Planing hardware / software for a potential gro wfs…
Hello, I am planning to setup various services (including mail server, DNS server, hosting / web services) that could potentially grow in a very important way. As a resonable person - I would like to plan It for my actual needs (suiting the first year of exploitation = 1Tb) and after that eventually grow the file system using the most simple and less anoying solution… I wanted to have your point of view on the potential way to build the best hosting solution, knowing that most important things are: - Use (if possible) a 100% compatible FBSD solution. - Also be compatbile with other flavor of Unix (Linux,…). - Offer an expandable and simple to manage solution for storage. - Figure out a good solution for backup. Today I have 2 solutions in mind: 1. Use a blade system including 2 or 3 blades at first with an external attached storage device (whom type has to be defined); 2. Use various servers on their own and dispatch services accordingly on each server. 3. Another solution… I wanted to know: - If anyone has been using blade system with FreeBSD and what problem he has been facing? - If you have some specific advise regarding File System configuration or options? - What storage solution you find best and easiest to manage? Main point is: stability and sustainable. Thanks for your support.

My scope is keep working the three OS. How can i know the correct disk geometry? What am i doing wrong? Well, I don't know why it does not see the free space unless you are looking in the wrong step. There is often confusion by new users who come from the MS world because FreeBSD uses the term 'slice' and MS uses the term 'primary partition' to refer to the same thing. Due to ancient conventions in Bios and etc, there can be up to 4 slices (or primary partitions) on any physical disk. Lunix has its own notion of extended partition as well. Don't try to use that for FreeBSD. FreeBSD must be installed/built in a free slice (primary partition by MS vocabulary). It cannot be put in some extended partition space. It is possible that you have already used up the 4 slices if the laptop manufacturer put a diagnostic utility slice on the drive. That is normally hidden from MS, but will show up to FreeBSD. If that is true, and you have used up the number of slices, then FreeBSD will not allow you to add any. You will need to use a tool such as 'gparted' or Partition Magic to shuffle things around and maybe squeeze the other slices and even nuke one. Then FreeBSD uses the term 'partition' to refer to the subdivisions of a slice. MS has some things called extended partitions which are not the same thing at all. Anyway, the point where you first need to see the free space is in the step dealing with the slices which is done with fdisk(8). As for the disk geometry issue, it normally does not matter. That is the BIOS complaining. You want to just let it go ahead and build things and try to ignore that error message. Once it gets past loading the boot sector from a slice, FreeBSD no longer used the BIOS. It handles everything itself. There are exceptions to this response, but go ahead (once you get the free space issue figured out) and try it and see if it works. It won't hurt anything and if it works, you're home free. If it doesn't then you have some more exploring to do.I am not quite sure what because although I have frequently seen that message - almost all the time, I have never had it not work to just go ahead and slice, partition and build and ignore the message. That is with both IDE(SATA) and SCSI(SAS). So, your real problem is finding that elusive free slice space or freeing up a slice number to use for it.

It was the problem, I had the free space in a extended partition made of ext3fs Linux. The solution was move the space and leave that partition totally unalocated.

visual php framework to handle FTP mail
Hello, I am using Freebsd as a mail server since a long time as an ISP. I have been configuring all my server using comand line and was very happy with that… But some of my clients are asking for a good visual interface that will allow them to manage their mail accounts themself. Of course I am using an up to date FreeBSD server. My mail server is configured using these tools : - postfix - amavisd-new - spamassassin - dcc-dccifd - p0f If possible I would like to have a 100% compatible tool (with a port on the FreeBSD ports) that will allow each of my clients to: - configure e-mail settings for it's own domain. - configure filtering for it's domain. - have a super admin that I will be using to create accounts and do high level admin… - Ideally should be compatibel with PHP5 MySQL 5 - Product should be robust and steady. The same should be true to administer FTP… ideally using ProFTPD … but I am more flexible on that issue. Thanks for your answers.

Re: named problems
Bind works perfectly out of the box on most FBSD recent versions. You should not move things out of the path they have been setup to. Specially on FBSD /etc is reserved for system files. By default bind is installed in /var/named and should be kept there. If I was you I would : 1. install the latest bind version from the port // 2. make sure you don't touch things unless absolutely necessary. 3. copy paste of modify the /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf so that It corresponds to your needs. 4. make sure the /etc/rc.conf has the correct named values. 5. start it with the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ script for named // Been runing this one with 1000 zones as both masters and slave never had any problem. If you have more issue could give you a help on debuging bind. My advice : STICK TO THE FBSD RULES AND PATH unless you perfectly know what you are doing.

