Swap:  that's good.
RAM:  Excellent!  When your machine isn't using all of
its delicious and spicy RAM it steals some for buffering
(to gerundise agressively) disk writes.  Once she gets
a tad more loaded, she'll just stop buffering so aggres-
sively.  It really isn't good, per se, to be using swap,
it's just a cheaper fallback than getting more RAM/a
motherboard that can take more RAM/hosed by $RETAILER.
Since I have no idea how it works I won't go into any
particulars, but if you ever want to hear about why we
let Kansas vote on becoming a free or slave state, and
why the compromise was made to appease the southern
Democrats, drop me a line.

Love,
Franklin Pierce

portmap running amok

[Paul Chvostek]

Infrequently ... that is, perhaps once every few weeks, my mail server
grinds to a halt.  The load average climbs into the hundreds, processes
start getting killed off, and all because something seems to want to
launch as many instances of portmap as it possibly can.  And for the
life o' me, I can't figure out what.

The box is currently running 4.7-STABLE, but it's been doing this off
and on since 4.4-RELEASE.  The box is not an NFS server, but it becomes
a client from time to time, and portmap and nfsiod are launched at
startup.  There are no NFS devices listed in /etc/fstab, there is no
/etc/exports and no other NFS-related daemons are running.  If I catch
things in time (and have a shell already open), I can usually recover
with `killall portmap`.  If I'm not around (which is usually the case),
the box will either grind to a halt requiring a console reset, or merely
spontaneously reboot.

I can see no other strange behaviour (or network traffic) going on with
this box -- aside from this problem, it behaves perfectly.

Does any of this sound familiar?  Where do I look for the problem?

Tnx.

OK, good.  Thanks.

I think your "dict" definitions for "domain" and "hostname" do not
disagree with mine (though they're certainly different), except for
this part for "hostname":

That's just wrong, if it's trying to imply that a Fully Qualified
Domain Name (like "foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk") is not the name of a domain.
A hostname *IS* a domain name, either a FQDN or a part of one.  In fact,
when configured to support default domains, the host's domain name (AKA
hostname) can also be specified as foldoc or foldoc.doc or
foldoc.doc.ic, etc.  Maybe "dict" should have had "{default domain}" or
"{parent domain}" instead of "{domain}".

Do you really want to say that a Fully Qualified Domain Name is not a
domain name?  Both hostnames and domain names are just labels applied to
something that exists, namely info in the DNS databases; there need not
be any physical host for a configured IP.  It's a system that translates
IP numbers to domain names and vice-versa; it's the Domain Name System,
not the Host Name System.  We choose to associate most domain names (the
ones with IP numbers) with something we call hosts and so we may also
call them hostnames if we want.

Yes, you should have done that before you sent your first email :). Now 
that we are all wasting bandwidth, I don't think your computer can tell 
the difference between a wireless and a normal mouse. I have Microsoft 
opticals on two that work on the ps/2 port and one that is hooked up to 
the usb port. The roller scrolls through text on all of them. You have 
to setup your mouse in XF86Config to do that.

Having purchased several optical mice I will probably replace the 
remaining one that has a ball. The new one will be wireless. A wireless 
keyboard/mouse combo was going to be my Christmas purchase but they 
were all sold out. I bought a Soundblaster Audigy instead. MP3 
conversions of my audio CDs using digital extraction sound cleaner than 
wav's from the analog side. The wireless mouse would have been better. 
I needed 6 hours of parallel processing to reconvert my Spanish audio 
CDs.

I have that set up now and it works for the logitech mouse, but the
wireless mouse just won't work. When I try the frequency change button
on the base unit it locks up X. I unplug the wireless, plug in the
logitech and it works fine. Plug in the wireless and nothing, a cursor
that doesn't move. In the terminal plugging in and unplugging the
wireless shows the appropriate usb connection information.

3c589/PCMCIA.

[lewiz]

Hi,

  I've just got hold of a laptop for Christmas.  It has a PCMCIA network
card - a 3COM EtherLink III 3C589.  I am way out of date and still have
Coax running around my house, so it needs to be using the 10Base2 not
10BaseT.

  My problem is, the card is detected as ep0 yet I have a feeling that
it might be better as zp0.  I am not certain about this.

