Re: Partition sizes for small harddisk
Hi, Try this configuration / 128MB swap 32MB /var 32MB /tmp 32MB /usr the rest of the disk... I think tou will be albe to run the X too Hi I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 on an older computer with a 852 MB hard disk. According to the handbook, 250 MB should suffice for text mode only. However, both the User and (retried) Minimal distributions left me with no space in /usr I used the default partitioning (entire disk) and said No to the ports and linux compatibility prompts. Assuming that the defaults are optimized for larger disks, how would I best divide the available space? thanks Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: NFS Port
NFS will not work travessing a firewall doing NAT or RDR. NFS uses the RPC protocol that controls what ports NFS are going to use, so the Fiewall know nothing about this and block the traffic. You could be setting a VPN... Hi all, I am able to connect to my NFS system like so mount 192.168.1.14:/home/NFSave /mnt/coreserver I want to connect from outside my network, like when I'm at school.

Re: freebsd and dns
Hi, ps -auxw| grep named and see if its running. Hi all, I hope someone out there can give me a hand with this important query!! My company has a freebsd server that is used as a secondary DNS server. Our ISP also get our DNS entries from this server (they shadow them on thier servers). Since this morning, no-one has been able to send email to us, connect via vpn or anything else for that matter. External connections from the company are workign fine (i.e. we can send emails - just not recieve them!) Our ISP has said that they have checked and their shadow dns servers have no information in them. They have attempted to pick up this information from my freebsd server but supposedly this has returned no information. I have looked in the /usr/local/etc/namedb directory and can see 2 fioles that contain the dns information: db.company.co.uk.external and db.company.co.uk.internal Is there anything I have to do to get these picked up? My freebsd/unix knowledge is basic unfortunatley. Is it maybe that the dns service is not started? Am I looking in the wrong place for the DNS files?

you can make it running with named -g but then, if you reboot the machine you will have start it again. Take a look in the Handbook and see how to start services at boot time.

Re: want ftp access through my gateway
How about use a Proxy just like you did with HTTP? There must be some kind of shareware doing that... You realy should think about your gateway being a FreeBSD Box... Hi, My gateway machine runs windows xp. Using zoneedit's nameservers am pointing a domain at my ip address and then using apache's reverse proxy pointing requests to an account running on my FBSD 3.8 box. Of course am running apache servers on both the gateway and fbsd boxes. Anyway, this part seems to be working fine. However I would also like to be able to remotely ftp to the website account from the web. IOW zoneedit is pointing to my gateway's ip addr for mysite.com. My gateway box's httpd.conf file has a virtualhost set up for mysite.com with ProxyPass ProxyPassReverse directives sending requests for http://mysite.com to the virtualhost mysite on the fbsd box. The gateway hosts file establishes that mysite is on the fbsd box. Now I'd like to ftp to mysite.com and have my gateway send that request right over to my fbsd box.

Re: any use to build from source?
Hi, When I was using 4.1 release, removing just the hardware that I was not using and building the Kernel gave me mutch better performance. I Dont know about internals so, probabily, this is not true anymore. Anyway, I could mount a DNS Server on a Pentium 75 Mhz with 16MB, because the GENERIC Kernel was using about 4MB and the compiled one 2,5MB. Samba had a much better performance too... That's about the Kernel, when I install any serious application I always compile from source, so I get the last stable release and no one from the Ports collection, beside the fact that normaly I have to turn on/off some options. Hi all, I must say that I was initially interested in the idea of building software from source - but I am kind of loosing it. Certainly, it allows you to compile with the compiler options you want, you are able to optimize the binaries for your CPU, but: does it really matter? Are the speed improvements really visible? Dependencies was another argument: you compile with the correct headers of dependant files, well... is that really so? If you upgraded the dependant binaries, wouldn't you get the same effect? One certain drawback of compiling from source is the compilation time. Large packages like KDE or OpenOffice take ages, so you can't just quickly upgrade a whole system, or a large part of it. I might add that I am more the typical desktop user, not using my machines for real and specific server apps. So, my question is basically: did you, in your experience, find that compiling from source *really* has any serious advantages that make up for the time it takes? -PU ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Redirection with a bridge ?
Hmmm.. I really can't think about some solution... All of them involve a router before, in or after the bridge. How about proxying before the bridge? So in summary, do I basically either have to do routing or a NAT, or find another alternative? There's no way to just bridge the traffic and do what i want?

Re: Shared Partition?
I currently dual boot Windos 98 and FreeBSD 5.2.1. The only thing i do is create first a primary dos and extend partition using a DOS FDISK and FOMAT and so, mount -t msdos /dev/ados1 /mnt/c mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt/d mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s6 /mnt/e and even mount /dev/ad0s7 Some time ago, when a tried to make that using fdisk and newfs_msdos nothing works only ad0s7. Hope that helps. I currently dual boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2.1. I have files that are common to both (MP3's and some documents). Is there a way to create a partition that can be read by both that would eliminate this double copy problem? I thought creating a separate partition woudl work but Windows XP allows only one visible primary partition and I don't know how to mount a logical partition with multiple sub-partitions. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [FreeBSD] pkg_add help
Hi, Packages and ports are diferent. A package is already compiled aplication and you will use pkg_add - To install pkg_delete - To deinstall pkg_info - To view packages that are instaled. so, you will install it using pkg_add packagename.tbz Can someone point me in the right direction. I have a package I downloaded from FreeBSD.org thru Konqueor. It ends with .tbz I could not find this package in the ports collection thru stand/sysinstall My two questions are I need to extract this file Where And then how do I install, make install didn't work.

No good, nor does the graphics menu work any more. I have attempted to switch from KDE to Gnome, to Windowmaker. Again, no good. How are you trying to start X Windows? If you're just expecting it to start, you're going to end up disappointed. To start X you need to either type startx at the command prompt or edit /etc/ttys to start xdm (or kdm or gdm) on the console. here's the handbook page on configuring xdm to start after boot: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html Generally the step in section 5.6.2 is all you need to do, the rest is advanced options that you needn't be concerned with at this point. This info applies to kdm and gdm (KDE Display Manager and Gnome Display Manager, respectively) To get your desired desktop to start you need to put the command to start it in $HOME/.xinitrc(for startx) or $HOME/.xsession(for xdm). To get KDE started (assuming it's installed) just type 'echo startkde .xinitrc' at the prompt. Assuming you're at the text console type 'startx'. KDE should start. I have tried several other things such as the one below: # cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make install clean It then suggests that I 'make reinstall' or 'make deinstall'. I tried reinstall first with it then suggesting that I 'make reinstall' again or 'make deinstall'. # make deinstall # cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make install clean While this seemed to install ok, it was still no help. I'm still stuck with line item commands. When executing afterwards: XFree86 -configure I get: Fatal Server Error xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O Hmm, are you doing this as root? You need to be. Another alternative, if you have the specs for your monitor and video card, is /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config. It'll ask you questions about your setup and generate a config file based on what you tell it.
