I use qpopper for my pop3 services. pop-before-smtp is a solution to use smtp from mobile locations without using an smtp-auth technique. Basically, you authenticate through pop, if the authentication is successfull, then your IP is marked as "ok for relaying" during a periiod of time. Very usefull when your users connect from different places as they have dynamic IPs.

That one I've forgotten. It was quite a long itme I tried to do this. Anyway, as the BIOS is only used when booting they probably should be set to report the disk as smaller than it actually is. After booting the BIOS isn't involved so that restriction should not apply. But I'm not sure. You could maybe make some trial-and-error investigation on what works and what does not? As Mike (I think it was him) wrote, you could also buy an ATA board with BIOS. That I've done that several times and it works great! Good luck!

Sendmail hanging on startup usually indicates a DNS problem --- sendmail puts a lot of effort into looking up the local host and the addresses of it's interfaces in the DNS in order to work out what it's FQDN should be and so forth. If there's a problem doing that, it will hang for what seems like a very long time indeed waiting for answers from the DNS. Actually it's only about 30s per query per nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf. Check /var/log/maillog --- there will be sufficient error messages logged in there to enable you to diagnose what exactly is broken and presumably how to fix it. Or let us see relevant portions of the log files if you need more help.

Big directory size
Hello, I had a directory with a lot of files (about 100 000), and naturally, the size of the directory entry itself was big enough (about 1M). Now I've split all these files to different subdirectories, to increase the system performance. The major directory entry size didn't change, however such a big value is not needed now. Now here is a question - can an unnessesary big value of a directory entry size harm the system performance? I guess it does not, is it correct?

Multiple network cards with IP addresses in the same network
I have a FreeBSD 4.7 system, with 3 ethernet cards. The first two are recognised as fxp0 and fxp1 and the second as em0 (intel gigabit card). I configured the em0 with address 192.168.0.1/24. I then wanted to configure fxp0 with the address 192.168.0.2/24, and also connect it to the switch so that I can connect to the server via both addresses. However, FreeBSD's ifconfig command fails, and won't let me add the second address to the fxp0 interface. I read the manual page about ifconfig, and read about aliases, where it said that for aliases, I must use the netmask /32. When I do try to add the second address with a netmask of /32, it works, but it doesn't make sense to me. How is that interface going to to know that it is part of a /24 network if I use a /32 netmask? Would anyone be kind enough to explain why: 1. For aliases, I need the /32 mask 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Don;t suppose there is a tool to harden FreeBSD as well is there? > I couldn't see anything in ports There are any number of tools to help you eliminate vulnerabilities and generally harden up your system. With FreeBSD you're starting from a pretty good base already, and just applying common sense will go a long way towards keeping you clear. However, these are untrusting times and there are a number of extra measures that you can certainly take. i) Read the security(7) man page. ii) Eliminate any services, network daemons etc. that you may have enabled, but that you aren't using. Make sure that you can account for all of the entries in the output of 'netstat -a'. Install 'nmap' from ports and scan your host at regular intervals. Even better, if you can swing it, is to get a friend to scan your host from a remote location. For those network services you need to supply, configure them on the basis of 'least privilege' --- ie. deny all access by default and only open up sufficient for authorised uses. Run servers as unprivileged users and use chroot(8) and jail(8) to limit your exposure even if a server is compromised. Choose software packages with a good reputation for security. Learn about ipfw(8) or ipf(8) and hosts_options(5) as well as any server specific configuration options. It's a good idea to defend in depth -- configure your servers strictly even if you also have a firewall ruleset that does an equivalent job. After all, mistakes happen and this way, you should be several steps away from disaster. iii) If you're giving out or selling login accounts (including to things like web sites or ftp accounts) to other users, sit down and write an acceptable usage policy detailing what is, and is not permissible to do from your machine and the penalties incurred for infraction. Get all your users to agree and sign off on this policy. Then enforce it strictly. Make sure that login messages (like /etc/issue (see gettytab(5)), /etc/motd, etc/ftpwelcome) can't be construed as an invitation to hack into your machine. iv) Proper, on-going maintainance of the system is vital for ensuring security. It's just not possible to spend a few days securing a machine and then have it be 'secure' for ever after. Keep up to date with security advisories. Update machines regularly. Clean out old software installations or user accounts that are now surplus to requirements. v) Your best defense is useless if the black hats can sneak in under your guard and do nefarious things without your noticing. Develop a nasty, suspicious character. Make sure that any and all activities of a potentially sensitive nature result in log file entries or some other form of audit trail. Paranoia is good. Think about using intrusion detection systems such as snort. Monitor your filesystems for suspicious changes --- tools like tripwire are invaluable for detecting trojans and root kits. System logs make good bedtime reading. vi) Eschew plaintext. ssh(1) is your friend. Avoid plain telnet or rsh. Remember that remote X sessions are easy to snoop as well: employ ssh's ability to pass X protocol data through an encrypted tunnel. vii) Remember that there is no such thing as absolute security. A clever enough and sufficiently determined attacker will always be able to beat you. (What would you do if a couple of thugs broke into your house and began breaking your fingers until you told them the root password?) Be measured in the policies you adopt. Weigh up the value of what you are trying to protect and the cost --- not just financial, but in terms of aggravation to legitimate users --- of the security measures you impose. viii) And finally, take good backups and keep them in a secure, off-site location. Sleep well at night.

