semget problems

[paul beard]

Hey,

I am having some problems with semaphores on a 4.7-RELEASE system using 
gramofile. Allis well the first time I use it, but subsequent uses will 
kick back a "semget: no space left on device" when I try to playback a 
sound file.

there were some conversations about this in years past, but I don't see 
how to solve it. What I ended up doing was adding the Sys V semaphore 
stuff from LINT and cutting the number of semaphore per ID to 33 out of 
a system total of 61.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=kern%2F12014

http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=semaphores%2Fsemget+problem&list=159

Any guidance on this one? I'll be rebooting to see if that helps, but if 
anyone can spare me the trial-and-guess process, I'd appreciate it.

Re: half speed on 10/100 nic?

[Dragoncrest]

You mean are there several connections sharing the same 
bandwidth?  Not normally.  Rarely are there two simultaneous connections 
going.  But when we do connect, we usually hit it hard for brief periods of 
time of 2-5 minutes on most things.  Transfer of things across the net via 
FTP will have it tied up for about 1-2 hours from time to time, but that's 
about it.  That's why it baffles me why when I ask for full bandwidth and I 
am the only one using it I only get 50% of max speed.

Will multiple, separate connections use the total speed?

Re: half speed on 10/100 nic?

[Dragoncrest]

How are you testing the transfer rates?


FTP is the primary way.  I also look at the download speeds for 
http via lynx, samba, and wget.

What type of network is the machine connected to?


Standard 10/100mbps lan via Cat5e.


Are there more than a couple of machines active on this network?


Just 2 currently.  This machine and one workstation.  The server 
sits next to my workstation and acts as a general departmental file 
server.  It's a low usage server too, so 2 people on at the same time is rare.

Are you using hubs or switches?


Dedicated switch.

Re: half speed on 10/100 nic?

[Dragoncrest]

You might want to post what dmesg says about the nic and the output

from:-
ifconfig 
netstat -i 

Transfer speeds can be affected by a host of factors, so its worth
posting as much information about the set up as possible.

On my hardware (ASUS board / Plextor CDRW) I need to specify the block 
size with the 'bs' switch as in 

$  dd bs=2048 if=/dev/acd0c of=x1

or I get the same results you do above. I'm not sure what happens if you 
use different block sizes, but the above allows me to e.g. make copies of 
Linux and BSD ISOs.

ipfw divert open ports

[Joe]

Hello,
	I just got dsl and am using freebsd as a router / gatway for my 
internal network.

	When I scan the machine from a REMOTE IP address (from work) it shows 
the ports in OPEN status.

	xl0 is the internal network interface.  dc0 is the external network 
interface

	even without rule 02000 nmap shows the following when I ssh to work and 
nmap my ip address

20/udp openftp-data
21/udp openftp
22/udp openssh
23/udp opentelnet
24/udp openpriv-mail
25/udp opensmtp

	below are my firewall rules:

	How do I lock this down so that ALL the ports show that they are closed???

Joe

IPFW Squid problem

[Mark Pearce]

Hi all

I have a small problem with Squid, I am running 4.7-STABLE on a server
that is running 3 network cards, all with private range IP's.  I have
installed squid with the transparent proxy functionality as per the
ports and it works 100%.

My network is as follows:
10.0.2.100 -> router to the internet
10.0.4.1 -> internal network with hosted webserver
10.0.0.1 -> private lan

MY situation is as follows:
My router has a cross over cable connected to this machine,
the other 2 cards are supporting a hosted server and other clients
wanting internet access via my line.  I have the following rules loaded
at the moment.

00051   88  14535 allow tcp from 10.0.2.100 to any
00052   61   8058 fwd 127.0.0.1 tcp from any to any 80
65535 18147300 8402581899 allow ip from any to any


My problem is that I have a hosted webserver on one of the network cards
and if I run the rules listed above as directed by www.squid-cache.org,
the transparent proxy works, but all requests to the hosted web server
fail.  I suspect that this is due to every request passing though the
server on port 80 is redirected to the proxy server.

