Mirroring/load-balance two servers
Does anyone know if there is a "simple" way to mirror two servers without spending $ on hardware? I'm NOT talking about mirroring the OS and the files, I'm talking about sending http requests to a second server if the first server is down/un-reachable. This is sometimes referred to as load-balancing. The second server doesn't have to be updated in realtime, it just needs to have a fairly current version of the data files of the main server. So, for example if the main server goes off line for any reason, then web pages would be served up from the second server instead. Can this be accomplished with DNS?

FreeBSD 5.0 with a Japanese keyboard
I have a Japanese Keyboard made by Sun and I am trying to use it with a FreeBSD 5 system. The system works fine with a normal PS/2 keyboard. The Japanese keyboard, however, is recognized by the BIOS but after FreeBSD loads I cannot use it. I have ssh access to the system, so I can try anything. The Japanese localization section in FreeBSD is in Japanese -- but I'm not good enough to read it yet! ;P Thanks in advance, Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

CVS repository
While I am thinking about it, Is there any way to make an identical copy of the actual CVS respositories themselves. I'd like to drop them into my CVSROOT so I can browse it with cvsweb_graph for kicks. I'd just check it ou and import it, but then I loose all the useful revision/branching history from which I hope to learn. If your wondering what I am talking about see cvs.p6m7g8.net. Example module link then the Graph link. I'm sure some of you know this /usr/ports/cvsgraph which is horribly out of date. Is anyone working on an update if not, I'll make one. -- END -- Philip M.

MFC'ing
Thanks in advanced. Sorry for the crosspost, but I know some of you FreeBSD developers do this all the time. Note the naming scheme ... wink wink. Okay fine, so I couldn't resit the developer like apache cvs tags :) say I have branches: RELENG_1(stable/prod), RELENG_2(release/qa), HEAD(current/devel) branch point tags:RELENG_1_BP, RELENG_2_BP tags: p6_RELENG_1_0_PRE1, p6_RELENG_1_0_PRE2, RELENG_1_0, RELENG_1_1_PRE1 p6_RELENG_1_1, RELENG_2_0 eventually equivalents for RELENG_3 will be created from HEAD and support for RELENG_1 dropped. now say my respository has 4 files file1.pm file2.pm dir2/file3.pm dir1/file4.pm I change the last 3 on HEAD. Now a week later I want to MFC these changes and only these changes from HEAD to RELENG_2 branch. One of the big problems I have here is say that during the previously mentioned week, I change file1.pm and dir/file4.pm. I only want the initial changes MFC'ed as I have not had a "burn in" period long enough to move the back from the devel branch (HEAD) to our qa branch(RELENG_2). I think I have to add more tags to the tree to do this, but I am not sure. Please don't confuse this with wanting to merge branches into the trunk. That I know how do and it is not what I want. From FreeBSD, theres how we MCF new files. How do we change this to MFC multiples that already exist ? % cd sys/alpha/include % cvs update -rRELENG_4 cvs update: Updating .

make world fails at sendmail
Greetings. I'm having problems upgrading to *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 I tried a 'cd /usr/src && make world' three times tonight without success. I get the following error msg: ===> etc ===> etc/sendmail make: don't know how to make freebsd.mc. Stop After the second failure, i did a # chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/usr # rm -rf /usr/obj/usr # cd /usr/src # make cleandir # make cleandir per the makeworld.html reference in the handbook, did a 'make world' again, and it failed again. I (attempted) to upgrade to sendmail 8.12.8 a few days ago by copying the new binary into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and making from there. At this point, what do I have to do to either fix or remove sendmail altogether for 'make world' to work?

