I'm just working up a patch to telnetd to make it work the way the manual says. Just testing now before I submit it. Oh no, I didn't submit a patch! I just pointed to issue out, suggesting that someone may like to remove the incorrect text from the telnetd(8) manpage, or possibly update the telnetd sources to match the manpage. By all means, please do submit a patch! I do a good bit of work with PHP, but I've never programmed with C, so I didn't even think about trying to patch. Thanks for all of your help on this issue. This was the first PR that I have ever submitted, maybe I shouldn't have submitted the PR at all if I didn't have the capability to fix the problem. Is there any way that you can send in a patch relating to the PR that I already submitted. Hmmm... Having spent some time looking at this over the weekend, I've come to the conclusion that adding support for having telnetd display the /etc/issue file before prompting for a login is impractical when combined with the SRA encryption used in FreeBSDs standard telnet setup. It's certainly beyond my extremely rusty C programming skills. Furthermore, the display of the IM gettytab property is somewhat dubious as well: Consider this entry in the standard /etc/gettytab: default:\ :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:\ ^^ :if=/etc/issue: which means you should see a banner like: FreeBSD/i386 (hostname.example.com) (ttyp0) when you attempt to log in either via telnet or on the console. However, it's conspicuously absent *before* the login prompt in a FreeBSD to FreeBSD telnet sesssion: % telnet localhost Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Trying SRA secure login: User (matthew): Password: [ SRA accepts you ] FreeBSD/i386 (happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophi) (ttyp4) Those 'User' and 'Password' prompts originate from the client machine, and occur as a necessary pre-requisite before the encrypted channel between the client and server can be set up. So you've got to log in before you can see any pre-login messages. I'm not sure what would appear given an older telnet client that doesn't support encryption, not having any older telnet clients around to test with.

How to avoid NAT for VPN addresses
Can someone explain me how to avoid NAT for specific IP ranges? I have configured IPSec (racoon and setkey) VPN works with gateway (FreeBSD 4.6), but windows workstations are not able to use VPN connections. I guess there are collisions with NAT and IPSec, but I need NAT for accessing internet via my ISP.

Re: How to avoid NAT for VPN addresses
Because (I assume) you have only one IP address, anything behind your gateway has to get NATed for it to be able to connect to the internet. A VPN connection (generally) has to run two ways, so doing it behind NAT will be problematic. The best thing to do is either to apply for a routable IP address range (a /28 range will do for most networks) and route real IP via your gateway (make sure to firewall properly) If that's not possible, get them to assign extra IPs to you, of the same number as the amount of boxes you have doing VPN, then set up the addresses as aliases on your gateway and do static NAT. If your VPN solution has the ability to set the port it communicates on, you could also use portforwarding from the gateway to the machines, but that is problematic at the best of times. If you *HAVE* routable IP ranges behind your NAT and you simply want them to bypass the NAT, the easiest way is to run natd with the -u switch. This will cause natd to only operate on unregistered (eg, 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16) addresses.

When the system boots and displays its Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt prompt, hit space to get to a bootloader prompt. Then type this in: set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 boot You system will then boot with ACPI disabled. You will need to do this on every successive boot until you can edit the /boot/device.hints file and disable ACPI permanently.

I know this is a configuration problem of our mailserver but I couldn't help it since I'm not the mail administrator of my provider,so I tricked our external DNS to resolve also some internal names.. And finally it worked... but I didn't know that my previuos messages were queued.. and as soon as the service became available they were sent. :( So, i didn't send many times the same message on pourpose ... it was not intended, neverthless I regret my mistake, and apologize to anyone who feels offended by that.

I came up with these numbers in an attempt to get client NFS access speeds up to par with SMB or CIFS connections: nfsserver:/data /data nfs fsv3,intr,rdirplus,-r=32768,-w=32768,rw On the NFS server I have in my /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.nfs.async=1 Also make sure you have enough nfsiod running on the client to service requests, and enough nfsd on the server to service the clients.

shell script to backup files with datestamp
Without dumping to perl or another external language, would like to accomplish the following; prior to making changes in a file, backup incrementially the current file to create a record of changes ans versions. For example. we are about to make changes to file.conf and would like to make a copy of our current file before doing so *without* overwriting previous backup copies #cp /path/to/file.conf /path/to/file.conf.20030210 I almost want to say this could be done with something simple like #cp /path/to/file.conf /path/to/file.conf.$DATE which would be the solution if I was using perl, php, or soething else to accomplish the copy of files, but would prefer a simple one liner without having to load another processor just for this one command.

login.conf idletime parameter
Hi, I've been looking through the (4.7) source to try find what process implements the idletime parameter in login.conf. I can't find any reference to the parameter in the shells, logins, etc. In fact, I don't find any reference to weektime, daytime, monthtime, sessiontime, or idletime (see the login.conf man page). My question: are these implemented?

SIGCHLD
Hello I'm having a problem when running a program that forks a child. The program handles SIGCHLD with its own function that calls waitpid(). So the program thinks that when SIGCHLD is raised then the child is terminated. But the parent gets SIGCHLD even if the child is still running and then the following happens - The child is doing its job but the parent calls the SIGCHLD handler and gets into waitpid() (although it shouldn't !) SIGNAL(3) manual page says: NameDefault Action Description SIGCHLD discard signal child status has changed Does this mean that SIGCHLD is not only raised when the process is terminated ? And does it mean, always ignore SIGCHLD and never trust it ? And what does this mean child status has changed ? When is it changed ? thanks P.S. Please include my mail when replying.

