As university department, we receive a number of visitors, when they have been in the plane for 24 hours, they usually want to check their email: each time we have to inform them that they can only send through our mail gateway, and they have to temporarily change their setting for the duration fo their visit, and remember to change back when they left: that is annoying (and I am not always around to tell them why they cannot send their email). That is why I am thinking about transparent redirection. Best regards, We've setup transparent outgoing mail proxying using ASSP, PF and Postfix. Basically any traffic that has a destination port of 25 on the Internet is sent through our mail proxy, and onwards to the destination mail servers. Main reason for this is simplicity.

I personally have seen that many large (german) (free-)email providers are trying to force SMTP through TLS for sending out email through their servers at the moment, simply because they don't want passwords for logging in to their service transferred as plaintext (and thereby sniffable by the provider/network you're using).

I don't know - see if you have a 'view headers' or 'view source' option in your
favourite webmail client.
the mail isn't a 'web
mail'. there is nothing special about it, other than it's viewed / rendered /
shown in your computer via a webpage. Whether yahoo/gmail/hotmail systems get
rid of (certain) headers when they store the email, i don't know.

As above, is the date header ('Date:' ) added at the time of sending by the
sending party. Trivial to forge ( have you ever received an email , from
spammers or clock-deprived people that was sent in 1980? or 2015 ? :) )

The former, assuming it hasn't been tampered with.

I've never yet played with such redirection, so I'll leave it to others to comment, but the details will depend on what kind of firewall you are currently running. I am wondering what will happen if these visitors' mail clients try to authenticate against your mail server. If your server does allow SMTP-AUTH than the clients, if configured to authenticate will attempt to as far as I understand. It might be worth doing some experiments to see how this works. The "proper" solution to this would be for people to use the (new) SMTP submission mechanism on the submission port, but it appears that ISPs aren't doing enough to get their users to do things that way.

"Web manageable" with a bunch of features we don't use. The auto-negotiate has worked fine with everything I've plugged in. No glitches in over 7 months now. -RW ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: named and nfs mounts at boot time
Written by Tim Daneliuk on 07/13/07 17:29>> While we're on the subject of dns ... I have nfs mounts configured in /etc/fstab using the host *name*. When the system boots, it grumbles about the name resolution because named has not yet been started. It works fine because, by the time you have a fully booted system, named is running and nfs runs happily. 'Just wondering if there is a way to get the warnings during boot to be quiet without resorting to using IP addresses in the fstab nfs mount entries... If the filesystems are not needed until the system is up multiuser, you could specify the 'late' option on them in fstab, forcing them to be delayed until /etc/rc.d/mountlate is run after /etc/rc.d/DAEMON has completed.

clarification before buying a internet static IP address
I need from you advice before doign things. Up to now, I have a home web server using free DynamicDNS service of dyndns.org. With it, I can access directly to my home web server from ouside through Internet. Now for some reason, I not want to use DynamicDNS service anymore. So I tend to buy a staticDNS from domain reseller. Suppose that I only buyed a domain www.mydomain.com with internet static IP address : 74.52.8.254, not buyed hosting service from that domain reseller, can I be able to set up my own DNS server (in my home PC server) so that I can browse directly to my home web server by typing www.mydomain.com into address bar of firefox, opera? i meaned, in other words, in order to host one website so that in can be "seen" all over the world, I have no way but must use external hosting service?

Replace the bad drive and let Promise rebuild is one way. Promise RAID card does automatic rebuild after an array failure.

If you have any other advice, please let me know. Me personally not very much besides Xaa* options (which could be deductible to my eyes from your xorg conf/log), but others probably do have. However, it remains a bit unclear what those garbled characters exactly look like. Is the text garbled in xterm only? Or in windows decoration (you mentioned twm) as well? So: (1) It could be very useful if you could provide a snapshot; (2) You may try xfontsel(1) as a useful previewer of the fonts in use; (3) Try 'xterm -font ', list them with xlsfonts(1); (4) Try to start a new thread on freebsd-x11@ named "Garbled text with colour depth > 1 on older vga" -- or something like this -- this seems to be a crucial part; (5) Try asking even on X.org; (6) Whatever you do, please send a feedback here since this is a very interesting issue. :) Nikola Lečić ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You have a web site that you are hosting on your computer at home. You currently have a dynamic IP address. That's between you and your Internet service provider. You can get a static IP address from the, and then your IP address will always be the same. If you have a domain, presumably you used someone to acquire that domain for you. When/if you get a static IP address, just tell them what the static IP address and they can point www..com to that IP address. As for whether or not you can host a domain on your home computer so that it can be seen all over the world, read your contract with your Internet service provider. If it allows you to, then you can. If it doesn't, then you can't, and should use a hosting provider to host the site.

