RE: Three questions...
Q1: I have two drives, laid out as follows: Drive 1 /ad0a WinXP, NTFS, 16.06GB, primary /ad0e data, NTFS, 12.58GB, extended Drive 2 /ad1a currently empty, 14.36GB, primary (installation target) /ad1e /ad0 backup, NTFS, 14.27GB, extended I'd like to use XP's NTLDR to manage the dual boot process. I've seen the following trick for Linux ( www.redhat.com/advice/tips/dualboot.html): - Boot into Linux, copy the first sector of the boot partition as follows: dd if=/dev/hdb of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 - Move bootsect.lnx to WinXP root (C:\), and add the following line to boot.ini: C:\bootsect.lnx=Linux Does this approach work with FreeBSD? Logic says it should, given the similarities, but when has logic applied consistently to computers? As I understand, you try to install from the second hard disk. When I last tried this (using FreeBSD 4) it did not work such way, because I found that in FreeBSD's boot sector code the drive number is hard-coded. So you would have to go to the source directory, change the drive number, assemble the boot sector and put it to drive C. This worked for me.

RE: Can't access to gmail (maybe a port problem with ipfw)
Hi everybody. I'm trying to access gmail from my FreeBSD box (5.4). I'm usinf IPFW. The question is I can acces if I set ipfw to accept all from any to any, so I know there's a port that should be opened to access the main page of gmail. When the firewall is up (allowing only traffic through ports 21, 80 and above 1024) I can't even acces gmail main page (mozilla simply ignores the address I give it) Post your firewall configuration. You should at least have a rule to allow any tcp from your box to the world. Here is an fragment from my home computer's firewall rules: ... pass tcp from any to any established # allow established tcp connections pass ip from any to any frag # allow fragmented segments pass tcp from me to any setup # allow me to setup tcp connections pass udp from me to any keep-state# allow me to setup udp-connections ... This alone won't work, if you want your box to forward traffic from other hosts in your local net.

RE: Question on Routing
Quagga, which is the successor to Zebra, is what you use for BGP. However to speak BGP you must have an AS number. And for your advertisements to be worth a damn on the Internet, they have to be a minimum of a /24 since just about every transit ISP in the Internet filters route advertisements that are smaller than a /24, (such as a /25, /26, etc.) A /24 is 255 IP addresses. Also one other thing, even if you have a /24 and you succeed in advertising it, it is almost impossible to get bordering ISP's that are evenly matched. One of them will always be better connected than everyone else, and thus most traffic to you will come in on that link, since everyone routes traffic based on the shortest AS path length. Larger ISP's that have big allocations handle this problem by splitting up the advertisements on those allocations into smaller blocks, then divying those up with AS prepends. For example an ISP with a /19 might advertise it as 4 /21's, and on one feed might prepend 2 of the /21's and not prepend the other 2, and on another feed might prepend 1 of the /21's and not any of the others, etc. etc. There's a lot of experimentation to get a load properly balanced. I am guessing that if you don't already know that RIP isn't a routing protocol used to publish routes on the Internet, that you don't have much IP address space. I think you will find the costs to publish your routes will be an eye-opener.

RE: Logo contest status?
What you are missing is that it is imperative to have this contest judging held in secret. If this was an open contest, with publically available submissions, and a defined end date, then the result might actually have some credibility. As it is now, the obvious conclusion to be drawn here is that the contest organizers have not been forthcoming with results simply because they don't care for any of the images submitted so far, and are hoping that if they wait long enough, an image will come along they like. It really doesen't have anything to do with how good or poor the artistry of the submitted designs are, nor does it have anything to do with how well the userbase likes the submissions. The contest is nothing more than a cover for 1 or 2 people with sticks up their butts against Beastie to pull the pants down on the rest of us who don't have a problem with Beastie. I just hope that when they get what they want, that they take their religion and stuff it back into whatever church they pulled it out of, and get back to work adding useful code and such to FreeBSD. For, it would surely be sad if those few Beastie-haters could only count as their major FreeBSD achievement the dislodging of Beastie.