Because when a packet comes in for that network, there's no way to tell which card it should go to. I think you need to rethink your network design a bit. If you have different Ethernet links, you should either bridge or route between them. If you want to route between them, they almost always should have distinct subnet ranges.

iPaq news
The onboard modem, despite not looking like an lt winmodem when looking at the chip itself, does infact work with the ltmdn port. Just need to add it's pci vendor/id combo to the src before compiling. 0x11c1 0x0441 Still have one pci device coming up that I haven't id'd yet, nor have I gotten apm (using 4.7) to work. If anyone's got experience enabling apm with a VIA MVP4 based system let me know. Enabling it in the kernel (and removing the disable flag) does not result in any form of apm being detected, yet I know this machine is capible of it. (It uses strictly soft power control, it's a pain having to shut it off by yanking the power cord.) The iPaq has also survived approx 24 hours of constant compiling from ports and kernels swapping to a vn file backed swap drive powered by a umass device with out a hiccup. If someone can walk me through what needs to be done I'd like to help diag why you can't swap directly to the umass drive.

I then wanted to configure fxp0 with the address 192.168.0.2/24, and also connect it to the switch so that I can connect to the server via both addresses. However, FreeBSD's ifconfig command fails, and won't let me add the second address to the fxp0 interface. I read the manual page about ifconfig, and read about aliases, where it said that for aliases, I must use the netmask /32. When I do try to add the second address with a netmask of /32, it works, but it doesn't make sense to me. How is that interface going to to know that it is part of a /24 network if I use a /32 netmask? Would anyone be kind enough to explain why: 1. For aliases, I need the /32 mask I didn't know that you did. I've certainly had aliases that weren't /32 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because it breaks routing and the basic concept of IP addys and netmasks. If you have two NICs on the same network, how is the kernel supposed to route packets? If you want this setup as a failover solution, there are other ways. There's a program in the ports (I can't remember the name, you'll have to do some research) that will monitor an interface, and if it becomes non- responsive, run a script of your choosing. Thus, you can have it start up the other network card if the first fails. If failover isn't what you're looking for, then I'd reconsider your network topology.

For aliases, I need the /32 mask > > I didn't know that you did. I've certainly had aliases that weren't /32 I have been using linux for about 2 years now. Let me explain why I don't understand. I have addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. I want to run different services on the 2 different IP addresses. In a linux system, I do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 So that I have 2 different addresses bound to the same interface. On FreeBSD, if I do: ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias That fails. The ifconfig manpage states that a nonconflicting netmaks must be used for the alias, and suggests to use 0x. I don't understand why, because I don't see why one network interface cannot have more than one address bound to it within the same network. If I use a /32 netmask for the alias address, how will the kernel respond to arp requests for that alias address? > >2.

I still don't understand. In a linux system I can do: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth1 This adds 2 default routes in the linux kernel, telling it to route packets to the outside world using either network interface, where eth0 has address 192.168.0.1/24 and eth1 has address 192.168.0.2/24. What's wrong with that? > If you want this setup as a failover solution, there are other ways. > There's a program in the ports (I can't remember the name, you'll have to > do some research) that will monitor an interface, and if it becomes non- > responsive, run a script of your choosing.

Ok, I understand that, and it may be a very useful program, *if* you want to bring up the other interface with perhaps the same IP address. All I want to do is to have 2 different IP addresses on each of the different interfaces in the server, where the addresses are in the same network. I can do it in linux. Why can't I do it in FreeBSD? > If failover isn't what you're looking for, then I'd reconsider your > network topology.

