Re: Why do you use a devil as a mascot?
2010/11/11 José Silveira jmlsilve...@gmail.com Why do you use a devil as a mascot? For me it is nonsense... It makes Christians, Jwishes and Muslins run away! Jose, So many have replied already and I truthfully haven't read each post. I did want to say something about this though since I am a Christian. Early on I was a little troubled. However, this was due, not to some tennent of the faith but rather to my ignorance of my own faith and immaturity. The reality is, that mascot for FreeBSD has nothing whatsoever to do with Satan.

You start out with installing the /usr/ports/print/cups metaport and this should pull in a few other sub ports as dependencies. The port cups-pstoraster is what coverts postscript print output into PCL, utilizing (IIRC) one of the ghostscript ports. Perhaps your install may be incomplete.

Installing gimp from ports, need a GTK+, what port is it
HI, I'm installing gimp from ports. I've recently done a csup on my ports tree and was happily working through the issues that were coming up while installing.

How long does it take to compile KDE4
Hi I'm trying to install in KDE 4 and it's been stuck on Generating k3iconviewsearchline.moc for about 4 hours now. My box is a an amd64 (running amd64 kernel) 1.8ghz w/1gb RAM. I know that this request is quite relative based on hard hardware and such, but from those who have installed KDE4 from ports, can you give me the times it took you to compile? There are two reasons I haven't stopped the process yet. First, it's not acting like it's stuck, e.g. top shows that the system is 0.0% idle and the process, automoc4, isn't steady on a specific number it keeps going from ~92% - ~98% WCPU usage. This would seem to indicate that it's not stuck in a loop doing the same thing over and over but is really doing some work. Second, I've been around long enough to know that sometimes you just have to wait . . . a long time. Any ideas on time to compile would be good.

Setting up gmirror
Hi, I've just finished setting up a new web server, and if I get my DNS stuff correct hopefully an e-mail server too, for my church. Originally, the intention was to use RAID1 on the MOBO. However, the RAID controller on the MOBO consistently tried to make the SATA DVD drive part of the RAID array and wouldn't boot the FreeBSD boot disk. So, at the suggestion of another respondent here, I've decided to use gmirror. Now, it seems that gmirror is, perhaps, newer to FreeBSD than the software RAID stuff in the Handbook. That mentions ccd(4) and doesn't make any mention of gmirror(8). It seems like gmirror is rather easy to work with, and more important, easy to recover from is hardware fails. In any event, I want to make sure I'm understanding the manual page correctly because I don't have anything else to test this on except the churches computer. We have two Seagate 250gb SATA drives. Identical drive models so their sizes are the same. Is this the command, from gmirror(8), the one I'll want to use? Create a mirror on disk with valid data (note that the last sector of the disk will be overwritten). Add another disk to this mirror, so it will be synchronized with existing disk: gmirror label -v -b round-robin data da0 gmirror insert data da1 Though in my case, da0 and da1 will be ad4 and ad5. This seems to be the one I'm looking for, I'm just scared of wiping out more than I bargain for. Andy -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

The consequences of turning off sendmail
This question comes from complete ignorance about this stuff (what happens when turning off sendmail), but if I turn off sendmail will system messages still get delivered? Also, I'm going to be using this box as a web server and I'm using Joomla!. If I turn this off, will I still get the notifications that new users have signed on, etc.? I'd like to turn it off because the box doesn't sit inside of a fully qualified domain (it sits inside a 192.168.x/24 network), but will host web services for www.whitneybaptist.org. Obviously, requests sent to 72.24.34.252 on port 80 are forwarded to this box (actually, internally it's 192.168.2.23). Also, (for those who have endured helping me work through the issues with our mail server) until I get things worked out with DNS this new server will not be hosting e-mail for this domain (whitneybaptist.org), that's temporarily being done at google mail. So, basically, what sort of trouble am I going to get into by turning off sendmail? Also, I think I'm going to implement DNS, an internal thing, to make this box happy and then point the resolver to use the Internet DNS servers for everything else.

You can turn off the Sendmail daemon so that it does not actually listen for incoming connections or act as an MTA in the conventional sense. But local utilities like cron can still invoke the /usr/sbin/sendmail command to send you notifications. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-December/107610.html Thanks, just wanted to make sure before doing it.

Can't build all in /usr/src/crypto/openssh
Hi, I've just updated my sources for 6.2-RELEASE. It took me from p11 to p12. The changes were quite minor. Only changes were to UPDATING (obviously), channels.c in the openssh directory and a newvers.sh file in /usr/src/conf. So, instead of rebuilding world, since the UPDATING notes say that the changes only affect sshd, I'm following the instructions in the handbook for section, 23.4.14.1. Do I need to re-make the world for every change?. The instructions state, ... go to the appropriate sub-directories and make all install. However, when I do this I get, make: don't know how to make all. Stop. So, what do I tell it to do?

Re: Can't build all in /usr/src/crypto/openssh
Bad choice of words on my part. It won't rebuild openssl, if you still
have /usr/obj/usr/src/* from last time. But it will go through the motions to
see if stuff needs to be rebuilt. It will only rebuild libssh and anything
that uses libssh:
# find . -name 'Makefile' -exec grep channels.c {} \+
./secure/lib/libssh/Makefile: canohost.c channels.c cipher.c cipher-acss.c
cipher-aes.c \
# find . -name 'Makefile' -exec grep -l 'DPADD.*LIBSSH' {} \+
./lib/libpam/modules/pam_ssh/Makefile
./secure/libexec/sftp-server/Makefile
./secure/libexec/ssh-keysign/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/scp/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/sftp/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-add/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-agent/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-keygen/Makefile
./secure/usr.bin/ssh-keyscan/Makefile
./secure/usr.sbin/sshd/Makefile
The pam module is the only one outside secure that depends on libssh.

