I think the key words above are "localhost-only".

Is sendmail_enable also set to "YES"?

Well, after thourough examination and a word with the network administrator I 
learnt that my FreeBSD 5.4 client cannot resolve the name (and the IP too) of 
portsnap.daemonology.net because it is behind a firewall and a proxy (which 
-by the way - I had already defined via both $HTTP_PROXY and $http_proxy; as 
I stated in so doing "make install" under a port works flawlessly downloading 
whatever is needed!).
According to the admin (windows 2000 network) portsnap is not able to use the

I have never used these commands.  This should be enough:

$ netstat -naf inet

Make sure there is no sendmail listening (port 25 or 587).

Looks like you either have a botched cf file or there is some other daemon 
interference.  Is
this a new install?  What have you done/installed/configured relating to mail 
software? 
Rebuilt the system?  Compiled kernel?

Sounds like a DNS lookup problem, check /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf

If you get different ip then there you have it.


One other quick issue. When FTPing from within my LAN
it is horribly slow. It was fast after initial install
but something happened without my intervention. I've
tried two different servers, proftpd currently and
pureftp previously. If I ftp outside my LAN it's
lightning fast. Any ideas are appreciated.


You are ftp'ing LAN-Internet right? Are you sure that some other user is 
not sucking up your connection with p2p? On the gateway you can see 
which states are in the firewall, assuming you have a statefull firewall 
ruleset. Ntop on the gateway should be a great tool also.


Also, ftp and firewalls generally is troublesome, maybe you changed a 
rule in the firewall just a littlebit?

First, keep in mind that these parameters only define how sendmail starts when 
the system is
rebooted.

Second, stop any sendmail processes.

Third, start sendmail with the correct cf (config) file.  It should be 
/etc/mail/freebsd.cf. 
It is created from /etc/mail/freebsd.mc.  The former is for sendmail only (do

Sendmail not listening correctly

[Mike Loiterman]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Using:
FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE
Sendmail 8.13.3

I'm trying to setup my mail server, but sendmail is only listening on the
local interface:

 # netstat -an | grep 25 
 tcp4   0  0  127.0.0.1.25   *.*LISTEN

I can do:

# telnet localhost 25

And sendmail answers correctly.  But, if, from another machine within my
network,

# telnet 192.168.1.22 25

I get a connection refused.  Additionally, the sendmail logs show nothing of
the connectcion attempt.

How can I get it to listen on all interfaces and why am I having to do this?
I have setup sendmail on many other FreeBSD boxes and have never had this
problem.

 You also might have downloaded the "Mini" disc for minimum install, that's

Eric:

I had the same problem when I moved from gentoo to freebsd, (which is
only about two weeks ahead of you considering that is why I joined this
list in the first place.

im not sure if you are working from ports or not, but I chose to do
prebuilt packages, just to get the system going

I did a pkg_add -r ghostscript-gnu (not sure if this is required or not.
then I did a pkg_add -r cups
then pkg_add -r foomatic-db
pkg_add -r foomatic-db-engine
pkg_add -f foomatic-filters

(please note I couldnt find a "meta" package that installs everything)

then I did a pkg_add -r hpijs

and that was all I needed to get cups running with my hp laserjet 1100
printer.

Re: Starting kdm

[Eric Schuele]

stan wrote:

I'm trying to figure out the current way (on a 4.11 STABLE machine)
of having kdm startup on boot. Surpisingly neither the handbook,
nor a Google search really led me anywhere on this, and I don't
see a script for this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Do I put it in /etc/tys? If so what's teh proper invocation?



Handbook reads (I assume it applies to 4.11 as well):

5.7.3.1 The KDE Display Manager
...

...
Now, make sure kdm is listed in /etc/ttys to be started at the next 
bootup. To do this, simply follow the instructions from the previous 
section on XDM and replace references to the /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm program 
with /usr/local/bin/kdm.