Re: printing to HP LaserJet 4050 TN

Ah, that's the beauty of it--it works with any PostScript printer. (Or
non-PostScript... see below.)
First, the /etc/printcap:
# /etc/printcap
lp:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/lp:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/checkps:
lpraw:\
:lp=:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=laser:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/lpraw:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
# end
You have to create the spool directories: /var/spool/output/lpd/lp and
lpraw. I chmod them to daemon:wheel and chmod them to 600. "laser" is
the hostname of the printer in /etc/hosts.
When you print to lp, the input filter (if=) called checkps sees if the
incoming file is PostScript. It also detects HP PJL PostScript jobs,
which the example given in the Handbook does not. If the job is
PostScript, it sends it to the lpraw queue, which is the real printer.
If the job is not PostScript, it uses Enscript to format it and then
sends it to lpraw. If you know your job is PostScript, you can send it
straight to lpraw in the first place. Here's the
/usr/local/libexec/checkps program (the fourth line should not wrap):
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Warren Block 01-15-2003
$_=;
$outname = /^%!|\e%/ ? '| /usr/bin/lpr -Plpraw' : '| /usr/local/bin/enscript -Plpraw';
open(PRT, $outname) or die "can't open pipe: '$!'\n";
print PRT $_;
while () {
print PRT $_;
}
close(PRT);
chmod +x the Perl program, and install the print/enscript-letter port.
If you want other computers to be able to print to this one, add their
hostnames to /etc/hosts.lpd.
Not the most efficient of filters, but it's simple and hasn't failed. If
the printer is PCL only, Ghostscript can be added to convert the
PostScript output to PCL.

Yes. It means you haven't updated your sendmail.cf file since 8.11.1 was out. The first version number is the version of the Sendmail executable. The second version number is the version of the Sendmail .m4 files that was used to create your current sendmail.cf file. It's generally a good idea to update your sendmail.cf file too whenever you change versions. It's not always mandatory, but just to be on the safe side, do it now. First make sure to take a backup copy of /etc/mail/*.cf, just in case the update doesn't work out quite right for you.

I've installed FBSD on several Thinkpads, and they've all behaved well. The only problems with a modern laptop and FBSD is winmodem support (if you need it, and it may work) and power management. The battery may not last as long as you think. A good place to see how well a particular model is supported is here: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ There are some similar sites for FBSD too.

Reproducible errors are the most helpful thing a developer can have to improve FreeBSD's stability. So try to reproduce it, but make sure you're doing it on the most recent -stable code, as your problem may already be fixed. If you can update to -stable and still get that error then file a pr and ask on the -stable mailing list as that is the appropriate place.

Not that I know of, and you've just started to uncover problems with doing things backwards. You really need to do the buildworld first.

AbiWord
No question, just help for anyone that needs it. After struggling with AbiWord 1.04, available at www.abisource.com, this is what you need to make it work with FBSD 4.7, the "easy" solution to which I did not come across in my searching: 1. Download AbiWord 1.04 (1.03 crashed non-stop for me). abisuite-1.0.4-FreeBSD_i386_gtk.tar.gz 2. FTP aspell-0.50.3.tgz *AND* psiconv-0.8.3.tgz from the FBSD ftp servers. 3. Grab pspell-.12.2.tar.gz (source is on the internet somewhere) and "./configure; gmake; gmake install". Then you should have a good and fairly stable version of GTK AbiWord ... In days of testing, it is the best WP for FBSD IMHO. It's native FBSD, and not a hog like Office suites, not a half done piece of junk, easy for anyone to use without training; and has a good interface with most WP features, without being overly bloated. It's really the only choice if you just want an ordinary average WP for FBSD (with the added bonus that you don't need 25 other pieces of software to make it work). -- If I could only find a non-GNOME/non-KDE/non-Linux browser(/email) package with the quality rendering of Netscape-4.8 without the bloat, and get my USB cameras to work, I'd be pretty happy. It kinda sucks to have to install an entire 100MB linux distribution and 25MB of netscape stuff just to view the web :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
ZYNX ZX346 - 4 Port PCI Ethernet card
Greetings, I'm making a couple small pc routers using ZYNX ZX346 - 4 Port PCI Ethernet cards in small Compaq deskpro systems (one pci slot). I'm using 4.8RC1 with polling enabled at the moment, but it does not matter if it's on or off. What the problem is is that everything is fine until the card is initialized by the kernel and then all 4 activity lights just start to flash. According to the driver it is a supported chipset /usr/src/sys/pci/if_de.c supports the 21140, everything i have read seems to support it, but what happens is that all 4 activity lights just blink and i have tested this on two identical machines with idential results. Anyone else have this problem with these cards? Getting a little frustrated at this point. Oh and what also is weird is that iget a de0-3 autosense failed: cable problem? error and the after a while i loose the interfaces all together with a broken message that i forgot to write down. (BTW i have tested this with 4 idential cards on two completely different machines with 4.8RC1 polling turned on and off) -- Chris Demers [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.govital.net www.govitalhosting.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Is this still a necessary step? Interesting question. I need to think about an elegant way of solving it. In the past we always did a make world before building a kernel, so it wasn't an issue.