Can't telnet or FTP

It installed fine and is working natd & ipfw are working beautifully. However, I am unable to telnet or ftp into the box using either adaptor's ip address - I get a "connection refused" message.

Other OS's have worked on the Since you have it running, use "boot0cfg" to make a boot floppy and try booting from that. Might as will run boot0cfg on the MBR and try that too. Guessing further, you might have a disk geometry setting that the FreeBSD OS itself is happy with for installation, etc, but which your BIOS doesn't like to support booting. The "boot0" boot loader uses the BIOS to load the OS. For one thing, your "a" (/) partition might have to be in the first 1024 cylinders. The boot0cfg man page says it can boot past that with BIOS support (if you use the "packet" option), but the installer probably doesn't use that for some reason (and I tried it on a fairly modern OS with LBA disk addressing and it couldn't boot past 1024 anyway).

MPD/VPN
I'm open to suggestions on this one. I have tried everything :( I'm hoping that someone else ran into this problem and knows how to fix it. MPD/FREEBSD as a VPN server. Multiple clients (windows and unix). Windows 98: Works great, connects, tiny performance drop in speed, hardly noticeable. Windows 2000: Works just as well as Windows 98 if not better. Windows XP: I can connect, ping through the VPN, even load tiny web pages and telnet out - but anything large stalls completely. I've tried multiple XP machines, they all do the same thing. It is my understanding that this is a MTU issue - but I find it very hard to believe that Microsoft products need configuration before they work, such as a MTU change. Heres mpd.conf for what it's worth (I've excluded the clients): client_standard: set iface disable on-demand set iface enable proxy-arp set iface idle 86400 set bundle disable multilink set link yes acfcomp protocomp set link disable pap set link enable chap set link keep-alive 10 60 set ipcp yes vjcomp set ipcp dns 66.170.64.1 66.170.64.13 set bundle enable compression set bundle enable crypt-reqd set ccp yes mppc set ccp yes mpp-e40 set ccp yes mpp-e128 set ccp yes mpp-stateless One other thing - I notice that the two clients that do work (any Windows 98 or 2000 box) has a MTU of 1496 on the server: ng0: flags=88d1 mtu 1496 The ones that don't vary but are NOT 1496. Any input would be helpful at this point. Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Solaris, *BSD, and others don't let you specify the network interface when you add a route. I know for a fact under Solaris that when you have 2 interfaces which live in the same subnet, the interface with the lowest numbered IP will be the interface used for outbound traffic. > All I want to do is to have 2 different IP addresses on each of the > different interfaces in the server, where the addresses are in the > same network.

Re: Multiple network cards with IP addresses in the same network
Anand Buddhdev wrote: On Mon, Jan 13, 2003 at 07:53:08AM -0500, Bill Moran wrote: I have a FreeBSD 4.7 system, with 3 ethernet cards. The first two are recognised as fxp0 and fxp1 and the second as em0 (intel gigabit card). I configured the em0 with address 192.168.0.1/24. I then wanted to configure fxp0 with the address 192.168.0.2/24, and also connect it to the switch so that I can connect to the server via both addresses. However, FreeBSD's ifconfig command fails, and won't let me add the second address to the fxp0 interface. I read the manual page about ifconfig, and read about aliases, where it said that for aliases, I must use the netmask /32. When I do try to add the second address with a netmask of /32, it works, but it doesn't make sense to me. How is that interface going to to know that it is part of a /24 network if I use a /32 netmask? Would anyone be kind enough to explain why: 1. For aliases, I need the /32 mask I didn't know that you did. I've certainly had aliases that weren't /32 I have been using linux for about 2 years now. Let me explain why I don't understand. Well, first off, I misunderstood your original question. I have addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. I want to run different services on the 2 different IP addresses. In a linux system, I do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 So that I have 2 different addresses bound to the same interface. On FreeBSD, if I do: ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias That fails. It should, it creates an ambiguous network situation. Also, I don't understand why you would want to do this. The ifconfig manpage states that a nonconflicting netmaks must be used for the alias, and suggests to use 0x. I don't understand why, because I don't see why one network interface cannot have more than one address bound to it within the same network. If I use a /32 netmask for the alias address, how will the kernel respond to arp requests for that alias address? What would you expect it to do that would be unusual? If you really want two IPs on the same subnet on the same NIC, then use a /32 subnet for one. What's it going to hurt? 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because it breaks routing and the basic concept of IP addys and netmasks. If you have two NICs on the same network, how is the kernel supposed to route packets? I still don't understand. In a linux system I can do: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth1 Just because you can do it on a Linux system doesn't mean it's right. This adds 2 default routes in the linux kernel, telling it to route packets to the outside world using either network interface, where eth0 has address 192.168.0.1/24 and eth1 has address 192.168.0.2/24. What's wrong with that? It's ambiguous. Where does the kernel route to when there are two possible routes? There's really no reason for such a thing. If you want this setup as a failover solution, there are other ways. There's a program in the ports (I can't remember the name, you'll have to do some research) that will monitor an interface, and if it becomes non- responsive, run a script of your choosing. Thus, you can have it start up the other network card if the first fails. Ok, I understand that, and it may be a very useful program, *if* you want to bring up the other interface with perhaps the same IP address. Well, it's useful for other reasons as well, but it doesn't apply to your situation. I suggested it because I didn't understand what you were asking before. All I want to do is to have 2 different IP addresses on each of the different interfaces in the server, where the addresses are in the same network. I can do it in linux. Why can't I do it in FreeBSD? Because you shouldn't do it. If failover isn't what you're looking for, then I'd reconsider your network topology. It doesn't really make sense to have 2 NICs with the same network number in one machine. Why not? I haven't seen any such warning in my IP networking books or courses. My answer to your question is: 1. Why would you WANT to do that? I don't care if Linux, Windows and everyone but FreeBSD _allows_ you to, the reason for it escapes me. 2. If you reall _do_ want to do that, use a /32 netmask as required. If that doesn't work for you for some reason, then the answer to your question is beyond my expertise. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