"Previous Section" reads:
5.6.2 Using XDM

The XDM daemon program is located in /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm. This program 
can be run at any time as root and it will start managing the X display 
on the local machine. If XDM is to be run every time the machine boots 
up, a convenient way to do this is by adding an entry to /etc/ttys. For 
more information about the format and usage of this file, see Section 
21.3.2.1. There is a line in the default /etc/ttys file for running the 
XDM daemon on a virtual terminal:


ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   off secure

By default this entry is disabled; in order to enable it change field 5 
from off to on and restart init(8) using the directions in Section 
21.3.2.2. The first field, the name of the terminal this program will 
manage, is ttyv8. This means that XDM will start running on the 9th 
virtual terminal.

My /etc/rc.conf has:

And that yields a decent screen (Not as good as what we get in GNU/

FreeBSD as some people recommended it. In my previous Mandrake (now
Mandriva) Linux system, I could pass a kernel parameter in the LILO
configuration file to set the console video mode (like "vga=xxx").  
I ran it
at 1024x768 and sometimes 1280x1024 (depending on the computer) to  
allow
more text on the console. I am trying to do the same for my FreeBSD  
system.

A quick Google search brought up this tutorial:
http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/. But, I'm not sure it does  
what I
want. It takes parameters in terms of character-cell dimensions and  
not
pixel dimensions. My question is, how do you tell the kernel to use  
1024x768
as the video mode without having to deal with fonts? Is there an  
easy way to

do it, or am I crazy to even ask?



Oh, and one more thing, in Linux, the console is colorful. For  
example, if
you type "ls", directories are blue, executables are green,  
symlinks are
teal etc. Is there a way to make the console (or at least ls)  
colorful in

FreeBSD?



Thanks,

Harout Hedeshian

Starting kdm

[stan]

I'm trying to figure out the current way (on a 4.11 STABLE machine)
of having kdm startup on boot. Surpisingly neither the handbook,
nor a Google search really led me anywhere on this, and I don't
see a script for this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Do I put it in /etc/tys? If so what's teh proper invocation?

How are you redirecting your requests?  It is probably
due to the fact that a TCP handshake is not being allowed
to complete because the server is responding to the client
but the client is is expecting a response from the firewall.
This is common in your arrangement.  Sniff traffic with
tcpdump on the various hosts and provide us with more
details.

With the ifconfig utility, check the configuration of the
involved network adapters.  In particular, look for duplex
and half-duplex.

/etc/ipf.rules:

### ng0
# allow anything out to the internet
pass out quick on ng0 from any to any keep state

# allow http, https, ssh
pass in log quick on ng0 proto tcp from any to 128.176.0.0/16 port = 80

keep state

# outgoing bittorrent data
pass in quick on ng0 proto tcp from any to 128.176.0.0/16 port = 5

# block anything else

block in quick on ng0 all

### rl1
# allow pptp-dialout
pass out quick on rl1 from any to 172.16.0.1 keep state
# allow GRE-traffic
pass in quick on rl1 from 172.16.0.1 to 172.16.0.0/16

# block anything else
block in quick on rl1 all
block out quick on rl1 all


IPF is still compiled with default accept (like said in the orig. post)
i didn't have time to recompile it yet and i didn't think this made
sense if too much got blocked anyway ;)

with this config everything works as i want. but why do i need the 'keep
state' to make the webserver accessible?

Re: Skipping/Stuttering Sound in XMMS

[John Do]

To play XMMS with libmad you need to get the xmms-mad
port

The main thing that solved the problem was turning up
the buffers for all output codecs in XMMS.

It also helped to go to the KDE sound system and raise
that sound buffer and enable high priority.

I still can't play MIDI files though but I'll make a
new e-mail about that to avoid confusion

As a side note libmad does have a little bit of
stuttering and it seems the buffer was the issue with
libmpg123

CPU cooling or bad memory are likely culprits.

