Had a dual AMD 1800+ setup with OE/Retail AMD fans, system less than a year old, actually purchased from a company that went under, so the system sat idle for a good part of that year. Ran it for about a month, CPU fan failure, one _very_ cooked Athlon MP 1800+ CPU later...was cheaper to buy a pair of MP 2000+ off eBay than a new (or used) 1800+ CPU, but went ahead and spent the $ on ThermalTake Silent Boost fans- I don't overclock server systems, but they _are_ quiet by comparison, and are basically 80mm case fans with copper heat sink. Both (replacement) CPUs I think I paid $140 for, and ~$50 for the fans, so it's a fair amount of $ by comparison, but have used TT fans in the past and haven't had one die on me yet. Probably overkill, but lose a few CPUs (PIII CPUs seem to be able to survive a CPU fan failure, P4 and Xeons generally survive, but AMD chips will cook themselves in a heartbeat!) and it'll seem worth the few extra $$..

Re: Win200 gateway blocking FBSD html?
Sounds like MSproxy server. Doing a search on the net results in similar problems to yours. Some suggest enabling SOCKS support on the MSproxy server and a SOCKS client on your client box. I don't have any experience with MS Proxy directly, other than eradicating the client on some Windows boxes that had it installed. It installs transparently and works regardless of your browser's proxy settings. Very annoying if you don't know it's on there. Is there another gateway that you can go out on? Or better yet, replace the the server! Quoting Robert Storey [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm trying to set up a FreeBSD client machine for a school.

Ipfw ruleset check
I have a 4.9 router that I decided I want to have a meaningful firewall
with, so I have modified a copy of rc.firewall and would like someone to
point out if I am doing something monumentally stupid.
I want to allow all from within my network, but only let in a few from
the internet:
DNS
Email/imap-ssl(pop3-ssl in future)
Ssh
WWW
And whatever natd redirects I have (remote desktop mainly). I
definitely want to protect mysqld and only allow it from localhost or
inside network.
Here is what I have come up with so far (kernel built with default to
deny):
setup_loopback
# set these to your network and netmask and ip
net=192.168.1.0
mask=255.255.255.0
ip=192.168.1.1
# Allow any traffic to or from my own net.
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${ip} to ${net}:${mask}
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${net}:${mask} to ${ip}
# Allow all out the world
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${ip} to any keep-state
# Allow DNS queries out or in the world
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any 53 keep-state
# Allow email out or in the world
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any 25 keep-state
# Allow imap-ssl out or in the world
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any 993 keep-state
# Allow ssh out or in the world
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any 22 keep-state
# Allow www out or in the world
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any 80 keep-state
# Allow MSTSC in the world
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any 5001 keep-state
Any glaring mistakes on my part?

No a firewall doesn't know anything like that. It makes it choices based on IP, port and certain flags. There are two posibilties however. The first is that your DHCP gives you an IP that is blocked by the firewall. You could check this by using you laptop to steal one of the IP's of a known working client. The other option is that is a proxy server installed. That could explain the slow performance. A proxy server doesn't have the wisdom to block based on that kind of info.

I'm not certain, but I think the address 0.0.0.255:0.0.0.255 means
anything ending in .255
It just an invalid IP adress. At least the first tree number have to be
zero. The invalid IP adress 0.0.0.0 is usaly used by DHCP server (and