How can I allow packets directed to the webserver not be "hijacked" by
the fwd rule for the proxy server as I suspect that this will allow the
hosted webserver to work as per normal.

Thanks
Mark

I have had no trouble with a Voodoo5, using X's voodoo3 driver (tdfx).
If you use xf86config it's number 530 (I just saved you a bit of
scrolling.)  :)  

I did have trouble with FreeBSD and X at one time on one box, but the
issue was the Asus Motherboard--this was fixed, however, back in April. 

So I would suspect that you'd have no trouble.

Re: How to suspend....

I'm pretty much of a newbie to bsd/networking, so I feel kind of dumb even 
writing to this list. But, I don't think anyone's suggested it and it might 
help.

Maybe your loopback address could be useful in keeping the session open?

like I said, I'm a newbie, so I'm not sure how... Maybe some "stateful" 
packet forwarding, or some sort of tee, or something
Or maybe it won't.

Anyways,
Good luck

I may have missed a reply here but
I can't see anything about the Windows

What is the proxy setup on the win box?
What is the gateway setup on win box?

Ping will work even if none of the above
have been setup because it works on 
the IP part. Would you're trying to use
is the TCP part.

Run "ipconfig" from the run menu on

devfs and sound

[Derek Tattersall]

I'm running CURRENT cvsup'ed recently.  I've just started to get sound
working and I don't really understand devfs and how it works.  When I
use mplayer it tells me  it can't find /dev/dsp.  Now I can kldload
the appropriate sound card driver module (I have a Creative 5880
AudioPCI adapter) and it always worked splendidly under stable.

So there are really 2 questions:

1  What is /dev/dsp and how do I make it exist?
and
2  How can I get a deeper understanding of devfs, beyond the man
pages?

I'd really appreciate it if you'd copy me, as I'm not subscribed to
this list.

There is also Dia in ports/graphics/dia - works great and has some

FreeBSD will run with any graphics card on the planet.
If you never get into the GUI scene, you will be fine.

It is the X window system which is picky about what will
run and what won't.  Check your card with the video
driver list at www.Xfree.org  If it is not on the list, go
get a card which is and you will be up and going
in no time.

Oh. Well, your needs weren't clear to me. I just thought you wanted to
simply suspend telnet or ssh, which is explained in the man pages. I didn't
realize you also intended to disconnect (close) the connection.

I understand your frustration. Sorry for increasing it by not understanding
your requirements.

Quite frankly, I don't think you can accomplish (what I now think you want)
once you close the tcp/ip connection. Something must continue running to
keep the connection alive. Certainly, moving to a different ip address will
require a fresh log in.

What does the access.log say for Squid?

Are you sure the proxy is set up properly in IE?

Are there any other proxies you're chaining together with squid, like
junkbuster or something?

Are you running any add-ons to squid, like squidguard?

I'm sure there are other possibilities, but I'd check those first.

In any case, you should probably not expect to get much more than 80% of the
rated speed - even in an ideal setup.   100mbps is the theoretical
maximum bit rate, not the data rate.  Remember that you have some
amount of overhead in the various protocol headers.  How are you testing
the transfer rates?  What type of network is the machine connected to?
Are there more than a couple of machines active on this network?  Are
you using hubs or switches?

It's really no different from the Linux system of naming in most
respects.  The names/numbers are arbitrary.  Does the Linux systems of
/dev/hda_number_here make sense to you?  If so, then
/dev/ad0s_number_here should not be any stretch.  The main difference
being that FreeBSD generally likes to further segment a slice
(partition in DOS) into separate filesystems i.e. /, /usr, /home, etc.  I've
heard it said that the way in which FreeBSD segments a given slice
(partition in DOS) is not unlike that of how DOS handles an extended
partition, although I don't know for myself how accurate this is.  At
any rate, it seems to me that this systems offers a good degree of
flexibility, as FreeBSD will nicely fit into a single primary partition.

