make package-recursive yields empty packages?
Hi all, I'm creating php/apache packages for my setup. Everytime I create a new package, I do make package-recursive. For some reason, some of my php5-* packages have been getting overwritten with empty packages. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2421 May 17 18:57 php5-ctype-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2443 May 17 18:57 php5-extensions-1.3.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2454 May 17 18:57 php5-filter-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2436 May 17 18:57 php5-hash-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2442 May 17 18:57 php5-iconv-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2471 May 17 02:36 php5-mysql-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2447 May 17 02:40 php5-openssl-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2424 May 17 18:57 php5-pcre-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2432 May 17 18:58 php5-session-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2439 May 17 18:58 php5-simplexml-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2455 May 17 18:58 php5-spl-5.2.9.tbz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2432 May 17 18:58 php5-xml-5.2.9.tbz The more times I do make package-recursive (for instance, on cacti, nagios, etc.), the more and more packages are replaced with empty packages.

Re: MySQL 5.0 on FreeBSD 7
Yes. Linux threads is a port of the linux threading library (devel/linuxthreads). OK... this setup still seems to underperform 64 bit RHEL 5.x for at least our setup. Unless I'm missing something. Our sites are higher traffic - 100-300 threads/connections at any given time. Perhaps that's where the lag lies? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: MySQL 5.0 on FreeBSD 7
You're confusing linux-threads with pthreads. The performance boosts mentioned
are done using the FreeBSD Posix threads ("pthreads") library, in FreeBSD 7.x
they are implemented using libthr(3).
The benchmarks also assume you are using SCHED_ULE, rather then SCHED_4BSD.
Nothing should be configured if you run GENERIC later then 7.0-RELEASE.
Mel,
So, from a standard FreeBSD 7.x install:
- Recompile kernel to use SCHED_ULE
- In the port, use: BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
- In the port, use: WITH_PROC_SCOPE_PTH=yes
- In the port, use: BUILD_STATIC=yes
And that should be it? So the "libpthread" they discuss in the
description for WITH_PROC_SCOPE_PTH is different than the linux pthreads?

MySQL 5.0 on FreeBSD 7
Hi all, About a year ago, I setup MySQL 5.0.45 on a FreeBSD 6.x box (64 bit). I read at the time that the use of pthreads with FreeBSD would significantly improve performance, but as I was running the 64 bit version of FreeBSD, I could not use them. Fast forward to today - a different setup and new opportunity has allowed me to research this combination again. This time, some reading I have done on the use of FreeBSD 7 with MySQL has shown significant performance increases, but none of them really mention in detail how MySQL was setup. I decided to install a 64 bit version of FreeBSD 7.x (to address the 8 GB RAM in the box) and attempt to build with pthreads enabled, as well as a static build and optimized compiler options. Once again, got the error/warning in ports that the linux pthreads only works with the i386 32 bit setup. So I'm wondering if anyone here has successfully seen a MySQL 5.x performance boost with FreeBSD 7 compared to that of FreeBSD 6 on a 64 bit architecture, and if so, what they did to enable that boost.

Verizon VZAccess and FreeBSD
Hi all, I have a blackberry with Tethering support. The only thing keeping me from switching fully over to FreeBSD from Windows is that I use VZAccess Manager with my Blackberry to connect to the net from wherever I am. I'm just wondering if this is supported in FreeBSD at all (and if so, is the high speed EVDO also supported? I know some that have gotten it working as a modem at slower speeds).

Issue with freebsd 6.2 and disk drives
Hi all, My dedicated server company is deploying me a new FreeBSD 6.2 server. The box uses SATA drives, and is an AMD Athlon box. I was getting the following error flooding my dmesg: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=* so they replaced all the hardware in the box. Still, with entirely different hardware, I am getting the same error: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=106848207 The hard drive in the new box is: ad4: 76319MB at ata2-master SATA150 Before I start telling them that this new hardware is also bad, I figured I would see if there are any known problems/bugs with 6.2, or possibly a known compatibility issue with SATA (and maybe if I should ask them to switch to IDE).

