I wrote a piece on this in this very forum a while ago -- see http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-questions_2002/msg34253.html which was mostly about firewalling, but explains what happens in terms of what tcp connections are made in which directions depending on whether you're using active or passive mode. One problem that will bite you happens with passive mode FTP -- which is the most popular variant, as used by default by all web browsers, for instance. This involves the client opening a the ftp data channel connection to an arbitrary high-numbered port on the server. If the ftp server is behind a NAT gateway that's going to cause problems, as the NAT gateway will just see an incoming request to open a connection on a high-numbered port, so you'll have to tell the gateway to proxy all of those connections back to the FTP server. It's a bit of a pain to set up, and opens up far too much of your port range to potential nastyness but it should work. Where it can get really frustrating is using active mode FTP: here it's the server that opens the data connection from port 20 on the server side out to an arbitrary port on the client side. As you can imagine this give the administrators of the client machine the hebegeebies. Even worse, as you go out through a NAT gateway, it is quite likely that the NAT gateway will rewrite the packets so they appear to come from an arbitrary port number on the gateway. That means you'ld have to accept a connection from an arbitrary high-numbered port to an arbitrary high-numbered port. At which point your only rational response is to run away, screaming. I really must tidy that message up and put it on the web somewhere.

Hmmm, when I compile the simplest possible C file:

Not easily. ipfw(8) has a 'uid' option in it's packet matching rules, which you might be able you use to select the traffic from one user, and then push that (or logging information about that traffic) into some sort of analysis program. But that's going to take a mite of programming to get anything working. Most ISPs who bill on the amount of network traffic will arrange for each of their user accounts to use a separate IP number: jail(8) can be very handy for doing that.

Re: kernel compile Q - How to get the speaker to work?
thanks for the answer, but when I had Windows installed, the speaker did work, I mean I was able to hear music, in addition to the beeps. I've never heard of the case speaker making anything but beeps. Either yours is quite unique or you guys are talking about different speakers. I think you'll need to add support for the sound card that the speaker is connected to. Have a look at the case speaker. I can't see it being connected to a sound card but verify that. If it (or another case speaker) is in fact connected to sound card, add that device to the kernel.

It is perfectly possible to play music on the case speaker, and this does not require any sound card. The sound tends to sound like crap though. Music (and other sounds) on the built-in speaker was in fact the standard way of getting music in PC-games back in the Bad Old Days (early and mid-eighties) when sound cards were a rarity. Add the line 'pseudo-device speaker' to your kernel config file to get some limited support for playing music (see the man-pages for spkr(4) and spkrtest(8) for more info on this method.) It is also possible to use the case-speaker as a more generic audio-output device. To try this add the line 'device pca0 at isa? port IO_TIMER1' to your kernel config file, and then use /dev/pcaudio as the output device. Be aware that this is poorly documented and supported, and I think it might even have been removed entirely from 5.x -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You still didn't post the whole of top(1) output.
FWIW splay has a -2 switch that permits it to generate half that
quality output using half that processor cycles (not sure about
mpg123). Unless the people out there are melomaniacs, that may be
sufficient.
P.S. It *seems* possible to use a little hack to renice the mp3 player
after it has loaded the new song. That is, every time a new song is
being played, launch both the player and a separate shell process
which sleep(1)s for a second, and then rtprio's the player. For one
song, it will *probably* look like this:
-begin playsong.sh
#!/bin/sh
mpg123 $1&
MPG123_PID=$!
(sleep 1; sudo rtprio 3 -${MPG123_PID})&
wait
-end playsong.sh
assuming you have the appropriate line in your sudoers file (the '-'
before the ${MPG123_PID} is not a typo).

