Any advice? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Philip Hallstrom Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 10:38 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Outsourcing a modem pool for dialup? Any advice? Hi all - Our company has a product such that a small server is installed at each customer site. This server dials up to the Internet every night and exchanges some content with a central server in our data center. Total transaction takes about 5 minutes. Customers can have multiple sites. Our largets to date has three, but some potentials have several hundred. In the cases where the site does not have an existing Internet connection we currently use dialup via a major ISP. This works for now, but won't for the long haul for a couple of reasons: - they all are all sharing the same username and password (yes yes, I know...) - we're moving into canada and this ISP doesn't have many local numbers up there. - Dealing with local numbers and their somewhat frequent changing is a real headache. OK. Now then, am I assuming that if you go the 800 number route then that you will be billing the customers for the LD usage on that or are you going to eat it? What I want is a modem pool with one local number (tied into an 800 number) where I can create as many username/password pairs as needed. I want that local number to never change :-) Totally unnecessary since your using an 800 number. If the local number changes you just repoint the 800 number to the new local number. Mostly, but this way I can configure the local number first (1-xxx-xxx-) and then the 800 number so sites that allow long distance calls get billed for the call instead of us... saves a bit of money... You cannot setup an 800 number to charge the caller. If you are thinking of using the 800 as a failover number in the config then you go right back the same problem, which is that if the outsourcer changes the phone number you are screwed. This is yet another reason for running your own pool. If you own your own local phone number it isn't going to change. Now... to make it fun... - No, I can't install a dialup server in our corporate datacenter. Why not? This is so calling out for you to run your own dialup server that it is unbelievable. Ah... I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that!!! :-) Believe me... I could write volumes on why this isn't going to happen. Well, it might, but only if I can show that outsourcing is going to cost zillions of dollars.. and that's not even getting to the paperwork process. I've tried before. 1.5 years later I haven't gotten any closer. Outsourcing will indeed cost a lot more than if you do it yourself. Not zillions, but certainly many thousands more a year if you pay someone to do it. My goodness, do your bosses think that the outsourcers do this for free, that there is some kind of economy of scale you take advantage of? Let me tell you a little secret - dialup outsourcers only sell their services to THREE types of customers. The first type are ISPs that are failures. The second type are ISP's that have their own modem pools in whatever service areas they are in, and are playing around with seeing if they can make money with national or expanded coverage. (very difficult for a small ISP without their own national network) The last type are corporations who either have too much money to waste, or have nobody competent working for them. In all 3 of these cases the customer isn't choosing outsourcing over doing it themselves, instead they are forced into outsourcing because no other choices are options for them. And the outsourcers know it and if your given a captive market, aren't you going to bleed them dry? Virtually everyone else in the business, if they have an option of running their own modem pool, either because they have the money, or because they have the competence, they are going to do it. Providing dialup service is one of the fundamental products of an ISP and if they can't do even that, they are really in a bad way. And today the secondary market is full of terminal servers that you can pick up for a song, from all the failed ISP's from the late 90's. And today corporations are mostly doing VPN for road warriors and have tossed what dialup support they might have offered in the past. If I were in your shoes I would simply setup my own modem pool in my garage and incorporate, then sell the service to my employer at a fee. Why not, it's like being given free money. Once the pool is setup and running it consumes very little maintainence time. I know that commercial dialup wholesalers can blanket you with fancy business

Jails and filesystems
Fellow BSDers, I'm trying to figure out the best layout for multiple jails. I'd like to share binaries across jails - patches and packages only need to be installed once, and it saves a lot of space. So these directories would be shared and read-only: /bin /sbin /usr (except /usr/local/etc) /var/db/pkg And these would be private: /etc /usr/local/etc /var (except /var/db/pkg) The current plan is to move all the shared stuff into /shared, and mount it read-only into each jail with nullfs. Then /usr/local/etc is moved into /private. This is how it looks inside the jail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/3569/root # env - /usr/sbin/chroot `pwd` /usr/bin/login -f root Last login: Sat Jun 11 09:16:11 on tty??

I can't realy say what mp3 player is best, but check out the Iriver products, most of their mp3 players also support ogg vorbis, you are probably looking for an player with HD so check for the H300 series, www.iriver.com for more info Take notice that some of iRivers products don't come with USB Mass Storage as default, and need a firmware upgrade to support this. Without this support I do not believe that FreeBSD will recognize the unit as an external harddrive. With the UMS firmware, the iRiver units will lack some features, eg. the unit will start up slower, not support MP3 encoding at high bitrates, etc. I would advise anyone to check out these things before buying an iRiver. Thing might have changed with newer versions, thought. I have a 2GB iAUDIO5 myself, of which I am very satisfied. It playes Ogg Vorbis, but it also takes some time to turn on.

