New to FreeBSD
Hi JCBotha If you're really new to unix, then set up a second machine to play with, but do not set up a server on it. When you know unix then setup postfix and qpopper. A very good windows package is the argosoft mailer, which can be downloaded at http://www.argosoft.com Before postfix I used that package which is very good. Jack PLease do not use mime in mailing lists! Dear Sir I am new to this operating system and became interested when I started to look at a solution for a network set-up. I do not know if I will be able to master this OS because I grew up with Windows and know nothing about UNIX OS systems. With windows I at least can help myself and find my way around. I need to set up a server that host an Internet (POP3) connection for three different networks that must not be able to communicate with one other. Top security is needed. The reason is this is a Teachers training collage, the one network is for the admin department and another for the staff and lastly the student network. Just by the way, will this modem connection be able to handle about 30 computers on the network. I know that an ISDN connection will be better but presently we do not have anything ells. The server that I would like to set up should be able to record all student activities in the sense to monitor the web pages visited and the printing that has been done plus to forbid certain printings such as web pages. What do you suggest me to do, start from scratch and study a UNIX system or face the Windows server package. Yours truly JC Botha With greetings ...

How to safely unmount a filesystem mounted async?
For performance reasons, I have a filesystem mounted with the async option. The FS isn't used for anything I really value, just assorted object files and other temp data. My question, though, is, how do I safely unmount an active async filesystem? Does the unmount process automatically force a complete flush to disk?

HP ScanJet 2300c with SANE
Hello, I have a HP ScanJet 2300c USB scanner. It's not listed as supported by the SANE hp backend. I see there's work in progress for the 2200c, but no mention anywhere of the 2300c. Just in case I've missed something glaringly obvious: does anyone on the list have a 2300c, and have you got it going under FreeBSD? -- Paul. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Backups
My question is for all the rsync fans. (I have installed and am reading man pages). What would you suggest for a command line in crone to completely mirror one disk to another (both local). Permissions, ownerships, hidden files etc etc etc. Try: rsync -vaHxS and probably -e if you want to use ssh instead of rlogin.

Uninstalling nvidia drivers on freebsd-5.0
I installed the nvidia drivers on freebsd-5.0 by commenting out the appropiate lines in src/nv-freebsd.h, but all it does is make my machine freeze. So I tried to go back to the nv driver, but when I did X gave me this error: Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! I reinstalled Mesa thinging that might fix the problem (since it seems to be a gl thing) but that didn't change anything. So I tried to just take Load dri out of the X config file. When I do that, X crashes on [GLX]: Calling GlxExtensionInit. How can I restore my system back to normal? Or better yet, how can I get the nvidia drivers working on freebsd-5.0? I think I have heard at least one person on here had them working. erik To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

New user problems with FreeBSD 5.0
Hi, I'm fairly new to BSD and have a question on what to do when I have a problem installing the system. I have checked the documentation and searched the website but have not found anything yet. I am running a Sony VAIO PCG-GR114EK and the system hangs when it gets to the cardbus. I've seen that this has already been submitted as a problem report. How do I get the system to boot and thus install from CD without this module? I've tried disable-module but it says it can't find the module I'm trying to disable. I'm used to BeOS where it's possible to disable the computer BIOS when there are problems which is necessary on this machine. Is something similar possible with FreeBSD?

simple ipfw question
Greetings, I am attempting to build a dual-homed firewall using FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE. The PC is presently connected to a corporate LAN with DHCP and DNS servers and a broadband connection to the Internet. The outside interface (rl0) is configured as follows: IP address: a.b.148.62 (dynamically assigned) Subnet: 255.255.248.0 Gateway: a.b.144.254 DNS: a.b.144.1 The inside interface (rl1) is configured as follows: IP address: 192.168.1.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 My private network consists of one workstation which is set up as follows: IP address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.168.1 DNS: a.b.144.1 When I use the open ruleset in /etc/rc.firewall, the workstation on my private network can get through the firewall to the LAN and the Internet. When I switch to the simple ruleset, the firewall stops forwarding packets. From the console, I can ping the outside and inside interfaces, but nothing else. Everything looks normal in dmesg.

