need advice on routing
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi ! I have a question not FreeBSD specific, but since I'm going to use FreeBSD to achieve what I need, I wanted your advice. I just arrived in a new company and their network has 2 xDSL connexions to the Net. I was wondering what would be the best setup using FreeBSD as a gateway: - - should I make FreeBSD use the 2 connections as the same time (to have twice the bandwidth), with bandwidth management for important services we host - - or should I install 2 FreeBSD gateways, one for each connection (lan -- net; public_ip_pool -- net) and make them communicate within a local LAN (separate from the main one). I need the main lan to be able to communicate with the public_ip_pool. - - or something else ... ? If I had only one connection, I would build a LAN+DMZ+gateway, but I never really worked with 2 connections. If you have any advice concerning this, working under FreeBSD of course, please let me know. Best regards. - -- Antoine Jacoutot [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lphp.org PGP/GnuPG key: http://www.lphp.org/ressources/ajacoutot.asc -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/VYNAY3Hnhkr+5cQRAjJQAKCFZwgc3Sa4m3R3y/ybo8YlhVMEyACfV+8p iBy3dAI3EobGJggyRHVmE/o= =8Rrt -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could I ever see eany effective difference with an optimised kernel?

Dual-head is possible with the nvidia driver. The driver itself is a pain if you got other nvidia stuff in your computer (nforce(2)), because it just looks at the vendor id and not on the device class.

I've managed to crank it up as far as options MAXDSIZ=(3568*1024*1024) Cool! Although I tried 3500 it blew up too... Bah! Just for the record, I read those figures from a discarded kernel configuration file, and the above values (3568MB max data size for a process) don't work. The highest value I've been able to boot correctly with is (only) 2816Mb. There's probably a few more megabytes that can be eked out, but I'm pretty sure that 3072 fails. The error is something to do with the kernel being able to map the largest-sized process into memory. It blows up at boot-time with some sort of vmalloc or kmalloc error. I searched the archives when I was working on this, and came across a kernel developer who replied to someone having simuilar difficulties and they said why would you want to do something like that? His reasoning being that the left-over memory would be better used by the OS for caching and buffering anyway. I don't really consider that as a good answer, at least not for modern machines with large amounts of RAM. I have a 4Gb RAM server running Squid, and nothing else. Squid represents a very specialised problem domain and has elaborate algorithms to decide what to keep in RAM, and what, and when, to write out to disk. Much more so than the OS, which is tuned to deal with the common case. When it's time for an object to be written out to disk, it should be written out quickly, so that the RAM can be freed up and given to something else more deserving of being cached. As it happens, the SCSI controller has a large slab of RAM on it too, so there's even less point for the OS to hold onto it for too long in disk buffers. As it is, I never see the Cache and Buf values in top(1) rise about 85M and 199M respectively. I take that to mean that the OS isn't using the extra memory either. I've looked around at sysctl settings and the source and the documentation suggests that modifying anything to do with VM settings is akin to meddling with the affairs of wizards. This seems to me then, when adding in another 20Mb for sundry housekeeping processes, that just under a gig of RAM is going wasted. I could easily cache another 5 web objects *in RAM* if I could make it available to Squid. So if there's something that can be done about huge maximum process sizes, I'd love to hear about it. I'd *really* like to be able to have a 3.5Gb process in a 4Gb machine. 512Mb ought to be enough for everything else. I've become skilled in not running anything else on that server that could possibly chew up RAM and upset Squid.

Configuration files after portupgrade horde and imp
Hi lists, I just upgraded horde and php on our server via portupgrade. After the upgrade nothing was working anymore, it was impossible to login to horde anymore. I noticed that my horde/imp configuration files had been replced by the default files. My old files had been saved as filename.bak. Is this expected behaviour? Wouldn't it be better to leave the config files intact and install the new ones as filename.dist.new or something similar? This way the application would still be working after the upgrade and i would have time to inspect the new default config files for changes without being disturbed by users complaining that they can't use their webmail interface anymore?

