Re: Are there step-by-step VMWare instructions? (giving up)
I give up on trying to get VMWare 3.2 to work on either FreeBSD 4.x or 5.x. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. After 5 full days of trial and error on 3 machines, I think I can say it needs to be looked at by a non-newby. The only time I got it to run was with a 5.2-Release installation with networking disabled (following Christian's docs). Every other configuration resulted in losing access to the hard-drive as soon as I hit the VM's "Power On" button. I might try again if there is a known working solution, but for now I have to do a 6-week project on native Winblows. I learned a ton, and wouldn't use any other OS on a server. I hope to run it on my desktop soon. thx. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Google:
FreeBSD NDIS
You'll get some good returns.
Here are the two best 'HowTo's' I've found:
http://tweakbsd.homeunix.org/guides/windoof-ndis-drivers.php

the sites referenced above)

===
Download and build NDIS wrapper for Windows wLAN drivers

NOTE: It appears that if you later rebuild your kernel...
you must _rebuild_ the above as well. Maybe just re-install?

The gnome-vfs from the tinderbox is the latest. Apparantely gnome control center from the tinderbox does not come with the capplet for manually setting mimes. The mimes in /usr/X11R6/share.. appear to be allright, i tried copying them in the $HOME/.gnome/mime-info/ dir but without effect. So not only that all mimes are broken, but I also can't add them manually.

RE: Quickie... Hopefully!
Kevin, This is exactly what is happening.. I have found though that if I give the interface two Ips with ifconfig and set the default route to our newest router (Cisco 7204) somehow I am able to do what I am wanting. (I guess the Cisco is lots smarter than our Tiara..) I am aware that having two numbered networks on one physical lan is not good practice, but this is only a temporary solution and VLANs are planned for the near future.. As for our daemons, most are running promiscuous to any IP, but I am aware I will need to "double check" the configs.. Thank you very much for your reply..

RE: Quickie... Hopefully!
Richard, I've done the same thing a few times. To get the full description, check the ifconfig man page and look for "alias". There's two problems with doing this: first, BSD can't have two default routes. Windows allows you to set two default gateways, and it works because of the "Route Discovery" built into it (this is why a windows machine can use a gateway that's not on it's local subnet...but, that's another topic). Second, if you've got servers set to listen only on a specific IP (apache, etc) it still won't work, even with the alias. Example: 1.1.1.1-1.1.1.255 -->from ISP #1 \ /-> 1.1.1.2 -->hub/switch --> FreeBSD fxp0 2.2.2.1-2.2.2.255 -->from ISP #2 / \-> 2.2.2.2 In the crude diagram above, both ISPs feeds end up coming into a hub/switch that your BSD machine is plugged into. The normal ifconfig on the device is 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0. You would then: "ifconfig fxp0 inet 2.2.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias" the device. This will work, as long as routing is setup correctly. Any request for 2.2.2.2 from anywhere in the world would end up at the same machine/interface as a request for 1.1.1.2. The problem lies in getting data out with the aliased address. The default route on the machine would be 1.1.1.1 and all traffic goes there. If you have specific traffic that you want to go out with the 2.2.2.2 address, you'd have to add routes for each DESTINATION IP: "route add -net 3.3.3.3 -netmask 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.1" and so on. BSD isn't smart enough to do source based routing. So the traffic will come into 2.2.2.2 via ISP #2, but the replies/ACKs will go out via ISP #1. Any traffic generated from the machine, without a specified SOURCE IP will go out as 1.1.1.2, and get sent via the 1.1.1.1 gateway. The other problem with the diagram above is that you've got two subnets running on the same lan, which breaks most rules of networking. This can be remedied with a few vlans, but again, that's another topic. Hope this helps. I'm sure most of this info is correct, but I'm more than willing to have somebody set me straight.

Richard Marriner said the following on 10/1/2004 6:25 PM: Dear list, Just wondering if there is anyway (preferably simple.) to have two ip addresses on the same NIC that are different networks. First, I would test things out by adding an ifconfig alias (man ifconfig) and adding a new route to the new gateway IP (using the route command). Then, once you're sure things are working, add an ifconfig alias in rc.conf. You probably want the *new* IP to be the non-alias address, and the *old* IP to be the alias. Make sure that defaultrouter is set in rc.conf to be the new gateway IP. You'll need to also add the route for the aliased IP to the route table using the route command. Then, test away--make sure traffic from both IP blocks makes it through! Traceroute is your friend! :) (I'm not a total network geek, but IIRC, this is one way of doing what you're looking for.