An upper layer where all changes are stored and a lower layer which is not writable through the upper layer. The option -b invert the position of these layers.

It's stored in the upper layer and from now you access your changed file only. The file exists in two different versions in both layers. (3) You don't need /usr/bin/gcc in your jail? Just delete it. The template remains untouched, but you can't access it now anymore; even not if you remount your unionfs. Please test the use of unionfs copiously. Read the manpage mount_unionfs(8), especially the BUGS section. I know some users which never had problems with unionfs and jails, but you should be careful with it nevertheless.

Hello everybody, I have a big problem on a FreeBSD 5.3 Box. It is an hosted server installed by an hosting service. But I didn't know what they smoke when they have installed the system but they sized the /var filesystem only to 200 MB which is not sufficient for my needs. I used an emergency solution which was to transfer some datas on /usr like databases but I am afraid that the problem will come back. So I am asking here if there is any solution to transfer free space from ./usr to /var. But there are some constraints : - I have no free unpartitioned space available - I can't format any partition because and I can't loose datas Is there any solution with some BSD tools in order to solve this problem ?

make installkernel fails instantly w/ signal 11
In an effort to get the simplest of compiled c++ programs (compiled with g++) to actually run without a segfault on my box I'm trying to update everything. So I cvsup'd src-all and ports-all. Then I did: make -j4 buildworld (which worked) make -DALWAYS_CHECK MAKE buildkernel (which also worked) However, then when I try to installkernel I get a signal 11 immediately as shown below. I've tried it in single user mode with the same result. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? I've read signal 11 is usually caused by hardware issues but it seems strange this box could build both world and kernel without any problems if that were the case. vitoc# cd /usr/src vitoc# pwd /usr/src vitoc# ls COPYRIGHT UPDATINGgnu rescue usr.bin LOCKS bin include sbinusr.sbin MAINTAINERS contrib kerberos5 secure Makefilecrypto lib share Makefile.inc1 etc libexec sys README games release tools vitoc# make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel -- Making hierarchy -- cd /usr/src; MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj MACHINE_ARCH=i386 MACHINE=i386 CPUTYPE= GROFF_BIN_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/bin GROFF_FONT_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/share/groff_font GROFF_TMAC_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/share/tmac PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/games:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/games:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make -f Makefile.inc1 hierarchy cd /usr/src/etc;/usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make distrib-dirs mtree -eU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist -p / mtree -eU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist -p /var *** Signal 11 Stop in /usr/src/etc. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. vitoc# I've literally done everything by the book but maybe I've missed something obvious to someone else? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

netgear wg311T and ath driver attaching

The problem there is that it'd be best to do the symlinking when the box was in single-user, and I doubt you have console access in the situation you describe. In should be possible, depending on the box's application, to kill the daemon(s) using said folder, mv the data to /usr, create the symlink and restart the daemon(s), but it's maybe a little touchy, as I said, depending on what you're moving and how many customers it would affect, etc. HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The ath0 interface then does not show up in ifconfig -a, because of the errors. So I'm not sure how, on a 5.4-RELEASE system, what you're suggesting could work. If the ath driver attached properly, yes, if_ath_load would in fact start my card automatically on boot, but the driver can't attach, so trying to attach on bootup isn't very helpful. So, the question still stands, i think - can i get this card working on a 5.4 release sytem, or do i have to use CURRENT or do something else? And if I can't get this working on current, the man page of ath REALLY needs to be updated, at the very least to specify that wg311v1 is supported, but not v2, like the OBSD man page does.