RE: 3c905b-tx not working
I have just installed FreeBSD 5.0 on a Pent. 200 MMX w/192 MB RAM and 3 8 GB HDs (SCSI-using AHA-2940U). My NIC is a 3c905b-tx. The MB is set to non-plug-and-play. While booting the NIC shows link on my hub, but no activity (duh), but as soon as the kernel sends configuration parameters to the NIC it goes offline...no link lights or anything. I know the NIC works fine as I was using it with Win98SE just minutes before loading FreeBSD 5.0. I use the NICs config prog to check all the settings and they all appear to be fine.

Re: Ghost for FreeBSD
g4u doesn't work too well as I don't have another ftp server locally other then the FreeBSD machine itself. I already figured out how to do it and a better way that can be done via cron automatically... 12.3.1 Using sysinstall(8) Navigating Sysinstall You may use /stand/sysinstall to partition and label a new disk using its easy to use menus. Either login as user root or use the su command. Run /stand/sysinstall and enter the Configure menu. Within the FreeBSD Configuration Menu, scroll down and select the Fdisk option. fdisk Partition Editor Once inside fdisk, we can type A to use the entire disk for FreeBSD. When asked if you want to ``remain cooperative with any future possible operating systems'', answer YES. Write the changes to the disk using W. Now exit the FDISK editor by typing q. Next you will be asked about the Master Boot Record. Since you are adding a disk to an already running system, choose None. Disk Label Editor Next, you need to exit sysinstall and start it again. Follow the directions above, although this time choose the Label option. This will enter the Disk Label Editor. This is where you will create the traditional BSD partitions. A disk can have up to eight partitions, labeled a-h. A few of the partition labels have special uses. The a partition is used for the root partition (/). Thus only your system disk (e.g, the disk you boot from) should have an a partition. The b partition is used for swap partitions, and you may have many disks with swap partitions. The c partition addresses the entire disk in dedicated mode, or the entire FreeBSD slice in slice mode. The other partitions are for general use. sysinstall's Label editor favors the e partition for non-root, non-swap partitions. Within the Label editor, create a single file system by typing C. When prompted if this will be a FS (file system) or swap, choose FS and type in a mount point (e.g, /mnt). When adding a disk in post-install mode, sysinstall will not create entries in /etc/fstab for you, so the mount point you specify is not important. In this stage, specify / for the mountpoint to get the a partition and then change the mountpoint to /mnt/root before exiting or writing in the label editor. You are now ready to write the new label to the disk and create a file system on it. Do this by typing W. Ignore any errors from sysinstall that it could not mount the new partition. Exit the Label Editor and sysinstall completely. After this: mkdir /mnt mkdir /mnt/root mkdir /mnt/var mkdir /mnt/usr /sbin/mount /dev/ad1s1a /mnt/root /sbin/mount /dev/ad1s1e /mnt/var /sbin/mount /dev/ad1s1f /mnt/usr cd /mnt/root /sbin/dump -L -f- /|restore -rf- cd /mnt/var /sbin/dump -L -f- /var|restore -rf- cd /mnt/usr /sbin/dump -L -f- /usr|restore -rf- Cheers, Vince - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Vice President __ Unix Networking Operations - FreeBSD-Real Unix for Free / / / / | / |[__ ] WurldLink Corporation / / / / | / | __] ] San Francisco - Honolulu - Hong Kong / / / / / |/ / | __] ] HongKong Stars/Gravis UltraSound Mailing Lists Admin /_/_/_/_/|___/|_|[] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - oahu.DAL.NET Hawaii's DALnet IRC Network Server Admin On Wed, 3 Sep 2003, Mike Tancsa wrote: use g4u to make a copy of your HD to a local ftp server off your original drive.

