can't run /sbin commands
When I first installed FreeBSD I was able to run halt and reboot as su without the full /sbin/reboot command. After adding a new path to PATH, I've been unable to run these commands without specifying the full path. Recently I tried to install acroread 7.0 and the installation complained I didn't have Linux ABI enabled. When I check /etc/rc.conf, I have: linux_enable=YES I noticed that when the system was trying to make install the acroread port, it issued the kldstat command - then gave me the error about not having linux ABI. kldstat can only run if the full path /sbin/kldstat is invoked. Here is the output of echo $PATH: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin: /usr/X11R6/bin:/home/Dave/bin:/usr/home/Dave/apache-forrest-0.7/bin My question is with /sbin in the path why do I have to specify /sbin/reboot, /sbin/kldstat etc.? Could this be causing my make install to fail? How can /sbin be in the path and still require a full path declaration for it's commands to work. regards, Dave ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could this be causing my make install to fail? How can /sbin be in the path and still require a full path declaration for it's commands to work. The short answer to your question is that if /sbin really were in your path you would be able to run programs from it, therefore /sbin is *not* in your path. (Since you can run commands from /sbin with full path names it can't be file permissions or deleted programs). Either that or something else on you path is somehow messing up your shell big-time, but that seems less likely. You say that the problems started after you changed you path (I assume in your .profile or whatever). So, quite simply, you must have made some kind of mistake. I would suggest going back to the file you edited and starting again. Comment out the PATH specification and add things back one at a time. Assuming a /bin/sh or derivative, you can re-load your file with . filename (for csh derivatives, use source filename). After each change you make, source the changes and see if you can run some innocuous program from /sbin such as kldstat. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

F2 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Default: F2 If I select F2, then I get FreeBSD. If I select F5 I get Windows! I.e. F5 gives me the same slice as does F1!!! (Drive1 is the extra IDE drive.) I can't blame Windows for this, since it never got booted. Also, if FBSD gets booted first, Windows doesn't (further) corrupt the MBR. Incidentally, rewriting the MBR with boot0cfg -B -o packet /dev/ad1 does not change anything. The F5 option is still there, and it still brings up the Windows that is on slice1. If I add a third IDE drive, the situation also remains the same. In particular, I don't get an F9 option. I know too little about your setup. Are you sure ad1 is your second disk? (There's nothing to stop you booting from any disk whatsoever if you BIOS allows, and many do). When you boot off F2, what does say df show?

Normally /bin lives in the same partition as / as it contains essential binaries. Normally you could run # mount -a Which will mount all filesystems in /etc/fstab, but because your /etc is on a different partition, presumably it is not already mounted. You have a catch-22. Maybe there is a clever use of the mount command to get the filesystem up (if you know the partition layout) but I suggest you re-install and put /etc, /bin and /dev on the / partition. /var should have its own partition so this is ok.

Re: Problem at first boot
Your partitioning is not correct. There is no point to put /bin and /etc on their own partitions as they take very small amount of room. I recommend to make another clean install and select Auto option when creating slices Usually separate partitions are recommended for the followind folders: /, /tmp, /usr, /var, /home and swap The purpose of separate partitions are that if one partition gets full then other partitoons have still room and the system can still run. For example if the user downloads files to the home directory, then only /home partition can be filled up but /, /usr, /var and /tmp partitions would still have some room and the system can function correctly. If there would be only one big / partition (totally legal and possible to have) then the user could fill that partiton up and system does not have room for logging and storing temporary files which might introduce unexpected behaviour. Hope this explains the reason of the partitoning (Actually slicing in FreeBSD as there is only one partition containing all the slices) and therefore you can figure out the layout by yourself. -- Rein Julien FOURNIER wrote: Hello, I'm a new FreeBsd (French) user, and after 3 days of none-working installs, I, now can boot my server with FreeBSD installed on it.