wireless card settings question
When configuring a wi0 interface, the available authmode settings are none, open, shared. The ifconfig manpage does not explain the meaning, nor the consequences of selecting either open or shared. Of open and shared, which one is more secure ? Also, regarding wepmode, it turns out that on the Netgear MA401, wepmode ON is same as wepmode MIXED. Does this mean that anyone can connect without having the encryption key? I realize that even 128bit WEP keys are easily crackable these days, but I still would want to prevent connections that dont have the key. cheers, Arya __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Win200 gateway blocking FBSD html?
Dear All, Thanks to everyone (8 persons so far) who replied to my question - I greatly appreciate the help. Yes, I believe that the problem must be a Windows proxy server - it's a school, and if I'm not mistaken, a proxy server can be configured to block pornographic web sites (correct me if I'm wrong). I'll have to check this tomorrow, as I'm not at the school right now (it's night here - I'm in Taiwan). Briefly, to answer some of the questions posed... I was wondering, does your mailer hava option to cut the text on or becore char 72? This is a bit difficult to read, but i can answer you question. Sorry, I just fixed that. Thanks for telling me. And Windows clients are set also to get their network settings automatically. This will include those that are managed by dhcp. I assume from what you say that the FreeBSD machine is successfully gaining a valid ip address, netmask, gateway (router) address and is resolving domain names. Yes, the output of ifconfig looks very good. Is there another gateway that you can go out on? Or better yet, replace the the server! Unfortunately, not. Interestingly, I learned that the old gateway (5 years old) was installed by a contractor, and it ran FreeBSD! No one at the school understood how to configure it, and they just replaced it with a nice new shiny Windows 2000 box because they thought it would be easier. Arrgh! More experiments tomorrow.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII I'm trying to set up a FreeBSD client machine for a school. They have never used FBSD or even Linux, they are 100% Windows. They are interested in letting their students gain experience with non-Windows software. So I need to prove to them that FBSD can work, but I've run into a major obstacle. The client machines are connected to a switch, which is connected to a Windows 2000 gateway machine to access the Internet. I set up a FBSD client, and using dhcp it can find the network. I can ping the gateway machine, and even ping the local ISP. I can also use gftp to access some anonymous ftp sites (such as FreeBSD.org) though performance seems slow. The problem - I cannot access any web sites with http. Doesn't matter if I use Konqueror, Mozilla or Lynx. Yet, all the Windows machines on this network can browse the web (using Internet Explorer) without difficulty. I find this very peculiar. Just to be sure that I don't have a misconfigured firewall on the FBSD box, I installed FBSD on my laptop, plugged it into a different network - works fine, I can surf the web. Then I plug it into the school's network, and http doesn't work, but ping and ftp can reach the outside world (though again, it's slow). Is it somehow possible that the Windows gateway only allows Internet Explorer to work? Doesn't seem possible, but what do I know?

I hope you'll enjoy FreeBSD as much as I do. =) Very experienced with all versions of windows, have been building computers for 15 years.. Sick of the windows restrictions. Well, I can see why. =) When I first came to non-windows systems, it was Linux, too. I was just curious, but I came to like Unix a lot. Doing any real work on Windows machines has become an annoyance to me. I mean, you can't even set the input focus to follow the mouse... What am I in for?? Have tried many versions of Linux.There are too many anymore. Well, what was it you did not like that much about Linux? FreeBSD is very similar to windows, in many ways, from a user's point of view. The basic command-line tools are more or less the same (differing in detail, though), X11 is the same, you got the same desktop environments and window managers available (like KDE, GNOME, Windowmaker, ...), mozilla's there, too, all the network services... Unlike some distributions of Linux, FreeBSD does not have any graphical tools for installing or configuring the system. It uses a text-based tool called sysinstall for installing and some system-configuration, but once you got the system installed, you're on your own, more or less. So far, this is pretty similar to Debian or Slackware. But if configuring the system by command-line and config-files does not scare you, you'll probably find FreeBSD very easy to configure. Unlike Linux, FreeBSD is a complete system which can look back on a long history, and you see that - FreeBSD is very tidy and reasonable in respect to what config-file belongs where, where applications are installed, and so on. Compared to Linux, FreeBSD has a reputation for being very reliable (not that Linux was entirely unreliable) and performant (though I don't know if/how much this has changed with Linux 2.6). Also, installing applications is very easy to do, as is upgrading the system. What you're in for depends on what you want or need. If you have some knowledge of Unix-systems already, you'll feel pretty familiar and will probably like FreeBSD a lot. If you want to do mainly desktop-stuff (office, email, mozilla, ...), you'll be fine - I do so, too. I also use FreeBSD to watch movies (DVD, DiVX, ...), listen to music and watch TV. If you want to do development, you'll find an excellent environment, the GNU C Compiler is part of the base system, as well as Perl, compilers, interpreters and libraries for a number of other languages are easily available. Where is a good place to start? www.freebsd.org But since you're writing to this mailing list, I suppose you found that site already. =) What's a good read to get up 2 speed??? First, there's the FreeBSD manual, which is *great* - it's available online (www.FreeBSD.org - Documentation - Manual), and it's also installed with the base system. Numerous translations are available, as well. If you want a printed book, I can recommend The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey. Mr. Lehey is an active developer of FreeBSD, and a great author as well. Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas is said to be very good, too, I don't own that book myself, though, so I can't tell for sure. If I'm not mistaken, you'll find more tips on books on the FreeBSD-website. (work) I have time to read That's good. Unless you have much experience with Unix, you'll have to read a lot. Whether or not that's bad depends on you. I'm a big reader, so I even enjoy it, mostly. [EMAIL PROTECTED]mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) I have time too play with new operating systems Well, as I said, I hope, you'll enjoy FreeBSD as much as I do. I like playing around with different operating systems, too, Linux distributions mainly. If you like FreeBSD, you might want to give one of the other free BSD-based systems a try. There is NetBSD (www.netbsd.org) and OpenBSD (www.openbsd.org), plus some 'spin-offs' (DragonFlyBSD, EkkoBSD, to name just two, there's more...). Before someone thinks of flaming me, I should hasten to add that FreeBSD - in my view - is the best system for 'first-contact' among these. It also somehow feels like it is the best *BSD-system for desktop-work and especially multimedia, but I might be wrong here. =) If you give FreeBSD a try (CDs are available for free download as well as from several vendors), you'll probably run into further questions. Before asking the mailing-list, you should consult google, or this mailing-list's archive (which you can find at the FreeBSD-website, too), as well as the manual. This is considered an act of politeness by some, but it tends to be the faster way, too, since with google/archives/documentation you find your answer pretty quickly in most cases, while on the mailing-list you have to wait for someone to look at your problem and answer.