Neophyte question, no doubt, but googling was less than helpful (which probably means I'm fubar, no doubt). Anyway, I have a certain common X app (xmms) that likes to hang (since my last buildworld, it seems) when when it's right about to open a file-choosing dialog. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot. Now, given the behavior, I'd have to suspect something underlying as the true source of the problem, but shouldn't kill kill it anyway - I mean, isn't there some way to kill a process that's stuck waiting on a child process? I haven't figured out how to ps -ax grep | some neublous file dialog process yet...so I'm sort of stuck wanting to kill the parent... I remember the first time this happened to me. I was stunned. I thought kill -9 (or kill -KILL) would kill any process. Even the manual page for kill, kill(1), says that this signal is non-catchable, non-ignorable. In my experience, there's only one condition that will cause this (perhaps those more experienced here than I know of others). This can happen when your process blocks on pending file I/O. The process opens a file descriptor, could even be a socket, and leaves it marked as blocking. The kernel then blocks the process while awaiting I/O in the buffers. In this blocked state, the signal is prevented from being delivered. If you left the process open long enough, perhaps assuming it's not completely hung, the process would get what it's waiting for (hopefully), then move on. At that very moment, the kill signal would be delivered and the process would die (as you wanted it to so very long ago when you delivered that signal to it). I don't run xmms so perhaps some other kind soul here will know what's going on. However, that's why your process didn't die.

I wanted to clear up something you may, or may not, know about NFS and that is that there isn't really a connection. Unless the behaviour changed in FBSD 7, when mounting NFS; UDP is used. UDP is a connectionless protocol in the IP suite of protocols. Because of this, detecting a lost connection is rather problematic. Usually, timeouts are used when sending new information, or requesting something from the server. I'd read through the mount_nfs(8) manual page just to be sure of options that may help out in this case. The -c -t -D and some others looked rather promising. In my experience, it's usually pretty difficult to unmount an unresponsive NFS mount. In fact, *and only because of the environment in which I was working*, I usually ended up rebooting my box. This is because I didn't want to wait for the timeouts (painfully slow in some default configurations; upwards of 10 minutes or more). This probably isn't feasible if your system hosts services for other clients.

Also, to any knowledgable souls here, what RFCs address these issues? Hello again, Andy. What you're asking is actually a FAQ, but I'll spell things out anyway. The following excerpt from RFC 1918 is most relevant: If an enterprise uses the private address space, or a mix of private and public address spaces, then DNS clients outside of the enterprise should not see addresses in the private address space used by the enterprise, since these addresses would be ambiguous. One way to ensure this is to run two authority servers for each DNS zone containing both publically and privately addressed hosts. One server would be visible from the public address space and would contain only the subset of the enterprise's addresses which were reachable using public addresses. The other server would be reachable only from the private network and would contain the full set of data, including the private addresses and whatever public addresses are reachable the private network. In order to ensure consistency, both servers should be configured from the same data of which the publically visible zone only contains a filtered version. There is certain degree of additional complexity associated with providing these capabilities. That's a roundabout way of saying you can't mix and match private non-routable addresses with public addresses in the same namespace. Note the authoritative part. Until CableOne delegates your assigned netblock to your organisation, your public DNS server will not be authoritative (it currently isn't!) for 72.24.34.252. You can reference RFC 2317 (classless in-addr.arpa delegation) for how that works. As to why you must be authoritative, I've already pointed out off-list how Bad Things can happen when you're not, especially in regards to email where reverse lookups are integral to How Things Work. I could be wrong, but I think they've done something like this. I administered DNS on an OpenBSD machine (2 of them actually) back in 2000-2001. Since then, I've done nothing with DNS administration. I'm wondering what I need to get from CableOne to get this done.

What problems are you having on the mail server that lead you to the above conclusion? Clients in the churches private network cannot send mail using this server, though they can receive mail from it (POP). The church has a private network, PN1, and the mail server sits at a church members house because he has a static IP address; let's call that PN2. The router at his house is setup to forward traffic over port 25, and the POP port, to this server. Also, just to further clarify, the Internet separates these two Private Networks. However, this may not be entirely true as I think about it because at both locations, the ISP is CableOne using cable broadband. So, though technically part of the Internet, the traffic shouldn't leave the CableOne domain. Also, of interest, is that another of our pastors uses CableOne at home and is unable to send e-mail using the churches server from home. However, from a coffee shop in town, that our pastors frequent, they are able to send mail. It is my understanding that this coffee shop does not use CableOne. So, just to make sure everyone's got it, the mail server sits in PN2. While diagnosing this, I connect to the server (using Putty) from a machine in PN1, using either a mail client or telnet I'm unable to make a connection to the mail server over port 25. Using tcpdump during this putty session I do not even see the SYN packets for the start of the connection from the machines in PN1. This is only when connecting to port 25. Obviously, I can connect to the server because I'm using putty. Also, I can see the SYN packets for the start of the connection when this same machine in PN1 attempts to connect to port 80. The problem seems to be when trying to connect over port 25. For some reason, the packets aren't being delivered to that address (72.24.34.252). This happens if I try to telnet to mail.whitneybaptist.org or telnet to 72.24.34.252 on port 25. The packets aren't being delivered. They're being sent somewhere else, or lost in digital purgatory. Now, from home (my home) let's call this PN3, I can send/receive mail using the church e-mail server. I, however, don't use CableOne. Are there routers that route traffic based on port number? It's almost as if traffic, that originates within the CableOne domain and travels through, but not outside, the CableOne domain, doesn't get routed to the correct address when it's destined for port 25.

mail server DNS configuration questions
Hi, Well, my clients at church are still having issues and after working with George, a respondant to my original questions, I think that most, if not all, of my problems are related to DNS and how we've got it improperly configured. First, a crude drawing of how our mail server exists in the world: 192.168.2.x/24 72.24.23.252 lot's of networks Private Network -- CableOne -- Internet Now, our mail server's IP is 192.168.2.23. On the router, he (the person at whose house the mail server is) has IP forwarding setup so that mail get's sent to our FreeBSD machine. Using dig, here's the responses: (from my FBSD machine at home, not the server) [/usr/home/andy] - dig +short -t MX whitneybaptist.org 10 mail.whitneybaptist.org. [/usr/home/andy] - dig +short -t A whitneybaptist.org 72.24.34.252 [/usr/home/andy] - dig +short -x 72.24.34.252 34-252.72-24-cpe.cableone.net.

