If you still for some reason need to grant anonymous upload privilege (I can't really see why), then I'd advise looking into a more sophisticated FTP daemon that can implement storage quotas. (ProFTPd is one such application). Alternatively, you could always limit the /incoming directory by creating a sufficiently large file and mounting that with vnconfig.

Re: dual-boot question
Instead of installing w98, install w2k into a FAT32 partition. That way wine will have RW access to the partition and everything should work fine. All you have to do after you re-install is install a boot loader.. either the standard freebsd boot loader, the w2k boot loader, or even one that ive used before called 'smart boot manager'. SBM was quite good. configurable from the loader screen, installs from a dos boot disk. google for smart boot manager. --Shaun chip wiegand wrote: I have a box running fbsd/w2k but am considering replacing w2k with win98.

I hope most of you will be up at around 2:30am Alaska time as this is when I will probably run into my errors and questions. 8^) I have my O'reilly DNS and Bind book and Gregs FreeBSD Handbook plus I can use sample configs from my own dns server and any other doc I can find. If any one else has more suggestions I would appreciate any and all. I have to try and have this setup by Monday morning and will use every reference I can find. Thanks again, signing up to this list has been a godsend to me. I've done this many times for clients' internal email. It's a way to keep internal mail private when combined with a firewall. But you don't need a firewall to have it work. Use a made up TLD (Top Level Domain). It won't interfere with anything in DNS that way. For example, 'hostname.inside' where the TLD is '.inside' or '.intra' for a local intranet. Just make sure that the DNS server has no slaves. You might set it up on the same box as the mail server for simplicity. Include some forwarders in named.conf and it will serve perfectly well for all DNS queries to outside too, with the bonus that you'll get some saving in outside traffic due to its' cache. Set the clients DNS to that server. Create user accounts as [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the server. That's about it. You might want to make the point to your class that using their .inside address as a reply-to will only work when sent to other .inside email addresses. If somebody outside replies, obviously it will bounce. Understanding this is useful for people getting a grasp of how it all works at a conceptual level. Some people want only keystrokes and rules. They get terrified when told more (you see blank glassy-eyed stares), but this isn't difficult stuff. To call the TLD you make up fake isn't quite right. In a network logic sense, it's just as real as any other. The only difference is that only clients pointed at the DNS server that contains it will see it. Out on the larger Internet there is a structure in place that eventually points you to appropriate DNS servers for particular domains. In this case we're simply using our own little structure and private domain as a supplement. This point is political too.

It should work with binary transfer. Tried several times/ways to no avail. Also, I ftp'd these files TO a Windows box FROM my BSD box, so I believe that the default mode for that would be binary? What does ftp say? FTP is set to binary by default, so I'm quite confused. Are there any other reasons this may have happened? Any way to test? I can't think of any other. It's a traditional problem. You can test by comparing the size of the archives on each side. Archives appear to be the same size on both sides. I'm starting to think that the archives got corrupted somehow? The archive starts to unpack (I see a few directories and files) then hits a snag and spews garbage or quits. Here's a question then... suppose I want to re-mount a drive that had the data on it, but the drive was one of two drives mirrored with vinum. I've subsequently changed my drive set-up and now this drive is just sitting there as a 'hot spare', I haven't newfs'd it or anything... so I presume the data is still on it.