Run memtest.org's checker overnight and see what that finds.  memtest  
is also available as a port, I think, but I burned the .iso image

Thanks.  Do you know of any FreeBSD-specific gotchas, and in particular 
whether RenderAccel works (or is still needed for tolerable performance)?

RE: Installing 5.4 BSD

[Dixit, Viraj]

In regard to the same problem below, I was able to install the system 5.3 but 
not 5.4 and only if I use the default options for partitions. I could not choose
my own options to change the size of the /usr & /var volumes. If I stayed with 
the default 
then the system found acd0 to load the base distribution otherwise it would not 
load the 
base distribution or even find the acd0. Any ideas!!!

 -Original Message-
I am trying to install Free BSD 5.4 and I am having all kinds of trouble. Can 
someone steer me the right direction. The system boots up fine and I am going 
through the process fine. I have my partitions done fine as the system creates 
the partitions and gets to sysinstall. At this point I get an error that says 
"Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0" and that's where it fails. 
If I say no it goes further but cannot make the root password change. If I 
reboot the system it comes to a prompt with boot and fails. I tried on two 
systems with the same result. What am I doing wrong. Also I am making the 
entire disk on the system for Free BSD. Thanks,

Happens in different spots, so I guess it's a hardware problem.  But
what exactly am I looking for?  Is it bad ram, a bad disk?  How do I
find out what's messed up?

Pretty much what was quoted above.  :-)

If you run the same build twice, does the compiler crash at the same  
place, or in a different place?  If the crash happens somewhere else  
each time, it's probably hardware.

two questions in one

[steve lasiter]

First let me say I've come a long way with the help of
this community. I now have my local network set up
with several servers, workstations, and firewall with
most  using FreeBSD 5.4. Now here's my current issues.
Maybe I can get input even if these are not so very
BSD specific.

My network consist of a FreeBSD gateway (192.168.0.1)
with two new nic cards, fxp0 to the internet(cable
modem) and fxp1 to my LAN via cisco switch. My
web/mail server is on 192.168.0.2 My static IP is
66.190.xxx.xxx 

My web server is up and running well and I can test
all by going to 192.168.0.2 from any internal
workstation, but if I try to go to www.mywebsite.com
from any internal workstation, which maps to the
66.190.xxx.xxx IP directed to web server port 80 as it
should, my attempt will time out. If I run next door
to my buddies and hit it from his PC I get there just
fine. I can't understand this since I'm using the
www.mywebsite.com name instead of an IP address. It
seems the gateway should not be affecting me, right?
How do I get around this or solve it? I don't want to
have to go next door everytime I need to make sure my
site is accessible from the web.

One other quick issue. When FTPing from within my LAN
it is horribly slow. It was fast after initial install
but something happened without my intervention. I've
tried two different servers, proftpd currently and
pureftp previously. If I ftp outside my LAN it's
lightning fast. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks to all again for the great work,

Steve Lasiter

It would help if you would post your ruleset and not the readout, it's 
easier to read. Secondly, it is posible to compile ipf with default

key map chenges if / is read-only

[Erik Nørgaard]

Hi,

I have experienced a series of crashes trying to get DV working (that's 
another story) so I wanted to protect my root partition from disk errors 
mounting it read only.


Editing /etc/fstab to:

  /dev/ad0s1a/   ufs ro  1   1
  /dev/ad0s1d/usrufs ro  2   2

I lost my danish.iso keymap. all meta characters was gone, I couldn't 
type a @ and I couldn't get out of X with meta+F1.


Editing the fstab so / and /usr would be mounted rw and rebooting solved 
this - but what is going on?


It should be safer to mount / and /usr ro and AFAIK also give better 
perfomance.


Thanks, Erik

Sounds like you might have downloaded or burned a bad CD.  Verify the

I assume you have the plugger port installed?  Better yet, install the
plugger-plugins-hubbe port.  It's a meta-port that gets not only the
plugger port, but all those needed for the various media types, like
xanim and mplayer.

