ThinkPad can't se Ethernet PC Card

[Kjell Midtseter]

I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.4RC3 on my IBM ThinkPad iSeries, 
Type 2611 laptop.

Unfortunately my Kingston EtheRx IC PC Card is not detected.
When I boot a CD distribution like Knoppix, the card is detected as 
Kingston KNE-PC2
In the compatibility list the KNE-PC2 card is listed with the ed driver, 
but specifying  ifconfig_ed="inet 192.168. in rc.conf  does not help.

The following is fram my dmesg:

VPN Setup

[Rene C. Mendoza]

Hi,
I plan to setup a VPN gateway using OpenVPN.  However, the setup is a 
little bit weird.  Here it is:

Priv. Network A<->FreeBSD Server< ->Linksys Router(NAT) <-- INTERNET 
-->Cisco VPN Concentrator--> Priv. Network B
(OpenVPN Gateway)

I'm a newbie in this kind of thing so I would it appreciate it very much 
if anyone can tell me what  is wrong with this setup.  You may be 
wondering why the Linksys router is still there when the Freebsd server 
can serve as the router as well.  The answer is very much convoluted and 
I'd rather not go into it now. :-(  By the way, the Linksys router can 
do port forwarding.

My big question is: Is the above setup feasible and if so, could you 
send me some references (on the Internet) where I can find more 
info/solution on this problem?

thanks,
Rene

Acer Aspire 1804

[Jon Mercer]

Looks like my 'old' laptop of nine months has died and is being replaced
with an Acer Aspire 1804WSMi (under warranty, of course).

Has anyone got any experience of FBSD on one of these? Spec is one of the
following:

Aspire 1804WSMi Intel® Pentium® 540 processor (3.2GHz, 800MHz 
FSB),
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition, 512MB (2*256) DDR, 100GB HDD,
DVD-SuperMulti, 17" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite TFT display, ATI MOBILITY
RADEON X600 with 128MB of external DDR video, 56Kbps modem, 10/100/1000
LAN, Integrated wireless LAN (802.11b/g), Bluetooth™, Li-Ion battery,
5-in-1card reader, Microsoft® Works

Aspire 1804WSMi Intel® Pentium® 540 processor (3.2GHz, 800MHz 
FSB),
Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Centre Edition, 512MB (2*256) DDR, 100GB HDD,

I'm a bit worried about the screen being WXGA. Does Xorg support this?
Things like the remote control(?), card reader, modem don't exactly worry
me too much...

Any experiences gratefully received,

Good question.  You're almost certainly on the wrong track.  Running
your own nameserver should take care of DNS problems, and having your
own name in your own local DNS should keep local programs from
failing.  It would still be better to use a real domain name in
network communications, but that won't affect things like cvsup.

Try raising the verbosity of cvsup and see what *it* tells you.

Re: Which is the best PDF utility ?

[edward]

Hi,
I installed it though pkg_add -r kdegraphics3. Install seemed to go all 
right. Then the software added itself to the K menu. But KPDF doesn't 
launch. When started from the console, I get :
# kpdf
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libidn.so.16" not found, required 
by "kpdf"
My guess is that there is version mixup involving one of the 
dependencies used by KPDF. Any idea which dependency is concerned or how 
I can bail out of this ?

kpdf, which is based on xpdf (other recommended xpdf) is a part of KDE,
and thus integrates well with the rest of your KDE environment.  I like
it.   The Adobe reader would be better if it wasn't such a pain to
install and use.   (I have a windows machine with acrobat, but when I
need to view a pdf I move to my FreeBSD machine so I can use kpdf)
kpdf is a part of kdegraphics, which is in ports as:
/usr/ports/graphics/kdegraphics3
I'd call this your best bet because you use KDE already.

mkv and avi are both video container.  You should be able to quickly
"change" the container with mencoder (part of MPlayer):

mencoder video.mkv -ovc copy -oac copy -o video.avi

well MPlayer must be compiled with mastroka support, and the result may
be "weird" if the .mkv use many audio channels etc.
It may be a better option to extract both video and audio part and remux
them.  Look at multimedia/mkvtoolnix, transcode and/or mencoder.