How can I rebuild prots databases?
I'n updating a bunch of older (around 4.2) machines. On ne of them I seem to have managed to toatly muck up the ports dayabases :0( I'm getting things like this when I run portupgrade: ! (pgaccess-0.98.6)(missing origin) ! (acroread-3.02) (missing origin) ! (netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07)(missing origin) I think the best plan is to completly rebuild from scratch the databases that contain available ports, and the ports that are installed on this machine. I've tried various combinations of pkgdb -F and pkgd -Uu. to no avail. Can I just remove all of these databases, and rebuiold them from scratch?

Re: one simple question
thank you very much for the reply
yes and I am using gcc 3.2.2
if you "gdb" the executable and "disassemble main"
you will see the line like that
but if you use gcc -S something.s something.c
it won't appear in the assembly code
and I google around, I think it does the alignment for optimization
purpose, in that case the memory access will be faster according to the

growfs, bsdlabel or fdisk issue
On my laptop I have dual-boot with Windows XP, but as I allmost never boot it in Windows, and since my /usr-partition is running out of space, I decided to shrink the FAT-partition that I've been sharing between to two oses. So I used FreeBSD's fdisk to remove the existing FAT-partition, and to extend the FreeBSD-slice. I then used bsdlabel to change the disk's label to reflect the new size of the slice. I changed the c-partition to include the entire slice, and the f-partition (which was the last partition of the slice, directly followed by the former FAT-partition) was extended to the end of the slice. So far all seems ok. So I boot in single user and tries to run growfs. But all growfs gives me is: growfs: rdfs: read error -1940904252 Input/output error After lots of trying, I decided to instead of resizing /usr, to just add a new g-partition, and split /usr in /usr and /home, where the latter could live on the new partition. But bsdlabel won't let me reduce the size of the f-partition to add a new g-partition. According to the manual page og bsdlabel: The kernel device drivers will not allow the size of a disk partition to be decreased or the offset of a partition to be changed while it is open. But even if I'm in single user mode, with /usr not mounted, I still can't get this to work. And bsdlabel keeps giving me the following error (which by the way has a misspelled 'suppressed'): bsdlabel: write to disk label supressed - label was as follows: Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to keep my data intact while still getting more diskspace for my FreeBSD installation.

Unable to Install FreeBSD 5.2.1
This is a question for anyone running 5.2.1.. I currently have 5.1 running on a "Test server", I decieded to try ver 5.2.1. However after I did the Make Buildworld Make Buildkernel Make installkernel reboot commands, the machine would no longer boot up to a login prompt. It would get as far as Setting Freqency to 28xxhz at 800mhz Time ticks every 10.00 msecond and the machine would just hang. No keyboard controll nothing. So I D/L the 5.2.1 ISO, and booted from Disc1 cd, and the same thing happens at the same point. Mind you this machine has been running 5.1 Just fine.