Re: Problem at first boot
BTW the reason of the booting problem is that kernel mounts / partition and expects to find /bin/sh from there but as the /bin is on separate partiton, then it fails. -- Rein Rein Kadastik wrote: Your partitioning is not correct.

If your ISP has given you 128 IPs, that is a /25 or netmask 255.255.255.128 as shown : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ipcalc 192.168.254.0/25 Address: 192.168.254.01100.10101000.1110.0 000 Netmask: 255.255.255.128 = 25 ...1 000 Wildcard: 0.0.0.127...0 111 = Network: 192.168.254.0/25 1100.10101000.1110.0 000 HostMin: 192.168.254.11100.10101000.1110.0 001 HostMax: 192.168.254.126 1100.10101000.1110.0 110 Broadcast: 192.168.254.127 1100.10101000.1110.0 111 Hosts/Net: 126 Class C, Private Internet So all your machines would have the same network and broadcast, and you would make them all use your gateway box as the default route. As you can see, a 255.255.255.255 netmask (/32) is only one host: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ipcalc 192.168.254.34/32 Address: 192.168.254.34 1100.10101000.1110.00100010 Netmask: 255.255.255.255 = 32 ...

First, when I ran apsfilter, I made sure a test page printed - then chose to add the new printer definition to my printcap file (before exiting SETUP).

proftpd + disable reverze UID/GID mapping
Hello *, I am using ProFTPd with MySQL authentication. Is possible to disable UID/GID mapping ? I can log into existing ftp account but when I use for example ftp command 'ls', connection is immediatedly terminated. The reason of termination is, that proftpd is trying to map UID/GID number to user/group names. In proftpd.conf I have: SQLUserInfoftp login password id + 1 as uid 1 as gid path NULL The error is obvious in SQL query ( /var/log/mysql.log ): Query SELECT login, password, id + 1 as uid, 1 as gid, path FROM ftp WHERE (id + 1 as uid = 0) LIMIT Is possible to disable this mapping ? 'PersistentPasswd off' seems doesn`t work.

Re: IPs , Netmasks and Broadcast.
Jerry, I see, you changed the real netmask in the second and third group to 255. Hmm, I went through this before, and unless I added 1 ip from each block with the real netmask, the ip wouldnt take. FYI when my ISP sends me a new block, they always give me the network, router, broadcas address etc and I run them through ip calc, and they are always correct. Either way, I better revisit the Handbook/Manpage as it seems that I am asking the same question(s) that I thought were answered 5 years ago...

PPP tunnel problem!
Hi, I am using the FreeBSD to become the NAS so that can provide PPPoE and PPP services to the clients which is worked with the Radius. I have successfully started the PPP and PPPoE services and connected to the internet with the authentication of the Radius. However, I face one serious problem. During the time the client was connecting to the internet, if the client unplugs the cable or shut down their PC without disconnection, the tunnel created was still remain in the NAS. This make the client cannot connect to the internet anymore as I set the radius not to allow any duplicated login. May I know is that anyway for the FreeBSD to kill the tunnel automatically when the client unplugs the cable or shutdown the PC without disconnection. I had tried the set timeout in the ppp.conf but I don't think this is the right solution. Please kindly reply. Thanks! Regards Felix ___ How much free photo storage do you get?

