PPP and NAT, this time.

2002-11-26 Thread John Jennings

To whom it may concern:

Thanks to all responses regarding my previous problem.  The issue was
resolved and our box is connected to our DSL line completely and correctly.

We completely remade our ppp.config, and it looks as follows:

default:
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set log Phase Chat IPCP CCP tun command

adsl:
 set authname our_username
 set authkey our_password
 add default HISADDR
 set device !"pppoa2 -vpi 8 -vci 35 -v 1"
 accept pap
 set speed sync
 set timeout 0
 enable lqr
 set lqrperiod 5
 set redial 15 1
 set dial ""
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 enable dns

This works beautifully.  Now, another problem we believed would be simple to
solve, but it isn't quite so.  We have a network card in the FreeBSD machine
with IP address 192.168.1.3.  It is connected to a Windows 98 machine with
IP address 192.168.1.1.The Windows 98 machine's TCP stack is completely
configured and operational (it can ping the FreeBSD machine and vice versa;
we are using a crossover cable to connect the two).   We want to enable NAT
on the FreeBSD machine to allow the Windows 98 machine access to the
Internet via the FreeBSD box.

We have done the following to accomplish this:

1)  Built a custom kernel with options IPDIVERT and IPFIREWALL

2)  Enabled the machine to act as a gateway in rc.conf
(gateway_enable="YES")

3)  Enabled natd in rc.conf (nat_enable="YES")

4)  Changed natd interface to "tun0" (our interface for ppp)
(natd_interface="tun0")

5)  Enabled named, so Win98 can resolve names using the FreeBSD box
(named_enable="YES")

6)  Created rc.firewall with the following lines:

/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via tun0
/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any

7)  Enabled the firewall in rc.conf (We compiled kernel with DEFAULT_ACCEPT
option)

8)  Created rc.local to initialise the USB Alcatel Hometouch on startup:

modem_run -f /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o -m

9)  We manually connect doing the following:

ppp -ddial -nat adsl

It connects succesfully and the FreeBSD box is on the net.

10)  The Win98 machine can ping IP addresses outside the LAN and our ISP
(i.e. it can ping the IP of www.google.com), but it cannot resolve domain
names, nor access IP addresses of web sites (i.e. we used www.hawaii.edu 's
IP address, and the web server could not be found, yet it is accessible by
IP address from elsewhere)

11)  We attempt to manually start natd on the FreeBSD box:

natd -interface tun0

12)  Same problem as # 10, no change.

Going with info given in reply to my previous problem, does a default route
for the 192.168.1.0 network need to be configured?

Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem pulling particular directory from CVS

2002-11-26 Thread Paul A. Scott

I've been trying to load the whole source tree from CVS, but 'cvs co' dies
on src/contrib/cvs directory.

cvs checkout: in directory src/contrib/cvs:
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write : No such file or
directory

Up until this point, everything was working fine. All the proper directories
were created and sources downloaded to the working directory tree. But I
can't get anything beyond this point unless I manually ask for it.

Any ideas?

Paul

IE does what you tell it if you give it a proper URL. That it doesn't
behave in the way you intended when you gave it a non-standardised,
abbreviated input, is not something that it should be castigated for -
unless you count teaching people the notion that "www.example.org" is a
valid URL.

make builkernel error on Athlon

Hi All

I'm busy compiling a custom kernel on a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ to setup

hi,

who is the best person to talk to regarding vinum docco? 


I suppose I'm as good as any.



the reason i ask is because i recently had to recover a crashed
system with vinum runinng on it, and i had a recovery scenario which
doesn't appear to be covered by any of the docs or online faqs... my
company has therefore tasked me with submitting a patch and getting
said docco updated...

fyi, the scenario was that the root disk containing /dev/vinum
lost so the whole thing was moved onto a fresh install.



That doesn't make any sense.


sorry - that should have said the root disk *was* lost. i.e. i was 
working on a brand new system disk which didn't have /dev/vinum on it.




the tricky bit was to get vinum to come back up without initialising
& wiping the volume(s).



vinum start


see above. since the system didn't know about the raid, there was 
nothing to start.




please respond to me direct - i am not subscribed to questions...



I'd be very interested to know what happened and what you did. 

ok, so we built a new bsd boot disk and did a vinum create with the 
original config to create the  /dev/vinum tree:

  drive d0 device /dev/da0s1e
  drive d1 device /dev/da1s1e
  drive d2 device /dev/da2s1e
  drive d3 device /dev/da3s1e

however, when we did a vinum start, raid1.p0.s0 and raid2.p0.s0 went to 
'init' state, so we shut it down. the eventual fix was to do a 'vinum 
read' on each of the devices, set raid1.p0.s0 and raid2.p0.s0 to 
obsolete (as they had been clobbered by the init) and then start everything.

i suspect what i should have done right from the start was just the 
'vinum read' on each hard disk instead of the create which made it think 
it was a new raid?