Re: 1 processor vs. 2
Danny Pansters wrote: [ ... ] Physical disks are your unit of failure or of resilliance if you like. Absolutely--- understanding RAID properly requires understanding the division of data onto the physical disks. This is an important concept. That's why you need 5+ drives for RAID5 to be any real fun. A three-disk RAID-5 array is a devolved case, but it will function usefully. I don't disagree: RAID-5 is best suited for 5 to 7 disks, but is okay with 4. You want your data to be present at least twice on different physical drives. You want the same for your parity info. You're actually describing RAID-1 or RAID-51 here. The mere fact that you stripe everything out with RAID5 doesn't change your physical unit which is one disk. Resilliance means: what happens if a random drive fails. RAID5 on 3 disks defeats the purpose of RAID5 IMHO. RAID-5 means "stripe set with rotating parity", and it is the usage of parity information that provides redundancy (what you call resilliance). A 3-disk RAID-5 array will still function without data loss even if any of the physical disks fails. RAID-5 will not survive a two-disk failure, whereas some RAID-1 or RAID-10 arrays can survive loss of multiple disks. (As might RAID-51...) Theoretically the more drives, the better RAID5 gets, so that might say something about Veritas if they warned against using more than 7 drives. Perhaps grog can be the final referee here, not my turf ;-) The parity calculations for RAID-5 are a lot of work and that work scales linearly with the number of drives in the array. The longer you make the array, the worse the performance becomes for small writes in particular. Very long RAID-arrays also tend to encounter bottlenecks with the system bus or the transport bus rather than being bottlenecked by the drives themselves. I just kinda fell back into the developed thread, hope you don't mind me adding a general remark: One doesn't do RAID to increase performance. Period. Sorry, but wrong. The only purpose of pure RAID-0 is to increase performance by distributing I/O between more than one device. Modes using RAID-1 mirroring will also show a significant improvement to read performance. There are three factors involved in deciding how to utilize RAID: reliability, performance, and cost. One can choose to prioritize one or two of these factors, at the expense of the third; which factors are chosen determine which RAID configuration is appropriate. RAID-5 does not increase performance because the priorities are improving reliability (ie, gaining fault-tolerance) and minimizing cost (ie, getting [n-1] available storage from n drives, rather than [n/2] as per mirroring). -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: RAID1 vs RAID5 [ was Re: 1 processor vs. 2]
Danny Pansters wrote: So statistically and theoreticaly RAID1 compares to no RAID at all as 2x read speed, 1x write speed (it needs to be written twice but through two heads on two drives seperately and assume they react and move at the same speed). That's about right, but you should be aware of the fact that you are only considering a single transaction. When you think about a stream of I/O requests, either round-robin or geometric division of read access can perform better depending on whether you are moving lots or data (few big requests) or doing many small reads and being bound by seek times. Because the heads may be in different places do to distribution of reads, the heads don't end up writing data out at the exact same time; allowing write to be asyncronous rather than requiring both drives to complete a write operation can speed things up, particularly if geometric distribution of reads is being used. Take a RAID5 with 5 drives that would in terms of data resiliance compare with a RAID1 of 3 drives at best (right?). No. A three-disk RAID-1 arry can retain data even if two drives fail. The RAID-5 array will lose data if two drives fail. In more complicated cases (RAID-10 and RAID-50), RAID-1 has significantly greater reliability than RAID-5. Also, RAID-5 performance degrades horribly if a drive is down, whereas RAID-1 does fine... Change the above numbers for a RAID1 to 3 drives and you have a 3x read and a 1x write speed. With the hypothetical RAID5 as above we have 3x read and 1x write speed for data plus 2x read and 1x write for parity info which will usually be smaller in size. Let's assume they're of comparative sizes, to make things simple, then we have 5/2x reads and 1x writes to compare. For your analysis to be valid, you need to consider the size of I/O requests and the stripe or interleave size of the RAID arrays. For example: A five-disk RAID-5 array has to read 4 sectors and write five sectors if you change one byte. 9 I/O ops compared with either 2 or 3, depending on whether one has a two-disk or three-disk RAID-1 mirror. In other words, RAID-1 small writes are often a factor of four times faster than RAID-5 writes for data much smaller than stripe size. Likewise, your analysis of RAID-5 read performance neglects to consider the fact that data is only available on one drive, whereas will be available on two (or more) drives for RAID-1. For small reads, seek performance is critical and RAID-1 performance is close to n times that of a bare drive, where n is number of drives in array, and can sometimes even be slightly higher than n. RAID-5 performance can at best be (n - 1) and is usually closer half that because the I/O distribution potential of mirroring means you can't choose to utilize a drive that's free. Perhaps a better way of putting it is that RAID-1 can decrease response latency by handling reads in parallel, whereas a RAID-5 array cannot because a particular set of data is only available from one place. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Reload of Mysql-server 4.0 on 5.2.1
Hi, Once again, my question, who should I bugger with this question? I'm having quite a strange problem with mysql on 5.2.1 (releng_5_2) mysql-server (40, latest cvs port) keeps on reloading when snort is connecting. When I put on logging, no query reached the engine before the reload. Well, I put on tcpdump, and guess what I find. only 7 packets. Yes, 3 way handshake en 4 way teardown. No data passes, and the server is the one starting the teardown. So I rebuilded mysql with debug, as per the mysql instructions and guess what? problem no longer occurs. According to the mysql handbook "If mysqld stops crashing when you compile it with --with-debug, you have probably found a compiler bug or a timing bug within MySQL" Any guess how to tackle this? Ofcourse running with a debuging mysql is not a good way forward.

