Title: Duplicating packets





I am doing some testing on FreeBSD 3.3 platform by sending some UDP packets
thru FreeBSD routers. It's found that FreeBSD duplicates some packet.
That results in that the received packet are more than sent ones. How
can I disable the duplication in FreeBSD config. Or did I do some wrong 
in the FreeBSD config. The FreeBSD 3.3 is running on Pentium III, and NIC is

 Hi Dennis,
 
 Actually, we haven't done it yet. However, all of our major Linux
 dependencies should be in the 3 source files which ship as part of our
 kernel module's tarball.  If those files were ported to BSD, in theory
 everything else "should" work, though I'm sure we'd need a bit of testing
 before that became fully true.
 
 We do plan to start on a FreeBSD port soon, we just haven't had time yet.
 However, if there's someone interested in trying to help do this port,
 we'd be happy to talk to them.  They can email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Doug Rabson is the person responsible for the agp miniport driver
currently in FreeBSD and I believe he is also a programmer working on
the Direct Rendering Infrastructure over at Sourceforge.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dri/

Basically what should require work is probably the detection of your
[Nvidia] cards and its subsequent support in DRI.  I might be a bit off
here, but I am sure one of my more knowledgable committers or fellow BSD
users will correct me if wrong.

 BTW, we did also speak with the FreeBSD guys at linuxworld, I think we
 have a possible way we could check our code into the FreeBSD tree, which
 would be great once we do get it working well.

There's the opportunity of one or more of your people to become a
FreeBSD committer, or you can proxy through a committer, such as Mike
Smith is doing for Adaptec's DPT driver.

 Feel free to post this, btw.  I also really like BSD.

Nice to see some BSD interest from the major companies aside from all
the Linux hype. =)
You cannot believe how happy I am to read things like this.

Ok, now I have a question.  Using STARTTLS with sendmail is obviously OK
for us, since sendmail got the export liscense.  However, AFAIK, qmail and
postfix have obtained no such permission.

So, can we put in the STARTTLS patches for those two MTAs into the ports
tree?  Since the actual encryption duties are handled by OpenSSL in both
cases, I suspect it's in the same boat as OpenSSH, US
export-wise.  However, I've never been clear on what boat OpenSSH is
actually in.

Nope, the press release explicitly (see quote above) talks

Which is not an issue as we don't need RSAREF, not even

You may very well be right but in case you are not, it would

Your networks are broken.  It appears the two interfaces are plugged into

These messages can also occur if one of the interfaces is connected to
a "hostile network", such as via a cable-tv modem.  How hostile

   From the rsa website (the quiz, hey- who can resist a free T-Shirt)
there is the following tidbit...

 With the patent expiration, software developers are now free to develop
 their own implementation of the RSA algorithm from scratch. However,
 RSA BSAFE and RSAREF code is still proprietary and subject to licensing.

   But since there are already other (better?) coded implementations of
RSA's algorithms, if those are used we all should be golden. Correct?

 Note that other information at the site says that RSAREF isn't
 released into the public domain.  Its use is still governed by
 copyright law, so we'll have to use the international version of
 RSAREF if we want to get RSA into -current.

There's no reason why we would want to continue to use RSAREF, except
perhaps for source code compatability with something that was written to
link against it. The OpenSSL implementation is much better, and basically
we just have to build it by default now.

I'm not sure whether it's okay to build a shim for OpenSSL which
translates the RSAREF API into the native one (the reverse of the OpenSSL
- RSAREF code which currently exists), but it would be mildly useful for
those legacy apps.

RE: Promiscuous mode

2000-09-06 Thread Jason Young


It means something set your Ethernet interface "rl0" to promiscuous mode,
which allows it to receive all Ethernet frames on the wire it's attached to
instead of just its own.

Common applications that do this are tcpdump, trafshow and ntop. If you've
used one of these they will by default try and analyze -all- traffic they
can get hold of, instead of just that destined for one of your machines.

It is logged because it is a potential security issue. If you have not used
any tools like the above, you could have a password sniffer or something
like that installed without your knowledge.

 Thank you very much

Unless you're using NAT then your packets are going out onto the
internet as 192.168.x.x and the internet has no clue how to get
these packets back to you.

Solution, install NATd.

Re: FYI: RSA Donated to the public domain

2000-09-06 Thread Julian Stacey

 Somehow I rather doubt they're trying to trick people into using RSA for
 the next week, and then going on a mass lawsuit spree.

No idea about RSA motives, but "Submarice patents" are a well known strategem.
AFAIR owners of compress.c registered it, then published it,  only years later
tried to extract money for it ( Jean Luc Gailly wrote the more efficient
gzip, under GPL,  we all abandoned compress :-)

dc driver issues

2000-09-06 Thread Dennis

With freebsd 4.1, I have 2 "problems" with the dc driver. Im using a 4 port
DLINK card in this test:

1) It always give me a "device timeout" on first startup. It seems to work
ok though. The de driver (oppositely) gives me an "enabled" on the
connected ports on startup.

2). It numbers the ports in the opposite order expected. Bottom to top. Is
there a simple patch to correct this...or is this a system or MB issue? the
MB is an Intel ATX, pretty standard stuff.

any ideas?

Dennis

What's the best PCMCIA Ethernet card?

Preferably 10/100. This old Megahertz CC10BT doesn't seem to be terribly quick.