The plugin management isn't exactly solid as a rock yet.  Here's a few
places to look:

ls -lCF ~/.plugger:
-r-xr-xr-x  1 leblanc  leblanc  13516 Sep 16 15:50 plugger-5.1.3*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 leblanc  leblanc   9068 Sep 16 15:50 plugger-controller*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 leblanc  leblanc   2905 Sep 16 15:50 plugger-oohelper*
-r--r--r--  1 leblanc  leblanc  18310 Sep 16 19:08 pluggerrc-5.1.3

If you have anything different, make sure your /usr/ports/www/plugger/
port is up to date, clean out ~/.plugger, and as your userid - with the
port built - type 'make local-install'.  This will repopulate
~/.plugger.

Then there's this:
ls -lCF /usr/X11/lib/browser-plugins/
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel 62 Sep 19 08:34 libjavaplugin_oji.so@ -> 
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  23952 Sep 16 15:48 npplugger.so*

I know it seems a little sparse, but it does the trick for me.
nplugger.so is the plugger interface, and libjavaplugin_oji.so is, of
course, the java plugin.  You'll want the JDK 1.4.2 port installed
before worrying about this one.

One big hangup I ran into at this point, was not having mplayer
configured right.  Check out `man mplayer` to check out the proper
configuration - pay particular attention to the -vo switch.  Use the
/usr/local/share/mplayer/example.conf file, and modify the various flags
that appear troublesome.  You can figure this out by getting a .wmv or
.mpeg URL and passing it to mplayer from the command line.

If it helps, this is my vo setting:
vo = sdl,x11,xv,gl,gl2

I should probably put gl2 at the beginning though . . .

RE: Installing 5.4 BSD

[Dixit, Viraj]

 -Original Message-
I am trying to install Free BSD 5.4 and I am having all kinds of trouble. Can 
someone steer me the right direction. The system boots up fine and I am going 
through the process fine. I have my partitions done fine as the system creates 
the partitions and gets to sysinstall. At this point I get an error that says 
"Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0" and that's where it fails. 
If I say no it goes further but cannot make the root password change. If I 
reboot the system it comes to a prompt with boot and fails. I tried on two 
systems with the same result. What am I doing wrong. Also I am making the 
entire disk on the system for Free BSD. Thanks,

VJ

Thanks for the feedback.  The noise seems to be there when nothing's
happening, when I'm playing an mp3 from disk (that's what digital
audio, right?), and when I'm directly playing a CD.

Would a pci based sound card be immune from this?  Any recommendations
for one that's not as tall as a sound-blaster LIVE card (space
constraints in the case...).

Thanks,

Like Garrett, I also have one PC that just takes awhile to come up,

Another suggestion - if you've external USB devices, esp. storage, 
unplug 'em from the PC and see if the system comes up without 'em. I 
had a fun time with an external HD hanging my startups until I 
learned to only attach it after everything else was up. Never did 
figure out exactly why (not enough time to play with it once a 
workaround was presented).

   How long do you let it sit? Sometimes it appears as if probing 
devices takes approximately 4-6 minutes on my P4, so if you have slower 
hardware it may take longer.

Re: gmake/make dependency problem

[Harlan Stenn]

I'm confused.

I believe that:

 a: b

means that 'a' depends on 'b', and if 'b' has a later timestamp than 'a'
then the rule will be invoked to produce a new 'a' from  whatever is
done with 'b'.

In this case, 'a' is ntpd-opts.c, and 'b' is ntpd-opts.def.

As can be seen on your system and mine:

> It seems that ntpd-opts.c has a timestamp 1 minute after ntpd-opts.def,

which means it is up-to-date with respect to its dependencies.

You will also note the VPATH in the Makefile includes the source
directory.

I believe this is a VPATH issues.

Am I missing something?

