logging proftpd question
Presently all my proftpd logging goes to /var/log/messages but it is clogging that file because I have an ftp login every couple of minutes. I want to redirect proftpd logging. I tried putting proftpd:* /var/log/proftpd.log in my /etc/syslog.conf but syslogd complains; syslogd: unknown facility name "proftpd" looking at the man page for proftpd is says; Each successful and failed ftp(1) session is logged using syslog with a facility of LOG_FTP. Note: LOG_FTP messages are not displayed by sys- logd(8) by default, and may have to be enabled in syslogd(8)'s configu- ration file. So I tried; LOG_FTP:* /var/log/proftpd.log still no go.

Thanks, fellow Torontonian, for your reply. I tried your suggestion previous to my posting, with no result. Now, could something in the; I tried your suggestion previous to my posting, with no result. I also did a "touch /var/log/proftpd.log" and "chmod 600 /var/log/proftpd.log" The line; *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages is what is grabbing the messages I want to redirect. (I beleive *.notice) I just wonder if the line I just mention takes the log entry, if another can still take it. Can a log entry only be logged once? Or can you have it go to multiply files? (via multiple syslog.conf entries) It sure would be easier if in the log entry it said "ftp.notice" or some such thing so you -know- how it is being directed.

I have tried killing the ppp nat that I run by killing; /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat default and running; /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial default but surprisingly, the network machines can still access the internet. To me that is strange, especially when you consider that I don't have natd running either. There must be something doing the network translation unseen to me.

getting DNS from DHCP IP address

Here may be the answer. I think of DHCP of being a server thing only,
to win boxes. I hadn't considered using dhclient on the freebsd host.
I will look into this. It sounds like the answer.

checks to see;

echo -n " Instance ${instance} -> "

/usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.pyc
/usr/local/www/Zope/skel/bin/zopectl.in
I don't see any install notes in the ports directory either.
I have scanned google and looked on the Zope site.

seems that the problem is with open-motif.
It seems that the error message states what the problem is.
I would go to /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/open-motif and change
the ">=" to "!=" in the Makefile, like it says.

Serving via a non-ppp network connection.
I have just changed the configuration of my connection to my ISP. Now my -modem- has my password and login info and does the pppoe login into the ISP. I guess you could say the modem is doing the gateway function. But now I am lost as to how to connect my unix box and host my web sites. I have only ever connected to the internet through ppp. What I want to do is connect via a normal network connection, like any other box I have on my network. The modem/gateway runs nat, which I can disable becuase I would like unix to handle nat. Forgive my terminology here. I sure there is a easier way to say this. Any one know how I go about connecting via a non-ppp way? I want to connect, I guess, just like any dumb windows box would on the network, by plugging into the hub.

How else would one become a seasoned hacker? :) It looks like a neat program. The program itself looks like it is written in perl, which would run on any machine. The supporting programs, like nvramwakeup and a few others would have to be installed to freebsd. My guess is, that would be a bigger job. The down side, in my opinion to this program is speed. I would grow impatient waiting for the browser to repaint the screen for a task that I want to execute in a seconds. Regarding using mp3blaster, my 8 year-old son uses it. He doesn't even know what unix is. On my windows boxes, there is always a unix window up and running. In fact, I have the unix window execute from the startup in windows so everytime windows boots, the xterm window logs in as me and is waiting for a command. I renamed mp3blaster to simply "music". My son simply types "music" at the prompt. The menu comes up in a fraction of a second, and he can have songs playing in another 2 seconds. One of the great things I like about unix, is how many programs are not pigs, using all the resouces of the computer for elaborate and often unnecessary graphics.

