natd not loading
Natd has stopped loading on startup (Freebsd 4.4). After adding some new apps that load on start up (Squid and Dansguardian), natd fails to start and the ipfw rules aren't loaded. I can start natd manually and load the rules, but this is a bit of a pain. I also have to start Dansguardian manually, since it quits when the default ipfw deny prevents it from connecting to squid. I get the following startup error messages after the kernal (dmesg) messages: Dec 19 01:40:54 sten nfsd:[185]: can't register with udp portmap rpc.statdCannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Permission denie d rpc.statd: unable to register (SM_PROG, SM_VERS, udp) ... Dec 19 01:41:12 sten dansguardian: Error creating connection to test proxy Aside from the dansguardian error, I don't know if they have anything to do with the problem. This happens whether the firewall type is OPEN or SIMPLE in rc.conf. I have to have the firewall because I'm using NAT (obviously). The nat flag is -dynamic and the interface is ppp0. The problem still occurs if I restore rc.conf and rc.firewall back to their settings before the problem occured. The only changes were the switch from OPEN to SIMPLE and the addition of a couple of lines in rc.firewall to allow transparent caching. Once I've manually started and loaded everything, it works fine. If anyone can offer some diagnostic help, I'd be grateful. I'd also like to figure out what's going on with rpc.statd, even if it has nothing to do with my network problem.

OpenOffice.org1.0 and much death
I feel a bit silly not trying to work this out for a day before I ask for help, but I am a bit despirate (Windows98 TCP/IP died completely so I am left with ONLY FreeBSD for awhile... which is no big deal, I just need to get stuff working). Well here is the problem: I downloaded the OpenOffice1.0 for FreeBSD (it might be 1.0.1 but it doesn't seem to think so) and ran the installer... so far so good... it installs with a pretty installer ( a so very windows like) and I go to run ./soffice and I get nothing more than Abort (core dumped). I tried looking for anyone with a similar error online, but no such luck. If I could get some help on this thing (and mind you I am fairly new using FreeBSD for anything more than a NAT box) that would be great. ~Matthew E.

Problems with a C application that changes users and run 'screen -x'
Hello list
I have an application that simply logs in as another user
and runs screen -x. The problem I am having with the
followin code is that the results of execution is a message
from (I am guessing the shell) saying that I dont have access
to the /dev/ttyp? where ? is the current virtual terminal
that I am running on.
Here is my application:
#include stdlib.h
int main(int argc, char* pszArgs[])
{
int result;
result= system(/usr/bin/su ppp -m --login -c
/usr/local/bin/screen -x);
return result;
}
And here is the output:
bash-2.05$ ./a.out
To see the output from when your computer started, run dmesg(8). If it has
been replaced with other messages, look at /var/run/dmesg.boot.

I have had a few cases where simply reinstalling it fixed the problem (if you do that though, be sure to remove the OpenOffice directory and the .svsomethingrc from your home directory before running the reinstall.

Re: Getting Perl scripts to work as mail filters
I finally got it to work by piping to sendmail. Seems to be adequate for what I want to do. Now all I have to do is design my patented, foolproof methodology for distinguishing spam from real mail so that I can encode the rules in the script. There must be a way!

Re: Are these IPF - IPFW protocols equivalent?
# Inside Interface (ipfw) [IPFW] add 200 allow tcp from any to any out xmit via dc0 keep-state [IPFW] add 200 allow icmp from any to any out xmit via dc0 keep-state [IPFW] add deny ip from any to any out xmit via dc0 [IPFW] add 200 allow tcp from any to any in recv via dc0 keep-state [IPFW] add 200 allow icmp from any to any in recv via dc0 keep-state [IPFW] add deny ip from any to any in recv via dc0 # Loopback Interface [IPFW] add allow ip from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 in recv via lo0 [IPFW] add allow ip from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 out xmit via lo0 I've only used ipfw for a little while, but there's a few things I can suggest here. * A good diagnostic for your rules is ipfw list Run this after adding a list of rules, and it shows you how they were translated by ipfw. It also shows the default rule (number 65535) which will be allow any or deny any, depending on your kernel options. * You don't need to supply a number after 'add' - the ipfw command will number them for you. I'm not sure what happens if you give different rules the same number, but it probably isn't useful. * Since you're allowing all out #1 and all in #4, you can combine these rules as add allow tcp from any to any via dc0 keep-state with the same effect. * Likewise with #2 and #5, they can be combined as add allow icmp from any to any via dc0 keep-state * Likewise with #7 and #8. * The keep-state option allows you set up two-way traffic based on a one-way rule. I think it's mainly designed for UDP (where there's no established connection to allow) but it should work for ICMP as well. However, since you're already allowing traffic both ways (in out) it isn't necessary in this case. * If your default rule is deny all, you don't need #3 and #6, because it will be denied anyway. * If you give a hostname to ipfw, it will resolve the address when adding the rule. * So you should be able to do the same thing with add allow tcp from any to any via dc0 add allow icmp from any to any via dc0 add allow ip from localhost to localhost via lo0 As I said, I've only been using ipfw for a little while so wiser heads may contradict some of this Best of luck :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Best way to scale SMTP auth?
Steven, I suggest you Postfix + SMTP AUTH You will find the howto´s in Postfix homepage at http://www.postfix.org Ronan Hi. Got a slight problem. I'd like to do an SMTP system that allows up to 100 users a second to authenticate to the system using the simplest means possible. I'd like to use the Pop before SMTP method over authentication before SMTP. However from my understanding, it doesn't scale very well. So I'm trying to find a way to make this be able to handle as much traffic as possible without overloading the existing system. Thanks.