> Have
you read http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html?


yep. like all the others i've found, this deals with fixing problems 
within the raid itself, not moving a working raid onto a new system 
(which is effectively what i was doing).

cheers,
Adam

It's not your hardware problem. You could post your kernel config. :)
Bug probably resides there.

Also, there is a probability you've messed things up while cvsup'ing.
You should remove all SCSI (CAM(4)) devices from kernel, and I bet it
will compile.

backed up then deleted the entire backup mount, redid a fresh L0 dump and it
worked just fine.  Not sure what the problem was, or why it would choose to halt
almost exactly around the 2GB mark...  a quick search in google brough some 2GB

# man ls 
 
The solution is "ls -F". If you want to bind it permanently, edit your
~/.cshrc and 
add a line like this: 
 
alias ls ls -F 
 
You might consider this as more usefull: 
 
alias ll ls -alF

Simple enough.  If you log into the console without using X-windows,
all you need to do is:

ls -G

to see the pretty colours.  To save typing, you can alias 'ls' to 'ls
-G' in your shell configuration files:

alias ls  ls -G# .tcshrc, .cshrc

or

alias ls='ls -G'   # .shrc, .bashrc

If you're using xterm(1) under X-Windows, you need to do the above,
plus you need to tell xterm to use a terminal type that supports
colours.  For some reason hidden in the mists of time, the default
'xterm' terminal type under FreeBSD is better known elsewhere as
'xterm-mono', and you have to change to using 'xterm-color' to get the
colourization you want --- this makes quite a difference to several
programs like mutt, emacs, /stand/sysinstall which do full screen
character based stuff.  Simply put:

xterm*termName: xterm-color

into your ~/.Xdefaults file, and if necessary add:

[ -f ${HOME}/.Xdefaults ] && /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xdefaults

somewhere near the top of your .xsession or .xinitrc file.

Cheers,

Matthew

If you're running ppp with the -nat flag, don't run ipfw/natd.  The two
mechanisms are mutually exclusive.  I would recommend sticking with
'ppp -nat', so you can eliminate steps 3,4,6,7 and you don't need to run
with a custom kernel (IPDIVERT, IPFIREWALL).

As for step 5 (enabling named), this will only work as you intend if you've
configured named to forward all requests to your ISP's DNS server, like the
following:

options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
forwarders
{
209.226.175.224;// Sympatico DNS 1
198.235.216.110;// Sympatico DNS 2
};
};

If all else fails, try pulling the strip(s) and switching the slots. Then,
if you have more than one strip, drop to 1 and add 1 back at a time. If one
or more isn't seen, then the strip has probably gone bad.

Hmmm... No perl 5.005.03 on these systems, but:

% pkg_info -W /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Usage.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Usage.pm was installed by package perl-5.6.1_10

/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Pod/Usage.pm was installed by package perl-5.8.0_3

Pod::Usage is bundled with perl-5.6.1 or perl-5.8.0, otherwise you
need to install the textproc/p5-PodParser port.

Re: Jail setup with mount_union?

2002-11-26 Thread bsd

Nevermind. I just tried a couple of jail setups with a base and a couple
of mount_union'd directories. My machine promptly locked up on loggin into
them with ssh. Bleh. And mount_null doesn't seem to be what I want, as I
want write access without affecting the lower layer. O'well.

Is this possible: mschapv1 + mppe?

2002-11-26 Thread Dung Patrick

Hi,

I can establish mppe with mschapv1 in linux. I think FreeBSD (userland ppp) only 
support mppe + mschapv2. Is there any way to hack it to support mschapv1+mppe.

Regards,
Patrick

IIRC, courier-imap builds authdaemond wich has all the modules built-in.
See the courier-imap docs for details.

I never had much luck with the setup, either.  That's too bad, because it
seems like an almost ideal solution to a lot of jail problems.

This is only necessary if the poster wants to connect to "his box".  As
I understand it, he wishes to telnet to the natd box which is
10.10.1.91.  In this case, no forward is required.

It's built into "ipfw" and the kernel.  You must use "options   BRIDGE"
in the kernel build's config file.   You might well use "picobsd" too
and put the bridging OS on a floppy or CD with or without a hard disk 
on the system.  It's part of the basic OS and has it's own manpage.