ipfilter/ipmon log msgs
I have read both the Freebsd.org online man page and the man page installed on my FBSD 4.7 system for man ipmon and the man page info does not match the syntax of the ipfilter.log messages. Man ipmon says than when option -s is selected to send ipfilter log messages to syslogd the day, month, year prefix is removed from the message before posting to syslogd. This does not happen. I also see that the message posted in the syslogd contains the pid (running task number of ipmon) in the posted message. This is not documented in man ipmon. FBSD 4.7 contains a updated release of ipfilter. Is it possible that the FBSD man page info was not updated to the new release?

Can't find ethernet (MAC) address
Hi, My NIC (Linksys LNE100 TX) has worked fine within a Cable modem LAN (with a Linksys router), but since I've moved in to my college dorm, I can't find the MAC address. With ifconfig, I get something like (I can't reproduce it; typing this from a public computer): % ifconfig . . . ether: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff . . . Apparently, the school requires students to register their ethernet (MAC) addresses before their DHCP server leases an IP address. Is there any way for me to get the ethernet address through FreeBSD? BTW: the machine is FreeBSD-4.7 RELEASE Also, could the MAC address by on the card somewhere (if anybody has a similar card)? All I see is some string of numbers like a scan code.

PST might simply tell the system the offset from UTC - which itself is calculated by the utility `adjkerntz` based on your local time - found in your CMOS clock (assuming your CMOS clock is set to local time and not UTC). Also, if you just setup your system, ntpd might not choose to rapidly swing the system clock by 2 hours, as this could be confusing to the system. See the folling bits from the ntpd manpage: "In case there is no TOY chip or for some reason its time is more than 1000s from the server time, ntpd assumes something must be terribly wrong and the only reliable action is for the operator to intervene and set the clock by hand. This causes ntpd to exit with a panic message to the system log. The -g option overrides this check and the clock will be set to the server time regardless of the chip time. ... Under ordinary conditions, ntpd adjusts the clock in small steps so that the timescale is effectively continuous and without discontinuities." Basically, I'm guessing that your CMOS clock is off??

is someone running bind in a jail?
Hey, I have considerably problem setting up bind 8.3.3 in a jail! I'm sure a lot of person have setup bind in a jail.

