If you use a minimal install, without any ports, you can just start with creating the link: /usr/X11R6 /usr/local. Then there is not reason to use portupgrade (other than comfort) or follow any of the instructions in UPDATING. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

IPv6 Setup...
Hello all, I've been toying with getting IPv6 installed and running for a while, and I've got only one hurdle remaining. I have 5 servers on my quaint little network, and my primary firewall is configured with an IPv6 address, we'll say 1000:2000:1::6 and is connected to my ISP through a gif tunnel (router doesn't support IPv6 yet, on my end) to 1000:2000:1::5. I can ping6 all day long across this tunnel, and I can even connect through this firewall to other sites using the IPv6 addresses. I've been given 2001:4900:1:0111::/64 for my use. I've configured / etc/rc.conf on my first two machines with ipv6_enable="YES" and given them 2001:4980:1:0111::1 and 2001:4980:1:0111::2. Each machine can ping6 itself, but they cannot ping6 eachother. I know the copper is good, and my ipv6 is running along side my ipv4 addresses and such. In addition, there are no firewalls in between. Is there something I'm missing? Also, what the heck is rtadvd_enable="YES" actually doing for me? I understand it's broadcasting some routing stuff so my other hosts can auto-configure their IPv6 addresses, but anything else?

Should I still use portupgrade-devel instead of portupgrade? I would rather just use portupgrade, if I can. Do I have to follow any of the other directions in UPDATING regarding this... stuff? Or can I just do a normal old "cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg; make install" without any of the special new exciting xorg crap in UPDATING?

ethernet interface not configured

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE / Gnome / Beryl (recipe)
Hello Guys, After several hours of compilation, I have got my FreeBSD/Gnome/Beryl working properly. It took almost 2 days of compiling processes. To those who are interested, here is a log of what I did: Installed the minimal installation of FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. When my computer woke up, I configure its mouse (a PS/2 microsoft optical mouse) by adding the next lines to /etc/rc.conf: moused_enable="YES" moused_flags="-z 4" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" michelle# /etc/rc.d/moused start Once it was working, I installed cvsup-without-gui: michelle# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui michelle# rehash Configured my /etc/cvsupfile as shown: -/etc/cvsupfile-- *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_6 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all *default tag=. ports-all doc-all end of /etc/cvsupfile - Updated my system to 6.2-STABLE: michelle# cvsup /etc/cvsupfile (several hours later... ) Prepared my system to build the world. michelle# cd /etc/src michelle# make buildworld (several hours later...) michelle# make installworld michelle# mergemaster This last step makes a lot of questions. I aswered "i" (install) to all of them. Configured my kernel: michelle# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf michelle# cp GENERIC eviruena Added my particular necessities: ... michelle# vi eviruena options SMP device atapicam device drm device i915drm device sound ... michelle# config eviruena michelle# cd ../compile/eviruena michelle# make cleandepend michelle# make depend michelle# make michelle# make install michelle# reboot In this point you have to check that you have the device file: /dev/agpgart, if you don't, perhaps your graphic card is not properly handled by FreeBSD. I installed Xorg 7.2. It can be obtained from FreeBSD packages: michelle# pkg_add -r xorg it can take a lot of time, depending on your ISP. Some others (fearless men) prefer to compile it from the ports, check the file /usr/ports/UPGRADING before doing anything. Now, the problem is to get "gnome" installed. I did not find it in the packages of 6-STABLE, so I compiled it: michelle# setenv BATCH yes michelle# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 michelle# make clean install clean as you can see, I am working with tcsh, if you prefered bourne shell, you have to type: export BATCH=yes instead of: setenv BATCH yes (one day later...) [Michelle (my computer) had some problems to find "opal-2.2.8.tar.gz"; I found it by google-ing it, loaded it in /usr/ports/distfiles and continued Gnome compilation]. Finally, gnome was compiled and installed. Then, I needed to compile beryl: michelle# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/beryl michelle# make clean install clean Next, I had to configure X. It is quite simple, but it is a little tricky: michelle# X -configure I had to make some changes to the configuration obtained above, basicly I needed to include some options that are not loaded by default. I have to say that I own an intel motherboard and I am using its graphic card (it is an i950GM). The X configuration requires to include: (in section "ServerLayout") Option "AIGLX" "true" (in secion "Device") Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" Option "DRI" "true" (in section "Screen") DefaultDepth 24 Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" and, finally, I needed to add another two sections: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection Section "dri" Mode 0666 EndSection You must be warned that ATI and Nvidia Cards may requiere some other options, please take a look at: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/FreeBSD Of course, you can add any other options in your X configuration, v. gr., your keyboard layout or your mouse extensions, in Mexico, for instance, we use Latinamerican keyboard, so I included: (in section "InputDevice" [keyboard]) Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "latam" Now, I had an account and in this account I configured gnome to start with my X session: michelle> echo "exec gnome-start" > .xinitrc michelle> chmod a+x .xinitrc and tested X & gnome: michelle> startx everything worked ok. Now, I opened a system terminal and I typed: michelle> beryl-manager as a consequence of this, a ruby was displayed in my launch bar. I had wobbly windows, cubic desktops, etc. I have to thank to Reid Linnemann from the freebsd-questions list, for suggesting me compile 6.2-STABLE, and to Jose Luis Enriquez, for helping me to configure X. Hope it helps. Cheers, Eduardo. ___ f

