I have tried dvdauthor, but > the app kept crashing. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Hi. I don't normally back up DVDs so I'm not sure the best software to do that. I did a quick ports search and "multimedia/lxdvdrip" looks nice, and may do exactly what you want all in one program. As for dvdauthor crashing, I would guess it's because you're not giving it the right format for a DVD. AVI files can't go to DVD, you need to convert it to MPEG-2 PS and the proper specifications. For this, I use a GTK+ program called Avidemux2 (it's in multimedia/avidemux2), although ffmpeg or mencoder should work also. Here are my steps for an AVI file to DVD: 1) Avidemux to video "DVD". Set aspect ratios in "Configure" and set "DVD Res" in the "Filters" area. If the audio is not already AC3 (check from the A/V information button on the toolbar), set audio to "FFM AC3". Set output format at bottom to "MPEG PS A+V". Save the video "filename.mpg". This one is the longest step, the other two are quite a bit shorter. 2) Take outputted mpeg file and run it through dvdauthor: dvdauthor --video=ntsc+16:9+720xfull -t -f filename.mpg -o output 3) Burn the authored DVD with dvd+rw tools: growisofs -dvd-video -Z /dev/cd0 output For a simple backup though I'd check out lxdvdrip or search through ports to see if there is a faster solution. I don't see much sense in going from DVD to AVI then back to DVD when you can just rip directly from the DVD and burn it back. I provided that info for when you want to author your own videos though. :) Hope that helps. -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm using an Athlon64 3000+ (and the amd64 version of FreeBSD) as my main workstation. I also have another workstation with the same CPU running the i386 version. Here's my opinions: Flash - The 32 bit Linux binary of Flash 7 works in linux-firefox or linux-opera fine in i386 or amd64. The 32 bit Linux version of Flash 6 works somewhat with linuxpluginwrapper and the native Firefox on the i386 version of FreeBSD, although I've found it to be somewhat unstable and crashed quite a bit. There's also a project Gnash that is an open source Flash player, but I have not tried that one yet. Acrobat - The Linux binary of Acrobat 7 works for sure in the i386 version of FreeBSD. I have not tested it on my amd64 one (I just use xpdf), but the port's Makefile says it works and I don't see why it would have a problem. nVidia Drivers - Work great in the i386 version of FreeBSD. Does not work on the amd64 version yet ( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=41545 ). Java - Got it to work on i386 version of FreeBSD (interfacing with browser not attempted, just for OpenOffice), but have not needed to or attempted on my amd64 box. I'm not sure if it's even possible for amd64 or not (as the Makefile I looked at shows only for i386), but someone else will know. For my purposes, there really isn't much that the amd64 version cannot do that the i386 version can. I would like the nVidia driver to work since I have a decent video card, but the Flash and Java I don't really care about much anymore. I use the native Firefox compiled from ports for my browsing and just fire up linux-opera whenever I need to see a Flash site. Me personally, I prefer AMD hardware over Intel and would get the Athlon64 regardless of if I run in i386 or amd64 mode FreeBSD. However, be sure to check your AMD64 hardware against the compatibility list before buying. I had to buy a replacement motherboard real quickly one day after one failed and I didn't fully check out the list before buying. When I got it, it turns out the onboard NIC and sound didn't work with FreeBSD in i386 or amd64 mode. I already had a NIC and sound card ready to go from the previous machine, but now both PCI slots on the Micro-ATX motherboard are taken and unfortunately I can't put in a SCSI card. The amd64 motherboard list is here. Note that "amd64" in this case means the hardware itself and not the OS version, so if it's not listed here then the i386 version probably will not work either with that hardware (I found that out the hard way): http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html For sound cards, I have found the Sound Blaster stuff to work well with FreeBSD so far. I'm running an Augidy 2 Platinum in my main machine and it works better than on Windows (had tons of skipping problems that never could be solved -- thought it was a bad card but moving to FreeBSD eliminated them). The cheaper SB LIVE cards work too, and some of my machines have onboard which work great also. Hope that helps. :) -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Suppressing permissions reset
When doing a "make buildkernel" and "make installkernel" on FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE (on a Vmware box), I noticed the Makefile in /usr/src/etc, for one, tries to reset permissions on files taken from a series of *.dist files. I find such initiative a bit too forward for my taste. Is there a way I can suppress said behavior? Like a Makefile parameter or something. And would zero-ing out the *.dist files do the trick?

Hi. I had the same problem until doing this from pkg-message: -- Moreover, some users report that the emulator does not work for them unless they mount the Linux process file system. To mount linprocfs, add the following line to /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 and reboot the system. -- It loads up after doing that, but all I get is a black screen (with a CD or ISO) so it does not work for me.

Re: FreeBSD Wireless Access Points with Atheros Cards
Nick,
I tried this maybe a month back. I added an ath card to a firewall
(becoming
the third NIC) and set it up following the directions. While I could connect
to the access point/firewall, I could not get to anything beyond it. After
some reading, I decdied to buy a standalone access point and replace the
wireless ath card with a wired card to use to connect to the access point.
The standalone access point (Netgear) wasn't that much more than the card and
from everything I have read is the better way to go.
If you are able to sned data through the access point, I would love to
hear
about it...
Sincerely
Mark

After building new machines with fast hardware, reinstalling Windows, and not even having that many programs installed or running...it would freeze up, be slow after a week, have the explorer.exe constantly crashing, etc. I couldn't reboot every week, so I finally switched to FreeBSD on the desktop and everything is going great. > Looking through the ports collection I found avidemux2 and kino.