Re: routing problem on 4.7 release
twig les wrote: Hey all, I have a 4.7 release box that needs to cvsup its ports. The problem is that this box never sees the outside world normally; it does IDS on an IP-less interface and of course has a backnet interface. So basically I added a temporary IP address to this box, edited my /etc/cvsupfile to use the IP address of the cvs server (to avoid dealing with DNS), added a few lines in IPFW and then used the route command to force packets out the correct interface. The problem is that packets destined for the legal gateway (I'll call it 1.1.1.1) are still going out the backnet interface. So if I ping 1.1.1.1, I can sit and watch access-list denies show up as the backnet interface tries to ping an IP that isn't even reachable. The fact that these pings are getting out tells me that IPFW isn't the problem and that the route table is screwed up. Please chime in if anyone has an answer, all I need to do is add a static route temporarily. My config looks like this below. As you may notice, I even tried adding a route to 1.1.1.1 out the specific interface route -n add 1.1.1.1/26 -interface ti0. mas01# netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default10.20.0.1 UGSc7 56 fxp0 10.20/25 link#1 UC 20 fxp0 10.20.0.1 00:00:0c:07:ac:60 UHLW54 fxp0 1196 10.20.0.14 00:60:ab:03:7d:2f UHLW00 fxp0938 1.1.1.1/32 00:00:00:00:00:00 ULSc0 12ti0 1.1.1.1/26 link#2 UC 00ti0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 604lo0 165.64.255/24 1.1.1.1UGSc00 fxp0 208.185.175.214/32 1.1.1.1UGSc10 fxp0 Ouch ... please configure your mailer so it doesn't wrap netstat -rn output. I feel like I'm decyphering a secret code. I'm a little confused by your explanation. I thought 1.1.1.1 was the IP of the gateway you want to use? My suggestion might be bogus, since I'm not 100% sure I understand, but try this: ifconfig ti0 inet 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 Set the IP address on the gateway to 1.1.1.2 route delete default route add default 1.1.1.2 If you really want 10.20.0.1 to be your default route, add it back in after the cvsup is done: route delete default route add default 10.20.0.1 Note that this might disrupt services not on the local network during the cvsup, so it might not be the solution you really want. But if it works, you'll be one step closer to a real solution.

Subnetting or Bridging to secure different dapartments on our School LAN?
Dear all I'd be very grateful for any insights you could share... Our school network continues to grow. Different departments within the school wish to piggy-back their windows machines on to our broadband internet connection, via our 100Mbps wired LAN within the building. Before I can allow anymore machines on, I need to put a measure of security in place - principally between the school Admin and Curriculum 'networks' and also between the other 3 departments who share the site with us. I was thinking along the lines of subnetting our existing network and applying a firewall between each sub-net. Currently, our setup comprises of two FreeBSD (4.5RELENG) boxes - one acting as a gateway/firewall between our private network (10.x.x.x/8) and the ADSL router, the other as a fileserver/web proxy/redirector and email server to our 40 or so Windows clients. DHCP and DNS is provided by the gateway. The gateway currently runs with two NICs - one to a switch, the other to the ADSL router. All other machines, including the fileserver hang off the switch. The ADSL router has another 3 10Mbps ports available for direct connection. The Admin and Curriculum users need to share the fileserver (for now, at least.) The other new users simply need the broadband connectivity (with or without the web-proxy facility that currently sits on the fileserver.) Questions: Do I consider placing more NICs into the gateway in order to create (along with a few switches) the new sub-nets, placing a firewall (ipfw) between each interface? Is it even possible to run 1 ipfw on the same box? Do I build a couple of cheap boxes (like the P90 I'm using for the current gateway) with FreeBSD and set them up for bridging along with ipfw? Do I buy a few hardware routers with firewall facility and build my sub-nets that way? Do I use ifconfig to alias the one internal NIC in the present gateway to create virtual sub-nets? Is a firewall really what I need to restrict particular traffic (like SMB browsing) across the sub-nets? Or, am I barking up the wrong tree (spanning, or otherwise...)? Thanks in advance.