  The problem is - while it gets detected, quite well, I think.  I can
see lights change on the NIC as it detects it, which suggests the
probing is working fine.  It doesn't actually communicate with the
netwrok.  When I try and resolve my address via DHCP it doesn't flash or
anything.  Maybe I'm missing something.  I can provide any information
required.

  Any help would be much appreciated,

-lewiz.

In any case, it seems like it should be set in one place which holds for
both X and non-X sessions.  Maybe cobbled into a shell startup file or
even /etc/rc, but preferably in the "login" setup -- look for "umask" in
the login.conf manpage.

No. Only "fubar.org" is a domain name. The others are hostnames. A
domain name is just a name, but a hostname is a label applied to
something that exists. Every domain name can be a hostname if a computer
responds to that name.

I'm not sure what that means.  No, seriously, my dictionary says "study
or science of the meaning of language forms", but does that include the
meaning of single words or only about the meaning imparted by sentence
structure, or something else?

Of course this is about the meaning of words.  Specifically, about the
meanings of "domain" and "hostname" (in the context of DNS), keeping in
mind that many key words in our industry have no well-agreed-upon single
definition for all purposes and these are likely to be among them.

"Domain" means something like "a set of nodes in the DNS tree
structure", where nodes have associated info about hosts and domains.

"Hostname" sometimes seems to mean the string returned by the "hostname"
command/function (being distinguished from hostname aliases), but I
think it's fair in the DNS context to use "a domain name which has an
assigned IP".  (In the DNS, "host" doesn't mean "computer", of course.
Hosts are whatever have assigned IP addresses, except maybe networks.
Does DNS even know about networks?  I can't think why it should.)

It's a hostname and a domain name (and a domain, loosely speaking).

They are all domain names and, except for "fubar.org", hostnames.
(No host, no hostname.)

Thanks for the reply, Dan. Everything seems to be running well with this

That message comes up when sh notices that someone has set the
O_NONBLOCK flag on stdin.  sh resets it back to normal and prints the
above notice.  You usually see this when a curses or pthreads program
coredumps without resetting the terminal.

spamass-milter usually runs in the background or from rc.d so there
should be no way for it to affect your shell's tty settings.

RE: Refusing Connections

[Jimi Thompson]

Bernardo & Et. AL,

Thank you to those of you have generously offered me your assistance.  I
grew frustrated, gave up and formatted the drive and reinstalled with a
slightly newer version of FreeBSD, which seems to have solved the problem.
I was never able to determine the root cause of the issue.  I suspect that
it was something in the OS causing a proxy effect to port 8080.  I still
have no idea why this happened.  The only thing that was on this box is the
OS, Perl, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, and Apache.

I was able to determine from port scanning the box internally that the httpd
process was running, but not allowing any network connections.  I know that
my ISP is not the issue because I have a web interface on my mail servers
which operates initially on port 80 and that was not blocked.  The firewall
on the box was disabled.The httpd.conf that I was using is now in use
running the current build.

For informational purposes, in case someone else should encounter this
issue, I will repost some things.

The netstat that I did looked like this:

netstat -an -finet -ptcp
> Active Internet connections (including servers)
> Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address  Foreign Address(state)
> tcp4   0  0  4.60.243.40.22 4.60.243.201.1277

> tcp4   0  0  *.25   *.*LISTEN
> tcp4   0  0  4.60.243.40.22 *.*LISTEN


This was the ONLY thing in the error log.

Note that "top", etc. showed the httpd process running.  However, it
remained idle even when I was attempting to make a connection to the box.
Apparently the connection request wasn't making it through the TCP/IP stack
and reaching the httpd process.  Why this was happening,  I have no idea.
Maybe we were hacked???

Thanks, it does load the usb stuff at the console, but in X it doesn't
work. I probably have to make some change to the XF86Config file? Here
is the section for the pointer as it is for my current usb logitech
trackman mouse -

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse0"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
Option  "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option  "ZAxisMapping" "X"
Option  "ZAxisMapping" "Y"
Option  "ZAxisMapping" "N1 N2"
EndSection

Even with this setup the scroll wheel does not work. So, with the new
mouse I'd like the scroll wheel to work as well. Hope someone can point
me in the right direction.

It's just semantics, really.