I suspect the capture hardware will be an > issue, but I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks in advance for > any input. I use Avidemux2 on a daily basis for converting video files. It's awesome for converting and setting simple in/out points in a clip, but it doesn't have the functionality of a timeline or effects, etc. You can load in another clip and "append" it to the current one and then export it to whatever format though. I have not been able to try Kino yet. For some reason, whenever I start it, I get: (kino:8760): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_move: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed ...and the program never starts. I've contacted them about it, but the developers were not sure. It could be that I'm running the amd64 version of FreeBSD, and it may work fine in i386. There are a couple other programs you might want to look into -- multimedia/jahshaka and multimedia/pitivi. I've used Jahshaka 1.9a9 from ports and it's not the easiest to use nor the most stable, although the functionality looks great. They have an updated 2.0 RC3 on their site for which the screenshots look amazing, however it's still an RC so it's not been updated in ports yet (and it seems to be a hard one to compile yourself). I have not tried Pitivi. On the hardware, I'm not sure if it would work. I do most of my capturing on the one non-FreeBSD machine I have left -- a Mac with Final Cut Pro. However, I have been able to capture directly from my Canon GL-2 via Firewire on my FreeBSD machine using fwcontrol(8). From there, I take the .dv file, run it through ffmpeg to output it to a format that Avidemux2 can load, and then use Avidemux2 to export that further or do basic cuts. I suggest trying them all and seeing what works best for you. :) Hope that helps. -Mark P.S.

So since you're replacing the MB, why not take the opportunity to > use something suitable. Because it means introducing a whole slew of new, unknown variables. :) When I first installed 4.10R, it did not even support the 8237; and disk performance on that board was limited to a terribly slow Multi-World DMA 2 mode (I think it was that; very slow, at least). So, imagine my delight when 4.11-STABLE supported the 8237 at last. Buying a newer type motherboard for 4.11-STABLE (where would you find one for socket 754, so soon replaced by socket 939, anyway?) would likely mean an unsupported south-bridge chip, and being back to square one. Nope. I'm gonna stick with what works for 4.11-STABLE (as that is still my preferred FreeBSD version; and if I cannot find a new motherboard after the new one dies, I will just continue to run the whole thing in a Vmware box). As for the LAN, since I only have a 100 Mb network, I see no reason to assume even a less than ideal performing gigabit LAN would slow things down (unless its performance dropped below 10%; and I'm sure it's not that bad). In fact, not to be unnecessarily contrary, but I would ere say this motherboard is totally unsuited for desktop use (I have a shiny P5WD2 Premium for that), and that this board is rather ideally suited for a FreeBSD 4.11 system. - Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I haven't been able to track down where this is occuring, but changing the ownership of /usr/X11R6/lib back to root and refreshing the cache fixes this sort of problem for me. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Problem with wireless card drivers
Do you still have the wlan device compiled in the kernel? I would also make sure to remove the ral device, as this is for the same chipset family but your card uses a newer version that the native ral driver does not support but I could imagine it might create difficulties. All I can think of...

Re: Firewall with 3 NIC (1 wireless) problem
Dennis, Thanks so much for your help. Here is the ifconfig -v and netstat (a variety) from both the client and firewall. Both the client and the firewall have an ath0 (192.168.2.1 for firewall, 192.168.2.5 for the client) and a bge0 (192.168.1.1 for firewall, 192.168.1.2 for client). After booting the client, I disconnect the ethernet cable on the bge0 interface to force traffic over the wireless ath0. I am by no means a professional, I may have missed something or be doing something fairly obviously wrong.

Firewall with 3 NIC (1 wireless) problem
I am attempting to add a wireless capabilities to an existing network /
firewall structure. I added a wireless NIC card to the firewall (Netgear
WPN311) and followed the wireless instructions. I also added a similar card
to an existing computer (Netgear WG311T).
The Firewall's internal wired network is on 192.168.1.1 and the
Wireless card
is set to 192.168.2.1
The client computer can find the wireless network and I can ping the
wireless
card (192.168.2.1) However, I can get nowhere else. I cannot get to the
wired subnet nor outside access to the internet. I tried adding a bridge
from the wired to the wireless network interfaces but that did nothing. I
tried putting the wireless Nic to 192.168.1.249 but that made things worse.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Both client and firewall are running Freebsd 6.1 Relevant (that I can
think
of) files from the firewall are included...
Thanks in Advance.

Re: Only One SATA Drive Detected
Mark Kane wrote: Hi everyone. I'm trying to reinstall FreeBSD on a machine that had a hard drive failure early this week. I bought two brand new 80GB Seagate SATA drives to do mirroring and started to put things together this afternoon. I didn't know initially if the onboard SATA controller would work or not, so I only opened one of the drives in case I needed to replace them with PATA drives. I installed FreeBSD on the first drive with no problem, so I proceeded to open and put in the second one. I started the install again so I could set up the mirroring, but only one drive was detected. I checked the BIOS and both are detected there, so I booted back into my install of FreeBSD on the one hard drive and got a dmesg, which is attached. I also tried to install with just one drive on the secondary SATA channel, but the install does not detect that drive at all so it cannot continue in that case. I found someone with the same problem (although different drive company), but there was no solution: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-March/003343.html My hardware is: MSI K8NGM2 (nForce4) 2x Seagate 80GB SATA FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE [i386] So in short, only the primary SATA channel works. Is this fixable? I have not tried 7-CURRENT yet because this is a production workstation, but would be willing to try if you think it would help. Thanks very much in advance! -Mark I guess I didn't search good enough. It looks like this is the same issue as PR amd64/95554, except it also exists on i386. I just tried 6.0-RELEASE [i386] and both drives are detected correctly (in the install at least). Sorry about that. It's been a hectic week with the drive dying due to a power surge/problem (even behind a surge protector) and trying to recover data and get replacements here quick.