RE: redirect port
Stanley, If you are using natd and have recompiled your kernel with the appropriate options then this should work for you. These are entries to your /etc/rc.conf, (just a starting point, you can fine tune to your needs): gateway_enable=YES firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN firewall_quiet=YES firewall_logging=YES natd_enable=YES natd_interface=fxp0 natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf In the above statement natd_interface=fxp0, fxp0 is the outside nic of your system. Next put these statements in your /etc/natd.conf file as referenced above, (natd.conf doesn't exist by default, you'll create it): same_ports yes dynamic yes redirect_port tcp inside_address:port outside_address:port redirect_port udp inside_address:port outside_address:port As shown above, don't forget to redirect udp traffic if the service you're trying to facilitate needs it. Also know that the ports for the inside and the outside don't have to match. For example, my service provider blocks http/port 80 traffic coming in to my connection so my statement in the natd.conf file would be something like: redirect_port 192.168.1.10:80 outside_address:8080 By doing so outside connectivity attempts to my isp assigned address have to be stated as: http://outside_address:8080. FYI if you ever want to host gaming sessions on an inside system like Counter strike or Unreal Tournament, then put a couple of lines like these in your natd.conf file, (these examples are ones that I used so that my buddies and I could blast away in Unreal Tournament): redirect_port tcp inside_address:-7781 outside_address:-7781 redirect_port udp inside_address:-7781 outside_address:-7781 As you make these changes you can apply them without restarting by running /etc/netstart.

Re: Please help - URGENT - disk/fsck problems!--SOLVED!
I'm in need of urgent help. I have a production 4.9-RELEASE server. I track STABLE, last cvsup/make world was about two months ago. After powering on after an extended power outage (was given advanced notice by electric company and I shut the server down before the outage occurred), the server hung with disk problems and suggested I run fsck. I ran fsck and came up with thousands of errors. I re-ran fsck and came up with less. I repeated this process for what seems like a hundred times. No matter what I do, though, I still have errors that fsck seems unable to repair. HELP!! Well, seeing as that I didn't get a single response to my URGENT plea for help, and noting that necessity is the mother of all invention, I managed to solve this problem myself (48 hours after the fact with users screaming at me for 6 of them). I'm repling to my own post in the hopes it'll be archived and help some poor SOB like myself should they encounter the same problem. I don't know if it was the *right* way to solve the problem, or even if there were alternative ways. This method did work, though. It resulted in some data loss, but I was illing to live with that since I have good tape backups to restore from. Here's how I fixed my problem. After RTFM on fsck (man fsck) for the 4,341st time, I noticed under the see also section a utility called fsdb, the FFS debugging/editing tool. While messing with inodes and such as always scared the hell out of me, I figured I had nothing to loose at this point. I went back to my fsck output and noted that certain errors seemed to never go away, like this one: INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=447212 (5280 should be 4064) I assumed that the I above was an Inode number. I fired up fsdb with the disk slice in question as a paramenter, like this: fsdb /dev/da0s1g This gave me a fsdb prompt. From there I issued the command: clri i-number (e.g., clri 447212). This apparently nukes the Inode number given to it. I did this for all the Inode numbers that continually re-appeared after numerous fsck's. I typed quit (or was it exit?) to leave fsdb and then re-ran fsck. Problem sovled. Restored from tape (love AMANDA!) and I was good-to-go! Hopes this helps somebody...