I use Postfix with Dovecot and Fetchmail to harvest email from GMail, as well as send it. You mentioned that you did not need SMTP services. Personally, I would loose Procmail. It is a memory hog, and Dovecot with sieve is a better proposition IMHO.

Hi. I know there are a lot of topics about ntfs in fbsd, but I couldnt find any about using /usr/ports/sysutils/ntfsprogs in fbsd to have write support.

FreeBSD 6.2 Mail Retrieval Configuration
Hi all, I am working as a temp co-op student for a small business, and was given my first project. Email responses are part our daily duties in my work environment. We currently use gmail for our three email accounts. One is internal, and the other two are not. Seeing as how gmail doesnt sync with the other addresses, we have to constantly use gmails fetch settings to retrieve mail from the other two addresses. Im in the midst of setting up FreeBSD POP3 and IMAP4 for retrieving e-mail, and (LDAP) for directory services. I need advice on how to configure the clients to retrieve there 2 email addresses from there XP machines using FreeBSD. There are so many ports and packages to use Im not sure which ones to pick, and where to start. Ive got Procmail & Fetchmail installed on FrreBSD. I want to have Exim to hand off the email addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to procmail , which in turn will run it thru SpamAssassin. Then to send a copy to GMail and deliver one locally. Also archives a copy on the server in monthly mbox files as a secondary backup I got 5 days to have it up and running! Any configuration ideas for Postfix, Procmail, Fetchmail The setup will only be used for retrieval only, with no need to use it as an SMTP relay server. Im not looking for a large response, but if anyone could give me some info on what to install (in what order) and how to configure the protocols would be greatly appreciated. There is no registered domain for our company, so my goal is to just receive emails, and store them locally Resource recommendations would help too.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

dhcrelay
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have a set of FreeBSD 6.2 firewalls. They each have 3 interfaces in them. One interface connects to the 10.94/16 network, the other connects the 192.168.4/24, 192.168.5/24 and 192.168.8/24 networks. Here is a breakdown of the interfaces: BSD 1 bge0 10.94.2.222/16 xl0 "up" xl1 "up" vlan2 192.168.4.2/24 vlan3 192.168.5.2/24 vlan4 192.168.8.2/24 carp1 10.94.2.221/16 carp2 192.168.4.1/24 carp3 192.168.5.1/24 carp4 192.168.8.1/24 BSD 2 bge0 10.94.2.223/16 xl0 "up" xl1 "up" vlan2 192.168.4.3/24 vlan3 192.168.5.3/24 vlan4 192.168.8.3/24 carp1 10.94.2.221/16 carp2 192.168.4.1/24 carp3 192.168.5.1/24 carp4 192.168.8.1/24 BSD 1 is the current CARP master for all interfaces. For dhcrelay in rc.conf I have: dhcrelay_enable="YES" dhcrelay_servers="10.94.2.204" # IP to MS Server 2003 DHCP server dhcrelay_ifaces="bge0 vlan2 vlan3 vlan4" dhcrelay_flags="-a" In MS Server 2003 there is a superscope defined with scopes for each network (10.94/16, 192.168.4., 192.168.5., and 192.168.8.) The problem is, it doesn't seem like the BSD box is forwarding the DHCP requests to the DHCP server. It will NOT get an address. If I manually assign an IP address, the client talks fine to the other networks. There are no firewall/nat rules loaded at all.. PF is running but without a rule set it defaults to allow all.. any ideas? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Source Files for SCTP implementation in Freebsd
Hi, I need to port SCTP implementation to RTOS. For that, I found the KAME project (marged with FreeBSD later on) cvs tree with SCTP implementation . I was wondering if anyone could provide the source files name from cvs required for SCTP? Moreover, I couldn't find the file "opt_sctp.h" in the cvs tree which is required to build the project as well. Any help in these regards would be highly appriciated.