Recently I bought a few machines from a local vendor and they are an Intel shop. These machines have faster CPUs that most of my other AMD machines yet felt less responsive with FreeBSD. I think that the entire subsystem should be taken into consideration: chipset, ECC memory, memory speed, disk subsystem, etc.. Just so you get a feeling for what I am talking about... Most of my AMD machines FreeBSD/Windows were 500Mhz to 1Ghz. The two Intel I bought for 2 clients were 2+Ghz Intel Pentium 4. Although I have not done custom kernels for those machines I find it interesting that they would "Feel" slower than machines that are half as fast. I can only guess that something in the subsystems of these new machines is slower than in the AMD machines. Given your environment I think 2+ CPUs with ECC and a good disk subsystem would be good. Raid 1+0 makes a huge difference in performance (at least in my testing). Perhaps you could do your DB 1+0 and everything else Raid 5 (which is what I think you have). Hope things work out with this new machine.. who knows I may end up having a VM in it someday. :-) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

SPARC-64 & JDK 1.3 or better
So, I finally decided that since I'm not really a Solaris admin, I'd install FreeBSD SPARC64 on my Sun Enterprise 420R that's been collecting dust lately. It's got a couple CPUs and a lot of ram, so it seems like I should be doing something with it. I write and deploy Java web applications. I've never used FreeBSD and saw that the only disc images for SPARC64 started at 5.2.x ... I realize that the current "production" quality release is 4.9, but it looks like that's a no-go for SPARC. I burned the 5.2.1 CDs for the hell of it and then started looking around what to do for a decent JDK... and that's when the confusion began. I'd prefer to run JDK 1.4 ... Is the best advice to wait around until something becomes more solid, or is there something out there that I should be looking at? Is using the Linux compatibility the way to go and just get the JDK from Sun directly? Doesn't this require I use some patches or something? Just a little overwhelmed and wondering what the best approach would be.

I may be confused as to what speaker you are talking about. My assumption was that you were referring to the standard PC speaker (sometimes called the console speaker), and not a speaker attached to an audio card. For most laptops, these two speakers are the same. For most desktop systems, the "internal" speaker is mounted to the case via a lead from the motherboard. If you are indeed referring to the same internal speaker that I am referring to, then you can indeed play music through it. But the audio quality will be extremely poor. But I don't know how to do it with FreeBSD. I suspect you'll have to write your own driver. On the other hand, if you're talking about getting you audio card with attached speaker to work, that is a different story. I can't help you there, but many people can, provided that you first let them know what sound card you have, or if it's integrated onto the motherboard, what motherboard or computer model you have.

However, there's the rub: it only works on i386 architecture - same deal I think for any of the available JDKs, except linux-blackdown-jdk13: % cd /usr/ports/java % grep ONLY_FOR_ARCH *jdk*/Makefile diablo-jdk13/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 jdk11/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 jdk12/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 jdk13/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 jdk14/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 linux-blackdown-jdk12/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 linux-blackdown-jdk13/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= arm i386 ppc sparc linux-blackdown-jdk14/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 linux-ibm-jdk13/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386 linux-ibm-jdk14/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386 linux-sun-jdk12/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386 linux-sun-jdk13/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386 linux-sun-jdk14/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386 linux-sun-jdk15/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386 Quite honestly, and much as it pains me to say it, if you want to use your E420R to do Java stuff, and especially if you need jdk 1.4.2 or above, then you'll be much better off putting Solaris on it. Eventually the Java support will be extended to all platforms, but you could be waiting quite some time for it. Try asking on the freebsd-java@ list about support for other architectures than IA32.

