Re: Problem(s) resolving names with natd/ipfw.
1. I would try enabling named on the FreeBSD gateway and set it as a forwarder to the DNS of my ISP. Then set all the clients' primary DNS to that of the internal IP of your gateway. 2. I would also not use "OPEN" firewall type. I would not be comfortable with it. 3. I would also take out the lines firewall_type and firewall_script from rc.conf and instead create a shell script in a startup_dir (eg /usr/local/etc/rc.d) and put all my ipfw rules in there and chmod it to be executable. I think the original /etc/rc.firewall awaits variables set in rc.conf eg firewall_type, etc. - Original Message - From: "Jose Albores" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2003 12:57 PM Subject: Problem(s) resolving names with natd/ipfw. > The problem summary is as follows: > I'm setting up a very simple LAN at home using only > two machines with fixed private ip addresses either. > The FreeBSD gateway is connected to the internet > through my cablemodem ISP's modem. > > The problem is that the Windows XP client CANNOT > access the Internet with alphabetic names (should be > called a DNS problem?) but it YES CAN do it with ip > addresses (numbers). > > AFAIK (being a newbie in networking issues) it seems > that no problems arise from the gateway side after > "setting" up natd/ipfw. > > >From the client, I can ping to numeric addresses > locally and outside.

Problem(s) resolving names with natd/ipfw.
The problem summary is as follows: I'm setting up a very simple LAN at home using only two machines with fixed private ip addresses either. The FreeBSD gateway is connected to the internet through my cablemodem ISP's modem. The problem is that the Windows XP client CANNOT access the Internet with alphabetic names (should be called a DNS problem?) but it YES CAN do it with ip addresses (numbers). AFAIK (being a newbie in networking issues) it seems that no problems arise from the gateway side after "setting" up natd/ipfw. >From the client, I can ping to numeric addresses locally and outside. And (again using ip-numbers) I can telnet to my pop server's 110 port. But not with "names". The (gateway) server has NO problems with alphabetic addresses. Neither pinging the local network nor with the internet. Maybe I forgot some "flag" for natd in my /etc/rc.conf? Is/are there other option/s in my kernel-configuration file needeed? Any hint will be appreciated. Please feel free to ask for any necessary info. These are the "details". It's my first job with networks, and the scenario is as follows: The server: · Pentium 233 MMX. · OS: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. Alternating with Win 98 for testing. · dc0: interfase to my cablemodem ISP. · vr0: interfase to my local network connected to a hub. The client: · AMD athlon xp 2.0 Ghz. · OS: Windows XP. Adding DNS servers to the network config in the client didn't solve the problem. BTW it's not necessary to add DNS entries when the server boots with Win 98 + Microsoft's ICS. On the server side, I built a new kernel with (all?) the necessary options: · The GENERIC kernel, adding: options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=200 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT The /etc/hosts file has three entries: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.homenet.org 192.168.0.1 daviddavid.homenet.org 192.198.0.2 goliath goliath.homenet.org My /etc/resolv.conf has been automagically generated when first configured the interfases. Maybe? it updates on every boot. And my networking-related lines in /etc/resolv.conf are as follows: --- Begin of /etc/rc.conf --- hostname="david.homenet.org" # [...] chunking a few not-networking lines... ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" ifconfig_vr0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" firewall_script="/etc/my.rc.firewall" #firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" ### did not work either!!! natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="dc0" natd_flags="" --- End of /etc/rc.conf --- The COMPLETE /etc/my.rc.firewall is extremely simple: --- Begin --- #!/bin/sh /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via dc0 /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any --- End --- Testing "blindly" the /etc/rc.firewall also did not work.

