ftp user setup question
I just enable ftp on my web server, I have added the user to the ftpchroot file. When I set up the user the users home directory has the default dot files - is there a way to set those to hidden so when the user logs in he doesn't see them? I would prefer to keep all dot file hidden so there is no chance they can get messed with, or worse, deleted by the user.

There are 3 boxes on the dmz - 157.237.165.2 is the IIS box. It gets no ping reply from the BSD box and the firewall. It does get a reply from the win2003 box. It has full internet access. It is a current, working, 'live' web server for authorized users only. 157.237.165.4 is a WIN2003 box and it gets ping responses from the IIS box and the BSD box, no response from the firewall, and no internet access. 157.237.165.5 is the BSD box, gets a ping response from the IIS box only, no response from the win2003 box, or firewall, and no internet access. (157.237.165.1 is the firewall dmz nic itself, the gateway for all 3 boxes) I'm guessing that there is a rule on the firewall that has closed the internet connection for these two additional boxes. The IIS was the first to be set up a year of so ago. There must also be a rule on the firewall that drops all incoming ping requests. Questions from the above: Why does BSD box get reply from the IIS box, yet the IIS box get no reply from the BSD box? Why does the IIS box get reply from the Win2003 box, yet not from the BSD box? All 3 boxes have the same network setup, except for this: There is no 'domain' for the 3 boxes. The IIS box is on its own workgroup DMZ, the win2003 box is its own domain 'test.local'. The BSD box has 'domain simrad.com' as the first line of resolv.conf. What are the implications of this? I will be sending a message to the firewall administrator in Norway (I am in the US) with the info above, maybe he can find something on the firewall to change to make everything work. I hope.

screwy network/dmz problem
here in our office we have a firewall running Firewall-1 (it is administered remotely from another office in another country). It is set up with a dmz so I can host a web server (which is running IIS), but it works. I am now adding another web server, running Apache/FreeBSD. Problem is the FBSD box does not ping anything. The IIS box can ping the FBSD box and get a response from it. I have used the same network settings on the FBSD box that are on the IIS box, changing only the ipaddress. I don't understand why the FBSD box only responds with network not found when trying to ping anything. Now the IIS box is not a member of any network, it is it's own workgroup called DMZ. Is the problem that the FBSD box needs to be a member of the workgroup DMZ? And if so, how do I get it there?

No DHCP for this particular network, only 3 computers - dmz (on the firewall), and two computers.

ssh keys - howto?
Okay, I'm stumped. Just need to get ssh keys working. I have FBSD-5.1 web server with sshd running. I have a workstation running W2K with WinSCP3. I have tried Puttygen to create the keys and copied the key to .ssh directory on FBSD, renamed it authorized_keys but it don't work. I then ran ssh_keygen on the BSD box, but don't know what to do with the two files it created, there are no instructions about that part in the man file.

pkg version discrepency
I used /stand/sysinstall to install phpMyAdmin a couple weeks ago, it's version 2.3.0-rc4. I viewed the list of ports on the freebsd web site and see phpMyAdmin is listed at version 2.3.2. So I re-ran sysinstall and see phpMyAdmin is still listed at 2.3.0-rc4. The phpMyAdmin current version is 2.4.0-rc1 at their homepage. I don't have ports installed, When I click on the download link on freebsd.org for version 2.3.2 I get an error pop-up that says - 550 No such directory.

I just setup my new Epson C62 printer, works great on my freebsd box. I am using samba to share it with the rest of the family pc's.

Okay, I've checked the previous messages on the subject in the archives, still doesn't work. The handbook apparently has no info on setting up flat-bed scanners.

Re: dual-boot question
So, I reinstalled w2k, first trying the repair option, which doesn't provide the option to change the file system format from ntfs to fat, then did a complete reinstall, formatting in fat32. Guess what? It did not overwrite the boot sector, the original freebsd boot menu is still there and still works. In fact, previously, it showed two questions marks for the f1 option (w2k), now it shows dos for the f1 option. I certainly wasn't expecting that. Anyway, just thought I'd share that bit, it was something of a surprise to me, I expected it to overwrite the boot sector like all previos versions of winblows.

dual-boot question
I have a box running fbsd/w2k but am considering replacing w2k with win98. There are problems with wine not being able to run apps on w2k partition properly, or at all. I realize if I install win98 it will wipe out my boot partition, thus making it so I can't boot into fbsd, which I use 99% of the time.

