if a file is used a lot, does it stay in a RAM cache?
If a file is loaded off the hard drive a lot, does FreeBSD keep it in RAM? For my high-traffic website, Apache+PHP, I have a PHP file that I'm going to be including a LOT. The file is 3 megs, though. Takes a few unfortunate seconds to load into memory off of disk the first time. So - what would it take to keep it in RAM instead of being loaded off of hard drive every second of the day? Does FreeBSD do that automatically or do I need some kind of accelerator app?

RE: Sound not working on laptop
Hi, Thanks for all the help. I tried to locate a 'Non Plug-and-Play OS' option in the BIOS setup with no success. I think there aren't anything like this in my BIOS. Can someone on this list shed some light how to detect (track) IRQs and conflicts? Thanks, Mazen Yes, it is solvable. In your system BIOS, make certain that your system is set to 'Non Plug-and-Play OS.' This will enable the BIOS to assign appropriate IRQs and such. You have some conflict, which I'm not 100% certain on how to track. Someone on this list should be able to answer that part. Once you figure this out, you should set a line in your kernel config (not sure on syntax) to the effect of assiging an unused IRQ. It IS recognizing your sound card and trying to use it, but it's running into an Input/Output (that's where it gets IO in IO port space) conflict. -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would like to limit the amount of space available for each user's e.mail so e.mail file size will not go crazy. What exactly do you want to do? Filesystem quotas will cause a bounce message to be returned to the sender indicating that the recipient was over quota. That's generally the preferred way because the operating system takes care of most of it. You could modify that bounce message to include friendlier text if the default text is a problem for you. Alternately, you could implement a solution using procmail, with a small tool like http://www.it.ca/software/fsizecompare.c to determine existing filesize and behave accordingly. Or you could come up with other clever behaviour based on whatever criteria you dream up. But you have to dream it up first. Figure out exactly what you want to do with your users' mail. Then try to write something that does it. And if you have problems with that, come back to the list and ask for advice. :-) p -- Paul Chvostek [EMAIL PROTECTED] it.canadahttp://www.it.ca/ Free PHP web hosting!http://www.it.ca/web/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well I don't know, that's my question... I am using sendmail. Exim can do quotas. http://www.exim.org/ also in the ports: /usr/ports/mail/exim/ I've never actually used the quota system myself in Exim but it sounds relatively straightforward - from the specifications for Exim: quota Type: string* Default: unset This option imposes a limit on the size of the file to which Exim is appending, or to the total space used in the directory tree when the directory option is set. In the latter case, computation of the space used is expensive, because all the files in the directory (and any sub- directories) have to be individually inspected and their sizes summed (but see quota_size_regex below). Also, there is no interlock against two simultaneous deliveries into a multi-file mailbox. For single-file mailboxes, of course, an interlock is a necessity. A file's size is taken as its used value. Because of blocking effects, this may be a lot less than the actual amount of disk space allocated to the file. If the sizes of a number of files are being added up, the rounding effect can become quite noticeable, especially on systems that have large block sizes. Nevertheless, it seems best to stick to the used figure, because this is the obvious value which users understand most easily. The value of the option is expanded, and must then be a numerical value (decimal point allowed), optionally followed by one of the letters K or M. A value of zero unsets the option. The expansion happens while Exim is running as root, before it changes uid for the delivery. This means that files which are inaccessible to the end user can be used to hold quota values that are looked up in the expansion. When delivery fails because this quota is exceeded, the handling of the error is as for system quota failures. By default, Exim's quota checking mimics system quotas, and restricts the mailbox to the specified maximum size, though the value is not accurate to the last byte, owing to separator lines and additional headers that may get added during message delivery. When a mailbox is nearly full, large messages may get refused even though small ones are accepted, because the size of the current message is added to the quota when the check is made. This behaviour can be changed by setting quota_is_inclusive false. When this is done, the check for exceeding the quota does not include the current message. Thus, deliveries continue until the quota has been exceeded; thereafter, no further messages are delivered. See also quota_warn_threshold. quota_directory Type: string* Default: unset This option defines the directory to check for quota purposes when delivering into individual files. The default is the delivery directory, or, if a file called maildirfolder exists in a maildir directory, the parent of the delivery directory. quota_filecount Type: string* Default: 0 This option applies when the directory option is set. It limits the total number of files in the directory (compare the inode limit in system quotas). It can only be used if quota is also set. The value is expanded; an expansion failure causes delivery to be deferred. quota_is_inclusive Type: boolean Default: true See quota above. quota_size_regex Type: string Default: unset This option applies when one of the delivery modes that writes a separate file for each message is being used. When Exim wants to find the size of one of these files in order to test the quota, it first checks quota_size_regex. If this is set to a regular expression that matches the file name, and it captures one string, that string is interpreted as a representation of the file's size. The value of quota_size_regex is not expanded. This feature is useful only when users have no shell access to their mailboxes - otherwise they could defeat the quota simply by renaming the files. This facility can be used with maildir deliveries, by setting maildir_tag to add the file length to the file name. For example: maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size quota_size_regex = ,S=(\d+) The regular expression should not assume that the length is at the end of the file