Re: Remote Server FSCK

Re: Remote Server FSCK
Well, did it run the fsck? Those messages look pretty routine and should be handled by the regular fsck done on a normal boot. Usually the regular fsck will run and clean up most simple stuff. Try rebooting the machine again and see if it still has the same messages. If so, then see if they will do the single-user fsck for you. But, I am guessing that it actually already cleaned up for you. Rebooted and no more errors so I guess it did fix them. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Remote Server FSCK
Hi all, I have a dedicated box with a hosting company. The power supply failed in the box this morning, and the company replaced it and brought the box back up. In my logs, I have: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a WARNING: / was not properly dismounted WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted WARNING: /tmp was not properly dismounted WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted /usr: mount pending error: blocks 80 files 1 WARNING: /var was not properly dismounted WARNING: /var/tmp was not properly dismounted In my opinion, this calls for an fsck in single user mode. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the box. Is htis something I should have them do? It seems /usr is affected, and the /var/log/messages shows a few other errors as well. What's the best way to go about fixing this. Should I ask them to `fsck -y` from console in single user mode since I can't be there to look at the prompts?

Thinkpad wireless problem
Hi all, My thinkpad wifi card is being a bit odd... When I do this: ifconfig wi0 wepmode on ssid wepkey 0x1231231234 up It shows status as "associated", and a tcpdump shows activity on the network, but I can't ping anywhere nor can I get anywhere (of course I set an IP manually and also do a route add default 192.168.0.1 to add the default gateway). When I disable wep on the router, and do: ifconfig wi0 wepmode off ssid up it works fine. I can run dhclient wi0, etc. all works fine. So something is up with wep on this IBM Thinkpad T23 internal wireless card. Any ideas? Maybe I'm being dumb, but the laptop says the key is a 40 bit wep key while the router says its a 64 bit hex... although I think these are identical because one is decimal and one is hex, correct?

PF default to deny

Two quick questions: 1) SSH, SMUX, CVSPSERVER, and MYSQL were open to the world for about a week. I've checked through the auth.log file, done a chkrootkit, checked lastlogin, etc nothing seems out of the ordinary other than unsuccessful attempts at random usernames, etc. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I can check? 2) Is there a way to set pf to default to deny? That way, if I disable it for testing, it wont kick my existing SSH session out (I'll have keep state set), but it will DENY any new connections.

Drives Dieing
Hi all, I recently bought a 160 gig hard drive at the store after my 40 gig started failing with similar messages to the ones below. The 40 gig eventually actually died after a few days (as in click click, boom, no longer detecting). Now the 160 GB is giving me fsck errors all of a sudden, as seen below. Is my luck just that bad? Is the drive in the store also bad? This just seems like it could be a bad controller or something too, since its happened to two drives in a row.. and one of them was a new drive.

overlapping UID crisis
hi all, we had an overlapping uid crisis at work today.

See what raid arrays are?
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to see the RAID setup of a freebsd machine without rebooting it. I Know I've got 5 drives in the system, and I know that da0 is 36 gig, da1 is 140 gig, and da2 is 18 gig, but I dont know how the five drives play out among those arrays. I'm PRETTY sure (pretty sure!) that da0 is a raid 1 and da1 is a raid 1 and da2 is just a stand alone 18 gig drive, but I'd love to know for sure. dmesg doesn't say much, probably because this is hardware raid so the system itself only sees one drive even if there is more. was wondering if there's a way to go above that restriction.

OT: Removing 14 day old messages, my script...
Hi all,
I've created the following script to remove 14 day old messages.
expunge-check.pl (not shown here, but CALLED from the script below) takes
a single email messages on STDIN and then checks whether the date of that
message is 14 days old or greater. If it is, it skips it. If it is NOT,
it writes it to a file. So at the end of the formmail -s call below,
there is now a Spam.tmp file in $HOME/mail for the user. The script below
then moves that file to their productive Spam folder, and it moves onto
the next user.
I wish there was an easier way to do this. Instead of creating a
NEW file with just the messages we have to keep, I wish that we could just
remove the specific mail message from the actual Spam folder (maybe by
passing the From: or the message itself possibly). That way, we wouldn't
have to do moving, chowning, and a bunch of locking (and I know I'm not
locking with flock below either, which is also a problem).
With 3000 users, the script below takes all day to run, about 2 minutes
per user. Reason being is it has to go through ALL messages, even if they
are 3 days old, because it has to write those to a separate file.
Is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks!

| Also, a script in sh(1), or do you have some other language available? I have a short PHP script that does something similar and could be modded, perhaps.