Only One SATA Drive Detected
Hi everyone. I'm trying to reinstall FreeBSD on a machine that had a hard drive failure early this week. I bought two brand new 80GB Seagate SATA drives to do mirroring and started to put things together this afternoon. I didn't know initially if the onboard SATA controller would work or not, so I only opened one of the drives in case I needed to replace them with PATA drives. I installed FreeBSD on the first drive with no problem, so I proceeded to open and put in the second one. I started the install again so I could set up the mirroring, but only one drive was detected. I checked the BIOS and both are detected there, so I booted back into my install of FreeBSD on the one hard drive and got a dmesg, which is attached. I also tried to install with just one drive on the secondary SATA channel, but the install does not detect that drive at all so it cannot continue in that case. I found someone with the same problem (although different drive company), but there was no solution: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-March/003343.html My hardware is: MSI K8NGM2 (nForce4) 2x Seagate 80GB SATA FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE [i386] So in short, only the primary SATA channel works. Is this fixable? I have not tried 7-CURRENT yet because this is a production workstation, but would be willing to try if you think it would help.

Is it recommended to allow all outgoing connections from your firewall??
Hi, I've seen most people allow all outgoing traffic originating from the firewall itself... Is this really recommended?? What if the machine have been compromised and the intruder have installed a program that let's him access the machine remotely by having the program itself to initiate the outgoing connection to him thus defying the incoming connection firewall ruleset...

threads in 5.4 and 5.5
Hello, What is the canonical way to compile programs that use posix threads on freebsd 5.4+, with gcc? I've seen comments that say that -pthread, used in 4.x, should go away for 5.x. But, for example, /usr/ports/security/openssl uses -pthread. So, use it? Don't use it? Should I care? And what does it mean when a program works with one thread library and not another? I've got a case like this: libpthread.so.1: chew up cpu, then SEGV libthr.so.1: chew up cpu, but works! libc_r.so.5: works great! This is changed with libmap.conf. Does this point to any particular shady coding practice? Once I know that libc_r is my friend, does this suggest a certain set of compile flags and/or link flags?

"Inappropriate file type or format" error when accessing berkely DB file via perl
I am trying to access my squidguard berkely db files via perl and DB_File
(as per the SquidGuard docs)
When I run the following perl snippet
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DB_File;
my (%url,%domain);
$DB_BTREE->{compare} = \&domainmatch;
my $domain_db =
tie(%domain, "DB_File", "/var/db/squidGuard/warez/domains.db", O_CREAT|
O_RDWR, 0664, $DB_BTREE) || die("domains.db: $!\n");
$domain_db->put(".six.com","") unless(exists($domain{"six.com"}));
$domain_db->sync; # Seems to only sync the last change.
undef($domain_db); # Destroy the object
untie(%domain); # Sync and close the file and undef the hash
The following is returned
domains.db: Inappropriate file type or format
When I do a file /var/db/squidGuard/warez/domains.db
the following is displayed
/var/db/squidGuard/warez/domains.db: Berkeley DB
(Btree, version 8, native byte-order)
When I create a db with perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DB_File;
my %database;
tie %database, 'DB_File', "createdb.dat"
or die "Can't initialize database: $!\n";
untie %database;
exit;
then
file createdb.dat
reveals :-
createdb.dat: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
I suspect the version 2 / version 8 is the srouce of my innappropriate file
type or format error!
So .. I tried reinstalling DB_file guessing that it had some kind of
dependency on DB3.. Thsi had no effect. I tried reinstalling Perl itself.
Also no effect.
So I am a bit stuck, How do I get DB_File to play nice with DB3 or should I be
trying some other method to access these files.

Mac OS X has a complete unix freebsd-like core called darwin ( http://www.darwin.org ). There's no reason to install freebsd on it. Just install Mac Developer Tools (included in the Applications folder), compile your favorite progs and go. Have you actually tried this? Installing ports from FreeBSD is about 50x easier than getting software compiled/installed on a Mac. I've been working with the Macs here at the office for a few weeks, and I've come to realize just how wonderfully well-maintained FreeBSD's ports are! I'd take FreeBSD over MacOS any day. Perhaps it will get better over time, but I'm not impressed with it right now. At the risk of digressing on this topic, I want to add that I am actually at this point deciding between FreeBSD for the migration (i.e. 4.x on an old Gateway to 6.x on a Intel Mac Mini) and Ubuntu. The idea of moving to Ubuntu is that it might be simpler and less time-consuming to maintain a package-based system rather than building so much from source as I end up doing on FreeBSD. And that the fact it is a GUI-focused distribution might simplify things a bit (the idea being that Ubuntu has a very set design, less open-ended than FreeBSD, perhaps easier to upgrade?). The GUI might also help when others who are less unix-savvy than I have to or want to work with the server. I considered migrating to OSX on the mini, and I do maintain an OSX Server machine at work, but I don't like the lack of a port system. Everything has to be built and fitted in manually, and all monitoring of updates is also manual labor. Fink has its usefulness for desktop software, but the server packages are lacking. For the record, this server runs apache/php/mysql, exim, cyrus-imapd, proftpd, netatalk, samba, spamassassin, clamav, squirrelmail, mailman, and DNS. Stuff like that. It has about 20 users, it isn't super busy. So, how about it? Is the concept of running this off of Ubuntu being easier than FreeBSD just a pipe-dream? I have messed with Debian and Ubuntu, but never tried to run a server off of either. I would love to hear from people who have been down both roads, whether there is some sense to it, or if I should just stick with FreeBSD.

