Re: Re: FreeBSD Installer vs RedHat Linux Fedora Core Installer?

2007/1/4, Garrett Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

That's changing. MS is abandoning the 2000 installer and going strictly
GUI, come Vista.
- -Garrett


Well, that's not too surprising - they already have that Aero thing,
so they just as well do a fancy installer. But having a fancy GUI
installer shouldn't be considered as "Microsofty", as they haven't
done it yet... whereas Red Hat and even Apple have done it for a long
time.

For a simple desktop end user like me, who just devote the whole hard
disk for FreeBSD, I think the installer now is adequate.

hpijs

[Andriy Babiy]

Hi all,

When I try to install hpijs over the port, I get an error as follows:

install  -o root -g wheel -m 444 ppd/* /usr/local/share/ppd/HP
gzip -f /usr/local/share/ppd/HP/*
gzip: /usr/local/share/ppd/HP/fax is a directory -- ignored
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/print/hpijs/work/hpijs-2.1.4.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/print/hpijs.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/print/hpijs.
===

At that point the port was successfully built, but the installation fails. Of 
course, it can be installed as a package... But maybe it can be fixed?

Thank you.
Andriy

This thing seems to happen more often nowadays in FreeBSD. I hate it. I
have a reasonable fast Athlon-3400, but still. I do not think a machine is
supposed to spent so much time on building. I know you don't have to
'touch' the ports and could run a plain release. But who does this?

Anyway, it's annoying to me. But that's of course a personal view ;-)

Massive upgrade after updating gnutls-1.4.5 port

[José G . Juanino]

I read in the UPDATING file:

###
gnutls has been updated to 1.6.1 and all shared libraries' versions
have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that
depend on gnutls. Do something like:

portupgrade -rf gnutls
###


I run pkg_glob -r gnutls-1.4.5 and get 42 packages, including
k3b-0.12.17 and abiword-2.4.6 among other (I mentioned only
some of the biggest to build in my slow pentium III computer).

However, I have noticed that only a few ports depends directly on gnults
port (search for those ports which depends on gnutls but do not depend
on the rest of ports listed in /var/db/pkg/gnutls-1.4.5/+REQUIRED_BY,
see [1]). These ports are (in my system):

aMule-2.1.3
gconf2-2.16.0
gkrellm-2.2.10_1
gnome-icon-theme-2.16.1
gtkspell-2.0.11_4
k3b-i18n-0.12.17
ktorrent-2.0.3
libglade2-2.6.0_2
mplayer-0.99.10
pinentry-gtk2-0.7.2_5
sdl-1.2.11,2
tinyca-0.7.5
wxgtk2-common-2.6.3_1
xvid4conf-1.12


My aim is rebuild only the above ports, and ignore the others listed
in the output of pkg_glob -r gnutls-1.4.5.  The question is: do you
think is my approach right, or shall I need to rebuild all the ports of
pkg_glob output?

For example, suppose libA depends on libB, and libB depends in turn on
libC. If version of libC changes, I need rebuild libB but, shall I need
to rebuild libA?

Maybe you could have opened a second terminal (ctrl/alt/f2) to unmount the
cdrom drive. Just a guess.

Re: wireless help

[Sunnz]

Have you tried read this section of the handbook yet?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html

BTW, if you are using WEP (though WEP isn't really secure), then you
shouldn't use wpa_supplicant.

Are you sure that you are using WPA, not WEP? It seems like that you
have a WEP key, not a WPA key.

Maybe

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsAndXEmacs

can help you to understand the differences. There's also a small discussion 
about when to use Emacs and when to use XEmacs.
But in your case you only have the possibility to use emacs. Only emacs is

Uh. I have to correct myself:

It is ok (and even neccessary) that you have different autoconf/automake 
versions installed. This is because different projects use different versions 
of this package. And these versions are not compatible. A port that uses 
automake-1.5 will not compile with automake-1.9.
You therefore need all these versions of autoconf and automake.