Re: Installing ImageMagick -DWITHOUT...
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-01-06 15:35:31 +0100: I want to install ImageMagick without X and Ghostscript and other things I don't need. I do it from ports and issue this command: # make -DWITHOUT_X11 install clean This takes me directly to the Ghostscript driver configuration screen. I don't want Ghostscript since I don't print from this server. 1. Can I specify more without-options, Ie. make -DWITHOUT_X11 -DWITHOUT_GS install clean? yes. 2. What is the without syntax for Ghostscript here? look in the Makefile. it's just text. 3. What is the general FreeBSD exclude without command when installing from ports and where is it placed? I've seen several, Ie. --without-gui, -DWHITOUT and so on. --with-foo / --without-foo is the syntax the underlying ./configure expects, -DFOO / FOO=1 is the syntax make expects. If you want to get most [understanding] from the ports collection, learn basics of make(1). Simple stuff is easy, it's fun going through the guts of /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.*.mk, and knowing some make-fu is a generally useful virtue. -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message.see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
cannot install FreeBSD 4.7
Dear Sir, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.7 onto a device. It's a PIII-1.2 GHz w/1024MB RAM with RAID. RAID controller is a Promise FastTrak100 with two 40GB Maxtor hard disks attached. I can boot the Kernel floppy and MFS root floppy with no problem. After all the conflicts had been resolved, /stand/sysinstall Main Menu was displayed. Then I selected a standard installation. I got a message --- No disks found! I configured one of disks as a logical disk, another unplugged. I'm wondering if FreeBSD 4.7 can be installed in above device. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: FTP incoming directory. Damned Hooligans.
Adam Maas said: Anonymous FTP right? The more sophisticates warez kiddies have taken to scanning networks for anonymous ftp servers, and then loading them up with their warez/pr0n and giving out trhe IP. Had it happen to a few customers (I work Tech Support for Major Evil Backbone Provider). Next time give them logins to the box and always disable anonymous FTP. for my previous company I setup an anonymous ftp server. It was pretty locked down, it worked very well though. I used proftpd, since it had acls which overrode filesystem permissions. the anonymous user had 2 directories, which were invisible unless you knew the name(not hard to guess but still): incoming - anyone can upload, nobody can list files, nobody can download files outgoing - anyone can download, nobody can list files, nobody can upload files there was a special account that the staff used to manage the files on the system. this made it easy for them to upload a file to outgoing with this account and email the url ftp://some.ftp.server/outgoing/filename.zip or whatever, and it would download, but unless you knew the filename you couldn't get anything. This worked out better then providing accounts for each customer. The company had such a system inplace earlier and it was a total mess. Provided the employee made a sufficiently obscure filename(anything but filename.zip!) It was enough to prevent unauthorized downloads of files. and when trying to list files, the server wouldn't return an error like permission denied it would just show nothing. Never had a problem with them warez kids using it :) (that is, they never could ..)

I have Windows xp on the first partition, the unices behind it, (I am no fan of wondows! ) May o also say that i have used the blochs emulator to try to debug the installation and sysinstall comes on screen perfectly but then I get the nessage 'can't recognbise the disk' this is in keeping with when i use ordinary booting, the software just hangs, trying to identify the hard drive. I don't know if any of this will help solve the problem, I have experimented with several parameters, using thre kernal configurator, and wonder if the disk controller I am using is compatable with freebsd.

[Q] ipfw and 'me'
Hiya My ISP uses DHCP to allocate IP numbers, so currently every time the IP changes, I have to manually change my firewall rules. I've just been looking into the 'me' option for ipfw: me matches any IP address configured on an interface in the system. The address list is evaluated at the time the packet is analysed. Since the machine is a gateway, it has two network cards. Will 'me' match *both* IP address or just the first one it comes across? I only really want it to match the IP address of the external interface, not the internal one.

Hello, let me see if i can describe my problem.. i currently am using putty to access my bsd box from windows 2000. Using an editor such as vi, i may edit a file and exit vi. When that happens i would like the terminal to return to its original state. instead it leaves some of the file left of the screen. what i want is for the terminal to return to the same state it was in before entering vi. how can i do this? what is this called?

dhclient - no DHCPOFFERS received.
Hi, Just recently I've found my laptop has been taking a while to obtain a lease. I turned on all logging to the console and found the following (modified a bit): dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on ep0 to 255.255.255.255.0 port 67 dhclient: Trying media media 10base2/BNC 1 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on ep0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 At this point a series of ``Trying media...'' and ``DHCPDISCOVERER'' are repeated (only the interval changed - 6, 12, 14, 18 then 6). dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.. dhclient: Trying recorder lease 192.168.0.10 It looks to me like the DHCP server is not responding. Is this the case? I've verified that the DHCP server is working (another machine has no problems obtaining a lease).

Problem with buffer space
Greetings! My friend and I are running FreeBSD 4.7 and are connected to a DSL line with an Alcatel Speedtouch USB ADSL modem. We are able to successfully establish a connection to our DSL provider and can successfully access all network services. The box in question serves as a gateway for a LAN (using ppp nat) and the internal clients are capable of accessing all network services as well. However, periodically, all network services become heavily lagged and eventually cease functioning entirely. At such times, ping reports the following: sendto: buffer space not available The maximum transmission unit size for our ppp interface is set to 1500. (this may have no relation to the problem) Also, after about 10 minutes the buffer clears and is capable of sending and receiving packets again. After using the network for a given period, the buffer again becomes full and all network services lag heavily and eventually cease functioning entirely. And the process continues in this manner indefinitely, even after rebooting. We compiled a new kernel, raising maxusers to 64, but the problem still persists. I have researched buffer space allocation and cannot find any articles or explanations for beginners. (I have no experience with the concept of buffers and how they work, etc.) In any case, I found two options in the LINT kernel: NMBCLUSTERS and NMBUFS. Are these two related to raising the amount of TCP buffer space? If so, how might I determine what values to use for the above two options? Also, if the above two options are not related, where might I read about buffer space (particularly sockets, tcp, etc) and how might I fix the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