Re: ipfw with four interfaces
Try having the very first rule divert ip from any to any to natd Then, you can configure NATD to only effect RFC1918 packets by adding a -u to the command line. NAT will take the packet, process it if it's an RFC 1918 address, if not, allow it to pass and then reinject it into the firewall at rule 2 (or next available rule) and continue processing the ruleset. Like I described I allready use this flag. The problem with having divert at the top is that I get thrown off my ssh connection every time when I try to reload natd or ipfw. Does it matter if I allow ssh from my network before I divert packets to natd? I've not been awake for long and have had little to no Mt Dew yet so don't hold this against me. Without going over this for awhile, which I recommend when doing a firewall, this may be something in the neighborhood that you're looking for. In your /usr/local/etc/natd.sh #!/bin/sh natd -interface xl2 -s -m -u Or if you start it from rc.conf: natd_flags=-s -m -u I use a natd config file with all these flags so that is taken care of. The -s tells it to use sockets so that FTP doesn't get broken. You may not need this. The -m tells natd to attempt to use the same socket as the originating host. The -u tells natd to only translate RFC 1918 packets. In your firewall rules file: ### # more fwrules fwcmd=/sbin/ipfw extif=xl2 dmzif=fxp0 lanif=xl0 motorif=xl1 # # $fwcmd -f flush # # #NATD Divert $fwcmd add 1 divert natd all from any to any via xl2 # #You want blocked outbound ports to match early on in the firewall. # # Blocking ports out to Internet that I don't like: $fwcmd add 100 deny tcp from any to any 135-139 out via $extif $fwcmd add 100 deny tcp from any to any 445 out via $extif # #Then your allows: # #Network Allows $fwcmd add 300 allow ip from any to any via $extif $fwcmd add 300 allow ip from any to any via $dmxif $fwcmd add 300 allow ip from any to any via $lanif $fwcmd add 300 allow ip from any to any via $motorif Hm.. You really mean I should add that first allow line there? This four rules together is basically the same as ipfw add allow ip from any to any isn't it? # Allow http to the whole dmz from Internet: $fwcmd add 400 allow tcp from any to w.x.y.80/28 http via $extif # # Allow smtp and pop3 to the mailserver from Internet: $fwcmd add 500 allow tcp from any to w.x.y.84 smtp,pop3 via $extif Aren't these two rules overlapping the first 300 rule? #Lastly, your denies # #Network Denies # # Default Block $fwcmd add 65000 deny ip from any to any Hope this helps you out. Haven't been able to try them out yet, but I don't feel allowing The first 300 rule will probably help me having the firewall allowing traffic for me, but I wasn't really planning to allow everything in. And will deny rules have effect when the traffic allready is allowed?

RE: Non working dvdrom drive.
I have the same problem with my FreeBSD 5.1-R system on an Intel 865 chipset box. I have two hard drives on one IDE channel and a CD-R/W and CD-ROM on the other. FreeBSD always recognizes the CD drive that is jumpered master and throws the Retries Exceeded error for the slave, regardless of which drive is master and which is slave. I've just ignored this problem so far as it isn't mission-critical, but it seems like a shared problem is a good one to solve. Any advice from this list would be heartily appreciated! ...Robert I have installed FreeBSD-4.8-stable on my Intel 815 chipset Pentium III box. It has a hard drive (Seagate ST-340014A)jumpered as primary master and a DVDROM (Asus E616) jumpered as the primary slave. I also have a CDWriter (Samsung SW-212B) on the secondary master. When FreeBSD Boots up it throws out an error while identifying the DVDROM Drive as ATA Device Identification Retries Exceeded. If i change the places of the DVDROM and cdwriter then the dvdrom works fine but the same error occurs for the cdwriter which is now primary slave. The firmware of the DVDROM is updated to the latest release and so in the MotherBoard BIOS (Fujitsu-siemens D1184). All the drives works fine in Windows as well as NetBSD and Linux.

HI, We having free BSD 4.8 Server for backup, we are copying and write all in CDs. Is there is any provision for a)implementing disk mirroring in Free BSD server (for both System Datafiles) Yes. Look up 'vinum' in the handbook. b)Is it possible to make any backup NIS server, which will backup the data will come up when Primary server goes down. I think it is a bit more complicated than you state it. Better let someone else answer that. Can you please revert with details. ??

Booting bit-by-bit (rc.conf broken)
My rc.conf file appears to be broken in some way, and this is preventing my system from booting. It boots to a heavily resticted system, with only the / file system mounted and the statically linked binaries available. Problem is, I can't edit my rc.conf or remove it. Is their any way I can either selectivly execute statements in the rc.conf during bootup (similar to the old dos method), or a way I can force login, so I can remove the damaged rc.conf.