Re: Problem install 6.0 (release) on Sony Vaio TX610P
Just a note to let you know that I have fixed the problem with the
detection / driver allocation of the onboard NIC in the Sony Vaio TX610P
(might be useful for others so I write for the archive) ...
I am new to FreeBSD so apologies if I get the exact details /
terminology of the fix wrong (it worked for me though).
The source for the fxp driver is in:
/usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c
The NICs that this driver knows about seems to be hard coded in a table
in the source.
I inserted this line (at line 180 in the 6.0-RELEASE code):
{ 0x1069, -1, "Intel 82562EM/EX/GX Pro/100 Ethernet" },
And re-built and re-installed the kernel. All worked fine after that. I
think that this NIC is common to the Sony Vaio TX series (to date at
least) so the same fix should work for other TX series machines.
Now to fix the problem with the wireless card...
Best wishes,
Mark

Re: mouse scroll up problem
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and optical Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer, USB native, plugged to PS/2 port via it's own USB->PS/2 adaptor. When I scroll my mouse wheel up in X11 it acts like "scroll up + left button one/double-click". For example, in Opera, Firefox. In MS Windows mouse works correctly. I am running the same mouse in the same way on the same release. Here is what is working for me: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Protocol" "sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection moused_enable="YES" # don't use type "auto" with KVM moused_nondefault_enable="NO" moused_type="ps/2 -l 2" # -l 2 for scroll (fails in _flags) moused_flags="" I have changed settings as Pete advised. Both variants (old and new) are working (scrolling) but described effect remains. Why I think that scrolling up works as "scroll + left click": for example, in Opera scrolling up at the top of document (when real scroll is impossible) result in marking the word under cursor and appearing context menu for very short time. I've been having the same problem since updating to Xorg 6.9.0 two months ago. Before that, this problem did not exist for me. Here are a couple examples of what I see with use: 1) I'm going through my inbox in Thunderbird and I start scrolling up using the wheel to see messages. In addition to going up the list, it's also selecting all the emails that my mouse pointer happens to touch when I move the wheel up. This isn't good because then it marks lots of messages as "read" when I really did not read them. 2) I'm in Firefox viewing a website. I take my mouse pointer and hover over a link or a bookmark on my bookmarks bar. I keep the mouse over it and roll the wheel up once. It selects that link or button and goes to it as if I had left clicked on it. Unfortunately I have not found a solution, but this is my configuration that was working for months up until upgrading to Xorg 6.9.0 (and is what I still have now): Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection No flags for moused are in rc.conf.

Ofcourse this does not cover the IP|MAC address checking you mentioned, but I don't see how this enhances security. It will be easy for a user to change his IP|MAC address. Our main problem is that in our company, each user has his own workstation(no one else uses it).. However, due to poor implementation of ip allocation strategy, any user can change his ip to whatever ip address he wants, thus it would be hard for us to really monitor who is doing this and who is doing that (because it would be useless to see the ip address of the one who's eating up or bandwidth or doing p2p when we cannot determine who is this user this ip belongs to.

Authpf is somewhat close to this idea but perhaps it was designed for environment wherein users have no permanent workstation, or user can come from any location, even outside the company(at home) I have created a draft of my proposed solution: First, user will authenticate to a web based login form which is tied up against the ip[f|fw|tables] ruleset. When the user submits the form, the cgi will then verify if the user is really who he claims to be by doing an ldapbind using the credentials provided. Also, the script will check if the request is coming from an ip address that is assigned to that user, by comparing it to his ldap attributes (somewhat prevents users from using other user's ip address). If everything goes well, the script will happily change the router's firewall ruleset to allow the user to pass thru. (note that in our setup, we have allocated a single class C ip block for all the staffs(120) (no need to have separate blocks since all policies applies to all). Also, we have placed all the servers (mail, proxy, file, printer, im etc) in a different block to make sure that authentication will happen first before a user is allowed to access any of those servers. Next, we will also provide a logout form(the same as logging out from ssh session in authpf) so that the ruleset can be reverted back when the user does not want to access any network server anymore. The problem with this is that users may be too lazy to logout to the network authentication.. In authpf, even the user did not logout from his ssh session, when he turns off his computer, the ssh session will automatically be terminated. I'm thinking perhaps I can have a nagios server constantly monitoring each user's network connectivity and then changing the firewall ruleset once the user's machine is unreacheable... Another problem I am thinking is that, when a user has already authenticated to the router and have his ip address verified and has been allowed in the firewall, another smart user might immediately change his ip/mac address to that of the authenticated user, and thus making it hard to track his network activity again..

ipfw plus authentication???
Hi I am looking for ways to manage our LAN by having each user register their ipaddress, mac address, workstation os, etc. in our ldap directory. Now in our pcrouter, the users will first send his login credentials to the pcrouter, and then the pcrouter will check against ldap if this login is correct, and if it is, then it will now do an ldapsearch/compare operation to see if the source address (ip/mac) of the user trying to gain network access is indeed belongs to that user. Only then, the ipfw ruleset will be changed to allow traffic originating from this source address... Anyone have gone with this solution before?? Thanks - Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

