RE: Netatalk
Gabriel, Ignore Martin he doesen't know how to get it running so he's pulling the old "spurning what he cannot do" refer to the Aesop fable "Fox and the Grapes" for more information. If you run OS9 emulation under OSX you need AFP. Many older print servers only speak AFP AFP handles the split resource/data fork properly, Samba does not. You will see this in a number of minor ways. To get it running: define NETATALK in kernel and recompile cd /usr/ports/net/netatalk make WITH_SRVLOC=yes install add the following in /etc/rc.conf: slpd_enable="YES" netatalk_enable="YES" atalkd_enable="YES" cnid_metad_enable="YES" afpd_enable="YES" cd /usr/ports/net/howl make install cd /etc vi rc.conf add in mdnsresponder_enable="YES" mdnsresponder_flags="-f /usr/local/etc/mDNSResponder.conf then create the config file as such vi /usr/local/etc/mDNSResponder.conf BigMac _afpovertcp._tcp local. 548 BigMac _ssh._tcpServers. 548 MUST BE TABS BETWEEN ITEMS and NEWLINE AT END! BigMac is your servername test with slptool findsrvs service:service-agent and mDNSResponder lookups your problem is that afpd only advertises over appletalk, not over tcp/ip. Since your Macs are all OSX they don't listen to appletalk announcements. They listen to appletalk-over-tcp/ip announcements which use the rendezevous protocol which is what mdnsresponder is all about. One important note - try to keep the samba shares separate from the appletalk shares. Samba clients do not update the desktop file when they move/change/delete files which will result in a corrupted desktop file. (ie: CNID database) If that happens do this: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh stop cat /usr/local/etc/AppleVolumes.default (shares are listed at the bottom) go to each share with the problem and rename the directory, ie: cd /home/shares/Public mv .AppleDB .AppleDB-temp-backup restart netatalk /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh start verify people can mount the shares and get to their files Delete the .AppleDB-temp-backup dirs.

Most people who have POSTED consider Postfix/Exim better than sendmail. This is not at all any kind of scientific or accurate poll. You might consider also that Postfix is under the IBM license which has an "advertising clause" that is incompatible with the Berkeley/ FreeBSD license that FreeBSD is under - and EXIM is under the GPL which is utterly and totally incompatible with the FreeBSD/Berkeley license and would probably cause problems for commercial users of FreeBSD.

IPFW + NATD FORWARDING
Hi, I am having trouble with my IPFW+NATD forwarding. I know a lot of people have and I've googled my ass off. Still I can't get it right. I'm trying to forward port 1213 in/out for dc++ usage. this is my setup: __WAN router (192.168.1.1) | | (FreeBSD gateway/fw NIC1:ath0 (public) NIC2:rl0 (LAN) ) | |__ LAN (10.10.10.0/24) I use stateful rules and I'd like to forward port 1213 both ways using natd. I know NATD should take care of this as long as i allow port 1213 in/out from the firewall. I've tried this at almost every position in the ipfw.rules and now i ask where i should put it?? i.e it's not there right now. I've tried: $cmd [num] allow all from any to any 1213 (at various positions in ipfw.rules) still doesn't work. $cmd [num] divert natd all from any to any 1213. Can someone help me?

I grabbed an ubuntu disc, in the installation I configured each of the three hard drives with a 1GB partition which became software RAID 1, and the rest of the space another partition which became RAID 5 doodah. I configured all this during the installation using that debian installer, booted no probs. Next thing was to: sudo -i sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install netatalk -y OK, done, RAID 5 system, with the OS running on RAID 1, netatlk installed and working a few seconds after, total time was about 45 minutes. I've spent 4 days chasing my tail in freebsd. Wish freebsd would be able to help me out with software raid in sysinstall. I'd still very much like to figure out how to do this in freebsd, but unfortunately spending two weeks to do it makes me look incompetent to my employers. FreeBSD is running a web/database/email server and doing a fantastic job for that, so it might just be a case of horses for courses...

I agree, I did it more as an exercise to learn more about the way FreeBSD works. On my laptop I have only the /home partition encrypted. To answer the original question, however, I always install FreeBSD via a stage install. By that I mean that I don't actually use sysinstall for the final system. I get a USB drive and install the base OS onto that. Then I download the source for whichever FreeBSD version I want; my laptop is running CURRENT, for example. Configure make.conf and src.conf files, create a custom kernel, then make buildworld buildkernel in /usr/src. While the system is building I prepare the actual drive, or RAID array, that the final OS will be installed to. Create your software RAID volumes, partition (slice) everything, if I want to use geli for encryption then I would overwrite the target partition with random data before doing geli init. For my full-disk encryption I actually overwrote the entire disk and skipped slicing altogether. The kernel was later installed to a usb flash drive and the entire disk was used for FreeBSD. So instead of specifying things like ad0s1a in fstab, I simply used ad0a - no slices. The point is that unless someone actually knew that I had FreeBSD installed there, without the flash drive all the data on the disk looks like garbage. There isn't even a mbr to indicate partition types. At any rate, it was a fun experiment. So once the drives are configured, mount everything under /mnt and wait for the source to finish building. After than, you can do `make DESTDIR=/mnt installworld` and just like that, your new system is ready. Well, not quite... Run `mergemaster -iD /mnt` to copy all configuration files, installkernel with KODIR=/mnt/boot/kernel to install the kernel, use fdisk or boot0cfg to install mbr code, and finally 'bsdlabel -B ...' for the other boot stages. Installing the system this way also allows you to configure some things before that first boot. Technically, you can do the same thing from single-user mode, but this way may be more convenient. When you're ready, reboot, change the boot order in BIOS, if you configured everything correctly your new system should boot up with no problems. - Max ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you're on a local network, it can be convenient to control the entire desktop in the few cases where programs can only be controlled via GUI, but for configuring a few web-enabled interfaces, it will take you 10 times longer then just forwarding the control port and using a local browser. Aside from that, last time I tried (a few years back), at least the window manager needs to be installed locally for truly forwarded X11 connections, you can't be logged in under X as that user on the remote machine and by the time I had cygwin setup and working, I would've configured cups 3 times over on the remote machine, using a simple port forward. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There is no point in encrypting the whole harddisk. The OS and ports can be downloaded from the internet. No point in keeping them secret. They might in fact facilitate a known-plaintext attack. The things that you should encrypt are /home and maybe /var. So when installing FreeBSD you should set aside room for slices to hold /home and /var, see below. A possible lay-out would be; / 200MB /tmp 200MB /usr 10GB /var 2BG /home the rest You can find instructions on setting up GEOM_ELI for /home on my website; http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html#home After a reboot you might get prompted for the GELI password before the login prompt, depending on if you've used a password.