This might be a similar problem. If you look at the ports, then you will see 
that there are quite a few versions of the db package available. Maybe there 
are ports that depend on 4.0 and won't work with 4.2. I'm not sure if it is a 
good idea to remove the older version.

> gnupg-1.4.6_3   The GNU Privacy Guard

You can savely remove gnupg-1.4.6_3. Version 1.4.6_3 was the gnupg port and 
2.0.1 was the gnupg-devel port. Version 1.4.6_3 is now obsolete and you can 
savely remove it.

You can remove them the normal way with "pkg_delete package". E.g. pkg_delete 
gnupg-1.4.6_3

You can use ipfw and/or dummynet. You might want to limit:
1) the number of connections per IP address and/or port
2) bandwidth per IP address and/or port
read the manual, search for "limit", "pipe" & "mask"
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipfw&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html

You can also use pf. You can limit the number of connections
from an IP address per time period. ALTQ can help you manage
the traffic, though I am not sure that it would be helpful in your
case. Sections "Turning away the brutes" & "Directing traffic
with ALTQ" are of interest.
http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/

Decide which one fits your needs and ask the list for further
pointers/help. These suggestions can work transparently in
your network i.e. you don't have to change anything/much.
Just put a FreeBSD box in front of your streaming server.

Hope this helps, Nikos

ipw scan doesn't show APs on channels 12 and 13

[[LoN]Kamikaze]

As the title says, I'm using an ipw wireless card and

# ifconfig ipw0 scan

doesn't list APs on the channels 12 and 13. I suppose this is due to the 
different frequency regulations in the US. Is there a way to configure the ipw 
device to conform to the European regulations?

You can get mplayer installed safely by deselecting the quicktime codec
during the installation process.  To change it now, do the following:
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs && make config
Then deselect quicktime from the menu and save your change.  Then go
back to building mplayer and it should succeed.

You want to initiate the tunnel from within the jail? I think that's
not possible not only for pptp, but for all interface types inside a
jail(perhaps I am wrong, have no jail experience, but I think that's
an essential jail feature(not able to mess up with network interfaces)).

I can use my pptp address from within a jail, of course the tunnel is already
up and visible to the base system. You can also get the "secondary IP address
effect" for your jail using a loopback interface. For example:
ng0 1.2.3.4 <-> 5.6.7.8
lo1 9.10.11.12
9.10.11.12 would also be your jail address, totally unrelated to the tunnel.

I am not sure what you are looking for. Perhaps
you should explain a bit further. Nikos

It's generally considered bad form to email someone privately regarding a

As far as information -- how about whatever it is that made you determine

Barring that, the output of "ps -axu | grep perl" would be helpful.

i do not really have a complete plan at the moment but an idea to use a
jail on my remote system as a sandbox. i mean i would like to set up a jail
and use it (sometimes) as client / virtual machine in a remote network
through some kind of tunneling without any modification to the base system
and sometimes as a regular host to test and compile some completelydifferent
stuff.
i suspect that it is impossible but it might look like as configuring a pseudo
device (eg gre) and use only pure ip traffic through the base system's nat
until the jail's endpoint.

to be honest i am pretty new to freebsd jails so i might be wromg. so please
correct me if you know more. :)

of course the best solution would be to use true virtualization. anyway do you
know anything about the xen dom0 status on freebsd x86 smp? :)

No, this isn't sufficient. The problems are:
1) occasionally the sysadmin people at the server farm do stuff
2) sometimes I edit files, and of course the shell doesn't record how
3) the shell history seems erratic! It remembers the session clearly, but if I 
reboot, for example, and look at the history, it's not what I would

non-authoritative nameservers for the other domains I host automatically

Sun Fire x2100

[DAve]

Just finished searching the archives and net and turned up a few 
answers. I also checked the AMD64 release notes for FBSD 6.1.


Is anyone running FreeBSD on a Sun Fire X2100? Any caveats I should know 
about? Looks like it should be a simple install and run. We will be 
using these servers as outbound SMTP servers so they will be running 
just the minimum mail services, smtp-auth, and clamAV.