I'm sure we would object if someone drew a 'devil' image and associated it with FreeBSD. Oh, you must think yourself very clever for that bit of deliberate misinterpretation. I hope you don't let it go to your head. On a more serious note, the userbase is objecting to certain members of The Project wanting to jettison the daemon image, and replace it with an image of a stuffed Teddy Bear (or something equally politically correct) so in the absense of the Project having much respect for what the userbase wants in the area of FreeBSD images, you can hardly expect the userbase to have much respect for what the Project wants in the area of FreeBSD images, now can you? The phrase daemon image in the context of a sentence about FreeBSD carries a very specific connotation of one of Kirks images, that image that I mentioned in my prior post. (and is in fact at the top of the FreeBSD project webpage) If I had said: Nothing is stopping someone from drawing a daemon image that would have been interpreted as advocating copyright infringement due to the connotation, because it would have been read as making a likeness that is very similar to Beastie. It would have been incorrect since that was not what I meant. However, what I said gets the idea across that the image I'm talking about would be closer to one of the daemons that are on the USENIX copyrighted images that were linked. Thus not infringing on Kirk's image, yet still getting the daemon association across. (not devil association) Actually, it is ironic that over the years that Kirk's image has been so strongly identified with FreeBSD. The agitators in the FreeBSD project that want to jettison it are falling all over themselves to carefully explain how that image really isn't a logo for FreeBSD, and really isn't so strongly identified with FreeBSD. Yet we all know different, as your post admits - since if Kirk's beastie image wasn't identified as the FreeBSD logo image by the userbase, you never would have jumped to Beastie's defense. But if in fact a succession of beastie images had been in current use, instead of Kirks one very fine image, it would have diluted the shock value of the Beastie image, and probably would have removed the main objection the anti-Beastie group has to the strong identification of a Devil to FreeBSD. (since it would be expected that people would use whatever imagery they preferred, rather than toeing the line to use the One True Beastie image that Kirk copyrighted) Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Daemon, Devil... woops!
This is a long rambling. Please feel free to ignore any or all of it. I'm a bit frustrated, and this is me getting my frustrations out. Okay, look... I'm new at this. I haven't ever even USED FreeBSD before a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm being expected (mostly by my new staff) to configure servers. And here I am, looking at the logo, and thinking it's a devil. Well, I can be wrong, even if I am the CEO. It doesn't happen a lot, but hey... it's a daemon. It looks a little bit like a little devil. One of my guys has a tee-shirt that roughly resembles the Intel Inside logo, and it said Devil Inside and has a BSD logo on the reverse of the shirt. So, naturally, I figured it was a devil. The whole concept of the operating system seems pretty straightforward when it's explained to me, but practical application... well, that's another thing altogether. All I know is that I have 4 boxes in front of me, 3 x86 boxes with loads of RAM and one x64 box with too much RAM (I've threatened to donate the Micron RAM several times... and I know just the place to look for who needs a donation of a 1GB stick or two of DDR RAM... so if any of my guys are on this list, you'd better take note: I'm miffed about your not explaining the whole daemon/devil issue to me). As far as political correctness, why not adopt a scantily-clad female in black leather? Or... or... red. Red! Yes, red. Red is a good color. With... a whip. Or something. BSD: Binding Souls, One At A Time... riiight. I mean, really... a logo depicting a daemon, or even a devil, is just a logo. It's not like the Son of the Morning Star is a member of the board, or even an executive. It's not like everyone involved with the project are Satanists (well, trying to configure the systems with no real prior *ix experience has made me say you were all evil so-and-so's a few times, but that's not the same thing). It's not even as if you actively promote anything other than a different mode of thought. I've even got my girlfriend's reaction that the daemon is cute (to use her word for it). I will say this, however: the use of religious iconography in business is nothing new. We've been doing it for more than the past century to sell religious items, as well as a host of unrelated things (like tee-shirts, for example). There was an old country-western song that said something about God, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz, and more recently there was that song about What if God Was One of Us that had the religious right up in arms. The religious fanatics in the world find a lot of things to gripe about. And it's not just Christians, either. The religious fanatics of al-Q'aida have said for YEARS that the United States is an evil, money-grubbing lot. Not all of us are evil, but I will say that a lot of us tend to focus a little too much on money. I'm of the opinion that fighting extremism with conformity is tantamount to surrender.