We have about 10,000 users and our users don't check their spam quarantine often, so our policy is to remove messages after 14 days. I know how to: 1) recursively pull each Spam folder in existance (for x in `ls /home/*/mail/Spam`; do ; done) 2) Use grep and awk to pull each message and its relative data (grep the date, parse it) What I'm not sure of is how to remove a message from the spool itself. Should I just use grep and/or sed to "pull until new From header", then remove those lines from the spool manually? This would be easier if I could use IMAP, because then I could use the built-in PHP functions for imap to check dates and remove messages. Problem is, we don't know the user's passwords (they are hashed). Any other ideas?

Re: procmail kill problems in dmesg?
Do the segfaults only happen when you run procmail? If other programs fail randomly with segfaults, then it's more likely to be a general memory-hardware problem. If it's only procmail that fails it could be just a procmail bug. Procmail is the only one segfaulting with signal 11. POP3 has exiting with signal 6 a few times, but only a few, and its been sporadic. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Remote access to a user's mail spool
Hi all, We're an ISP, and we are currently looking for a way for our tech support guys to access customer's email without having shell access to the server, or knowing the customer's password. We'd like to install a custom webmail client on our private internal LAN webserver that would only show the user's inbox and the ability to delete the messages (couldn't read messages, etc.). The problem is that we would have to know the user's password in order for my PHP script to go out and fetch the mail. Is there a way I can setup and/or patch one of the POP3 clients (of course I would firewall this and do an SSH tunnel with the pop3d running on localhost only on the mail server, so I would keep things secure) so that it could be given any random password and would authenticate? Or is this some kind of patch I would need to write? Maybe a better option would be to write a custom client/server interface via ssh to interact with the mail spool (possibly calling "mail" over ssh remotely, with public/private key authentication and sudo access to mail for the remote account) Any ideas? Thanks, Matt PS: I can admit that I originally posted this to the dovecot mailing list, but am now seeing it might be a system-related issue vs. a pop3 daemon issue. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Syn TCP Retries equivelent?
snip- We figured out that if the primary LDAP server is online but the slapd process is down, the client (in this case NSS/PAM) immediately gets a "connection refused" and fails over to the secondary. On the other hand, if the machine is really down (i.e. powered off) and is in the same network, the underlying TCP will exponentially try five times (on Linux) to access that server before abandoning it. Solution on Linux is to set the kernel parameter (tcp_syn_retries) to some lower value, although this might break something else. We've been running for a few weeks with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries set to 1 and have had no headaches (YMMV). snip Is there an equivelent to this in FreeBSD?

Lock up problems fixed??? not sure...
Hi all, Well, after removing IPF and having a week of stability, we decided to put our mail server to the test. I began flooding it with tons of mail messages using smtp-source at about 2 pm today. The server load jumped up to about 4.50 average. It eventually started denying requests, but after waiting a few minutes, it would accept them again (I was literally flooding it, I sent in all 1.2 million emails). I wrote a scipt to hammer it, so even after it would refuse the connection, it would hammer it again. Eventually, the machine started to not respond. I could ping it with successful replies, but could not SSH into it. The last message on the screen was "Could not write to /var/mail/thissucks", which was the account we were testing. I rebooted the machine, and all is fine. I'm not sure if this is still a sign of instability, or if this is a "Any idiot who would sent 1.2 million emails and a full flood for hours to a mail server should expect something like this to happen" message.

