Re: geli load key before rootfs is mounted
I think you maybe running into a bug in 6.1 where the keyboard wont respond during the boot process. Of course you don't notice because keystrokes have no visual feedback at password input. Try adding this line to /boot/device.hint on your boot media: hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1 I'm booting an encrypted root file system fine with GELI. On 18/12/06, Alin-Adrian Anton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been playing around with geli and I was wondering if anyone managed to actually use the feature which loads the keyfile before the root filesystem is mounted.

I couldn't do it on a 6.1-REL0. (keeps saying password is wrong, probably because it doesn't see the keyfile). Of course, the .key file is on unencrypted media.

Dear All,
I am very new to Bind and FreeBSD.
I have just configured a Local DNS server using the built-in
Bind 9.3.1 on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine.
My problem is that the machine can cache queries on the
localhost and loop back (127.0.0.1) interface only.
I have a public static IP on this machine too and I can't
seem to query the caching name server from my local network.
In Linux, this is no problem. I just can't seem to get Bind
to work as in my local network. It works only on the
loopback interface.
The default /etc/namedb/named.conf configuration file for BIND
says:
| // If named is being used only as a local resolver, this is
| a safe default. // For named to be accessible to the
| network, comment this option, specify // the proper IP
| address, or delete this option. listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
It looks like if you comment out that option, it will listen
on * by default. You could also add the other IP address on
which you want named to listen.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your help. I did comment and added my public
static IP like the following:
listen-on { 202.x.x.x; }; # My Static IP
Now when I do from my local PC:
dig yahoo.com @202.x.x.x , I can do DNS lookups.
But when I try doing that from another computer on my network, I
can't do any DNS lookups.
Is that anything that I miss?

You have to tell the other machines on your network to use the IP
of the local DNS server for domain name resolution. If you are
using DHCP you can configure your DHCP server to give this
information with the IP. Otherwise you must manually do it, which
will be different between operating systems.
HINT: In FreeBSD add the IP of the DNS server to /etc/resolve.conf

Inventory (asset) tracking software?
Did you ever get a response to the following inquiry? I'm looking for the exact same thing. Open Source is definitely better, but the business just wants something to work. Hello, I'm tapping into this vast group of knowledgeable people to see if someone out there has a solution to a problem I've been trying to tackle for a couple of weeks now. I need a way to track inventory, but not in a traditional way. We aren't selling anything, rather, all of this stays internal. We have a data center which is constantly expanding in terms of capacity. We have large amounts of hardware on site, and new hardware arriving all the time. We currently have no good way to track things such as what hard drive that came in is in what server, and if we had to replace one, what the RMA date is on it, and which one we replaced it with. I would like something capable of the following: 1) We can add in new inventory as it arrives. 2) We can indicate what server the parts go into, and also look at the server and see what parts are in it. 3) Tasks can be added to the system requesting a new server be built and what parts should be in the server (single cpu, dual, 2 drives, 5 drives, raid controler, X sticks of Y size ram, etc) that will take current inventory into account. 4) Track inventory on hand (obviously). 5) Track RMA's on items. Things it would be nice to have: 1) The ability to work with some form of bar code scanner. 2) The ability to print serial number stickers to add to hardware for internal tracking. 3) Lifetime maintenance records - what parts have gone into or come out of a machine over it's service life. 4) Mark an inventory item or server object as tested/burned in. I would like to find something open source, it can run either on as a desktop application, or a web application. If there's something out there that does this that isn't open source, that's fine too. Don't not recommend something just because it's expensive - I'm all about supporting open source projects, but the company is footing the bill, and they just want something that works. My research has turned up a few commercial packages that do parts of this, but not all of it, and nothing really integrates, so I haven't found a real solution, but I can't imagine that this doesn't exist.

getting logs from jails
Hi list, I have a FreeBSD host connected to the Internet via ADSL and a LAN behind that, and a fat (full install) jail inside that. Is there possible to set up the jail to provide access for a road warrior to the lan by a pptp vpn. The problem is that, i have only one interface and one IP in the jail, and I have limited possibilities to do some magic with the network settings inside a jail. Of course the vpn traffic would be forwarded from the ext interfaces to the jail. Any help would be greatly appreciate Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Printing.
Is there any consensus on which method I should use to enable printing on my 6.1 desktop? The printer in question is an old HP Deskjet 500. I recall there being issues regarding cups in the not too distant past, and am wondering if I should look at something else. I'm running KDE (and sometimes Gnome), and looking to be able to print from Firefox, opera-linux, bluefish openoffice. I would also like to set it up to be able to be a network share via Samba.

SCSI Tape Drive Problems
Hi everyone. I'm experiencing some problems with two tape drives attached to this machine. Here is the situation: I first tried backing up 17GB of data using cpio to a six tape DDS-4 autoloader with a fresh 20GB/40GB Fuji tape. It stopped writing after about 9GB and gave the following error message on the command line, but didn't output anything to /var/log/messages: Internal overflow, aborting If I try to use tar instead of cpio and backup the same 17GB directory to the same 20GB native tape, it will give a tape full error way before completing. With that six tape autoloader, I have tried with two different brand new DDS-4 20/40 tapes, and the unit itself is brand new from the factory and has only written a few GB so far (mainly smaller files, which seemed to work fine). I then tried backing up the same 17GB directory to a Sun DLT 4000 single tape unit with a 20GB/40GB tape using cpio. It wrote about 250MB and then quit with a Found End of Volume error. It outputted a lot of errors to /var/log/messages which can be found here: http://tntpowerhost.com/mixx941/freebsd/sun_tape_errors_1.log I did another test on the same Sun DLT 4000 with a smaller 1.5GB directory and a different tape. This time it wrote about 550MB and then gave the same Found End of Volume message as before.