I'm still tapping away on my Windows machine to get business done (it's where all of the software that I've learned to use and been brainwashed to love is based), and I'm fiddling with four BSD boxes, trying to get them to work. Amazingly, the manuals are entirely helpful (as opposed to Microsoft, who wants to put 24 pages into a printed manual where a 3-5 leaf pamphlet would work fine... not that my post in this case is much different than that in paradigm). I'm still having problems, but my guys laugh and just point at the manuals on my Windows screen and the book that one of them brought and tell me to keep reading. Which I do.

It is running 4.11 primarily because anything later can't see my hard drive. As background, my FBSD machine has an address of 192.168.1.110. It is situated behind a hardware firewall (a Linksys router). $pif is vr0. I'm having problems setting up IPFW to communicate with an Onion router. The puzzling part is that I am able to use the Onion router but my /var/log/security file says that some of the packets are being dropped. Following is what I hope are the pertinent lines from my /etc/ipfw.rules file: $cmd 00225 allow tcp from me to any 9001-9033 out via $pif setup keep-state $cmd 00299 deny log all from me to any out via $pif $cmd 00332 deny log tcp from any to me established in via $pif Next is an excerpt from the /var/log/security file: Jul 17 21:49:58 JimsP1G /kernel: ipfw: 299 Deny TCP 192.168.1.110:2218 128.148.34.133:9001 out via vr0 Jul 17 21:49:59 JimsP1G /kernel: ipfw: 299 Deny TCP 192.168.1.110:4959 131.175.189.134:9001 out via vr0 Jul 17 21:50:18 JimsP1G /kernel: ipfw: 332 Deny TCP 128.148.34.133:9001 192.168.1.110:2218 in via vr0 Jul 17 21:50:29 JimsP1G /kernel: ipfw: 332 Deny TCP 131.175.189.134:9030 192.168.1.110:4566 in via vr0 Now my questions. First, why isn't rule 225 allowing all the packets out to the Onion router? It seems to me that ipfw should allow all packets in the port range 9001-9033 out or none. Rule 225 will only match packets used to setup the tcp session, once it's established you need another rule that will allow the established session to function. Rule 299 is denying everything from leaving your machine except for the packets allowed by rule 225. It appears that I didn't include enough of the ipfw.rules file. Following is another abstract: # # Allow the packet through if it has previous been added to the # the dynamic rules table by a allow keep-state statement. # $cmd 00015 check-state It's my understanding that this rule allows through any returning packets that match the dynamic rule established by Rule 225. Next, the two inbound packets should be returning in response to an outbound packet. Why are they being dropped? Are they exceeding some timeout? Rule 332 is denying all established traffic from entering your machine. So, while rule 225 allows you to establish a tcp session with another system on ports 9001-9033, once the session is established, rule 225 no longer applies and rule 332 is then throwing all those packets away. -Glenn Part of my problem is that I don't understand the protocols being used by the Onion routers. It appears that Tor (the application on my machine that sets up the communication with the Onion routers) begins to communicate with the Onion routers as soon as it starts. This communication continues as long as the FBSD machine is alive. Really shook me up when I first started using Tor and Privoxy. I thought someone was hacking my machine :-) The really puzzling thing about this situation is that at least some of the messages concerning the Onion protocol are getting through. I can ask for www.google.com and sometimes it resolves to Google in Europe, sometimes to Google in Asia, and sometines to Google here in the US. Ipfw appears to be only dropping some of the packets. Perhaps I should set up another machine to sniff the packets that occur. Maybe that would give me an idea of what is happening with the Onion protocol. In any event, thanks for your input to my problem, and if you have any other ideas I would appreciate them very much. I've been chewing on this problem the better part of a week.

