xdmcp using gdm not working...
Hi! I've installed gnome 2.10 (as you know from my old post regarding the gnome power tools package). It works except for one thing... I've used xdm configured for xdmcp on my home LAN to connect from my Win box to FreeBSD. On the Win box I use Cygwin/X at it works fine... But now I've switched to gdm and it does not work anymore. I've enabled xdmcp in gdm.conf and made and verified the changes to hosts.allow. What happens is that it seems to open the connection but closes it instantly. I've tried about any setting I can change in Cygwin but I don't think the problem is there because I tried to use the chooser in gdm locally on the FreeBSD box and the same thing happens there... I've read gdm.conf a couple of times and Google'd to no avail... If I switch back to xdm it works again but I would like to use gdm... Any hints?

ipfilter problems
Two days ago I've switched the firewall on my FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE router from ipfw to ipfilter. The firewalls are not my speciality and ipfilter looked simplier way to do NAT with firewall, because it separates NAT rules from filtering rules. The router has two interfaces rl0 (192.168.0.254/24) and rl1 (82.137.64.106/29, 192.168.5.1/24, 10.1.6.2/24).

Re: Which mail server is the best for me?
My main complaint with qmail is that it's not very standard. The core of qmail hasn't been updated in a couple years (I think that's right, correct me if I'm wrong), so in order to update it or add functionality, you have to apply a bunch of patches from a bunch of sources.

It also seems to play better with spam and anti virus add ons. I don't want to start a religious war here, but, sendmail in my experience has been more about overthinking the plumbing, and really isint geared towards novices. In short, you will find that postfix documentation is more in english and sendmail is more in geek. Which is fine and dandy. Ultimately both scale about the same, as postfix can be dropped into a sendmail environment and quickly converted. Postfix is like sendmail, without the blood, sweat and tears. If you want to get up and running, with 10-20 users, with a minimum of fuss, and really solid, non arcane documentation, id go with postfix. It's a great project, well updated, well supported, and much lauded. I would *not* recommend sendmail to anyone supporting a low user amount, in my opinion, the time/trouble to fiddle with sendmail is not worth it. Period, end of story. =) But, again, that's just my $0.02. Dont take my word for it however, look at both http://www.sendmail.org and http://www.postfix.org. The documentation differences, and indeed, style in which its presented, alone should sell you on postfix. =) I have zero experience with qmail, so I can't comment on it. I know people who use it have good things to say about it. Including some of the web based administration of it. -- Duo Although the Buddhists will tell you that desire is the root of suffering, my personal experience leads me to point the finger at system administration. --Philip Greenspun ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ndis0 no carrier
Hi, on my Dell D800 with FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE I've managed to build and load the ndis modules, and gotten as far as the ndis0 device showing up on ifconfig. However, I can't seem to get a 'carrier tone', and the SSID doesn't stick. I actually have a DHCP server, so eventually I want to move the ifconfig-stuff to dhclient.conf but for now I just want to get the status to change for the device. Does anybody have a clue about what I'm missing or doing wrong here? dmesg ndis0: Dell TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card mem 0xfafec000-0xfafedfff irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci2 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:90:4b:62:47:92 ndis0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ifconfig ndis0 inet IP netmask 255.255.0.0 http://255.255.0.0 ssid SSID nwkey KEY channel 11 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists ifconfig ndis0 ndis0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::290:4bff:fe62:4792%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 ether 00:90:4b:62:47:92 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid channel 11 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit sysctl -a | grep ndis hw.ndis_filepath: /compat/ndis dev.ndis.0.%desc: Dell TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card dev.ndis.0.%driver: ndis dev.ndis.0.%location: slot=3 function=0 dev.ndis.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x14e4 device=0x4324 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x0001 class=0x028000 dev.ndis.0.%parent: pci2 dev.ndis.0.RoamDelta: 1 dev.ndis.0.MPC: 1 dev.ndis.0.RadioState: 0 dev.ndis.0.PowerSaveMode: 2 dev.ndis.0.PLCPHeader: 0 dev.ndis.0.frag: 2346 dev.ndis.0.rts: 2347 dev.ndis.0.NetworkAddress: dev.ndis.0.antdiv: -1 dev.ndis.0.BTCoexist: 1 dev.ndis.0.FrameBursting: 0 dev.ndis.0.Afterburner: 0 dev.ndis.0.gpio0: -1 dev.ndis.0.gpio1: -1 dev.ndis.0.gpio2: -1 dev.ndis.0.gpio3: -1 dev.ndis.0.EnableLEAP: 1 dev.ndis.0.Interference_Mode: -1 dev.ndis.0.ccx_rm: 1 dev.ndis.0.ccx_rm_limit: 300 dev.ndis.0.Country: US dev.ndis.0.Channel: 11 dev.ndis.0.WME: 0 dev.ndis.0.WZCCoexist: 0 dev.ndis.0.abcap: 1 dev.ndis.0.RoamTrigger: -70 dev.ndis.0.11HNetworks: 0 dev.ndis.0.IBSSGMode: 0 dev.ndis.0.IBSSGProtection: 2 dev.ndis.0.LegacyMode: 0 dev.ndis.0.band: 0 dev.ndis.0.BandPref: 0 dev.ndis.0.AssocRoamPref: 0 dev.ndis.0.RateA: 0 dev.ndis.0.Rate: 0 dev.ndis.0.ApCompatMode: 0 dev.ndis.0.10280001: Dell TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card dev.ndis.0.Environment: 1 dev.ndis.0.NdisVersion: 0x00050001 dev.ndis.0.BusType: 5 dev.ndis.0.InterruptNumber: 5 dev.ndis.0.ForcePIO: UNSET dev.ndis.0.NoRadio: UNSET dev.ndis.0.AdapterDesc: UNSET dev.ndis.0.DriverDesc: UNSET dev.ndis.0.Brand: UNSET dev.ndis.0.WPA: UNSET dev.ndis.0.IBSSLink: UNSET dev.ndis.0.PwrOut: UNSET dev.ndis.0.BadFramePreempt: UNSET dev.ndis.0.scan_channel_time: UNSET dev.ndis.0.scan_unassoc_time: UNSET dev.ndis.0.scan_home_time: UNSET dev.ndis.0.scan_passive_time: UNSET dev.ndis.0.scan_passes: UNSET dev.ndis.0.EnableAutoConnect: UNSET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
device_polling
I was building a new kernel today and came across an option I had not seen before. I googled some and concluded that options device_polling / options HZ=1000 would be a better way for my realtec network cards than the default interupt driven.. Is this correct?? Would it be better to have this polling in the kernel?

