A modern BSD UNIX workgroup - how would you do it?

2003-02-15 Thread BSD Freak
I have an upcoming project to create a modern UNIX (mainly
FreeBSD-based) workgroup computing environment.

If _YOU_ had your chance to do it from scratch, what technologies would
you use? Basically only following are set in stone. Everything else is
up to me:

1. Centralised user/password/account management 
2. 2-3 file servers running FreeBSD, 1 mail server and 1 VPN gateway
also running FreeBSD
3. Workstations will be 75% FreeBSD and 25% Mac OS X 10.2

Most people I have spoken to automatically say NIS/NFS. Although I know
that NIS/NFS is a tried and true combination, I can't help but feel
there must be a better way to do a modern BSD UNIX environment. As silly
as it may sound I am seriously thinking about running Samba for file
sharing services even though this is a fully UNIX environment.
Reasons for this include excellent performance on FreeBSD and better
security than NFS.

Some of the other authentication/account management technologies I'm
evaluating include LDAP and Kerberos. Any and comments/suggestions would
be very well received...

Basically what I'm asking is if you could do it all over from scratch
how would you do a modern BSD UNIX workgroup?

That's basically what I'm asking. HOW do I make procmail the local
delivery agent in sendmail...

Change the local delivery agent in sendmail to procmail.

Getting FreeBSDJumpstart installation to work

2002-10-09 Thread BSD Freak

Hi all,

I have tried this on several different machines and several different 
networks but keeping getting hit with the same error. I configure a PXE 
(jumpstart installation) server (NFS, TFTP, DHCP)  as per the FreeBSD 
Jumpstart docs in the FreeBSD handbook and then try a PXE (Intel NIC) 
client. It all works fine
- The client gets a DHCP IP address
- it connects via tftp/NFS and downloads pxeboot, the kernel and 
mfsroot images
- the BTX loader starts
- the kernel loads
- I get to the kernel configuration menu

Then after proceeding past that point, i get the following:


Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x49435024





Anyone got any ideas? 

Thanks in advance

A cool IPF firewall trick

2002-09-25 Thread BSD Freak

Hi all,

I run several FreeBSD/IPF based firewalls. I would really like to get
some sort of basic visual representation as to what the firewall is
doing without actually logging in and tailing logs. My idea is to have
the HDD LED (red) light up when IPF blocks packets with an ipf block
rule and the power LED (green) light up when traffic is passed with an
ipf pass rule.

Any one got any ideas where I would start to implement something this? 


Thanks in advance