This will be overwritten later so don't fuss too much about details. 2) Use to partition the second disk in a vinum compatible configuration using disklabel (bsdlabel, I believe in 5.x) but including conventional partitions for the system beginning 265 sectors inside the vinum partition (which in turn should start 16 sectors inside the slice; ie 16 sectors inside partition c -- saves disklabel from being over written). 3) Go back to your installation CD and install the system you want on the conventional partitions you created in step 2). Be careful not to edit the slice or partition mapping during installation! 4) Boot into the new system. Map the conventional partitions to vinum volumes. Start vinum -- replace fstab entries with corresponding vinum volume references and configure /boot/loader.conf to boot into vinum. 5) You should now be able to boot directly into vinum; but no mirror yet. While in that system remap the slices and partitions on the first disk to match those on your second disk. You should now be able to create the mirror plexes here and append them to the vinum volumes already created. Apart from filling in the detail using information in the handbook and man pages you should now be there!

samba PDC vs IBM T21 keyboard
Hello, I've got a strange (to me at least) problem here. I'm running samba (version: samba-2.2.8a) as a PDC on a network. I've just joined an IBM T21 WinXP Pro laptop to the domain, which went through okay, except for one unexpected factor: The T21's keymapping appears to be all crazy. By that, I'd refer you to keys U, I, O, P, J, K, L, : and M. All of these keys have alternate chars printed on them - for instance the "P" has "*" and "O" has a "6", and so on. Whenever a user logs onto the domain, these "secondary" chars appear to be the ones in use, and what you'd expect for "P" actually gets output as the "*" char. This happens regardless of the user that logs in, as long as its on the network, then those other chars appear to take precedence. This behaviour appears in all applications as well, from M$ Word to attempts at typing a url into the address bar in IE. If I didn't know any better, I'd almost want to suggest that the key mapping appears to be that of a regular PS/2 keyboard! Has anyone noticed anything like this? If there's any more info I can provide, I'm willing to. Thanks for the time.

Email admims look at the last sender IP address in the headers, which is the only valid address, all others are usually forged. What I am referring to is the unable to deliver email that qmail sends to hotmail has an unknown user. If it is his qmail server, then someone is probably relaying through him. He can determine this through his logs. If someone is just using one of his email addresses, and he is not a relay, then he is getting Joe-Jobbed.. You have not determined this yet. Hotmail then bounces the mail back to my brother's server as an undeliverable, and since it is then a double bounce, it lands in my brother's inbox (mailer-daemon goes to him). Today, he has received over 6000 bounced msgs. Okay, if your question is only - how do I stop double bounces from getting into my system, then here is the answer. 1. Change the /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto file to read only one line saying "obvilion" (without the quotes) 2. Set up an alias in the /var/qmail/alias dir, and make a file called .qmail-obvilion 3. Edit the file and put in a "#" (no quotes) on one line by itself. Now, all double bounces with be directed to nowhere, and dissappear. Yes, but you have to provide more info rather than speculate on what you are having a problem with. Are you an open relay? Check your logs? If so, something is not configured properly. If you are just getting bounces from your own domain, and someone is forging your domain as the sender or return address in their spam, that is called a Joe-Job. In the /var/qmail/control, only his domains are listed. That would be /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file. If he does not have that file, he is an open relay and sitting duck. In tcp.rules, only localhost can relay email. Normal clients can only send mail with SMTP-ATUH. There is no tcp.rules file in qmail. The local file is called /var/qmail/control/locals, and local host and his domain(s) should be listed there, but not virtual domains. As above, if he does not check his logs, and read his headers, he has no way of knowing if he is relaying, or suffering from a Joe-Job. There are other ways spammers try to get in, and if he is running a web server, have him also check to make sure he is not running formmail.cgi or pl -- Gary ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Vinum for root.
Hi, I'm looking to setup my new FreeBSD 5.1 server with a mirrored vinum volume. I've read through the necessary handbook entries but it doesn't seem to answer my question: I'm wanting to do this at install time -- is this possible? The ``Using Vinum for the Root Filesystem'' chapter doesn't seem to cover this (as far as I can see). If it is possible, some hints would be greatly appreciated. I'm booting from a mini ISO and the console is pretty limited (I couldn't kldload vinum). Is this right?

The only thing that I can think is that the Nvidia card is using a conflicting IRQ or some other system setting that your modem also requires. I can't provide any more guesses than that but it might give you something to investigate. Secondly, have you compiled XFree86 and the Nvidia driver without any optimizations, etc.?

One last thought -- have you tried using the FreeBSD agp module instead of the Nvidia one, etc. There are all sorts of combinations that might just help you out. I can fully sympathise too.