Confused with jails (ezjail) and mergemaster
Hello, Sorry for the confusion here, but I just am not getting it ... I have just built and installed world on a 6.1-STABLE i386 machine and run mergemaster. For the jails, I have run: root# ezjail-admin update -i and it performed an installworld. Cool so far. What about mergemaster on the jails? Do I need to run mergemaster on the basejail and each jail instance? root# mergemaster -D /usr/jails/basejail root# mergemaster -D /usr/jails/jail-01 root# mergemaster -D /usr/jails/jail-99 Or just mergemaster on basejail? If I do just run mergemaster on basejail, how do the config file changes make it into the individual jails? Ezjail is a great utility but running mergemaster on every jail instance seems daunting, not to mention the potential problems with end-user modified config files. Many thanks for clarification, pointers, slaps upside the head, etc. -- Regards, Doug ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Once you get those errors sorted out, see whether you still get incorrect volume full messages. Completely unrelated, but it's interesting that the string SCBs in those logs got translated to SCDel!

Re: SCSI Tape Drive Problems
That's hardware, most likely scsi termination issues or cabling issues. I have seen these errors lots of times when using a high speed scsi controller on a tape drive. Sometimes you can play with the settings on the controller or flip switches on the drive to get things to work, sometimes you can use better cables and get things to work, usually I just go get an older, slower scsi controller. There's a computer recycler here that has stacks of aha 2940's (not the ultra ones) for a couple bucks a card.

I'm experiencing some problems with two tape drives attached to this machine. Here is the situation: I first tried backing up 17GB of data using cpio to a six tape DDS-4 autoloader with a fresh 20GB/40GB Fuji tape. It stopped writing after about 9GB and gave the following error message on the command line, but didn't output anything to /var/log/messages: Internal overflow, aborting If I try to use tar instead of cpio and backup the same 17GB directory to the same 20GB native tape, it will give a tape full error way before completing.

I then tried backing up the same 17GB directory to a Sun DLT 4000 single tape unit with a 20GB/40GB tape using cpio. It wrote about 250MB and then quit with a Found End of Volume error.

I assume someone doing nasty with forged and use my domain email to send his spam message to non existing user. and i got undeliverable message. Is there any clue ?? Oh.. i forget to mention i use 4.11-STABLE for my MX Hmmm... SPF records are a good tool against this sort of thing. Perhaps if you change from: mra.co.id. v=spf1 mx to mra.co.id. v=spf1 mx -all That means that SPF compliant mail servers should refuse to accept messages (ie. a hard fail) from any machine other than the MXes for mra.co.id See http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax for the full story on SPF records. It's not a 100% solution and it will take the spammers some time to realise that forging your address in their e-mails is much less effective. On the positive side, it will mean that many mailservers reject the incoming spam during the SMTP dialog so you'll get fewer bounce messages. This problem exposes an architectural flaw in many e-mail server setups. Either all of the MXes for a domain have to be able to verify addresses on incoming e-mails and reject any non-existent destinations during the SMTP dialog, or (like Bill does above) once a message has been accepted by any of the mail servers for your domain, it should never be bounced back to the (probably forged) mail address in the headers because the recipient doesn't exist. Bouncing for other reasons, (like eg. mailbox over quota) does not generally add to the overall spam load. Normally a very simple site with just one server will get that right, but a more complex site with several MXes and various SMTP routers etc. internally will frequently not.

Re: Local DNS Caching not caching on external interface

Hi Chad,
Well I am please to inform you that the local DNS caching server is
working fine now.
I had made a mistake in my IPFW rules in the workstations that were
querying the local DNS caching server.
The DNS caching server was indeed sending DNS name look up results but
my workstations were not accepting it.
Anyway, I would like to thank you and all FreeBSD users once again for
your support and help. I will update you all if I face any problems
again.

Dear All,
I am very new to Bind and FreeBSD.
I have just configured a Local DNS server using the
built-in Bind 9.3.1 on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine.
My problem is that the machine can cache queries on the
localhost and loop back (127.0.0.1) interface only.
I have a public static IP on this machine too and I
can't seem to query the caching name server from my
local network.
In Linux, this is no problem. I just can't seem to get
Bind to work as in my local network. It works only on
the loopback interface.
The default /etc/namedb/named.conf configuration file for
BIND says:
| // If named is being used only as a local resolver,
| this is a safe default. // For named to be accessible
| to the network, comment this option, specify // the

| { 127.0.0.1; };
It looks like if you comment out that option, it will
listen on * by default. You could also add the other IP
address on which you want named to listen.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your help. I did comment and added my public
static IP like the following:
listen-on { 202.x.x.x; }; # My Static IP
Now when I do from my local PC:
dig yahoo.com @202.x.x.x , I can do DNS lookups.
But when I try doing that from another computer on my
network, I can't do any DNS lookups.
Is that anything that I miss?

You have to tell the other machines on your network to use
the IP of the local DNS server for domain name resolution. If
you are using DHCP you can configure your DHCP server to give
this information with the IP. Otherwise you must manually do
it, which will be different between operating systems.