Sounds like maybe something involved with make(1) itself got
corrupted.  Rare, but it happens.  Reinstalling the base system
would probably help (just do a "binary upgrade" -- you don't need
to reinstall the whole system).

netcat strange behaviour

My netcat is the one from the official FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE s the system here 
now to check the exact version; I'll check it and post it
to the maillist a.s.a.p. (or look in web-cvs).

As of telnet, it runs o.k., but I wanted to use netcat in a shell script... :(
Besides, that is what netcat is designed for, is it not?

PS. sorry, as of 5.4-RELEASE I meant 5.4-RC2

crash dump

[Wei Chong]

Hi,

I compiled my FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE kernel with 
options KDB, DDB
makeoptions DEBUG="-g"

and wrote a kernel module that does nothing but call
panic() upon its loading, to try experimenting on
crash kernel debugger and crash dump.
Upon kldload the module, KDB was invoked and I was
dropped into a console debugger that let me see the
backtrace by typing "where".
However, when I typed "panic" as suggested by the FAQ,
it doesn't dump anything to my swap device.  Only by
typing "call doadump" in the KDB that it does the job.

I wonder why?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Yours truly,
Tan, Wei Chong.

RE: 256 MB not enough RAM for Desktop-FreeBSD, a strange experience

[Freek Nossin]

Hello list-member :)

I had the same experience with OpenOffice. I do have the same amount of RAM,
but I think it is not related to the size the machine's memory, UNLESS the
use of virtual memory is a problem. The thing is, the 256 of RAM is often
used for 100% on my system and therefor it has to swap a lot. OO.org didn't
even start in XFCE properly on my machine and I too couldn't kill the
process. Even with kill -9. Unfortunately nobody was able to help, I did
sent a message over this list but nobody came up with the cause of the
problem or a solution. I do think it is BSD related because the process was
unkillable. If you find the cause, or even better a solution, to this
problem I'd like to hear about it. 

Good Luck,

Subject: 256 MB not enough RAM for Desktop-FreeBSD, a strange experience

Hi list,


I started using FreeBSD as a Desktop in December 04 with the hardware
configuration below

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2
Asus TUSL-C with PIII-1133
256 MB RAM
WDC WD800JB
KDE 3.3.2
OOo-1.1.4


Very often OpenOffice-1.4 died on starting, just showing the splash screen.
I couldn't kill the process, even not with "-9". So I had to reboot. Because
of KDEs behavior to start applications, which have been used before,
OpenOffice was started automatically on KDEs 
startup. Mostly successful. OpenOffice started a bit more   reliable 
using XFCE4...

In combination with this FreeBSD was hanging on the end of a shutdown:
No buffers busy after final sync


I didn't find very helpful information on the net, but since I added
256 MB of RAM I have never seen one of these errors.


Does someone have any idea what that could have been caused? Adding 
more RAM, gaining stability, gaining speed, ok...


Ben

I am running FreeBSD with KDE 3.4 and OOo on a P3 700MHz with 192 MB ram. 
It's not really great performance, but it works all right. And it's not even 
swapping that much. Ok, it swaps for about 100MB, but it's still doing fine. 
And if I use XFCE in combination with OOo it performs just fine. It doesn't 
even need to swap. Ok, my AMD64 with 1 gig ram works better, but hey, it's 
workable. 

So it's not always BSD who is to blame ;)

Very wise.  This I say from experience.  And always be careful with
wildcard deletes.  Fatfingering a space between your pattern and a '*'
can be disastrous, even as a regular joe user. :(

I find it highly improbable that the kernel would suddenly bonk if it
can't amuse itself with a game or two while you're not looking, but
these aren't really the kind of games that will keep people wasting
time.  On top of that, they take up less than 4M of disk space, which
might be considered less than negligible.

Finally, keep in mind that fortune is used for some logins to present
FreeBSD tips and hints.  And even after some 5 years using FreeBSD, I
find these tips helpful from time to time.

So you're probably perfectly safe to plonk them, but it's probably not
worth the hassle.

The best way to make changes like this to an already installed system
__and__ be certain there are no leftover files is to use a second
partition as an installworld area, boot into the second partition, clean
the first partition (newfs?)  and then install again the new, minimal
world to the initial partition.