Trying to colour syslog-ng logs to ttyv7 but won't work after a reboot
I have a 5.4-STABLE server that I've reconfigured to use syslog-ng
instead of syslogd. It collects logs from all our servers and sorts
them into per-host folders.
Our network admin showed me his gentoo machine earlier which uses ccze
to colour log files as they scroll up the screen. He wanted a high-res
display with our whole network's logs scrolling in the background (as
much for the geek-porn factor as the usefulness).
After a lot of hacking and patching I managed to get the machine running
1024x768. I installed ccze, then modified syslog-ng.conf to use it as a
destination:
destination term { program(ccze -r /dev/ttyv7); };
I set syslog-ng to log all remote logs to this destination, and after
re-starting syslog-ng to reload the config, it worked fine. However,
for some reason way beyond me, it *will not work* after a reboot. I
have to restart syslog-ng after a reboot before it will log to the
virtual terminal.
Here is the startup script I created in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng.sh:
(the mountcritremote and cleanvar requirements I copied from the syslogd
file - I assume I want devfs to access /dev/ttyv7)
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: syslogng
# REQUIRE: devfs mountcritremote cleanvar
# BEFORE: SERVERS
. /etc/rc.subr
name=syslogng
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
required_files=/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
command=/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
Maybe this is some subtle quirk of the boot process that I haven't
understood. Can anybody help?
Cheers
Ashley

RE: IE in FreeBSD?
My opinion on WINE is that it merely harms people who are writing software for FreeBSD. If I write a wordprocessor for Linux or FreeBSD and try to sell it, why would a customer buy it when he can just use his Microsoft Word under Wine? As a result the existence of these programs discourages interest in native FreeBSD programs, and encourages people not to wholeheartedly switch over to FreeBSD. It also gives an excuse to software developers not to bother writing software for open source development since they can always run it on wine Ted I often hear this said, but I don't think it is true. As far as I can tell, there is essentially no commercial software written for FreeBSD (and very little for Linux) as it stands, and while the FOSS software has improved a great deal, much of that targeted for the desktop is either not good enough or simply does not exist at all. Wine will always be a compromise: some (but with hope, an increasing number of) important programs will work very well, some will perform with limited functionality which may be OK for a few selected tasks, and many or most will not work well enough if they work at all. They will also continue to be difficult to integrate with other desktop programs, even more so than Linux programs which are bad enough already. They simply are not a replacement for native programs unless no alternative exists. Your early proposed solution of running a remote desktop to run the real windows program also does not encourage writers to introduce a FreeBSD program version. Instead of saying run it on Wine, one could always say run it on a remote desktop. Old computers that may well be good enough for such occasional use are very inexpensive. Why then would anyone run a native version? I think that the best way to increase the number of native programs written for or ported to FreeBSD is to increase its market share, particularly on the desktop. The rapid acceptance of desktop-oriented versions of FreeBSD, such as PC-BSD and DesktopBSD, I find very heartening. But as long as the OS has such a small market share, we will have to rely on such non-optimal solutions such as qemu, Wine, CrossOver Office and the like. Sadly, I think this will be the case for the near-term future of a few years at least. It will likely be longer. In the short term, I have work to do that requires windows programs, or at least the function of certain windows programs. Not IE, as the original poster of this thread, but others that are common in the Windows world. I'd like to use a single computer and its tools for this purpose -- the workflow is so much more convenient. As it stands, I cannot turn wholeheartedly to FreeBSD until I can perform the sort of tasks I need to -- I will always need a Windows box for too many things otherwise. And I certainly can't subject my employees to this situation, unless they are Unix heads like me. That's why I started the petition to CodeWeavers to port CrossOver Office to BSD. That product may not be the perfect solution, but it would sure help me a lot with most of the needs I have now. That petition is located at http://www.bsdnexus.com/petition.asp and to date we have nearly 900 signatories. If you have not signed, I would encourage you to do so.

Re: IPs , Netmasks and Broadcast.
Jerry, I see, you changed the real netmask in the second and third group to 255. No, I changed the alias' netmask, not the real one. Hmm, I went through this before, and unless I added 1 ip from each block with the real netmask, the ip wouldnt take. FYI when my ISP sends me a new block, they always give me the network, router, broadcas address etc and I run them through ip calc, and they are always correct. Either way, I better revisit the Handbook/Manpage as it seems that I am asking the same question(s) that I thought were answered 5 years ago... that is always a good idea. jerry Thanks for the help Jerry, -Grant - Original Message - From: Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; John Oxley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 9:31 AM Subject: Re: IPs , Netmasks and Broadcast.