Maybe, it was made to happen this way but living in here over > the other side of the world, we do have to face power outages despite > our best efforts. The problem with power outtages is that in the presence of write caching *all* bets are off. In practice I have found this a bigger problem with UFS2 than with e.g. reiserfs on Linux; possibly because the characteristics of disk i/o in those cases make it less probably to actually trigger a problem in practice (but this is just my speculation, but fits my experiences). But regardless, all bets *are* off in the event of a power outtage. Unless you have battery backed caching controllers, you will need to disable write caching (hw.ata.wc=0) in order to be safe - at the cost of performance. Alternatively for 7.0+ or CURRENT you can use ZFS which understands these things and will actually send cache flush commands to the drives on transaction commits, thus allowing safe operation in the event of a power failure, while not taking the performance hit associated with disabling write caching. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: is is able to setting up DNS server reverse lookup with DynamicIP?
On Jul 15, 2007, at 11:07 PM, Olivier Nicole wrote: No, nobody else is going to see the results your local nameserver sends since it isn't authoritative for the domains, and the delegation for the IP block isn't going to point to your server but to the actual nameserver. Take a look at what happens when someone using an external nameserver does the same queries: For the example I gave, I am of course authoritative. Are you? Depending on which servers I query, I either get an NXDOMAIN, an answer with no authoritative nameservers listed, or the results you've shown. That implies that there is something wrong with the DNS delegation, and/or the various nameservers aren't returning reliable results.

PHP5/MySQL Problem
Been dealing with a very frustrating couple of days, and have hit a wall. I
had a working gallery2 installation, then upgraded mysqli, and all hell
broke loose.
When I try to open a page (in this case gallery2) that connects to the
database. It always says "Too many open links". The thing is, it even says
that if mysqld is not running.
I'm running under freebsd 6.1.
You can examine my server setup at http://geekfleet.tai-gear.com/server-info
You can examine the php setup at http://geekfleet.tai-gear.com/phpinfo.php
The problem I'm having now is that php5 won't connect to the mysql server.
It's not a gallery thing, I've confirmed that I have the exact same problem
with a simple script to just connect to the mysql server and read the
database. And, in fact, the exact same error occurs if mysqld is not running
at all. Apache shows --

that's correct - *url is loaded by iexplore "%1" , if i remember correctly.
The .url file is a simple .ini file with a different extension so it can be
mapped to a special application.

you don't need a 'system wide' registry... everything in current Microsoft OS
is so integrated with the shell ('win.com' in the old win16 days) that it feels
so seem-less.
Under a unix graphic environment like X, all you have to do is map the
extention to an application (more on this below) in your file manager of choice.
Rox lets you such thing, so does Thunar under XFCE,and I am 99.9% sure that
nautilus and kde's file browser would allow it too. OSX has it too (can't
test MacOS, but i'm sure you can click on an icon an have an application open
it - that is ALL there is to it)
Hardly rocket science or ground breaking stuff by MS..
If i understand it correctly, gconf exists to generate a registry type
system.
wine also has a u*x-based registry equivalent.

exactly. actually, i had this old script from back when to extract URLs
from .url into a csv file :
--
#!/usr/bin/bash
export IFS=";"
find -name "*.url" -printf %p\; > myfavs.txt
for i in `cat myfavs.txt` ; do
echo -n `basename $i .url` >>myfavs.csv
echo \|`grep ^URL= $i | cut -d= -f2` >> myfavs.csv; done
---
it was run in win32 under cygwin. it'd be trivial to change it so that your
file manager passes the .url filename to the script, the script greps the URL
from it and calls firefox with -url as Schiz says.

6.2-RELEASE-p6 panic on boot

The panic only occurs when the machine is cold-booted (not on reboot) when acpi.ko is loaded. http://home.cyberleo.net/cyberleo/workspace/Zip/Bugs/fbsd-20070716-panic/boot-dump.log Any ideas what I can do to debug or correct this issue, or of a more appropriate group with which to communicate?