Re: Multiple network cards with IP addresses in the same network
I'm going to jump in here, because this question was my reason for having joined the Freebsd-questions list in the first place. Of all the time I've been running FreeBSD, this is my first post to this list... :P I have a similar situation. Firewall/NAT machine with 3 nics. Only rather than using the two external interfaces for different services, I would like to use two nic's on the external subnet (using the FreeBSD machine as a NAT/Firewall) for the following purpose: --I would like one interface to be used for external IPF/NAT connectivity for my network computers, allowing my network connectivity to my ISP. --I would like a second interface to acquire a SECOND ip address to be set up as bimap in NAT, to allow a second machine (my workstation) to be the only machine to utilize the second external IP. Similar to being in a DMZ, but it would still use an internal address, as well as be subject to the firewall rules in IPF. Again, I have read that this is available on Linux. My searches have shown that there are ways to do this on RedHat w/ ipchains (etc.).. ... but I digress... I have tried putting two nics in and having dhclient obtain addresses for both on the same subnet. dhclient will get both addresses (shown in dhclient.leases), but fails to assign an ip to the second interface, failing with the error "file already exists". I'm sure this is a different (but related) issue. In my situation, another solution might be to use an alias on a single external interface.. only I'm not sure how to get dhclient to obtain the second IP address and assign it to the alias, nor how to get IPF to recognize the alias'd interface properly. Bridging also comes to mind, but I'm not certain that if I bridge the interface to my workstation computer it would correctly handle having an internal as well as external address (other software application complications would arise as well, I'm sure). That's not my intent anyway, so I have not and likely will not persue bridging as an option. Maybe I should have posted this on a diff. thread? :P But I believe the resolution to this issue is the same as the originally posted issue. Hopefully something will come out of it.

RE: Apache_fp Port install problem
I installed apache-fp on newly install FBSD 4.7 system that was installed from cd without any compt selected from /stand/sysinstall process and apache-fp was the first port installed on this system and in went in with no problem. You must have an older version of compt3 on your FBSD system that is causing the problem. If you installed compatibility from the /stand/sysinstall process during the original install then I believe the ports/make environment does not know about it and the only solution is to reinstall FSBD from cd. The other problem area is that you may have a old version of compt3 on your ports installed environment and if so, you will have to find which of your installed ports has compt3 as a pre-rec, deinstall all the ports using it, delete compt3 from /usr/ports/distfiles, and then make the ports again. Or install portupgrade and let it do all the detail work for you. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of G D McKee Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 5:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jack L.

If that is from the ISO 4.7-RELEASE, then it predates the compatX3 change we are talking about here. I have 4.7-STABLE installed from Cvsups that further updated after the RELEASE all the way up to November 5. But, on November 11, the compatX3 ocurred and any install after November 11, FP is affected and does not cooperate. Does your /usr/src/UPDATING show the 20021110 change?? It's the last release note. If not, then your 4.7 is not compatX3 "challenged" as far as FP is concerned. When was your last CVSup...??? Best regards, Jack L.

splash_bmp_load problems.
Hi, This might seem a bit of a silly question to be asking. It's a bit pointless really but I can't figure out why it shouldn't work. I tried setting a 800x600 256 color bitmap as my splash bmp. The same bitmap works just fine on another machine (that isn't a laptop). Basically, while the modules are all loaded nicely I get a squashed and repeated image in the upper section of the screen. It's no more than 1/5th of the screen's height and it's repeated horizontally about four or five times. Any idea what might cause this? My /boot/loader.conf reads: bitmap_load="NO" bitmap_name="/boot/splash.pcx" splash_pcx_load="NO" I have the VESA compiled into my kernel for the 800x600 mode (I also had the same problem with a smaller bitmap. PCX files result in the same problem also). Many thanks, -lewiz. -- However, never daunted, I will cope with adversity in my traditional manner ... sulking and nausea. -- Tom K.

If you want to upgrade via buildworld, I'm afraid you're going to have to do that large a jump in several stages: 3.5 -> RELENG_3 (latest version of 3.x-STABLE, I think 3.5.1) RELENG_3 -> RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE (4.0-RELEASE. (This update is fairly tricky, and you'll need to pay special attention to the notes in UPDATING)) RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE -> RELENG_4 You might even need to put in yet another step between 4.0-RELEASE and 4.x-STABLE. On the other hand, it's probably going to be a lot easier and more productive to back up all your important data and configuration changes and then just install 4.7-RELEASE over your 3.5 machine, then use cvsup to get to 4.7-STABLE, and restore or recreate the important bits from your 3.5 system. Note that which ever way you do the update, you're going to run into various gotchas, like the change from DES to MD5 password hashes.

This does not happen. Firstly, ensure you're starting ipmon with the -Ds flags. This will put it in daemon mode and log through syslogd. I've had a problem with logfile formats in the past and this was because I was not running the correct version of ipmon. do sudo ipf -V Check the version. Then do which ipf Then check to see that the ipmon is running is in the same directory. Otherwise, post a sample log line...