The LINT file loosely implies that bridging is not usable with the "ipf"
firewall, but that's all I know about it.

Yes.

Just take away write permissions on the directory, but leave it 
on the file[s] in the directory.   You have to leave x permission 
on the directory, but not necessarily r permission.

On the /etc/profile method, sorry, forgot about not wanting to reboot
(although there may be a way w/o reboot). The other method .cshrc should
work on logout/login and there may be a way to do the /etc/profile method
without a reboot. The .cshrc is limited to each user's shell while the
/etc/profile is "global" to all of the shells except the root.  It's been a
long time since I set it up, I just know it works and I prefer it for my
needs.

I am unclear why there is a mail/twig port which depends on www/mod_php4
and databases/postgresql7, but mod_php4 isn't built with --with-pgsql and
--with-imap.

Does anyone succesfully use the Twig port using only official FreeBSD
ports?

You don't even have to log off and back on.  After you make a change to
your ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc file, you can simply run `source ~/.cshrc`

The only problem you can run into is kind of meshing aliases together, for
example if you had three different aliases that do the same exact thing.

I have been a tcsh shell user for the past 10+ years so I'd be happy to
forward you parts of my ~/.cshrc with commentary about what each part does
if you are interested.

By the way, it doesn't hurt to use full paths in aliases.  That way you
don't get into circular stuff, for example, use this instead:

alias ls "/bin/ls -alG"

That will allow the owner of the file to write, but will not let a user
create new files in the directory.

The 'sticky' bit on the directory will allow anyone to write to the
directory and control their own files but not delete other peoples files or
the directory itself.

chown dirowner:dirgroup dirname
chmod 1777 dirname

This may or may not be what you want, but from the original description it

I think the best thing to do is look at the man page
for gs and look at the sDEVICE swith options which
tells you basicaly which printers it will support. And
buy a printer that it supports and then all you have
to do when you want to print something is convert it
to postscript and then give it to ps to print it. Well
at least this way works for me.

"Invalid User" popping up that I have to click on "OK" (for both) before
I can start using gaim.

Is anyone else seeing this? Here's the uname info:

I surely didn't think that, but HTML was all I mentioned because I did
(falsely) think that MIME email was almost always either HTML or
complex stuff like MSFT Word or multipart things with images, etc.  I
didn't know it could be as simple as a non-MIME message with a
"MIME-Version: 1.0" header inserted, with or without a
"Content-type: text/plain; charset=something" header.

Per your suggestion, I've just read some of RFC-2045, but not all 31
pages or the several other RCFs which are essentially parts of it.
But I think I've learned a few things new to me and, apparently, you.

>2. 3. and 4. lead me to the conclusion that it *was* a MIME message,
>despite 1.

You are corrrect.  I've been missing that fact that MIME is often used
for (sort of) plain text messages.  Here are the offending message's key
headers with the false claim of charset, like you said:

Content-Type: text/plain;   charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

> AFAIK, this has changed with MIME. RFC 822 restricts email messages

Looks like we're both wrong, if non-STMP MTAs are allowed.  MIME hasn't
changed anything at the level I was thinking about (MTA) -- after MIME
encoding, if any.

First, both non-MIME and MIME messages MUST have only 7-bit data if they
want to get thru a SMTP system. RFC-2045 says:

   RFC 821 (SMTP) restricts mail messages to 7bit US-ASCII data with
   lines no longer than 1000 characters including any trailing CRLF line
   separator.

Second, non-MIME messages MAY have 8-bit data if they are using
"less restrictive transports" (than SMTP). RFC-2045 says:

   In the absence of a MIME-Version field, a receiving mail user agent
   (whether conforming to MIME requirements or not) may optionally
   choose to interpret the body of the message according to local
   conventions.  Many such conventions are currently in use and it
   should be noted that in practice non-MIME messages can contain just
   about anything.

But assuming SMTP MTAs, those different character sets are in the same
category as any other non-7-bit data; they require encoding to 7-bit
data so that those ASCII-assuming MTAs won't mangle them.  MIME has
options for other (eg, 8-bit) encodings or no encoding, but they are
likely to be mangled on the Internet.

> BTW, RFC 2045 specifies a way to pass non-ASCII messages through
> MTA's that assume all-ASCII world: the Content-Transfer-Encoding
> header.

Yes.  The default MIME encoding is none; the message must be 7-bit clean
for SMTP MTAs.  The offending message used "quoted-printable" which is
almost like 7-bit, except that 8-bit characters (and a few 7-bit'ers)
are encoded as "=#", where "#" is the 8-bit value encoded as two ASCII
HEX digits.  (The offending message had that OK.)  A more reliable
(but unreadable) 7-bit encoding is "base64".  Other encodings allow for
encodings to 8-bit data, no encoding, etc.