Disk problem at install (Signal 11).
Hi, I've just come to install FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on a new machine. It's got four disks in it, but right now I'm only working with one (ad0), which is a 30GB disk that's been lying about for a bit.

Problems Compiling Apache with Mod_Perl and Mod_SSL
Heya Folks; System Specs: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE OpenSSL 0.9.7a (OS Installed) Apache 1.3.27 Mod_Perl 1.28 Mod_SSL 1.3.28 / 2.8.15 Perl 5.8.0 (ports/lang/perl58 installed) (use.perl port) I have tried many, many ways to get mod_ssl and mod_perl to compile on many servers, all with near same configurations, with absolutely no luck. All I can ever to get to compile is either just mod_ssl, just mod_perl, and with same configurtation options, I can get it to say and show and compile SSL and modperl, but "httpd -l" shows no mod_perl ? only mod_ssl, or vice versa! Altho, when the above happens, apache's configure shows it adding both SSL and ModPerl uses Config/End Config/Start, normal stuff, and it even goes thro the directories for the compile and has no errors. I have read atleast 100 if not more pages on google, news groups and else, and have tried all these steps and config uration options that people have suggested with no such luck! So What I am asking of you folks is if any one has any ideas or if anyone has this same configuration, but has made it work please reply and let me know! ;). Thanks a million! - Jason L.

Newbie needs advice for software raid
I'm considering buying a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC with 3 SCSI drives (no hardware raid) for use as a file, print, database, email/groupware and intranet server. I'm also considering whether to use Linux or FreeBSD - I have some experience with both but have never used software raid on either. I feel that FreeBSD would be a more stable and secure OS for a server. From my research so far, it seems that I can use Vinum to set up software RAID 5, but that the root partition can not be RAID 5 and that there are other complexities with using Vinum on the root partition. I would welcome suggestions for how to set up the disk partitions and Vinum for this type of server. Also, should I be looking at FreeBSD 5.1 or would 4.8 be a safer bet at this stage?

You're compiling it wrong. A simple "cc program.c" builds for me.
Note, however, that h_addr_list isn't a set of strings; it's a set of
actual addresses, in network byte order. You'll need to iterate
through those bytes, printing each one separately (the h_length field
tells you how long they are).

Re: TCP/IP: Operation Timed Out
Thank you for your help but after looking in to the problem, i realized it is not the ident protocol. This could be a problem due to timeouts with the ident protocol, also known as auth, which uses port 113. Most mailservers will try and do an ident check on you when you connect to them. If your firewall just drops the incoming connection, then the server at the other end will just have to wait out the timeout period. While ident is meant to be a security measure, it's practically worthless as it's too easy to lie to, and if you don't lie, then it's a leak of what should be private information. I tried connecting the "un-connectable" servers via Windows and FreeBSD using telnet at home and it works, and i am not running any sort of ident server. Connecting to the servers where the mail server lives gives me the "operation timed out" message under my MTA (not sendmail for note) as well as Telnet, even after flushing all firewall rules. So i suspect my problem lies elsewhere. Thank you for your concern though. -Rian Hunter > I manage a general mail server for my organization and recently i have been > receiving complaints that not all their messages are being sent.

What command are you using to compile this? That error typically
means you're trying to link C++ code using the C compiler, which will
not work (you need to link it with the C++ compiler), but your example
doesn't support this.

This could be a problem due to timeouts with the ident protocol, also
known as auth, which uses port 113. Most mailservers will try and do
an ident check on you when you connect to them. If your firewall just
drops the incoming connection, then the server at the other end will
just have to wait out the timeout period. While ident is meant to be
a security measure, it's practically worthless as it's too easy to lie
to, and if you don't lie, then it's a leak of what should be private
information.
To prevent your sendmail server making ident requests, include:
define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl
in your /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc file.
If you aren't going to run an ident server, then you should reject
ident protocol packets at your firewall. With ipfw(8), that's
something like:
add 1234 reset tcp from any to ${oip} 113 setup in recv ${oif}
Nb. 'reset' which will return an ICMP port unreachable message, rather
than just dropping the packet.
If you do decide to run an ident server, then you should add
'inetd_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf and edit /etc/inetd.conf to
enable one of the auth variants -- there's not much reason to run
anything other than the ident server built into inetd. If you're
behind a NAT gateway, then you can run the ident server on the NAT
gateway, but you'll have to run one of the variants that refuses to
return any information.