I changed one thing in each group. Also, if you have a block of 128, your main mask would probably not be 255.255.2555.0. I think it would be 255.255.255.128. Anyway, all the aliases for any one NIC card must be 255.255.255.255. arplookup xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx failed: host is not on local network Probably because the ifconfig didn't work right with the wrong netmasks. -Grant P.S. This is a small block, only 30 ips. The other 29, including 1 with the real netmask, is on another machine working fine, right beside the machine I am referencing.

I have a 5.4-STABLE server that I've reconfigured to use syslog-ng

Our network admin showed me his gentoo machine earlier which uses ccze
to colour log files as they scroll up the screen. He wanted a
high-res display with our whole network's logs scrolling in the
background (as much for the geek-porn factor as the usefulness).
After a lot of hacking and patching I managed to get the machine
running 1024x768. I installed ccze, then modified syslog-ng.conf to
use it as a destination:
destination term { program(ccze -r /dev/ttyv7); };
I set syslog-ng to log all remote logs to this destination, and after
re-starting syslog-ng to reload the config, it worked fine. However,
for some reason way beyond me, it *will not work* after a reboot. I
have to restart syslog-ng after a reboot before it will log to the
virtual terminal.
Here is the startup script I created in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng.sh:
(the mountcritremote and cleanvar requirements I copied from the
syslogd file - I assume I want devfs to access /dev/ttyv7)
#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: syslogng
# REQUIRE: devfs mountcritremote cleanvar

required_files=/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
command=/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
Maybe this is some subtle quirk of the boot process that I haven't
understood. Can anybody help?
The requirements like BEFORE: SERVERS are not honoured by scripts in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d. Try placing the script in /etc/rc.d calling it say
syslogng (i.e. without the .sh).
man rc has more info, as would scanning back through the freebsd-rc
archives. I believe that work to make scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
work more like system scripts will appear sometime in 6.X, though full
integration is, I believe, not expected until 7.X.
Right now, your syslogng will be being started *after* lots of servers
that might expect to talk to it. I assume you put syslogng_enable=YES
into /etc/rc.conf? as well as syslogd_enable=NO. (Or, it might work
just to change syslogd_program=/path/to/syslogngd and not bother with

keeping CPU usage low

The problem is with one my computers which has a buggy CPU. No matter how many or how powerful fans I install, when there's a CPU usage of 100% for over ~5 minutes it just overheats and crashes the system. If the CPU usage on average never exceeds, say, 80%, the system keeps functioning just fine. Therefore it'd be a shame to throw the cpu out just for this reason. So is it possible to make the kernel always keep CPU usage lower than some value? Maybe without hacking the source?

This will confuse gmirror, and you will have to load and use gmirror to clear it out. (or zero the entire disk with dd if=/dev/zero.) Read the man pages on gmirror in any case!!!

FreeBSD 5.4 Custom CD making...
Hi, I wanted to create a custom FreeBSD 5.4, which will include my needed packages, and the partition type(ie / , /var, /usr and the partition size) what I prefix, this will not ask user with sysinstall options, if needed only root password. In short making my own distro. I hope some one have this valuable info.. - How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo! Photos. Get Yahoo!

Re: Software RAID1
So can I assume that these instructions will work with any device? I realized that I didn't double check this: especially in the line for the boot loader where ad(1,a) -- da(1,a). I didn't double check that. I'll follow through the instructions again and make the correct change this time and we'll see what happens. I don't have a problem until I have to reboot. That is when the instructions want you to dd the first disk then add the first disk to the gm0 mirror. Both commands give me errors. THe dd command right after reboot gives command not allowed. And the gmirror add command give can't access provider. I'll try again and let the list know what happens.