The only trouble that I've experienced was with adding a new video card, an ATI All-In-Wonder VE (Radeon 7500, PCI version). When the card is not installed, and I'm using the integrated RageXL video, all works just great. However, once a new PCI video card is installed, I get NMI errors on boot, with a system hang. I've tried a few different things to try and resolve the issue; removing 'options EISA' from the kernel, and removing 'device agp' from the kernel. I've checked the mainboard for jumpers to fully disable the integrated video; there are none. Thus far, the only way I can get FreeBSD-5.0 to boot without incident was to add, 'hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0' to /boot/device.hints. Once I do that, no more NMI errors. I just hope and pray this option remains with FreeBSD for a long time to come so I can continue to use this ATI AIW card.

Why are you confused?
That depends on what you're trying to do and what the contents of

custom script. This isn't recommended though since you'd have to
carefully track all changes to the official version of the
rc.firewall script and merge any interesting stuff back to your
version of the script.
2. Add a new firewall "type" to rc.firewall
Copying one of the existing firewall types you cann easily add a
new one, and make sure that it loads all (and only) the ipfw(8)
rules that you want. This can be difficult to keep up to date
after changes to the rc.firewall script, but not as difficult to
keep up to date as option #1.
3. Write your own version of a firewall script
Copy `rc.firewall' to a new script (i.e., `rc.firewall.local') and
make your changes to the new script. Then set firewall_script to
point to the new script in `/etc/rc.conf'. For example:
% cat /etc/rc.firewall.local
fwcmd="/sbin/ipfw"
${fwcmd} -q flush
${fwcmd} add 1 pass ip from any to any
% grep firewall_script /etc/rc.conf
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall.local"
This is a fairly nic way of doing things, but it doesn't work
correctly if you want to tweak the way ipfw(8) is called by
settings things like firewall_quiet="YES" in your `rc.conf' file.
Mostly because the logic for all those firewall_xxx options is
implemented as part of the existing `rc.firewall' script.
4. Create a ruleset file, and point rc.firewall to it
You can always write your own set of firewall rules, without a
${fwcmd} prefix, and save it to a file, i.e. `/etc/ipfw.rules'.
This is a plain text file that contains *only* firewall rules.
No shell commands. You can use `#' for comments (as shown in the
sample file below):
% cat /etc/ipfw.rules
flush
add allow ip from any to any
Then you just need to make sure that your `rc.conf' contains the
following two lines:
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.rules"
The firewall_type value is the *FULL* path to the ruleset file. It
is important to include the leading `/' character. This way,
ipfw(8) will know that this is the path of a rule file and not the
name of a command (like `add' in `ipfw add ...').
This is the way I usually prefer setting ipfw(8) up. For various
reasons. One of them is that my firewall rules are not lost in
between the lines of some shell script that I don't remember I have
edited. Another reason is that having made no changes to the
original `rc.firewall' script, there is no need to take care for
merging changes later with mergemaster(8).
Phew. This was long.

libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 problems
HI all I have a problem with installing the macromedia flash6 plugin on netscape7 on my friends computer. I get the following error when initalizing the plugin: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape7-english/plugins/libflashplayer.so [libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] linux: 'ipc' typ=258 not implemented On my machine I see I have a /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 file that is linked to libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so. On google I get the impression that this file is part of the /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base port, the libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so is mentioned in pkg-plist.alpha but not mentioned in pkg-plist.i386. I am thinking of taking a chance and just copying my file into the correct location and linking it, but I am thinking, why does a plugin for an i386 system look for a file that is part of an "alpha" build machine and what is the importance of this file not being in the i386. I am still using "linux_base-7.1_1" and the current package in the ports is "linux_base-7.1_2" . Is it possible that this file has been ommited on purpose? Any ideas on how to bypass my problem without causing major damage to my friends computer?