Let's say you have a host with IP address 1.2.3.4, and a name
"fubar.org" (A RR) that resolves to 1.2.3.4. Is "fubar.org" a domain
or a hostname?

Let's say you have names "fubar.org", "alpha.fubar.org", and
"beta.fubar.org". There's no A RR for "fubar.org", but
"alpha.fubar.org" resolves to 1.2.3.4, and "beta.fubar.org" resolves
to 1.2.3.5. What is what here?

Let's say you have names "fubar.org", "alpha.fubar.org", and
"beta.fubar.org". All three names resolve to 1.2.3.4. What is what
here?

No excuse needed, if my reading is correct.  O'Reilly's "DNS and Bind"
says "The hosts are there, but they're domains, too."  It says that a
domain contains all the hosts within the domain.  (Leaf-node domains
just contain one host and have no name server serving lower-level
domains.)  Another book seems to agree (and notes that hosts may have
domain name aliases too).

Note that a domain named "freebsd.org" may contain a host named
"freebsd.org" as well as lower-level domains like "xxx.freebsd.org".  And
a domain named "xxx.freebsd.org" may contain a host named
"xxx.freebsd.org" whether or not the domain has lower-level domains.


Even if you don't accept the single-host domain idea, you can say that
your "sub-domain" is just shorthand for "sub-domain name" which seems to
be widely-acceptable shorthand for names within the domain tree all the
way to the leaves, where, in this mind-set, there are no sub-domains.

You need a MAP rule in your ipnat.rules file to map the private subnet
into your public IP address (that of the gateway).

If you don't have this in there, then you are not doing NAT, just packet
filtering.

man ipnat
man 5 ipnat

RTFM? locate(1)?

given a path name, it lists the file matching that pattern.  man
page state that it takes a "pattern".  in practice i find its
capabilities are rather restricted; using e?grep is much better...

  locate foo | grep 'foo$'

I think the magic in this answer is the quotes around *.html,
which (as Greg pointed out) prevent the shell from expanding
the wildcard, thus the limit doesn't affect the command.


or maybe you can use "locate"


Hadn't thought to try that, although I don't know how it would
work.  I also didn't want to wait for the locate database to
update before doing the search.  (although I had to wait for
replies from thet list - in the future I won't have to)

Thanks for the feedback.

Re: ram & swap

[David Nicholas Kayal]

First, and before anything, you normally log in as root or are you just
trying to impress us?

Second, ram is a lot faster than using swap.

Third, the problem with the ssh trying to log in probably has to do with a
hostname resolving problem.

that is about it.

FreeBSD cheatsheets has instructions for setting up a Dual Homed Host (2 NICs) using 
IPFW.
It works for me.  You can also get some additional information from the FreeBSD 
handbook
about NAT.  Which I also used in setting it all up.  It really is quite simple.

Either NAT is not working or the filter are blocking the packets. try doing an
'ipnat -l' and post the output. If the rules are loaded, drop the
filters ('ipf -Fa') and try again from one client.

Tell me if that works.

It *should* work -- it does for me.
[Although, in my case, it's the .xsession file, because I use xdm.]


Well, now that I'm taking a more careful look, it does ... sort of.
It seems as though I've been looking at the wrong thing, the problem
appears to be in the Mozilla downloader.  When I save an email from
Mozilla, it gets rw-rw-r--, but when I download a file, it gets
rw---.
I'll check the docs and Bugzilla to see if this is by design or a
known issue ... if not, I'll file a bug report.
Thanks for the pointer, and sorry for the noise.

`pdwn' does exactly what you want, see kbdmap(5)
change your keymap (in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/) as you like

Video card with TV OUT

[Alvaro Gil]

Can anyone recommend a video card with TV out that can be used with 
FreeBSD.  I would like the TV to be the only monitor connected.  Also 
it should do 800X600.

Anything out there that works like I want it to?  Its for a MP3/DVD 
player project that will be connected to a TV and use a wireless 
keyboard, so it is very important that the TV port be the only active 
monitor at startup.  Thanks.

Can't route past gateway

[Adam Lofstedt]

I tried to send a message to the list earlier, but my
email server was down.  I checked the archives, but I
can't tell if my message has been posted already, so I
apologize if it has.  If anyone has already replied,
could you forward your response to this address?