I appreciate your working with me on this issue.

alternatively you could install a nfs client (nfsAxe is one i recall) on

   Although MacOSX is FreeBSD based, it's somewhat dangerous to deal 
with the non-GUI based UI junk as the Unix commands don't tie into the 
OS very well, IMO.
   That was the only sad thing about OSX for me I discovered, but Apple 
probably thought that people would like to connect to servers via the 
GUI method more than the CLI based command =\.
   If you need scriptability, there're always Applescript and the 
Automator in 10.4 that ties in with Apple's stuff quite nicely.

The NIC card that is in it is an ISA bus card, a WD8003 (it was operating
as ed0 in its previous incarnation).  More for amusement than anything
else, I decided to use that card, if I could, with a recent version of
FreeBSD, so I loaded 5.4-R onto it.

I now realize that I no longer have any idea how to tell the kernel how to
find a non-PnP ISA card.

Here is the kernel.conf file from the old box:




   en ed0



Interface ed0 (someone correct me if I'm wrong it's been a while)


So the "en ed0" command above is something along the lines of setting up a 
symbol for the rest of the configuration commands?  Or is it something 
along the lines of a CISCO IOS "interface fe0" command, that says the rest 
of the commands refer to fast ethernet 0?



   po ed0 0x300



Port to interface ed0 id 0x300 (bit of physical memory to access the nic)



   ir ed0 10



IRQ for ed0 is 10



   iom ed0 0xd8000



I/0 memory for ed0 0xd8000 (for direct memory access IIRC)



   f ed0 0



I forgot this one, sorry.




   q


I'm guessing the "q" command is "quit", but I don't know if it means 
"don't pay attention to any further lines in this config file", or if it 
means "that's the end of configuring ed0".  Does anyone remember?



I don't even remember what lines 1 and 5 mean.  How do I set IRQ, memory
address, etc for a non-PnP ISA card under 5.4-R, if that is even possible?
If not possible, is it supported under 4.11?


From a websearch it looks like the kernel config worked just about the 
same at least as late as 4.9-R, but it seems that the only people using 
ISA cards these days are in places like the Czech Republic and other 
places where I can't read the web pages.  I couldn't even find a reference 
to using an ISA card under 5.4.  Anybody know how under 5.4-R?




This isn't critical by any means.  The motherboard has two open PCI slots
on it, so I could just use PCI NIC cards for the firewall, but I am
curious if the old cards can still be used.  I also have a second ISA NIC
card, a WD8013, so it would be somewhat amusing to have this box running a
firewall using those two old NIC cards.  The ISA bus should be able to
easily keep up with 128Kb of traffic; the old version of the box was a
mail- and web-server, and never had problems keeping up with ISDN speeds.

Sure, try suing someone for $200 in small claims for that - the expert

Are you aware of that the terminology "by and large" means in that

Perhaps not, maybe the translation to German modified the meaning?

So, your the one in a thousand Mac user that's not stone stupid, an

Why are you continuing to divert focus here?  Let me restate and

"You can teach the kids to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division by hand, so they understand what is going on with addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division."

Baloney.  Sure, someone who uses integrals every day to build
or create something does not need to
know the theory well enough to repeat it, or remember enough of it
to understand all of it correctly.

But sometime during the teaching of how to work an integral they should
have been instructed by someone who really understood it and could
help them to form a mental image that would be an analogy of what is
going on.  They should have the general gist of the idea.

Your attitude is reminicent of "Pay no attention to that man behind the

Re: problem with IPF rules - (problem solved but i'm still confused)

[jonas]

adding a 'keep state' to the 'pass in'-rules solved this problem.
but i still do not understand why it didn't work before, because
outgoing traffic was allowed with
"pass out quick on ng0 from any to any keep state"
i'ld really prefer to know what's going on there :)

any ideas?