Questions: Do I consider placing more NICs into the gateway in order to create (along with a few switches) the new sub-nets, placing a firewall (ipfw) between each interface? Definately consider it as one possible method. another way is to use two NICs and the NIC on the internal side will have multiple IP addys. I've done this with success. Is it even possible to run 1 ipfw on the same box? You don't really run more than 1 IPFW, you just add rules that apply to the additional interfaces (the rule list can get long and obnoxious, but I guess that's just life) Do I build a couple of cheap boxes (like the P90 I'm using for the current gateway) with FreeBSD and set them up for bridging along with ipfw? That's another approach that would work. Do I buy a few hardware routers with firewall facility and build my sub-nets that way? That would work too. Do I use ifconfig to alias the one internal NIC in the present gateway to create virtual sub-nets? That would be the method I would suggest, however without more details of your network it's kind of hard to be sure it's the best method. What you could do is: ADSL router | FreeBSD BOX | switch / | \ / | \ /|\ hub1 hub2 hub3 / | \ subnet1 subnet2 subnet3 The switch will keep traffic from subnet1 off subnet2 subnet3 (and vise versa) The freeBSD box has 2 nics, one to the ADSL, the other to the switch. The NIC to the switch has an IP for each subnet and IPFW rules for each IP. If the IPFW rules are identical for each subnet, you'll be able to consolidate them a good bit. Is a firewall really what I need to restrict particular traffic (like SMB browsing) across the sub-nets? Well, the switch will take care of most of that for you. But a firewall will give you more control over what does and does not pass. Or, am I barking up the wrong tree (spanning, or otherwise...)? No, sounds like you're asking the right questions and considering the right options. Which one is really best depends a lot on details that you haven't yet provided. Like, what traffic _exactly_ do you want to prevent from crossing subnets? SMB browse announcements won't cross subnets, for example (they'll get stopped at the switch) but cross-network browsing is still possible by IP address (or if you use WINS). What this means (from a Windows perspective) is that Windows machines on subnet1 won't see Windows machines on subnet2 in their network neighborhood, but they will be able to access them if the user knows the IP address of the machine he wants to connect to. So it depends on whether you want to offer _real_ security or just obscurity. (this is dependent on using the method I diagramed above, other methods offer different levels of security/obscurity) -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

You should change firewall_type to firewall_script. You should then
find all works as you want.
Well, almost... If you do it this way, you need to make sure the script
file is executable and makes sense as a shell script. I use something
like
#!/bin/sh
IPFW=/sbin/ipfw
${IPFW} -f flush
${IPFW} add 100 allow ip from any to any via lo0
... etc.
It works well for me.

Yours truly JC Botha There is a tremendous amount of online documentation for FreeBSD (and many other UNIX derivative systems). The first place to start is usually the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html (it's in other langs than English if you need them). Also, the documentation that comes with each FreeBSD in the form of what are called man pages (manual pages) is very extensive and quite easy to use. For more places on which to get help check out: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html. Of course, there are always support forums like this one (freebsd-question), as well as a couple of news groups. There may very well be a FreeBSD users group near you as well. Per your own words, I suggest you start from scratch and study a UNIX system. You will not regret the decision down the road. You may find the learning curve somewhat steep if you have no familiarity with working at a command line. However, once you hammer out some of the basics and begin to become proficient you will probably start to find MS Windows intolerably imposing and restrictive.