I have successfully restored /var and /usr, on occasion; but that is rather easy, as they can be unmounted. With the root partition, that is not possible, of course. Short of having to switch cables on harddisks, is there a software method that will allow me to restore/switch the root partion? To mirror the root partition to another: # mkdir /mnt/root # mount /dev/ROOT-MIRROR-DEV /mnt/root # cd /mnt/root # /sbin/dump -f- / | restore -rf- You will not *need* to umount the root partition. (If you wanted to hot-swap between them, I'm not sure it's possible on FBSD. There is a ``pivot_root'' syscall on linux, though.) To mirror another partition, do mostly the same thing, but replace / with the partition in the dump line (and make sure the correct destination is mounted on your current directory for the restore). Dump/restore is pretty much the accepted way of doing this. -- Josh ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Tar question
I'm a little confused about the arguments for tar. I want to tar the contents of a directory and save that .tgz file for backup purposes. Problem is, when I copy larry.tgz to /disk2 and: Tar xvfz larry.tgz It creates the /disk2 file structure within /disk2. # cd # ls /disk2 # freebsd larry (directories) # tar cvfz larry.tgz /disk2 # cp larry.tgz /disk2 # cd /disk2 # tar xvfz larry.tgz # ls # freebsd larry disk2 (directories) How can I make tar not create the directory structure within the same directory? Does that make sense? I tried tar cvfzP, no joy. Just cd in to the lowest level of directory structure you want to preserve and do the tar from there. So your example above would morph to: # cd # ls /disk2 # freebsd larry (directories) # cd /disk2 # tar cvfz ../larry.tgz * # # cp ../larry.tgz /disk3 (NOTE: using disk3 for clarity - to avoid the # cd /disk3 issue of replacing copies of the same file) # tar xvfz /larry.tgz # ls # freebsd larry (directories) larry.tgz There are possibly other ways using switches, but this makes most sense. jerry Man tar didn't have anything that jumped out at me, but I could have missed or misunderstood something. If the solution is in the man page, I would appreciate a reference to the section, so I can re-read it to understand.

If you can't figure out how to set your Email client for that, just hit ENTER(RETURN) like people used to have to do on a typewriter. Second, you will have to boot in to single user, do a manual fsck, remount the root file system and then the others if needed and then [use vi to] edit your rc.conf file. There is lots of stuff in the documentation on booting single user, etc but briefly: - Force a boot - when you get the message, something like 'press space to stop or any other key to boot immediately' then hit the spacebar. - type boot -s and let it finish - when it asks for a shell hit ENTER and do the following. - fsck -p - mount -u / - mount -a - swapon -a - vi /etc/rc.conf and write it out 'ESC:wq' when you are done. - shutdown -r now(or just CTRL-D - I'm superstitious about boots) If that did it, you're fine.

Re: Suggestions to a command line editor
If you are serious about editing, it is probably wise to at least be proficient in ed and vi. Everything else beyond that is eye candy. no editor wars intended. Ed will dig you out of deep holes when all you have is your root fs and everything else has gone to hades in a handbasket. Vi will do everything else and not eat up every system resource in town. Both are pretty much standard on every current form of *nix. Anything else will be iffy, and if not standard you will have to roll in your own toolkit.

Question
Hi my name is Karina! Yesterday someone put me in charge of a server (it seems that is a Firewall) with FreeBSD 4.2-Release version, the first thing I have told to do is to change de IP address and the defaultrouter, so I edited the next files: /etc/hosts /etc/rc.conf And I rebooted the server so that the changes take effect. The first thing I did was to check if the changes were made, with the ipconfig -a command, and yes, the changes were made. I only changed the IP address of one of the two interfaces (xI1). I don't know why but I keep receiving the next errors: egw ipmon[55]:17:30:47.435327 xI1 @0:16 b 146.250.4.9 --- 146.250.4.1 PR icmp len 20 21504 icmp 8/0 OUT egw ipmon[55]:17:30:47.435327 xI1 @0:16 b 146.250.4.9 --- 146.250.17.4,53 PR udp len 20 21504 icmp 8/0 OUT egw /kernel:arp:146.250.4.1 is on xI1 but got reply from ethernet address of interface xI0 on xI0 Where egw is the hostname 146.250.4.9 is the IP address of the interface xI1 146.250.4.1 is the defaultrouter 192.168.200.1 is the IP address of the interface xl0 This server has 2 network interfaces xI0 and xI1.

