Re: [FreeBSD] Silly Question
> fsck is what your looking for. > > To find out more type: > man fsck Hm, not really. UFS doesn't fragment as hard as FAT or NTFS do, so there's no need to actively defragment it. It's just a tad bit more clever with block allocation than those other file- systems. You don't need to run fsck manually, on a regular basis. It's there to fix things when problems appear or you didn't dismount the filesystems normally. In that case, /etc/rc runs it anyway... in some rare cases you need to run it from single user mode, but hey, you'll notice when you need to do that :> Cheers, J. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This has actually cost me quite some nerves as well, before through some debugging and experimentation I found the answer: The kernel expects the first argument 4 bytes below of the current stack pointer, which means you have to put the int 80h call on its own label to get it right.

Re: proxies and firewalls
> I have Lan with private ip address that send packets to > public internet. How does an proxy server solve the private ip > address versus my public ip address problem? Simply through not routing / NATting at all. Instead of just forwarding the packets rewriting the IP headers like a NAT device does, an application layer proxy does the connections to the outside world *INSTEAD* of the client. To use the popular example of HTTP: While a NAT device will just forward and rewrite your query to a server's port 80/TCP and then forward and rewrite the reply according to its connection table, an application layer proxy will do the query *itself*. It will then process the reply, identify whether it looks like HTML that matches its quality/security requirements and then give a friendly reply to the client that originally did the query. Again, the proxy itself plays client on the application layer. This of course means that all outgoing connections are also done with the external IP address of the application level proxy machine.