Re: FreeBSD Machines dieing, we've tried so much....
The vast majority of panics are hardware-related. It is rare nowadays for a usermode program to make the system panic. In particular you said the problem happens more under load. That really points even more to a hardware problem - bad CPU cache ram, bad ram, scsi termination, that sort of thing. Ted This is kind of going to be a blanket post to all the recent suggestions to me. I appreciate suggestions :) Ted, sorry, my other posts had dmesg and hardware specs, etc. I just couldn't remember the subject line of that thread. I'll be more descriptive here. We have two different servers crashing. Both are SMP, but on different hardware. We have five freeBSD servers in total, and only two are affected. That is why I do not believe this is a hardware problem. In any case, the machines are in a cold room where the temperature is constantly maintained. 20 other servers in there are perfectly stable, with no probs. This particular machine that crashed last night while running portsdb -uU is a Super Micro machine, with hyperthreading disabled in the bios, dual CPU 3.06 ghz, with 4 gigs memory. We ran mem test on orion (the machine that crashed last night) a week or so ago, and it found 70,000 ECC errors. Those were fixed and that machine has been stable until last night. I've now disabled SMP support, we'll see if that keeps it stable or not. Portsdb -uU ran without problems after I disabled SMP. As far as uranus, the other box (we keep a planet scheme for a certain set of servers), we ran memtest86 and found no errors at all. That box crashed about two days ago but has been stable since. It has not lasted more than a week without doing a kernel trap and freezing. It seems that both these servers have this problem. Out of the five FreeBSD servers we have, these two are the ones with the highest load. Maybe a higher load on the other three servers would cause the same problem. I agree with you that this is a hardware problem, but on more than one server with two different architectures and our highest load makes me re-consider. If this is truly a bug in FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, maybe this is something that has been fixed in -stable? I will compile a debug kernel today and try to provide a trace to the problem. I'll do it on which ever server crashes next. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD Machines dieing, we've tried so much....
Hi all, OK, we're still having the FreeBSD machines die on us. Its two specific machines we've noticed, both FreeBSD 5.4, different hardware, different purposes. Originally, orion, our mail server, started getting kernel traps and dieing. Then, our primary ldap server, a week later, started doing it. Now they both are dieing atleast once every couple days, at random times. Orion has been up solid for five days, and Caliban (our primary ldap server) has been up for about seven, before this evening at 2:00 am when it died again. Here is the output from Caliban: http://paste.atopia.net/126. Orion has a similar message on the console when it hard locks, but the process usually says "procmail". I've never had instability problems with FreeBSD. These machines are both in the same location, but on different power supplies. They are controlled with high-level Air Conditioning. We've got three other FreeBSD 5.4 machines which haven't shown any sign of instability, but they dont receive anywhere near as much traffic as Caliban and Orion ... those servers get hammered constantly. The ONLY similarity between Orion and Caliban software-wise is that they both are involved in LDAP. Caliban acts as a primary LDAP server and Orion has LDAP configured via pam and nss. Please let me know any suggestions you can think of. The hardware is fairly new in both machines, but they are completely different kinds of boxes. Both machines are multiprocessor.

df: root partition at 108% capacity! Can't find why... After searching google freebsd.org I am no nearing to figuring this out, other than this is a "known" problem. Either I or the system managed to get the root partition back to under 100% but only just... I have looked for any large files that might be taking up space but have yet to locate anything over 3meg. Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts gratefully received. My understanding is that you want to know what is taking up the 108%, not why its at 108% Have you tried utilizing du?

Re: procmail keeps dieing on freebsd 5.4 with postfix
OK, here's the funny thing. We did a mail flood test, and our mail server stood up fine, but our LDAP server (which was handling all the queries) ended up crashing with a similar message ... so now I've got two machines running 5.4 with the same behavior. Here's the message. Remember, this is on the LDAP machine, not the Postfix/Procmail machine, but the error we received earlier was similar.

Re: procmail keeps dieing on freebsd 5.4 with postfix
Appreciate the response :) Here's my message the way it should have been originally Seriously though, you need to provide some more detailed information if you want anyone here to be able to help you. Start with explaining why you decided to change MDAs in the first place since I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking you must be nuts to make such a major change on a production system with a potential 3000-user lynch mob waiting in the wings. What were you using for local delivery before this? Was there a problem with it or were you looking for new features, etc.? We are currently moving to a new mail server that is FreeBSD-based. Our old mail server is a chrooted slackware box that hasn't been upgraded in years because no one even had access to it for a while (the management of the company I work for used to stink, its better now).