You might want to post what dmesg says about the nic and the output
from:-
ifconfig 
netstat -i 

Transfer speeds can be affected by a host of factors, so its worth
posting as much information about the set up as possible.

	Hi all.  Got a weird one for ya.  Got a server that's using Freebsd 4.5 
and a Kingston 10/100 nic.  One problem.  I can only get it to go at half 
speed.  No matter the link, no matter what speed setting its set at, I can 
only get half of the total available speed.  Examples.

	On a 740k DSL line I can only pass 360k max.  On a 10mbps lan link, I can

I don't really care about windows honoring the *NIX permissions.  When
the share is mounted via smbfs at boot, it is mounted as a single
windows user, so essentially all FreeBSD users are connecting to the
windows box as the same windows user.  If I understand correctly the
UNIX and Windows permissions are two different systems that run
independently of each other (except for those cases where the
permissions conflict).  Windows shouldn't care who the UNIX owner is, it
is only concerned about who is connecting to the machine via the network
with that particular username and password.  

I don't know why adduser correctly sets the ownership of the home
directories in /usr/home, but not in my mounted directory, which is in
/mountedshare?  I tried moving /mountedshare inside /usr, but that
didn't work either.

Newbie routing question

[Daniel Benito [ATRIL]]

This is probably pretty easy, but I'm a complete newbie regarding network
configuration, so please bear with me :-)

I've just had a nice LMDS (radio) connection installed, and my provider has
assigned me 16 IP addresses (A.B.C.0/28). After weighing different options
(and consulting a few friends), I decided to install a FreeBSD firewall
using IPFilter; since I have more internal interfaces than public IPs, I'm
also using IPNat.

At first, I configured NAT to map all private IP addresses to the firewall's
external interface's IP address (A.B.C.2), and everything worked as
expected. However, I want certain internal machines to have their own
external IP address, so I added some extra bimap entries to my
/etc/ipnat.rules to make this work. Now, NAT works fine, but my firewall
refuses to route packets from these specific IP addresses out into the real
world.

Clearly, having gateway_enabled="YES" in /etc/rc.conf isn't enough, so I
though I could use a routing daemon. I configured routed (using "-s" as
recommended by sysinstall). Running netstat -rn reveals that the entire
A.B.C.0/28 subnet is routed to the router provided by my ISP (A.B.C.1):

DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs  Use  Netif Expire
defaultA.B.C.1UGSc20if0
A.B.C/28   link#1 UC  20if0
A.B.C.100:07:e3:50:e4:38  UHLW10if0   1234
127.0.0.1  127.0.0.1  UH  00lo0
192.168.0  link#2 UC  30if1
192.168.0.13   00:cd:ef:01:23:45  UHLW00if1   1234
192.168.0.14   00:ef:01:23:45:67  UHLW00if1   1234

I figured there was no need to add any static routes, but it still doesn't
work.

I looked around the web, and I found a page that recommended that I added
all of the public IPs as aliases on the external interface. It specifically
gave two options:

1. Use: ifconfig if0 inet A.B.C.x netmask p.q.r.s alias
route add -host A.B.C.x 127.0.0.1 0

2. Use: ifconfig if0 inet A.B.C.x netmask 255.255.255.255 alias

If I use option 1, I run into problems because I can't add more than one IP
with the same broadcast address (and I don't know what broadcast address I
should use for the other IPs, other than the same one I'm using for the real
IP of the interface). Option 2 works fine, but I don't quite understand why
it works and why I should have to use it. After adding the aliased IP that I
need, the output of netstat -rn looks like this:

DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs  Use  Netif Expire
defaultA.B.C.1UGSc20if0
A.B.C/28   link#1 UC  20if0
A.B.C.100:07:e3:50:e4:38  UHLW10if0   1234
A.B.C.13/32link#1 UC  00if0
A.B.C.14/32link#1 UC  00if0
127.0.0.1  127.0.0.1  UH  00lo0
192.168.0  link#2 UC  30if1
192.168.0.13   00:b0:7d:9f:ba:40  UHLW00if1   1234
192.168.0.14   00:b0:7d:a0:9a:02  UHLW00if1   1234

So, what I don't understand is why it didn't work when it only had
A.B.C/28 -> link#1, but it works now that if explicitly has routes for
A.B.C.13 and A.B.C.14. Can anyone explain this?