Re: Re[2]: Real IP under NAT
Chuck, pf can do this: Bidirectional Mapping (1:1 mapping) A bidirectional mapping can be established by using the binat rule. A binat rule establishes a one to one mapping between an internal IP address and an external address. This can be useful, for example, to provide a web server on the internal network with its own external IP address. Connections from the Internet to the external address will be translated to the internal address and connections from the web server (such as DNS requests) will be translated to the external address. TCP and UDP ports are never modified with binat rules as they are with nat rules. Example: web_serv_int = 192.168.1.100 web_serv_ext = 24.5.0.6 binat on tl0 from $web_serv_int to any - $web_serv_ext http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/nat.html Blake On 7/18/05, DerAlSem [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Chuck, Monday, July 18, 2005, 7:16:38 PM, you wrote: DerAlSem wrote: [ ... ] I've 5 external (real) IP, one is assigned on external if.

But if you simply want to set up a small DMZ where the hosts are not doing NAT but just using routable IP's, that's trivial: set gateway_enable in /etc/rc.conf, and away you go.

problem with setup of dns on freebsd-5.4

rcNG issue
Hello, I have a problem with my rcNG scripts. There are three scripts: named.sh, apache2.sh and proftpd.sh. Apache and ProFTPd require hostname resolving thus named should start firstly. The headers of my scripts are: named.sh: #!/bin/sh # # PROVIDE: named # REQUIRE: SERVERS # BEFORE: apache2 proftpd mysqld # KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown . /etc/rc.subr apache2.sh: #!/bin/sh # # PROVIDE: apache2 # REQUIRE: NETWORKING SERVERS named # BEFORE: DAEMON # KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown . /etc/rc.subr proftpd.sh: #!/bin/sh # # PROVIDE: proftpd # REQUIRE: DAEMON # BEFORE: LOGIN # KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown . /etc/rc.subr And when I enable all the three scripts in rc.conf, the apache hangs because it can't resolve the computer's hostname. It's really annoying, I have to manually start it after a reboot, or wait for the cronscript that checks whether it is running. What's wrong?

I have performed this procedure before (many, many times) on Linux using both LILO and GRUB, but I can't seem to get my head around the FreeBSD bootloader. All I would expect you have to do is use FDISK to make two partitions, remembering to mark the first one as bootable. Then use disklabel to create your slices. Make a /boot slice on the first partition, then make a / slice and a swap slice on the second partition. That should be all that's required for what you're trying to do. A little over a year ago, I had to split up a drive to solve the same problem you're having, but I went the small / route instead, so you might be running into a problem I didn't have.

If you are sure that all the necessary hardware is supported under 4.11, and you're not going to want the server to do anything new in the future, then I'd stick with 4.11 since your app might like it better. Security patches should keep coming for some time (2007?). You say 5.4 is updated more than 4.11. I do not think that is particularly true if you track -RELENG_5_4 (vs -RELENG_4_11) as opposed to tracking, say -STABLE. For a locked down server, not even all security updates will need immediate action. You can always hedge your bets and (if your disk is big enough) leave a bunch of free space in a slice that you can later use to update to 5.X if you need to. That will also leave 4.11 around if you change your mind.

The 3DLabs Wildcat Realizm 800 video card is a little high-end, I think, approaching vertical. If an engineer wants that video rendering card in a BSD box, he can bloody well write the driver himself. Which would be fine with most engineers, if the hardware people would release enough documentation to make it possible. This is not strictly a *BSD problem (although some kernel support is needed for 3D direct rendering). Most UNIXes these days use the Xorg X server. Any card that has a driver in Xorg works on all OSs that run Xorg. Xorg includes open source 3D direct rendering drivers for Matrox G200, G400, G450 and G550, ATI Radeon (up to 9250 aka RV280), SiS 300/305, 540 and 630. And some older cards like the 3dfs Voodoo and Banshee. There is a binary only driver for NVidia cards, but it's x86 only.