Symbios scsi and too large ata
Hello I a computer wich has a Symbios scsi controller and a 40G ata drive. Because the computer's bios is too old it does notdetect the 40G drive. So i tried to install FreeBSD on this box and failed miserably. 5.3BETA5 would freeze on boot. Only prints 2 lines or so. Then i tried 4.10. This one booted but doesnt see my scsi drive, only the ata one, on which ofcourse there is no point on instaling the system because it wont boot. I read some documentation and saw that Symbios scsi controllers are supported in both 4.10 and 5.2.1 so i realy dont understand what the problem is. In scsi bios utility it sais that the device uses irq 9. When doing kernel configuration on CLI mode i saw there is a device sio3 that uses the irq 9 but it is not enabled. I also booted OpenBSD on this box and it detected my scsi drive as sd0. But would really prefer running FreeBSD to Open so if you have any ideas pls tell me. And if it is not possible to install the system on the scsi drive maybe some suggestions on how to boot the sistem from the ata drive which doesnt boot(some floppies or smth like that) thanks Radu ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

One of the most pleasant things about FreeBSD mailing lists and the community as a whole is that you have the feeling that you are talking to adult human beings you share an interest / preference in operating system / profession / etc. with.

My experience: Windows users love Windows at first, then grow to hate it. BSD users hate FreeBSD at first, but grow to love it. The reason is that Windows is easy to use and learn, but once you understand it, you start to realize all the problems and shortcomings it has. FreeBSD (or any Unix-like system) doesn't pretent to be easy to learn. It _is_ learnable, it just takes some time. But after 5 years of using FreeBSD as my desktop computer, I'm _still_ learning new ways to use it to make my work easier.

Any other thoughts anyone? You might want to experiment with something like rsync to maintain a "live" (ie, on a FS) second copy. If you do this don't be put off by the initial rsync time (which may well take ages - tar or dump/restore may be faster to get the second copy in place initially). Rsync over such a large filesystem may take quite a while but the best bet is to actually try it to see if it meets your needs. Obviously a restore of a mail repository is a pretty awful thing to have to do. Amongst other things, users can find the "ressurrection" of deleted mails to be a real pain. You might want to see if your mail repo can generate some kind of replay log - if so, this might be the best route for minimising the amount of time needed to synchronise mailstores and to get the closest fidelity out of the copy. Breaking your mailstore into separate chunks may well help. Yes, the total time for a dump/restore may be close to your current state of play, but if you can split the partitions between machines then you have the option to perform these in parallel. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ "...perl has been dead for more than 4 years." - Abigail in the Monastery ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I would be sooo much nicer it 'tards would learn to use the subject
line
Those kind of comments are not welcome on this list.
Maybe he was having a bad day and took one too many irritations like
that to heart; I sometimes don't bother replying to top posters anymore
in my emails or to lists just because it's irritating to me to keep
going through jumbled headers and sorting crap out to get an actual
idea of what is going on in an email. Eventually I just pop it into
the bit bucket...if it's important, they'll email again with hopefully
a new email that's clean and free of crap.
Same with people that use reply-to to post their new message
topics...so it gets threaded under a different subject that has NOTHING
to do with the actual topic at hand. So they screw up the threading.
AAARGH
then again, I break the 72-character wrapping. Other people are really
miffed at that in this list. I wish someone would fix the Unix mailers
to see this properly, because I'm using Mail.app and it's stupid after
being drilled so often not to hit "enter" periodically for word
processing. Mail.app does put in wrapping, but it's using a type of
word wrapping that is configurable...something from qualcomm, I want to
say?...where messages would be dynamically wrapped to be more readable
on variable display sizes. Something about messages showing up
properly in email editors on PCs to small displays like those on PDA's
and cellphones. If the mailer interprets this properly, every
quotation is properly indented regardless of the size of the window.
So I irritate people in that regard.
When everyone who emails me stops top posting and screwing up the
threading or doing anything else to irritate my wonderful online
experience, I'll manually wrap lines at 72 characters.
Anyway, yeah, it was wrong to be so harsh...but maybe he had *some*
justification in mind at the time.
If you want to be rude to people, please don't associate yourself with
FreeBSD when you do it.
Yeah...take it to an advocacy forum! :-)
As to the OP's question, look at wine (http://www.winehq.com) ...
although
I've never had much success with it, that's what it's supposed to do.
Try using vmware, or QEMU. Or Plex86, or whatever they're calling that
project now. VM's tended to work much better for running Windows
software than WINE has worked for me, but that's just my experience.