building/porting linux SIS965L driver
I'm building (or trying to build) an amd64 FreeBSD machine to replace my FreeBSD 4.4 server. I purchased an ASUS Vintage-AE1 MB that uses the following chipsets: Northbridge: SiS760GX Southbridge: SiS965L I've not been able to get the on-board NIC to light up, so I purchased another NIC which works alright. It's bothering me too much that the chipset isn't supported (http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html) but many of the other ASUS MB chipsets are. This seems like a great machine and I suspect there are plenty more machines that will be using this barebones box as a starting place (of course, I'll be wrong in a year anyways). I've found the linux driver for the on-board NIC and since I've never ported a driver for FreeBSD, I'm trying to figure out how much work it will be to port the driver to FreeBSD-6.0? I've snooped around in the /usr/src/sys/pci/if_sis.c /usr/src/sys/pci/if_sisreg.h 6.0Beta4 files to simply examine the bsd code. To my novice eyes, the files look completely different from the linux drivers and I'm not sure I can takle this myself since I've never done anything like this. Can someone help me through this process, or is this not worth the trouble? Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Forest Informatics, Inc.

Re: IE in FreeBSD?
On Sep 15, 2005, at 7:23 AM, Frank Jahnke wrote: My opinion on WINE is that it merely harms people who are writing software for FreeBSD. If I write a wordprocessor for Linux or FreeBSD and try to sell it, why would a customer buy it when he can just use his Microsoft Word under Wine? Because it's an industry standard. Unless you come up with a better product and convince the masses to switch, people aren't really as willing to learn new software albeit the fact that it may be better in terms of features/functionality. As a result the existence of these programs discourages interest in native FreeBSD programs, and encourages people not to wholeheartedly switch over to FreeBSD. It also gives an excuse to software developers not to bother writing software for open source development since they can always run it on wine Not true. Running Wine means I don't have to have Windows installed and thus I don't have to dualboot my machine or use a true emulator like vmware, qemu, etc to have to run a copy of Windows on top of FreeBSD. I often hear this said, but I don't think it is true. As far as I can tell, there is essentially no commercial software written for FreeBSD (and very little for Linux) as it stands, and while the FOSS software has improved a great deal, much of that targeted for the desktop is either not good enough or simply does not exist at all. True in some respects, IMHO. Wine will always be a compromise: some (but with hope, an increasing number of) important programs will work very well, some will perform with limited functionality which may be OK for a few selected tasks, and many or most will not work well enough if they work at all. They will also continue to be difficult to integrate with other desktop programs, even more so than Linux programs which are bad enough already. They simply are not a replacement for native programs unless no alternative exists. Very true. That's why I mentioned the fact that installing and running IE is very difficult under Wine. In effect it's so much of a pain in the ass I wouldn't even bother to be honest, but some people need ActiveX, etc like I mentioned before. Your early proposed solution of running a remote desktop to run the real windows program also does not encourage writers to introduce a FreeBSD program version. Instead of saying run it on Wine, one could always say run it on a remote desktop. Old computers that may well be good enough for such occasional use are very inexpensive. Why then would anyone run a native version? Yes. Waste of power and hardware if you ask me because I would rather devote a machine to a greater series of tasks as opposed to running an OS which I don't really need except for a few programs. The purpose of my email previous was not to invoke people's unhappiness and spite against Microsoft; I am in fact very anti- Microsoft (or a better way to phrase it would be pro-Mac/-Unix?) since I believe the Windows is getting more and more bloated as time progresses and is very limiting by design. However, keeping that in mind one must realize that one solution does not fit all problems and as such I don't think it's right to forget that there are many options available in Windows in terms of applications that may be better suited to solving a problem or less time consuming to use. Besides, a lot of people I know don't share our enthusiasm for Unix and will stick by Windows no matter what.