Adaptec AHA 29320 SCSI card running at 160 MB/s instead of 320 MB/s
Hello, We just installed a big HA cluster with an intel dual Xeon and 4GB of memory. Two of these units are connected to a promise Vtrack M210p via an Adaptec AHA 29320 SCSI. Dmesg states that the card is running at 160 MB/s instead of the expected 320 MB/s ?? What could we do to change this and have It working at the proper speed.

Re: traffic analysis tools
Le 21 oct. 06 à 16:19, Michael P. Soulier a écrit : Hey people, I'd like something to look at traffic use through my gateway, so I know how much of my upload bandwidth and download bandwidth is in use at any time. This could be donne very easily withe cacti : -- Activate SNMP on your gateway -- Log into cacti -- Select Devices and create a new one corresponding to your gateway -- Select a Host Template of type ucd/net SNMP host -- Add graph template -- Add data query of type SNMP - interface statistics This should be very easy. For security purpose reduce the IP range of allowed hosts in the snmpd.conf Ideally it'll tell me from where, so I can look at internal abusers, or get an idea of where hits are coming from. If your PC's are connected to a switch, activate SNMP and monitor It the same way. Otherwise you'll have to go into deeper configuration of cacti and script the solution to monitor load per IP. Another solution would be to Monitor global bandwith and log into your gateway once you encounter congestion and have a little command like that showing whom the nasty guys are : # netstat -an | less If your gateway is not a FreeBSD - let us know because things could be very different. Off the top of my head, I can think of two tools. 1. ntop - great web interface, but I've found it unstable 2. iptraf - good curses interface, but I'm looking for trend monitoring 3. mrtg - as I'm running snmp, so I could just monitor it from a desktop running mrtg...

Live resizing of a mounted partition
Hello, I am planning to install a remote RAID system. This RAID will be attached to my server via a SCSI attachement and mounted on my server.

HA Cluster based on promise VTrack Mxxx
Hello, I am trying to figure out which hardware to build my HA cluster with. I have seen various promise systems which seems quite interesting (VTrack M210p) but FreeBSD is not mentionned as an official suported OS on their brochure. Has anyone build such cluster with this kind of attachement. The cluster I was thinking about will be built with : - 2 nodes Pentium Xeon with SCSI card - 1 VTrack External Storage M210p (this one has automatic failure detection included on It's hardware). - Linux-HA as a control solution Has anyone built such cluster with these hardware ?

minimum requirements
Thank you everyone for responding to my initial question. In hindsight I realize I worded my original inquiry inaccurately. What I am attempting to determine is how well or if ver 6.1 will work on a 4GB hard drive with a Pentium 4 - 3.06GHz cpu and 1GB ram? The machine has a 232GB hard drive but I have another 4GB drive sitting around being unused that I was thinking of adding to the machine to configure in a dual boot setup with the 4GB drive being totally allocated to FreeBSD. However, before attempting that task I am trying to determine whether or not it would be even feasible to use a 4GB drive to install v 6.1 or should I use a larger drive to install the many of FreeBSD's features? And if a larger drive how large of a drive would I need to utilize many or any of its features without limiting myself to a bare bones setup? Additionally, if the 4GB drive will work how limited would the install/capabilities/features be? I am not at all opposed to using a larger drive but at the present time do not have a clue as to what size drive I should use for the most flexibility regarding type of installation options. -art - Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Needing a guide/tutorial please
Looking for a guide online somewhere that will walk me through setting up a mail server with the following items on it. SpamAssassin Postfix (pop3 and smtp setup) MySQL (for database driven mail user administration) MyPHPAdmin (to visually admin the database) Squirrelmail (for webmail) Apache (for squirrelmail) Dovecot Imap (for squirrelmail) Postfix Admin - this is the reason for the need to have a mysql driven mail user database. It's apparently required for this to work. Plus database driven user management tends to be easier. Of course, if you know of a better way to graphically admin mail users without using a database, I'm all ears. :) And lastly, some kind of web based server admin page that's similar to webmin, but more secure. I want to setup a mail server with all these elements, have postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot be database driven and somehow create a mailbox tree for the webmail users for saved, spam, sent and trashcan folders. Also, lastly, which format for mail is better? Maildir or Mbox? I'm partial to Mbox, but I've heard some others say Maildir is better. The server is only going to host about 30-40 users for a realty company, so security is priority, plus it needs to have ease of administration because the guy who's going to admin this in the end (I'm just building it, he's maintaining it) isn't unix savy. I've already done a lot of google diving, but with little luck. Hence why I'm asking here. If someone knows of a good guide or series of guides that'll help me through all this, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm used to doing this the hard way with sendmail and the regular freebsd users through the console. So I'm really new to postfix, but I'm using it because it's supposedly more secure. I'd have the guy who's admining it do the same, but he's too green in the console to risk it. ;) Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide. :) Steven Lake Owner/Technical Writer Raiden's Realm www.raiden.net A friendly web community Steve, Youve asked at lot of questions in one here. For 30 to 40 users what you are proposing is way over the top, I would stay away from mysql etc. I am using qmail + courier(pop3 imap) + calamav + squirrelmail etc base on the installation from http://www.qmailrocks.org/ with some tweeks from Bill Olson's site http://www.goodcleanemail.com/ for spamassassin rules and learning etc. Bill's site is useful as he uses FreeBsd. I also used the Chkuser patch (rejecting mails during smtp for non existing users) from John Simpson's site http://www.jms1.net/ + block lists. The setup uses web based qmailadmin for managing mail boxes. It has been running for nearly 2 years now and the only maintanence has been updating clamav and tweeking the spamassassin rules. BTW qmailrocks has an updated script for a freebsd installation using most of the latest sw from ports. Although this is Beta3 it works - just used it for a small business, there is also an active mailing list where Bill and John are posting. Hope this helps and guys please no postfix is better etc. Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: SAMBA as Domain Controller on FreeBSD 6.1
Hello everyone! Good Day! I am using FreeBSD 6.1/6.x version of Operating System. I plan to switch my existing PDC Win2k Advanced server to FreeBSD with the power of Samba. Anybody may I know of how would you setup SAMBA as PDC in FreeBSD 6.x? I know this is not good question for asking HOWTO but the good procedures and right samba configurations might lead me up during installation process. I am hoping for your kind consideration and favorable response. Great many thanks. Regards, James G. Corteciano James, There are good examples on the Samba site. You just have to be aware that file locations are different on Freebsd and some commands don't exist. Having said that they are a godd source.

