You could use the 'dig' command:

dig @ip a yahoo.com

Or you could use 'nmap' with a -sV option, limiting it to port 53/udp or
53/tcp, to actually scan for an application response.

 You have installed netperf before?

He is suggesting that you install it from the ports tree, rather than
downloading the source and compiling it.

 No, not unless your network uses it, which is unlikely.

 It's normal for ifconfig to report the ipv6 address as well as the
 ipv4 address.

 Can you describe the problem you're having more accurately?  I'm not
 sure what is wrong, except that you seem to be having a problem
 resolving names.

 Greetings again. Under 5.x, is there a way to quickly reboot FreeBSD if

Paul,

Sounds like you're looking for 'shutdown -r now'

You might check the man page for shutdown to verify that's what you
want. There's also 'fastboot' or 'reboot' which doesn't notify users and
cleanly terminate running processes.

Hi,
Hi.
How do I install bash?  I am using FreeBSD/i3b6 5.2.1
There are several ways to install software. The handbook deals with them 
quite extensively: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

'man pkg_add' might also be of help.
If your script doesn't require bash, you could just use /bin/sh instead.
Also, whats the command to check which version of FreeBSD I am using?
'uname -a' works well for this.

 The foreign addresses all show ircd at the end,  but there is no irc 
clients or servers running and irc ports are blocked at the firewall.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
You might try running 'sockstat' to get more info about these 
connections. It will provide you with user, command and PID info for 
each connected socket.

You could give 'silc' a try. It's in the ports tree:

I've been running apache2 with squirrelmail for a while. The biggest

Re: Free BSD Router/Gateway

2005-01-30 Thread Tim Erlin
Robert Slade wrote:
This leads me to my first question, what modem should I use, is there a
USB or PCI modem that works well with Free BSD? 
Is there a reason you wouldn't just connect the 'modem' to the FreeBSD 
box via ethernet? The DSL comes into the modem, the ethernet goes out to 
the FreeBSD box. You would need a second NIC in the box for this.

If you want to confirm compatible hardware, check out the hardware notes 
associated with the release you're using: 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html

Thinking about the Firwall / Routing issue leads to more questions:
What would the best way of doing this be, bearing in mind that it would
need to be remotely administered, preferably by a web page?
The minimal requirements would be:
1. NAT (network address translation)
The FreeBSD handbook has some good material on configuring NAT and port 
forwarding.

2. Firewall Application (ipfw, ipf, ipfilter)
3. DHCP (dhcpd)
4. DNS (BIND, djbdns)
These apps are either built in or easily available via the ports tree.
If you're going to have multiple IPs coming in the DSL and routed to the 
 hosts behind it, you'll want to look at aliasing the interface to 
accept traffic for all of them ('man ifconfig').

As for the remote administration, if you *really* want web based, webmin 
is popular (http://www.webmin.com/)but then again, so is ssh. If you can 
live with the command line, you won't have to install a webserver at all.

Is there a Howtoo or similar that would help?
Many. Google is your friend.