Any tips would > greatly be appreciated! I have been trying to sync my palm over USB for some time now. It doesn't look good. Both coldsync and pilot-link acknowledge there are FreeBSD-USB-Palm combination problems. The only thing I've seen that looks promising is a ppp solution which follows. My ucom port errs as soon as I push my sony clie button so I can't even try the ppp option. I have been monitoring the coldsync and pilot-link lists, and checking FreeBSD's list occasionally. If you find anything out that is helpful please let me know. Here is the ppp solution posted to both the coldsync and pilot-link lists; Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 13:02:52 -0500 (EST) From: "David A. Desrosiers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: FreeBSD/USB PPP solution (need testers) To: pilot-link General List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ColdSync Hackers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 For those wishing to sync their USB Palm devices under BSD, I think we have a tempoarary workaround that will satisfy your needs for now.. After a great deal of testing, I believe we've worked out a solution that will enable users to sync their Palm USB handheld devices with FreeBSD using pilot-link until the pilot-link team and the BSD team figure out what exactly the issue is that causes this process to fail "natively". Feel free to email me back privately if you have anything you'd wish to add or comment on that may not be useful on the lists. This may also work for ColdSync users who wish to use the same sort of process. I'm not familiar with the innards of how ColdSync handles the equivalent of pi-csd for network connections, so I hope someone can fill me in on that and get back to me with some details. At this point, we need some testers to verify that this works. So far we've tested it on both OHCI and UHCI platforms (Intel/Via and SiS chipsets on both desktop and laptop machines) with systems using ugen, ucom, and a combination of both of them. Here's what you'll need to do: In your BSD kernel config, you'll need at least the following: ## pseudo-device ppp 1 # Kernel PPP pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel. device uhci# UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci# OHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device uvisor # For Palm->USB interface device ucom# Generic serial layer ## Rebuild your kernel with that, using 'make buildkernel' and then 'make installkernel' and make sure you 'make world' to ensure that your usbd and other userland tools are current with the changes in your kernel. Now, in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, add the following: ## palm: set device /dev/ucom0 set cd off set dial set speed 230400 set timeout 300 set redial 5 0 set reconnect 3 5 set ctsrts on set ifaddr 10.0.1.30 10.0.1.40 enable dns add default HISADDR open bg "/usr/local/bin/pi-sync.sh" ## Note that in ppp.conf, 10.0.1.30 is my actual BSD machine's IP address, and 10.0.1.40 is the IP I wish to assign to my Palm when it connects to the BSD machine using ppp. The last line of the 'palm' section in ppp.conf references one script, pi-sync.sh. This script consists of the following two lines: ## #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/pi-csd -H ler -a 10.0.1.30 -n 255.255.255.0 ## This roughly translates to pi-csd -H -a -n 255.255.255.0 In my case 'ler' is the hostname of the BSD machine and 10.0.1.30 is the IP of the interface on this machine. This is NOT the hostname of the Palm or the IP of the Palm device. NOTE: The hostname you present here with pi-csd with -H must match *EXACTLY* what the hostname you use in the "Primary PC Setup" section on the Palm below. If you use 'ler' with pi-csd, you must use 'ler' on the Palm, not 'ler.domain.com'. On the Palm itself, you'll have to make some changes as well. Follow these steps exactly: - Tap the HotSync icon in the application launcher. - Select [Modem] from the two options above the center icon - Tap 'Select Service' below the icon, and pick an unused one or create a new one. - Servi

Dan, your advice seems to contradict the ordb.org website which reads; How do I test if my mailserver is actually using ORDB.org?

You build an inverted IP address by taking your real IP address (e.g. 62.243.214.83) and inverting the octets. (e.g. 83.214.243.62). Once you have accomplished this, sending email to your protected mail server from your local system should result in a rejection notice, or whatever you have configured your system for. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

tmda problems - anyone using it?
I installed tmda from the ports. It is not working, and as I am looking into why, I found a number of peculiar things. It doesn't work with sendmail so well becuase certain variables have to be passed on to tmda. They suggest procmail can be used to do this and they provide a script for that purpose. Part of that script is ; SENDER=`formail -x Return-Path | sed 's/[<>]//g;s/^[ ]*//'` which in my case does _not_ get the sender address. I had to modify that script somewhat to work. Once that is fixed, the program still does not seem to run. It will not send mail back for confirmations, at least. There are no errors in the logs, and tdma does acknowlege receiving the mail and keeping it, presumably waiting for confirmation before putting it in my box. I have detailed my logs and problems to the tmda list and have received no reply. I don't know how busy that list is, but at this point I am just wondering how many fbsd'ers are using tmda. If anyone has an alternative suggestion it would be great. I notice we have qconfirm in the ports but on looking at the installation instructions it appears that it only works with qmail. -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Since it is mail.local or in my case procmail that reads it, it -should- put it in before depositing it in /var/mail for pickup, shouldn't it? I have tried compiling with the procmail option out, like yours and it makes no difference. My sendmail.cf shows; Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/Hdr FromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D =$z:/, T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix, A=sh -c $u ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: getting sendmail to add Return-Path: header
Now it seems to be working. I inserted it in the "F" section of the settings below the one we discussed and it seems to work. > > Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/Hdr > > FromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, > > T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, > > A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u > > Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/H...