Thanks,

The short answer; would be: yes. If your question was to ask how, that's 
where the long answer would come in as FreeBSD alone will not accomplish 
what you are asking for. You'll need several applications to run within 
FreeBSD to accomplish what you're asking, for example: Apache (for 
serving websites), Samba (for internal filesharing to windows), 
rsync/tar/dump/etc for syncing files to a backup drive (depends on how 
you intend to backup - but generally speaking dump rules).


I'd suggest you do some reading ahead of time, spec out what you want to 
accomplish and HOW you would prefer to do it, then ask any further 
questions as you come along. You should also read: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/ - 
It details HOW to get the best results from emailing this list. Your 
initial email titled 'will it work' is rather vague, and may be skipped 
over by many who could have answered your question.


Good luck, sounds like a decent project to start off learning to run 
FreeBSD with ;)

I am not certain if you are using X or console.

On X windows you can set the size of the history to your liking - I usually set 
to unlimited. Then, as frequently as one wishes, save the session to a log 
file. I have not found any problem with history not being the "history".

As far as file editing is concerned if the file is important to you then you 
might want to try saving a snapshot when you open the file and use a small 
script to both save the snapshot and do a diff report that stores the 
differences between the file when you opened it and when you saved it. opened. 
That way you always have as permanent a record as you wish to keep.

My 2 cents

Well, yes, if you don't want a module to load, pulling it out of the
config file would be a good idea.  But as I said before, the question
would be how it got into the config file in the first place.  How did
you create the config file?  [Many systems work fine with no xorg.conf
at all.]

What is a snapshot? I could just make a backup copy of it, which is what I was 
thinking of doing, and revert if necessary. Of course, that supposes I remember 
to do that :/ I was hoping for some program smarter than me.

You might also want to look at ``links'', a character browser

Re: will it work?

[Robert]

I have a very similar setup running on FreeBSD 6.1 and a Dell 4300 server and 
it all works a dream. I'm serving 6 websites, have full ssh access, use the 
machine as an ftp server and email server with sendmail.

As long as you are prepared for some reading time to understand how it all 
works, tweeking and playing with configurations, freebsd will be better than 
any Linux dist you will find.

I suggest you tackle it one step at a time. Start off with apache, get it 
working to your liking and then move onto something like the ftp server.

The short answer; would be: yes. If your question was to ask how, that's 
where the long answer would come in as FreeBSD alone will not accomplish 
what you are asking for. You'll need several applications to run within 
FreeBSD to accomplish what you're asking, for example: Apache (for 
serving websites), Samba (for internal filesharing to windows), 
rsync/tar/dump/etc for syncing files to a backup drive (depends on how 
you intend to backup - but generally speaking dump rules).

I'd suggest you do some reading ahead of time, spec out what you want to 
accomplish and HOW you would prefer to do it, then ask any further 
questions as you come along. You should also read: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/ - 
It details HOW to get the best results from emailing this list. Your 
initial email titled 'will it work' is rather vague, and may be skipped 
over by many who could have answered your question.

Good luck, sounds like a decent project to start off learning to run 
FreeBSD with ;)

OK well I suggest you take a look at the bash shell and start writing a few 
simple shell scripts to manage your own needs - they can be simply achieved 
using your shell. If you want a book I suggest "Learning the Bash Shell" by 
Camerin Newham & Bill Rosenblatt. Well worth its $35 asking price- putting it 
to good use will save you hours of your valuable time. IMHO learning a shell is 
the first step to using any **ix OS effectively. You can also use on-line 
resources but for me a book is best

Re: wireless help

Juan,

first, add the line,
wlan_wep_load="YES"
to /boot/loader.conf, then add
ifconfig_ndis0="nwkey 0x2205801095 DHCP"
to /etc/rc.conf and then reboot.  If I got some syntax wrong and that
doesn't work, serch freebsd.org for 'wireless', and click on the link to

Realtek 3-port NIC driver not loading

[Jeremy Jongsma]