A FreeBSD 4.9 installation will contain quite modern userland applications. You can use cvsup to update both the sources for userland or for the ports collection. You can also install a port (by default things go under /usr/local) to get a newer version of software than what FreeBSD ships, but the base system and ports are kept seperate (by default, again).

System hangs when I go from X to console (nvidia)
I wonder if anybody has had this problem or can tell me what to try next. I installed a Geforce 2 400 MX into my machine yesterday and actually succeeded in getting it to work with X after 12 hours. All apart from from one annoying detail anyway. When I leave X, either by ctrl+alt+bs or ctrl+alt+f[1-8] or rebooting etc. the machine becomes totally non responsive as soon as it tries to go into console. I have to switch off and switch on (no reset button) to get it back to life. I think my hard drives are going to start a petition soon to make me stop. I've tried the VESA, nv and nvidia drivers for X and all seem to exhibit this in one form or another. I've tried loading with and without the VESA driver at boot with no apparent difference. At the moment I'm using the nvidia drivers. If I had to put money on what I think is happening I would say the card tells the monitor go into x by y mode at z refresh but the monitor can't handle that mode. However it doesn't tell the card it can't deal with it, but the card is waiting for the OK from the monitor before it tells the machine to carry on. That's what it looks like from where I'm sitting anyway. The machine is a Compaq Proliant 800 (with embedded video which I've turned off on motherboard) The card is a Elsa Gladiac 511 PCI (with twin output + TV, I'm only interested in getting it to work with one output) FreeBSD is 5.2 and all ports are up to date as of this morning.

Just wondering... if one installed 4.9, would the system be stuck with really outdated userland apps? or would CVSup be able to update the userland ports, without changing the base system? Ummm... you've got a bit of an incorrect idea about how FreeBSD works. The OS consists of the kernel plus the user system (aka 'the world') -- that is, the complete set of system libraries and standard applications. Under FreeBSD all of these parts are developed in synchrony, and all out of a unified source tree. Generally you will always update kernel and world together -- occasionally there may be security updates or the like where you single out a particular application for rebuilding, but that is not a frequent occurrence. The system sources are divided into a number of branches: there is a branch corresponding to each release, known as a 'Release' or 'Security' branch, because the only permitted changes to it are security fixes; and there are two active development branches, known at the moment as 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT. There are also the old 1-STABLE, 2-STABLE and 3-STABLE branches as well, but those are essentially quiescent nowadays and mostly of historical interest. The 5.x release branches start out as snapshots of the 5-CURRENT branch, and the 4.x releases likewise of the 4-STABLE branch. 5-CURRENT is the real bleeding edge where there is no guarrantee that anything will work at any particular point and the code base is occasionally liable to sweeping and invasive changes. Only system developers should be running 5-CURRENT. 5.x releases are for testing the major new features introduced in 5-CURRENT: they offer a better user experience than raw 5-CURRENT but don't generally come up to the required standards of stability and performance you'ld normally expect from a FreeBSD release. 4-STABLE is the branch for tried and tested changes merged from the current branch. You should always be able to compile and run the latest 4-STABLE sources -- the 'STABLE' in the name does not imply 'unchanging' as the term does in some other projects, but that the system versions so labeled will run with a high level of stability. 4-STABLE is suitable for day-to-day use by ordinary users, although if you're betting your business on FreeBSD, one of the 4.x-RELEASE branches would usually be a better choice. Eventually the 5-CURRENT branch will reach a suitable level of refinement that it will be possible to create the 5-STABLE branch. That's intended to occur with the release of FreeBSD-5.3. Arround that point the current branch will be renamed 6-CURRENT and all of the major development works will be shifted there. 5-STABLE will become the principal target for merging in the tested changes and the releases branched from it will be recommended as the best versions of the OS to run. That's still several months away, at the minimum though. Work on 4-STABLE will gradually tail off and that branch will head for honourable retirement like it's predecessors. 3rd party software -- ports: essentially everything installed under /usr/local or /usr/X11R6 -- is built and updated completely independently of the development of the main system sources. There's only one ports tree and it serves 4-STABLE and any of the release branches, although limited resources mean that testing can only be done on the latest 4.x and 5.x release branches. You can always grab the latest ports tree and compile what you want from source: this generally gives the best results and it's easy enough even for inexperienced users. However, installing pre-compiled versions of the ports, called 'packages' will often be quicker. As complete a set of packages as possible is created to go with each release. Between releases, and as resources allow, updated packages are produced as new upstream versions of ported software appear -- you'll find those in the 'Latest' directories on the FTP sites. However, so long as you use packages compiled for a version of the OS with the same major version number, you should (in theory) be able to use those packages on other versions of the OS than the release they were compiled under. Unfortunately, that's something that cannot be entirely guarranteed. Ports/packages already installed on your system should continue to work even if you upgrade the base system. If you upgrade over a major version number, you will have to install compatibility libraries -- basically a copy of libc.so from an earlier version of the system. This way,