MTIA,

Daniel

PS. Just in case anyone is interested, this is my current ifconfig:

if0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
 inet A.B.C.2 netmask 0xfff0 broadcast A.B.C.15

I use dia here. Its no way near as comprehensive as visio (I really like
visio), but its the closest thing I've come across so far in my
searches.

Have a look: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/

Its pretty much the best visio alternative I know of.

you broke a dependency. go back to building GENERIC, if that
succeeds, add just *one* feature, including it's dependencies if any
(recursively), and build again.

as a general advice: read the comments carefully. if a comment next
to an "option" of "device" foo says it requires bar, it's not a
joke.

Voicu,

First, ALWAYS put a subject in your post and try your best to summarize
the entire question in a few descriptive words.  Frequently, not putting
a subject will cause list members to skip over and ignore your post.

Second, read the handbook section 2.5: Allocating Disk Space at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
This should help you to understand device naming/numbering in FreeBSD

That said, assuming that you are using IDE HDDs, you device names will
probably correspond between Linux -> FreeBSD something like:

FreeBSD-> Linux
/dev/ad0s1 -> /dev/hda1
/dev/ad0s2 -> /dev/hda1
/dev/ad0s3 -> /dev/hda1
/dev/ad0s4 -> /dev/hda1

>From here you can read up mount(8) for more information on mounting
various filesystem types.  A Google (or similar) search would probably
also prove helpful.

Good luck,

> my problem is mounting vfat/ext3 partitions:

Mounting ext3 partitions under FreeBSD is apparently pretty much the
same degree of um, "challenge" as mounting ext2 partitions.  You need
a custom kernel with:

options EXT2FS

compiled in.  See Chapter 9 of the Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html)
for detailed instructions.  Even so, Linux filesystem support is not
entirely without pitfalls.  The trick is apparently to always make
sure the ext{2,3} partitions are cleanly unmounted and to install and
make appropriate use of a recent version of e2fsprogs
(ports/sysutils/e2fsprogs).

> under linux my table looks like:

Linux partition names work like this:

  hd  --- 'hard disk': ie. an ATA disk device
a --- Drive 'a': the master drive on the primary channel
 1--- Bios partition 1 ('Slice' in FreeBSD parlance)

If you have multiple drives, they are usually labelled according to:

  a  --- master, 1ary channel
  b  --- slave,  1ary channel
  c  --- master, 2ary channel
  d  --- slave,  2ary channel

[Aside: SCSI disks use the 'sd' driver and the drive letters 'a', 'b',
etc. are assigned in sequence in the order of the SCSI busses and ID
numbers.]

FreeBSD partition names work similarly:

  ad  -- 'ATA Disk' driver
0 -- The first disk (usually the primary master)
 s1   -- Slice 1 (Bios partition 1)
   a  -- partition 'a' (FreeBSD partitions only)

FreeBSD defaults to numbering the drives in order of discovery so if
you have two disks thay will be ad0 and ad1, although this can be
overridden in the kernel configuration. The search order is '1ary
master, 1ary slave, 2ary master, 2ary slave'.

The slices are numbered s1, s2, s3, s4 --- the four primary partitions
---, s5, s6 etc. for logical or extended partitions.  FreeBSD should
be installed into a primary partition if you need it to be bootable...

[ SCSI disks use the 'da' (Direct access) driver, and are numbered in
order of SCSI bus and SCSI ID unless overridden in the kernel.]

Read carefully the mount(8), mount_ntfs(8), mount_msdos(8) and
mount_ext2fs(8), fstab(5) man pages, but in general it's something
like:

mount -t type -o options /dev/ad0sN /mnt/point

You'll need to add appropriate support to your kernel config to mount
the various different filesystem types, and note that some (NTFS in
particular) should probably only be mounted read-only.