RE: Installing apache+ssl / frontpage / php
Search the mailing list. It was just last week that I was running a thread on this. I couldn't find a way to get mod_frontpage hacked into my existing setup. I tried several times. Even going so far as to deinstall everything, then rm -r the directories, then reinstalling and only copying over my virtualhost section of the httpd.conf However, by doing a fresh install to 4.7, then compiling (in my case) www/apache13-modssl (as opposed to -ssl), www/mod_php4, www/mod_frontpage, and finally www/frontpage, then running /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/fp_install.sh I got this to work out of box first try. RTR hasn't felt the need to keep the mod_frontpage apache patch up to date it would seem, but some adventurous folk have been kind enough to put one together that doesn't use the old patch method.

Sounds like just what you said you wanted. Hi Jerry, What does without affecting the embedded slice table mean? What si the embedded slice table? And should I make sure that I dont affect it - or should I affect it? It is the table that specifies the drives slices - 1-4, what it thinks is in them and a flag which says which one is active - to booted from. It is what gets printed when you dofdisk -s ad2 or whatever drive. also is there anyway to see that, after replacing the MBR on the new drive with boot0cfg, that it is properly bootable? The above will tell you which slice is bootable, which in this case would only be slice 1 since you are only making one slice. The other possible slice identifiers (2-4) are not being used. But, it can't tell you if it is proper. Only trying to boot it will tell you that. So, do a little smoke testing. Jump. Dive in. If you are doing all this without backing things up, you're courting disaster anyway. jerry - noah By the way, I notice that you have quit CC-ing the questions list.

Problem with my startup script?
Hello wise ones, I am trying to mount a windows share at boot with mount_smbfs. Since I have to use the noauto option in fstab (filesystems in fstab are mounted before the network is initialized), I have created a startup script (smbfsstartup.sh) and placed it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d: case $1 in start) /sbin/mount /myshare ;; stop) #Maybe do something here... ;; *) ;; esac This exact same script worked just fine on another machine. When I moved it to a different machine I get this message when my system boots up: Local Package Initialization : (skipping smbfsstartup.sh, not executable). I have modified my nsmb.conf files appropriately in both /etc and /usr/local/etc. Using mount at the command prompt works just fine. I am not sure why my startup script is not working on this machine, the syntax looks fine to me. As a clue, when I mount from the command line, I get the following message: netsmb_dev: loaded Is this some kernel module that isn't getting loaded at boot time, and causing the script to fail?

Re: Errors
Thanks Shane I think you may be right, I am on a budget and am using the original cd drive forma dell pentium 2, I will try a new drive and if that doesnt fix it then I will try the secondary IDE channel then the ide adapter if that still causes errors then I will just go buy th dual pentium 3 board and cpus and start using scsi. Can you recomend a good setup for me to build a nice server. I built a pretty good firewall using a pentium 120, but I would like an internal server to hold win(x files, and run NFS for my pentium233 that I use a s my burning station and general use console.

Re: Slow network - ed driver, Realtek 8029
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm having a problem with slow transfers to my FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE box using a D-Link 528CT (Realtek 8029 chipset). When I try to upload files to this machine from a windowsXP box, I only get about 30KB/s on the 10BaseT cat 5 network. This identical machine previously was able to receive transfers of 1000KB/s when it was running under windows 98. I'm only getting 3% of the windows receive performance. My best guess is that this is a driver issue. I had possibly similar problem with the same card under win98. The issue was if you set the driver to full duplex when the card hardware was not setup for full duplex (it is capable of full duplex, but you need to tell the hardware in some way), the transfer rate would be ridiculously slow. I'm guessing this is a similar problem, however, ifconfig shows: I also have the same problem with this network card. For some strange reason when something is uploaded to the freebsd machine, the speed is very ridiculous [4~5 KBytes/sec] but when I download from it I have 500KBytes/sec How can somebody change the SIMPLEX on the ifconfig? If I change to half duplex the speed, will it be better for uploads to the box? And by the way I think SIMPLEX is anotehr word for UNICAST I am planning to buy another network card to achieve better performance...