Joch [01/22/2003 08:29]: thats for sure one way, but deleting by date could maybe let some stuff back. a touch on any file egardless the reason of it would cause the date to change too. so a list of files which are to remove would be fine. then there would be the possibility of making a script which deletes the files and the updated system would be clean. i think i will make a diff of the trees 4.7 and 5.0 and then a script of it. but as more people upgrade the question will come up very often i think or it will cause lot of troubles with perl when letting the 4.x stuff on the box. There was actually a bunch of stuff left from 4.7... other than uucp and perl. Looking through it, one could tell that some things were just renamed on the new release. It sure would be nice if an installworld would clean that stuff up. In addition, there were man pages and docs for the old perl located outside the /bin /sbin /usr/bin /user/sbin directories that needed cleaning up... as well as some uucp stuff in /var/spool. Also a couple of periodic jobs relating to uucp. i havnt tried till now. have you included the COMPAT 4 option in the kernel to still be able to run the 4.x binaries? i succussfull build 5.0 on a box running 4.7. till now (except the a.ot - elf update) it always worked in multiuser mode too. sometimes after the first rebbot a second installworld was neccecary but it worked. but i will try today if installword lets me do it and then post the result. i only dont want to travel thousends of km to boxes to do a installworld. Yes, the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 was compiled into my kernel by default. The thing is, the installworld does a kernel test to determine if the running kernel is recent enough. So I don't know how you'd installworld while on the old 4.7 kernel. In my case, the test failure was indicated by a segfault. (not the nicest way, but it certainly got it's point across) -- -=Elden=- http://www.moondog.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
to make or add a package
I'm very impressed with the ports collection. I have found there are two was to install a port, through pkg_add or the make. I was wondering that if a port were a make, if the compiler would do any optimizations on the final executable, therefore giving me a faster/smaller/whatever application. Maybe there would be no significant difference.

[Please wrap lines at a reasonable length] I think the man page for make.conf will tell you what you need to know. man make.conf Additional, many ports have customizations that can be done to include/omit optional parts of the port. This is a port-by-port situation, and each port is different. Usually, looking at the Makefile for the particular port will tell you what you need to know.

You can set CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf, and those optimizations/machine types will be used at build time. Whether that makes a difference to you is up to you. You can also set build options to change the location where the executables live - though that tends to cause some ports to fail - or specify what parts of the package you do/don't want built.

I need to set up a server that host an Internet (POP3) connection for three different networks that must not be able to communicate with one other. Top security is needed. The reason is this is a Teachers training collage, the one network is for the admin department and another for the staff and lastly the student network. Just by the way, will this modem connection be able to handle about 30 computers on the network. I know that an ISDN connection will be better but presently we do not have anything ells. The server that I would like to set up should be able to record all student activities in the sense to monitor the web pages visited and the printing that has been done plus to forbid certain printings such as web pages. What do you suggest me to do, start from scratch and study a UNIX system or face the Windows server package. Yours truly JC Botha There is a tremendous amount of online documentation for FreeBSD (and many other UNIX derivative systems). The first place to start is usually the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html (it's in other langs than English if you need them). Also, the documentation that comes with each FreeBSD in the form of what are called man pages (manual pages) is very extensive and quite easy to use. For more places on which to get help check out: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html. Of course, there are always support forums like this one (freebsd-question), as well as a couple of news groups. There may very well be a FreeBSD users group near you as well. Per your own words, I suggest you start from scratch and study a UNIX system. You will not regret the decision down the road. You may find the learning curve somewhat steep if you have no familiarity with working at a command line. However, once you hammer out some of the basics and begin to become proficient you will probably start to find MS Windows intolerably imposing and restrictive.