I'm thinking that I should setup a domain within the 192.168.2.0/24 network on this box. I've done this before, at work. The question I've got is I've never actually integrated a domain like this to a domain on the Internet. I'm thinking that we'll setup something like: internal.whitneybaptist.org with hosts in that sub-domain. So, what would my DNS tables need to look like to make this happen. Also, to any knowledgable souls here, what RFCs address these issues?

SATA, RAID and AHCI
Hi, As I mentioned in response to a thread started by someone wanting drivers for a Realtek 8111c NIC, I'm building a server for our church. We purchased an ASUS motherboard, M3A78 PRO (in case it matters or anyone cares). Everyone is already aware of FreeBSD's lack of driver support for the RTL8111c NIC which, unfortunately, is embedded on this MOBO. This question is about the storage settings for this board (ASUS' name for it is Storage Configuration). In the CMOS (or whatever it's called these days, just out of curiousity, will FreeBSD support things like OpenBoot or UEFI on i386, sorry for the digression), I found where to turn the Storage Configuration, as ASUS calls it, from IDE, to RAID, or AHCI. It's currently set to IDE because when set to RAID the MOBO apparently kept trying to put the SATA DVD drive as part of the RAID and when set to AHCI mode the install had hundreds of, can't create symlink, no inodes free, during the copying of the files into the newly created file systems. Now, I'm a complete neophyte to making these SATA RAID systems. What's the magic to making it work, and how do you keep the DVD drive from being part of the RAID? Also, what should be done for AHCI mode? It looked as though in this mode the drives would perform *much* faster.

[dhcpd] BOOTP from dynamic client and no dynamic leases
Hi,
If I had hair I'd be pulling it out now. I cannot find adequate help
anywhere as yet for this issue. I've installed the ISC dhcpd program
from ports and am struggling to get it setup properly. As I mentioned
in my other e-mail, I cannot share the contents of my configuration
file. I'm sorry, I really wished I could. What I have is this
(censored for host names and IP addresses):
not authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
deny unknown-clients;
allow bootp;
use-host-decl-names on;
subnet 192.168.24.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 {
# this server will only host bootp, thus the range is left out
#leases
default-lease-time 6000;
max-lease-time 6000;
option subnet-mask 255.255.248.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168..31.255;
option routers 192.168.24.1;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.51;
option domain-name internal.domain;
}
host host1 {
option host-name host1;
hardware ethernet 00:01:a2:4a:cc:af;
fixed-address 192.168.27.0;
}
That's all of the globals in use by this server and a single host
entry (there are 44 hosts using the range 192.168.27.0-192.168.27.43).
I do not know what is causing my problem. The dhcpd server starts so
I know there are no syntactic problems with my configuration file, but
it's not answering requests for IP addresses. When I start the
server, dhcpd -d, I get many lines with the test, BOOTP from dynamic
client and no dynamic leases. Also, because of how things are
configured for the subnet I'm on, I cannot allow this server to
respond to other DHCP requests. It can only service the small range
of 44 that I've been allocated.
The clients use bootp for this and although they are not booting
anything from this server, or any other, bootp is used. Whether or
not this is a good, or proper use, of bootp I know not. I didn't set
it up, but it is what I have to use. Can anyone here offer me any
ideas about what the problem might be?
From looking through the dhcpd.conf file I've found a configuration
option for pool clauses that's something like this:
lease limit N;
but I don't think this is what I'm looking for. First off, it seems
to only apply to pools and I'm not using any pools. Secondly, it
would only help if the assumption is correct that without this
statement the server defaults to a lease limit of 0. This, I don't
believe, is the case from what I've read in this man page.
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks,
Andy

having problems with dhcpd and bootp clients
Hi,
dhcpd starts so I know that there are no problems with my
configuration file (at least syntax, I suppose that a semantic error
may still be present). Running dhcpd with the -d option shows this
string being placed on stderr:
BOOTREQUEST from MAC via fxp0: BOOTP from dynamic client and no dynamic leases
Now, what's confusing is that the MAC for this client is one in which
I've specifically called out in /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf. This is a
work machine so I can't share the config file with you (sorry I know
that will make it difficult to help). This DHCP server can't hand out
any addresses dynamically so I've prevented that from happening. It's
only purpose is to hand out a small block of IP addresses that my team
uses within a much larger subnet.
None of these clients are DHCP clients, they are only BOOTP. These
clients aren't actually trying to boot over the network they're just
getting an address. (Yes, this probably isn't the best way, or the
correct way, of doing this but I didn't set it up but I must use it).
So, the long and the short of it is that our older BOOTP server has
died and I'm trying to get something in place to keep us functioning.
From the manual page for dhcpd(8)
subnet 239.252.197.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 239.252.197.10 239.252.197.250;
}
If a subnet will only be provided with BOOTP service and no dynamic
address assignment, the range clause can be left out entirely, but the
subnet statement must appear.
So, I have:
subnet mysubnet netmask thenetmask {
}
Then, all of the host entries are:
host host1 {
option host-name host1;
hardware ethernet the MAC;
fixed-address the IP to give this client;
}
I noticed that the manual page shows this for a bootp client:
host haagen {
hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:59:23;
fixed-address 239.252.197.9;
filename /tftpboot/haagen.boot;
}
The verbiage used in the paragraph right above this example, in the
man page, would lead one to believe that the filename option used in
the host declarator isn't necessary, but never the less it is
different than what I have and I wanted to ask.
I haven't been able to track it down as yet but I'm thinking that my
problem probably isn't with my host declarator sections. It probably
has something to do with an option to the configuration that I haven't
found yet. I'm going to keep looking, but it was time to ask for some
help too.
This is all running on a FreeBSD 6.2p11 box.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Andy