Re: LED Mouse Flashing
Temporary solution: Intellimouse apparently doesn't detect properly over a KVM. With flags 0x600 in the kernel on the psm line, the device detects and works as a normal PS/2 mouse. Is there anyone out there that may know how to get this mouse working with the wheel? - Original Message - From: Justin P. Michel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 09, 2003 10:29 AM Subject: LED Mouse Flashing Greetings, I'm running FreeBSD V4.7.p4, with a Logitech LED Mouse. The mouse is being detected in the dmesg output as an Intellimouse Device 4. When this happens, it starts flashing (the mouse LED itself), the keyboard (ie. I can still type, but the letters come up slowly), and the mouse does not work (either trying to run moused, or starting X). As well, after this happens, when I restart the system, I have to unplug the mouse, or I get an error about my keyboard not being plugged in. I've tried putting flags 0x100 on the psm line in the kernel, and I've tried removing the flags 0x1 from the keyboard device, both with no change. At one point, before I made the changes, the mouse was detected as a type Generic Device 0. When this happened, the system worked perfectly. Now, my question: Is there a way to specify to the kernel that I want it to use the generic driver for the mouse, and not the Intellimouse? As well, where (if any place) can I specify the device type to be 0, and not 4? Regards, Justin P.

exec'ing ppp from within PHP
Hi, I've run into a very strange problem: consider the following situation on a FreeBSD 4.7 system with custom /etc/rc* scripts: - system boots, /etc/rc is executed - /etc/rc executes a PHP script with a CLI version of PHP 4.3.0 - the PHP script uses exec() on a command like this: ppp -quiet -ddial test What happens is that at first, ppp runs fine - that is, until a certain amount of data has been transferred (about 5 MB). Then it dies without logging any messages. However, if I use the exact same command directly from within /etc/rc, ppp keeps working indefinitely without any problems - it will run for weeks and I can transfer gigabytes of data. I'm using ppp on a PPPoE connection (via netgraph). Sometimes also, when ppp has been exec'd by PHP, it immediately errors out, saying no matching session - that line obviously comes from netgraph's PPPoE module. Again, this only happens when exec'd from PHP - everything's OK from a shell script. I simply can't imagine what difference it makes whether ppp has been executed from PHP or from a shell script once it is running. And yes, I'm using /dev/null 21 in the exec() in PHP to make sure PHP won't wait for ppp - in fact PHP exits correctly after the exec, leaving ppp to run in the background. What puzzles me even more is that it doesn't work either when I use PHP to exec a shell script that in turn executes ppp. I checked to make sure that PHP doesn't set any ulimits that could get applied to the processes it creates - it sets none. I have cvsup'ed to 4.7-RELEASE-p4, made world, did everything to ensure that every single binary in the system was recompiled, tried it on another machine, but no such luck. Could somebody shed some light on this? Are there any other attributes similar to resource limits that can be inherited by child processes? Thanks!

The .AppleDouble directories were created by NetAtalk. They were not the creation of clients which had connected to the share. But you may be on to something as MacOS X does like to create a dot file/directory on shared resources, its just not called .AppleDouble. More like .sD2 IIRC. Well, I could be wrong about, .AppleDouble specifically, but the whole theory that dotfiles could be disappearing into a Samba black hole is what I was trying to put across. I also think you guys might be on to something. The only difference between the 2 shares is that the ServerFiles share has a 'veto' option in it to hide these files. Maybe my understanding of veto is wrong, I always thought that it hid the files not disallowed them to be created. I will try again monday by commenting out the veto directive and see if that is the problem. I will post my results to the list about what I find. Thanks a lot! Jon I am on the OS X and Samba lists and posted this question to both lists. Out of desperation I posted to the FreeBSD list and once again my question was answered. This list ROCKS!!! The problem is now solved and both Macs and Windows boxen can get in and save and edit files on the Samba server. There are two possibilities to what made this work. One is what was told to me about creating '.' files for the Macs. The Macs create a '.' file in the directory to, I'm assuming, hold the resource fork for the file so the Mac can read it. The other solution might have been that when I looked back inot the ServerFiles share on the server I noticed there were already some '.' files created by the Macs. One of these was called '.FBCLockFolder' I deleted all the '.' files that I found to be created by the Macs and everthing is working as expected. Unfortunatley, I tried both solutions at once so can't say for sure which one was the fix. But I have posted both solutions in case anyone else runs into this problem.

I have had similar problems with php. You need to use /usr/sbin/daemon or /usr/ports/sysutils/detach if your FreeBSD doesn't have deamon.

Racoon and L2TP?
Do Racoon and L2TP (l2tpd) work together? I am trying to make an IPSec VPN server based on FreeBSD for W2K clients, and I need the L2TP to pass through NAT. I was able to get l2tpd to work by itself, (by disabling IPSec in Windows) but when I bring racoon into the picture, W2K can no longer connect. The error message is that the remote machine was not answering. I have found several FreeBSD/racoon/IPSec = W2K tutorials, but none of them address the issue using L2TP. It is supposed to work with FreeS/WAN, but that means Linux:x Before I rack my brain any further, can someone tell me if this combination is even possible? Thanks in advance for the help!

printf...! BSD
Hi, First of all, Thanks to all of you for your help and support. I have tried to go deeper and deeper to find out how printf works. ((( Of course the aim of trying to understand the printf, is to understand how the internals of the BSD kernel work))) till i've faced the following function: fo_write which was confusing for me =) Then, I've figured out that i need to understand two important things in the BSD to know how the printf works. The first thing is how dose the device driver works, and the second thing is the file system, and small knowledge about the process structure. I will try to do that, but which resources can help me. For Linux, there are two great book which can make my life easier FOR LINUX ONLY 1.UNDERSTANDING THE LINUX KERNEL. 2.LINUX DEVICE DRIVERS. Now what resources you can recommend for me!