I've considered using postfix's internal LDA and just calling procmail from inside a .forward file for those users who need it/want it ... this might end up fixing the problems. If you're not around to see the console messages how do you know "procmail is always the error causer"? Perhaps this is conveyed to you by your co-workers but if so, why don't they tell you the complete error message so you can convey it to us? Leaving that aside, however, what about the logs? Certainly /var/log/maillog should provide some clues if the problem is really your MDA (more on this below). Also we'd need to know something about your configuration (i.e. contents of main.cf and master.cf for starters) to help you with a MTA/MDA problem. Its happened twice now. The first time this problem happened was late at night, about 2 days after I made the change to the LDA. The machine would not respond to ping, and nagios was alerting us like crazy that the box was down. The machine was non-responsive to the keyboard, and the console had a "dump" on it, about 15 lines long, with procmail written all over it. I turned procmail off after rebooting the machine, running fsck, restoring postfix to a functioning state, etc. Procmail remained disabled for about three weeks, in which the box ran fine. Yesterday afternoon we switched the LDA back to procmail, and the machine ran fine over night. On my way into work today, I got paged that the box was down from nagios and called. The tech that was here rebooted the machine, but before he did he said, in his own words "There was a bunch of crap on the screen with procmail this and procmail that, and the machine was locked hard.". I've disabled procmail again and it seems to be running stable. As far as logs, nothing the maillog cuts out at 11:14 AM and cuts back in at 11:21 AM, with no "errors" in between. FWIW this doesn't sound like a software issue (except maybe a massive memory leak(??)) but then again, I'm saying this with very little useful information provided by you. Have you done any basic hardware checks (e.g. memtest, case and cpu cooling, power supply integrity, etc.)? Yes, the machine has been checked. We ran memtest on it, etc., with no problems. The machine is about 2 months old; however, so its passed its burn in test but could have issues, but I doubt thats the problem. You've stated that these lock-ups occur every week at the beginning of your post then you say later it's every couple of days. Which is it? Also, please try to precisely define "locking up" and "crashes". It's unclear to me based on your description and the (possibly misleading) subject line what portions of the system are affected. Precision matters IMHO. See above. Its occured twice in a one month span but most of that time procmail was not running. It occurs usually within 24-48 hours of switching procmail back on.

Mail server with 3500 active accounts
We're running a mail server with 3500 active accounts. Are there any kernel variables I should set with sysctl in loader.conf that will make the system more efficient, etc.? Right now I'm just running with the defaults. I found a site online that says if you run hundreds of postfix processes then you need to change things. Our count right now is about 34 when I do ps auxw | grep postfix | wc -l ... but of course that includes other processes like clean, etc. Thanks! -Matt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
procmail keeps dieing on freebsd 5.4 with postfix
Hi all, We had a mail server running with FreeBSD 5.4, about 3,000 accounts, and postfix. Recently, I turned procmail on in postfix (mailbox_command=/usr/procmail) and the machine has been locking up weekly ever since. And when this machines crashes, it crashes hard ... and "procmail" is always on the screen as the error causer when it happens. I know you all want messages, but I never seem to be here and my co workers reboot the box on me to fix it. Both times; however, we've had to run fsck from single user mode and also refresh the postfix queue. Does anyone have any ideas why procmail could be causing my system to completely hard lock every other couple of days? I disabled procmail for now and I know (knock on wood) the machine should be fine like it used to be ... but all these hard locks could eventually drive the freebsd box mad, and I wouldn't want to do a reinstall.

By default, when mountd starts it binds to some arbitrary port, and rpc is used to discover which, making it imposible to firewall. With option '-p' mountd can be forced to bind to a specific port. Port 59 is assigned to "any private file service" (see /etc/services). This limits the number of ports relevant to 59, 111 and 2049. You can't force lockd and statd to bind to specific ports (they are alos RPC services) and AFAIK you can't have disk quotas work correctly because of this. AFAIK NFS4 should address these problems, but the NFS4 server is still experimental. Till then, RPC is a security nightmare.