[Off Topic] Clients still not connecting to the FreeBSD mail server
Hi, Thanks again everyone for the pointers with Outlook and my fellow church parishoners. I'm hoping for some more pointers. Using tcpdump I'm fairly certain that the initial SYN packets from the clients are never reaching the server. I'll need to test one more time to be sure (I wasn't 100% positive of the public IP address on the Internet side of the cable modem installed). Never the less, from home here I've verified what I should see if the initial SYN packets are received at the server and now know what to look for. (Who knows, maybe the wireless router knows it's in a church and has decided no SYN's allowed. Ok, that was bad.) What I'm hoping to glean from the experts here is about wireless routers. I've never used them before, but one of the pastors was reasonably certain that the problems commenced for the one person who never had problems, the secretary, when she was switched from wired to wireless operations. Sunday I was briefly able to see the administration pages of the wireless access point, however nothing seemed to jump off the page at me that, Yeah, this is what's blocking them. However, it definitely seems that something is preventing traffic over port 25 because we can all browse the Internet just fine. I've verified the same timeout behavior with Outlook Express and Thunderbird. Using Thunderbird, I was able to check different settings too. The settings should be to use authentication on the smtp server using SSL. Someone, please educate me, does this mean that the authentication takes place over port 465 and the regular smtp still takes place over 25, or do both take place over 25? I ask because KMail (my setup at home that works) says to use SSL, not TLS which uses port 465. At the server, I use sockstat and see that on IPv4 sendmail has an open port on 465.

A couple of you replied that they've seen issues with this and resolved them by closing down Outlook, by the File -- Exit method rather than the X in the upper right. I'm really beginning to suspect this because the pastor I was working with told me that our senior pastor explained to him that he could send from a particular coffee shop in town when he couldn't from church. Though I can't personally see a down side to having an office in a Starbucks (I don't know the name of the actual shop they were in), I think that the Outlook client get's some bad stuff in the cache that is flushed out when they shutdown their computers to go make the journey. The pastor I was dealing with said he went there and all of this mail sent without a hitch. The other possibility is that the ISP is blocking some particular port. We did just change ISP's within the last 2 weeks and according to this pastor, these sending problems originated at that time. We'll see.

Having some problems with a FreeBSD mail server (SMTP)
Hi, I run a mail server for my church. Today I was called that folks are able to receive, but not send their mail. They are all currently configured for POP3 (I use dovecot).

As I look through /var/log/maillog I do not even see authid=their_user_ids in the mail log (I'm using TLS with sendmail). One of the pastor's told me the error he's seeing is timeout. They are using Outlook, I'm not sure of the version. What problems do people here usually encounter with Outlook mail clients and their SMTP servers? At this point, I'd just like to have some leads.

Hi, I've installed the joomla CMS program from the ports tree. Then, following the instructions from joomla's website, started the installation process. The first step in the process is to test for system requirements. It says I'm failing the Zlib compression support requirement. What is it looking for? I have php5-zlib installed from ports. What Zlib package does it want to have? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Any advice for learning debugging threading and stack corruption problems for c/c++?
On Wednesday 16 July 2008 13:41:46 Edward Sutton wrote: I have had a very hard time trying to debug which has hindered my work on some projects. In particular I have had trouble properly grasping how to work with debugging multi threaded applications, memory errors, and stack corruption. I know that it is not a five minute learning process to absorb such knowledge, but I have not yet found helpful references. I have had best luck trying to logically guess a location close to the problem, then setting a break and walking through the code. Once I hit a segfault, I run through the code with a breakpoint bringing me to just before the problem, but do not always understand how to go further. Strange things I see look like bad pointer addresses or the problems being caused within another thread. Since moving to FreeBSD7, I have been unable to use valgrind (which did not seem to help much on multi threaded apps) and I have not found a way to test binaries in the work directories and have had to install it to test it. At present, either gdb alone or kdbg seem to be the only ways I have been able to get even partially reliable responses from gdb because other interfaces disregard breakpoints and interrupts to execution. Are such difficulties common? On another similar topic, is there a good place to start learning about limitations to system internals, such as kern.ipc.shmmax and why I may 'not' want to set it to excessively high values or how other values relate to changing it? How can I tell what cap is occurring, whether it be a system limit or something controlled within the app such as with pthread_attr_setstacksize() and how are 'proper' values determined? The books advanced programming in the unix environment and programming with posix threads help me learn the unix world a bit better, but without debugging knowledge I find it hard to get anywhere with writing more than my high school level of programs and very difficult to get anywhere on the projects of others once threads and/or dynamic memory is involved. Any suggested course for further study from here? Thanks again, Edward Sutton, III Debugging threaded applications is an exercise in frustration and downright irritation. There aren't many easy methods. It seems that you're already familiar with gdb so brush up on how to attach to specific threads within the application and such. Usually, it seems that problems with multi-threaded programming come from two threads trying to access the same structure, or object, at the same time. Look through your code and make sure you're not doing something like this. For example, one thread is trying to read from the same file another is trying to read from thus getting file pointers confused. Please note that this scenario only causes problems if the file was opened in one thread and then the file handle was passed to two others (probably not the best way to do things but . . .).