How do you divide your network?? (do you use vlan??)
Hi, How do you divide your network?? Our current setup looks like this. Given all switch are unmanaged. 1 pc router has two interfaces. 1st is the uplink to the internet and the 2nd is connected to our private lan switch. Now this private lan switch is then connected to each switch of every department.. Network A.) / uplink(public) / [pcrouter] \ \ 10.10.x.x [private lan switch] \ / \ \[dept3 switch] / \ 10.10.3 [dept1 switch] [dept2 switch] 10.10.1 10.10.2 Now the problem we have encountered with this setup are: 1. mixed broadcast.The pc router has only one private interface which is aliased to every subnet. (all traffic pass thru it, don't know whats the implication of this) 2. a user on dept1 switch can use ip addresses that belongs to dept2 or dept3 making it hard to track down the source in case there's a flooding going on. 3. When the router died all departments dies. No failover.. 4. Haven't tried this yet, but can I implement DHCP with this kind of setup?? Now trying to revise the network diagram, I came up with network B. This time the same setup as network A but with failover plus the private lan switch is managed, with possible port filtering so that only ip's belonging to a subnet is allowed to connect to that particular port. Network B.) :...carp...: :: [pcrouter1][pcrouter2] \ / \ / \ / \ / [private lan switch] ---> managed switch with port filtering / \\ / \ \-[dept3 switch] [dept1 switch] [dept2 switch] Questions in mind: 1. Did it prevent mixed broadcasts?? 2. Again, is it possible to use DHCP since all are still connected to only 1 aliased interface. / Network C.)/ [pcrouter] /| \ / | \ [dept1] [dept2] [dept3] Now in this setup, router will no longer have a single aliased interface. Instead, it will have one interface for every subnet.. Also, I'm assuming that dhcp will be close to possible by now. The same with mixed broadcast... (although i'm just assuming) it will be easy to prevent?? Problems: 1. failover was gone.. When the router dies, every department dies. 2. any other negative implications?? Network D.) [main uplink switch] / | \ / |\ / | \ [pcrouter1] [pcrouter2] [pcrouter3] | | | | | | [dept1switch] [dept2switch] [dept3switch] problems: 1. costly... must maintain a lot of pcrouters (we have more that 3 departments), no more space in our noc. Network E.) Same with network B, but now with VLAN implementation... I don't want to divide the network by physical topology since users frequently transfer to other departments...

Benjamin Lutz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello jay, I see no place for a wireless network in a professional network. It's hard to secure it (it's possible, encrypted-VPN-over-WLAN works, but it's difficult and expensive to set up). Stick with a wired LAN, and there'll be one security threat less that you have to worry about. No, problem with this as we already have wireless authentication wherein users are forced to login before accessing proxy servers. Keep in mind that a DHCP server needs to be in the same subnet it serves. Other services do not have this requirement. So you mean, If I have 1 pc router that has maximum of 8 lan ports, I can't do dhcp on 8 networks?? Let's say, dhcp will listen on each interface and serve only the assigned subnets It sounds like you're planning to have all subnets connected through this one FreeBSD box. This is not necessary. You can put a router in between subnets, and have that one located elsewhere, where it's more convenient. My partner say that having a separate pc router for each subnet and placing it in their designated area is not an option. He said we should try having a redundant/failover central pc router instead. If we were to deploy 5 or more of those, we should put it somewhere we can access it easily.. that is here in our NOC, at the 3rd floor. Unfortunately, we don't have much space left for tower pc's unless we can afford to buy rackmounted servers... Even purchasing those 5 servers will be a big issue And here's another thought: reliability and redundancy. Computers fail. If you have one central router that everything goes through, not only is it a performance choke point, but it'll also bring the whole agency to a standstill if it should fail. Maybe there isn't a better way to do things given your resources, but if there is, try to limit the impact of potential failures.

It's hard to secure it (it's possible, encrypted-VPN-over-WLAN works, but it's difficult and expensive to set up). Stick with a wired LAN, and there'll be one security threat less that you have to worry about. No, problem with this as we already have wireless authentication wherein users are forced to login before accessing proxy servers. Keep in mind that a DHCP server needs to be in the same subnet it serves. Other services do not have this requirement. So you mean, If I have 1 pc router that has maximum of 8 lan ports, I can't do dhcp on 8 networks?? Let's say, dhcp will listen on each interface and serve only the assigned subnets It sounds like you're planning to have all subnets connected through this one FreeBSD box. This is not necessary. You can put a router in between subnets, and have that one located elsewhere, where it's more convenient. My partner say that having a separate pc router for each subnet and placing it in their designated area is not an option. He said we should try having a redundant/failover central pc router instead. If we were to deploy 5 or more of those, we should put it somewhere we can access it easily.. that is here in our NOC, at the 3rd floor. Unfortunately, we don't have much space left for tower pc's unless we can afford to buy rackmounted servers... Even purchasing those 5 servers will be a big issue And here's another thought: reliability and redundancy. Computers fail. If you have one central router that everything goes through, not only is it a performance choke point, but it'll also bring the whole agency to a standstill if it should fail. Maybe there isn't a better way to do things given your resources, but if there is, try to limit the impact of potential failures. Distribute things like routing, and most of the network will keep working if one machine fails. Or, if you can, make things redundant. Cheers Benjamin - Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Re: Small Laser Printers
Robert Uzzi wrote: Any one using a current small laser printer that cost's in the 100 to 200 dollar range. I've been looking at several to print Invoices on but I keep running in circles trying to figure out if they will work. If you got something in that range to work which one? Hi. I bought a Brother HL-5250DN laser printer a couple weeks ago and it's been working extremely great. The setup was extremely simple with CUPS. I just put in the IP address of the printer (it's a network printer) and copied the PPD file from the CD. Then restarted CUPS and it's working (and tons better than my Lexmark Z52 I might add :D). PriceGrabber shows it right at $200 right now, but I got it locally for a little less with a price match. I looked into the smaller Brother models (such as the HL-2040) that are less money initially and was going to get that one on sale at Staples that week, but in the long run with toner and drums the 5250DN is a much better deal. Plus it has the networking so setup is real simple. I have to say that if you plan on using AbiWord with it, it might not work for you. There is a bug report on their bug tracker about it and when I choose the Brother printer to print to, it just prints a blank page (and shows one in Print Preview as well). Printing to the Lexmark Z52 works fine so it's not all printers, but just with some lasers I think (Bug #7852).