It's most probably complaining about a missing Makefile in ${WRKSRC}. Perhaps 
the software in question uses a configure script and you forgot to define 
GNU_CONFIGURE / USE_CONFIGURE?

hmm... 172.16.x.y is the IP i get assigned by DHCP
and the one i reach the pptp-server 172.16.0.1 through 172.16.192.2
128.176.a.b is the IP i get assigned from the pptp-server, so i can
reach the public internet through the gateway 128.176.239.193.
so 128.176.a.b. is my public IP address.

so in fact the traffic goes this way(at least this is how i understand

I believe you will want something more like the following:

ServerName blog2.blogspot.com

There is plenty of documentation about Name Based Virtual Hosts on the
apache.org website.  You should look there for further information. 
If you use IRC, you can also look for help on irc.freenode.net

First, the authoritative DNS servers for your domain must be
configured to resolve all of the sub-domains to the specified IP
address.  Otherwise your server will never recieve any communication
to begin with.  Then to set up virtual hosting with apache, if you
want one vhost to service all the sub-domains, I believe you can use
the ServerAlias directive in your VirtualHost definition like so:

ServerName blogspot.com
ServerAlias *.blogspot.com

Or set up separate vhost definitions for each sub-domain if you want
them to point to different web directories on your server.

It doesn't log anything bad. I have Xorg.0.log from September 13th and it 
doesn't modify when I run "startx"
At the end of the file it says that Xorg detected my mouse at /dev/sysmouse 
and that my xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf.new etc. etc.

sysinstall Hangs When Probing Devices on 5.4

[Drew Tomlinson]

I have run the 4.x versions on this exact same hardware with no 
sysinstall issues.  I upgraded to 5.4 using the installation CD and 
sysinstall ran fine during the install.  However after installing my 
system and doing a full boot, sysinstall just "hangs" at probing on any 
attempt to run from the command line as any user including root.  It 
does not respond to either 'kill' or 'kill -9'.  The only way to get rid 
of the process is a reboot.  Any ideas on why I'm seeing this behavior?  
How can I go about troubleshooting?


Thanks,

Drew

Thank you, I'm also not worried about that, but I'd like to make one
more note: while I was trying to connect to Internet via GPRS
(unsuccessful yet, but that most of all needs separate discussion), I've
encountered messages like the following (note that they not always
follow each other):

ubt_bulk_out_complete2: ubt0 - Bulk-out xfer failed. TIMEOUT (15)
ng_l2cap_l2ca_discon_req: ubt0l2cap - unexpected L2CA_Disconnect
request message. Channel does not exist, lcid=0

Probably that's related in some way to our discussion, so I decided to
inform about 'em. 

And excuse for my English if it's not perfect, it's not my native
language.

as osx is based on freebsd... is mount_smbfs still present? if so,
one of the easiest ways should be to share a folder on the windows
machine and the mount it from the osx box (see: man mount_smbfs).

alternatively you could install a nfs client (nfsAxe is one i recall) on
the windows box and use NFS to share files. 
i would prefer this one, since i don't like smb.

after all, why are _you_ trying to find out, how your kids can keep

Thanks for the help.

I thought I'd post as to what I did to finally get this working. 

I had to add the following:

MASQUERADE_AS(i-v-o.net)

Acording to the sendmail docs this needs to be a space seperated list of
domains that we are willing to masqureade for. In addition it appears that
if the domsin(s) you want to masquerade for are ont in
/etc/mail/local-host-names  m then you need to add:

MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(i-v-o.net)

It appears as though this is possible to replace with  something like:

GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')

Although I have not gotten this to work yet.

Having said all of that, this may just be a hack to get things working.
I'll try your sugestions this evening. I hope they work, as I'd prefer to
have all of this stored in a file that is read at runtime, as oposed to one
that I have to restart sendmail to read (the .mc/.cf files).

Thansk again for the adivce, I'll report back (if only for the archives)
after I try the above sugestiosn.

Do you at all have access?