I have two Realtek cards in my box - one single port 8619, and one
3-port 8619 (Jetway AD3RTLANG).  FreeBSD loads the driver for the single
port, but not the other three.  It does list them all in pciconf with
the same chipset, output below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8:0:   class=0x02 card=0x816910ec chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10

The strange thing is - when I loaded FreeNAS 0.671 (6.1 based), it works
perfectly.  When I use any other 6.1 or 6.2 installation, it displays
the following messages on boot for the 3-port card:

pci0:  at device 9.0 (no driver attached)
pci0:  at device 11.0 (no driver attached)
pci0:  at device 12.0 (no driver attached)

I'm somewhat new to BSD.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

How to copy hardlinks as hardlinks

[scuba]

HI all,

	I'm doing some backups with rsnapshot, and I want to copy those 
backups to a DVD.
	Although 'df' and 'du', shows that to total space used for it is 
less then the total capacity of the DVD disk (~ 3.5GB), growisofs/mkisofs 
are treating hardlinks as files (I know it is the idea, but...) so the 
amount of backup volume jumps to +20GB.


How can I copy the rsnapshot backup dir to a DVD as it is on HD?

Thank you,

- Marcelo

Re: FreeBSD Installer vs RedHat Linux Fedora Core Installer?

[Peter aka SweetPete]

Re the FreeBSD Installer--

I think that more specifically, I would like and lots of users in the *nix
community probably would not mind, if sysinstall could handle installing to
a partially used HDD.  Can sysinstall do that? *naive looks*

I have heard o' wondrous a' tale about (h which was it Ubuntu or
Xandros/theWindowsyLinux?) Linux installers that can shrink unused space of
a current partition, and then go along its merry way and install to the
other part of a HDD.

So I guess my [I want what HE HAS..] question is - if I have Linux Fedora
Core on my HDD which is using one huge single partition, what do I do so
that I can install FreeBSD to the rest of the disk??  I miss FreeBSD.

Thanks so much, All!!!

How do I install ports hands-off?

[Atom Powers]

For most ports I can pkg_add them to get them installed without
prompts. But for some ports I special make configurations that require
me to build the port from source. Usually I use portinstall for this,
but this causes problems if the make process requires additional
input.

How can I build a port using the default options, except those defined
in make.conf, without requiring me to confirm the option for each
port?

Sometimes, a network install for the initial bulk load of software is

Put it this way:  If I can stumble my way through shrinking MS Windows
and getting FreeBSD to dual-boot on a laptop, you oughta be able to
get Linux and FreeBSD on the same box. :-)

System Rescue CD with the "run_qparted" is the starting point to
shrink the Linux partition.

BE PATIENT!!!

When the qparted program is shrinking the disk, it *LOOKS* like it
locked up.  It did not.  Step away from the computer.  Step away from
the computer.  Go have lunch or something.

Grueling details here:
http://phpbootcamp.com/articles/inspiron700m.htm

Of course, I have yet to track down the links I was thinking of when I
wrote that, so there are lots of "go here" links that aren't links
yet...  Maybe some day RSN... :-v

Yup.  The machine I am typing on at the moment is that way.

Guess you need to do some perusing of the handbook.
That is what is done for a dual boot machine.   Of course, the
other part of the disk does not have to have a different OS installed
on it, but usually it does - typical is some microsloth Windows thing
along with FreeBSD or often some Linux along with the FreeBSD.
For example, on this machine I shrunk a 70 GB drive with Win-XP 
installed on it down to about 30 GB for XP and put FreeBSD on the
rest.

Do some handbook reading.   It is all there as well as there are lots of
postings in this email list on it - I have made so many that people 
are beginning to ignore them.   Check the archives.

The only nasty is that the last I knew, the freeware utilities for
shrinking disk (FreeBSD has two) don't handle MS NTFS type file systems.
They do handle FAT16 and FAT32, no problem.So, if you want to
shrink an NTFS filesystem and make it stay NTFS, you will have to
buy a disk manager such as Partition Magic for around $70.  There 
are also others and some may be cheaper, but PM has worked well for
me.