A difference of a few hundred grams won't be noticable most of the time compared with ~50 kg of the rider+bike, but for some trips-- particularly over the long hau;-- every little bit helps. There's more to the analogy: reducing the size of the kernel is more useful than saving memory elsewhere in much the same way that reducing the weight of bicycle tires counts more than reducing the weight of the frame. Reducing tire weight affects not just total mass but the amount of rotational interia as well. Reducing the size of the kernel rather than some random userland process (like /bin/sh) reduces the amount of wired down memory and saves KVA. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't see a quick answer on your webpages to my questions. Where can I find Fortran Basic A Database similar to Access There are no products similar to MS Access. MS Access is a **desktop** database with good connectivity and some **nifty** RAD/GUI tools. Even with Codeweaver's CrossOffice 2.0, however, MS Access has memory problems running on Linux. (This is from personal experience.) Database servers include PostgreSQL and MySQL (there are others). If you tend to push your hardware limits, I recommend PostgreSQL on FreeBSD over either database on Linux. (I've tried both databases on Linux and FreeBSD on the same hardware. Your Mileage May Vary.) Privilege administration is easier in MySQL since it allows the use of wildcards in place of database and table names. MySQL, however, does not have a boolean (true/false, yes/no) data type. ODBC drivers are available for both PostgreSQL and MySQL. Using MS Access as a GUI, client to PostgreSQL or MySQL works very well for applications and data analysis; but is not a good choice for database server administration. Spreadsheets Spreadsheet programs include gnumeric, OpenOffice and Kspread. Pkzip There are various compression utilities. I actually prefer to use gzip on the command line in both FreeBSD and Windows. There is also a GUI gzip for Windows: wingz. I hear a lot about the system being a server, but all I need to do is browse the web and use email similar to Netscape. How easy is it to set up? Install a desktop and run Mozilla, which is at the core of Netscape. It will look very familiar.

How to Get Public IP From LinkSys Router?
I need to get my public IP address from a LinkSys cable router and don't have any idea where to start. The LinkSys is doing NAT and my FBSD box in on the private network on the inside.

What commands and/or ports are there that would provide the public IP address from the command line so I pass the IP to a script? Any ideas? The way I do it with my router (BEFW11S4 V2) is to use lynx to download the HTML status page from the router and extract the public IP address. I do this in a cron job every 15 minutes, and when it notices an IP change, it fires off my dynamic DNS updates. -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I happen to be logged in as root on my FreeBSD terminal when I log into the router with Netscape, then after I'm finished with my work and close Netscape, I find that the permissions on /dev/null have been reset to: crw---. I'm running Netscape-4.76. I also have a late version of Mozilla installed which doesn't seem to mangle the file permissions on /dev/null the way Netscape does. I also don't need to be logged in as root when I run Netscape to tweak the router, it just happens that when I'm doing other administrative stuff I think to look at the router also.

how to run a program as a daemon
I am running tmda-ofmipd for my smtp server and occasionally it dies. I wonder how I could set it up to run so that if it dies for some reason, it will start up again. Right now, it starts in my rc.local like so; /usr/local/bin/tmda-ofmipd -R imap://localhost -u tofmipd The only way I can think of doing it is to set up a crontab entry to a program that would check if it is still running, and if it is not, then have it start it again.

Problems with dhclient....
I have looked through all the help files that I can find, handbook and such (along with the Complete FreeBSD book).. And I just can't seem to solve this problem: I am setting up high speed internet for a Cable Modem. My cable provider uses a DHCP setup, thus I have to use dhclient. I am running an NC100 ethernet card (using the tulip.o driver) - That seems to be working fine (As it will obtain the DHCP information from my router when it is setup). However, whenever I set my router to bridging (as I want to be able to connect to the box when I'm away from home, and NATting doesn't work real well for that), the box can't seem to use DHCP to get it's information. My ISP provisions for 3 IP addresses, and I'm only using one other (and I have checked to make sure that any previous are released from the modem itself). I'm pulling an IP of 0.0.0.0 when I use ifconfig. I've also went through my rc.conf file to make sure everything is setup.it seems okay. Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance for the help! (Please send email directly back to this email address if any other information is needed, or you have a suggestion!)