I shall try to disect your ruleset:

@1 pass in log quick on ng0 proto tcp from any to 128.176.0.0/16 port = 80 
@2 pass in log quick on ng0 proto tcp from any to 192.168.0.1/32 port = 443 
@3 pass in log quick on ng0 proto tcp from any to 192.168.0.1/32 port = 22 
@4 pass in log quick on ng0 proto udp from any to 192.168.0.1/32 port = 22 


Do you see anything strange in the first rule compared to the following 
three? You said ssh worked right?



where rl0 is the LAN interface, rl1 is connected to a DSL-modem, ng0 is
the tunnel interface mpd creates, 192.168.0.1 is the IP of my
freebsd gateway and 172.16.0.1 is the IP of the PPTP-server (a cisco
device i think).


You should make an ascii sketch, it's far easier to understand which 
iterface is connected to what and where traffic goes.

i'm not sure about the details of this as i never used freesbie, but if
you can turn it into a 'real' 5.3-STABLE i don't see why it shouldn't
be possible to upgrade it to 5.4 by checking out the 5.4 sources and
doing a system rebuild.
check the handbook for upgrading the base system via cvsup, it's pretty
straightforward and the best way to upgrade your system, i think.

(maybe this is also the way the freesbie system is turned into a 5.3-
STABLE? if so, just checkout the 5.4 sources instead of the 5.3
sources, rebuild the kernel as well as the base system and then just
follow the rest of the instructions for turning freesbie into 5.3-
STABLE. BUT it won't hurt to be safe and do it in two steps if you're
unsure. the worst thing that can happen is that you become more
familiar with system upgrading :) )

If it's the same blocks all the time, you may have coincidentally
developed a hard disk problem at the same time.  Much more likely,
though, you've got a problem with the ATA cable for that drive.  Maybe
it has gotten pinched or bent too sharply?


 


I re-seated the cables yet again and havent seen the problem since then.

problem with IPF rules - port 80 not accessible

[jonas]

hi!

i feel kind of stupid about this :( ...
i'm using a freebsd gateway to manage my internet connection, which is
also running a httpd to provide a small website and (in the future ;) )
some system manegement,statistics etc.

the httpd is not accessible from the internet and i don't understant
why, i probably made some stupid mistake in the firewall rules... this
is the first time i'm setting up a firewall from scratch.

i'm running:

FreeBSD router.dbnet 5.4-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p7

(any errors in it? outbound internet acces works fine)

my IPF-rules:

@7 pass in log quick on rl1 from 172.16.0.1/32 to 172.16.0.0/16
@8 block in log quick on rl1 from any to any

where rl0 is the LAN interface, rl1 is connected to a DSL-modem, ng0 is
the tunnel interface mpd creates, 192.168.0.1 is the IP of my
freebsd gateway and 172.16.0.1 is the IP of the PPTP-server (a cisco
device i think).

i can access the webserver from an ssh login to a university computer,
but other people tell me, they can't connect to the httpd.
in the logs i can see that their packets to port 80 are passed, but
they don't seem to get any data back.
i'm confused... what am i doing wrong?

btw. you may notice the explicitly closed port 111, this is probably
not necessary because of rule @7, and i'm aware that it's idiotic to
run NFS on a gateway machine. let's not discuss that :) (i don't plan to
leave it on for 'production' use of that machine, but it's holding
some stuff i don't have space to put anyware else at the moment.)

thanks,
jonas

Hi there,

I wouldn't think so 'cos FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 6.X.



FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 5.3. Their last release was on December 6, 
2004 (5.3 came out in November), so it can't be 6.X.



If you want 5.3 or 5.4 then why not just do a normal installation ??



 From their FAQ:

---
Is there a way to install FreeSBIE on my HD ?

Yes ! Since FreeSBIE 1.1 it's possible to use the BSDInstaller to 
install FreeSBIE on your hard drive, and then turn it into FreeBSD 
5.3-STABLE by means of cvsup

---

But I would do what Gavin said and do a real install of 5.4. It's really 
not hard. :)




Huge apologies for giving you the wrong info there Mark, I was thinking 
of another live distro.


