Getting FAM up and running from inetd
Hi there! I'm looking for a way to get fam [devel/fam] up and running from inetd. I seem to have followed all the hints in the pkg-message, however it doesnt work: imhotep# ps auxwww|grep inetd root97100 0.0 0.1 1128 836 ??

I can start fam from commandline perfectly, but it only has a limited lifespan then.

First of all: I am assuming that "mx3.megamailservers.com" is not the mailserver of your ISP that you are using to have sendmail send mail through. I am assuming that this is a mailserver that needs to be contacted because there is a subscribed user from that domain in your mailinglists. Reason 1: The remote mailserver could have been busy or offline at the moment that your sendmail tried to forward the mail. No biggie, this happens. Everyone has to reboot every once in a while, every mailserver gets hammered with spam every once in a while. Reason 2: The internet was experiencing trouble connecting your mailserver to mx3.megamailservers.com. To check if this still is occuring, you could launch a telnet to mx3.megamailservers.com on port 25 (the default SMTP port). If everything is OK, the remote mailserver should greet you like this: 220 mail23.megamailservers.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.13.1; Fri, 3 Jun 2005 14:30:53 -0400 If there still is some error, check your firewall, see if your ISP is blocking direct SMTP connections (some do..)

Multiple NATd running on one box
Hi all, Up till now, I've had my home situation with one cable connection to the big bad internet, and a firewall in between it to handle all the filtering and NAT etc, running ipfilter. Now that I'm adding a second uplink to the box (a DSL line) im seeing some problems with ipfilter, namely: 1) It will not properly redirect traffic to the DSL NIC, it always chooses the path the kernel routing table says or throws the packets into the bitbucket 2) When redirecting using ipnat on the new interface, there is an issue in the state-table, causing returning replies to be blocked (or again, sent out the wrong way, which makes the reply come from a different IP the request was fired to .. a hilaric sight :) Therefore I am thinking of swaying back to ipfw/natd on this box, but I have a few questions with regard to that: 1) The ipfw fwd command does exactly what I need in regard to selecting traffic to travel non-default paths, great ! (not actually a question ;) 2) Will running two different natd's on different ports cause any issues ? My thought was to: ipfw add 50 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl0 (cable interface) ipfw add 55 divert 8669 ip from any to any via xl1 (dsl interface) and then the natd's: /sbin/natd -n xl0 -f /etc/natd.cable.conf /sbin/natd -n xl1 -p 8669 /etc/natd.dsl.conf The config files have port redirects and the kinds in them. The firewall will be set to allow specific incoming traffic only, and the rest is allowed by state-checking. Will this give me any unforseen issues ?

What you put between the brackets [], is passed to make ans should be
options that make recognizes.
A small example:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'www/squid' => 'CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-delay-pools
--enable-snmp --enable-ssl --enable-ipf-transparent
--enable-removal-policies',
'mail/imp' => 'WITH_HTML=yes WITH_COURIER-IMAP=yes',

How much performance loss?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi there ! I am trying to get FreeBSD properly running on my Soekris net4801, and for that reason I have compiled a custom kernel that doesnt have support for the hardware that I do not have. When booting, the kernel gives me the following complaint: FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6 #2: Sat Aug 6 11:56:49 CEST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/NET4801 WARNING: debug.mpsafenet forced to 0 as ipsec requires Giant WARNING: MPSAFE network stack disabled, expect reduced performance. So, I expect a little perfomance loss. When, however, I try to use the device as an access-point (WLAN 802.11g/WEP-128 in bridging mode) I cannot seem to get more than 10kbit/s performance over the bridged wlan interface. Is this the kind of performance-loss I am being warned about? I seriously hope not :-) If it is, how can I keep the full wireless speeds, while still using IPsec? Thanks a bunch, Nils. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: GnuPT 2.6.2.1 by EQUIPMENTE.DE Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC/vawMzNX/a06Wq0RAnucAJ9hz+VEBzBb5hKUPu4TEdkmBIgRUQCfddMT VbDz49NvFRwRHi+NWkkD00E= =DETf -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Makefile woes
Hi there !
I'm trying to write a Makefile and it's my first time writing a bit more
complex one .. I seem to be stuck and examples currently are not very
helpful, so I thought I'd try here:
What I am trying to do is differ the way of building depending if a
variable has been defined, my current Makefile looks like this:
build_1:
@cd /build/dir && make OPTION=set
build_2:
@cd /build/dir && make
build:
.if defined(WANT_OPTION)
HAS_OPTION?=1
${MAKE} build_1
.else
HAS_OPTION?=0
${MAKE} build_2 <-- error in this line
.endif
Whenever I run "make build" I get:
"Makefile", line xx: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
The error seems to occur in the indicated line ${MAKE} build_2, but I am
at a complete loss what I am doing wrong.. Help! :)
I am running RELENG_5_4 and the make that comes with it ..
Grts,
Nils