Need some tips in reorganizing our LAN.
Hi, Right now, I'm working in a poor government agency where the network is not well organized. Its hard to trace users that are doing this stuff and doing that.IP addresses are scattered all around the 3 story building.Switches are cascading everywhere.. Everything is a disaster. When a machine is infected with some worms, its trivial to track it down..When one is doing p2p, no one can stop him. Perhaps the reason why this is happening right now is that the former network administrators did not consider the scenarios that will happen in the future, like increasing number of users and workstations mobilization of employees from one area to another, etc. Right now, we have a freebsd 4.7 lying in a dark room not far away from where I am right now. And it is indeed the center of our Local Area Network.. Guess what, it has only 2 interfaces. One connected to public, and the other connected to our private switch. That private interfaced is aliased to multiple subnets like this: 10.10.1.1 10.10.2.1 10.10.3.1 10.10.4.1 10.10.5.1 This interface is connected to 1 switch and then 5 or more switches are connected to this main switch. Those 5 or more switches are then scattered to every area of the building. I know you are thinking a lot of negative things about this setup, but this is what it really looks right now. The MIS suggested a LAN transition project, and I was assigned to lead the team. Right now, we are only two in this very big team. :-) I'm just wondering if I will ever gonna finish this project or not. I have a lot of stuffs mixed up in my mind right now but I really don't know where to start. I have these in my mind right now: Connectivity 1. wired 2. wireless Machines being hooked into the network: 1. servers 2. workstations 3. testbeds 4. personal (laptops etc.) Will use DHCP Will use centralized directory service Will use centralized authentication We have at most 150 employees... We don't have that much to spend on equipments like managed switches, powerful servers, etc. We have a lot of political issues that needs to be resolved regarding network usage policies All these stuffs, basically mixed up in my mind. I really have no idea where to start aside from creating a purchase request for a new PC router and a multiple port lan card, which I already did a week ago..And it has not arrived yet. :-) Please help me. I told my partner that services configuration is just a piece of cake once we already have a definite plan. I really don't know where to start. I'm not even tasked to do this... I'm just tasked to help my partner who is a member of the poor MIS. At first, I thought this would be just as easy as upgrading the machine to FreeBSD 6.0 and then reconfiguring the firewall ruleset, but I was wrong. If you have any Network Transition plan that you may want to share to me, please do so. Even if we don't have that much similarities in our network setup, at least the non technical part like planning etc... Thanks Sincerely -jay - New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

It would just decide to freeze up for no reason. It would happen usually at least once a week, and it was fairly common for it to lock up during the O/S boot. It would never lock up in BIOS though. After replacing every single piece of hardware in the machine, aside from the motherboard, nothing seemed to help. Upon further inspection of the motherboard, just before looking to buy a new one, I noticed bulging / leaking capacitors around the CPU socket. It looked like *all* of the most important caps were knackered. I am suprised it managed to turn on and stay up (for a while) at all. Just the other day I ordered some good brand name caps (Rubycon MCZ's) and replaced all but 3 of the original capacitors on the board. It's been up for 11 days with no signs of locking up. Before leaving it on again I tested it out, just by restarting a fair few times, to see if it continued to lock up during O/S boot. Not *once* did it lock up after the capacitor replacement jobby I did. It appears to have solved all my instability problems! It may be a long shot, but it's perhaps worth perhaps checking the capacitors and making sure they're in good condition. Even a slight bulge is the sign of a failing capacitor, as far as I am aware. The tops should be *perfectly* flat, and nice and shiny :-) Of course, you may not be comfortable taking a soldering iron to your board. If you do discover bad caps and would like to have them replaced by someone with experience, take a look at www.badcaps.net. They offer a paid service for capacitor replacement. Not exactly certified by any motherboard manufacturers or anything, but appears to have a lot of experience. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??
Hi, Ok here's our problems. Mostly pertaining to tracking down who is this user eating up our bandwidth or who is this user flooding our network. 1. Users when they want to plug a machine to the network... let's say their own testbeds, they will choose whatever ip they want possibly stealing used ip's. 2. Users workstations are mixed Windows and *nixes. Most windows machines are getting infected with worm from time to time... Some of them are not so skillful enough to clean their own workstations. Given an unmanaged ip allocation, it would also be hard to trace which machines are causing the network congestion. 3. Some users with public workstations and testbeds are eating up bandwidth through file sharing...Still hard to trace this without proper ip allocation management. Erik Nørgaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I once set up such a solution in a student house with about 120 users. People had their own private pcs so we couldn't just take away their admin rights on their own pc. Now, question to ask: - Are all users legitimate users? Do users have friends coming in and connect to the network? is it wired or do you have neighbors trying to use the net also? - What is the benefit of stealing another users ip? Do you have limitations on access such as download? Is it to hide behind another user? In our case we had a wired network, so all users was legitimate users, but we had a limitation on download so some users would try to use their neighbors ip to get more quota. What we did was: 1) Static ip assigned with dhcp - people wouldn't need to learn to configure their computer. 2) Static arp table on router, to spoof, one would have to spoof mac-address. 3) Require registration of all hosts owned by the user: To hold users accountable for their hosts. 4) Count traffic per host, up and download, this was done with ipfilter. 5) Make current usage visible, the users could always check their quota and knew when they hit the limit. That way they didn't get surprises and annoyed. This actually worked fine. It was sufficiently complicated to spoof that people wouldn't bother. A different and possibly better way around this would be to limit bandwidth for ports higher than 1023, this is where most file sharing takes place. You can do that with packet filter, I still haven't figured how to effectively implement traffic quotas on packet filter as accounting is not so easy. If your concerns are people trying to hide behind others identity, or unauthorized access such as if you have a wireless lan, then there are two good options: 1) Use authpf with packet filter. This requires the user to authenticate with the firewall to get access. No proxy needed. 2) Let each client establish a VPN to the router, this have the advantage of also encrypting traffic if you have a wireless or non-switched network.