FreeSBIE is pretty cool though.

I looked at that FAQ now and it says you can upgrade to 5.3 by using ports.

Do you know how the ports collection works?

I think the ports is the best way of managed packaged and programs that 
I have ever seen.


Maybe you can do as you were wanting to.

Once again, sorry for the mis-information.

Gavin

Since everything works, I'm not too worried about it.  However, you
could try removing the startup script from running automatically, and
see whether you still get those messages.  And then whether they still
happen if you run the script by hand after the system is up.  That
would tell you a lot.

It doesn't though.  ntpd-opts.c depends on ntpd-opts.def, and their
timestamps are:

% flame:/home/keramida/ws/ntp/ntp-4.2.0b/obj/ntpd$ make -ndm
% Examining ntpd-opts.def...modified 11:01:00 Aug 30, 2005...up-to-date.

% Examining ntpd-opts.c...non-existent...modified before source...out-of-date.
% cd ../../ntpd && autogen ntpd-opts.def
% update time: 17:38:09 Sep 19, 2005
% [...]
% flame:/home/keramida/ws/ntp/ntp-4.2.0b/obj/ntpd$ ls -ld 
../../ntpd/ntpd-opts.c ../../ntpd/ntpd-opts.def
% -r--r--r--  1 keramida  keramida  - 32849 Aug 30 11:02 ../../ntpd/ntpd-opts.c
% -rw-rw-r--  1 keramida  keramida  -  1255 Aug 30 11:01 
../../ntpd/ntpd-opts.def

It seems that ntpd-opts.c has a timestamp 1 minute after ntpd-opts.def,
and this is what triggers the autogen run.

>  % gmake ntpd-opts.c
>
> should say the target is up-to-date.

I don't think this is correct.  The obj/ntpd/Makefile file contains:

% flame:/home/keramida/ws/ntp/ntp-4.2.0b/obj/ntpd$ grep ntpd-opts.def * | cat -n
%  1  EXTRA_DIST = ntpd-opts.def ntpdbase-opts.def ntpdsim-opts.def 
$(BUILT_SOURCES)
%  2  ntpd-opts.c: ntpd-opts.def ntpdbase-opts.def
%  3  cd $(srcdir) && autogen ntpd-opts.def
%  4  ntpd.1: ntpd-opts.def ntpdbase-opts.def
%  5  cd $(srcdir) && autogen -Tagman1.tpl -bntpd ntpd-opts.def
%  6  ntpd-opts.texi ntpd-opts.menu: ntpd-opts.def
%  7  -Taginfo.tpl -DLEVEL=section ntpd-opts.def
% flame:/home/keramida/ws/ntp/ntp-4.2.0b/obj/ntpd$

The second matched line clearly states that ntpd-opts.c depends on
ntpd-opts.def and their timestamps are backwards.  make(1) is right in
this case, IMHO

Cheers, Erik

Hello,
Can I install FREESBEE 1.1 and then upgrade from the installed FreeBSD 
5.3 to 5.4 using the Release CD.



Hi there,

I wouldn't think so 'cos FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 6.X.


FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 5.3. Their last release was on December 6, 
2004 (5.3 came out in November), so it can't be 6.X.



If you want 5.3 or 5.4 then why not just do a normal installation ??


From their FAQ:

Is there a way to install FreeSBIE on my HD ?

Yes ! Since FreeSBIE 1.1 it's possible to use the BSDInstaller to 
install FreeSBIE on your hard drive, and then turn it into FreeBSD 
5.3-STABLE by means of cvsup

But I would do what Gavin said and do a real install of 5.4. It's really 
not hard. :)

No, I get a password prompt from Thunderbird.  I use keys auth, not
passwd auth with SSH on this server.  So I think the tunnel is ok, but
the server reacts badly on the command to read the actual message.

Yes I did.