You need to setup your machine to capture the appropriate data after the panic. There's general information about how to do that in a series of articles here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/03/21/Big_Scary_Daemons.html http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/04/04/Big_Scary_Daemons.html However, you're seeing panics in the boot sequence: if that's actually early on during booting, the system won't have initialised the disks systems, so it can't record a crashdump. Your best recourse in this situation is to hook up a null-modem cable to the serial port, set the machine up to use the serial port as the console: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced.html Use tip(1) or some other terminal emulator on the other end of the connection, and capture the console output as the machine boots. If you are inordinately keen, you could try and setup a remote kernel debugging session: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-online-gdb.html but unless you're pretty much up-to-speed with kernel development, you're probably not going to be able to extract much useful information that way.

Regarding Sparc64 install
Dear list, I recently got two SUN Fire V100 servers that I thought would make good webservers. I read some hardware compability on FreeBSD website, since I've not set up Sparc before. The FreeBSD website stated that Sun Fire V100 is supported. Guess I got a surprise when I booted the installer and found that neither CDROM or NIC was actually found. Anyone got any suggestions to that? I read some posts suggesting that it was because of several drives or error in nic, but since my Sun Fire V100 got not extra PCI nor got extra drives except CDROM and Harddrive I really didn't think that would be the problem. When just for fun trying OpenBSD both CDrom and Nic booted like a charm. Isn't OpenBSD and FreeBSD Sparc64 project very similar when including hardware or am I totally behind in my beliefs about that?

Can someone comment on this? No -- you understand incorrectly. Large directories have not been a problem since UFS_DIRHASH went into the tree, which was, oh, two and a half years ago: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=18975+0+archive/2001/freebsd-fs/20010624.freebsd-fs Not that UFS did badly before that: 1000 entries in one directory probably wouldn't have been problematic. 10,000 could have been a different matter. 100,000 would have been difficult to deal with. UFS_DIRHASH is enabled in the GENERIC kernel, and has been since 2001: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.diff?r1=1.246.2.36&r2=1.246.2.37&only_with_tag=RELENG_4 Cheers, Matthew -- 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

Can someone comment on this? I see no issues on my systems, either 4.x or 5.x, with up to 10k files in a directory.

Error Msg
I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: MON FEB 23 29:45:55 GMT 2004 I just recently posted about a problem I was having logging into my computer. I eventually was able to log in. I deleted the existing user and subsequently recreated the user. I also had to delete the group as well to complete the operation. However, although I can access my system, the following error message appears when I do an su command. This is the error message: Mar 4 15:52:42 BudMan su: _secure_path: /usr/home/ges/.login_conf is not owed by root The following error message likes to pop up at various times also: Mar 4 15:55:01 BudMan cron[541]: _secure_path: /usr/home/ges/.login_conf is not owned by root The time and date obviously change upon each new occurrence of the message, as well as the number following 'cron'. I have read the man on "_secure_path" but I have no idea what I am supposed to do to correct this problem. Even more mysterious is that this problem and several others only surfaced after installing KDE 3.2. I welcome any assistance someone can afford me, Thanks!