Well I've done a bit of research now and decided on a Logitech
Optical Trackman and given up on the idea of a tablet, the
serial ones cost around £400 and that's too much for the use
it'd get. Shame, I'd have enjoyed a new toy...
See if you can find a old Acecad Acecat Flair. It is serial but
works pretty decent.y
I'll keep an eye out. Shame about the Wacom USB ones (albeit
they're not cheap), they look pretty good. A case of the more you
see the more you want...
On a really positive note I have to retrain myself to use a scroll
wheel with the trackman optical cordless now I got it working. I'm
still going to the right every time I want to move down.
In fact the documentation or getting odd rodents working under X is
not well documented in the handbook. Anyone wanna take me up on
that in the doc list?
I just plugged my mouse in and it worked. AFAIK you don't have to do
any thing moused if it is started at boot time. You will have to mess
with X to get the scroll wheel working.
Section InputDevice
Identifier Mouse0
Driver mouse
Option Protocol auto
Option Device /dev/sysmouse
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
Hmm... I wonder if that is in the handbook...
Sadly it's not that simple. I agree that for most mice that should be
sufficient, however it looks as though the sysmouse mechanism doesn't
provide for a number of things when it's USB, when it's cordless (God
knows why that makes a difference,) etc.:
The section I've got in xorg.conf now looks like this:
Section ServerLayout
Identifier X.org Configured
Screen 0 Screen0 0 0
InputDeviceTouchpad CorePointer
InputDeviceUSBMouse AlwaysCore
InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard
EndSection
...
Section InputDevice
Identifier USBMouse
Driver mouse
Option Protocol Auto
Option Device /dev/ums0
Option Buttons 10
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
Option DragLockButtons 6
Option AngleOffset -7
EndSection
Section InputDevice
Identifier Touchpad
Driver mouse
Option Protocol Auto
Option Device /dev/psm0
Option Buttons 6
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7
EndSection
That seems to do it for X, but only if you disable moused, not only in
rc.conf, but also by commenting out the mouse line in usbd.conf as well,
otherwise X cannot communicate directly to the device in /dev and will
fail to start. E.g.;
# The entry below starts moused when a mouse is plugged in. Moused
# stops automatically (actually it bombs :) when the device disappears.
#
#device Mouse
# devname ums[0-9]+
# attach /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/${DEVNAME}
-I /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid -z 4 5 ; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on
Without doing this I can use the trackball, but not the scroll wheel.
Well it works for me anyway.

I have never used it directly. But now I have reason to learn MySQL and feel it would be appropriate to start with a newer version. I see there's 4.1 and 5.0. Even though it's beta, I'm inclined to just start with 5.0 since my data will not be super critical and quite small. Basically I want t make a product database and display it via web pages. There are less than 10,000 products. I also don't see more than 2 or 3 clients accessing it at one time. Maybe in an extreme case there might be 10 clients. Overall, pretty small. So what must I do to upgrade from 3.23 to something newer and keep Bacula happy. I've read the Bacula web site and it claims to work with 3.23 and higher. I've browsed the MySQL site and see instructions to upgrade from 3.23 to 4.0, 4.0 to 4.1, and upgrading to 5.0. However I'm sure I don't really need to upgrade in steps? Any guidance, advice, and/or links to tutorials would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Drew I like mysqldump for easy to recreate backups: $ mysqldump sometable sometable.sql To restore, you need to add a statement to the top of the file, like use sometable. Then: $ mysqladmin create cometable and, finally: $mysql sometable.sql And everything should be good to go. Thanks for the tip. It gives me somewhere to start. Sorry I'm not much more help. I use portupgrade and/or portmanager to keep things somewhat up to date, but I don't know if there would be any gotchas with that and Bacula or not. I'd tend to think that as long as I had all my databases backed up, I could uninstall 323 and install something from the 4X or 5X line and not have too many issues. Me too. portupgrade is a great tool. I agree that if I have the databases backed up, I should be able to restore. This is just my home system so if the worst happened and I lost my complete bacula database, it still wouldn't be the end of the world (unless my hard drive crashed before I got bacula running again). You might want to learn a little about using the MySQL monitor itself, first, in 3.23; a little knowledge of MySQL syntax would add to your confidence in restoring the data, I would think . . . I've fiddled around with MySQL a little so far. Webmin provides an easy interface to administering MySQL users, databases, etc. and that has been very helpful. Now I just have to learn what real commands Webmin calls when performing these functions. I suspect it uses mysqladmin.

I am using the Creative Zen Touch (40gb for ~$280 US), and had excellent luck with it. Using gnomad2, you can store data or mp3s on it, but it is fairly slow to load the local directories of music since it does not just generate a list of filenames, it also scans the ID3 tags and determines song length, etc. Using USB1.1 it is also quite slow to transfer songs to the Zen Touch, and I have not yet had the opportunity to try USB2.0, though the Zen Touch supports it. It does not, however, support Ogg Vorbis or other formats, only MP3, WMA, and WAV. The optional remote control (~$50 US) adds FM radio, voice recording, and recording from the radio. Sound quality is superb, and battery life is reported as 24hrs, with many users regularly seeing 20+hrs in real use. -- Christopher Black Chief Security Engineer Secure Crossing 22750 Woodward Suite 304 - Ferndale, MI 48220 Tel (800) 761-4299 | Direct (248) 658-6120 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.securecrossing.com signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: error when trying to install mysql 4.1.12