Networking issues
Hello, I have, for some time, been able to ssh into my father's FreeBSD machine in the Road Runner network in Central New York. Last night, I tried so that I could fix a problem for him and ssh timed out. No problem I thought, his modem has a different IP than the one I have in my /etc/hosts file, but this turned to not be the case. Well, after some digging, I did a traceroute to his IP address. The packets went all over the place, from San Jose, to Colorado, back to San Jose, to Colorado then to Ohio, then to Denver, then to San Jose, then to Ohio, etc. (you get the idea). Eventually, traceroute was just lost and confused and I hit ctrl-c. Thinking the problem would work itself out, I decided to wait and try again tonight however, I'm having the same problem tonight. Obviously, though, I can use my Internet connection (after all, the e-mail . . .), but why can't I get to his IP address. For kicks and grins tonight, I logged onto my DSL modem and looked at it's routing table. I found some interesting information. First, my DSL modems IP is 71.221.172.38, however, the default route appears to be 67.41.38.201. Obviously, I've got to cross at least one network to get to this default route in the first place. I'm assuming this is the default route because it appears in the routing table as such: destnetmask gateway 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 67.41.38.201 Now, here's the output of traceroute (with name resolution turned off): [/usr/home/andy] - traceroute -n 67.41.38.201 traceroute to 67.41.38.201 (67.41.38.201), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 * * * 2 67.41.38.201 40.303 ms * 39.421 ms Why on earth would there be delays on the first hop when not using name resolution? Ok, now my machines setup: my DSL modem is the router (as you all knew). It also acts as a DHCP server but my FreeBSD machine is setup as static IP. The local, private, IP network is 192.168.0.0/24 with the DSL modem as 192.168.0.1 and my box is statically assigned 192.168.0.10. Any thoughts as what might be wrong on my end before I start bugging my ISP?

IPSec woes
I'm going off of the handbook section for setting up IPsec but I'm
having some problems because I'm having to modify the instructions
some. The handbook section covers a VPN secured by IPsec, but I'm
trying to setup a point-to-point between my host and another.
All seemed to be going well. I've compiled it into my kernel. I've
installed racoon from ports and the first time I tried to ping my peer
host, it paused for several seconds and then started up (as the
handbook mentions). However, when I do setkey -D I get, no SAD
entries. This makes me sad. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I have this in my /etc/ipsec.conf file (in the below 192.168.0.5 is my
IP, 192.168.0.6 is the remote host):
add 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.6 ipcomp 256 3des
I should make note that the other host is not a FreeBSD machine, it is
a printer. I'm doing this as an exercise to learn setting this up.
As for the racoon setup file, I copied the file from
/usr/local/share/examples/ipsec-tools/racoon.conf to
/usr/local/etc/racoon and modified only this entry:
sainfo address 192.168.0.6 any address 192.168.0.5 any
{
pfs_group 2;
lifetime time 30 sec;
encryption_algorithm 3des;
authentication_algorithm hmac_md5;
compression_algorithm deflate;
}
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Oh, what makes me think
that it's not working is wireshark and tcpdump both didn't seem to
dump anything that would lead me to believe anything is being
encrypted. What's odd, is that this printer I'm working against has
been set to disallow any traffic from my IP address without it's being
encrypted.
Thanks,
Andy

Having trouble getting cups working
HI, I've never actually tried to install cups before and last night decided to give it a try because I was not having much success getting my printer working using the handbook directions. (I got it all setup correctly, obviously something is incorrect but stay with me, and although I could get stuff to print when I did 'cat somefile /dev/lp0' I couldn't get anything to print when I submitted to lpd.) So, I installed cups from ports, and setup my HP LaserJet 4+. All seemed to go well. At first I had a problem with an error, something like unknown application/postscript. Anyway, some digging on the internet revealed that I needed ESP Ghostscript installed. So, I got that and that error went away. Now, however, I still cannot get it to print. When I try to submit the printer test page from the web management interface, it says, network host 'sniper' busy: will retry in X seconds. The URI I'm using for my printer is, lpd://sniper/lj4. The printer is connected to my parallel port and I think this is what I want because the other options are whatever it is that cups calls JetDirect and then IPP and something else. Anyway, if someone could please point me in the correct direction I'd appreciate it greatly.

clean for kernel build
How does one clean the build environment for the kernel? I'm building a custom kernel for IPSec and when it got to the linking phase of the build, the build process bailed with many linking errors: xform_ah.o(.text+0x15): In function `ah_algorithm_lookup': : undefined reference to `auth_hash_hmac_sha2_512' xform_ah.o(.text+0x25): In function `ah_algorithm_lookup': : undefined reference to `auth_hash_key_md5' xform_ah.o(.text+0x35): In function `ah_algorithm_lookup': : undefined reference to `auth_hash_hmac_ripemd_160' xform_ah.o(.text+0x3f): In function `ah_algorithm_lookup': : undefined reference to `auth_hash_hmac_sha1' xform_ah.o(.text+0x4f): In function `ah_algorithm_lookup': : undefined reference to `auth_hash_hmac_md5' Many more lines that look very similar to this. I'm thinking that it might be something left over from the last time I rebuilt the kernel (which on this system is when it went from 6.2-RELEASE to 7.0-RELEASE). So, what make target will clean what I need it to clean, and are there any other directions similar to what can be found in the handbook for when rebuilding world?

So, therefore, sendto() succeeded, just not in the way you expected. Looking at in_pcbconnect_setup() in the kernel shows that actually the packet is sent to the local primary interface address. Let's look at what really happen to that packet - 192.168.0.1 after being mangled by inet_pton() gives the field sin_addr.s_addr of 0x0100A8C0. This should make your sockaddr_in structure look like - sa.sin_len = 0x01 sa.sin_family = 0x00 sa.sin_port = 0xA8C0 (which is port 49320) sa.sin_addr.s_addr = 0x So the sendto() call was sending a packet to your local interface for port 49320. And since UDP is a connectionless protocol, you don't have a way (unless it is builtin to your application protocol) to determine an error. For example, TFTP sends back notification for every dgram received. I hope this helps with your understanding. I highly recommend if you are going to do more network programming that you obtain at least some books on the subject. Patrick Thanks much for this explanation. Books would be good, yes. I guys got to learn somehow. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. That's interesting that a broadcast may be sent to 0.0.0.0. I knew that 0.0.0.0 is equal to INADDR_ANY. However, I thought it wasn't possible to send to that address, only to bind to it locally for a server application. Andy -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[slightly off topic] Users of tikiwiki (on this list), question about the editors
Hi, I'm looking at possibly using tikiwiki. First off, does anyone here use it? Second, if so, is there a WYSIWYG editor for editing pages in it? I'm very curious to know about that. I've used wiki's before and for my church, I don't think many who would keep content on the site would like to use syntax like: +++ item 1 +++ item 2 etc. (The above is from memory, it's been quite a while and I didn't use it much.) Are there management interfaces that present users with rich text editors and they simply type what they want and the editor translates it to wiki?