Once again, I must assume that these notebooks legitimately owned by students and staff are NOT owned by the people that are changing the IP numbers. I actually think it's more than 1 culprit, and I couldn't be 100% certain whether they are using their own notebooks or school machines until I catch them in the act. Do what spammers do...set up all the school machines to act as zombies and when you detect the asshats pulling their little trick, flood them with connection requests to poof them off the network :-) If you have a situation where you KNOW who is doing it, and they are getting away with this, with the full knowledge of the Dean and others in the college, then you may as well just start looking for another job. If I was in your shoes I would. Nobody is actually getting away with it, it's just frustrating not knowing who. Doesn't arpwatch look for the mac changes on the network, which could help you track down the MAC which is pulling the address when it shouldn't? I see messages from arpwatch from some of our servers when DHCP leases change. Will at least help you narrow down the suspects...If you get a MAC address, you can run a detailed NMap against them to try identifying platform information as well as get the make/model of their network card from the MAC. That MAC, unless they're spoofing it, will give you evidence to use against them. There's also Nessus you can use on the system once you narrow it down...see what if any vulnerabilities there may be. Not that *I* advocate doing something like this. I'd *never* advocate breaking into another machine just because it was causing problems on your network. Once you have their MAC, you could also watch and see what address that MAC is magically changed to when the "attack" stops...then redirect their traffic using some ARP redirection (etherpeek? dsniff?) to redirect their requests through a local BSD machine acting as a gateway (forwarding packets). Sniff the traffic for awhile until a username comes through when looking for POP mail or some other text-based requests, then you know who it is (or at least who's at that machine). It's your school's network, and usually there's policies in place saying that a user does not have guaranteed privacy to information going over school or university networks (or business networks, for that matter), especially if the hardware is school owned (and you don't really have a way of telling this with this attack, unless you have a list of MACs owned by the school and know for a fact that the user isn't spoofing the MAC). Just some ideas I'd consider. More than likely. Unfortunately this is a legacy network held together with band-aids and fencing wire. I'm gradually making changes to the infrastructure, but it all costs money and in this case, it definitely won't happen overnight, but it is happening. Thanks for the suggestions. Can you contact your upstream provider for a couple static IPs or a static IP that you could use to subnet and NAT your servers for the public off the regular student network? That way the idiots in your own network shouldn't be *able* to affect your web servers, mail servers, etc... Of course, they could continue screwing with your internal servers, but at least this would reduce the damage they inflict. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If I had a dime for every time I have had to discuss how mail delivery actually works to Joe Average or his Windows NT/2000 systems administrator... boy. Again, I have many _very_ strong opinions on how email should be managed, this is one of them. I happen to have a very strong opinion on the grim state of humanity in general and regular, everyday, Joe Average computer users in particular. I am therefore strongly biased. ;-) When Joe Average computer user sends an order to Jane Trader to sell his stock in xxx because its the highest its ever been and that email sits in your secondary MX until after xxx falls to penny stock status, then Joe Average computer user will have plenty of world class lawyers on his doorstep with big dollar signs in their eyes. They will have no problem convincing Joe Sub-Average juror (of which there will be more than enough to go around) that you were the cause of Joe Average computer users' loss of his entire retirement savings. After all, you accepted the email and acknowledged it and failed to deliver it to Jane in a timely fashion. Any technical arguments you make about the server down etc., will not faze the judge (who couldn't care less - he gets paid the same no matter who wins) or Joe Sub-Average juror who is only interested in who is putting on the better entertainment (you or the soap opera he is missing at home). Joe Average was stupid to have only one way of verifying that this transaction took place...and failed...lacking verification, there should ALWAYS be a backup way to do a transaction involving large sums of cash to verify that transactions go through when the primary means of communication (like your email server) becomes unavailable. If you don't, that's your fault. Crap happens to any ISP and at some point your primary means of internet usage WILL go down. Not the system admin's problem as long as the system admin wasn't knowingly negligent. My domain was just changed over. While my domain changed appropriately, my reverse DNS still isn't set right (the company that controls the IP block is about as responsive as a pack of slugs). My postings to the freebsd question list have not been appearing, despite the fact that the changes seem to be working since late Saturday (except the afore-mentioned reverse dns lookups). I can't really look into "fixing" this more until I know that the reversals are working properly to see if there's something else causing it. I have gotten no bounces from the mail servers, no bounces from the list, NOTHING...my three or so postings have simply disappeared. Can I sue someone? I may have had a big issue on my servers to see help on before we lose lots of money... :-) (yes, I'm really having this problem right now, and I don't know how to get it fixed at the moment, even though I'm hoping it is just a reverse-DNS lookup issue and once the slugs get off their butts I'll start getting my posts back to the list again :-( -Bart ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2004/09/19 02:40:48 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Normal use is dump newfs restore. newfs now defaults to ufs2, so the default behavior (on 5.x) is to convert from ufs to ufs2.