It does not appear that the /conf/* directories are overriding the contents found in /diskless_root/etc. What happens is, I boot up via etherboot, the kernel downloads and loads up successfully. When it comes time to process the information in /etc, it is actually reading the cloned config files from the server.

I know about the end-of-life message. For now, at least, it doesn't bother me. I just now looked at gnomemeeting. It doesn't appear to support encryption. Do you know if there's a way to keep private conversations private, short of VPN's or the like? Speakfreely was first installed from ports, then compiled in half duplex mode. If I launch sfspeaker -d from one window, and sfmike -d some.host from another, I get the following error from sfspeaker: new:dmiller$ sfspeaker -d sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting. sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting. sfspeaker: 10.0.0.3 packet lost by half-duplex muting. This is exactly what's supposed to happen when you compile it with half duplex mode enabled. You should recompile it without defining HALF_DUPLEX (which should be the default) if you want this behaviour to stop. I started out with full duplex. The error message said to compile it in half duplex. One other thing that seems odd is that sound from the mike comes through the speakers even when sfmike is paused. If this is sound from your locally connected mic, then this is probably a mixer 'input source' issue more than anything else. Try playing with the 'rec' and 'mic' input level and see if it makes any difference. I didn't observe this on a windows machine against an echo server. My freebsd box doesn't speak anything from an echo server, just gives me the error messag above. From looking briefly at the code, it looks like speakfreely thinks something else already has exclusive access to the card. man pcm indicates that the driver is full duplex, for those cards which support it. I tried a card with the yamaha chip (opl, iirc) that certainly supported it, with the same results. sflaunch should work with half duplex drivers/devices, but I don't get any sound echoed back from echo servers with it either, just the muting message above.

Oops. Now if I had a dollar for every time *I'd* done something like that... Zebra implemets a number of routing protocols, including bgp. With BGP you can pick the best route *out* for your packet, but everyone else's BGP sessions will decide the best route *in* for you. In other words, to me, if i can pick the source ip address of my _outgoing_ packet, i.e. on which interface the connection is made, i'd be a happy camper. Isn't this equivilent to selecting the outbound route? You want to select 10.a.b.c uf you want the connection routed out ISP 1 and 192.168.x.y otherwise. since i have two interfaces with two ip addies, the first http connection can have a 192.168.0/24 ip address, with the flow being carried on fxp0. the second http connection have have a 10.1/16 address with the flow being carried on the aue0. that would actually solve the problem, without having to set up multiple static routes. would this be possible ? I don't think that's really going to help much. You still have to have some basis for knowing which network you want to handle which connections. Unless you're doing heavy duty uploading somewhere you're very likely to be limited by your inbound bandwidth, so it doesn't really matter which interface you're going out anyway. FreeBSD should pick the closest IP address for any outgoing connections anyway. Say you had two real addresses so we can forget about NAT, 12.1.2.3 and 24.2.3.4. Say you routed 60.1/16 out the upstream for 24.2.3.4. Say you pinged 60.1.2.3. It would already see a source address on the ping packets of 24.2.3.4, not 12.1.2.3. You don't have to do anything special for that to happen - your application would have to bind to 12.1.2.3 exclusively in order for it to be the source address.

