Hello freebsd-stable!

  Are there any limits for size/quantity of partitions at freebsd
slice?

   Are there any limits for size/quantity of partitions at freebsd
 slice?

4 slices per disk, 8 partitions per slice (by convention, partition "c" covers 
the whole disk so usually only 7 usable partitions).

AFAIK FreeBSD cannot use the so-called "extended partitions" (i.e. 
slices-within-slices).

If this is too restrictive for your purposes, use vinum to chop up a large 
partition into lots of little ones.

I'm tried create new partition on slice with 5Gb free space and failed.
Partition with 4096Mb was created successfully. Now i have 5
partitions on this slice and can't create new for rest 1+ Gb :(
Slice (as i can remember) is more than 8Gb, HDD is IBM SCSI 18Gb.

  4) As time progresses, cvs up from my local mirror, build and
 install.  BUT, prior to doing that, tag my local copy
 (e.g., "WORKS_7-26-2000").  The idea here is that if someone
 does a hasty commit, and I suffer for it, I can easily get
 back to where I was.

 Except that (IIUC) next time you cvsup-d the repository, your local tag would
 be deleted.

I suppose I could tag -b "WORKS" the first time, cvs update -r "WORKS" to
switch to my new branch, then tag the branch and merge out from my local
repository's "mainline" whenever I resync it.

 There has to be something better. Several users on my node (all
 BSD/Linux users) have been enjoying our own little private network with
 speeds up to 900k both ways.(600k average) Now it's terrible. They now
 limited the internal network to 33k between users. Compared to before
 it's like putting us on dialups.

When you signed on, didn't you agree to pay  per month for a given
service level?  If I understand you correctly, @home has now changed the terms
of the agreement.

We need competition for cable service in a big, big way.  :-(

I don't have the option for DSL where I live (yet), and my cable "ISP" (I
have to put that in quotes, because they couldn't find their bungholes with
both hands and a roadmap) guarantees 1500K down and 500K up for what I'm
paying, BUT they block all the ports below 1024.  :-(

I can hack around that, given a friendly site outside their firewall who's
willing to divert packets for me, but it's still a PITA.

Not in my experience.  Signal 11 is usually the result of attempting to
dereference a NULL pointer.  Signal 10 is usually the result of attempting to
dereference a pointer that contains a garbage address.

At least, that's been my experience.  YMMV.

 Hi Folks;
 I am trying to make installworld and I get error:

 cd /; rm -f /sys; ln -s /usr/src/sys sys
 rm: /sys: Operation not permited

 Error ...

 I did:  chflags -R noschg /sys
 and I still get the error also I am running at kern_securelevel=-1
 to do the make installworld.

Symbolic links do not have 'flags' so there is no reason why rm -f  /sys (as
root) should fail.

Is /sys still is a symbolic link on your system?

As I wrote to Gregory, the "AFAIK" part isn't true.  You
*can* create and use partitions in the "extended partition".  I have two of them
mounted right now.  :-)

I don't know why this didn't work for you.  Right now, My

/usr is 17.7GB, and /export is 16.7GB.  There are 5GB free

on the disk in an unused FAT partition, just in case I need to

install "another" OS.

telnet connection refused from IP outside subnet

2000-08-01 Thread plamendp

Given this example IPs:

My Home PC: 193.68.31.27 /dynamic IP from ISP, dial-up/
My Server: 193.68.22.2

I can telnet /and pop3 server is ok, popper/

Now, with this:

My Home PC: 212.50.35.2 /dynamic IP from another ISP, dial-up/
My Server: 193.68.22.2 

I CAN NOT telnet /pop3 server connection refused  as well/

Why that ? /etc/hosts.allow 's first line is

ALL : ALL : allow

I have root privileges on my server! Actualy, this is my server plugged in the first 
ISP's LAN.

please give some help!

In that case it should log failure using the auth service...Try creating
the file /var/log/auth.log and adding a line into /etc/syslog.conf:


Actualy, I don't have 'login failers'. I just can't connect! "Connection refused", not 
login failer! I do not get login prompt at all! I even do not get any message from 
telnet-client! Just 'connection refused'. Currently I use ssh to log-in. I did what 
you suggest in /etc/syslog.conf. ssh logins are logged now, etc. But nothing else! 



On your server use the host command. Type "host your IP" where your IP
...

'host' is ok in both directions (host name and host ip gives the same name/IP). 
Can I assume resolving is ok ?


If i could force things to be logged somehow :-) I can send my /etc/syslog.conf if it 
will be of help ?

Re: SSH in 4.1 RELEASE for NonUS users

  The only real option (at least for international users) seems to be to do a

Or install from one of the international servers that build
the releases themselves with USA_RESIDENT=NO, including:

   current.jp.freebsd.org
   ftp7.de.freebsd.org

On ftp7.de there's also a "barebone" ISO image of 4.1-R
that has been built the same way.  It contains just the
base system, sources and XFree86, but no optional packages,
so it is much smaller than the ISO on ftp.freebsd.org.
There's also a Live Filesystem / "Fixit" CD ISO image.