First, why isn't rule 225 allowing all the packets out to the Onion router? It seems to me that ipfw should allow all packets in the port range 9001-9033 out or none. Rule 225 will only match packets used to setup the tcp session, once it's established you need another rule that will allow the established session to function. Rule 299 is denying everything from leaving your machine except for the packets allowed by rule 225. It appears that I didn't include enough of the ipfw.rules file. Following is another abstract: # # Allow the packet through if it has previous been added to the # the dynamic rules table by a allow keep-state statement. # $cmd 00015 check-state It's my understanding that this rule allows through any returning packets that match the dynamic rule established by Rule 225. Next, the two inbound packets should be returning in response to an outbound packet. Why are they being dropped? Are they exceeding some timeout? Rule 332 is denying all established traffic from entering your machine. So, while rule 225 allows you to establish a tcp session with another system on ports 9001-9033, once the session is established, rule 225 no longer applies and rule 332 is then throwing all those packets away. -Glenn Part of my problem is that I don't understand the protocols being used by the Onion routers. It appears that Tor (the application on my machine that sets up the communication with the Onion routers) begins to communicate with the Onion routers as soon as it starts. This communication continues as long as the FBSD machine is alive. Really shook me up when I first started using Tor and Privoxy. I thought someone was hacking my machine :-) The really puzzling thing about this situation is that at least some of the messages concerning the Onion protocol are getting through. I can ask for www.google.com and sometimes it resolves to Google in Europe, sometimes to Google in Asia, and sometines to Google here in the US. Ipfw appears to be only dropping some of the packets. Perhaps I should set up another machine to sniff the packets that occur. Maybe that would give me an idea of what is happening with the Onion protocol.

Friendly Request
Hi All, I am hoping you may be able to help with a little input. I am looking to build a resource of the following ; 1) Step by Step Tutorials on various server / service related topics (for example How to build an FTP server on FreeBSD or How to Build an streaming MP3 JukeBox with Apache etc) It can be on any topic / service. A short description and link would be nice :) (I am particularly aiming at the keen but green admin like myself :) Even outdated but still relevent articles will do ! Anything which you have found to be useful / invaluable yourself :) 2) OSS Projects that I might not of heard / know about that do a good job of replacing proprietry software. For example there is software that does similar job to M$ Project - but I cant find it now and have forgotten what it is called? Anything you have to contribute - thanks! (Anyone know any electronics IC / Logic Modelling software ?) Anyway, it can be office software or music or games or well, anything you know and use or have tried. Thanks for your time !

Auto Reboot on Panic?
Hi, I have recently installed FreeBSD 5.3 on a Dell Poweredge 650 server, and it has panicked twice in the past 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the box is in a server room for which I don't have a key, and access can take hours. I would like the box to dump core and reboot on a panic. I think I have set the box up to do this, but on the last panic it didn't reboot. I followed the information at http://www.bsdatwork.com/2002/03/29/system_panics_part_1/, and I have compiled a kernel with makeoptions DEBUG=-g, options KDB, options KDB_UNATTENDED. /etc/rc.conf has these lines: dumpdev=/dev/ad6s1b, dumpdir=/usr/local/var/crash. The box has 768M of RAM, ad6s1b has at least that much space, and is configured as swap. Can anybody tell me what I have forgotten to do to make the box reboot on a panic?

Courier-IMAPD problem with fam(d)

Then other times Mail.app can't hold a connection. Elsewhere found a suggestion that the following in my FreeBSD-hosted Maildir would help, but has not: % cd Maildir % ln -s . .INBOX % ln -s . .INBOX. Just now when I deleted the above symbolic links, my mail downloaded altho there is another of the above imapd error messages in maillog, apparently one for each mailbox message downloaded. When ever Mail.app gets stuck it seems like all is needed is for the mailbox directory to change somehow, or a message or two downloaded, deleted or something, then Mail.app is perfectly happy. Bulk in maillog is nothing but a nuisance. Failed connection is worse. How the heck is fam supposed to be configured?