Anyway, if you want to dualboot Fedora, then you aren't talking NTFS
anyway.

Jumping into the middle of a thread, possibly to disastrous effect...

Perhaps you should be using subversion or CVS to keep version control
of your document?

I just created a new jail for a pkg repo and I'm trying to make
packages, but it isn't using the correct path. I've tried all sorts of
things to get it to work correctly but it insists on making packages in
/usr/ports/// instead of /usr/ports/packages/All. I have
another jail (pkg repo) that works which I've copied files from to try
and fix it but it doesn't work. It's driving me batty. What would cause
it to put the files in the wrong place? I've tried setting env vars all
over the place but nothing seems to work.

I have been searching for tutorials for browsing the Internet using Lynx, but 
can't seem to find one anywhere. There aren't any tutorial either in those Unix 
books that I bought. What command do I need to type to download Lynx and what 
command I need to type to run Lynx on FreeBSD? 

Secondly, I try to run firefox by typing ...

# mozilla &

but ... it respond with error msg ... and yes I can connect to the Internet (I 
pinged google.com).

Thanks for any help.

To install Lynx, you can execute the following as root:

pkg_add -r lynx

but I prefer using the ports to get the SSL version:

cd /usr/ports/www/lynx-ssl/
make install clean

Then you can start lynx using:

lynx 

If you go to google.com and enter "lynx tutorial", you'll get a list of good 
resources for learning lynx.

The command "mozilla &" is used to start the mozilla browser, which is still 
available.  To start firefox, try "firefox &".

Best of luck,

Andrew

Re: Sun Fire x2100

[David Robillard]

Just finished searching the archives and net and turned up a few
answers. I also checked the AMD64 release notes for FBSD 6.1.

Is anyone running FreeBSD on a Sun Fire X2100? Any caveats I should know
about? Looks like it should be a simple install and run. We will be
using these servers as outbound SMTP servers so they will be running
just the minimum mail services, smtp-auth, and clamAV.


Hi DAve,

I had a Sun Fire X2100 in here a year ago to test it. It installed ok
using FreeBSD/amd64 RELEASE-6.0. My guess is that it should be alright
with 6.1 or the upcoming 6.2.

Your best bet is to get a Sun rep loan you one of them so that you can
try it out. If they refuse, the sometimes have some in their own
offices which you usually can go to and try it.

Here are the ifconfig(8) and (rather long) dmesg(8) output from the
Sun Fire X2100 running a GENERIC FreeBSD/amd64 RELEASE-6.0 kernel on
January 8th, 2006.

Thanks, I suspected as much after searching the FreeBSD lists and 
looking for info on the net. We can always build what little we need on 
Solaris, I just prefer to use FreeBSD when I can. These are not fancy 
servers and they will not be doing anything other than basic AV scanning 
and pumping mail out the door for our network clients.


I appreciate the response.

Add BATCH=yes to /etc/make.conf, or set it in your environment.

David,

I also have a few of these machines. They are running FreeBSD 6.2-BETA2 and
have been in service since October with no problems. I plan to bring them
up to Stable as soon as it's ready.

I am only using the bge ethernet adapters.

HTH

If you're refering to the port dependancy configs, you can try

# make config-recursive

which will present you with all the config options for all the
dependancies, then you can

# make && make install

Advice on which FreeBSD firewall package to choose.

[Brett Davidson]

Before I start, I'm familiar with IPTables from Linux but am wanting to
use FreeBSD as a firewalling router after seeing it in action on a
heavily-loaded webserver. I like the efficiency of the TCP stack.

Upon reading the handbook I found that I can have my choice of three
firewalls; pf, iptables and ipfw.

What would be the most useful (and easiest) package to use given the
following scenario:

A FreeBSD router comprising of four physical interfaces -
Eth0 is the outside 10Mbyte/s cable connection to the Internet.
Eth1 is a 100Mbit DMZ housing a webserver.
Eth2 is a 100Mb DMZ housing a 802.11g Wireless Access Router. 
(My normal preference is to isolate Wireless LANs from physical
LANS).
Eth3 is the inside LAN. 