Also the H-sync should prolly be 50 hertz locked as this seems to be PAL's standard refresh rate. X might be defaulting to the low end which is causing the flicker.

Then use maybe a tr (translate I think its tr, never really used the command) to change things like Vendor: foobar in the pciconf -lv output to vendorVendor: foorbar/vendor hardware Hardware: RAID controller /hardware or whatever XML tags you want to use using the acutal output data from pciconf -lv as a starting point take this tagged file and insert it into a properly defined XML file with the header defined and a proper root tag like [standard XML header info, may be system specific based on encoding and what not] server_information_(insert the output of uname -a here for completeness) output of the tr stuff could prolly be catted into this after the header is defined. /Server_information_`uname -a` making tr work line by line with exception handling for all the tags it might encounter is something I would have to look into more myself. Then you could write up a CSS or XSLT stylesheet so it will display this information to a webbrowser however your want. Once you have figured out what tags you want to use this shouldn't be too hard. I guess a script file would be the easiest way to accompish all this in hindsight,as all the commands I've used are standard shell commands. Putting it all together is going to take more thought then what I can give it at work right now. The stylesheet could be stored on a central server of your choosing and added to the header for the XML that the script file generates. If this is still not very understandable I will see if I can generate a shell program to get things started. myunderstanding is once the shell is installed it should be runable by anyone with access to pciconf, tr, cat, and maybe a few other commands like date and whatnot for documentation sake; which means any user should be able to run and install the script in their home/bin directory. As far as uploading this file to a database that is beyond the scope of my feable mind, but I don't think it would be too hard to accomplish if someone was more familiar with db or whatever other database you want to store this by. hope this gives you more of an idea as to what I was getting at, hopefully there will be more to come if I figure this thing out; I need to learn how to process XML for a little project I'm working on for a friend anyway. The good thing about this is once in XML I know there are stardard ways of serving the XML file with a webserver for display.