When you change firewall_script in /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.firewall will no longer run at boot automatically. The ipfw rule above allows all packets for established connections to pass the firewall. This is determined only by the flags in each inbound packet, not because of any memory of the state of connections. You would also need rules dealing with the setup packets to allow the TCP connections to be created. It's in the ipfw man page and probably the FreeBSD Handbook also with better examples, but a quick additional rule to allow you to get out on ed0 with any possible TCP connection would be: ipfw add 00200 allow tcp from any to any out xmit ed0 setup Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

How many mbufs do I need?
I killed my FreeBSD 4.8-PRE (2003-02-18) server today by exhausting the available mbufs. I'd seen warnings like "All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see tuning(7)." in /var/log/messages, so I added `kern.ipc.nmbclusters="16384"' to /boot/loader.conf.local a while back. This server has 768MB of memory, and I run at least two copies of PostgreSQL (it has multiple jails) at any given time and use it to server NFS to a couple of Linux clients. Today I wanted to test Bochs on one of the Linux machines, ran the bochsconf program, watched it run "createdisk" to make a 512MB disk image in my home directory, and saw the server panic within a few seconds. When it came back up, I bumped nmbclusters to 32768, rebooted, and tried createdisk it. This time I watched `netstat -m' as the dreaded "All mbuf clusters exhausted..." message began to scroll up the screen. This time, the server stayed alive, but it clearly maxed out all available buffers. After createdisk was finished, the mbuf usage went back to normal: $ netstat -m 389/36736/131072 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 389 mbufs allocated to data 388/32768/32768 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 74720 Kbytes allocated to network (33% of mb_map in use) 345 requests for memory denied 1 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines My questions are these: 1) Is there a guideline for how many nmbclusters to allocate? Short of running out of physical memory, is there such a thing as too many? 2) I've already allocated 64MB to network buffering. This seems like a huge amount to me. Is it? 3) Should running out of mbufs be expected to crash the server, or should I try to reproduce it and file a PR? 4) What could createdisk have been doing to spike usage that heavily? 5) Could Linux's NFS client implementation have aggravated the situation? -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
HELP: Exim - SMTP AUTH, STARTTLS, and PAM or pwcheck on FreeBSD
--- Sorry if this gets posted twice, sigh, email issues -
I've been playing with exim for a little bit now, my new server I'm going to
roll out I would like to use exim instead of sendmail. So far, exim is much
nicer to use, however, I am at a loss where to go now.
I figure many would like to have the following ...
SMTP standard receive on port 25
Relaying supported on 25 via STARTTLS + SMTP AUTH
SSL Tunneled on port 485 + SMTP AUTH
I've gotten the tunneled part to work. I got port 25 going. I can't get
AUTH to work, and haven't tried STARTTLS yet.
My authenticators section, I have so far:
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition="${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}"
# server_condition = ${if pam{$1:${sg{$2}{:}{::}}}{yes}{no}}
# server_condition = ${if pwcheck{$1:$2}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $1
Note, the commented sections I have tired each and still generate the errors
below.

I have not modified /etc/pam.conf yet.
Anyone got some tips, help, advice where to go next - it seems like is a
PAM/pwcheck issue, not exim at this point, or a draft at an HOWTO ?
Specifics on exim and freebsd seem to be few right now.

Gnome2-2.2 and Nvidia GeForce MX 440 64 mb (NOT) DDR
Hello all, I'm going crazy with Gnome2-2.2 on a stable (cvsupped)version. It seems to be a conflict with NVIDIA drivers. Gnome started only one time and goes very very very slow (30 seconds to open each window). However, normally, it doesn't start! I've ramoved the NVIDIA driver and and then, with X nv driver, gnome starts very fast and works fine. But the video quality is poor and very noisy. Only at 640x680 the noise goes away.

Moved anonymous ftproot, any security concerns?
Hello to my favorite list of people. =] and without any further ado.. I recently reinstalled FreeBSD and i am afraid i didnt think to take the fact that i wanted to mirror freebsd isos and the ports collection into consideration. I also forgot that i had a personal library of a few gigs of ebooks. (i started a bad habit years ago of keeping my www root in /var. I have yet to kick that habit because all my configs and web scripts point to /var/www/html. heh. In short, i made var quite tiny and bit myself in the butt.. =[ [labs] /# df -m /var Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1d 3671 2840 53884%/var [labs] /# awww sh*t. I moved the ftp directory previously in /var to /usr/ and i edited master.passwd to point ftp to the right dir and did a pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd.. Ftp seems to be working just fine. My question is, is there some reprocussions of this that i should be weary of? Security issues? I have two 120 gig maxtor drives that i can move ftp too, but /usr isnt all that full cause i made it huge because i mirror the freebsd srces too. and i will never use all that space so it makes more sense to keep it in /usr if i can. keep in mind also this is anonymous ftp we are talking about. thanks. -- Independent WWW/FreeBSD/Linux/Unix consultant, email me for more info.