I can setup a secure server in a half a day and know my way around the system really well. I won't lie to you, it takes time, but once you learn it you will never understand why you use windows. (If it wasn't for my fiance I would use fBSD all the time, but she isn't ready for the jump yet). You should just jump in, there are tons of docs on the web...man pages are amazing and the handbook is always up to date. One thing I recommend, learn the command prompt before you put a gui on. That is one area that I really focused on, now I use a gui just b/c it looks a little better. Command line is the best way to work. Welcome to the Real.

problems with adding ipfw rules via raw sockets
Hi ppl!
I need to use direct access ti ipfw rules via raw sockets instead of
some scripts using ipfw utility.
I looked into ipfw sources and made a simple program to test if I could
add a simple rule this way.
Just rewrote pieces of original code intomy program w/out any serious
change.
But setsockopt() always return EINVAL and string msg Invalid argument.
And no details. Hence I'm in a fix. Icannot get what's wrong indeed.
Here I place my code (short anough).
Any advice would be appritiated.
Maybe some links to some docs - I failed to find anything but a very
short info in manpages.

The NIC to the switch has an IP for each subnet and IPFW rules for each IP. If the IPFW rules are identical for each subnet, you'll be able to consolidate them a good bit. Thank you very much for your ideas and time, Bill. You mention the use of hub1, 2 etc. Can I assume that some small switches (we use a few netgear 5 and 8 port switches around the building already) would do the job, given that the other departments amount to a handful of workstations each? Which one is really best depends a lot on details that you haven't yet provided. Like, what traffic _exactly_ do you want to prevent from crossing subnets? SMB browse announcements won't cross subnets, for example (they'll get stopped at the switch) but cross-network browsing is still possible by IP address (or if you use WINS). What this means (from a Windows perspective) is that Windows machines on subnet1 won't see Windows machines on subnet2 in their network neighborhood, but they will be able to access them if the user knows the IP address of the machine he wants to connect to. So it depends on whether you want to offer _real_ security or just obscurity. (this is dependent on using the method I diagramed above, other methods offer different levels of security/obscurity) We do use WINS (via Samba-TNG) for our own curriculum/admin network, but the other departments are supposed to contain themselves to their own workgroups. Obscurity would provide sufficient protection for (from?) most, if not all, of our user base - I'm not aware of any potential hackers amoungst the school population, (if I found one, I'll be proud, as I'm the one who teaches the pupils IT!) My concerns over security are three fold: Access to SMB fileshares and printers (especially from some newly introduced Windows XP clients, which seem intent on discovering everything on the network and adding it to their own browse lists...) The ability of a virus outbreak to spread rampantly throughout the whole site. The limiting of adverse network 'noise' from one department affecting the bandwidth for others, (not really a security issue.) I appreciate the vaugeness of the information, I guess I'm not sure what traffic I _should_ be filtering out. Any ideas? Where should I turn next to penetrate the topic of aliasing using ifconfig?

The weird thing is that the first IP is not valid. I'm sure this is
not supposed to be the case, but I don't know how I should fix it. My
/etc/hosts and httpd.conf files were hosed because of it, so I'm going

/var/db/ppp.ip had both IPs shown in the ifconfig output shown above,

You should change firewall_type to firewall_script. You should then

Well, almost... If you do it this way, you need to make sure the script

${IPFW} add 100 allow ip from any to any via lo0

It works well for me.