That's because everything is different in FreeBSD. Or at least, it's
most different at the kernel level.

Re: Re: local copies of packages during their installation

[Jörg Meyer]

Thanks a lot. But as I understand your script it would only
for the mupad package. That's great, but I am interested
in a more general solution.

pkg_add is really an impressive command, but why isn't there any
way (as it seems) to tell it not onley to extract the package it 
is fetching but also to make a local them?
I cannot understand that!

If you want to install FreeBSD with a common set of applications
on several computers how would you do that efficiently when
getting the corresponding package set is so difficult?

Thanks again for any good ideas concerning this problem.

Yours, Joerg.

my problem is mounting vfat/ext3 partitions:
under linux my table looks like:
/dev/hda1 - > win2k
/dev/hda2 - > root of gentoo linux
/dev/hda3 - > swap of gentoo linux
/dev/hda4 - > my freebsd workstation

Any 1 please, how do I mount the partition of linux/win2k under freebsd?

Every thing is named different in freebsd.
Thanks

Hi,

  This looks like you've got an Adaptec ahc SCSI controller, to me?  Am
I right?  I was wondering if I could awfully cheeky and ask if I could
see your kernel config for the device.  I've been trying to get an
AHA-2920 working for some time now and I have not yet got the kernel to
even probe it (after booting in verbose mode).  I'm wondering whether or
not I have my kernel config. wrong.

  Thanks very much,

Eat pizza, watch TV ... and lose 22 pounds

[hinim]

Hi,

If you're like me, you've tried EVERYTHING to lose
weight.  I know how you feel - the special diets,
miracle pills, and fancy exercise equipment never helped
me lose a pound either.  It seemed like the harder I tried,
the bigger I got, until I heard about a product called
Power Diet Plus.

You're probably thinking to yourself, "Oh geez, not another
miracle diet pill!"  Like you, I was skeptical at first, but 
my sister swore it helped her lose 23 pounds in just two weeks, 
so I told her I'd give it a shot.  I mean, there was nothing 
to lose except a lot of weight!  Let me tell you, it was
the best decision I've ever made. Period.  Six months later,
as I'm writing this message to you, I've gone from 355 pounds
to 210 pounds, and I haven't changed my exercise routine or diet
at all.  Yes, I still eat pizza, and lots of it!

I was so happy with the results that I contacted the manufacturer
and got permission to resell it - at a BIG discount.  I want
to help other people lose weight like I did, because it
does so much for your self-esteem, not to mention your health.
I give you my personal pledge that Power Diet Plus
absolutely WILL WORK FOR YOU.  If it doesn't, you can return it
any time for a full refund.

If you are frustrated with trying other products, not having 
any success, and just not getting the results you were promised,
then I recommend the only product that worked for me - POWER DIET
PLUS.

You're probably asking yourself, "Ok, so how does this stuff
actually work?"

Power Diet Plus contains Lipotropic fat burners which are 
scientifically proven to increase metabolism and cause rapid 
weight loss. No "hocus pocus" in these pills - just RESULTS, RESULTS, 
RESULTS!! 

Here is the bottom line ...

I can help you lose 10-15 pounds per week naturally, without
exercising and without having to eat rice cakes all day.  
Just try it for one month - there's nothing to lose, and everything 
to gain.  You will lose weight fast - GUARANTEED.  That is my
pledge to you.  

To order Power Diet Plus on our secure server, just click
on the link below:

vnc can do that.  You run vnc in server mode on your FreeBSD machine
and the vnc client gives you an X desktop in a window that you can
connect to or disconnect from at will.

After you have installed this you do this:

# screen
# execute the command you want
# ctrl-a d
# exit

The next time you can do:

# screen -r

And it all is back at the screen.

Unless I am mistaken, I do not see how this can be done. SSH sessions, as
any other process, can be suspended, I suppose; but once you lose the
connection, as in: unplug / turn off your laptop, that socket connection is
gone, and gone for ever.