Problems with FreeBSD 4.8 on Compaq Armada M700 laptop
Despite the fact that the laptop compatibility base has an entry for this machine that looks good for FreeBSD 5.0, I'm not having the best luck that one might hope. I've read through the Release notes and Hardware notes, and Errata on the web site for this release and on the CD (NFS mounted from my desktop-based FreeBSD 4.3 system - I know - I'm a little behind), I haven't found anything that seems to address anything like these issues: 1) The CD-ROM, which worked great to install the system, doesn't work when I boot from the hard-drive installed system. The MFS kernel reports Jan 11 17:56:56 pearl /kernel: acd0: CDROM Compaq CRN-8241B at ata0-slave PIO but I just get device not configured when I boot the GENERIC kernel that was installed. /dev/acd0 does appear in the device directory, and I ran MAKEDEV on it, just to make double sure. 2) APM also says device not configured. Don't know if this works with the MFS/installation kernel. 3) Even though xf86config seems to have correctly identified the adapter, and it works nicely at 1024x768, I can't seem to get the color depth working at anything other than 256. I have tried startx -- -bpp 24 and startx -- -bpp 32 and startx -- -bpp 16 but it doesn't seem to matter. The PCMCIA/PC-Card stuff appears to be working, but I haven't tested it very thoroughly yet. I have xdm and kde up and running - so much is going well - but the CD-ROM issue is really slowing me down, and the display could sure use those extra colors... Maybe I should try a binary upgrade to 4.9, now that it's out? I don't currently have any reason to think that would help, but I haven't got any other go forward ideas, either.

#2 - Swapped disks and now stuck in the mountroot prompt
Date: 12 jan 2004 I've installed FreeBSD 4.9 on a ide0:0 (primary IDE, master hd) then ported the hard disk on a second PC and installed as ide1:0 (secondary IDE, master hd) without update the /etc/fstab file. When booting the kernel start probing devices, I see the disk as ad2 then the kernel halts when trying to mount the root file system with the following message: mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a root mount failed: 6 At the prompt I've tried with ufs:/dev/ad2s1a, now the right device, but it does not work. The solution is to instruct the kernel with the right device: but ad2s1a seems to be wrong... After several attempts I discover that the kernel must be started with the option -a: with this flag the device ufs:/dev/ad2s1a is accepted by mountroot and the boot proceed. Than I can change the fstab accordingly to make the change permanent. My question are: 1) I've made any mistake ? 2) Without the boot -a flag, why the kernel ask me a device and even it is the correct one vfs_conf.c:vfs_mountroot_ask() give me the error code 6?

Something that deals with classic Unix config files (ie, along the lines of /etc/rc.conf and the like), with #-style comments and simple key-value assignment should only take a few hours to whip up, if you can't use GLib or other GPL'ed code for your circumstances. If you need something fancier, consider lex and yacc (or flex bison), but XML property lists are another alternative that might be more flexible. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem with amd (automount daemon)
Still haven't completely figured out what the solution is, but I think I know what's happening: - kscd is hanging to the drive, even though there is no audio CD in there - amd fails at the first attempt to read /dev/cd0c and fails on succeeding calls However, even if I reload amd with 'killall -HUP amd' it doesn't show anything below /mnt/cdrom/. Perhaps there is some other file locked? I've got a problem with amd. This is the error I get when I access my CD-ROM drive at /mnt/cdrom/: [...] Is amd running, and with what arguments? What does your /etc/amd.conf file look like? Are portmap and nfsiod running? It has to be running, otherwise I wouldn't get the error messages, I presume.. This is in my /etc/rc.conf: portmap_enable=YES amd_enable=YES amd_flags=-a /.amd_mnt -c 3636 -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map And indeed it's running: $ ps -ax | grep amd 88 ?? Is 0:00.02 amd -p -a /.amd_mnt -c 3636 -l syslog /host /etc/ amd.map Also, I've found that at least some CD audio playing programs, like ascd, will hang onto the cd device even when they aren't playing and there's no audio CD in the tray. If I try to access a data CD after playing an audio CD, I will get the error you see unless I kill the CD-playing program. I did that and indeed kscd was hanging on it. I killed it and tried fstat again, and now I get: $ fstat /dev/rcd0c USER CMD PID FD MOUNT INUM MODE SZ|DV R/W NAME Nothing. Yet if I try to access /mnt/cdrom nothing happens.