Matthew

TCP/IP: Operation Timed Out
Hello All! I manage a general mail server for my organization and recently i have been receiving complaints that not all their messages are being sent. A quick check to the maillog and i noticed that many of the mail servers of the receivers are getting "Operation timed out" responses. I manually checked connecting to these servers using telnet to see if it was just my mta, but to my surprise telnet was unable to connect as well! At home i tried connecting to these servers via telnet on port 25 as well, and it worked with ease. Then immediatly I ssh'ed to our remote mail server and telnet'ed to these "operation timed out" mail servers on port 25 and still same thing. Now this shocked me, how could i be easily connecting to the mail servers from home, and from the location of our mail server, not be able to. It connects to other mail servers there are just a few that do not work including: smtp1.dadeschools.net mail1.dadeschools.net oitmail.dade.k12.fl.us sbabmail.dade.k12.fl.us 7841exch2.tecmiami.com It's not a DNS problem as the dns resolves the same ip address from home and where the server resides. I'm not sure if it is solely our mail server or it is all the computers on our LAN that are unable to connect, i willl have to examine this when i get there sometime this week. The mail server is connected directly to the internet and is assigned a public ip address (it is not behind a router filewall or is not forwarded packets through NAT). The host address of our mail server is mail.e-equality.org. Does anyone know the nature of this problem or how to solve it? Could it be faulty design of the network route from our mail server to theirs? Or maybe our TTL settings on the packets are too small. -Rian Hunter _ Get 10MB of e-mail storage!

If your modem is external, maybe you have com1 & com2 disabled in the PC bio's. If PCI modem them and you are not using com1,2 ports then you should disable there bio's so modem can use them. One other thing FBSD does not work with winmodems, those cheap modems manufactured just for MS/Windows market. You can use 'TIP' console command to talk directly to modem.

Bad partition table?
Hi, I'm having a problem with my old FreeBSD partition. I had the harddrive in a working system that i changed the motherboard in. It was unstable at first, causing the system to lock up a couple times. I finally got the problems worked out and installed 5.1 on a new drive.

You really don't want to do it that way. You probably want to wrap your

use Time::HiRes qw( sleep );

Once user ppp makes the connection and the line speed is set, any self adjustment to the line speed made by the modem is not captured by user ppp. Furthermore I have not seen any (modem terminal servers) that captures and report on this ether. Some pci modem mfg have added an I-reg to capture the max and mim line speed during an modem session which can be accessed using Hayes 'AT' commands after the online modem session has completed.

I believe that the /etc/fstab dumpflag tells it to not back up files in any dump level above the number (or the number and above, I don't remember for sure), essentially 1 is the number used. Level '0' dumps always back up all files unless you use some extra dump flags. As for a scheme, it really depends on how big each file system is compared to the size of your backup media and how much your files change on a daily or weekly, etc basis in each filesystem (dumps are always by filesystem). If you have large filesystems - much larger than your media size, - takes multiple tapes on a full dump and your files in the filesystem change a lot frequently - level 1 dump may use more than 1 tape after two days, then you will probably want to implement some scheme like the basic Sn Mn Ts Wd Th Fr St 6 0 1 2 3 4 5 or possibly the modified tower of Hanoi scheme you mention below and that is described in an example in the man page. If your filesystem is not so huge or particularly if only a few files are likely to change regularly - so a weeks work of changed files fit on one tape, then something like Sn Mn Ts Wd Th Fr St 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 Would be the easiest. If your filesystems will fit on one tape, just do a fulldump (level 0) each time. jerry > > In the same vein, does anyone know the > `modified tower of Hanoi' algorithm the man page > recommends? > >Mark Terribile ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can certainly re-install FreeBSD on top of your previous installation, and you can tell sysinstall not to wipe out any previous contents of a partition. You just need to be careful in the 'disklabel' screen to toggle the flag that says "don't newfs this partition". Disklabel will pick up the previous partition layout of the drive, although you will have to fill in the mount points by hand. If you need to take space from one partition to enlarge another, you can, so long as you don't change the length or position of any partitions you want to preserve. Chances are you will want to do that sort of thing, as the root partition in recent 4.x-STABLE needs more like 128Mb nowadays, when at one point you used to be able to get away with 32Mb. If the stuff you want to preserve is on a separate drive, that makes avoiding scribbling all over it even easier: you just tell sysinstall that you only want to install on the other drive. Once you've re-installed you'll need to rebuild all of the customizations and re-install any ports you had previously, merge the password and group files with the updated default versions, re-add the partitions from your 2nd drive back into /etc/fstab and so forth. It's not something that you can just grind through mechanically: you will have to think about precisely what you're trying to achieve and know the consequences of the commands you run. In short, the answer is "Yes, it is possible, but you need to be careful to avoid mistakes".