Perhaps you need to redesign your concept. Maybe I lack imagination, but
what is the use of suspending a telnet / SSH session? It seems to me that
what you want is to suspend the tasks you are working on within the SSH
session. That can be done using regular process management, and does not
require your SSH session, to use a Windoze term, be "hybernated" or
something.

Re: How do you suspend and resume a remote shell session?

[Andrew Cutler]

Hi Uli,

I'm not a total n00b as some of my previous posts would suggest, I do
use the '&' method when needed ;). Its great for running kernel builds,
as you suggested.

However what I'm really trying to achieve is to keep X apps alive when
running them remotely, and be able to connect and disconnect at will and
still have the app up and running, exactly where you left it.

Anyone who has used Terminal Server or Citrix in a disconnected
environment will know what I mean, about suspending and resuming
sessions.

I've been looking tentatively for info on how to do this for about a
year now and so far I haven't found anything useful.

Regarding my previous post, I couldn't help but poke at the comic irony
of Pauls post. No agro intended, other than to poke fun and perhaps cut
down on the number of noise posts.

If I understand you right, you don't want to exit the session,
because you are afraid the program you started is going to close,
too.
This can be prevented by typing an  &  at the end of a command
line:
# make kernel &
will go on building and installing a new kernel, though you log
out.

Sorry, if I misinterpreted your question.

Maybe my question wasn't clear enough. I would like to SSH into a box
with say my laptop, setup some tasks, run some programs, suspend the
connection, unplug and turn off my laptop, and then come back to the
same session a few days later, perhaps using a different computer. I
would also like to be able to do this with XDMCP / remote X.

and yes I do rtfm, do u read questions or do u just answer them :)

-> ouch!

Seriously, I'm not trying to start a flame, I 'm just looking for some
answers, I've been looking at this for a while now but there does not
seem to be any info available on how this is achieved.

As Dan suggested, I'm going to look at screen, which looks quite
promising. Any other legitimate info / advice would also be appreciated.

Re: local copies of packages during their installation

Hello,

I've been experimenting with FreeBSD since the day
day before yesterday. Coming from the MS-world I am very 
impressed already.

I installed the system from a CD created from the Mini-Iso-Image.
Installing packages with pkg_add -r I would like to have local
copies of the downloaded tarball in order to create an adapted
CD with the packages I really need (just for the case of a new-
or re-installation).
Of course, all the depending package-tarballs should be download
as well - otherwise I could also ftp them manually.
Furthermore it would be really nice if the directory structure of
the FTP-Server was duplicated locally as well.

I know (from experimenting) that make package within the ports collection
can archieve something similar (packages are created under /usr/ports/packages
if existent). But following this strategy in my opinion has 3 major disadvantages:
1) Compiling packages like XFree86-4 takes quite a long time on my machnine.
Solution a) Buy a faster machine. Compile takes it's time
Solution b) Do not compile but download
Solution c) Wait
Solution d) reduce your optimization level


2) It is impossible to create a package without installing it.
In case of the package is installed already make returns an error
telling me to deinstall the package first.

It seems to work. Try 'NO_PKG_REGISTER=yes make package"

No, I have a DSL flatrate. Why should I pay extra money for
back-up CD-ROMs? They will be outdated next month anyway.

local copies of packages during their installation

[Jörg Meyer]

Hello,

I've been experimenting with FreeBSD since the day
day before yesterday. Coming from the MS-world I am very 
impressed already.

I installed the system from a CD created from the Mini-Iso-Image.
Installing packages with pkg_add -r I would like to have local
copies of the downloaded tarball in order to create an adapted
CD with the packages I really need (just for the case of a new-
or re-installation).
Of course, all the depending package-tarballs should be download
as well - otherwise I could also ftp them manually.
Furthermore it would be really nice if the directory structure of
the FTP-Server was duplicated locally as well.