Re: **SPAM** binary upgrade issues
I also wonder why these binary update and upgrade are not legitimized in the freebsd core distribution. An important reason why linux is used by more is its easy update solution similar to Microsoft's Windows Update. Sure make world is fun especially to developers. But providing easy update and upgrade tools in addition will attract a large user base who just need a stable and easy to use operation system - and many of them can be companies who can be potential donors to the freebsd project. So the effort to this path will be well rewarded. We're moving in that direction. Everything starts out by being experimental before becoming officially supported and endorsed. Colin Percival I acutally find it better to do the make world then to deal with binary updates because if it builds on your system it will typically run on your system, as well as there not being silly little incompatabilities with the system libraries and binaries. I find updating linux to be the most god awful prospect on earth which is why I switched to FreeBSD for the most part. It's probably gotten a lot better since Redhat 7.x which is what I was using. Gentoo is a lot better but I haven't had a working system since they updated the kernel to xx.xx.15 and put gcc 4.x into the base system... but to each their own, I know a binary update would be nice when I start deploying things like desktopbsd on my friends PCs who don't get formatting a harddrive let alone building software. However this would mean the builds would have to be generic i586, i686 and on an old p3 500mhz machine building for a specific processor with specific optimizations can make a huge difference in performance. Even more so on p2 166 machines. Again to each their own. But I wouldn't tout Microsoft update as a good thing becuase there are known bugs where updates can erase previously updated code with old buggy code... sorry been a long day had to end it with blasting microsloth... -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Re[2]: Mounting a drive
Keep in mind here without special device drivers (I've heard they exist but have never installed any of them) you will not be able to mount a Linux (linux uses several different file systems) partition under Windows XP. Disk Manager will allow an NTFS filesystem directory mount an arbritrary Volume (a file system windows supports, fat, fat32, ntfs, maybe hpfs) on your system to overcome the DOS (it is not a Windows limitation, Microsoft is still running a 16 bit world) limitation of 26 drives, 24 of which can be harddrives. Mounting isn't really a function of the filesystem (maybe in Linux it is???) but of the vnode system. It allows a device (any specially configured file) with a known structure to be referenced within the context of a root directory structure, superceding (non-destructively...) whatever was in the mounted directory prior to the mount. In other words it lets the partition (I'll keep the spcial files simple) be seen on a filesystem to people with the appropriate credentials, and by mounting say /foo with say the special file /dev/da0s1a anything in /foo will no longer be seen by the vnode system and instead anything on /dev/da0s1a will be displayed in it's place. It would seem that unless you are installing Linux on an Fat32 filesystem those partitions would be useless within windows. You wouldn't be able to even edit configuration files with Windows (the editors that come with windows) editors because they will add line feed (maybe it is carridge returns I always mess this one up) to the text and Linux won't like that. Any further help with Linux should be in another mailling list, but if you want to put FreeBSD on one of those memory sticks I'm sure we would try to help... Windows is just about useless, it doesn't even support the now 5 year old or so 64-bit processors...

There is such a proliferation of abbreviated titles that I am not always sure from titles of their purpose. My question referred really to Windows XP, as I am only just getting to grips with Linux. First of all, it has nothing to do with LINUX. This is FreeBSD which follows the BSD family of UNIX and is not nearly the same. In fact, most of us experience it as superior to LUNIX for server work. Check it out at: http://www.freebsd.org/ As for any Microsloth stuff, I couldn't help, but I would guess that you are wasting your time trying to do anything of that sophistication in MS. Finally, when you post questions or responses on the list, you should always include the list in your responses (as a cc). jerry I had read an article recently, which I can no longer find, that to get around the limitation, under windows XP, of the number of named partitions that one can use, that apparently one can mount a partition, be it a sector of a hard drive, or a removeable drive, within a directory. ( I believe the article said directory, it might have ben a folder ) The article was referring to the ability then to have a number of flash drives or external USB connected drives which could exceed the normal Windows limitation. I am running a piece of software, hyperOS, which allows me to have multiple bootable partitions, and currently I have around 20 on a 300 Gig hard drive, I wanted to add several USB memory stick drives and some partitions with different flavours of linux, and so am interested in finding out how I can overcome the windows XP limitation. I felt that also I needed to understand what the term mounting a drive actually meant, so that I could try to anticipate any unusual behaviour, particularly with boot switching. From your email it appears that mounting implies letting the device driver know the address of the device upon which it is to work.

I know it tells me a file is missing /compat/ndis/Reg?? something or other. I have not looked into the man pages for this file but I would have to guess it is just a registry layer for tweaking the driver. However the module loads without errors and ifconfig says the device is detected, and all the lights on the card start blinking. I just have a nasty WPA key that I've been too lazy to copy from my Windows partition to verify that everything is indeed working (and I refuse to leave my connection insecure even for a second or three.)

There is a line which the script will spit out for you that won't compile correctly. This line has something to do with switching the credentials of an unkown user to that of an administerator user or some such thing along those lines. This line has to be commented out of the INF file for everything to work correctly. I do not think this line effects the driver but nobody becoming root is something FreeBSD doesn't seem to like and justifiably so...