There's a whole other aspect of this that deserves mention.  Even if
MSFT software worked correctly, telling the truth about its weird
character set and properly encoding it, it's unlikely that my MUA
(Xemacs) would know how to decode it properly.  If it did, it would need
to either decode to the original weird character and support the display
of that, or translate the decoded character set to some other character
set, like probably Unicode.  (Which Xemacs might even support, I don't
know -- I HAVE noticed that has started displaying trademark symbols,
for instance where it probably used to show it as an octal number
(\###).)

Thanks for the education-inducing dialog.

No, I have over 40GB available on the filesystem.

CVSROOT is set to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
so, if the repository is corrupt, then someone else has to fix it.

I've tried scratching everything on my end, and starting with a clean

Just FYI, marcus (just me) is the maintainer of gaim.  Therefore, I'm

Re: Sony AIT tape position question

Well, it's been a while since this was posted, but 
I'm just getting a chance to re-investigate the

Hmmm executed this:

--
camcontrol devlist
--

and got this:

--
  at scbus1 
target 5 lun 0 (pass0,sa0)
  at scbus1 
target 5 lun 1 (pass1,ch0)
--

Then, I used that information to execute this:

--
camcontrol modepage 1:5:0 -m 2
--

and got this for output:

--
Buffer Full Ratio:  0
Buffer Empty Ratio:  0
Bus Inactivity Limit:  0
Disconnect Time Limit:  0
Connect Time Limit:  0
Maximum Burst Size:  1566
DTDC:  0
--

I couldn't get modepage output if I requested more 
than or fewer than 2 pages.

How do I use this output? What is it? I'm not 
familiar with low level SCSI, or FreeBSD Cam. But 
if you can give me some on-line references, I'd 
be happy to educate myself. (story of my life!)

Once I installed the 'ch' driver in the kernel, 
'chio' works great. I can now determine which 
tape is loaded, and swap tapes from the command 
line. Cool stuff.

I've tried to figure out a rhyme or reason to the 
rdspos and rdhpos outputs, but since my drive 
uses variable block size, I'm afraid it's 
hopeless It gives me a number, but I can't 
make any sense of it. I've tried multiplying by 
1024, 512, 2048, 256, 128, etc... but nothing 
comes up with a number close to what the drive's 
LCD "wound" indicator displays.

Thanks.

I hope you can point me in the right direction for 
the modepage thing.

The usual reason for such things is "nobody has done it already".
But in this case...

NetBSD has something similar to the scripts that SysV systems use
(like most Linux distributions).  The scripts still use rc.conf for
configuring the options and parameters of the services, and /etc/rc
takes care of running the proper /etc/rc.d/service scripts when the
system boots (or shuts down).  The order that the /etc/rc.d scripts
are executed is dynamically changed to satisfy dependencies that
these scripts might have.

The NetBSD rc scripts have been ported to FreeBSD 5.0 and have been
tested for quite a while in the CURRENT branch.  The upcoming
5.0-RELEASE of FreeBSD will use these scripts by default.

Now, I do realise that a lot of users will stick to 4.x releases until
the 5.x branch is considered stable enough for their purposes, and the
release notes of 5.0 include an "Early Adopter's Guide" that describes
why one would probably avoid running a 5.x release for some time.
Yet, this seemed like a good opportunity for me to advocate one of the
new, cool and exciting changes that 5.x will bring to the world :-]

I think it's probably a case of it works with some Palms but not others
(e.g. my Clie T625c or Palm Tungsten T, so I've never got it working
yet!)

ucom with uvisor certainly works for me. Look in the archives of the
freebsd-stable list for a message I sent a few weeks ago that has a few
tips and gotchas in it.

(e.g. my Clie T625c or Palm Tungsten T, so I've never got it working
yet!)

This is a known issue...  the Pilot-link guys are working on it (see the 
p-l list
and/or the folks that hang out in #pilot-link on irc.pilot-link.org).

There may be errors in both the USB stack and/or Pilot-Link.

No USB host controllers found

2002-11-26 Thread David Banning

I was compiling my kernel with different usb options, trying
to get a usb option working and I not get this error whenever I 
try to run usbd;

No USB host controllers found

I have restored my previous kernel settings, even tried to build
a kernel with GENERIC. I have cvsuped stable-supfile and even
done a "make world" followed by a new kernel.