Network programming question
Hi, I'd like to know why the inet_pton(3) doesn't fill in the address family of the proper structure passed into it. I'm at a complete loss for why. Here's the prototype: int inet_pton(int af, const char * restrict src, void * restrict dst); Three arguments only. The address family, hm, I'm passing it in; the address string in printable ASCII text, and a void pointer to the address structure to put the address into, presumably one of the sockaddr_* family structures for AF_INET or AF_INET6 (further, the man page says that this function is only valid for these two families now anyway). From some coding for a program, I did find that this function, inet_pton(3), *does* in fact mangle the sin_family member of the sockaddr_in structure, so why not mangle it to what it should be? I was doing something like this: // valid code above sockaddr_in sa; sa.sin_family = AF_INET; sa.sin_port = htons(3252); inet_pton(AF_INET, 192.168.0.1, sa); sendto(sa, msg, strlen(msg), 0, (struct sockaddr*)sa, sizeof(sa)); The call to sendto is wrapped in an if an was failing for errno code 47, Address family not supported by protocol (I was using UDP). I changed the assignment of AF_INET to the sa.sin_family member to *after* the call to inet_pton(3) and suddenly everything worked. Why? Since the address family was used by inet_pton(3) to figure out how to read the address and assign it to sa.sin_addr.s_addr, why not simply assign AF_INET to the address family member in inet_pton(3)? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just curious. It seems like redundancy. I've used the address family to tell inet_pton(3) how to operate, and then this function can't assign it to the sockaddr_in structure passed to it? This makes little sense. In case it's because I'm using older FBSD libraries that had a flaw fixed, I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4. Is this because that's how POSIX defined it to work? Is this the right venue or should I try one of the other mailing lists? Thanks, Andy -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is it such a bad thing?

Hi,
See man inet_pton . . . for details.
Briefly, inet_pton() doesn't understand sockaddr structures. Instead,
it only understands in_addr or in6_addr structures which are included
inside the sockaddr structure. So your above example should be changed
to
Ok, I should have thought of that when reading the manual.
if ((res = inet_pton(AF_INET, 192.168.0.1, sa.sin_addr)) 0)
perror(inet_pton);
Because it is treating the sockaddr_in structure as an in_addr structure
which is clobbering the sin_family field.
If this is true, then why are my packets sent at all? The definition
of sockaddr_in (from /usr/include/netinet/in.h):
struct sockaddr_in {
uint8_t sin_len;
sa_family_t sin_family;
in_port_t sin_port;
struct in_addr sin_addr;
charsin_zero[8];
};
The definition of in_addr (from /usr/include/netinet/in.h):
struct in_addr {
in_addr_t s_addr;
};
The definition of in_addr_t (from /usr/include/netinet/in.h):
typedef uint32_tin_addr_t;
Passing in what I have, the address should indeed (as you've pointed
out) clobber the sin_family member. However, since in_addr is
basically an unsigned integer, i.e. 4 bytes wide, shouldn't
inet_pton(3) clobber sin_len, sin_family sin_port before ever
reaching sin_addr? The sin_len sin_family are 8 bit quantities, the
sin_port is 16 bits, that's 32. If inet_pton(3) is expecting only an
in_addr I would think that a call to sendto(2) would fail because the
address in sin_addr is not filled, correct?

KDE won't allow me to logout and restart kdm after upgrade to xorg 7.3
Hi, About two months ago (yes, I'm only now getting around to fixing this), I decided it was time to upgrade my Xorg install from 6.9 to the current. I followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING from 20070519. After the upgrade, everything was going ok, until I logged out of KDE. I ended the session and was redirected to ttyv0. The following was on the system console: Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin: :0[948]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: Display :0 cannot be opened Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling. I then went to another console and, as root, did: sniper# sockstat | grep x root kdm-bin788 9 stream /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl/socket Which cleared out whatever was wrong and restarted kdm-bin and allowed me to start another session. What exactly is going on here? The reason it isn't too big a deal, and took me until now to mention it is because I'm about the only person who uses FreeBSD here at home and so when I logout, it's usually to shut off the computer.

How do I get sendmail working again
HI, I've gotten myself into a real fix at this point. (This is a continuation of the thread I started, sendmail is broken, how do I fix?) I was trying to setup authentication based relaying using istructions at http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html.

Anyone using dovecot deliver for virtual users
Hi, Is anyone on this list, who's using dovecot, using dovecot deliver to deliver mail to virtual users? If so, what's the key to setting up the deliver process in sendmail? Andy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My sendmail appears to be fixed, advice needed though
Hi everybody, Sorry for this flurry of e-mail from me over the last few days. This has been highly frustrating. At any rate, I think I've worked it out. Although, I'd like to have some folks look over this hostname.mc file and tell me if the fix is legitimate. Basically, the instructions for setting up SSL and Authentication (from http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html) instruct to have the following lines in the hostname.mc file: define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl define(`CERT_DIR', `/etc/mail/certs')dnl define(`confCACERT_PATH', `CERT_DIR')dnl define(`confCACERT', `CERT_DIR/mycert.pem')dnl define(`confSERVER_CERT', `CERT_DIR/mycert.pem')dnl define(`confSERVER_KEY', `CERT_DIR/mykey.pem')dnl define(`confCLIENT_CERT', `CERT_DIR/mycert.pem')dnl define(`confCLIENT_KEY', `CERT_DIR/mykey.pem')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl I deleated this line: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl And all is working ok now (at least it seems so). I also went over Josh's instructions with a finer tooth comb than before (I skipped a couple of steps because they looked identical to what was in the FreeBSD handbook for this, but found there were some very subtle differences). After recompiling and installing a new sendmail binary per Josh's instructions at the above line, I actually still have the can't bind to port problems, but things are now working as I said, without that line in the *.mc file. Is this a viable fix or will I be missing something? I was able to telnet to port 25 and send mail that way. I cannot relay without logging in, so I think it's fixed.

