PPP-FILTER
Dear Sirs: I have FreeBSD-3.0 with modem's pool where I must enable constraint as following user apppuser may have access to IP set x1.x2.x3.0/27 only. I found in pppd (which I am using) feature pass-filter and wrote to user's .ppprc : pass-filter 'net x1.x2.x3.0/27' but its constraint doesn't work (user can go to any IP) Then I tried following line in his home file .ppprc : pass-filter 'net x1.x2.x3 mask 255.255.255.224' It doesn't work also.

Jail question
Hey, I'm a freebsd newbie. I was experimenting with jails. I've build an entire jail under /usr/local/jail/test which I'm accessing through the network using ssh.

patching a file
I have a patch that should fix a build problem with one of freebsd's ports, pybliographer.

My ports tree is up to date, but I dont't see the source in /usr/ports/converters/recode that the patch should be applied to. Also, running file on /usr/ports/distfiles/recode-3.6.tar.gz returns file is empty. I thought that I could unpack the tarball manually apply the patch, then tar it back up and build the port.

The system is 4.5-STABLE with much RAM (4 Gb) and the box has a heavy enough traffic so a bunch of other kernel options have been increased: options SHMMAXPGS=262144#max amount of shared mem. pages options SHMMNI=256 #max number of shared memory ident if. options SHMSEG=256 #max shared mem.segs per process options MSGSEG=32767#max num. of mes.segments in system options MSGSSZ=32 #size of msg-seg. MUST be power of 2 options MSGMNB=65535#max char. per message queue options MSGTQL=2046 #max amount of msgs in system options SEMMNU=256 #number of semaphore UNDO structures options SEMMNS=1024 #number of semaphores in system options SEMMNI=520 #number of semaphore indentifiers options SEMUME=100 #number of UNDO keys options SEMMSL=256 # max number of semaphores per id options SEMOPM=256 # max number of operations per semop call Or what else can be causing such system crashes? Any help is greatly appreciated!

chroot from -STABLE into -CURRENT
When I try to chroot into a -CURRENT world on a system running -STABLE, I get Bad system call errors. I'm guessing that this is a kernel/world sync problem, since I am (naturally) running a -STABLE kernel. Is there any way to get around this problem? It arises inevitably if one attempts to `make release` on -CURRENT from a -STABLE system. Colin Percival PS.

Rumour has it that this shifting ethernet address is due to some funkyness in the setup of the Cisco hardware that Blueyonder's network runs on, but there's never been any decisive answer from anyone in Blueyonder.

Re: sendmail
Sendmail's configuration file is horrendous to humans because it is not intended to be messed around with by humans - only the beginning of sendmail.cf should be touched (i.e. modifying path to sendmail.cw). REASON: You use a .mc file and m4 to build a respective sendmail.cf config file. In the .mc file you declare the features you want to use - within the .mc file you do your personal configs. The .mc file is very readable and is easy to work with. -John Von Essen On Wednesday, December 4, 2002, at 12:35 PM, Yann Golanski wrote: Quoth Peter Jamrisko on Wed, Dec 04, 2002 at 18:08:28 +0100 OK Boys, But I assume it must working with sendmail and then can I install another MTA.

FreeBSD, HylaFAX, and a Zoom USB modem...
Hi! Does anyone have any experience setting up HylaFAX to work with a Zoom 2986L USB modem in FreeBSD? I'm running STABLE (as of last night), with device umodem (and ucom, although that doesn't seem to do anything) enabled in the kernel. I can properly see the modem -- cu will connect to /dev/umodem0 and dial out, although I don't have any modems to try connecting to. HylaFAX seems to be correctly installed -- I think. Hfaxd, faxq, and faxgetty are all running, and faxgetty was trying to do stuff with the modem (I'm only interested in receiving faxes), but the logs that it created kept on talking about training failed. Does anyone have any ideas? Another question is -- in the setup, it talked about using the cuaa devices over the ttydx devices -- does this affect me, given that I'm using umodem0? I tried to get ucom to attach itself, but I'm a bit out-of-my-league -- /dev/MAKEDEV ucom0 creates the device, but it doesn't seem to do anything for actually making a device that is attached to umodem0 -- and I don't know how to tell it to.