Re: Q's on dump(8) and restore(8)

Unfortunately, the man pages > don't seem to completely describe the interaction > between the numerical dump flag in /etc/fstab and > the dump level. Can anyone elucidate? Dump levels are a flexible way of implementing incremental backups. A level 0 dump will always back up everything[*]. Then a level 1 dump backs up all of the files that have been modified since the last level 0 dump, and a level 2 dump would backup every file that had been modified since the previous lower level (level 1 or level 0) dump, and so on, all the way down to a level 9 dump. Let's look at some common dump schemes. I'll base these around a weekly cycle, using a separate tape for each day of the week: generally what you'ld do is have several sets of these weekly tapes that you cycle through, so you aren't completely lost if one of those sets of tapes should be found to be substandard. People with more money (or backup media) than is good for them can just run a full backup every day: Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 0000000 This maximizes the amount of data to back up each day, but also minimizes the amount of effort required to restore the system to the state at any particular date and it gives you minimum exposure should one of your tapes fail. The alternate extreme is: 1234567 So that except for Sunday, each day all you do is backup what changed since the previous day. It's assumed that your level 0 dump corresponds to the state of the system immediately after installation, and you may or may not actually perform a level 0 dump at that time. Prudence dictates that you should certainly run an occasional level 0 dump to help keep the size of your level 1 tape sets down and just on general principles. This is parsimonious with the tapes, but if you need to restore the system to the state on Saturday, you need *all* of your weeks tapes. And if the Monday tape breaks, then the following Tuesday to Saturdays' tapes are pretty much useless. Probably the most popular scheme is: 1333333 So each day you back up everything that changed since the previous level 1 backup. (Or you could do a level 0 instead ot the level 1 each week for extra security). That means that the Friday or Saturday tapes get a lot more use than the Monday tape. However all you need to restore the system is the level 1 and the appropriate level 3 tape. > In the same vein, does anyone know the > `modified tower of Hanoi' algorithm the man page > recommends? If you don't know what "Towers of Hanoi" is, fire up your nearest copy of emacs and run: M-x hanoi or M-x hanoi-unix although that second one takes quite some time to run to completion. The 'modified Towers of Hanoi" backup sequence is based on that game. This is an optimised sequence that achieves a balance between the different extremes shown above. A weekly system would look like: 1325476 although the man page shows how to extend that for a few extra days. This results in approximately the same amount of data being saved on each daily tape, but doesn't require that all tapes are needed to do the Friday backup and should one of the daily tapes fail (other than a level 1 tape), you can still restore to the state only one day away. Thus: Tapes needed Sun: 1 Mon: 1, 3 Tue: 1, 2 Wed: 1, 3, 5 Thu: 1, 2, 4 Fri: 1, 3, 5, 7 Sat: 1, 2, 4, 6 By the way, although I've shown all of these cycles based on a week starting on Sunday, I can tell you from practical experience that the full level one backup is most likely to need attention, so it's often a good idea to shift the cycle round so that the big weekly backup happens on a week day. Cheers, Matthew [*] Except when you use the '-h 0' flags to dump(8), which tells dump(8) to honour the 'nodump' file flag even at level 0. By default the 'nodump' flag is only honoured at level 1 or higher. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