mt command index?
Hello all, I've been getting started with backups and have found useful information about dump, tar, and mt in the archives of this list. For my purposes, tar will work better than dump, so I'm trying to run multiple sessions per tape using tar and the mt fsf x/mt eom commands to navigate my way around the sessions. My question is: is there a simple way to generate and index or catalog of the sessions on a tape when used in this way? I use mt eom and tar my next session, but if I forget to write one down, I'm n-1 backup and I end up overwriting the forgotten session, so the ability to catalog first would be very helpful.

RE: set env editor global
I think you are incorrect about root using the sh shell as default. My new fresh install of 4.9 uses csh as the root default shell.

Can I do this on a running system or do I first need to drop to single user mode? If I do that, how do that without rebooting? Does anyone have any experience with this? The other option seems to be to reboot the computer and use the Fastrak firmware to rebuild the array. Which option is the most painless?

FreeBSD, SSH and Enter Authentication Response
I have a nitpicky question about logging into a FreeBSD machine and
SSH. I'm using a minimal FreeBSD install and SSH Secure Shell client
v3.2.0 - the crux of the problem is I am unable to smoothly login.
When I login to my machine, I'm prompted to enter an authentication
response. A window is displayed with Enter Authentication Response
in the title bar, and two buttons at the bottom ('OK' and 'Cancel') -
the text says:
Enter your authentication response.
Password:
If I enter my password, I'm prompted with another window that has the
same title in the title bar, but says the following only:
Enter your authentication response.
I can then either select the 'OK' button or the 'Cancel' button.
If I choose cancel for the first dialogue box, I'm prompted with a
window that says Enter Password in the title bar and the text reading:
Password:
This is the window I normally see when I login to other *nix servers
(mainly servers on the UC Berkeley campus, mostly SunOS 5.8 boxes). Is
the FreeBSD box doing something during the SSH authentication process
that causes the client not to display the enter password dialogue as
soon as I connect to the server? How I can get my server to simply
prompt for my password the first time (e.g. can I make a change such
that I don't have to press 'OK' on a secod dialogue after entering my
password, or so that I don't have to press 'Cancel' first and then enter
my password?)

Re: 4.9, 5.1 boot failure after install
We finally have mail working again. I heard a number of responses. though none was the actual solution, corporately they massaged one to being. From one guy who installed redhat, to someone using the live disk, to adjusting bootstraps I still couldn't get to the file system, even after installing slackware. Problem is the hologram was writing over the error prompt. It wasn't until I used the raid device format and attempted to install that I got a readable error not close enough to boundary edge that I caught on that I probably had a geometry problem. I installed slackware but that didn't work. Out of frustration I installed windows 2000 and successfully replaced it with 4.9. I then tried to replace that with 5.1 and it failed. I then tried to reinstall 4.9 and that failed. I then went back to installing windows 2000 then replacing it with 4.9 and writing the geometry down. On the next attempt to install 5.1 I saw the geometry changed and the install failed. I attempted to reinstall 4.9 and it failed. I again reinstalled 4.9 changing the geometry to what I'd written down and the install was successful. The geometry chosen by windows worked. Now I don't know if it is the best economy (could be windows huge blocks wasting space on small files) but it does work. Here's the rub, this geometry is a lucky guess on 17G drives, what about when I replace them with 50 or 80G drives. How do I figure out the proper geometry? I'd like to setup 5.1 before I commit this box to the network, but it needs a different geometry that I couldn't guess. Is there a requirement standard?