RE: Postfix vs. Sendmail
Well sort of. That only prevents them from recompiling and updating if you do a build/install world. I realize I'm probably requiring more control than is natural, but I don't want sendmail to have ever been installed in the first place. But really, it goes beyond that. The FreeBSD crew, has decided for us the list of apps they consider to be part of the OS. Some contributed, some developed by themselves, some standard unix tools, etc...However, that leaves the rest of us cleaning out these apps that we didn't want in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I love FreeBSD, but this particular aspect of it is driving me up a wall. I'm trying to figure out how to get the most bare install possible, and then from there, add things on that I want. It would seem that this would be easier for them than harder. And a nice little app to control what actually goes into the install. I know, really there is probably little effect on the system to have things on it that are not used. However, to some that's considered a security breach, to me, it also just bothers me. What if I don't want rcp to be installed on my system at all? There are a million and one of these little apps, utilities, etc...I can understand that some are standard. However, they can be categorized, and selected. I'm probably the only person that wants this level of control. So, sorry for wasting everyone's time...

I'm having the same problem with a whole set of archives that I ftp to a remote Windows machine... the ones I stored on my other FreeBSD machine are fine. Did something happen during the transfer? windows ftp defaults to ascii more, not binary, so its adds a \r to each \n - you might save your tar files if you upload ascii to get them stripped out again. Would it be possible to use a script to achieve the same outcome? No, you don't know which \rs have been added. I've tried re-uploading/downlaoding the files in multiple modes, to no avail. It should work with binary transfer. Tried several times/ways to no avail. Hmm. OK, when you've transferred the file, transfer it back to your FreeBSD box under a different name. Then compare the two files with cmp(1). That will tell you whether you're really suffering from data corruption. Also, I ftp'd these files TO a Windows box FROM my BSD box, so I believe that the default mode for that would be binary? What does ftp say? FTP is set to binary by default, so I'm quite confused. Not on Microsoft. Are there any other reasons this may have happened? Any way to test? I can't think of any other. It's a traditional problem. You can test by comparing the size of the archives on each side. Archives appear to be the same size on both sides. Hmm, that's not the \r syndrome, then. I'm starting to think that the archives got corrupted somehow? What does tar t tell you on the FreeBSD side? The archive starts to unpack (I see a few directories and files) then hits a snag and spews garbage or quits. Here's a question then... suppose I want to re-mount a drive that had the data on it, but the drive was one of two drives mirrored with vinum. I've subsequently changed my drive set-up and now this drive is just sitting there as a 'hot spare', I haven't newfs'd it or anything... so I presume the data is still on it. If I were to re-connect the drive, and re-load vinum, could I access the data? How easy/difficult would this be? That depends a lot on the Vinum configuration and whether you're running any other Vinum volumes. It could work. But first I'd like to establish whether your archive is really corrupt. There's a possibility that the tar you're using on the Microsoft side simply doesn't understand the archive. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

I have had a related problem, though some of the details are out of my control, and I am unaware of the exact mechanisms involved. I used a VPS service provider - that is I have a virtual server. As I understand it, this service is based on standard FreeBSD VPS capabilities. Sendmail was the first thing I got rid of after trying it for a few days. I replaced it with qmail+vpopmail. The problem came up when my VPS provider did a system upgrade. This process left everything I had intact except I lost my sendmail soft link which had pointed to the sendmail replacement provided by qmail. The link was replaced by the sendmail binary with the result that I suddently had sendmail running again beside qmail. The only consequence of this that I know of is that local root email (cron stuff) suddenly got forwarded according to the long-forgotten sendmail configuration. The install process my provider uses for system upgrades is out of my control, as is the kernel configuration. However, I am putting in my vote for making sendmail as optional as possible.

Re: Export variables

Thanks If I get right what you're asking... Root's shell is csh by default. Csh does not have an exact equivalent to the sh export command. Instead you must use setenv variable value Note the lack of the = sign. This basically combines the functions of sh's set and export. (Maybe there are some subtle differences if you subsequently set the non-exported variable by the same name? But you probably don't need to worry about this.) -Kurt Bigler To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

RE: Postfix vs. Sendmail
I don't think it is, because you also have to control what source you download. So in conjunction with only keeping what you use in sync, you also only compile and install what you use.