Re: maxusers and random system freezes
Hi, Despite the increased KVA space (2G now) and the perfect patch of the pthreads mechanism made by David, the server's lock-ups persist.

NFS Privileged port?
I'm attempting to mount an NFS share between a commputer and a virtual machine running on another computer on the network (with vmware). The trouble is the vm is running over briged networking with the NAT in vmware. I think this is causing the problem where I am seeing Dec 19 12:14:02 lobo mountd[132]: mount request from from unprivileged port in syslog on the server. I attempted adding nfs_reserved_port_only=NO and nfs_privport=NO to rc.conf and I checked the vfs.nfs.nfs_privport sysctl to make sure it was 0 but I still can't mount the NFS export.

I'm not sure what happens if you give different rules the same number, but it probably isn't useful. * Since you're allowing all out #1 and all in #4, you can combine these rules as add allow tcp from any to any via dc0 keep-state with the same effect. * Likewise with #2 and #5, they can be combined as add allow icmp from any to any via dc0 keep-state * Likewise with #7 and #8. This is very helpful, thanks. I didn't know if the in/out rules had to be specified, even if it were redundant... . As a first-cut, i'm testing everything on one of my internal servers... So far, looks promising. --Famous last words:?) * The keep-state option allows you set up two-way traffic based on a one-way rule. I think it's mainly designed for UDP (where there's no established connection to allow) but it should work for ICMP as well. However, since you're already allowing traffic both ways (in out) it isn't necessary in this case. * If your default rule is deny all, you don't need #3 and #6, because it will be denied anyway. Makes sense. This was what worked with ipf/ipf.rules; I just ported it. * If you give a hostname to ipfw, it will resolve the address when adding the rule. * So you should be able to do the same thing with add allow tcp from any to any via dc0 add allow icmp from any to any via dc0 add allow ip from localhost to localhost via lo0 As I said, I've only been using ipfw for a little while so wiser heads may contradict some of this Best of luck :-) The hostname brings up a question (involving sending mail from outside using hidden/private servers).

Re: Problems with a C application that changes users and run 'screen -x'
On 2002-12-19 02:50, Aaron Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

the results of execution is a message from (I am guessing the shell)

current virtual terminal that I am running on.
Here is my application:
#include stdlib.h

You are using the operator in a very strange manner here. It most
certainly doesn't work the way you might think it does.
You should also avoid using system, if possible.
And here is the output:
bash-2.05$ ./a.out
You're not running the executable as `root'. Since you are not the
superuser, you do not have permissions to operate on the pseudo-tty
that login attempts to work with, and this is why you get the
following error message:
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/ttyp0' - please check.
Three possibilities that you might wish to investigate further are:
1. Write a shell script that does the equivalent of the system() call
you are using now. This should be fairly easy and will work fine
if you execute the script from a root shell.
2. Fix your program by removing the bad use of `'.
3. Avoid using system() which I vaguely recall being described with a
lot of bad words in various places and use fork(), exec(), _exit(),
waitpid() and exit() instead.

Probably intended for the list -Forwarded Message- For the purpose of answering my own question if someone is reading through the old posts the unprivileged port because of NAT was solved by adding the -n option to mountd.

Re: Running X-clients on remote hosts.
On Thu, Dec 19, 2002 at 07:07:49PM +, William Palfreman wrote: How can I allow Xfree86 to listen for network connections again? I certainly used to have no problem doing this, and I don't see anything about this specific and probably very simple problem in the handbook or googling. I'm running an X server on my workstation (Xfree86 4.1) on my workstation (FreeBSD 4.6.2-p3) and I wan to have X-clients connect from other machine, for example xload. So, on logged into the remote host (using bash) I enter export DISPLAY=wks:0 and on my workstation I enter xhost +. Then on the remote host I enter xload and all I get is Error: Can't open display: wks:0 Then, if I go to a virtual terminal on my workstation (i.e. press ctrl-alt-F3) and enter export DISPLAY=wks:0 then xhost + I get 'xhost: unable to open display wks:0'. If I replace the (DNS-valid) hostname with localhost exactly the same thing happens. I've tested this from a friend's Windows 98 box which has Hummingbird Exceed installed on it, and there is no problem running X-clients on it, by sshing in and doing export DISPLAY=ant:0. So I know the problem is with my workstation's X server. So what should I do to make X network aware? It currently only seems to work as export DISPLAY=:0 Seems you're running the X server with the '-nolisten tcp' flag. If you examine the output of 'netstat -na' do you see anything listening at port 6000 ? Lack of anything listening there confirms the diagnosis. How to make X listen on the network depends on how you start the X server. If you use startx(1), then you just need to invoke it as: startx -listen_tcp Otherwise, if you use xdm(1) then you need to edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers and remove the '-nolisten tcp' flags: --- Xservers.orig Thu Dec 19 22:25:16 2002 +++ XserversThu Dec 19 22:25:30 2002 @@ -10,4 +10,4 @@ # look like: # XTerminalName:0 foreign # -:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp +:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X and then hit Ctrl-Alt-Bksp to make xdm(1) restart. However, be warned. Sending X traffic across the network unencrypted is at least as bad securitywise as using plain text protocols like rsh(1) or telnet(1): maybe worse --- it's very easy to forget yourself and type a root password into an xterm(1) session on a remote host. The secure alternative is to use ssh's ability to tunnel X protocol over an encrypted channel. Simply add: Host remote.server.name ForwardX11 yes to either $HOME/.ssh/config (your account only) or /etc/ssh/ssh_config (system wide default), and make sure the remote system hasn't had X11 forwarding turned off in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (default is to allow it). Now, when you log in you should find that you get a $DISPLAY variable automatically set to something like: localhost:10.0 where the sshd is listening on port 6010 pretending to be a local X server, but in reality forwarding everything over an encrypted tunnel to your desktop. (Make sure that your .login / .cshrc or .profile or .bashrc or whatever initialization files your shell uses don't set $DISPLAY for themselves or this won't work.) Fire up xterm or some other X program, and it should display fine, even without enabling your local workstation to listen for X connections on the network.