Re: My sendmail appears to be fixed, advice needed though
Well, oddly enough I moved those additional lines to a position before the
MAILER macros (I'll post the whitbap.mc file below as it exists now).
However, I still got those error messages:
Jan 5 18:29:10 whitbap sm-mta[6207]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket:
daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Jan 5 18:29:10 whitbap sm-mta[6207]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket
Jan 5 18:29:15 whitbap sm-mta[6207]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket:
daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Anyway, I'm going to remove that line I mentioned before as this seems to make
things work. Please help me to resolve this and thanks very much for the
help, this is great.
Andy

I think it's because you have the options listed above *after* the MAILER() calls. This means that the options are not `set' at the time the MAILER() calls generate your configuration. So you probably end up with several instances of the `MTA' and `TLSMTA' daemon definitions in the final `sendmail.cf' file. This could very well be the explanation of why your Sendmail *is* listening on port :25 and it *also* tries to listen again, logging the failures in syslog. Is this a viable fix or will I be missing something? I was able to telnet to port 25 and send mail that way. I cannot relay without logging in, so I think it's fixed. See my previous post about moving MAILER() calls to the end of the file, and give it another spin. You are *very* close to figuring it all out and having a fully working setup, AFAICT :) Regards, Giorgos Glad to see that I'm on the right track. I think, after seeing the full contents of my whitbap.mc file, you'll see that the problem is that put these lines *after* the MAILER lines.

VoIP and SSH
Hi, I don't understand this one and I'm hoping someone here might know. My father's router wasn't forwarding connection requests for any port that we'd configured for sshd to listen on. After changing out his linksys router and his Cable MODEM (the company said it was a very old modem), the problem was still present. Oddly enough, if he unplugs his VoIP box from his network, all this problem goes away and connection requests over ssh and port 22 are forwarded fine. With the VoIP box present, it doesn't work. Neither the FreeBSD machine or the VoIP box share IPs, but it doesn't work with the VoIP in the network. Any ideas?

It should have an admin interface usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 The cable company technical support should be able to walk you through getting access (or check any documentation that came with the MTA) They may or may not have port options (open or forward) that may allow ssh to work for you.

I'll see what I can find. Something one of you mentioned has me curious. That being whether or not there is a DHCP server running. My father's linksys router doles out IPs from 192.168.1.100 - something (I forget now). Once, while trying to get this working, he logged into his system (from his system) using ssh. What was odd was that he was able to log into his system by using the IP address of 192.168.100.101, but using ifconfig he'd always tell me that the IP was 192.168.1.100. I'm betting that his VoIP box must be doling out IPs as well as his Linksys router, or something like that. Jon, what do you mean when you say, The 'VoIP box' is usually an MTA? I'm used to MTA meaning Message Transfer Agent. Is it the same in this case too?

I suspect you have another process tying up that port. -Derek The problem seems to be sendmail itself. Here's what I've done to isolate the problem. 1) changed /etc/rc.conf to NOT start sendmail or anything mail related -- sendmail (external stuff, the local daemon still starts in /etc/defaults/rc.conf) -- dovecot -- saslauthd I know that saslauthd isn't exactly mail related but I installed it for sendmail 2) rebooted the computer (and verified that it did actually reboot by using uptime). I'm not sitting in front of this computer, I'm ssh-ing into it. 3) once restarted, I wrote a little C program to open a socket and then bind the ip address 192.168.2.23 (the machines IP) and port 25 to that socket. The effectiveness of this program was verified using sockstat. If necessary, I will post the source code, but didn't see much need to now. The program worked and the bind(2) call made no complaints. 4) Stopped ALL sendmail processes (/etc/rc.d/sendmail stop) 5) edited /etc/rc.conf and re-enabled the external sendmail process 6) Started sendmail and now see the exact same problems in /var/log/maillog: see below Jan 4 17:36:42 whitbap sm-mta[975]: starting daemon (8.13.8): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Jan 4 17:36:42 whitbap sm-mta[975]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use Jan 4 17:36:42 whitbap sm-mta[975]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket Jan 4 17:36:42 whitbap sm-msp-queue[979]: starting daemon (8.13.8): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Jan 4 17:36:42 whitbap sm-mta[978]: m010sNBM004564: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=3+23:42:19, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=2555114, relay=mail02.interchangeusa.com.

I've been following instructions (really!) and after following the instructions from here: http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html to setup SSL/TLS authentication for mail relaying, my sendmail installation always gives me this very frustrating messages in /var/log/maillog: Jan 1 11:24:27 whitbap sm-mta[3706]: starting daemon (8.13.8): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Jan 1 11:24:27 whitbap sm-mta[3706]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use Jan 1 11:24:27 whitbap sm-mta[3706]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket Jan 1 11:24:27 whitbap sm-msp-queue[3710]: starting daemon (8.13.8): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Jan 1 11:24:27 whitbap sm-mta[3707]: m010sNBM004564: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=17:30:04, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=1835114, relay=mail02.interchangeusa.com.

When I completely kill all sendmail processes (as verified by sockstat and ps -aux) there is *nothing* using port 25. I do not understand what is going on. While following the instructions for smtp authentication in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html I perhaps made one of my blunders. These instructions say to alter the file freebsd.mc rather than hostname.mc. It does say that some admin's like to use hostname.mc, but because I didn't know much about how FreeBSD does the install, I saw freebsd.mc and added the three lines listed in bullet item 6 on that web page. Later, I saw that I did have the file hostname.mc and while researching a resolution to this problem learned that FreeBSD makes the hostname.mc file when doing a make all if memory serves. Anyway, I then removed those three lines from freebsd.mc and pasted them into hostname.mc. Regardless, when I had those three lines in freebsd.mc everything worked. I made the changes for SSL/TLS as Josh Tolbert lays out in his web site (see above link) and when I restarted sendmail, that's when my troubles began. I don't understand what it is that I did and how it made it so that sendmail now thinks something else is using the socket/address. I'm desperate for a solution. Thanks for any help.