It does require a lot of extra space (around 180 MB for a full
installworld of the base system in FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT), but if you are
really determined to trim the base system to the exact specifications
you have in mind, it's the best way I know of.

The ``FreeBSD from Scratch'' article in the documentation set describes
how this can be done, in a lot more detail than I can write in a single
email message:

assuming that you need /usr/local/fake to be your shared library

ipfilter / ftp

[Sherman, Michael (GE Energy)]

Hi all.

I am trying to set up an ftp box, have a some problems. I am using vsftp as
the ftp server, with IPfilter as a firewall. During large transfers, the ftp
client would suddenly stop with a message "Operation failed, no route to
host". Any ideas?

I am using FreeBSD 5.3 Release, vsftp ftp server and the IPfilter rules for
ftp are as follows:
for out:
pass out quick on xl0 proto tcp from any to any port = 21 flags S keep state
pass out quick on xl0 proto tcp from any port = 20 to any  port > 1023 flags
S keep state
for in:
pass in quick on xl0 proto tcp from any port > 1023 to any port = 21 flags S
keep state

Which is the best PDF utility ?

[Sherman, Michael (GE Energy)]

KDE has kpdf, GNOME has gpdf. Both are alright if you want to read. There's
also a possibility of running Adobe's Acrobat, but as far as I know it needs
Linux emulation. It's the ugliest of the three, but the most functional.

OK, I have opened the box and had a look at this
ISA card. It's indeed a sound card, "Creative
SB16/SB32". But it also has one IDE Interface
connector, which apparently is the ata2 device.

So, I thought, let's see how I get this ata2 to work.
I disconnected the CDrom cable from the motherboard's
IDE, and connected it to this soundcard.
Nothing there at bootup; no mentioning of any
CDrom in the kernel messages.
(To be sure, I reconnected the cable the other way
round to the card; same result).

Does this ISA/IDE require some other additional
tweaks to become operational? The OS is 5-Stable.

---

Eventually I would like to achieve this:
I have another, very old, PC with following
configuration:
  IDE/0 (on motherboard) master and slave harddisks
  IDE/1 (on motherboard) -broken-
 
I like to use this soundcard/IDE controller for
adding a CDrom to this very old PC. The OS of this
PC is 4-Stable.

Thanks for your help!

Rob.

Apache rewrite log and newsyslog.conf

[Paul Schmehl]

I maintain a small hobby website for some friends.  I use mod_rewrite, and 
apache logs all rewrites to /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log.  The log gets very 
large and files up /var, so I added it to newsyslog.conf:

/var/log/httpd-access.log   640  5 *$W0D0 Z
/var/log/httpd-error.log640  5 *$W0D0 Z
/var/log/httpd/rewrite.log  640  5 *$W0D0 Z
As you can see, the newsyslog.conf settings are identical to the 
httpd-access.log and the httpd-error.log.  Both of those logs are rotated 
daily and only five gzipped backup copies are maintained.

For some reason, the rewrite_log never gets turned over.  Has anyone seen 
this problem?  What might I be doing wrong?

The data for the fortunes seems to be most of the space taken up by
the "games" distribution.  

We should also mention for the original poster's benefit that in 5.x,
all of the actual games have been removed from the base system, but
fortune(6), primes(6), random(6), and so on are still there (and still
referred to as "games", even though they really aren't).

Because rpcbind is a dependancy of ypbind, no (real) need to explicitly
enable it... but it doesn't hurt.

I personnaly use a very similar setup at work (Solaris NIS server and
FreeBSD NIS client), and binding point to point the two works great:
 # grep nis /etc/rc.conf
 nisdomainname="domain"
 nis_client_enable="YES"
 nis_client_flags="-ypset -s -m -S domain,foor,bar"
 # /etc/rc.d/ypbind start

If ypwhich(1) don't tell you more on the hostname of NIS server, the
problem may come from the configuration of the server, not the client.

No, probably he just neds to 'make cleandir' in /usr/src/sys/modules,

'/sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt/swissbit' it all goes smooth and I find 
the share mounted.

Where am I wrong?