Software-based VPN connections out from both the Inside LAN and Wireless
DMZ are required. (Allowing VPN tunnels through the firewall; not
tunnels terminated at the firewall).

Against prudence, they wish to allow torrent connections to the inside
lan and ICQ connections to both the Inside LAN and the Wireless DMZ. The
torrent and ICQ connections will need to be bandwidth-managed so that is
a major consideration for the choice of which firewall to use. Is there
an equivalent to HTB on FreeBSD?

I look forward to your answers...

Regards,
Brett.

i believe pf is the most modern and cleanest/easiest syntax to use. it 
is actively developed and lots of people use it. You can set up priority 
on bandwidth in pf as well, so it should meet all your requirements nicely.

I can't speak to the advantages or disadvantages of each of those
options, but from other lists I get the sense the pf is the best option
out there.  If you want something quick to setup, pfSense and m0n0wall
are prebuilt firewall packages based on FreeBSD that will do exactly
what you're looking for.  pfSense uses pf and ALTQ, m0n0wall uses ipfw
and ipfilter.

http://m0n0.ch/wall/
http://www.pfsense.com/

We use redundant 5-port pfSense boxes for our firewall - works quite
well.

I have not used iptables or ipfw.  But, pf is very easy to use, and has
lots of options.  I would give it a try.  I can send some sample configs
if you need.

I look forward to your answers...

Hmm. Maybe so. Good suggestion!

You might want to run tcpdump and monitor one of those slow loads.  
Include the timestamp in the output and see what it is doing during 
that time.  I would tend to suspect DNS timeouts.




tcpdump confirms there is a ten second delay as seen on the browser.
1. there are some UDP packets to/from the nameserver.
2. nothing happens for ten seconds
3. now there is a TCP connection

tcpdump: listening on vr0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet),

routing and networking help. (urgent help please)

[Marwan Sultan]

Hello Gurus,

   This is an Urgent help, as everything pending, waiting.. a FreeBSD 
Solution.
   and I appologize if I will explain in details, please be  patient with 
me.


   Just yesterday, our ISP installed 2 routers (both 3com) at our main 
office.
   One router acting for Datalink between the office and the branch 
(datarouter)

   One for the internet connection.(internet router)

   one short cable connected from the internet router to datalink router
   So everyone on the WAN has internet access which we donot want.
   So we decided to have our FreeBSD 6.1-R server, managing all the job.

   So I installed a FreeBSD box, with NATd enabled, this is how it works
   Internet router <--->  rl0 192.168.0.3 freebsd dc0 192.168.1.1 <---> 
switch <---> all clinets

   also a cat5 cable hookedup from the datalink router to the switch.
   So the switch having the clinets+datalink router + lan freebsd cable.
   The datalink router connected to the branch site also WAN.

   the internet router has the following configurations.
   IP 192.168.0.2 gateway 192.168.0.254
   and the datalink configuration has the follow
   gateway 192.168.0.253
   WAN (branch site)
   IPs of 192.168.2.xx gateway 192.168.0.254
   ALL can ping each other and see each other..(if there is no freebsd 
server)

   also wan works perfectly.. with no FreeBSD server..
   Here is the problem

   the problem when I configure my fbsd lan interface to 192.168.1.1
   and my clinets will have the IP
   192.168.1.x/24 with gateway 192.168.0.254
   wthey will have the internet.. and will NOT see any datalink clients,
   nor will see the WAN on the branch site. (diffrences of IPs and 
gateways)
   because clinets directed to the fbsd server which regonize 192.168.0.254 
(internet router)


   If I configure my clients behind fbsd nat server to IPs of
   192.168.0.x/24 and gateway 192.168.0.253 (Insted of 192.168.1.x and gw 
192.168.0.254)

   they will see the datalink and wan but no internet.