The developers of the Release you are running seem to think GCC 3.4.2 was a stable enough compiler to run the system and build things correctly. I'm not the worlds smartest programmer, but if GCC 4.1 was good enough to build FreeBSD I'm sure it would be part of the BASE system. Your best bet would be to install it from ports and use it with the appropriate environment variables. Keep in mind if this is anything like Gentoo the GCC 4.x and 3.x libraries ARE NOT compatible. If it works like Gentoo replacing 3.x with 4.x you WILL BREAK otherwise functioning software when the standard libraries change. Again if it works like Gentoo this is KDE at the very least. This means all the ports would likeley need to be upgraded. Of course if your do get GCC 4.1 to properly compile a FreeBSD World target (lots of hackign here to replace the Compiler portion of the World target) perhaps the hacker mailing list would be interested. And if I'm not mistaken Rel_6.X still uses the 3.X gcc suite. I would have to check it but I belive it is 3.4.x or 3.5.x... Latest and greatest isn't always the best thing, stable and old means consistent binaries. It's your call, but don't replace the BASE compiler unless you fully understand the implications, and like hacking code to make the World target build and the kernel so you can get benefit from using the newer version of GCC.

the most convenient way to batch build ports is to use
this sort of if statements in make.conf
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/databases/mysql*}
BUILD_STATIC=yes
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes
.endif
#reference
#http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/01/14/upgrading-ports-and-preserve-make-options
this will work with portupgrade even in dependancies
because the port will always look to make.conf for
default system settings.
so
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/foo/bar}
BATCH=yes
WITH_THISOPTION=yes
WITHOUT_2NDOPTION=yes
.endif
will build with and without those options. just
remember to prefix the OPTIONS in a menu config setup
with WITH or WITHOUT to enable/disable what you want.
Always make sure to remember WITH_FOO=no means
WITH_FOO=yes, it should be
WITHOUT_FOO=whatever_it_is_now_set. The good thing is
individually you can choose to use one setting over
the other, and this also ensures one ports options
don't mess things up in another ones build. I know
when I was blindly setting build options in make.conf
weird problems began to arrise until I got errors
about make.conf being too large.
this can make make.conf get large so I've been meaning
to move the port configs into port.conf instead and
reference it in like
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr/ports/*}
include /foo/port.conf
.endif
I believe this is the correct syntax but I haven't
tried it yet. This method is how I am batch building
my servers. Ultimately I will make a Makefile to build
what I need and let it do its thing.
I wish this method was documented better. Although it
is trivially simple if one understands makefiles so I
can see why its not really discussed. It is none the
less very effective and simple.
What I would like to know is if there is a simple way
to get the build options for every port in the
collection so it can easily be brought into a
port.conf file simply. I know I saw a command that
would parse the makefiles of all the ports and do
something to that effect but I can't recall it.

I bet your problem is you kept changing your mind with sysinstall, it got confused and never let your choose your distribution, and now its all messed up. That usually messed up my installations in the begining. Windows is cool, but I can't remotely login to windows over a SSH session on my Treo and run update my system while I'm on the road for work. *BSD is the future, because Microsoft won't be able to release their garbage too much longer and be taken seriously. Especially now that they have gotten into the anti-spyware market. Why pay for a license to an OS that I need to pay for another license from the same company to make the OS secure I think RTFM is in order, I know it sounds cold but I've taken the time to read countless man pages to figure out my problems. Remember BSD isn't setup for you out of the box, that would violate the spirit of Unix; but its got thousands of help files built in to the system. You can't say that about windows, their help is useless average joe BSD user venting back ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe the error is something about inodes missing or being corrupted. this exact command syntax works on everything but my usr filesystem. The restore man page does tell you why this happens (I know because I was just reading it today :-)) You are doing this dump on a Live Filesystem. To do that use the -L option to dump (FreeBSD 5.X or later) which will snapshot the filesystem first. Either that, or do what we had to do for years and drop down to single-user mode and make sure no processes are running to change the filesystem. Dump needs the filesystem to be static. Then when you restore you will get precisely *one* similar error (at least on 5.4), which I can't explain but can say *does not matter*. I have restored several such dumps and compared them to the original filesystem and they are fine. You should do that yourself for your own peace of mind. (I do similar to you but with gzip and on 5.4). The error you'll get should be: expected next file inumber, got inumber A file that was not listed in the directory showed up. This can occur when using a dump created on an active file system. and I think it must be some artefact of the snapshot/dump interaction. If you use -L and *still* have trouble then it sounds like a bug. --Alex I wasn't aware booting off the cd and running fixit made my filesystems become live... I have noticed myself this error occurs at least once every once in a while and things are fine. I always assumed the .snap directory from a newfs was at fault, but because it always worked was never concerned until a screen full of these errors occurred and restore halted on me. I suspect this is a bug because it looks like I forgot the most important part of my dump command in my previous post. dump -0 -C 32 -f - /dev/ad2s1f | ... ... sorry about that I knew it didn't look right. I know I had no issues with rel_5 on this matter, course I was dumping and restoring to respective slices in one pipe command. It was only when I tried on the laptop and was forced to use a backup device to store the dumps that this became an issue. I will make another dump of my laptop when I'm am out of work and post the results and or errors I encounter. including the command lines verbatim as typed into the shell. If I have to use tar its not that big of a deal, but if it is a bug I would like those with the ability to fix it have the correct information they need. going to have to add C programming to the yak-shaving list... At present it is only conjecture. I will also check on my server as it is a newer source build to see if I get the same results.