If you didn't define the variable PACKAGES in your environment while
compiling, then they are in the directory of the port itself, where you typed
make package.
Note that you can always rebuild installed packages, using:
for DIR in /var/db/pkg/*; do
pkg_create -vb ${DIR##*pkg/} /path/${DIR##*pkg/}.tbz

Getting pidgin(1) to run...
Hi there people! I may be posting this question (which is rather lengthy, I know) on the sparc64 mailing list too, as it might be an issue with this architecture. Please don't complain, just answer where you think the answer belongs. I know that running FreeBSD on a Sun is a rather exotic choice but I like FreeBSD and didn't want to install SunOS (Solaris). This is an Ultra 60 with 2GB RAM and two 74GB SCA-HDs, running 6.2-RELEASE-p7). Everything else is NOT an issue as this machine has no monitor, keyboard or mouse but is accessed only over the Network (yes, X and esd too). Since the result has to work with both WinXP and another FreeBSD-box, I am currenty experimenting with Xming. I don't however think that this is relevant, just giving the info in case I missed something. This constellation works fine so far. I can run all of KDE or single apps without KDE (like the konqueror). Even xmms works fine - including sound and the OpenGL visualisation, although that's a little bumpy over the network. :-) Because the binary packages for sparc64 are always out of date, I compiled Pidgin (2.2.0) myself using the ports. Here are the options I used: [X] SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing support [X] GNUTLS GNUTLS encryption support [X] NSSMozilla NSS encryption support [X] SASL Cyrus SASL support (for jabberd) [X] DBUS Enable DBUS bindings [X] PERL Perl scripting [X] BONJOUREnable mDNS support [ ] SAMETIME Enable Sametime client support [ ] TCLTK Tcl/Tk scripting [X] GTKSPELL Spell checking support [X] GSTREAMER Use GStreamer for playing sounds [X] CAPEnable Contact Availability Prediction plugin After a while [ a few hours :-) ] the computer was done. Starting Pidgin from KDE resulted in it being shown in the task bar at the bottom for about 20 seconds and after that it just disappears. It could however still be found with "ps ax". Pidgin does *not* minimize itself into the tray. It just "disappears". So I decided to start it from the console. It started and kept running, just no window on the server ever appeared for it. ctrl-c did terminate it. Note that in this case I didn't start KDE or any other X application for that matter. I just started Pidgin and had Xming listening on another computer. Since that didn't get me anywhere, I started Pidgin with the -d option. The last three lines you get to see are these (I cut out the time): nat-pmp: found a default gateway nat-pmp: Attempting to retrieve the public ip address for the NAT device at: 192.168.x.x nat-pmp: Timeout: 0s 25us Pidgin can still be terminated using ctrl-c. Since I didn't want to bombard the list with the log, I put it here: http://dresden.icerats.de/specials/pidgin-debug.txt I inserted the line after the ctrl-c. My router is an AVM Fritz! Box Fon 5012. I have not opened any ports for any IM (yet) - at least not for this machine. Because of the last message I see when starting it with -d, I guess that it could be a router problem - I consider UPnP to be evil and therefore it is off. A friend of mine however also uses Pidgin (under Windows) behind a similar router without any problems. nat-pmp could be the problem, as I am not aware of anyone other than Apple having a working implementation of this.

Why do you think I put the "happy hunting" there? Didn't travel quite as sarcastic as the smile on my face when I wrote it. :-) I don't like qmail much and I certainly don't like DJB's attitude in many cases. He had a few good ideas however and it certainly is not my part to try and take that away from him. Besides, I wasn't trying to prove anything about qmail being good or bad but just something about the configuration and the parsing. I haven't looked at qmail in years. Funny that the Version is still the same as when I used it (that could well be 10 years ago). Today I don't really care if qmail is secure.

[...] I know what the Postfix configuration looks like, I've been over it a countless number of times. I know it is simple, even to parse, but there is still no real comparision to qmail's configuration. qmail has several settings that come "one setting per file". IIRC the other settings go "one per line", no comments, no spaces, no quotation marks. I'm not saying the Postfix configuration is not as good or even complex. qmail's configuration is just easier to read and write if both are done be an automation, rather than a human.

Use the force luke
You only need 100 packets (you may decide to increase) that are directed to
your server, to the NFS daemon.
tcpdump -c 100 -nq dst port nfs and dst host $HOST
You don't need to interpret this info, you need to know who is originating the
traffic, lets extract the ip that are originating the traffic
nawk 'BEGIN {FS="[ .]"; OFS="."} {print $4,$5,$6,$7}'
But, who generate more traffic?
Lets count how many packets are originating each one of those ip
nawk '{packets[$1]++} END{for (ip in packets){print packets[ip], ip}}'
And order it
sort -rn
Use pipes to connect all the commands, if this situation is very common,
create a shell.