Any idea what is causing my problem?

Well, that's one way of looking at it. However, since IE seems to go out of
it's way to "help" you out, one would NOT necessarily be WRONG to expect
that it would "help" consistently.

If I simply type "apple" in the "address bar" IE will prefix "apple" with
"http://www."; and add the ".com" suffix, after failing to connect to just
"apple". Likewise, if I simply type an ip address, IE will prefix it with
"http://";. You really get used to these SHORTCUTS, and begin to depend on
them. So, it's NOT really WRONG to expect that "192.168.1.1:80" will give
the same results as "192.168.1.1".

IN FACT, Mozilla Navigator, Opera, and other browsers WILL work as expected
if you type either "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.1.1:80".

To expect ANYTHING LESS could be considered WRONG.

IMHO, M$ should fix this "problem". :)

I do not find this to be the case.  I have a machine (hogx.csl.sri.com)
and on my windows box if I enter "hogx" into the location field it never
connects to http://hogx/ despite the fact that both machines are in the
same domain (.csl.sri.com) and that the windows box is configured with
this domain as its default domain and as a domain to search in.

port redirect with ipfw NOT NAT (not NAT)

2002-11-26 Thread Josh Brooks


Hello,

I want to perform a very simple act:

All traffic going to 10.10.10.10 port 50
should go to
10.10.10.10 port 5050

That's it.  The trick is, I am _not_ interested in running NAT.  This is
not some cable modem or laptop splitting my DSL service - this is a
rackmount firewall on a real network.  So again, I do not have any
interest in running NAT in any form.  Not interested, thanks.

But, I cannot seem to figure out what the ipfw rule is to perform this
simple task.  So the question is:


What is the ipfw syntax to redirect all traffic from one port to another.


Thanks!

Pine is being slow

2002-11-26 Thread Steven Lake

I've noticed lately that when doing mail or many other things in
Pine as of late, it's been very slow.  This includes moving between
screens, into and out of messages, marking and deleting messages, closing
the program, etc.

Not sure if this is related to my SSH sessions or not because I've
noticed periodical lag with those too.  Just not to the degree I see in
Pine.  The box is running 95-98% idle, so I know it's not maxed out or
under load.  It's just so weird to see it act this way.  Anyone ever
encounter anything like this?  What can I do to fix this?  Much
apreciated.  Thanks.

Re: allow write to directory but not modify the dir itself possible?

Well, you could chroot(8) them to that directory.   That would make it 
their root (eg /) and they wouldn't be able to do anything to the 
directory per se.  It would be their home directory while they were 
logged (or ftp-d) in.  They could even add directories under it, etc.
If you chroot them, you have to set up appropriate copies of binaries
(/bin /sbin/ usr/bin /usr/sbin, etc) that they will need to use while
logged in.

Another thing to consider is jail(8) which is sort of more intense along 
the same line.   It really depends on what else the users will need to do
while logged in.

I'll plan to check that out, as well as www.gmane.org, which was also
suggested here, and nntpcache, which looks like a way to speed up my
news access while allowing me to merge this specialized hierarchy with
standard newsgroups without even needing to store local article trees.

Thanks, all, for the valuable input.

Are you maybe running out of space on your local drive?  You might also
have a corrupted CVS repo, but I don't think you'd be getting those

ACLs should work fine on any UFS2 partition where ACLs are enabled.  I'm
wondering if it's actually UFS2, or if dumpfs is lying to you.  Could you
try the following command:

touch /foo
setextattr system foo foo /foo
getextattr system foo /foo

And tell me what results you get?  That will tell us if extended
attributes are available or not.

libufs stores the UFS version in disk.d_ufs based on the magic in the sblock
it finds, and then dumpfs simply does something like

printf("UFS%d", disk.d_ufs);

More or less...  So if it's lying, there's something much more fundamentally
wrong :)

Ok, that's modepage 2, which is the Disconnect-Reconnect page and
doesn't have any potitional status information anyway.  None of the
standard pages do, so you'll need to look at the SCSI spec document for
the AIT drives.  It's doubtful that one exists; modepages don't seem to
store ephemeral information like tape position.  They're usually used
more for configuration, like enabling retires on error, or adjusting
the streaming buffer sizes.

Try generating 1gb of random data, run a "dd if=randomdata
of=/dev/nrsa0 bs=1m ; mt rdhpos" loop until the tape fills up, and then
graph the results.  If it's a straight line, you can safely use the
results of rdhpos as a rough tape capacity indicator.  If you were not
writing completely random data, chances are your tape drive's
compresion algorithm was screwing up your calculations.