Re: Help with installing php4 and upgrading mysql323 for Apache 1.36
Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out what and how to install and upgrade some programs/modules. This was very simple when I last did it, but I haven't been around doing this since version 4.7 was new and now some things have changed. Server is now 4.11 STABLE (or will be on monday). I have the latest Apache-mod_ssl installed and I need to have the latest mod_php4 for Apache aswell as upgrading mysql to the latest of the 323 version. (Perhaps I'll go for mysql 4.1, but I need to verify this with some software running on my system first.) What port/modul should I install to get php4 working under apache? I used to install mod_php4, but from my /usr/ports tree this seems deprecated to me. It's also important that I can make the php4 module work together with mysql 323. Any help very much appreciated! Thanks a lot. Best regards, Andreas Andreas, As 6.x is out, 4.11 etc will soon be no longer supported. You should consider updating to 5.x at least if possible. I'm running 6.1 with no problems. mod_php has been deprecated as you found out. Use the php4 port instead which has the functionality of the mod_php4 port.

However, the werid promt you have is probably the normal prompt. With Linux and Freebsd you have to install a gui seperatly in most cases. If you want to try Linux have a look at Ubuntu, they have a live gui desktop CD that runs from the CD without touching your hard drive. They will even send you the CD free.

Re: Moving From NAT to Multiple IPs - Server Considerations
Hello, I've recently started to work from home so the limitations of one IP address are really starting to gripe me. I've asked my ISP to order me a block of 8 ips. What considerations so I be looking at when managing the IP server address change. I'm not too concerned about the services going offline as they are not used for anything critical and in any case services such as SMTP and incoming e-mail have fail safes provided by my dns provider. Do I need to install IPFirewall or will the server just close all the ports that it is not using and be fine and dandy that way. Any recommendations on good articles for installing IPFW. I've googled but I am looking for something which allows me to do the basics but also talks about the more advanced stuff such as blocking logins on SSH after x attempts. How do I manage the change from NAT to multi Ips. Does the server still get given an internal IP address on the lan and then the router redirects the external IP to that machine or does the machine have to be told that it is now listening on IPs x, y and z. Any help appreciated. Cheers Richard -- Richard Collyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Richard, You have asked a number of questions in one here. There are a number of ways to do what I think you are trying to do. The way I have my systems setup is problably the simplest but it depends on what you want. My setup is the modem (no NAT or Firewall) on the 1st IP of the block (my ISP calls it this the gateway address) this connects to a switch. I have a firewall/nat/router (smoothwall) connected to the switch which does the NATing etc to my internal network. The servers (Web, mail etc) have 2 ethernet connections, the 1st is on the external switch with an external IP and all the ports closed except those necessary for the function. The 2nd (if you like the control connection) on the internal network with things like the ssh oport open. There are plenty of Howtos on IPF etc - just use Google. Also have a look at the smoothwall site, IPcop is also good. Hope this has given you some ideas. However, please remember anything connected to an external ip does need a firwall.

Re: Bind as a chaching nameserver
Hello, I've recently been getting a lot of trouble with SpamAssassin performing a lot of rDNS lookups which is causing network issues (timeouts etc to DNS servers). I am trying to install BIND (or djbdns) as a simple caching nameserver. Just to take some of the load off the networks DNS servers (my ISPs). However I am having trouble finding a good tutorial to follow. I've looked at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dns.html but its mainly going on about being a nameserver which is not what I am after, wanting to keep it more simple than that. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc] $ named -v BIND 9.3.1 Can anyone suggest me a good tutorial to follow, I've googled but mostly they are for debain/redhat and some of the commands and files are different. Cheers Richard Richard, What you need is a caching DNS. See para 25.6.7. If you don't use forwarders this will bypass your ISPs DNS. There are other solutions too, try Google for them.