What you could do is: ADSL router | FreeBSD BOX | switch / | \ / | \ /|\ hub1 hub2 hub3 / | \ subnet1 subnet2 subnet3 The switch will keep traffic from subnet1 off subnet2 subnet3 (and vise versa) The freeBSD box has 2 nics, one to the ADSL, the other to the switch. The NIC to the switch has an IP for each subnet and IPFW rules for each IP. If the IPFW rules are identical for each subnet, you'll be able to consolidate them a good bit. Thank you very much for your ideas and time, Bill. You mention the use of hub1, 2 etc. Can I assume that some small switches (we use a few netgear 5 and 8 port switches around the building already) would do the job, given that the other departments amount to a handful of workstations each? Sure. Using hubs is (dare I say it) the canonical way. But with switch prices as cheap as they are, there really isn't any reason to not use switches. Which one is really best depends a lot on details that you haven't yet provided. Like, what traffic _exactly_ do you want to prevent from crossing subnets? SMB browse announcements won't cross subnets, for example (they'll get stopped at the switch) but cross-network browsing is still possible by IP address (or if you use WINS). What this means (from a Windows perspective) is that Windows machines on subnet1 won't see Windows machines on subnet2 in their network neighborhood, but they will be able to access them if the user knows the IP address of the machine he wants to connect to. So it depends on whether you want to offer _real_ security or just obscurity. (this is dependent on using the method I diagramed above, other methods offer different levels of security/obscurity) We do use WINS (via Samba-TNG) for our own curriculum/admin network, but the other departments are supposed to contain themselves to their own workgroups. The WINS configuration will determine who can see what then. You can set up WINS servers that don't know anything about one another, and they will not cross-propogate browse lists. Or you can coordinate so they all see all computers, it's pretty much up to you. Obscurity would provide sufficient protection for (from?) most, if not all, of our user base - I'm not aware of any potential hackers amoungst the school population, (if I found one, I'll be proud, as I'm the one who teaches the pupils IT!) I like that: Protection from user base I'll start saying that and see if people pick up on it! My concerns over security are three fold: Access to SMB fileshares and printers (especially from some newly introduced Windows XP clients, which seem intent on discovering everything on the network and adding it to their own browse lists...) Sure, they're trying to automagically do everything for you. You should be able to use WINS/DNS to control what they do and don't see. Keep in mind that WinXP is migrating away from WINS to DNS, so you may have to build your own DNS servers and configure them carefully to keep things sane. So far, however, I've still been able to control things with WINS. The ability of a virus outbreak to spread rampantly throughout the whole site. Well, I doubt such a configuration will give you too much power to stop that, but at least they won't be able to arbitrarily connect to shares on another subnet to propogate. The limiting of adverse network 'noise' from one department affecting the bandwidth for others, (not really a security issue.) The switch will handle most of that issue. and if you wire things up all with switches, it will handle it even better. I appreciate the vaugeness of the information, I guess I'm not sure what traffic I _should_ be filtering out. Any ideas? It seems to be different for every network. Broadcast traffic is one of the most annoying, and a good switch won't pass it from one subnet to another (and the better ones are configurable as to whether they pass it or not) Before you trust in that statement, however, verify the behaviour of the specific switch that you're using. If you choose the solution where you put a different NIC in the FreeBSD box for each subnet, you'll definately be blocking broadcast traffic, and you'll have the option to configure IPFW to block anything else you want. The downfall is: depending on how many subnets you have, PC hardware isn't really designed to have a lot of NICs plugged in, performance may suffer. If you want to have everything controlled through FreeBSD, you may want to have more than one firewall box. At least your ADSL router has

Hey all. I've been with Verizon DSL for 3 or 4 months now, and just
when I think I'm getting things right, I start seeing some really
screwy behavior. ifconfig shows the following for the PPP interface
(tun0)
tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1492
inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe74:12a3%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8

inet 68.160.25.67 -- 10.9.76.1 netmask 0xff00
Opened by PID 67
The weird thing is that the first IP is not valid. I'm sure this is
not supposed to be the case, but I don't know how I should fix it.
My

Re: simple ipfw question
Greetings, I am attempting to build a dual-homed firewall using FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE. The PC is presently connected to a corporate LAN with DHCP and DNS servers and a broadband connection to the Internet. The outside interface (rl0) is configured as follows: IP address: a.b.148.62 (dynamically assigned) Subnet: 255.255.248.0 Gateway: a.b.144.254 DNS: a.b.144.1 The inside interface (rl1) is configured as follows: IP address: 192.168.1.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 My private network consists of one workstation which is set up as follows: IP address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.168.1 DNS: a.b.144.1 When I use the open ruleset in /etc/rc.firewall, the workstation on my private network can get through the firewall to the LAN and the Internet. When I switch to the simple ruleset, the firewall stops forwarding packets. From the console, I can ping the outside and inside interfaces, but nothing else. Everything looks normal in dmesg. Additional info upon request! Did you tweak the /etc/rc.firewall script to insert your IP address ranges into it? (look for the simple section of the script and tweak the iif, iip, oif, oip, etc ... values) If that doesn't help, try posting the output of 'ipfw show' to the list.