Is this possible? -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
vmware vmnet doesn't exist after installing vmware port
I installed vmware2 and win2000 and it works fine in no network mode. When I try to set up bridge networking I get an error that /dev/vmnet0 does not exist. When I look at ifconfig -a I see device vnmet1 is configured, though it has a wrong network- 192.168.0.x, mine is 192.168.1.x. I checked the vmware knowldedge base, that was quite useless. Searched google, still no good. Is there something I need to add to the kernel config? Any ideas? -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

xfree question not answered on the xfree lists, maybe here?
I put this on chat becuase it's a bit off topic, and it has yet to be answered on the xfree lists. I just installed fbsd 4.7 on a new box, at the prompt to configure the x server said no, and finished the install. I then ran XFree86 -configure and copied the XFree86Config to /etc/X11/. When I start X it starts okay except it will only run in 4 bit mode. Even when I try to force it to 16 bit at the startx prompt, it will default to 4. I tried to comment out the 4bit subsection the XFree will only complain that it's not there and fail to load. I know the video card and monitor will do 16 bit and 1024x768, it was on the previous install, and the box dual-boots win2000, which is using that config. I noticed there are no lines for modes in the screens subsections, so I added one to the 16bit subsection, it only breaks X again. I've included the XFree86Config at the bottom of this message. Hopefully someone will be able to help me here. :) Regards, Chip W -- XFree86Config -- Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "pex5" Load "record" Load "xie" Load "xtrap" Load "speedo" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName"Monitor Model" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [] #Option "VGAClocks" # [] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vga" VendorName "SiS" BoardName "630" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
what's up with /var/empty?
I just finished installing 4.7 and want to move /var to /usr/var and symlink it, but there is an empty subdirectory called empty (/var/empty). It is not going away when I try to delete the /var directory after moving it to /usr/var. It has permissions like this: dr-xr-xr-x root wheel Seems like I had to do something about a sticky bit, but don't recall and can't find anything in the list archives about this.

That always works for me. In fact, I have a hard drive on it's last legs, the other day it apparently crashed, I hard-reset the computer, ran fsck -y on that disk and finally after running this about 8 times it finally was marked clean. -- Chip > 5499 files, 23301161 used, 4289037 free (1517 frags, 535940 blocks, 0.0% > fragmentation) > -- > What am i gonna do now? =( > BTW: i can mount and access the fs, but fear not everything survived.

can't find certain doc
I thought I saw a doc called something like 'what to do if your hard drive gets full'. I checked the docs the freebsd.org and couldn't find anything like that. Is there a doc out there some place that tells me what to do when the root partition fills up, for no apparent reason? This machine is strictly a web backup box and rarely is used for anything else, yet the root partition is at 104%.

It did exist, has two lines, but no error lines, so then I set the permissions to 755, it still didn't get written to, then I changed it to 777, still not getting written to. > You may also try to log events via syslog using > "log_facility" directive.

natd not allowing incoming ftp connections, but web is okay
I have a server set up to run both web server and ftp server. The web server is working great, internet connect to it just fine. The ftpd server is running, it works great on the intranet, but from the internet connections are not allowed - according to wsftp the message is connection refused I have a dsl connection, and use an old 28.8 modem occasionally to test this stuff. When I try to connect, as anonymous, to the outside ip address that's when I get the refused error, when I connect to the inside ip address I connect fine. My natd.conf looks like this - use sockets yes port 8668 alias address xx.xx.xx.xxx log unregistered only redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.14:20-21 20-21 redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.14:80 80 I don't understand why the port 80 line works and the port 20-21 line does not. Even though it says log, there is no log file being written to, all log items show on the local display, I don't know why. Any ideas what to check? -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
4.7 installed but mouse refused to work in X
I just got 4.7 installed and running, got XFCE installed but I cannot get my doggone serial mouse to work in X. I have tried a couple differant mice, same results. If I enable the moused daemon the pointer will jiggle around a bit in X in the upper left corner, but not actually be useable. I have tried just about every configuration possibility in XF86Config (from sysinstall) but it just refuses to work. I tried both a Logitech 3 button serial and a Mitsumi two button serial.

A problem with printing from NT to FBSD
I have a fbsd-4.5 box acting as a print server for some NT servers and one
NT workstation. I am having
problems printing. I was able to print one page after a reboot, then the
subsequent pages all failed. On the
NT boxes in the printer window when a job fails it shows
Printing - printer busy or error
I check the queue on the fbsd box with lpc stat all and it is empty, and
the printer and queue are enabled
and ready.
I got this message on the console after trying a print job of just one
page -
lpd[688]: lp: readfile: error on open(tfA101cwiegand.simdom): file exists
The tail of lpd-errs looks like this -

Here's my printcap -

:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
Here's the if-simple file -
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
exit 2
I hope someone can help with this (I'd hate to have to move the printer to
the
NT workstation).

is it possible to move print jobs?
I have a printer connected to my fbsd box, and another connected to a winblows box. the fbsd printer has crapped out on me and has 9 print jobs waiting in the queue. is it possible to move those jobs from printer queue lp to printer queue eps?

printing question
I have a HP952C printer connected via parallel cable to my FreeBSD box, and it works great. I also have 6 NT servers which print to that printer. They all print to it fine, up to around 7 pages or so, then the print jobs just go off to nowhere-land. I am trying to print a 17 page .xls document but can only get it to print by splitting it into two print jobs. Any ideas why this is? I can send printcap if necessary. -- Chip Wiegand Computer Services Simrad, Inc www.simradusa.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." --Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977 (They why do I have 9?