Murphy at work, again, eh? :) i did download the patch and recompile it, but as some have also noted on this list, that it still banners as 8.13.4 when you telnet to it. so, the past couple of days, i have learned to cvsup my /usr/src directories. ive just been using the standard copy of the stable-supfile. i have learned that if i perform the sendmail recompile after the cvsup, that it sendmail seems to proclaim 8.13.6 in the banner. on top of that, i have learned that if i recompile the kernel after cvsup, that it no longer says FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, but FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE. You are running RELENG_6 now, which is much more recent than RELENG_6_0_RELEASE. The first one is the top of the 6.X branch, which changes moderately slow, but it *does* change. The 6.0-RELEASE source tree is frozen in time at the point the tag was placed on the source tree. my questions: 1) after cvsup, i think i can assume that sendmail is now compiling from sourcecode that should definatly be free from the current exploit. i would also assume that anything that i would need to recompile from /usr/src should also see the benefit of 'latest source code'? Yes, both true. 2) on a production server, should i avoid recompiling a kernel that will be FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE? on the whole, how reliable is the bulk of these newer sources that were pulled down by cvsup? In general, if you a bit paranoid, you should avoid running RELENG_6 on a production system. At least until you have thoroughly tested it on a test system and found everything working as expected. i can definatly see the benefits of using cvsup to take care of problem with some things (like sendmail), but allowing it to update everything under the /usr/src tree, im wondering if i could be setting myself up for issues (by not editing the stable-supfile and taking only what i need). This is why each FreeBSD release is associated with at least: * A frozen tag, like RELENG_6_0_RELEASE * A security branch, like RELENG_6_0 * A stable branch, like RELENG_6 Changes go very fast in the CURRENT FreeBSD branch. After they settle in for a while, soem of them are backported to the RELENG_X branch. The RELENG_X branch changes much slower than the experimental, CURRENT branch, but it does change every time a new feature is backported to RELENG_X. Then, when security fixes are made available, they are added both to the RELENG_X branch and the RELENG_X_Y security branches. If all you want is the frozen release sources plus changes that are really really necessary, because they fix a serious security bug, you probably want RELENG_X_Y (RELENG_6_0 in this case). Regards, Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] thank you kindly for your reply, that was quite informative. ive actually read the document on the differences between the stable, current, and release (or whatever), and find that system quite confusing for the moment. im sure ill grasp the method of the madness eventually. i guess what confuses me, is that i read about those, and then try to find them on the ftp sites. i assume, that only release is made into a .iso file? and to move to a higher version (either the security RELENG_6_0 or stable RELENG_6), you do this thru the cvsup tool. Yes, as far as I can tell that is correct, it confused me at first. The iso image is the latest release for each branch. so, by your descriptions and reply to my previous comments, my system that is running what says 6.1-PRERELEASE is really RELENG_6 (stable) ? Again correct. Don't forget 'stable' is not that stable it is a snapshot of 'current' that is stable enough to be released. thanks, Jonathan Horne The other confusing this is that the tags only realy refer to the 'userland' ie the core system. The ports get updated as and when. On the system I am currently working on which will be a production server, I don't whant too much change when in prodction so I am following the 6.0 branch at present (RELENG_6_0). I have portaudit installed which tells me what ports have been updated through security issues and I can decide if I need to update them. Apart from that I will probably leave it alone.

rebooting and crashes on dell server
Theres alot to this problem, but I'll try to be concise so I don't loose people. I started out with a cheap dell server running scsi raid and 5.x It crashed or locked up with a kernel panic in a different process (everything, syslog, you name it) ever few days. I swapped ram around figuring it was at fault since it was bought used on ebay. Still no luck. Tired of messing with it, I bought a new dell poweredge 2650, with scsi raid, a couple gigs of ram, duals, and just a new system, configured it, copied user data over and switched to it. Sure enough still the worst stability I've ever seen. It has dual power supplies, each in a different UPS. I don't believe power is the problem or I'd see similar problems on the other server or router I have plugged in there. I even upgraded to 6.0-Release-p1 but no luck. It panics from time to time, but usually now it just randomly reboots. Often at least every 36 hours. Often 2-3 times a few minutes apart when it does. I did install a debug kernel 2 weeks ago to try to get a crash dump, but no panic's since then. My make.conf is pretty simple: KERNCONF=crapbox CPUTYPE?=p4 CFLAGS= -O -pipe NO_BLUETOOTH= true# do not build Bluetooth related stuff NO_I4B= true# do not build isdn4bsd package NO_LPR= true# do not build lpr and related programs NO_GAMES=true# do not build games (games/ subdir) MAKE_IDEA= YES # IDEA (128 bit symmetric encryption) # added by use.perl 2005-09-29 11:26:41 PERL_VER=5.8.7 PERL_VERSION=5.8.7 Its not all that stressed of a box: load averages: 0.14, 0.07, 0.06 Mem: 235M Active, 367M Inact, 160M Wired, 33M Cache, 99M Buf, 81M Free Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free I've tweaked all the kernel values mentioned in the tuneable section of the manual, but the reboots continue. The box runs radiator (a perl based radius server), apache+mod_ssl-1.3.x with php5, postfix-2.2, amavisd-new-2.3, courier-imap-4.0, pure-ftp, nrpe (nagios), net-snmp, ssh, and bind 9.3.1 all from ports (except radiator). I run the same mail server setup on another server with no problem, although it processes far less mail. I use radiator on another server with no problem. This is a unique combination of packages I'm running, but no unique programs or configurations to this server. Between amavis and radiator it does alot of perl, and everything is a mysql lookup to another server. While all logic and experience points to a hardware problem I feel like the complete hardware replacement has pretty much laid the blame on software. I'm open to any suggestion as to what I might need to look at to clear this up. I'm about to have a nervous breakdown and insteall debian in desperation heh.