How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??
Good day, We are trying to reorganize our local area network and I need some tips on how you are managing your own lan... We have a vanilla pc router with interface facing our private lan and interface facing the Internet. One problem which we are experiencing right now is that any user from private lan can use any ip address he wants. If he boots his computer with a stolen ip address, the poor owner of that machine(not active at the moment) will give automatically up his ip address to this user. The same scenario for public ip addresses. Basically, we need to track down the users through their ip address.. But this is trivial as of now since anyone can use any ip he wants. Even if there is a solution out there to tie up his mac address to his ip address..(sort of checking the mac first before giving him an ip, possibly through dhcp..) still, users can just download applications which will enable him to change his mac address Now, where thinking about authenticating users before he is allowed to use a particular network service(internet proxy, mail etc.) because I guess it is a clever way of keeping the bad users from doing something bad within your network when after all, the reason why he is plugging his lancard to the network is to use a particular service. However, it still doesn't keep them from playing around and steal other ip addresses or mac addresses and thus denying network access to those legitimate owners. I'm thinking about tying dhcp with authentication, and freeradius comes to mind.. I just need some more tips from you. User's workstations are mixed Windows and *nixes. Some have laptops with wireless interfaces. Any idea how to handle this situations?? Thanks... - New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

I tried your utility to change the PCI timings as I have not been able to check in BIOS yet (I don't believe it has those settings anyway). I performed various tests while increasing the value for the sound card to several different values. I have never had to do this before so I just guessed at a bunch of numbers, and then returned it back to 32 which is where it was originally. Some numbers I tried were 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 (which auto set it to 200), etc. None of the changes seemed to change the crackling of the sound at all. I stopped and restarted the song each time after changing the settings and before accessing the hard drive to test, but still no change.

It should be:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto",
"/usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird");
in ~/.mozilla/firefox/profilename/prefs.js
Or enter "about:config" in the Firefox address bar and search for
"mailto". Then double click "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" to set it.

/dev/cuaa gone in 6.0?? /dev/console doesn't work...
Hi, I'm trying to secure our cisco router by hooking its console to a freebsd 6.0 box. I was reading this document: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/10/11/FreeBSD_Basics.html It seems like /dev/cuaaN has been replaced by /dev/console. On my 6.0 box, I can't seem to find /dev/cuaaN... I tried using /dev/console instead and I got the same response "Connected" but it hangs... I can't do anything. The command I used was cu -l /dev/console -s 9600. On an older box (4.11) I used "cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600 and it worked. I got the login prompt of our router. If ever I would make everything work... does this mean that only one user can connect to our router or does freebsd have some sort of pseudo consoles???

network monitoring system with downtime reporting
Hi, I'm looking for a network monitoring system with downtime reporting. Currently, we are using nagios for services monitoring and mrtg for traffic monitoring. Do you know any tool which can report the downtimes of a particular customer's internet link? We need it because from time to time, customers are asking for rebates because they say that their link went down a couple of times, and mrtg cannot show this accurately..

Re: 80 pin SCSI hard drives.
Alfredo Finelli wrote: I have 80 pin SCSI discs mounted in hot-swappable trays on a SCSI backplane which takes care also of powering them up and of SCSI termination. This is one way of using them. I also have the same drives in a different system connected to normal SCSI LVD cable using small adaptors which have an 80 pin receptacle on one side and a 68 pin SCSI connector plus 4 pin molex power connector on the other, as well as jumpers to define SCSI id. In this second case you have to provide the required termination of the SCSI bus (e.g. using the right terminated SCSI cable). So you can confirm that using these adaptors works OK? When I bought my SCSI drive (off eBay) there were more SCA drives for sale than 68-pin but doing some research about 80->68 pin adaptors I found a lot of people saying not to use them, including Adaptec: This from Adaptec's ASK knowledgebase http://tinyurl.com/b3ofa "Although there are adapters on the market converting 80 pin to 68 pin they are not supported by Adaptec or the hard drive manufacturers. These convertors can cause loss of signal integrity that may result in connectivity issues and data loss." This put me off getting a SCA drive. Now I'm looking for a another drive and SCA ones seem to be cheaper on eBay.