NMAP probing of network ports
Hello:
How do I cause freeBSD 5.4 to not respond to an nmap
inquiry? I have already tried creating a line in rc.firewall
that says:
${fwcmd} deny all from any to any
${fwcmd} drop all from any to any
I know these are active, since 1) I see them on the screen
at startup, and 2) pinging from any computer to any computer
results in a timeout.
(both of these should drop all TCP packets; but apparently,
they cause a RESET message to be sent.)
I've also tried adding the following to sysctl.conf:
net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2
net.inet.udp.blackhole=1
Again, these don't seem to prevent my freeBSD from sending a
packet (probably a RESET or UNREACHABLE-HOST ack).
Once the person sending the nmap to this machine has the IP,
its a simple step for them to ip-flood this machine; or
worse.
How do I make freeBSD not acknowledge the fingerprint from
nmap?
Thanks in advance.
Harold.

Hi, I want to replace a computer running FreeBSD 3.2 with one running FreeBSD 5.3. The 3.2 computer is currently used as a web server and a DNS server. I have installed FreeBSD 5.3 and am currently adding the Apache2.50 port. Once I add the Apache web server and Bind, can I then just copy config files from the old system to the new one? With Apache: can I copy httpd.conf from the old system to the new then move my htdocs directory to the new system? For Bind, could I just copy named.conf from the old system to the new then copy my zone files over to the new system? Thanks, Lisa Casey -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

One thing to note is that if you have a listening server, nmap
will always get a response regardless of whether or not you want it
to because that's how servers function (unless you block the traffic
completely which is silly because then no one could connect to your
machine from anywhere). As for ICMP traffic, you should block ICMP if
you don't want to send ping replies, etc.

Re: IE in FreeBSD
Sorry I can't continue this as a thread -- I get this as a digest and unless I'm copied, I can't. My opinion on WINE is that it merely harms people who are writing software for FreeBSD. If I write a wordprocessor for Linux or FreeBSD and try to sell it, why would a customer buy it when he can just use his Microsoft Word under Wine? Because it's an industry standard. Unless you come up with a better product and convince the masses to switch, people aren't really as willing to learn new software albeit the fact that it may be better in terms of features/functionality. One thing that is overlooked is that office and other professional software is much, much more than Microsoft Office. How about complete Acrobat, AutoCAD, electronic laboratory notebooks, solids modeling, laboratory information management systems, LabView, and ... and ... FOSS seems to do alright with entertainment software (music, videos, IM, RSS and so forth) but is woefully deficient in so many other areas. I give one practical example in my interview with Dru at http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/7731 Not true. Running Wine means I don't have to have Windows installed and thus I don't have to dualboot my machine or use a true emulator like vmware, qemu, etc to have to run a copy of Windows on top of FreeBSD. Absolutely. Dual booting is so inconvenient that it simply is not worth it for me. And for workflow reasons I'd really rather run every application from the same desktop. Wine will always be a compromise: some (but with hope, an increasing number of) important programs will work very well, some will perform with limited functionality which may be OK for a few selected tasks, and many or most will not work well enough if they work at all. They will also continue to be difficult to integrate with other desktop programs, even more so than Linux programs which are bad enough already. They simply are not a replacement for native programs unless no alternative exists. Very true. That's why I mentioned the fact that installing and running IE is very difficult under Wine. In effect it's so much of a pain in the ass I wouldn't even bother to be honest, but some people need ActiveX, etc like I mentioned before. Wine is indeed difficult, and it usually requires a lot of futzing with DLLs and such to get acceptable installations. That's once you get the program installed from the source disk in the first place, which is often not trivial. That's the area where CodeWeavers' product can really help. Old computers that may well be good enough for such occasional use are very inexpensive. Why then would anyone run a native version? Yes. Waste of power and hardware if you ask me because I would rather devote a machine to a greater series of tasks as opposed to running an OS which I don't really need except for a few programs. Agreed (again). I use an old PIII with a small monitor for some of these applications. It just seems silly to waste a BSD machine with dual monitors and dual CPUs. The purpose of my email previous was not to invoke people's unhappiness and spite against Microsoft; I am in fact very anti- Microsoft (or a better way to phrase it would be pro-Mac/-Unix?) It does seem like the Mac is a good way to go to get a reasonable form of Unix and a decent selection of commercial software. Unless I can get the software situation improved (like with CrossOver Office), that is really my only option.