Re: netgear wg311T and ath driver attaching
I'm attempting to use the netgear wg311T card, which I bought since the ath man page and docs said it is supported under FBSD. I'm using the 5.4 release. I did: cd /sys/modules/ath; make; make install kldload if_ath and dmesg presents: ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xdf00-0xdf00 irq 18 at device 8.0 on pci1 ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13 device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6 Which, from googling, seems to indicate the driver in -CURRENT will probably work. Is this true? If so, is it possible to just download/compile the ath driver from -CURRENT? If so, how? Or should I be able to make this work on a release system? I use the CardBus version of this model under RELENG_5 for two months now. It is not perfect (stability link status), but it works correctly most of the time: $ grep -i ath0 /var/run/dmesg.boot ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0x8800-0x8800 irq 18 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 4.6 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:0f:b5:a0:fb:43 ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps Maybe is it related to the PCI version (any user here?). -- -jpeg. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I open a root terminal on my Mac and issue mount_nfs moe:/usr/ local/www /Volumes/Storage/TMP, I get Permission Denied. On the FreeBSD machine, I see NFS request from unprivileged port (192.168.254.3:52514).

What is 5.4 p2 ?
and more curious. I updated one of my systems to 5.4 p2 today Being a newcomer to FreeBSD, I understand about Release version, STABLE version and CURRENT one. But I don't understand this p2 you are refering to. I could guess it means point release 2, so I checked: http://www.freebsd.org/where.html But files seems to be for 5.4-RELEASe still from May 8.

Setting a simple firewall for PPPoE connection

I had in mind of activating a firewall for my PPPoE connection a bit like it is easy to do on Windows XP. So I began reading the handbook and found that there is mainly 3 different firewalls, and this put me with the problem of choosing one. IPFW seems to have default rules that would at first glance make it easy (would choose client setup for me). But then reading through /etc/rc.firewall I concluded that I had to set my IP address in it. But my ISP set it dynamically with PPPoE, so I did not know what to do next. So I thought that reading the ppp man page (yes, I use userland ppp program, but I think that there is a pppoed somewhere that I maybe should use instead), there is some kind of firewall rules that can be set inside ppp.conf. But I did not convince myself that it would help me with the fact that my IP address is dynamic. Now, maybe I can use 127.0.0.1 like you did in step 4 above, but I don't really understand these rules yet. It looks like to me the first one accept HTTP traffic (port 80) and that the second one accept every traffic. I would have expected that the second one would refuse every traffic, leaving only traffic from the first rule to go through. But the main question is: How to deal with dynamic IP address when writing firewall rules? -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Accessible with your email software or over the web ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Oops?! As you can see I answered a question about transparent proxying - which is interesting, too, but quite a different topic. I had in mind of activating a firewall for my PPPoE connection a bit like it is easy to do on Windows XP. There exists a very simple way to activate a firewall in freebsd: # /stand/sysinstall will open FreeBSD's installation menu. - Configure - Security - Security Profile gives you two options for standard firewalls. Now, maybe I can use 127.0.0.1 like you did in step 4 above, but I don't really understand these rules yet. It looks like to me the first one accept HTTP traffic (port 80) and that the second one accept every traffic. I would have expected that the second one would refuse every traffic, leaving only traffic from the first rule to go through. As I said: this is a setup for a transparent proxy, not a security firewall. It just catches all http requests (port 80) and forces them to check Squid's cache. Squid is the proxy-program.

Re: PCI Firewire cards that work with 5.4R ??
On Friday 10 June 2005 10:10 pm, Bob Johnson wrote: I need to find a PCI FireWire card that will work with FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. It will be easiest for me to purchase something from Best Buy, which pretty much limits me to either a Dynex DX-FC103, or an Adaptec AFW-4300CS. I've received no replies on this, but after some digging I found some additional information. The Dynex card uses an Agere FW323-06 Firewire chip, which is not listed as supported by the fwohci driver. I can't tell what chipset the Adaptec card uses: it has an Adaptec paper label on it. Agere used to be the Lucent Microelectronics division, so I assume the Agere FW323-06 is the essentially the same thing as the Lucent FW323, which is listed as supported by the fwohci driver. Perhaps tomorrow I'll remember to submit a PR suggesting that the hardware list be updated to reflect the name change, but tonight I need to get some sleep. I also found a posting on freebsd-firewire that said the Adaptec FireConnect 4300 works with FreeBSD. Can anyone tell me if either of these cards will work with 5.4-RELEASE, or recommend another inexpensive PCI Firewire card? It sounds like either of these will probably work with FreeBSD 5.4. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