vinum / 5.2 cant mount/growfs/newfs terabyte
Well its been quite a few months, and FreeBSD 5.2 got released today so I quickly went to see if my problem has been fixed yet, specially since the release notes were quite hopeful: The sizes of some members of the statfs structure have changed from 32 bits to 64 bits in order to better support multi-terabyte filesystems. I was hoping that was the fix...but it wasnt... And now my problem... I use vinum and a number of IDE drives on two boxes, primary server and backup. Around 5 or 6 months ago the size grew to be needing a terabyte or more -- so I did the usual and added a new drive to the vinum configuration, went to growfs (which has saved me more time than you can imagine, thanks freebsd) and no luck, newfs, no luck, mount the old one without modifying? no luck...it just breaks after making it larger than 1 tb. I've tried this one two boxes, various drives configs.

In fact i've used two vinum configs at the same time using all the drives because of this terabyte limit :( Now with the above setup, vinum thinks everything is fine and looks fine as far as I can tell.

The second i remove any drives that make it past the 1TB barrior i can mount/newfs it again no problems. Again, in any order and any drives on two different machines with a whole new set of drives. So thoughts anyone? is no one else in the world using vinum to concat some IDE drives past 1tb? i've heard of mount correctly mounting ufs2 partitions off hardware raids that are larger than 1tb no problem... it just seems to be some sort of problem with the two together...i'll be enternally grateful for anyone who can help me past this barrior, it is getting more and more difficult to work around separate partitions, etc -- and i see this becoming more and more common now that 300 gig drives are $299 retail...

You shouldn't ever need to modify this file, or anything else in /etc/defaults for that matter. /etc/rc.conf is where you put local changes to the defaults - things that are specific to your system or network. At the very least, you will probably want to set the name of your machine and configure whatever network interfaces you have in here. The installer may have already written some settings to /etc/rc.conf when you were first setting up FreeBSD on the machine. So my general rule is to only ever edit /etc/rc.conf, and to just put changes to the default settings in it. Some people will copy the whole /etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf and then make whatever changes they require - you get to see everything together in one file this way, but the danger is that you drift further and further away from the default configuration as upgrades change things in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, without you noticing.

Re: Mounting as non-root?
Hi, What is the most secure way to enable mounting of flash drives, cdroms, and floppies? I've seen solutions that include setting setuid on mount. I would rather not go this route. Is there any other easy, secure way? You can allow mounting for ordinary users with the following sysctl(8): vfs.usermount With Gnome 2.5 (probably also with 2.4, but I need to run the development version in order to help with some ports) users can mount cdroms and floppies on mount points in their home directories (~/cdrom and ~/floppies). Unfortunately, you will need appropriate entries into /etc/fstab for every user. Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Partitioning
I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.1. I have created by means other than the installation program, a partitioning of my disk (160 Gig), and I want to install on one of those partitions. I have three primary partitions and one extended where I have installed Linux in one logical partition. I want FreeBSD to go in another logical partition. When I installed 4.7 in another computer, I had no problems whatsoever. But with 5.1 the partitioning utility only sees the primary partitions, the first three and the extended one as a whole. It sees the extended partition as one partition without the logical ones created there. Apparently I must have the partition for FreeBSD as FAT, but other tools do not help me because the partition is too large to be FAT. Any help to solve this will be appreciated.