need help mounting ext3 partitions from new freebsd 4.7 install
I recently put an old hard drive in my system to install freebsd 4.7 onto, never having installed a bsd before my previous setup was this - /dev/hda 80 gig maxtor on primary on-board ide controller /dev/hde 120 gig maxtor on promise tx1332 controller card (dont know why it got stuck with hde) redhat 8 boots from /dev/hda. I added an 8 gig drive to the promise controller. linux saw it as /dev/hdf/ I unplugged the power to the 80 and 120 gig drives, which are ext3, and only left the 8 gig (didnt want to accidentaly hose my linux install with fbsd) I installed bsd onto the 8 gig successfully. now freebsd is identifying this 8 gig drive which is all freebsd as: /dev/ad5s1 (partitions are /dev/ad5s1a, f, g, and e - which fbsd auto-partitioned) I plugged my linux drives back in and booted into freebsd (I added freebsd's info into grub.conf since the system boots to the bootloader on the 80 gig redhat 8 drive) it boots into freebsd, still on /ad5s1. I want to mount my ext3 partitions but I dont know what their device address is fdisk defaults to /dev/ad0 which appears to be the 80 gig attatched to the mobo ide controller, I will try to see if i can mount that, but I cant find the 120 gig on the promise card, I would think it would be at /dev/ad5s0 since it is the 1st drive on the promise card and bsd sees the 2nd drive on the promise card (8 gig freebsd install) as /dev/ad5s1, but fdisk /dev/ad5s0 gives No such file or directory. fdisk /dev/ad5s2 gives something - *** Working on device /dev/ad5s2 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: /boot/mbr: length must be a multiple of sector size so it cant seem to read the ext3 partitions on the 120 gig, but it can see the partitions on the 80 gig /dev/ad0 ok: *** Working on device /dev/ad0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=9964 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=9964 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 63, size 5124672 (2502 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 318/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 5124735, size 1012095 (494 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 319/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 381/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86) start 6136830, size 1012095 (494 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 382/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 444/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: sysid 15,(Extended DOS, LBA) start 7148925, size 152922735 (74669 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 445/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

What I have at my disposal is a CD-RW drive (ATAPI, but that really doesn't matter so much with ATAPI-CAM in the tree), one disk (ad0) with only FreeBSD on it, and no other machines to do network backup to. Ideally, I want something that can automatically span multiple CD-RW's when writing and can be restored using only the tools on the CD-2 live fs. Just boot from CD-2, swap CD's, restore to a totally blank disk, reboot, and it's all as good as new. Dump/restore and tar (both using cdrecord to write) are the only things I can think of, but neither of these seems ideal to me. http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ Ghost for Unix might be the solution for you.

Re: best way to back up entire disk?
Quoting Alex [EMAIL PROTECTED] and others: May I put in a word for HD caddies? HDs are pretty cheap nowadays and purchasing two for your system instead of one is a perfectly reasonable option. OK, so now you can backup your in-the-case system and data complete onto your removable HD, and put it somewhere safe. (Take it home with you if you like) Updating the backup is also VERY simple this way. A big advantage is that if your working in-the-case HD falls over, your backup which is little used, is there to install and work immediately. YMMV of course :-) Regards, Brian --- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Enabling root ftp access
Silly question. Using ProFTPD, how do I enable access by root via FTP? I need it only for short periods to be able to move and upload/update certain files.

Ok, this is kind of a two part question. So here goes. 1st, I need to build a mail server that does both pop and smtp. 2nd, I need that server to be able to do pop before smtp authentication for relaying. Anyone got a good tutorial on how to do that and how to setup the server to authenticate smtp users via pop before smtp? What mail server software would I need to pull this off? Thanks for the info!

Ports should *not* overwrite the base system.
To find out how a port installed itself, use the pkg_info(1) command.
In this case, I think you'll find ${PREFIX}/libexec/proftpd
is what you're looking for, assuming you haven't redefined your ports
prefix.

Anyone seen a fire server?
Hi all. Got a really interesting question. Someone mentioned this to me and I have yet to find evidence of it so far. Apparently some company out there makes a network file server of sorts that's not your typical network file server. What it is, is the box itself is a multi-port network hub of sorts. Basically each network branch could plug into it (up to 25 branches) and each would have individual access to the files on the box. Now here's the trick. The drives are stored externally and access via firewire. Yup, you heard me right. Externally, and via fire wire. Apparently from what I picked up, the drives themselves are 250gig high speed SCSI drives enclosed in a typical external drive housing that sits on top of the box and connects via firewire. The advantage being that you can both hot swap the drives, and you can take them over to your neighborhood workstation or any server on the lan, plug them in, do what you need, unplug them and take them back over to this network drive hub and plug them back in all without rebooting. I like the idea and I'm trying to find who has one so I can check it out. Anyone seen anything like this yet?