It takes a while for the mapping from umass to da to be established. Try
adding '/bin/sleep 1; ' to the front of the attach command.

Your usbd.conf relies on two assumptions that might not be true. The
umass0 device is not necessarily the swissbit device, and umass0 does
not automatically map to da0.

I never tried running it under any BSD.  ISTR that it was a very
messed-up IDE interface which only worked with Creative's brand
CD-ROMs.  I saw a bunch of these back in the day as they were marketed
as upgrade kits when CD-ROMs were just hitting mass-market computers,
and lots of people wanted to add CD-ROMs and sound to their old
computers so they could play games.  A soundcard with extra IDE + a
CD-ROM got them there, barely.

I don't think it'll work for that - too bastardized. I don't know what
they did but they might have changed the pinout or something so that it
was only compatible with Creative CD-ROMs.  In the best case, if you
got it to work, it would be deathly slow.

Then maybe someone with 5.X could try netcat!
In the meantime, gnetcat might still work where netcat didn't.  Or maybe the

You're missing devel/libidn. However, for something with many 
dependencies like kdegraphics3, I'd recommend building it from ports in 
order to pull in dependencies more easily. Are you familiar with using 
ports? If not, here's some basic info: 
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/12/21/Big_Scary_Daemons.html and 
there are many more helpful articles on the site, as well as excellent 
info in the handbook.

Didn't know. I was misled by the fact that I saw my SWISSBIT mass storage  
mapped as umass[0-2]+ and ** acordingly ** da[0-2]+: 0 to 0, 1 to 1 and 2 to 
2.
By the way, there's another question relating to mapping.
As I said to mount  the SWISSBIT I use for instance 
"/sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt/swissbit" whilst to mount my Eutron usb 
mass storage mapped as umass0 -> da0 I have to issue:
"/sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/eutron"
Why is that, I mean da0 -> da0s1?

I can't imagine why you couldn't get it to work. But for what limited 
performance you will get in return for your time spent, you would 
probably be better off with a more modern PCI card.

However if you are that curious:

HELP ME WITH PF! (5th plea)

[Fafa Diliha Romanova]

hello!

1) i have reasons to believe that pf causes my server to crash
whenever i upload/download.

http://www.home.no/hedhnta/pf.conf

2) i also need to type some three stupid commands after every
reboot for my nat to work. i have to type:

pfctl -F a ; pfctl -Nf /etc/pf.conf ; pfctl -sr

3) how does this ftp-proxy work if i want to disable inetd, and
switch ftpd with pure-ftpd? i am referring to this line in my
/etc/inetd.conf:

ftp-proxy stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftp-proxy ftp-proxy

i'd be VERY happy if someone could help me.
as all other people in trouble would be.

thanks :)

Mozilla problems afetr upgrade

[Your Name]

i just portupgraded Mozilla to 1.7.7,2 and several
problems have come up.

when i try to open preferences, i get a Gecko pop-up
window  that says:

 XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
 Location: 
chrome://communicator/content/pref/pref.xul
 Line Number 1, Column 1:

also, i can no longer type text into the URL box and
hit the down arrow to do a search--even if i have
things 
in the box it says "(Search Google for "(null)")". and
the "find in page" function works only sometimes.

i didn't see any other reports about this--i think my
ports are all up to date.

With tcpdump data; Re: firefox slow/hang load images and yahoo mail

[benchmark]

More data with tcpdump.

Visiting www.nytimes.com
hanging on 'transferring data from graphics8.nytimes.com'

Here is the tcpdump starting when i hit the return on loading nyt.com.
The interesting stuff is at the end...

It seems to me that we got the name/ip for graphics8.nytimes.com.
a) It seems to me that  vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net is not configured
correctly? why are we quering that as the nameserver? my
/etc/resolve.conf is like this:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 4.2.2.1

b) i didn't understand the protocol where we are telling
vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net that an udp port is not reachable

c) the icpm error ?

is this a DNS problem after all? Someone had suggested that there
might be a problem with my nic's mtu, however tuning it only
marginally helped.