Both are available in ports -- if the term 'Milter' means anything to you, and you're fluent at C programming then adding a check on message size might be possible.

I have one of those cheap-o Linksys DHCP DSL/Cable routers that is acting as a network gateway. I have read through the sendmail configuration section of the FreeBSD handbook, and it appears that everything should pretty much be working fine out of the box. I guess my questions are: 1) How to I monitor the sendmail log 2) Do I need to do anything special with respect to DNS to get sendmail to be able to send outside of localhost Any help, guidance, de-dumbifying would be greatly appreciated.

Re: ez-ipupdate setup info needed
FBSD friends Installed ez-ipupdate package to use with zoneedit, but there is no setup information or description about how it works, and no zoneedit config example files. An explanation of how it works, how to activate and a working zoneedit conf file would really be great. If you installed it from ports try # /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate --help to get a list of options. Pay attention to the -S for your service. I would assume that you probably want this to run from boot. Check in /usr/local/etc for the ez-ipupdate.conf.sample and change it to suit your needs and /usr/local/etc/rc.d for the ez-ipupdate.sh. You may have to add ez_ipupdate_enable=YES to your /etc/rc.conf file.

RE: Sendmail Newbie Question
You can not use your FBSD sendmail server to send email to the public internet because you do not have officially registered domain name. You can install fetchmail to retrieve your email from your ISP and populate your gateway sendmail mail boxes. Then config your lan users mail clients to target your sendmail server to get their email. But really that is a lot of busy work unless you want to learn about how email works. What you should really do is config your lan users email clients to get their email directly from your ISP, side stepping sendmail completely.

I had a similar problem with an nvidia GeForce4 (Ti4200). Switching to console would make it hang while the letters on the console appeared very faint. Searching on the linux forum of the nvidia site I found people having the same problem as well as a workaround: put 'Option IgnoreDisplayDevices TV' in the 'Screen' section of XF86Config, disabling the TV-out. Also, this problem seems to be present only if a cable is connected to TV-out. (Yes I have a cable there but almost never use it - a working console is much more important for me.) I've tried the VESA, nv and nvidia drivers for X and all seem to exhibit this in one form or another. I've tried loading with and without the VESA driver at boot with no apparent difference. At the moment I'm using the nvidia drivers. That's different from what I observed: my problem would occur *only* with the nvidia driver, not with nv. Not sure about VESA but I don't recommend that driver anyway. Also, only if a cable is attached to TV-out. I don't have the link anymore but it shouldn't be too difficult to find it again on the nvidia site. Might be useful as I don't remember for what models of nvidia cards this was/is a problem. If I had to put money on what I think is happening I would say the card tells the monitor go into x by y mode at z refresh but the monitor can't handle that mode. However it doesn't tell the card it can't deal with it, but the card is waiting for the OK from the monitor before it tells the machine to carry on. That's what it looks like from where I'm sitting anyway. Hmm, if you have another machine and a network you could try to do a remote login and see if that works. If you succeed to login (ie. the machine is still alive but displays nothing on the screen), you might be able to bring it back killing X. The machine is a Compaq Proliant 800 (with embedded video which I've turned off on motherboard) The card is a Elsa Gladiac 511 PCI (with twin output + TV, I'm only interested in getting it to work with one output) FreeBSD is 5.2 and all ports are up to date as of this morning. Any pointers or suggestions welcomed. Not sure if this helps but I wish you good luck.

However, there are some differences from what you describe: - If I switch to text mode with ctrl-alt-f[1-8], there is no problem. - If I tell KDE to shut down and then _very_quickly_ do ctrl-alt-f1 I can cleanly exit from KDE. - I can reboot without powering down by using ctrl-alt-delete (which in a default install will do a clean shutdown and reboot). This avoids the fsck caused by powering down to reboot, and is safer for your filesystem.