I know (from experimenting) that make package within the ports collection
can archieve something similar (packages are created under /usr/ports/packages
if existent). But following this strategy in my opinion has 3 major disadvantages:
1) Compiling packages like XFree86-4 takes quite a long time on my machnine.
2) It is impossible to create a package without installing it.
In case of the package is installed already make returns an error
telling me to deinstall the package first.
3) dependencies are not considered.
make package in /usr/math/mupad only creates a mupad-package
but no package for linux_base which is necessary for mupad.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Don't you make local copies of packages you install(ed)?
Thanks for each advice in advance.

Yours,
Joerg Meyer

elf(5) looks like a good start. ELF isn't FreeBSD specific: it's the
same binary format as used in Linux, SVR4, Solaris and many more, so a
small amount of time spent googling will turn up such documents as
http://www.skyfree.org/linux/references/ELF_Format.pdf

Cheers,

Do you expect windows to honour the *NIX permisssion flags?
Only ntfs comes close but differs too. So, what you want is not
possible afaik.

SQUID question

[P. U. Kruppa]

Hi,

I am testing Squid on my home network:

+--+   +--+
| 192.168.10.1 |   | 192.168.10.2 |
| squid proxy  |<--|Win2k |
|  on -STABLE  |   |   Client |
+--+   +--+

Squid can be used properly on the proxy-machine (with
linux-mozilla1.2.1 directed to localhost:3128 ),
but Win2k's InternetExploder (directed to 192.168.10.1:3128)
cannot open any webpages: After some minutes it ends up with
"... couldn't be opened"

C:> telnet 192.168.10.1 3128
seems to be ok: the dialog window is opened.

This is my rule set in squid.conf so far:

acl pukruppa src 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0
http_access allow pukruppa
http_access allow localhost
http_access deny all


Thanks for any ideas.


Uli.

RE:  TRANSFER OF ($26,000.000.00 USD}
TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS

Dear Sir,

We want to transfer to overseas account 
($26,000.000.00 USD) Twenty six million United States
Dollars) from a Prime Bank here in South Africa, I
want to ask you, If you can look for a reliable and
honest person who will be capable and fit to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new
Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an
empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as
you will remain honest to me till the end for this
important business trusting in you and believing in
God that you will never let me down either now or in
future.

I am the Auditor General of one of the prime banks
here in South Africa, during the course of our
auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened in the bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has
operated on this account again,after going through
some old files in the records I discovered that the
owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] hence
the money is floating and if I do not remit this money
out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The
owner of this account is PEDRO F. HASLER a foreigner,
a great industrialist and he died since 1998.No other
person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that until
his death he was the manager GOLD ARK [pty]. SA.

We will start the first transfer with Six million
[$6,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining rest amount to your account.

The total amount involve is Twenty six million United
States Dollars only [$26,000.000.00]. I want to first
transfer $6,000.000.00 [Six million United States
Dollar] from this money into a safe foreigners account
abroad before the rest. But I don't know any
foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money can not be approved to a local
person here, without valid international foreign
passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c  because the money is in US
dollars and the former owner of the a/c is a
foreigner too, and the money can only be approved into
a foreign a/c.

However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together when we meet face to face after the first
transfer of $6 Million before transferring the second
part of $20 Million. I am revealing this to you with
believe in God that you will never let me down in this
business, you are the first and the only person that I
am contacting for this business, so please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take urgently. Send also your private telephone and
fax number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit.

I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together
immediately after the first transfer before we fly to
your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments.

I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you are
capable and will meet up with instruction of  a key
bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
business. I need your strong assurance that you will
never, never let me down.

With my influence and my position in the bank the bank
official can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account that you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical
arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official
Will destroy all documents of transaction immediately
we receive this money leaving no trace to any place
and to build confidence you can call me for heart to
heart discussion through my private satellite phone
which I secured for the security and safety of this
business as you know that this business is
confidential.I will use my position and influence to
obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this
money to your account with appropriate clearance from
the relevant ministries and foreign exchange
departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transferring.

I look forward to your earliest reply through my email
address.

Yours truly
Samsin  joe