Followup on KDE 3.2 and 4-STABLE
Well I finally have KDE3.2 on my system, however to get it there required an install of 4.9. The backstory: I was running 4.8 + KDE3.1, wanted to upgrade to KDE3.2. No amount of portupgrading/rebuilding/package fetching seemed to get me past KDE 3.1. By the time I was done I had to do a pkg_delete -a and re-install KDE 3.1 just to get to a stable system again. I finally gave up, and did a clean install of 4.9 from CD with no packages installed. Next I install the cvsup package and cvsup'd the ports tree. Doing that and then make/installing portupgrade gets you ruby 1.8 and the latest port upgrade. Then I could go into /usr/ports/x11/kde3 and do a make; make install. 30 hrs later my system has all of KDE 3.2 installed. I expect I'll get my subscription copy of 4.10 in the mail with KDE 3.2 today (it would be poetic justice) On the compilation front. It is impossible to get a clean link with the gcc 2.95 toolchain. You'll get warnings about unsafe function calls. This does not happen with the gcc 3.3 toolchain as far as I can tell. The "GLX" error that is printed when a KDE application is run relates to a lack of OpenGL support on the X Server. It shouldn't complain unless the application requires OpenGL. --Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Load balancing in Freebsd

Re: ASUS A7N8X LAN Dual LAN Support
I have an ASUS A7N8X-E, which boasts dual LAN ports. As far as I can deduce, only one of the ethernet ports has a functioning driver (sk), while the other does not. Is there some configuration setting in rc.conf or elsewhere that I've failed to enable, or is this a known issue that has yet to be resolved?

Jail setup
I need to set up a new mail server at a different building, so I thought I would put sendmail and its services (virus scanning etc.) in a jail to be a bit more secure. I thought that before I do this for real I would try setting up a jail on a test server and see if I can ssh to it and generally get things to work. I can't. Here's what I have set up so far. I found a couple how-tos and I am following them; one is an ONLamp article (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/09/04/jails.html), and the other is the jails section of the AbsoluteBSD book. I am running 5.1. On the server I set up a /usr/jail directory to put the jail into. Then I ran the following from /usr/src/: # make world DESTDIR=/usr/jail # cd etc # make distribution DESTDIR=/usr/jail # cd /usr/jail/dev # sh MAKEDEV jail This is where I had my first problem, MAKEDEV doesn't exist. At first I was a bit concerned about this, then I remembered that in 5.0 and above MAKEDEV isn't necessary, it is handled by the kernel (If that isn't right someone please tell me). I didn't worry about this. Next I ran: # cd ../ # ln -sf /dev/null kernel Then I started my jail: #jail /usr/jail jail.myhost.com 10.0.0.203 /bin/sh Things seem to be fine. I can see the jailed environment and everything looks fine. I log out and then try to set up the last configuations so I can ssh in and run sendmail. In the non-jail /etc/rc.conf I added the following lines: ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="10.0.0.203 netmask 255.255.255.0" sendmail_enable="NONE" inetd_flags="-wW -a 10.0.0.202" I also added ListenAddress 10.0.0.202 to /etc/ssh/sshd_config. In the jail's /etc/rc.conf (i.e. /usr/jail/etc/rc.conf) I added: portmap_enable="NO" ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.0.203 netmask 255.255.255.0" sendmail_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" and added ListenAddress 10.0.0.203 to /usr/jail/etc/ssh/sshd_config I then rebooted to shut all services down. When the system was back up and running I ran the commands to mount and start the jail: # mount -t procfs proc /usr/jail/proc # jail /usr/jail jail.myhost.com 10.0.0.203 /bin/sh /etc/rc Things seem to "boot" fine until it gets to sendmail; it seems to hang there (sshd starts fine though). Eventually sendmail times out and I get a prompt. I figure my jail is running (minus sendmail which I don't care about at the moment), and a ps -ax|grep J shows a few jailed processes running including sshd. From another system I try: % ssh 10.0.0.203 and I get nothing. I can ping 10.0.0.203 just fine (as well as 10.0.0.202). A sockstat -4 shows: root sshd 3041 3 tcp4 10.0.0.203:22 *:* root syslogd2908 4 udp4 10.0.0.203:514*:* root sshd 2650 3 tcp4 10.0.0.202:22 *:* so it seems like sshd is listening on 10.0.0.202 and 203. I can ssh to 202 without problem, I just can't get into the jail. Can anybody tell me where I screwed up, or other things to look for. Any help would be appreciated.