dynamic IPSEC: Holy grail sighted
I have a router/ FreeBSd with a network on the other side with a Dynamic IP. At the other end is a static IP router/ FreeBsd box. I was using a manually keyed encryption, now I have the racoon to do the key negotiation. I can change the static gif0 interfaces at the VPn dynamic router using the dhclient-exit-loop. But what about the server gif0 interface. The gif0 tunnel attributes want the VPN's router address, and I would need an "exit-hook" from racoon to set this up, more then just setting the SPD keys. Any idea where to latch that from. I'v though about watchdogs (check the SPD keys), but is there a better way.

OpenOffice freezing on 5.2-CURRENT
Hi. i just installed OpenOffice 1.1.2 from a package; i need to work with some PowerPoint presentations and it seemed the best way. It looked like the install went fine, but now i cant seem to actually do anything with it. When it runs, the initial screen comes up but if i select the "open" dialog box it just freezes. Some other options go a bit longer--i can choose "New->Presentation" and that pops up an AutoPilot window, but after selecting one or two things that freezes too. None of these give any kind of crash report. i did the install as suggested, and there wasnt anything useful in the README (i did try to unset SESSION_MANAGER as suggested--im running GNOME--but it didnt work). What do i do? And if i cant get this working is there some other PowerPoint thing I can use, or a PowerPoint to HTML converter? Thanks! Jen __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Pam_ldap
Right, basically this is doing what I thought - just checking passwords in AD without looking up user info, so the accounts need to exist on the bsd server (that may become a real pain in the arse, by the way). couple of quick checks; 1) the ldap.conf referred to should be /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf *NOT* /etc/openldap/ldap.conf 2) can you log onto the console as these users? If you're sshing you may need to edit /etc/pam.d/sshd, and not login. 3) what's in your logs? If you have the 'debug' flag on, something will be getting written to - check /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages * Bret Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [1043 13:43]: > It is here: http://www.netsys.com/pamldap/2002/04/msg00074.html > > Thanks, > Bret > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dick Davies > Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 4:31 AM > To: Bret Walker > Cc: FreeBSD Questions > Subject: Re: Pam_ldap > > > * Bret Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [1028 00:28]: > > I've been trying all day to get pam_ldap to authenticate an ssh > > session against Active Directory.

Re: Error mounting Linux ext2fs drive
Now here's the frustrating bit. Time has passed and the machine has been shut down and rebooted a few times.

IP - Interface Setup
Hello all, We have five servers. FreeBSD 4.4 on two, 4.7 on one, and 4.10 on two. We have server IP addresses on all of them. We have came accross the situation where we have blocks of ips being used on more than one server. THe question is, for example, if I have a block of 60 IPs, 1.0.0.0 - 1.0.0.60 with a netmask of 192, Do I need to specify that netmask on for the first IP on each server that uses one or more of those IPs or just the first one on any of the servers? The servers are all connected to the same network segment, and are all behind the same switch.

Re: Backup/Restore
I have the case where a new file is created about every second or two, nothing gets changed, but files get deleted occasionally (it's a mail server). I thought of using tar, but it would be just as slow as dump I would think. I've thought of breaking it up into chunks, but that still doesn't solve my speed issue...i'm beginning to consider using dd since it reads the actual disk bits, and just hope that a)I don't ever need one file and b) the system I restore to has at least or more space then the original server.