Building Linux binaries under FreeBSD/Linux layer
I know this is probably going to be an odd question, but is there a way to create true linux shell within FreeBSD, capable of running linux gcc and creating a linux binary? I want to play with Midori Linux, which involves compiling a lot of Linux source, for Linux. Dual booting is out of the question (my FreeBSD box runs the home automation system). I suspect it *could* be done with a carefully configured shell, and a bunch of Linux RPM's installed to support gcc and the assorted libraries. Is this possible, and if so, has pulled a stunt like this? If not, how well does VMware run under FreeBSD, and can you ssh into the virtual machine once it's up?

Mobo has six USB ports but FreeBSD seams to only work with two, help please
Hi, I have an Intel D815EEA2 mobo with six integrated USB ports. FreeBSD seams to only work with two of them, those besides the integrated NIC connector. I have done /dev/MAKEDEV usb2 but when I do /usr/sbin/usbd -f /dev/usb2 I get a usbd: Could not open /dev/usb2, Device not configured I'm guessing that I need to config(8) the kernel for it to work with the rest of the USB ports. In fact the usb(4) page mentions it but does not explains how. I didn't find a hint on how to do this neither in LINT nor in config(8). Any help would be appreciated.

The errors you are getting look similar to ones I've seen where the kernel is trying to use DMA on a drive that doesn't support it, or on a drive that supports DMA that is using an improper 40 conductor cable instead of the correct 80 conductor cable. You can use the atacontrol(8) utilitly to find out more about the capabilities of your devices.

I have another machine with the same hardware, except for video and ethernet cards, that does _not_ have the error messages (and the problem). It also has just one harrdisk, and the problem machine two, on two channels. Can that be it? What does the command `grep ad[0-9] /var/run/dmesg.boot` return. Specifically, look at the end of the line which defines each of your disks and you should see how the device was detected (PIO, UDMA, etc). Regarding the ribbon cable, the 80 conductor cable is really on required for UDMA mode 3 and above, although maybe recommended for all UDMA modes. In any case, as far as I know, FreeBSD should auto-detect the presence, or absence, of an 80 conductor cable and set dma modes accordingly. I'm not sure that dma/udma is causing your issues at all, but it certainly couldn't hurt to turn off dma and see if the problems go away.

Subject: PPP strangeness - hosed my /etc/hosts file
Hey all. I've been with Verizon DSL for 3 or 4 months now, and just
when I think I'm getting things right, I start seeing some really
screwy behavior. ifconfig shows the following for the PPP interface
(tun0)
tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1492
inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe74:12a3%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8
inet 68.160.2.89 -- 10.9.64.1 netmask 0xff00
inet 68.160.25.67 -- 10.9.76.1 netmask 0xff00
Opened by PID 67
The weird thing is that the first IP is not valid. I'm sure this is
not supposed to be the case, but I don't know how I should fix it.
My
/etc/hosts and httpd.conf files were hosed because of it, so I'm
going
to have to figure out how to spot this problem in the scripts, and
at
least warn about it, if not fix it on the fly.
My domain is served via zoneedit.com, and when a lookup is done of
the
domain, it shows the latter IP. Neither IP is pingable, but the
machine is accessible via the IP in the zoneedit servers, and not
the
other.
Is it normal for this to happen? There was a power cut last week,
and
I had to run some manual disk checks before everything came up
again.
Is there an easy way to simply release everything and restart ppp,
regrab the IP, and with any luck, restrict it to a single IP?
Right now, I'm grabbing the old and new IP addresses as follows:
OLD_IPADDRESS=`cat /var/db/ppp.ip`
if [ -n ${OLD_IPADDRESS} ]; then
echo Old IP Address: ${OLD_IPADDRESS}
fi
NEW_IPADDRESS=`/sbin/ifconfig tun0 | grep netmask | awk '{print
$2}'`
if [ -n ${NEW_IPADDRESS} ]; then
echo New IP Address: ${NEW_IPADDRESS}
echo Saving New Address
echo ${NEW_IPADDRESS} /var/db/ppp.ip
fi
if [ ${OLD_IPADDRESS} != ${NEW_IPADDRESS} ]; then
. . .
/var/db/ppp.ip had both IPs shown in the ifconfig output shown
above,
so I'm probably going to have to change that NEW_IPADDRESS= line to
ensure I only get the last IP. But can I be sure the last one is
always the right one?
TIA
Lou