I have a freeBSD machine with two NICS that I am using
as a NAT gateway.  No matter what I do, clients on my
LAN can't get past the gateway.  They can ping both
the interal and external interfaces of the gateway,
but can't get outside.

I am using IPF and IPNAT as loadable kernel modules. 
My /etc/rc.conf looks like this:

gateway_enable="YES"
kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
nfs_reserved_port_only="YES"
sendmail_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
usbd_enable="YES"
ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipfilter_program="/sbin/ipf"
ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules"
ipfilter_flags=""
ipnat_enable="YES"
ipnat_program="/sbin/ipnat"
ipnat_rules="/etc/ipnat.rules"
ipnat_flags=""
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
inetd_enable="NO"
hostname="forcefield.mydomain.com"

ipf -V gives this:
ipf: IP Filter: v3.4.29 (336)
Kernel: IP Flter v3.4.29
Running: yes
Log Flags: 0 = none set
Default: pass all, Logging available
Active list:0

Here is dmesg showing ipfilter stuff:
IP Filter: v3.4.29 initialized.  Default = pass all,
Logging = enabled

(it also says some things at boot, like "IPFilter
module loaded", and other things about ipnat getting
flushed and loaded, but I don't know how to get dmesg
to show me exactly what it says at boot time).

My /etc/ipf.rules file has just this for testing:
pass in all
pass out all

My ipnat.rules file has this:
map 192.168.1.0/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/udp 1:65000
map 192.168.1.0/24 -> 0/32

In this configuration, my outside interface is getting
its info via dhcp from my cable provider.  I also
tried this similar configuration at my work, using
same internal addressing scheme, but using a fixed IP
for the ext. interface with no luck.  I just can't get
past the outside interface of my gateway.  What am I
leaving out?  And this is not a DNS issue, as I am
pinging only by ip.  Do I need to add static routes or
something?

I've googled for hours and hours already... :(

Thanks for your help,

ghost-ing a ufs+vinum disk

[Hari Bhaskaran]

Hi,

I am looking for a method to dump my 'current' installation
(which includes couple of vinum volumes + some other normal
UFS partitions) to another machine where I have access to 
a CDR. I don't want to dump the entire HDD, but only the
used sectors/files. If you are familiar with Norton Ghost running
from a boot floppy uploading contents to a Ghost server,
that's exactly what I am trying to achieve. Norton Ghost
seems to 'support' UFS, but it merely dumps every sector of 
a hard disk - not really what I want to achieve.

BTW, I don't have hotswapable drives and such. So using vinum
itself to make a spare disk is not an option. I don't
mind temporarily rebooting the machine on to a different OS/disk
to do this backup.

Any help is appreciated.

What do you mean by "don't appear to be bootable"?
Did you burn it and then found out that its not bootable?
After going through /usr/src/release/Makefile, I realize
that the image created is bootable. Why don't you burn it
and test?

XFree86 4.2.1 Signal 11 on start

[Paul A. Scott]

The XFree86 package delivered with the 4.7-RELEASE of FreeBSD fails on
signal 11 at startup. Building XFree86-4 from ports gets the same results.
However the XFree86 3.3.6 port works fine.

Can anyone, PLEASE help me fix this problem. I have been unable to run
XFree86 since version 4. I've tried to rebuild with debugging symbols so I
can find the location of the failure, but without success.

Log follows.

Thanks,

I think I know what you are trying to say Ms. Thompson.  It probably
seems that you have gotten your Apache configuration to start and run,
however, for whatever reason, can not seem to get the Apache Daemon to
serve you a webpage.

By default, unless you changed it in "/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf",
apache will create a socket and bind (listen) to incomming connections
on Port 80.  As, previously mentioned, some ISP's do block incomming
Port 80 connections before they can get to your webserver, for various
reasons, I won't tread into why they do that.

However, even though your ISP might block the connection, that does not
mean that you cannot have Apache serve you a webpage from inside your
LAN.  To test that Apache is up and running this is what you need know
now, and the steps you should take.

1)  Find out the internal IPv4 address of your webserver.  (If you only
have 1 internal machine behind your router you can use "127.0.0.1").
Make sure that there is a good "Route to host" from whatever your
workstation might be at to the webserver, i.e. Ping the webserver make
sure it responds.