IPFILTER and NFS
Howdy, Trying to get IPFILTER and NFS working. A google search didn't show much about my specific issue. With ipfilter working, nfs initially works, until someone tries to login. Then it stops working. With my firewall down on the NFS-CLIENT machine, it works fine. Any ideas? It appears to be an issue with random ports Thanks, Matt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I think (from your response) that you are probably telling me what's wrong, incorrectly. Like I said, I know I do that, and I want to admit it so that you do understand me.

Even if the data was a few seconds delayed... -Matt Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Hmm, perhaps this will help: A student one day came to a Zen master and said "Master, I want to build the shortest road to Miyako, how should it be built" "The shortest road to Miyako is the straightest" replied the master.

accidental fdisk -BI
I accidently did an accidental fdisk -BI on /dev/da0, which is where my main freebsd root is. I meant to do it on da1 but my twiddle fingers typed 0 instead of 1. I rebooted the box thinking I'd have to reinstall (luckily my user data is on a different drive), but the box came back up fine ... I was shocked. Can I continue to use it? Did I just not mess anything up some how? Or have I messed something up secretly and even though the box runs fine a reinstall should still occur?

m0n0wall not booting after switch to mdconfig
Hello, As of yesterday I stopped using m0n0image by Michael I and took most of the commands from m0n0image and the hackers guide, along with the FreeBSD handbook, and tried to write a new shell script that worked with mdconfig. The shell script works great. It can successfully "decompress" an image and "recompress" an image without any errors. However, whenever I boot from an image that the shell script creates, it doesn't load. The boot up process stops at the kernel loading and it says it can't find kernel or kernel.old. I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right. Maybe there's one mistake I'm completely missing. Could someone please look at it and let me know? Shell script is attached.

vnconfig vs mdconfig
I have a script that uses vnconfig instead of mdconfig. Are the two interchangable? What are the main differences? Is my vnconfig script useless now with mdconfig or are there only simple changes? The man pages dont seem to help as this stuff confuses the heck out of me.

FreeBSD 4.0 with ipnat/ipfw2 1:1 NAT
Hello all, Was just wondering everyone's opinion on this subject Got a FreeBSD box ... 2.4 ghz Xeon with 1 gig RAM and two gb nic cards. This box's job is to do a 1:1 NAT for about 2000 workstations. In everyone's opinion, is IPNAT and IPFW2 a good solution for this? Also, will that box handle that (I'm pretty sure it will), and if so, any security recommendations? (other than custom kernel, local firewall, and securelevel 2).

Re: [from newbies] RE: IPFW2 + 4.10
Matt, IPFW2 is not compiled into 4.10 by default. At a shell, type "man ipfw", then a single forward slash (to bring up the search tool), then search for STABLE a couple of times directions are in there Here it is anyway USING IPFW2 IN FreeBSD-STABLE ipfw2 is standard in FreeBSD CURRENT, whereas FreeBSD STABLE still uses ipfw1 unless the kernel is compiled with options IPFW2, and /sbin/ipfw and /usr/lib/libalias are recompiled with -DIPFW2 and reinstalled (the same effect can be achieved by adding IPFW2=TRUE to /etc/make.conf before a buildworld).

Re: Redirection with a bridge ?
What are some of the other approaches (if you dont mind). I can't really do a NAT, I'd really like to stay with a bridge and not do any routing.

Re: Redirection with a bridge ?
I know its layer 3 ... my point is that FreeBSD's bridge supports IPFW, and IPFW allows for some IP-related things ...filtering by source IP, destination IP, etc. etc. But in the man page for ipfw, it says that the "forward" command in ipfw is not supported on layer 2 (bridging, etc.). So I was wondering if there was a way to forward specific IP traffic without using NAT or routing (just strictly bridging). Someone on IRC mentioned that its possible, but would require a custom program Thanks, -Matt Lowell Gilbert wrote: Matt Juszczak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Is there a way to do IP redirection without using layer 3?