Early on, I probably could have just replaced the ps but after a number of fsck's, followed by panics, there were files that were linked and etc. and the system wouldn't boot into single user mode. A rebuild using a brand new HD seemed the logical way out. I could mount the old disk and cp important directories or individual files onto the new HD. It turned out that / was the only one trashed but backup files of /etc , /home/user's, and all of the port tarballs were ok.

proftpd vs PAM authentication
Hi everyone, I am relatively new to FreeBSD and have what I hope is a simple question regarding proftpd and PAM authentication. I have just installed proftpd via the available port, and after installation a message was returned saying: ### Make sure you have the following lines in your PAM configuration file so that ProFTPd's PAM module can authenticate users correctly. ftpd authrequiredpam_unix.so try_first_pass ftpd account requiredpam_unix.so try_first_pass ftpd session requiredpam_permit.so ### After reading into this I am confused as to where exactly I should be entering this information. According to the proftpd README file, in FreeBSD it likes to get this information from /etc/pam.conf, whereas LINUX looks in /etc/pam.d/ftp, and what topped it off for me is the / etc/pam.d/ftpd file. Where is the best place to have this configuration information; is it required considering there is already lines in /etc/pam.d/ftp; if required should I overwrite /etc/pam.d/ftp or append to the beginning/ end of the file? I hope there is enough information here for someone to help. Any help provided is greatly appreciated in advance ;) Regards, Hartleigh. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

mount -awf, but fsck -y still says "no write"
I really don't feel like reinstalling tonite. I had a bad powersupply and crashed. Starts up in single user of course, because /var is fubared. In the past a mount -awf then an fsck -y did the trick, but now I get NO WRITE in big letters as the first output from fsck, and it never fixes anything. I tried of course, and I very well can write to /var, so fsck is confused. Other than wiping it, do I have any options? fsck does not have a 'force write' option that I can see.

bad network performance on 6.2-stable
Folks, I have old PC (P1 75MHz, 64Mb RAM, xl and fxp network interface, internet connection via pppoe), which was loaded with 4.11-STABLE and served as internet gateway plus hold samba and squid. I decided to turn it into wireless access point and upgraded it to 6.2-STABLE. Samba speed dropped from 2mb/s to 900kb/s. I tryed GENERIC and custom kernels, tryed to play with polling, but there was no speed increase. I tryed to install netbsd 3.1on the same hardware and got 2mb/s again, but I would prefer to stay with freebsd. Could you please tell me what options should I try to increase network performance? Please let me know if I should supply more information about my setup. Thanks in advance for your help.

Note that it says 0 open links is too many.
Note also that the file error was reported in is
"adodb-mysql.inc.php". I haven't used ado to connect
to MySQL but perhaps it does not get the limit from
the mysql.max_persistent setting in the MySQL section
of php.ini. Check line 366 in adodb-mysql.inc.php and
look for a call to "get_ini(" and see what variable it
is specifying (or perhaps it's a hardcoded value?).

Thanks a lot, It's possible that a few bits that the promise controller uses to identify the members of an array got flipped on one of the drives, thus turning a two-disk array into two two-disk arrays with missing partners. The fact that one array is missing its first disk while the other is missing its second seems to hint towards this. As it appears to be a mirror, you could try mounting both read-only in two separate directories and diffing their contents, then backing up the most recent-looking copy (just in case) and using the promise bios to destroy the mirage array and re-add the new spare disk to the original array. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: bonnie++ aborts on NFS volume
On Tuesday 17 July 2007 08:09:48 Nico -telmich- Schottelius wrote: > Anyone an idea why it aborts and how to fix? An idea why it aborts _could_ be the fact that the Linux (kernel) NFS-server (there's also a userland NFS server, but that's not widely used, so I presume this isn't the case for you) doesn't unlink files that are unlinked from remote immediately, but moves them to a temporary (.nfs) name before finally truly unlinking them in case the file is still referenced by some NFS handle (i.e., opened at the remote end), thus causing the directory to not be empty, even though all files in it have actually been unlinked from the remote end. I don't know whether some performance/caching issues cause this, but as the temporary (seemingly) disappeared when bonnie++ was closed (and thus all file descriptors of bonnie among with any cache the OS kept freed), I'd guess in this direction. Again, this is just a wild guess, and I've never had problems running bonnie++ on a Linux Kernel-NFS-server exported filesystem, but from Linux NFS-clients, that is, which might (or rather, will probably) behave differently. -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development - Office Germany - EXPO PARK HANNOVER Beenic Networks GmbH Mailänder Straße 2 30539 Hannover Fon+49 511 / 590 935 - 15 Fax+49 511 / 590 935 - 29 Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beenic Networks GmbH - Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hannover Geschäftsführer: Jorge Delgado Registernummer: HRB 61869 Registergericht: Amtsgericht Hannover ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