2) Make sure that Apache is running.  This will tell you for sure:
# netstat -an | grep -i 80
You should see some output like this:
tcp40   0  *.80 *.* LISTEN

3)  If you have X Windows running, you can use your normal browser,
otherwise you'll want to install "Lynx", you can find and install this
port by doing the following:
# cd /usr/ports/www/lynx ; make && make install

4)  Then time to test to see if this really works, with your browser we
need to enter the IP address of the webserver on the LAN, again, if you
are going to test the webserver from your one box, "127.0.0.1" works
fine.  So enter this into your browser:
http://the_webserver_ip_address
-- Possibly could look somthing like this:
http://192.168.1.2
-- or --
http://127.0.0.1

If you did install Lynx to use it from the command line:
# /usr/local/bin/lynx http://your_webserver_ip_address
or
# /usr/local/bin/lynx http://127.0.0.1

Hopefully you got something back on this request, if not, something
might be incorrect with your Apache config.

If you did get back a default webpage or what you did expect from this
request (one of your own webpages perhaps), thats good, it means
that everything is just fine with Apache.

5) Now all you need to do to get around your ISP's blocking of Port 80
is just stop apache:
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
then edit the "/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf" file and change the
line that now specifies Port 80 and change it to something else, many
people use Port 8080 as an alternative.

Then just start Apache again:
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

Check to make sure that your listening on the correct port:
# netstat -an | grep -i 8080
tcp40   0  *.8080   *.* LISTEN

Thats all!
Hope that'll get you going in the right direcetion.

It is strange, since I got Linux also on this machine, and "halt"
powers down properly, but not on FreeBSD.

Is there a way to start a script when crtl+alt+del is pressed? I looked
at the keymap, and only found BOOT PDWN and HALT. I would need it to
power down.

And BTW, I got DP-2 and RC-2 on two different machines, and both of
them keep outputing on the console a *lot* of "calcru" messages. Are
you guys getting it also?

thanks

Well, it's not a shortcoming.  These argument lists get passed into
the kernel by execve(), which changes the process image.  There's only
a certain size you can put in.


Understood.  Perhaps 'shortcoming' wasn't the correct word to use,
as it's a designed limitation.  It sure feels like a shortcoming
when you're just trying to find the page with the docs you need ;)

Well, we used to have an ARGSMAX variable, but it has now been
replaced by a sysctl kern.argmax.  It's set to 65536 by default.  You
could increase it, but at some point you'll always run into problems.
You can't make it longer than physical memory, for example.


Here we go!  This is incredibly useful.  It tells me exactly what I
need to know.  Thanks Greg.


> or some other way of overcoming this limit?

That's what the xargs program is for.  You just used it incorrectly.
It should be:

 find . -name '*.html' -print | xargs grep __FILE__

Putting the '' around the name stops the shell from trying to expand
it.


Ahhh ... so (making sure to understand this information so I can use
it again later) the quotes tell find to expand the pattern, without
quotes the shell tries to do it and results in the mentioned error.

I used the '' method, as I normally have no need to hunt around in
directories this big.  But it's good to know that the sysctl is
there, in case I ever want to use it.

if you mean include a header, then yes, for C code.
Simply use `#include <*.h>' in the C source (both gcc)

this is for use with the system gcc (2.95)

use the standard include files, ie.: `#include ',

squid question

[Alex Carlos Braga Antão]

hello, again, I will insist on my question, because it is urgent...
I Have a squid box (2.5-Stable, FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE). 
It sends all requisitions to a proxy box over my firewall, that sends all requisitions 
to
Internet. The proxy is a SWS-windows200 server. 
The PROBLEM is that it works for any requisition, but when I try to make a search on 
any
search site (like YAHOO), i get a requisition timeout.
Does anyone have any ideia of what is happening ???

Thanks a lot !

Adding to standard include path (GCC)

[Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim]

Hello all,

I'm a starter to programming in FreeBSD after a few years in Visual C++ and 
would like to delve deeper into it. But I have a few questions which I need 
answers. I hope it wouldn't be too much a burden to you.

I have two gccs installed, 2.95.4 (stock gcc) and 3.1.1. 