I acutally had a similar problem between two FreeBSD systems. I have a tendency to believe that whether or not a KVM works reliably is more dependent on the PC hardware than the OS. In our case, the workaround was to ensure that the KVM was set to the system that was actively being [re]booted. As long as that's done, we've had no problems. I've used a number of different brands of KVM and have had the best success with the IOGear MiniView SE, in 2-, 4-, and 8-port versions. The only problem I've seen has been that my old FreeBSD 2.2.6 blush system occasionally won't boot properly unless the KVM is set to it, but that seems to occur less than 10% of the time. I've seen a LOT of trouble with some other brands of KVM, though I'm sure there are other good ones out there.

Problems with IPSec
Hi all,
Wasn't sure where I should ask for help with this problem, so I'm starting
here. If there's a more appropriate place, please let me know.
I have a FreeBSD box running -STABLE which has had IPSec working with other
hosts for quite some time without a problem. I've just setup another
FreeBSD box running 5.0-RC1 and am trying to establish a VPN tunnel but am
not getting too far. I'm using racoon and when attempting the negotiation
with debugging enabled, the following message appears:
2003-01-20 12:00:23: ERROR: pfkey.c:207:pfkey_handler(): pfkey ADD failed:
Invalid argument
and the following message is logged via syslog:
Jan 20 12:00:23 atlas kernel: key_mature: invalid AH key length 160 (128-128
allowed)
The relevant section of racoon.conf which is identical on both boxes is:
sainfo anonymous
{
pfs_group 1;
lifetime time 86400 sec;
encryption_algorithm 3des ;
authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1 ;
compression_algorithm deflate ;
}
The box running -STABLE has been working fine with this configuration so I'm
assuming the problem is with the box running 5.0-RC1. Interestingly, I've
also tried using des as the encryption algorithm and hmac_md5 as the
authentication algorithm and I receive the following error message:
racoon: failed to parse configuration file.
If anyone has any suggestions for a fix, or how I go about further
diagnosing this problem, I'd love to hear from you.
Regards,
Scott.

It looks like the AH key length needs to be forced to 128 bits???
From:
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/momentics_nc_docs/neutrino/utilities/r/racoon.conf.html
For algorithms that can take variable-length keys, algorithm names can be followed by
a key length, like blowfish 448.
Have you tried something along the lines of '3des 128' ?
Just a guess.

Well, you're doing better than I am. I can't get past
No running window found.
And that error message is literal, I can no longer get Mozilla to come up
at all :-( That was from a cvsup this morning on a 4.7-RELEASE.
If you just get that message, then you get the prompt back, try running
fc-cache as root (this assumes you compiled Xft support into Mozilla).
If you installed Mozilla somewhere other than X11BASE, you need to
modify the run-mozilla.sh script to point to where your fontconfig
directory is (usually ${X11BASE}/etc/fonts).

Any idea how I can install with gtk2 and java plugin working? I have mozilla-gtk2 (1.2.1) working with JPI 1.3.1 at home. I didn't do anything special, I just built mozilla-gtk2, then build jdk13.
