Bootstrapping Raid 5 w/GEOM

However, most of the binary files in /usr/local/bin are from packages/ports you have installed on your system. So you may be able to get away with using portupgrade(/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) to re-install those packages and therefore restoring some if not all of /usr/local/bin. Do a portupgrade -f -a which forces portupgrade to re-install all packages/ports you have currently installed. Good luck.

sendmail/DNS problem in FreeBSD 5
I recently did a reinstall of FreeBSD on my web server (hard drive died) and I decided to upgrade from 4.11 to 5.4. Anyway everything is working fine except for this odd sendmail issue. So the info.

Now for my domain the internal setup is that the MX record for dalegroup.net points to extranet.dalegroup.net. Which is fine. But whenever I send mail from the web server to say [EMAIL PROTECTED] it cannot do a lookup.

On a similar thread, does anyone know of any dns server software that
would serve different IPs depending on where the query/request comes
from?
i.e., - resolve www.mydomain.com to the IP of my server in AU for all
clients querying from AU,JP and HK. Everyone else should get the IP
for my server in US.
It may be possible to use BIND9 feature of allowing certain IP ranges
to only query certain zone files.
ah yes, i had forgotten of this feature... but...
The only issue I foresee is having to have slightly different zone
names that you wish to serve for each IP range.
I think that having different zone names would defeat the purpose of
what I have in mind.
The way I can imagine this working is that in the function (object?)
where BIND resolves name to IP, it'd do a IP-to-country lookup, match
that to a country-to-dns table and serve the appropiate IP. A fallback
for all records should be provided so that only the special cases
('geotargetted' DNS resolutions) would have to be defined.
I hope it makes sense.

Dump/Tape blocks question
I have a question about dump and tape blocks. When I do backups, dump tells me it uses a certain number of blocks for that particular backup. I explicitly set my block size to 65K when I do a dump. When I read the SCSI or hardware block location on the tape after the dump, it's nowhere near the same number as what dump said it used. How big is each block? I'd like to know about where on the tape I am when I do an 'mt rdhpos' command (but I don't know how to determine the reported block size), and I'd like to be able to calculate how much data was written for each backup based on the number of blocks dumped (I assume these blocks are the size I specify on the dump command line). In fact, how can I calculate how many blocks my tape can hold? (i.e. What is the biggest block number an 'mt rdhpos' or 'mt rdspos' will report for my tape?) Of course, an obvious solution to the last question is to write enough data to fill the tape and then check the output of 'mt rdhpos'. I'd rather not spend the hours needed and the unneeded wear on the tape to figure that out. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So if I understand you right, this may work (for FreeBSD 5.x): # mkdir /tinderbox # mount_nullfs /usr/tinderbox /tinderbox # echo '/tinderbox -ro -alldirs -maproot=0:0 any_local_or_remote_host' /etc/exports An other way to export /usr/tinderbox and all sub-directories is to specify _all_ of them in /etc/exports but w/o the -alldirs switch, e.g.: /usr/tinderbox /usr/tinderbox/dirA /usr/tinderbox/dirB -ro -maproot=0:0 any_host See also the FreeBSD handbook chapter about nfs.

suicidally ambitious compilation?

[Jail] Setting default route in Jail?
Hello All, My setup looks like this: The FreeBSD machine have a public range IP address, and I set up a couple of jails with private range IP addresses (192.168.x.x) on the same box. The private range ip adresses are set up as aliases, using the procedure as described in the jail(8) man page. All works fine, except for the fact that from within the jails I do not have internet connectivity as the default route is the same as my jail hosts default route. For this to work I would have to be able to set my default route in the jail environment to the IP address of my jail host and enable the jail host as a gateway. The problem is that you are not allowed to set the default route inside of the jail, and currently this default route is the default route of the jail host. I am sure other people must have had this problem before and found a solution. :) Anybody know any workrounds? Or maybe a better way to set this up? Thank you in advance! ---Jaco ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: /etc/exports - a strange restriction
Sergey Matveychuk wrote: Norbert Koch wrote: /usr/tinderbox -ro -alldirs -maproot=0:0 localhost As far as I know, it is a restriction of the nfs specification. If you only want to export a single directory, you could e.g. use mount_null/mount_nullfs(8). Well, in my example remote host is localhost. But if I need to share files on a network? I've made a quick look at RFC1813 but could not find this restriction. But why this restriction anyway for? It's very unconvenient. NFS exports filesystems, not directory trees. NFS permits you to mount a subdirectory of an export/share, but you cannot mount two child directories of a share if those directories are ancestors of one another. It's easier to mount the root of an export/share, and then use symlinks on the local drive to reference the portion of the hierarchy that you want to use. Rely on filesystem permissions to control access, assuming you trust root on the client machine. (If you don't trust root on the client machine, then you probably shouldn't be using NFS at all.)