I have Earthlink and their modems do not have integral PPPoE or NAT but it is possible to connect with Sysinstall and install via FTP. Granted, it is not straightforward since the ethernet device and ppp have to be configured prior to starting the installation.

Here's _part_ of my diff: #if PLANES = 8 xlogin*logoFileName: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/pixmaps/XFree86.xpm #else --- !#if PLANES = 8 !xlogin*logoFileName: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/pixmaps/XFree86.xpm !#else The = likely should be taken out, instead but I just wanted the thing to be working. There are too many colours in the colour pixmap. I'd sent a comment off to xfree86 site, but am not so confident it was acted upon The pixmap doesn't have too many, but there are colors allocated by the server as well - oops! You may want to tell the group/list (comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc), as I don't usally post to public groups. I'm not sure whether or not the = should be removed, but FreeBSD4.5 with XFree4.1 has the same (i.e. with the =) and that works. In any case the colours are screwed up using startx which does not access the xlogin widget (at least I can't believe that it does). I'll also post this to the ng as you suggest. I have new suspicions w.r.t. the basis of the problem but this is so subtle as to be almost unbelievable. I had forgotten a problem I experienced on another FreeBSD4.5 machine running XFree3.??. On that machine while X-windows was running I changed the default lang: entry in login.conf to en_AU.US_ASCII to get a sensible national date time string instead of the crazy American version. Xdm started before the change was already displaying a login screen but now all attempts to login via xdm failed. The login disappeared in the normal way on completion of the mname and password; but a moment later reappeared instead of the windows manager display (ctwm in this case). Removing the lang entry cleared the problem. Now FreeBSD4.7 sets this parameter in login.conf when the time zone is set at installation. So based on somewhat slim evidence I'm of the opinion that X can't manage general national time/date strings. Now I want to find a machine free on which I can re-install FreeBSD4.7 and XFree 4.2 and explore further. Could the time/date string also be an issue with sendmail which was also giving me grief with FreeBSD4.7?

I can mount da0s0c (first part of da0) and da1s0c (first part of da1) but i unable to mount seconds parts. My question is, how i configure to mount da0 and da1 disk correctly without format or resize disk, because my raid disks is full?

Re: FTP installation from the floppies through ADSL modem with PPPoE or PPTP protocol.

Well if the modem does PPPoE itself (and preusmably NAT) then you need no speical support from the OS. From its poitn of view you are just conencted via ethernet. If you need the machine to do PPPoE, ppp supports PPPoE. For this to work, though, you need netgraph, which isn't in GENERIC. You will need to make a custom kernel and build your own set of custom floppies. Happily, kernel configuration is no longer necessary for PPPoE. If the necessary netgraph support is not built into the kernel, it will be dynamically loaded by ppp (See handbook section on PPPoE). Yes, but with floppies, the kernel modules aren't available, are they? Am I missing something? Like you, I don't see any modules on the floppies but they do indeed support PPPoE. I'm not sure how the magic works but I'm assuming that the support is built into the GENERIC kernel. Perhaps one of our kernel gurus could shed a bit more light on this. I have installed both 4.7-R and 5.0-DP1 using the two floppies and PPPoE/FTP. It would be nice if this were a menu option of Sysinstall but very few people have a real need for this method. Typically, those with broadband will download and burn an installation cdrom. My apologies for not being able to answer more definitively.