I can ping graphics8.nytimes.com, though it turned out to be
graphics8.nytimes.m7z.net.

longest uptime

[Stevan Tiefert]

Hello list,
if I want to do a uptime-record I have always the possiblity to shut 
down daemons (when needed) and start them again, without rebooting the 
system! That is very nice! I had many days and weeks running my nicely 
freebsd-server. BUT every time I updated the patchlevel (in example 
5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.2.1-RELEASE-p14) I had to reboot my system. But then 
the counter of uptime is starting at zero again :-(

Question: Is there a possiblity to run the system inclusive patching it, 
without rebooting? Goal is to run a system maybe longer than a year!!!

With regards
Stevan

sendmail relay host problem

[Olaf Stein]

hi everybody
 
I am running FBSD 5.3 with sendmail 8.12 on a custom installed system (just
base and man)
The only thing this machine is supposed to do is send notification emails on
certain events on an ftp server
the ftp notifications work, as other mail servers I have tried deliver them
my old machine doing this (FBSD 4.9) crashed and I unfortunately do not
remember exactly how I configured it
 
What I remember and what I did on this installation is the following:
 
- add alias for existing user in /etc/mail/aliases
- run newaliases
- add relay-domains file in /etc/mail with the domains to deliver mail to
- restart sendmail
 
I am under the impression that with my old installation that was enough but
I am not sure
Fact is that it does not send any emails
Am I missing something I still have to do or do you know locations of howtos
for setting up sendmail for my purposes
 
please cc me as I am not on the list
 
thanks
/Olaf

Short answer: no.

Long answer: don't think like that. Uptime is not important. It is not
a pissing contest.

That is probably because you have no SCSI disks. They also use the da
driver. If you had one, it would be da0, and umass0 would probably map
to da1.

The devices are partitioned differently. If you run 'gpt show /dev/daX',
where X denotes the numbers of the two devices, you'll see the differences.

What photo album is she using? I don't think it is the picture files
themselves that need such liberal permissions. Perhpas the directory
where the thumnails are stored should be writable by the webserver

This message is really off-topic. Consult the docs for the photo-album

Common sense tells me that if you disable inetd any entries in
inetd.conf are no longer applicable.

Doesn't "make buildworld" run an rm -r(f) to cleanse any previous
attempts to build world?
or did you mean the message I got suggesting a "rm -fr /usr/obj?

In case of cat pages it does, but like I wrote I want to be able to add 
packages and read their man pages without having to involve any other 
machine. So there's no way arround a lean *roff...

Bit it's on ice for the moment, I'm about XP-ipsec(dynamicIP) <-> FreeBSD

box)

Re: firefox slow/hang load images and yahoo mail

[benchmark]

Just checked my gentoo linux setup. The network MTU is at 1500, and I
don't run named/bind, and my firefox is setup to do ipv6. The
/etc/resolve.conf on my gentoo box is also using 192.168.1.1 as the
name server. Don't know why BSD isn't behaving. I have a few guesses:
a) my FreeBSD wireless network driver isn't behaving (it's a thinkpad
t40's build in card)
b) or my router (DLink DI-714) didn't like FreeBSD's network packet --
i don't know enough here

Really appreciate any help here. I started to play with FreeBSD
because someone suggested (and i also read that  it has better
networking/filesystems), but I am almost ready to give it up...

[Gary Kline]

Folks,

I'm looking at doing a build-your-own desktop/tower system.
It's an Intel 2.9GHz motherboard with builtin graphics and
sound.  But to be on the safe side I just want stuff to 
*work*.  So will to order a video and sound card.  cAn anybody
tell me if FBSD-5.3 works with the SoundBlaster Live card and 
the "GeForce MX4000 64M" card?  Since I can't fiddle with my
hardware myself, I'd rather than everything just-works.
...Rather than having to beg favors.

Also, if anybody knows of a good online store, please let me
know.  I found a website called "tigerdirect.com".  Am I
tossing the dice? anybody dealt with this place?

thankee,

gary

Did you check the FreeBSD web site hardware compatibility list?
There is one for each version of the OS that is released.

Never done business with them.  They sure spam a lot which turns
me off.

Re: How to resize /USR

Two ways to go about it unless you just happened to leave a lot of
space contiguously following the current partition that you mount
as /usr (not very likely).   Then you could try growfs.