Cyrus-imapd2 installed through ports question
Hello everyone. I was having a problem after I installed cyrus-imapd2 through the ports tree. Everything on the installation went well. However, im seeing a error pop up in my log that I cannot figure out. Thus, I thought i'd ask here, see if anyone had any similiar problems. Note, this is on a FreeBSD 4.9 box: Cyrus-imapd-2.1.16 Cyrus-sasl-2.1.17 BerkeleyDB-4.1.25 This is from my /var/log/auth.log Jan 5 23:54:39 obsidianbox imapd[8015]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied Jan 5 23:54:43 obsidianbox imapd[8015]: no user in db The first one I figured out a workaround. Simple enough. The second one though, is really driving me up a wall. I'm completely baffled as to why this is showing up my logs. What is very odd, is that I can still connect and authenticate from a mail client. I also get it when I use 'imtest' for basic testing of the server. Lastly, I even get it when I connect to the 'cyradm' interface when I want to manage mailboxes. Yet, I can still login and things work. I've tried a variety of things and nothing seems to be working. Here is what I just did: Did a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.9. CVSup the ports and source tree. Navigated to /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd2 port make -DWITH_BDB_VER=41 -DWITH_SKIPLIST_MBOX -DWITH_SKIPLIST_SEEN -DWITH_MURDER As I type this email, im wondering if it could have been something I did: 1.) I actually edited the Makefile and changed the BDB_VER line from 3 to 41. Looking on my command line option, I specified 41, but I did it with -DWITH. Not sure if that would cause any problems. Anyone have any ideas on why im getting the no user in db entry in my log? I'm at a loss here.

RE: Mail in a Jail
Hi, I run my web sites from a jail. The time has come that i now need to send an email from one of those sites using the mail() function in php. I would like to know, what files do i need to be able to send mail from the jail using the mail command. The box is using sendmail as its mta, and is running 4.9 release. This plagued me too. I found a very easy solution: esmtp in the ports. A few catches: 1: You need an external SMTP server that will relay the mail for you. I was unable to get it to talk to the main host's SMTP, probably a feature of jailing... Luckily, I have another box on the LAN who's sole purpose is to relay mail for machines on the LAN. 2: After you install esmtp, change your sendmail links (/usr/sbin/sendmail at least I think) to point at it. 3: If you compiled PHP w/ a non-existent sendmail, you have to recompile. It's a little confusing, but if you dig far enough in the docs, mail() will not compile if sendmail doesn't exist (it tests). Enjoy!

Otherwise, I'd need a Xeon board. But that's another post in the thread. 3Ware cards are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Whatever code they have to optimize the disk use works wonders. I also believe the price is reasonable given its hardware RAID5. BE AWARE however (found this out the hard way), their performance optimizing code only works on the FIRST volume. Shouldn't be an issue with a 4-6 port card, but when you use 200gb+ drives on a 12 port card, you end up over the 2TB volume limit and the second volume is slow as molassas...

Port forwarding
Hello,
I have been trying to get this working for days and am obviously doing
something wrong and was wondering if any Guru's out there could give a
little guidance. Basically I'm looking to run a game server behind a
FreeBSD firewall. Here is my setup:
{internet} - [public address] - Firewall - (internal address) Game
server
Lets say public address is 1.2.3.4 and private address is 192.168.17.25
port is 5122
In the /etc/rc.conf I set the firewall policy to OPEN and enabled natd, I
gave it the natd options of -f /etc/natd.conf... for ipnat I have that
set to NO (not sure what it does)
In the natd.conf file I have this:
redirect_port tcp 192.168.17.25:5122 5122
redirect_port udp 192.168.17.25:5122 5122
I restart natd and theatrically everything that hits 1.2.3.4 on port 5122
should be automatically redirected to 192.168.17.25 port 5122, right?
I have also tried this (since the public interface is aliases (has more than
one public address associated with it)):
redirect_port tcp 192.168.17.25:5122 1.2.3.4:5122
redirect_port udp 192.168.17.25:5122 1.2.3.4:5122
Which doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas?

Re: (Yet Another) Home Networking Question
Perhaps someone can help me with this small part of rc.firewall: [Ss][Ii][Mm][Pp][Ll][Ee]) # This is a prototype setup for a simple firewall. Configure this # machine as a named server and ntp server, and point all the machines # on the inside at this machine for those services. # set these to your outside interface network and netmask and ip oif=ed0 onet=192.0.2.0 omask=255.255.255.0 oip=192.0.2.1 # set these to your inside interface network and netmask and ip iif=ed1 inet=192.0.2.1 imask=255.255.255.0 iip=192.0.2.17 I'm curious about the difference between 'inet' and 'iip', what each one stands for, and how to configure 'onet/oip' if the outside interface network is configured via DHCP. I'm also curious about this little snippet (under the 'simple' profile): # Everything else is denied by default, unless the # IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT option is set in your kernel # config file. What happens if this option is set in my kernel config file? Can I safely comment out this line and use the 'simple' profile without affecting natd?

