Re: How to convert BIND to TinyDNS?

2006-01-02 Thread Michael Dale



on why I should or should not ask for help.

That is pathetic.


I agree.

I've never used TinyDNS myself, but I'm sure it does its job.

The message about doing axfr to copy over the data sounds like the  
best bet to me.


Although can you not just setup the TinyDNS server to do zone  
transfers like a normal secondary dns server?


MD.

FAT16, 2gb partition if I remember correctly.

I'm building an old msdos machine for a little kid (very nostalgic).
But I seem to rememeber that there was an issue about the space of the
harddrive. Some kind of limit I don't remember. How large can a ms-dos
partition be?

Re: Illegal access attempt - FreeBSD 5.4 Release - please advise

Re: Recommended SATA Controller on 5.4

2005-08-09 Thread Michael Dale
Don't get anything based on the Silicon Image 3112 chipset, I had  
great problems with it.


I ended up with a HighPoint RocketRAID 1520, which is a basic 2 port  
SATA controller. It does software raid and is supported out of the  
box on 5.4. I am very happy with it, although you maybe interested in  
something more powerful.


MD.

Anyone had good results with an off the shelf add on card?

Thanks,

sendmail/DNS problem in FreeBSD 5

2005-07-21 Thread Michael Dale
I recently did a reinstall of FreeBSD on my web server (hard drive died) 
and I decided to upgrade from 4.11 to 5.4.


Anyway everything is working fine except for this odd sendmail issue.

So the info. I have two servers.
10.0.0.1:extranet.dalegroup.net: DNS and Mail (Windows 2003)
10.0.0.3:metro.dalegroup.net: Web Server (FreeBSD 5.4-Release, with 
sendmail)


The web server box points to extranet for DNS.

Now for my domain the internal setup is that the MX record for 
dalegroup.net points to extranet.dalegroup.net. Which is fine.


But whenever I send mail from the web server to say 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it cannot do a lookup.


Jul 20 21:35:23 metro sm-mta[34324]: j6KBZNrb034322: 
to=[EMAIL PROTECTED],

ctladdr=[EMAIL PROTECTED] (1001/0), delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30378,
elay=extranet.dalegroup.net., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server:
extranet.dalegroup.net.: host name lookup failure

but if I do this:

metro# dig dalegroup.net MX

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;dalegroup.net. IN MX

;; ANSWER SECTION:
dalegroup.net. 3600 IN MX 10 extranet.dalegroup.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
extranet.dalegroup.net. 3600 IN A 10.0.0.1

;; Query time: 2 msec
;; SERVER: 10.0.0.1#53(10.0.0.1)
;; WHEN: Wed Jul 20 21:48:55 2005
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 159

It is fine! Sendmail doesn't seem to want to send to the dalegroup.net 
domain, or the domain it is part of.


If I modify the DNS and have my MX record on dalegroup.net to point to 
extranet.dalegroup.ORG (different domain, points to same IP) it works.


Ideas?! Thanks :)

P.S I didn't have this problem on FreeBSD 4.11. Sendmail hasn't be 
touched. Also some other info:


metro# cat resolv.conf
domain dalegroup.net
nameserver 10.0.0.1

metro# cat hosts
::1 localhost.dalegroup.net localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.dalegroup.net localhost
10.0.0.3 metro.dalegroup.net metro
10.0.0.3 metro.dalegroup.net.

Re: Bootstrapping Raid 5 w/GEOM

So, should I
1) Boot up with Disc 1, install minimal config, reboot
2) setup GEOM RAID 5 on all the discs ?
3) edit fstab to point to /dev/[what??]/[what else] instead of 
/ad0s1[abef] ?




When I installed GEOM for a RAID 1 setup I did the following:

Install FreeBSD on ad0
Boot CD and run fixit mode
Setup GEOM and change fstab to gm0
