VPN
Fellow FreeBSDers, I need somebody to point me in the right direction for VPN access to a central site. I will need to have my home FreeBSD server connected to the central site, and unfortunately, most other incoming VPN connections to the central site will be mostly Win2K/XP. I am just looking for somebody to recommend to me the package(s) that are needed on the server (and my FreeBSD client) that will allow connections, and my main concern is that the Win2K/XP machines do not require any special software installed. The server is 5.3-STABLE. I have looked through the ports collection and it seems that there are many options, but I would prefer not to install each one for testing and hope that somebody has had the same requirements and can tell me what works for them.

Re: Too many open files (Critical, have only one session left)
I have got it before and took appropriate steps using the ideas and tips from you guys. Now I have it again: Current situation on my head-less system is that I do have a single SSH session up. Unfortunately it's not authenticated as ROOT but as an ordinary user. When I try a ls I get : $ ls ls: .: Too many open files in system Trying a su gives: $ su /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Cannot open /usr/lib/libutil.so.3 I would like to add that depending on what the server is doing can determine the best way to attack your problem. I have had web servers go crazy at some point (my server has been /.'d (slashdot.com) once or twice) and pulling the network cable will allow my apache processes to time out and start dying off. After a few minutes, I can su and do a reboot (or whatever.) It doesn't quite fix the initial problem, but does allow me to enough CPU / resources to start the shutdown process. Just my $.02 from experience. Justin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Its not totally obvious, but to connect to the 3dmd2, you need to talk to it via https, not http. So if you have it on the default port of 888, try https://127.0.0.1 and not http://127.0.0.1 Thanks for the tip... but still didn't work. I have set the port to 80, just to make sure it wasn't a browser issue, but it still doesn't work. Again, anybody have any success running the 3ware.com download of 3dm2 using a 7006-2 Esclade controller running the 5.3-RELEASE twe driver?

Which should I use? The twe driver seems to be working as far as I have tested, but do I need the driver downloaded from 3ware to get 3dm2 and the CLI to work? If so, what is the best way to install the driver as I am using this array as the boot disk? I have the same 3ware controller running on FreeBSD 5.2/5.2.1 and it works very well. I use the default drivers (twe) during the installation of FreeBSD. Concerning the admin tools, I installed the port /usr/ports/sysutils/3dm which provides an alert daemon and a web interface to check hardward. In addition, I downloaded the command line tool from 3ware website : the cli program, version 7.7.1 for FreeBSD 4.8 Beta. (it works on FreeBSD 5.2.x serie and should work on 5.3.x). I am using the built-in twe driver and everything appears to be working great. I also downloaded the CLI util from the 3ware site, and after a bit or experimenting with it, I have that working fine as well. As for the 3dm util, when attempting to install from ports, this is what I get: === 3dm-1.10.0.011_1,1 This port is obsolete and should not be used. Please visit the 3ware website (www.3ware.com) for a newer version of the 3dm utility. Well, I downloaded the latest 3dm util, but am unsuccessful it getting it to work. It launches without errors, but when attempting to connect to it's web interface, nothing happens. Telnet'ing directly to it's port (888 by default) and sending it a GET request produces no output, so I am assuming that it is not compatible with the 5.3 twe driver, although the CLI interface is. Anybody been able to get the 3dm2 web interface, downloaded from 3ware.com, working with the twe driver that comes with 5.3-RELEASE?

3ware Esclade 7006-2
I have just installed 5.3-RELEASE on an IBM eServer series x330 with the primary ATA controller being an Esclade 7006-2 with two drives in a RAID 1 array. I configured the array with the BIOS utilities, and when installing 5.3 from the CD, it recognizes the array on the twe driver and everything seems to be working. I have downloaded the CLI util and the 3dm2 web interface from 3ware.com and have been trouble getting them to work. So far, it appears that the CLI seems to be working, although it has been reporting some strange errors, not on the array itself, but on the commands I have been testing. As for the 3dm2 web interface, I can't seem to get anything working there. My question is mainly on the driver though. Which should I use? The twe driver seems to be working as far as I have tested, but do I need the driver downloaded from 3ware to get 3dm2 and the CLI to work? If so, what is the best way to install the driver as I am using this array as the boot disk? Also, can anybody give me some hints and tips on using the 3ware card from experience?