To review, my setup is the following: ISP FreeBSD Gateway Win2k Box --rl0--rl1--- ALL DHCP 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 rl0 is connected to the modem by ethernet and set for DHCP, the ISP's method of address asignment. rl1 is the second NIC in the BSD box, and is connected by crossover cable to the Win2k box. FreeBSD box and Win2k box can successfully ping each other, and both FreeBSD box and Win2k have working internet access. Everything is running A-OK. If I wish to host WinVNC on the Win2k box, do I need to make any changes to the Gateway? Specifically, WinVNC requires the Win2k box to be listening on 5800 and 5900; I have opened these ports (and these ports only) on the Win2k box. Do I need to change rc.conf or any other files on the gateway to specify that all incoming connections on 5800 and 5900 be forwarded from rl0 to rl1? Am I gonna have to step up to IPFW (yuck!) ??

Read the man pages for natd and ipfw and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html for more information. The easiest way to reinitialize the system is to type shutdown now. This will drop you into single user mode. Press return when prompted for a shell. Hit Ctrl+D and the rc system will be run through and put you back into multi-user mode. Check for connectivity from the router and the Windows box. As a side note, you can delete the defaultrouter entry. That's for your FreeBSD box, not LAN clients. It's getting reset by dhclient when it gets lease information from your ISP's DHCP server anyway. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Port forwarding
Thanks for the reply.
I'm using the default 'rc.firewall' and in the /etc/rc.config I have it set
up to use OPEN.
From what I can tell, it looks like I'm passing everything by default...
here is a snip of the config (not all of the /etc/rc.firewall file, just the
OPEN parts)
[snip]
case ${firewall_type} in
[Oo][Pp][Ee][Nn]|[Cc][Ll][Ii][Ee][Nn][Tt])

'pass all from any to any' should do it right?

Jack,
What do our firewall rules look like? Is there a rule to allow
5122 traffic
into the outside interface?
Just a thought,

Hello,
I have been trying to get this working for days and am obviously doing
something wrong and was wondering if any Guru's out there could give a
little guidance. Basically I'm looking to run a game server behind a
FreeBSD firewall. Here is my setup:
{internet} - [public address] - Firewall - (internal address) Game
server
Lets say public address is 1.2.3.4 and private address is
192.168.17.25 port
is 5122
In the /etc/rc.conf I set the firewall policy to OPEN and
enabled natd, I
gave it the natd options of -f /etc/natd.conf... for ipnat I have that
set to NO (not sure what it does)
In the natd.conf file I have this:
redirect_port tcp 192.168.17.25:5122 5122
redirect_port udp 192.168.17.25:5122 5122
I restart natd and theatrically everything that hits 1.2.3.4 on port 5122
should be automatically redirected to 192.168.17.25 port 5122, right?
I have also tried this (since the public interface is aliases
(has more than
one public address associated with it)):
redirect_port tcp 192.168.17.25:5122 1.2.3.4:5122
redirect_port udp 192.168.17.25:5122 1.2.3.4:5122
Which doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas?
Regards,
Jack

New installation: Hanging when trying to dial out
Hi, folks, I've got a brand-new installation of FreeBSD and the next thing I want to do is upgrade from 4.6 (the CD I had) to 4.9 or 5.1. However, first I need to dial out, and there I'm having a problem. I've followed the instructions (I hope!) in Chapter 18 of the handbook, and whatever approach I take to dialing out, the box hangs--I can't even Alt-F3 to a new shell. This happens whether I'm using cu or trying a manual connection in ppp. When I do the latter, after I type term, I get the responses, but, after type '~?' for help, the keyboard stops responding. ~. doesn't get me out of it--nothing does. The box is an eMachines etower 600is and the modem is a Microcom Deskporte 28.8P. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All the best, John A ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
