Re: Setting upFreeBSD with D-Link Wireless Router
Yes it's very possible. :-) You may want to check out FreeRadius (http://www.freeradius.org/). It is a free radius server which is what I think you are looking for. I will state that you need to take some time to read up on this a little bit as it can be irritating to set up a radius server if you are not familiar with all the settings. I did this for my D-link AP for fun then went back to wep for reasons I don't remember. Ohh, FreeRadius has a port, so you can start there. :-) It's a popular radius server for *nix. A medium-sized datacenter I worked at used it for all communications gear and dial-up access. Anyways, good luck sir.

You should run mergemaster -p as step 2. The -p means Pre-buildworld. This was suggested on another list actually. Unfortunately, either you are wrong or the FreeBSD docs are wrong. In /usr/src/Makefile the steps are listed in the order I show above. Also, per the mergemaster manpage the -p option is used to update the password database and recreate /etc/passwd. Ultimately, I think that this is an issue with the kernel recognizing the storage system, but I could be wrong! Please do correct me if I am. Quick reminder for others: The 4.4-REL kernel is able to mount / fine, but 4.8-STABLE is not. This may either be a symptom of another problem, or the immediate problem. Is this off-topic for freebsd-stable? --- Dustin Puryear [EMAIL PROTECTED] Puryear Information Technology, LLC http://www.puryear-it.com Providing expertise in the management, integration, and security of Windows and UNIX systems, networks, and applications. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

confusing you.
My manpage must be outdated or just wrong then:
# man mergemaster | grep -- -p

This is from a longer paragraph, and no mention is made of Pre-buildworld
mode. This may be indeed what is throwing me. There seems to also be an
error in /usr/src/Makefile since it states that:
# For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a
# delta of a few days):
#
# 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree).
# 2. `make buildworld'
# 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
# 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
# 5. `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
# 6. `mergemaster -p'
# 7. `make installworld'
# 8. `mergemaster'
# 9. `reboot'
Notice that there is no mention of mergemaster until step 6.
This is a test system, but it's remote and I don't want to clobber it
unnecessarily.

I think this is what is confusing you. My manpage must be outdated or just wrong then: # man mergemaster | grep -- -p the -p option to rebuild your password databases and recreate Read the begining of that sentence. I'll bet it is talking about pwd_mkdb(8) and not mergemaster. Well crap. Still, my version doesn't mention anything about Pre-buildworld mode so the pie on my face is at least tasty. Since you have already updated your source tree, read /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.8 That is the man page for /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh That will explain everything, including when to run it using the -p parameter. That would be pre-buildworld. Will do. Notice that there is no mention of mergemaster until step 6. The Makefile reads the same on my 4.8 system. However, that should probably be updated, as every time I've seen a mention of mergemaster -p on any of the mailing lists, it has always occured before the buildworld. (And that's the advice I've been following since the -p parameter was introduced.) Yes, updating the docs would be very helpful in situations.. oh, I don't know.. like this one. --- Dustin Puryear [EMAIL PROTECTED] Puryear Information Technology, LLC http://www.puryear-it.com Providing expertise in the management, integration, and security of Windows and UNIX systems, networks, and applications. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