I'm using Nvidia's driver. The default FreeBSD driver did not have this problem for me. It appears that I installed the Nvidia driver on Oct 13, but I don't know how to check what specific version it may be. Other than this problem, I've been quite happy with Nvidia's driver. I'm using it rather than the FreeBSD nv driver because I wanted support for dual-headed operation (TwinView). Any pointers or suggestions welcomed. I'm figuring that some day I will get annoyed enough that I will download a new version of the driver from Nvidia, and that by the time I do that, they will have fixed the problem. I don't know when that might be, though.

RE: ez-ipupdate setup info needed
Luke Thanks for your reply When I run ez-ipupdate --help or -help or help or ? it just goes to service prompt and if I hit enter again it displays msg to uses an list of names.

An explanation of how it works, how to activate and a working zoneedit conf file would really be great. If you installed it from ports try # /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate --help to get a list of options. Pay attention to the -S for your service. I would assume that you probably want this to run from boot. Check in /usr/local/etc for the ez-ipupdate.conf.sample and change it to suit your needs and /usr/local/etc/rc.d for the ez-ipupdate.sh. You may have to add ez_ipupdate_enable=YES to your /etc/rc.conf file.

SFTP vs. SCP and transfer rates
I know this question doesn't relate directly to FreeBSD, but because I use both sftp and scp on FreeBSD systems constantly, I thought someone here might know. If I sftp into a server and get a file, it usually transfers at about 1.2 KBps - regardless of interface, machine speed and connection speed. If I transfer a file via scp, it transfers at around 6.5 MBps on a gigabit link. If the link is slower, it still transfers at a rate many multiples of my sftp transfer. Is there a reason why one form works faster than the other? I remember someone once mentioning that sftp is really designed to run at a much slower rate than is available on many intranetwork connections these days. If this is true, is there a way to make changes? Is scp also limited by a number of speed factors? (Because even though it is much faster, it still is not necessarily moving at a speed my network gear is capable of.)

It's actually fairly easy to set sendmail up relay mail through your ISP's smtp server. See this page of the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-dialup.html Basically you need to set SMART_HOST and MASQUERADE_AS and rebuild sendmail.cf You still need fetchmail to retrieve mail from your ISP's pop/imap server, but outgoing mail can now be sent the way pine or mutt expect. If you are trying to use the FreeBSD box as a server for other hosts on the network you will need to set up DNS for your network. Andrew Boothman posted an example back on Jan. 22 that has example BIND config files you can use as an example. freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2352034+2356646+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/freebsd-questions/20040125.freebsd-questions You'll also need to install a mail server like imap-uw or qpopper so other hosts can retrieve mail from the FreeBSD box . You can install fetchmail to retrieve your email from your ISP and populate your gateway sendmail mail boxes. Then config your lan users mail clients to target your sendmail server to get their email. But really that is a lot of busy work unless you want to learn about how email works. What you should really do is config your lan users email clients to get their email directly from your ISP, side stepping sendmail completely. You will only use sendmail to receive email msgs to root from the FBSD operating system.

I found some sendmail logs in /var/log, but when I tail them, they are either blank or jibberish. My BSD server does not have a domain or a real IP. (for example the computer name is groovy.sockthief.com which cannot be resolved from the Internet, and the IP of the machine is 192.168.2.4). I have one of those cheap-o Linksys DHCP DSL/Cable routers that is acting as a network gateway. I have read through the sendmail configuration section of the FreeBSD handbook, and it appears that everything should pretty much be working fine out of the box. I guess my questions are: 1) How to I monitor the sendmail log 2) Do I need to do anything special with respect to DNS to get sendmail to be able to send outside of localhost Any help, guidance, de-dumbifying would be greatly appreciated.

hi, i'm a FreeBSD/*nix newbie, all self taught. I am trying to figure out if a certain scenario is possible. i have a mac osx machine and a freebsd 4.4 machine connected via a crossover cable for a small network. i have been able to figure out NFS, Apache, FTP etc. and so far it's really fun. what i'd like to be able to do is as follows: i have a modem on my bsd box and it connects via ppp to a dial-up isp. i would like to configure such that when i request an internet site from my mac, the bsd box dials up the isp and acts as a gateway until i'm done online, then disconnects... is this possible, is it really complicated? i know a windoze app. called WinProxy used to be available to do this. thanks --MM = Matthew, Kristina and Ethan McGraw Las Vegas, NV www.kickme.to/mcgrawfam __ Do you Yahoo!?