Re: Multiple DNS
Le 19 févr. 06 à 08:46, Robert Slade a écrit : Hi, I am looking for some advice. I have a network which is based on a number of servers running FreeBsd 6.0 serving Win XP work stations. (yes I know but..) The network is large enough to use DHCP and DNS for the internal network, I have setup a DHCP server with a Dynamic DNS (Bind 9) on one of the servers. That server is handling the LDAP side of the domain. Is your DNS server busy resolving internal requests or external ones ? Mostly external from what I can ascertain, it looks like the mail server (Qmail) doing lookups. There appears to be a fair bit of DNS Traffic which leads to a secondary DNS being required to take some of the load as DNS lookup are slow. The question I have is should I just setup a cashing DNS on another server using the primary as a forwarder or even several servers eg the mail server and the secondary LDAP server, or should I setup a proper secondary DNS using my ISP as a forwarder with dynamic updates from the primary. You should not forward anything to your ISP. This is probably the main reason for your DNS beeing slow. You should make shure you have well defined your network in your conf (so that you don't resolve queries for outside users...)- I would not advise you to forward any queries to your ISP as this will disable the capacity for your own server to build It's own resolver database and forward all the queries to the ISP (resulting in slow answers)! I've now taken out the forwarders. Normaly you should configure the master and the slave to be authoritative for your internal domains. And configure the master and the slave to resolve ALL the Internet domains for your internal network and none for outside domains. That is how I have setup the master, it only answer's queries from the internal network. DNS is very tightly related to network... And we don't have any clue for the topology of your Net. SHORT ANSWER : DON'T FORWARD -- BUILD YOUR OWN DATABASE!! Sorry if this is a bit vague, but I have no experience in this area. Rob Thanks for the info, it has helped me. I had misunderstood the forwarders bit.

Re: WinSCP mega-slowness
Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one seing this. Right now both machines are running FreeBSD, since I gave up on waiting for Windows to copy the files. The CPU load on Window when sending 1 meg per second is usually about 30%, while the Unix box is only at 1-2%. When I have 2 Unix boxes sending/receiving, I think the load is like 4-5% on both. I'm building a bunch of packages right now, so I can't get the exact number. I could try the openssh patch later in the week, that would be great if there was a unix-side fix for this. Of course as I run FreeBSD more, and Windows less, the problem will go away, too. thanks!

I copy lots (300GB) of large files back and forth between machines as I try different OS's, and I always see this. Specifically, if I copy from FreeBSD to FreeBSD, files transfer at 11 megs per second. Between FreeBSD and Linux, at about 8 megs per second. Between FreeBSD and Windows, about 1 megabyte per second. This is on identical hardware. I've told other people about this, and they usually say I must be doing something wrong, but recently a friend of mine upgraded a Windows box to SP2, and now they are getting this same slowness. When I copy from Windows to WIndows (XP or W2k), I get 11 megs per second. My machines are two P4's with gigabit NICs, and I'm using WinSCP and (somtimes) pscp.exe on WIndows to talk to sshd on FreeBSD. It's always a shock when I have to copy my data to WIndows, and it takes 30 hours instead of 3. Does anyone else ever see this slowness when copying files between FreeBSD and Windows? Is Windows maybe capping the transfer speed when it talks to Unix? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is very certainly a known issue. Not that its specifics and origins are clearly known, but most of us stumble upon it sooner or later. You can usually achieve wire speed only between two OSes of a kind. TCP/IP optimizations are very important here: if they differ, performance plummets. Depends on a multitude of things from quality of NICs to weather in your area. I've never been able to get more than 70Mbit/s between FreeBSD and Windows XP. I always get 90-100Mbit/s between two BSDs or two Win's. As for your case, 1MB/s is a serious limit. What can you tell us about CPU load? Interrupts? Can you try this: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ If you have both the XP and FreeBSD machines on the same internal network, why not enable file sharing on the XP box and use Samba Client on the freeBSD box. I have found SMB to be a lot faster as it is running as a service on XP.