Trying to find ULE's benchmark program
Hi list, I'm in the process of preparing for an internship during which I will be working on NetBSD's process scheduler. Right now I'm gathering information on the availability of existing scheduler benchmarking tools. I've read Jeff Robertson's ULE paper, which mentions that a benchmarking program was created for ULE called Late. I would like to try this program for my own testing and perhaps extend it a little. According to the paper, Late can be found in the FreeBSD source tree. I just checked out the tree using cvs (using no tags, so I assume that's the current version), but I can't find this benchmarking program anywhere. Could someone please give me a pointer to where I should look in the tree? (or perhaps some other scheduler benchmarking programs you know of) BTW, I am not subscribed to the list, so please CC me on your replies.

So people would usually send e-mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' which then gets automatically aliased to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'? And you want a system like aliases, but that can rewrite destinations based on matching stuff after the '@' sign, rather than just before it? Hmmm... virtusertable should do the trick. Try adding: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] to /etc/mail/virtusertable , and then run 'make' to rebuild the .db tables. You'll need: FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') in your `hostname`.mc file, but that should already be there, as it's a standard in freebsd.mc This is analogous to the situation where you run a company spread over multiple sites each with their own local mail server, but all using the same e-mail domain: you'ld use virtusertable to redirect the incoming e-mail to the appropriate site server for each user. > In the event my main mail server is down, I'd like to use the > tickets.mydomain.com box as the backup MX. Its already running SMTP to > handle the tickets, so seems a logical choice. Yes, you should be able to use the tickets machine as a backup MX for your domain as well as using the virtusertable stuff as above. Indeed, if incoming e-mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] just happens to be delivered to the tickets machine, you'll save a round trip to the main server. > What would be ideal is to have mail destined for support@ to be delivered > locally. So, for example, a user can create a ticket saying the mail server > is down (of course that is only useful if admins have off-site email > addresses the ticket system notifies for redundancy, but that's easy > enough). That should work for your unix boxes where they use a local sendmail instance for sending e-mail. Windowzy stuff that speaks SMTP directly to the server will need somehow to be told to connect to the backup MX rather than the main server. Hmmm... it may be possible to use VRRP to do that automatically; you'ld have to experiment.

That should certainly be feasible. You will need to make the FreeBSD system be a gateway machine -- add: gateway_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. You'll need to run an instance of ppp for each modem, each with its own separate configuration. You will need to run NAT on the FreeBSD boxes' internet interface: that's built into the ppp(8) server and can be specified on the command line. On the windows box side, all you need is the configuration that lets you dial in as required. Remember to adjust any firewall rulesets to allow traffic from your windows machine out to the world at large, and for the responses to come back again. Running a caching recursive DNS server on the FreeBSD box would be a good idea, as would running some sort of web proxying software, although you will be able to get away without either of those. Don't expect a stellar web browsing experience from your windows box -- running through two PPP links is going to result in pretty horrendous network latency.

wrt dump:
on 5.x dump has to understand ufs2. However, you might choose to use ufs; so
it has to deal with that. Since dump does both, restore must do both. QED :)
wrt files:
I don't think ufs2 was MFCd so you can't put a 4.x system on ufs2 and expect it
to work, if that's what you mean.

Anyway:
Not sure it's official, but I did this:
cd /usr/src/sbin/restore
make clean
make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g
I tried again on a 4.10 box and it skips and resyncs 3 times and is missing three
files; which
is at least consistent.
So this looks distinctly like bad RAM. However...
md5 of the 50Gb file is consistent between the two boxes

Since the error is apparently in the "skip recovery" code, could this be a regression

I'm looking for somthing like Novell that is free. > Or do you know of project out there that can function like Novell? The short answer is "yes". The rather longer and more reasoned answer is that "Terminal Services" as a distinct product is an artefact of the way Windows works. Unix and Linux systems (including MacOS X) have had true multiuser capability from the start. Similarly X windows was always designed to be network transparent, so you can run any X application on a remote machine and have it display on your local desktop[1]. That means that you can have a whole companies' worth of people all logging into the same server to each run their own copy of an application that displays on their personal desktop. Those applications can even include window managers or whole destop environments if that's what you want. No problem, so long as the server is powerful enough. What's more, it's just the standard way the system works: no extra (and expensive) software required. Cheers, Matthew [1] Although MacOS X doesn't use X Windows as it's native windowing system, a) it comes with X as a standard feature and b) I believe that you can do similar remote display things with the Cocoa layer: in fact, it has a generic 'remote object method call' capability which gives you even more possibilities. -- 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 pgpkIRXru9xMz.pgp Description: PGP signature