But, presuming the more normal situation:

One:  you can back up everything on the disk, rebuild the whole disk
to whatever sizes you want and then use the live cd to reload the
backups.   Make sure you make the disk bootable when you redo it.

Two:  you can move some stuff such as /usr/local and/or /usr/ports
to some disk partition where you have lots of extra space and make
soft links to it/them.   That way you don't really have to redo 
the disk.   I have posted sample instructions for doing this several
times in this list, even recently.  So, check the list archives.

Their catalogs are cheesy and somewhat misleading if you ask me.   
They send a lot of junk mail (paper).  And they sued Apple today over  
the Tiger name, though they do not seem to have any relevant  
trademarks registered at the USPTO.

Too bad, as the soundcard itself seems to be
recognized properly by 5-Stable:

Anyway, if I buy a PCI IDE controller, would that
work easily with FreeBSD (4- or 5-Stable alike) ?

Re: firefox slow/hang load images and yahoo mail

[benchmark]

Eliminated the wireless driver problem, as I connected via LAN to my
router and still got the hang and the browers has to be killed. Here
is more tcpdum data. It's hanging/repeating itself. Again, none of
these problems in my gentoo linux box. Is it because that it is
running firefox in emulation mode

As others have said, no, and it's not really important, though FWIW, my 
uptime is always as long as my machines run without me rebooting them, 
meaning they'll stay up until I say otherwise ;) They never go down on 
their own. I have a laptop running close to a month now, and the only 
reason it's not longer is because I wanted to update to 5.4-PR.

But ... rebooting in order to update for security fixes is not a bad 
thing. An long-unpatched FreeBSD install on a DMZ server makes me a bit 
more edgy than knowing the uptime will reset to zero when it's rebooted 
after updating.

Is FreeBSD so insecure that it must be patched every few days?  I hardly
ever see FreeBSD security issues on Bugtraq, and the ones I see often
have nothing to do with Net attacks.  A properly configured FreeBSD
server with no local logins should be quite secure.  The only problem
I've ever had resulted from a bug in Apache, and Apache obviously isn't
part of FreeBSD.

Obviously not. Security update notifications are available:

It depends very much on what you're doing with it and what the 
vulnerabilities are. Security is always a balance between practicality 
and safety. FreeBSD is very secure by design, but ignoring security 
updates isn't necessarily the best idea. If I were running 3.x, it 
would probably make me a bit nervous if I couldn't update it to at 
least 4.11, though some people still do run 3.x - wouldn't necessarily 
recommend it, though.

  You could always try... but as I recall you did, and it didn't work. 
Maybe worth googling for, but if you've got a working PCI slot, a cheap
IDE card should be many times faster.  The Creative ISA card was
designed in an era when a "fast" CD-ROM was 2x, not 52x.

keyboard leds

[Mervin McDougall]

I have recently installed FreeBSD 5.3 on a Compaq
Presario 2100 laptop. After setting up X I noticed
that I can activate the led for the num lock button by
pressing the numlock button. However, the caps lock
and scroll lock leds do not come on. Is there a reason
why this may be happening and can it be fixed. I
sometimes press the wrong keys and would like to know
in what mode I am from time to time.

Fafa, it would help a lot if you read the suggestions offered in the
followups to your earlier messages and reported back if trying what
people suggested made any difference.  If you're not subscribed to the
list, you could try searching the list archives (or google on the
message subjects).  AFAICT the solution lies in a simple modification of
your rule set which is actually pretty obvious.

You could try running ftpsesame or pftpx instead.

Problem ext2

[pier]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all.
I have a problem using an external hd (firewire).
I formatted the hd in two partitions:

da0s1 10gb = vfat
da0s2 30gb = ext2

I need ext2 because i need to exchange very big files (dvd iso images)
with linux computers.
But everytime i try to copy a big file i receive this message:

cp: ./sarge-i386-1.iso: File too large

I have already try to tuned to ext2 and even change the connection (usb

Any advice?
I use freebsd 5.4-STABLE-20050419-JPSNAP
Thanx

what does mailq say? what happens when sending an e-mail with mail
-v? 

relay_domains contains domain- or hostnames sendmail will relay

(smart host) statement in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