Re: cd sound on onboard card
Giuseppe, Off hand, I can think of the following that may be affecting CD audio: a) There is a special cable for audio that connects a CD-ROM to the sound card internally. Perhaps that cable is missing, or is malfunctioning. b) Your mixer settings may be allowing digital sounds through, but the CD line setting may be set to 0. Hope this is of some help.

vinum: low level access to subdisks / drives
Hello, Here is a vinum question. Assume this setup: Two partitions ad0s1e and ad2s1e of type vinum with the same size. vinum is set up to use this disks as RAID 1 (mirror): drive drive0 device /dev/ad0s1e drive drive2 device /dev/ad2s1e volume mirr plex org concat sd len 0s drive disk0 plex org concat sd len 0s drive disk2 newfs has been done and the /dev/vinum/mirr is mounted to /mirr with rw access. Everything is working without problem. Because we do not rely on the harddisks and the files at /mirr are accessed seldom and random, we want to check, if all sectors of the disks ad0 and ad2 are readable without problem. To do so, we want to run a nightly low priority cron job that tries to read all sectors of a disk without further analyzing the data read. The "result" of a failed read (hard disk failure) will be a kernel message in /var/log/messages, which we monitor 24x7 a day. Lets say we do dd for reading the sectors: dd if=/dev/ad0s1 of=/dev/zero bs=1024k Questions: 1. Will this conflict with vinum or its internal (kernel) data structures when vinum is running the same time with all components of the RAID 'up'? 2. Will this conflict with parallel read/write access to /mirr ? 3. Should we use "dd if=/dev/vinum/sd/mirr.p0.s0 ..." instead of /dev/ad0s1e ? with best regards Alexander -- Alexander Haderer Charite Berlin - Germany To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

How can I force it to install gcc in normal way? You don't want to do that. It'll break building the system. The commands installed in /usr/local/bin will use the correct libraries and include files. Just use those. You can just symlink gcc32 to cc in /usr/local/bin, and make sure that /usr/local/bin is in front of /usr/bin in your path. Things that use cc will use gcc32, and everything will work pretty much like you want. If you're willing to run code on a development branch - which means it's more likely to fail in strange ways, and there'll be less help available when it does - you can upgrade to FreeBSD 5.0, which uses gcc3 in place of 2.95. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

You've been lucky. Things other than the handbook order can - and often do - work. But the order in the handbook was carefully worked out to minimize the risk you are taking in doing the upgrade. For instance, by doing the installworld before rebooting on the new kernel, you're committing yourself to running the new kernel before you know if it'll boot or not. Since kernels have to support old binaries, but not vice versa, you can usually reboot with the new kernel and old world and have it work. I do that regularly when upgrading systems with src/obj mounted via nfs. Also, you need at least one last reboot. Running mergemaster changes configuration files that are used at system startup. Unless you reboot after running mergemaster, you risk those changes not taking effect. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Re: 4.3 -> RELENG_4
IAccounts wrote: Unfortunatly, I have never successfully upgraded a Free box yet, mind you I have only tried it on one. Last year I was dropped into a production environment with all 4.3 machines.

My question is not howto upgrade, but; 1> Since I have only production equipment to 'test' an upgrade on, I am very nervous. At what point of the upgrade procedure is it too late to turn back if something does not go right. If you install the kernel, then reboot (before installing world) you will be ensuring that the new kernel you built will boot reliably. This is the final practical point of return. If you have problems with the new kernel booting, you can copy /kernel.old back to /kernel and be back to where you started. If the new kernel is fine, continue with installworld. Once you've installed world, however, it's an ungodly amount of work to revert everything. 2> I keep amanda tape backups of every file system on all machines. If something goes critically wrong, can the system be rebooted at least to the point where I can pull data back off tapes? As long as your system is bootable, yes. Do you have FreeBSD 4.3 CDs? If so, you can easily do a base install, and then restore from backup to get back up and running as you were. (should things happen to go terribly wrong) I've very seldom had any problems upgrading using cvsup. You will hit a few (minor) gotchas ... read /usr/src/UPDATING and you won't have any problems with them. Basically: Update your source with cvsup read /usr/src/UPDATING and follow any instructions required (I believe you'll need to manually create the relatively new sendmail users) Reveiw you kernel config file to see if any options have changed since 4.3 make buildkernel make installkernel reboot >>> if the reboot doesn't go well, boot kernel.old and copy it to /kernel to get back to 4.3 make buildworld make installworld Going from 4.3 -> 4.7 may cause some problems with some ports. The solution is generally to uninstall the port and rebuild it. Update your ports tree first. Schedule yourself a nice chunk of time to do the first machine, then you'll be able to better predict the time required for the rest. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

