.9. All of the files seem to be there (now takes up 822M), and all of the files I've checked have dates of Oct 27 (which I assume is when 4.9 was built). However, all of my old configuration files are still stuck in /usr/tmp/etc and have not been copied back into /etc - only 'new' unmodified versions of the files are there, also with dates of Oct 27. And, I assume, there are troubles in the X11R6 directory, since that's where it was when it bombed. So, it appears that the upgrade went almost to completion, but ran into trouble towards the end. Any suggestions?? I'm beginning to believe that binary upgrades are more trouble than a 'real' one - even though it 'appears' to be easier.

Re: Why userland , basesystem and Kernel are together?!
I want to ask why userland , base-system and Kernel are together ?! Because some userland programs make assumptions on internal kernel structures. Examples: top, fstat, fsck, ... And, most important: Every compiled application needs libc as a wrapper for system calls (which toggle all kinds of actions in the kernel). You can imagine what happens if your libc does not match your kernel version, and something really important changed. What is the meaning of this . I mean sync. all source and start to build new system from the beginning is to hard , it takes too much time and can have some risk .I don't understand How ISP can use FreeBSD because at the building time , machine will be off. Okey Maybe yahoo can use it because it's clustered environment and it's easyly remove one of the machine install new version or patch it if any problem occur it can be reinstalled after that making standart configuration now it's ready. You will find a test and build machine on almost any _professional_ installation (independently, if FreeBSD is used as OS). I think that Kernel must be seperate of userland because it's managing and controling processes and I don't need rebuild kernel too much if I have no problem with device driver or if I don't need to add something to kernel for support ( instead of Firewall or like important things ) . Why some programs are in base system . What is the meaning of Sendmail or SSH in base system . Programs are only executable things What is the relation about those programs with base system ?! Because FreeBSD is more than a kernel, but a full Operating System, and as therefore it needs software for basic services like email, remote login, ... in list Some members said that I can patch a system with watching Security Advisories but same people said that Sometimes it'wont and I have to do full kernel / world / build / plus install and reboot Why ? What is the problem ?! Of course, you can perform an update for a userland application in FreeBSD without a reboot. The benefit of tracking one of the security branches and doing the full buildworld procedure is, that you are using a well-defined snapshot of the FreeBSD source repository. When you see a security advisory, and you update to the latest security release, you can be sure, that your system will still work afterwards (a.k.a QA provided by the FreeBSD security team). If you don't want to track that branch, there are still the pointers to patches that apply against supported releases. Due to the lack of man power, older versions of FreeBSD cannot be supported for eternity. And if you dislike the idea of keeping your sources up-to-date, there is also a binary security update mechanism: ports/security/freebsd-update Which list I have to watch for which Relese will have production quality ?!! At the present, you should install FreeBSD 4.9 and either update to the latest security release _or_ use the freebsd-update port. Once you use the source method, you will not be able to use the binary updates since the patches won't probably apply. Regards, Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Accessing DOCSIS diagnostics from within/behind FreeBSD router
J. Seth Henry [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm not sure if this is even a FreeBSD question, but googling hasn't turned up much on it, so I thought I'd toss this one out there. I have a Motorola SB5100 cable modem directly attached to a FreeBSD router (running ipfilters/ipnat). The external network is a comcast segment, and is assigned a dynamic IP. The internal network is routed on 192.168.1.x, where the router is 192.168.1.254. The trick is, the cable modem is on the external side, but apparently listening on 192.168.1.100 for HTTP requests (for its diagnostics report). Is there anyway to access this diagnostic page without temporarily plugging the CM into a Windows box? The most obvious answer would be to change the internal network to not conflict with the external network. With a little more effort, you could set up the FreeBSD box to bridge instead of routing, and just make sure you don't assign the .100 address to anything other than the cable modem. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area: resume/CV at http://be-well.ilk.org:8088/~lowell/resume/ username/password public ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