Yes. Only, someone can issue a denial-of-service attack against an
IP without bothering to nmap-scan it, first. Nothing short of
upstream intervention by your ISP can prevent a true DoS attack from
flooding your inbound pipe's bandwidth.
Trying to prevent a DoS is not an especially useful thing to spend
lots of time on, you would be better served by creating an effective
security policy and setting up an appropriate firewall architecture,
including a redundant connection if the cost of downtime justifies
the expense.
How do I make freeBSD not acknowledge the fingerprint from
nmap?
Set up a firewall to block access to all ports but the ones you need
for internet-reachable services. You can recognize nmap traffic by
the TCP option string of WNMTE; you can recognize nmap OS
identification and the Xmas scan variants by TCP flag combinations
of SE (SYN | ECE), FPU (FIN | PUSH | URG), and FSPU...

Mail question
Hello. I'm student from Latvia. I'd like to ask you a question about Postfix mail system under FreeBSD. I have such problem: target is to allow user to change his mail account's password by himself. For example, I set password for his account, and maybe, user doesn't want me to know this password, so he'd like to change it! The question is: HOW? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. -- Best regards, Alexander Bogdanov (GSM: +3716100890). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Can I do this?
Hi, I want to replace a computer running FreeBSD 3.2 with one running FreeBSD 5.3. The 3.2 computer is currently used as a web server and a DNS server. I have installed FreeBSD 5.3 and am currently adding the Apache2.50 port. Once I add the Apache web server and Bind, can I then just copy config files from the old system to the new one? With Apache: can I copy httpd.conf from the old system to the new then move my htdocs directory to the new system? For Bind, could I just copy named.conf from the old system to the new then copy my zone files over to the new system? For the most part, yes. But, you might have to tweak some things. Some system config files have moved.You will want to read up on things before trying this. Note that Apache will probably install in a different place now than that old version did and the startup for utilities is now all in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. In addition, Perl is no longer installed by default. You will have to do it from ports. As long as you are completely redoing the machines, why not go with the most recent release of FreeBSD? That would be 5.4. It is an improvement over 5.3. jerry Thanks, Lisa Casey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
livecd problems - won't mount root
Hello I'm trying to build a web server with FreeBSD 4.11 that runs off of a CD rather than a hard disk. I'm trying to make an iso using livecd 1.2.4b and the install goes well, but when I try to boot the system from the iso I get the mountroot prompt. Here is the fstab file that I put in the live_root install directory prior to the iso generation: # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/acd0c / cd9660 ro,noatime 0 0 /dev/ad0s1f /tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /varufs rw 2 2 proc/proc procfs rw 0 0 I would like the hard drive to be used for logfiles, tmp files, etc. But, I would like the rest of the system to boot off of the cdrom, and then keep running off the cdrom image. Is there something I am doing wrong?

problem with ipsec and sendmail
I don't know if this is the right list, but here goes: I'm having trouble with an ipsec implementation. The ipsec part works fine, but now that it's set up, mail does not pass between the machines in question. I have set up ipsec on two machines, both connected to the internet. Machine A is supposed to relay mail to Machine B, but mail just queues on Machine A. sendmail tries to relay the mail, but the connections time out. I'm able to pass mail manually (by telnetting to sendmail on the remote machine and issuing SMTP commands directly) and that works. sendmail also passes mail normally if I take disable ipsec. With ipsec enabled, all of my network tests between Machine A and Machine B succeed (ping, telnet, ssh). Machine A is running FBSD 4.10, B is running 4.8. Simple google searches did not yield any useful information. Please let me know what other details of my implementation you would find pertinent, if any. I wanted to keep the SNR high.