Now sendmail won't even start
HI, Ok, a couple of days ago, Josh Tolbert told me to check out his site for how to setup sendmail+SMTP AUTH+SSL/TLS. So, I went to your (Josh's) site and followed the directions. Now however, sendmail doesn't even want to start. Actually, more correctly, it doesn't want to stay running. If I do: /etc/rc.d/sendmail start sendmail starts and is actually listening on port 25 for all of 30 seconds, then that section of sendmail dies. Then, all I have is this left over from the start of sendmail (gleened by doing sockstat | grep sendmail): smmspsendmail 5085 3 dgram - /var/run/log root sendmail 5082 4 dgram - /var/run/logpriv root sendmail 5082 6 tcp4 192.168.2.23:63862204.17.36.86:25 Doing tail /var/log/maillog yeilds this: Dec 31 18:40:16 whitbap sm-msp-queue[5059]: starting daemon (8.13.8): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Dec 31 18:40:24 whitbap sm-mta[5018]: lBU9XI9f063744: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=1+16:07:06, xdelay=00:01:15, mailer=esmtp, pri=7595712, relay=gpcvb.org.

The stuff above it is what I added following some other instructions a couple of days ago. I made these changes from the instructions in the handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html. I uncommented them because before I made the changes to use SSL, it (sendmail) worked. Now it's not so I was trying to back the changes out just to see if sendmail would work again, but it's not.

Now sendmail won't even start (update)
With every sendmail process turned off (verified using ps -aux | grep sendmail, and netstat -naf inet and lastly sockstat | grep sendmail; ok, ok, overkill); I've determined that nothing on the system is listening on port 25 except sendmail.

Having problems with SMTP authentication
HI, I've followed the instructions @ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html, but am still having problems with the authentication process. If I set my client to use either CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5, I get an error return of authentication failure, most likely the password is wrong. Now, to make sure that I'm understanding this correctly, this program (saslauthd) takes the username and passwords given it and attempts to verify them against what the system knows to be it's users, correct? Working under this assumption, it would seem that the user vmail (a user I created on the system) would be the user that I would want to use in the e-mail client. Well, I've done this and verified that the password is, in fact, correct; I'm unable to authenticate to the SMTP server. Another point of interest, I added these lines (from the handbook) to my freebsd.mc file (as per instructions): dnl set SASL options TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl But when I ask my e-mail client to check what the server supports, the returned list is only, GSSAPI, DIGEST-MD5 and CRAM-MD5. Why is LOGIN not listed when it's included in this macro file? Is there anything missing from this section of the handbook that I've missed?

All you need to do to enable the stock sendmail to support STARTTLS is tell it to use one or more SSL certs. Adding something like this to /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc is how to do that: this seems to imply you want me to create a file named hostname.mc. The instructions I followed in the handbook also mentioned that, Many administrators choose to use the output from hostname(1) as the .mc file for uniqueness. Do I have to make this new file, paste into it all the stuff in freebsd.mc and then add these lines too? dnl dnl TLS stuff dnl define(`CERT_DIR', `MAIL_SETTINGS_DIR`'certs')dnl define(`confCACERT_PATH', `CERT_DIR')dnl define(`confCACERT', `CERT_DIR/cacert.pem')dnl define(`confSERVER_CERT', `CERT_DIR/cert.pem')dnl define(`confSERVER_KEY', `CERT_DIR/key.pem')dnl define(`confCLIENT_CERT', `CERT_DIR/cert.pem')dnl define(`confCLIENT_KEY', `CERT_DIR/key.pem')dnl Which means you'ld put the PEM encoded cacert, key and cert into /etc/mail/cacert.pem, /etc/mail/key.pem and /etc/mail/key.cert respectively. To generate all of those, there are some pithy instructions here: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/other/cagreg.html Thanks for all this. Andy When submitting a new message, most mail clients will automatically do STARTTLS if it's available.

Still having problems burning DVDs
Ok, Thanks to the help of earlier posts (a couple of weeks ago), using kldload atapicam now allows for the scsi ioctls on my IDE CD/DVD burner. However, when I do the following: growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -dvd-video /usr/local/dvds/whereisGod1.iso I get this output: Executing 'mkisofs -dvd-video /usr/local/dvds/whereisGod1.iso | builtin_dd of=/dev/pass0 obs=32k seek=0' mkisofs: Value too large to be stored in data type. File /usr/local/dvds/whereisGod1.iso is too large - ignoring mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image. :-( write failed: Input/output error Now, what is causing this? The command I'm using is right off of the handbook for creating DVD video: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-dvds.html And the size of this file is: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4317872128 Nov 21 16:30 whereisGod1.iso That's slightly smaller than the 4.7 gb that the DVD+R says it will hold. Please keep in mind that this iso file I've made is from doing: cp /dev/acd0 /usr/local/dvds/whereisGod1.iso Andy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to make sendmail listen on an address other than the loopback
Hi, I'm trying to get an e-mail system working for my church (whitneybaptist.org). I've added a file called local-host-names in /etc/mail as described in the Handbook, then did /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart and then did sockstat | grep sendmail and got the following results: root sendmail 32889 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:* root sendmail 32889 4 dgram - /var/run/logpriv smmspsendmail 696 3 dgram - /var/run/log Now, with the exception of the additional file, nothing has been done to this stock sendmail configuration (system is 6.2-RELEASE-p7). How would I make sendmail listen on the ip of 192.168.2.23? I do have some experience with sendmail, however, it was several years ago and I've forgotten quite a bit. Why isn't it listening on that address now?