Weirdness with sfte, screen, and FreeBSD.
Hi,
When I run sfte (20050108) inside of GNU screen (4.00.02) in FreeBSD
(5.4-RELEASE-p2), I get some strange and irritating behaviour. If I hit
alt-f to get the File menu, then press the right arrow key to move to the
next menu over (Navigate in the directory view), then that portion of the
screen that WAS covered by the file menu but IS NOT covered by the Navigate
menu has its colors screwed up. What WAS high-intensity-white on dark blue
becomes black (or dark gray, hard to tell) on green. What WAS
high-intensity-white on black becomes black (or dark gray) on dark blue.
What WAS light gray on black becomes dark gray on black. And so on. If I
then press the right-arrow-key again to move to the Tools menu, the
problem becomes progressively worse. Dark gray becomes blue, blue becomes
light green, light green becomes cyan, etc. etc. Eventually what was
covered by any of the menus becomes a real colourful mess. In case this
description is not clear, I've uploaded a clip of a screen grab that
demonstrates the problem after pressing right-arrow a bunch of times with an
open menu:

I have tried to understand terminals and consoles and termcap and terminfo
but I have to say, the concepts escape me. The only other slang program I
generally use is Mutt, which works like gangbusters. I don't even know
where to begin looking at this. Here are some environment variables that

I don't know what other information to include. I get the problem both
using Putty to SSH in and at the console. Outside of GNU screen sfte works
like a charm. Note that in order to get sfte to build on FreeBSD, I had to
link it to both libslang and libncurses (and perform other minor surgery on
the port, viz. comment out USE_XLIBS and change fte-unix.mak to build sfte
instead of xfte since I neither have nor want X installed).
Pardon the cross-post but I really don't know which piece of software might
be at fault. Any information or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: /boot on a separate partition

I'd love to be proved wrong :-) I think this is exactly the case. According to the boot(8) man page, you can create a /boot.config that will allow you to customize things. The only catch being that /boot.config has to be on the a partition of the slice you are booting from. Normally the a partition would be / and also contain /boot. Yes, /boot.config does look like a bit of a showstopper :-( I take it there's no way to get the bootloader to look elsewhere for that? I'm sure there is a way, the question is whether it's worth the trouble. / defaults to being 256MB. If you're trying to conserve space, it might be easier to run through an install and see how big / really needs to be and then do a second install and customize the size of / so that it only has the space it really needs. (On one of my 5.4 systems / requires about 53MB) You may have problems later on if you make the size of / too small. -Glenn That's what I'm going for now. 100MB in / and the rest of the disk given to /usr and swap. Bit of pain really, I thought the whole idea of keeping the bootloader files in /boot was so that /boot could be a separate partition. Not sure about that...I always figured it was to keep / from getting too cluttered. -Glenn Ross -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC3GbK9bR4xmappRARAsL/AKCq23vmsTKiPKexsFZWF33/G38LlwCgiAh4 wKtAoiMVJw+p2SpBoM+DaNg= =z84k -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ppp: auth_ReadName: Name too long !
Hi all, Whenever I try to establish a ppp connection either automatically or manually on 5.4R, I get warning: auth_Readname: Name too lomg (112) ! It looks something like this (obvously I replaced the username, but it's exactly 6 characters long before the @): pppset device PPPoE:sis0 pppset authname [EMAIL PROTECTED] pppset authkey xx pppdial ppp Ppp Warning: auth_ReadName: Name too long (112) !. If I use auto mode, then the warning just appears in the logs and also in pppctl.. It seems that anything ending in bmts.com causes the error, because if I shorten the name before the @ (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), it stills gives the warning, but if I shorten it after the @ (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), the warning doesn't occur. I googled it and found just one single post from someone with the same problem as me, and no replies.. (Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I tried the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc newsgroup, but no luck there either.. Below is an excerpt from /var/log/ppp.log: Jul 3 17:03:41 xena ppp[465]: Phase: PPP Started (interactive mode).