Gaining access to disks made inaccessible
I have made my machine unbootable. I installed FreeBSD on ad0s2, a partition of one physical hard drive. I put most of my working data on ad1s2, a partition of another much larger hard drive. I then created links from /home, /etc, and /usr to the second drive. This worked well until the power outages. The second drive was always sufficiently well corrupted that it refused to be mounted. Because fstab failed, booting quit. This was cured by fsck but I was hoping to run the machine headless as good discipline for a real server so I had to grab the keyboard from another machine in a geometrically compromised setting and use it. To forestall this problem, I edited fstab to make the second disk noauto. At the very next power outage, it started booting and did quite well at it until it tried to grab a terminal from /usr. This was linked to the now unmounted disk. I had no obvious way of getting a command prompt to mount the disk. I stumbled on the Fixit disk and it was fun but after fsck it could find only lost+found on the drive and never could mount the first drive (bad superblock). I couldn't even fsck it. Is there some way to get at either /etc/fstab or to rearrange all those links so that I can get everything? All I want is access to / on the first disk. From there I should be able to rearrange things so the machine is usable and then I can mess it up in a new way. I think in the future, I'll have /usr in the directory where I mount the second drive. That way it will be there until I place the new one over it. If that doesn't work, I think I'll just have only /home on the second drive and live with it.

Not true. Zone *files*, yes. Because of the wonderfulness that is NAT, my
LAN's nameserver gives different answers based on whether the query comes
from the LAN or the Internet. My named.conf looks similar to:
view private {
match-clients {
!127.0.0.1;
!::1;
localhost;
lan;
};
zone honeypot.net {
type master;
file internal/db.honeypot.net;

};
view public {
match-clients { any };
zone honeypot.net {
type master;
file external/db.honeypot.net;
};
};
Then, my zone files looks like:
internal/db.honeypot.net:
$INCLUDE ../common-stuff
www IN A 10.5.0.32
external/db.honeypot.net:
$INCLUDE ../common-stuff
www IN A 12.34.56.78
common-stuff:
@ IN SOA ...
www IN A 2001:470:1f01:224:1::2
and so on
So, the Internet and my LAN see mostly the same data, except for a few
records that get answered with different values.

All works fine, except for the fact that from within the jails I do not have internet connectivity as the default route is the same as my jail hosts default route. For this to work I would have to be able to set my default route in the jail environment to the IP address of my jail host and enable the jail host as a gateway.

I want to place the /boot directory in a small 25MB partition at the start of the drive. Setting up the partition with sysinstall is easy enough, but does anyone have any suggestions of how to diddle the bootloader to accept this configuration? I doubt you can on FreeBSD. The problem is that the OS would have to mount both / and /boot before it could do anything, and FreeBSD doesn't do that. It assumes the partition that you are loading from is '/', and uses that to find (for instance) /etc/fstab so it can find out what the other partitions are. I would have though that putting '/sbin/mount /boot' at the start of the /etc/rc would sort that out. Surely the contents of /lib, /bin and /sbin are enough to get you that far? The kernel has to be loaded *first*. Yes, by the bootloader, which _can_ read /boot :-) I think I misunderstood Garance's post. I took it to mean that given /, the kernel has no way to find /boot, which seems untrue to me. Re-reading it, I think he meant that given /boot (which the kernel assumes is /) it has no way to find the correct /. Bear in mind that my experience is with Linux, where the location of / is given on the kernel's command line (or hardcoded into the kernel) and thus need not be the same partition that holds the kernel. My understanding (now) is that FreeBSD assumes that the partition the kernel was loaded from is /.

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=2525, Name=MTA') I then did the `make all install restart' thing. SendMail now listens on port 2525 correctly. How do I go about changing the port that SendMail actually transmits on? I need to alter that also. I cannot seem to locate any information on how to accomplist that. I don't think sendmail has an option that would allow the source port to be changed. Typically, the source port is chosen by the OS when the TCP session is first established. Why would you need to change the source port in the first place? -Glenn -- Gerard E.

Not true. Zone *files*, yes. Because of the wonderfulness that is NAT, my
LAN's nameserver gives different answers based on whether the query comes
from the LAN or the Internet. My named.conf looks similar to:
view private {
match-clients {
!127.0.0.1;
!::1;
localhost;
lan;
};
right - but for a setup where u want to filter by country, setting up a
different zone file for each country and keeping it up to date is far
more complex than powerdns' solution. BUT it is definitely an option
I'll keep in mind (periodically generating the zones based on the data
from RIR) in case i need to use bind for other reasons.
thanks!

ipfw loads with forwarding disabled
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. When I load ipfw.ko I get: ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding disabled, default to deny, logging disabled I want to use the forward action in the rule set, logging would be nice too. When I try to add a rule which uses the forward action, I get: Line 2: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Invalid argument and line 2 looks similar to: add 1200 forward ##.##.##.1 src-ip ##.##.##.0/23 in recv dc1 At this point I'm guessing that rule-based forwarding disabled has something to do with it no liking my rule. I tried adding options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD to the kernel config and rebuilt the kernel. But I still get the same message as above when loading ipfw (kernel module). I've perused all the relevant sections of the handbook that I could find without finding any more clues. What does it take to change the default feature set of the ipfw kernel module? Or do I have to compile it into the kernel to alter this?