1) How do add to the standard include path to a path that I designated without 
using the -I flag or is it fixed only to /usr/local/include and /usr/include.

2) I notice that the gcc31 include files does not contain the standard C 
headers ie stdio.h, assert.h etc. Does this mean whenever I want to link to 
the header, it is sufficient to use the ones in /usr/include?

3) I notice too that there are many C++ and STL include files I'm getting 
confused on which ones to use. The files are located at /usr/include/g++, 
/usr/local/lib/i386-portbld-freebsd4.7/3.1.1/include/g++v3 and 
/usr/local/lib/i386-portbld-freebsd4.7/3.1.1/include/g++v3/backward. Can 
someone enlighten me on which one should I use. I intend on programming 
purely in C++ with the exception that in later date, I might be forced to use

You can have a small partition and install the boot image (3MB) on it
with the same tool you can use for writing the floppies. After that
you have to mark the partiiton active with fdisk. You will not be able
to use this space during the installation of FreeBSD. You can reuses
this space after that for swap space. 

I have used this trick on a linux computer using the swap space of
the computer.

Hi,
  Sorry if I missed this from an earlier post, but a couple of
questions. I presume that you're attempting to run a webserver that is
accessible from the Internet, and you're trying to test it. As such:-
1] Where are you attempting to access the webserver *from*?
2] How are you trying to connect?

You mentioned that you can connect on other ports, could you provide an
example?

The reasoning behind my questions, is the fact that if you are sitting
on your local lan, and attempting to access the webserver as
"www.your_web_server.com" in your browser, then unless you have local
(read internal)  name resolution on your lan, then you won't be able to
connect.

If you've got the webserver set up and running, a request from your
internal site would take the following route (if you're attempting to
connect via the method above):

Your browser would attempt to resolve the www.your_web_site.com through
whatever NS (from ISP?) entries you have in /etc/resolv.conf. Unless
those NS's have records for your webserver, they won't be able to return
any resource records to your browser.

In the same vein, unless the box that the webserver is running on,
actually knows its name to be www.your_web_site.com, then he won't know
to answer requests at port 80 anyways.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I've got your setup completely wrong as
well :-)

Regards,

Stacey

Nothing is wrong, because #10 and #15 describe completely different firewall
rules. For example, #10 checks only packets via ppp0, but #15 checks packets
via any interface. And so on.

Refusing Connections

[Bernardo M. Brummer]

If it´s a DSL or cable connection probably your provider has blocked the 80
port.
In this case they are workarounds using (free) domain services.

Depends on /etc/*yslog.conf :)
And pay attention to size of swap :)
Of cause, "Custom setup" must be choosed in sysinstall - "Automatic
Setup" wis it's defaults is not suitable for such exotic cases

Not a nice idea. I'm not sure this will work. LSD grows rapidly,
and requires more and more disc space.
íÁÕ be, 3.x or 2.x or famouos 1.5 will run, but it is not a good 
idea too - poor early versions, with a lot of security holes and other
bugs.
To be true, now sufficient HDD of about 1G costs less, then the
troubles You will have with installing to Your dick :)
The other way is to try PicoBSD.

Re: Help with IPF and IPNAT

[Aleksey I. Yurlov]

You didn't send any rules for it? Do you tune them?
Try to read this about ip filter installation and sturtup-time pulling.

Argh!  I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my NAT gateway going.  

I have two interfaces, one external and internal, servicing a private LAN.

I have tried loading IPNAT and IPF as loadable kernel modules by adding the

gateway_enable="YES"
network_interfaces="x10 dc0 lo0"
ifconfig x10...

ipfilter_flags=""
ipnat_enable="YES"
ipnat_program="/sbin/ipnat"
ipnat_flags=""

Each interface is up and running.  My default gateway in /etc/rc.conf is
the gateway of the external NIC.

Can anyone see anything wrong with what I am doing, or something missing? 
Do I need routed installed and running?  I also tried
forward_sourceroute="YES", but that didn't seem to help.

Read FAQ, 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html
You can choose only bin distribution. Maby, good solution is to not
divide disk to root, /usr, etc. Try to use only root.
I'm never tried to install 4.x FreeBSD to such small disk, but you can
try :)
Another way is to use old FreeBSD versions or PicoBSD.