   How would I make all clinets have my fbsd lan ips 192.168.1.x/24
   and freebsd will have the ability to see the two gateways
   192.168.0.254 (internet router) and 192.168.0.253 (datalink router)

   In short words, all clinets should be connected to FreeBSD server lan 
interface
   but in the same time, freebsd will route and manage to the requests for 
wan.


   Second problem:
   If i have rl0 to host my internet router real IP
   and defautlrouter to the NAT ip, internet will not work.
   ifconfig_rl0="inet 62.215.x.6  netmask 255.255.255.252"
   defaultrouter="62.215.x.5" #internet router IP
   No Internet.
   but if i host my rl0 to 192.168.0.3
   and defaultrouter to 192.168.0.254 (internet router gateway)
   internet will work...
   ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.3  netmask 255.255.255.0"
   defaultrouter="192.168.0.254"

   The first case, disabling nat from router and having it to freebsd only
   second case, having the router to NAT and again freebsd doing another 
nat.


   Sorry Gurus for the long emails, excuse me, and waiting your reply asap.

pptpclient vpn problem

[Clickety]

Hello!

I have a problem setting up VPN connection to my workplace.

I followed this tutorial http://www.freebsddiary.org/pptp.php

When i start pptp client it looks like the connection is created.
I get an ip address on tun0. Routes are added to the routing table and
everything seems fine.
But when i try to connect/ping to any server through the vpn, the
connection closes.
This vpn connection works from my XP box with no problems.

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf

WORK:
 set authname myusername
 set authkey mypass
set timeout 0
 set ifaddr 0 0

Re: sparc64 and perl 5.8.8 port test failures?

[Steven D. Yee]

I tried deleting the work subdirectory
and doing both a 'make' and 'make WITHOUT_PERL_64BITINT=yes'
but make test still fails the same way on both the pack and integer tests ..
is it possible that there is some misconfiguration in my system that is 
confusing the
configure script w.r.t. 64bitness of my machine ?

I guess I could start mucking with the config.sh by hand but I'd rather figure 
out why
the port just doesn't work as is.

i believe pf is the most modern and cleanest/easiest syntax to use. it
is actively developed and lots of people use it. You can set up priority
on bandwidth in pf as well, so it should meet all your requirements nicely.


pf will also do the bandwidth management you want. I've used ipfw,
ipf, iptables, and pf; pf is by far the most powerful and easy to use.

SPF is on the way out ... check out:



There are other links, but this one talks about how Earthlink has drop'd it 
this past year:

"At about the same time, Earthlink equally quietly removed the SPF records 
theyd been publishing for at least a year. That was particularly surprising 
because SPF originator Meng Wong had been working with Earthlink to get their 
SPF set up. If Meng cant make SPF work, who can?"

Its one of those technologies that requires everyone to adopt it to be somewhat 
effective ...

first, add the line,

to /boot/loader.conf, then add
   ifconfig_ndis0="nwkey 0x2205801095 DHCP"
to /etc/rc.conf and then reboot.  If I got some syntax wrong and that
doesn't work, serch freebsd.org for 'wireless', and click on the link to
advanced networking in the handbook - that have a very complete and
excellent discussion of all the options.

user or normal. I
think I might not be able to get core dumps b/c my system doesn't get far
enough in the boot process,  so I'm trying to follow the directions here

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/advanced.html#KERNEL-PANIC-TROUBLESHOOTING


but I'm not sure about this part of the instructions

% nm -n /kernel.that.caused.the.panic | grep f0xx

Do I need to replace "/kernel.that.caused.the.panic" with
/boot/kernel/kernel? If so, here' is the out put of


nm -n /boot/kernel/kernel | grep c063fb59

c063fb3c t init_turnstile0
c063fb4c t turnstile_setowner
c063fb78 T turnstile_alloc
c063fbb0 T turnstile_free
c063fbc4 T turnstile_lookup

Can someone help me out here? Am I going about it all wrong? Let me know
what other info might be needed. Thanks ~ Chris

Sounds a lot like you have a dead drive or controller to me.  Have you 
tried running the drive manufacturer's diagnostics on it?

Thank you for the link. It helped me to choose to learn Emacs.