How to determine if cpu-cache is working?
I am talking about a PII 300 MHz. The bios settings are OK for cpu-cache. The machine is slower than a PI 75 MHz. It does not look like hard disks. There is nothing in dmesg or messages that looks weird. So how can I see whether the cpu-cache memory is functioning? Could it be broken? Bonus question: How can I see at what 'speed' the RAM runs? Could there be something wrong with the RAM, not generating any error messages, no signal 11s?

The server side you get for free with the registration of your domain, at least with Enom (and its many resellers, which are much cheaper, see e.g. www.domainless.com).

Machine does not not do a normal "Reboot"

Re-installed O/S, system came back up, data intact on 2nd HD but not seen in fstab file, remount etc. OK smooth running, fine Doing a tar xf from a CDROM, system went into a "block size" error, starting a "disc sync" mode followed by a "reboot" condition but never came back up. Seems as if Win start up disk required in floppy drive and FreeBSD distr.

I have that working right now with:

> thanks,
If you are using NAT then the -redirect_port option to natd will do that (ie.
forward incoming port 22 connections to an internal machine), which can be
set in /etc/rc.conf in the natd_flags="-redirect_port ..." variable. You
have to create a corresponding ipfw rule to allow the traffic after natd
rewrites the destination IP to your internal LAN machine, which it looks like
you have done below, except the "from" would be "any" not "ROUTER_IP". It
will be the IP of the outside machine trying to connect to port 22.
I have a similar port forward set up. Early in the firewall rules allow all
established TCP connections, and then later allow the setup for the initial
SSH connection. 10.0.1.2 would be a machine behind the firewall to receive
SSH connections, and ed0 would be the external internet interface.
in /etc/rc.conf:
natd_flags="-redirect_port tcp 10.0.1.2:ssh ssh"
in the firewall script:
ipfw -q flush
ipfw add 00050 divert natd ip from any to any via ed0
ipfw add 00100 allow tcp from any to any via ed0 established
ipfw add 01000 allow tcp from any to 10.0.1.2 ssh setup
ipfw add 65530 deny log ip from any to any
I winged this so forgive any errors, but it's based on what I have working,
including a rule to deny and log everything by default at the bottom.

I want to install freeBSD. How can I create a new partition, taking some space from win2000 and not loosing my data? Is there a program that can do this? Thanks a lot. Partition Magic should be able to shrink the NTFS partition down and give you enough space to install FreeBSD. _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Is it absolutely necessary to use BIND9? After all, nsupdate and dnskeygen are allready in the base system. I was planning to start playing with this myself soon, but not if it involves upgrading bind. Ruben > -- > Kirk Strauser > In Googlis non est, ergo non est.

Re: Calling a Linux library from FreeBSD

Important things like struct stat and off_t are different sizes, so even if you can link with them, all except the most basic program will seg fault. XFree86 modules are an exception since they went to great pains to develop their own ABI that was portable across OSes. That's a shared library, btw.

You may have to install the linux-devel port, and build anything that requires that library under Linux emulation. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Thanks, I figured there would be scripts for the BSD side, the PPoE ADSL FreeBSD box I have out there automatically e-mails me it's address when it changes or reboots but I'm hoping to make get the other devices (Netgear, Linksys) addresses too. We map inbound ports for remote support on these. Dropping FreeBSD boxes out there would be nice but the Netgears are easier to source and configure for the local user should one blow up. > > At 09:25 PM 3/4/2003 -0800, you wrote: > >I have a static IP and a number of remotes with Cable or ADSL access. > >Remotes have FreeBSD, or router firewalls ala Linksys, Netgears. > > > >To make support/access easier can I set up my own Dynamic DNS server on > >the static address and have those remotes register their IP's with it > >when they change ? > >Thanks in Advance -Jay. > > __ Get your FREE personalized e-mail at http://www.canada.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
