Hello FreeBSD lovers, In the current FreeBSD ports, squid-2.5STABLE10 has a patch that allows it to run without dying even though it does not have access to /dev/ipnat.
This access is important where squid is running in a transparent proxy setup. I am running several FreeBSD 5.x boxes with squid in transparent proxy mode, so this problem is a big one for me. The patch seems to be a workaround, but I'd really like to give squid access to this device anyway. My thinking was that I can solve the problem of access to /dev/ipnat using /etc/devfs.conf. However, my reading of the comments in this file does not give me any clear method of achieving what I want. Am I right in my thinking that /dev/ipnat device is created on the fly in FreeBSD 5.x? As such I cannot change the permissions on it, yes? How do I solve my problem, if anyone can advise me? It will server as my first lesson with devices in 5.x. Thanks in advance. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary. -- Thomas Paine _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