"5.1 is no longer supported" means that there is no guarrantee that any security patches etc. will be applied to it. Although individual committers may well provide patches to 5.1 if they have the time and the inclination, this cannot be relied upon. Anyone still running 5.1 should upgrade as soon as possible. 5.1 will never be declared a production ready release. First of all, that's because it is a *RELEASE*. Releases do not have development work committed to them, not even to fix obvious bugs[1]. The only things that would ever be fixed are security problems. If you want new code, you can either upgrade to a newer release, or track one of the development branches (4-STABLE, 5-STABLE, CURRENT) Secondly, it's a developer preview -- a snap shot of the upcoming 5.x series of releases made solely for testing purposes. Full scale releases are guarranteed support for at least one year. Developer previews, on the other hand, just last until superceded by the next preview, in this case 5.2.1-RELEASE. Even that is teetering on the rim of consignment to the dustbin of history, with the impending 5.3-RELEASE. Right now, installing one of the 5.3-BETAs is in many cases a better choice than installing 5.2.1-RELEASE. 5.3 however *is* intended to be production ready, with all of the long term support that implies. You can use cvsup and buildworld to upgrade to 5.3-BETA right now, or 5.3-RELEASE when it becomes available. However, you will need to read /usr/src/UPDATING carefully, as that upgrade has a few gotchas! It just needs you to do some stuff you wouldn't normally do for a routine buildworld so that everything will work smoothly. If you're inexperienced at using buildworld to maintain your system, make serious consideration of just doing a reinstall from the 5.3 .iso images.

You're not going to need nss_ldap if you just want to validate a password. But it sounds a bit odd to have existing users in /etc/passwd and only have the password itself from AD - and if the users don't exist in /etc/passwd the system won't be able to log them in.

I'd say a two-fold "no". First, it's no longer a security branch, see e.g. here http://www.freebsd.org/security/#adv , and 5.1 is definitively not production worthy. Lot's of improvements (regarding stability, performance and features) went into FreeBSD 5 since then. Just have a look at the freebsd-current mailing list archive, and see how busy they are, and given the fact that 5.1 was released over one year ago, you can imagine what has changed since then. > Am I just > missing out on functionality by sticking with 5.1 and not moving up to 5.3? > Moreover, *if* I choose to move to 5.3 (when it is ready for prime time) can > I change my cvsupfile and then rebuild my kernel and world to the new 5.3 > release? Yes, but you should also rebuild all of your ports, for the following reasons: - the default threading libs changed - a new version of gcc was imported (bringing an (binary) incompatible c++ mangeling scheme) You might also upgrade to FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 now, which already is in a very good condition, and update to 5.3-RELEASE as soon as it's released (presumably on 17 October).

Thank you very much! I think, I'll just assign MATH="expr" and change it
to something else when I need it.

I don't have an internal network. This is a server with 1 gigabit network card on a gig link.

If this works for you then the keep-state is definitely not working for you. Because when a SYN comes in, the state is saved in the firewall dynamic states so that subsequent ACKs corresponding to that SYN gets through without any problem. >=== > oif=bge0 > fwcmd=ipfw > > $fwcmd -f flush > > $fwcmd add check-state > > $fwcmd add allow ip from any to any via lo0 > $fwcmd add deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 > > $fwcmd add deny all from any to any frag in via $oif > > $fwcmd add allow tcp from any to me > 21,25,26,53,110,143,443,465,953,993,995,2082,2083,2086,2087,2089,2095,2096,2 > 627,,4-49452 > in via $oif keep-state setup > $fwcmd add allow tcp from any to me 80 setup keep-state > $fwcmd add allow udp from me 53 to any keep-state > $fwcmd add allow udp from any to any 53 keep-state > > $fwcmd add allow all from me to any out via $oif setup keep-state > > $fwcmd add deny all from any to any 137,138,139,67,68 in > > $fwcmd add deny log all from me to any 22 > $fwcmd add deny log all from any to any change this to $fwcmd add deny log all from any to any in xmit $oif BTW, any good reason not to trust your internal network from sending data through the firewall?