First of all, the instructions are published on the FreeBSD web site. You can read them there or download them for yourself. All of that is well documented - much better than one could knock off in an Email reply. Second, is there some special reason you would want to install the 4.8 version?It is long ago obsolete.

Having problems with dhcp6 (still), can anyone help
Hi,
I'm having a difficult time getting this dhcp for IPv6 (dhcp6 from
ports) working. I'm embedding my config files in this message.
[dhcp6s.conf]
# The followings are a sample configuration to provide a DNS server address
# for every client as well as to delegate a permanent IPv6 prefix
# 2001:db8:::/48 to a client whose DUID is 00:01:00:01:aa:bb.
option domain-name "ipv6.isolated";
option domain-name-servers fec0::1;
# The followings are a sample configuration to provide an IPv6 address
# from an address pool 2001:db8:1:2::1000-2000 for 3600[s].
# Note. You have to send an RA to fxp0; otherwise a client cannot be sure
# about the prefix-length and the default router. If you want to prevent
# stateless address configuration via RA, please set the autonomous-flag to
# OFF in your RA configuration.
interface sis0 {
address-pool isolated_pool 3600;
};
pool isolated_pool {
range fec0::11 to fec0::20;
};
[dhcp6c.conf]
# The followings are a sample configuration for requiring the "stateless"
# DHCPv6 service.
interface sis0 {
information only;
};
(There's actually a little more in this file, but it's all commented out.)
As you can see from the config files, in my isolated environment, I'm
using IPv6 addresses fec0::/64 (can't remember the RFC number, that
this is the equivalent to 192.168.0.0).
Basically, nothing is happening. I have a server on which I start
dhcp6s. Using sockstat, I can see that this process is actually
listening for incoming requests. Then, on my client side I start
dhcp6c. Well, to help me work out the issues I installed wireshark to
see what's happening on the wire ... the answer is ... nothing. Not a
single packet.
If there is anyone on this list that is familiar with how to setup
this software, please enlighten me. I'm been searching through what
VERY limited documentation for dhcp6 exists and haven't made any
headway as of yet. I found some discussion boards on sourceforge.net
for this software project, but there was pitiful little there as well,
not to mention only a few postings.
Any help is appreciated.

No worries, just download and install 6.2-RELEASE. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html or a snapshot of 6-STABLE, which is updated in a slow pace, for fixes or security holes. http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/ Releases are considered to be the most stable. Install 6.2-RELEASE and if you feel like updating you can use freebsd-update. Keep in mind that all these new, old, released or other, are relative to the operating system itself and not the third party programs(packages, ports) you'll be using(GNOME, firefox, etc). Ports are not branched and same versions are used in all branches... So, running a supported release does not mean, that you have to run legacy packages.

mount /proc maybe?
you can always use ktrace

will it work (USB<->SCSI)
will this work http://support.intel.com/support/peripherals/xc/portgear/converters/scsi/sb/cs-017202.htm under FreeBSD 6? umass shows like SCSI controller, in the other hand manual says it supports only disks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

ftp woes
Hello all i have been going crazy trying to sort out this ftp problem. I have a server machine that is connected directly to the net i have opened my ipf firewall to accept all connections. At first i thought i did not need ipnat rules becuase this host is not acting as a gateway just a standalone machine. I added these rules to ipnat just to be on the safe side even though i do not have a internal network. # This rule will handle all the traffic for the internal LAN: map xl0 192.168.0.0/16 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp # This rule handles the FTP traffic from the gateway: map xl0 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp # THE RULE THAT FORWARDS EVERTHING map xl0 192.168.0.0/16 -> 0/32 map xl0 192.168.1.0/16 -> 0/32 I tried the default ftpd and lukemftp now i have installed and configured proftpd I can login ok but when i try to do a cd or ls i always get this error ftp new.computerking.ca Connected to new.computerking.ca. 220 ProFTPD 1.3.1rc2 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [68.144.1.51] Name (new.computerking.ca:rmvg): computerking 331 Password required for computerking Password: 230 User computerking logged in Remote system type is UNIX.