Hi, We have a couple of cisco routers. There was one time when suddenly we cannot login remotely via telnet. I investigate further and was shocked when I found out that there where 16 telnet connections coming from outsiders ip addresses. I immediately called our Director(the only cisco certified guy in the office) and he begin kicking each of the telnet connections one by one. He then replaced every "secret/password" and deleted all unnecessary local accounts. However, we're still wondering how those hackers got into the system. Now this cisco's aaa is default to a radius server. Since then, outsiders have gone away.. Perhaps the hackers got one of the router's local accounts, and trying to brute force their way to enable mode. Now, I have few questions: 1. Is it possible to think that they still haven't cracked the enable password yet or they already know it and just silently been playing with our router?? What for? If you are a hacker, what would you do if you got an access to an ISP's router??:-) 2. What will you do if the same thing happened to you?? 3.How do you secure your cisco routers in your office?? Our director said that we should look for best practices in securing our routers. Our company is an ISP for broadband internet for R&D institutions. We offer no dial up connections, only E1's etc. We have 2 stm1(155Mbps) outgoing pipes. One cisco 7206 and one cisco 7304. We have a radius server running some old version of freebsd(4.6 I guess) but the accounting is not working anymore. Only authentication, and radius uses the accounts listed in /etc/passwd. Now, I am trying to configure a new radius server(to replace the old server configured by the former net/sys admins) only not sure if it is really what we need.. My initial idea of radius is that it ties up authentication, authorization and accounting.. however as I have said, I guess we don't need any accounting since we don't offer dial up services. In authentication, I tried once to make our router work with our kerberos setup so that telnet password doesnt have to be sent but unfortunately, I failed to make it work with our heimdal installation(seems like they are having incompatibility issues with encryption, though I haven't tried it with MIT yet). Authorization: We currently have an ldap directory used only for email services, don't know if it is still needed. We also have remote logging through that radius server also, and guess what, its not working anymore. I compared the config of that compromised router with the other one and found out that the logging lines are gone(hmmm..) I need some tips here. The tools you are currently using. Also some of the best practices you are implementing in your noc.. I'm the new admin and the services are poorly documented.. Now I am trying to start everything from scratch, this time documenting everything I am doing.. Load balancer, proxy server, email, dns, web, ldap, kerberos, etc. Unfortunately I don't have any cisco training yet and I'm glad that my supervisor is kind enough to lend me the enable password (the rest, google and google) Thank's for your time.

Hello,
I am currently running 1 HTTP server on FreeBSD 6.0
Offcourse, like anyone that likes security, i am running IPFW and
set
the kernel to block by default.
Behind that HTTP server i am running 2 Linux boxes.
The problem is that when i enable the firewall and openup ports from

I opened up all these ports but i cant do an ls or write to nfs or
whatever.
Then i thought maybe it's trying something local so i added:
$cmd add 00225 allow ip from 1.2.3.4/24 to any keep-state
Even this does not work.
Tcpdump shows me that when i have ipfw open, it only communicates
with
port 2049 and i don't see anything more.
Can anybody help me out here?

Some people are seeing slow boot/configuration with new style vm_page_alloc_contig/contigmalloc. I am doing some profiling of vm_page_alloc_contig() and have found that larger physical memory configurations makes these problems much worse. I identified 4-5 places that can be changed to decrease the number of page tables that is needed to be checked before an allocating a range. Some of the changes will only occasionally save a few page checks, but others changes could save several hundred or more page checks on every call. The old contigmalloc could be optimized also, but it uses the lower addressed physical pages, which turns out to be used less during the boot process than the upper addressed physical pages. --Mark Tinguely ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Configuring a Printer - Printing Code
Hi everyone. I've been trying to get this going for quite a while, but
got busy. I'm finally back on it now so hopefully someone may have a
suggestion because I'm stumped.
I've got a Lexmark Z52 printer shared through CUPS on the network from a
different machine. I've also got CUPS running on the machine I am trying
to get to print. It sees the shared printer and can use the CUPS
interface to print a test page to the printer shared by the other computer.
The problem comes when printing from this machine. Whenever trying to
print, instead of printing the text of the document or website, it
prints a bunch of code. Here is a short sample:
---
flipXY 0 eq c3x2 c4x2 eq or
{false PickCoords }
{ /shrink c3x2 c4x2 eq
{0} {c1x2 c4x2 sub c3x2 c4x2 sub div abs} ifelse def
/xshrink {c4x2 sub shrink mul c4x2 add} def
[...etc...]
---
The printer is shared via CUPS as: "LEXMARK Z52 - CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.7
on Mark-Kanes-Computer.local."
That machine "Mark-Kanes-Computer.local." is the machine that's sharing
it over the network, which runs Mac OS X Jaguar.
On the machine trying to print, I do have Gimp Print installed, as well
as some other print related ports as I was trying to follow a guide back
when I initially attempted to install it.
a2ps-a4-4.13b_3
ghostscript-gnu-7.07_13
gnu-7.07_13
gimp-print-4.2.7_1
libijs-0.35
xfce4-print-4.2.3
xorg-printserver-6.8.2_2
Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions!

For this, install the nvidia-driver from ports and then read the instructions displayed at the end of the install to know how to load it.

Right now I get no sounds anywhere in KDE. I use an Audigy 2 Platinum and it works great. You can either load a kernel module for the sound driver or compile it into your kernel. Here are the instructions on how to do either: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html The sound driver for your card is the snd_emu10k1 so that first example for loading it as a module and then adding it into loader.conf should work for you. Also, since you're running KDE, you'll need to take a couple steps there. I have not used KDE in a while, but I remember having some problems getting sound to work when I initially started using FreeBSD as a desktop. The problem was I didn't realize that KDE took over the sound with it's "aRtsd". So once you have sound working in FreeBSD and if it still doesn't work while in KDE, then look throughout the KDE options for a KDE mixer and make sure all the levels are up (on the "Input" tab too if they still have that). > How can trace my permission errors when I try to access my CD player in > KDE?

vinum RAID 1, FreeBSD 4-STABLE & two different size drives
Hello :-) I've come across a deal where by I can either buy two identical 20GB drives, or a 20GB drive and a 40GB drive for the same price as the two 20GB's. I was intending to use the drives for a RAID 1 array and have read that ideally the drives should be identical, but it is do-able with different size drives. Obviously as both options are the same price I would like to get more for my money and get the 40GB and 20GB drive, rather than two 20GB's. This should also give me the option of buying only a single 40GB drive later on for cheap if I need to bump the space up a bit, rather than buying two drives. Simple questions really I suppose. Is having two different size drives going to work? Is it going to make configuration trickier in any way? Are there any disadvantages (other than I will be losing out on 20GB on the 40GB drive, and that it's only going to be as fast as the slowest drive I imagine)? I've never ever touched vinum before!