FreeBSD server behind router-NAT; how to configure sendmail?
Hi, My ISP provides me with a fixed IP address and a registered hostname. I use a Sitecom DC-207 that serves as a plain router, NAT and 4-port switch, to connect three Windows PCs and one FreeBSD PC simultaneously to the internet. The router gets the fixed IP address, whereas my FreeBSD system gets IP 192.168.123.1 with a fake hostname. The router is configured to redirect the usual TCP/IP server ports to the FreeBSD PC (e.g. ports 22, 25, 80 etc.), which makes the FreeBSD PC a kind of virtual server for my fixed IP address. One of the problems I encounter is this: Sendmail on the FreeBSD PC cannot deliver email, because there seems to be a DNS issue, because the FreeBSD PC does not have an official IP hostname. How do I configure my FreeBSD PC so, that sendmail thinks the PC has the official IP address/hostname provided by my ISP, which is actually used by the router? Or should I follow a different configuration scheme for achieving these goals? Thanks, Rob. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Personals - Better first dates.

Binary search to track down a problem
Hi! I am trying to track down a problem with my laptop which was introduced somewhere between the release of 5.2.1 and 5.3 most likely related to ACPI (the laptop does not shut itself off when running halt -p). Before complaining about the problem itself, I'd like to gather as much information as possible or maybe even fix it myself. Currently, I am trying to find out when exactly the problem started with a method others have described as the 'binary search aproach' in the past. I have set up a jail environment with make installworld DESTDIR=... and with sources checked out from CVS. Inside the jail, I rebuild world, install world, build the kernel and install the kernel (still inside the jail). Then, from the host system, I copy the kernel from the jail's root directory to /boot and reboot to see whether or not the problem still is there. Then, I delete /usr/src from the jail and checkout the sources from the appropriate date and do the full buildworld, installworld, buildkernel and installworld again. Since rebuilding world and kernel including the clean step takes an awful long time I am wondering if there is something I can do to speed things up a bit? I am not so much worried about going from older to newer sources since this case can be handled by following /usr/src/UPDATING closely but rather the other way around. I have tried to manually build and install /usr/sbin/config inside the jail with a 5.3-Stable world and then build the older 5.2.1 kernel only. However I ran into some make errors so I figured I will go the fail safe path but that path really annoys me due to its slowness.

Some kind of intranet update system for FreeBSD?
Hello! I know this has been brought up a number of times and I doubt that it is the right place to post to or even a right subject to raise, but still. It seems we lack some update system in FreeBSD. I have only 2 freebsd boxes, one serving as an internet gateway for the other. And whenever I want to update the latter one, I think about all the traffic that I'm gonna waste and CPU time to build and my own time to get some distros from one machine to another. I dream about a server running on my main machine, which gets queries from intranet freebsd boxes that want to be updated. The server negotiates with each client and acts as requested: 1.1) fetches a binary package, or 1.2) fetches a source package, or 1.3) finds a binary/source in its cache, and 2) builds a package if needed, and 3) gives binary/source to the client Is that so difficult? C'mon guys, just one step forward to perfection :) Very best wishes, Andrew P. P.S.: M$ SUS 1.x sucks so hard that I can't even find the right words to describe it.

To set up e-mail as God intended what you need in brief is A. A mail transport agent - sendmail OR postfix, (or exim or even qmail) but not both.

Lots of these to choose from, mutt or elm being old standbyes. C. Something to fetch the mail if you are using your ISP's pop3 server Fetchmail is good. D. Something to sort the mail - procmail is a good mail processor Coming in the process is something like:- Fetchmail - sendmail/postfix - procmail - mutt There are opportunities for filtering spam at different points in this chain.

Well, the short answer is: there is no keep state in the line pass in quick on rl0 all the dns reply you get back times out because your default rule is block and there is nowhere in the in rules for rl1 that allows the reply back. Some recomendations: 1) I have a bit of dificulty understanding your network setup - why do you have two private networks on your external interface? May scetch in a diagram. 2) Having default block can be done by adding the rules block in all block out all in the op of the ruleset rather than compile in the kernel. It makes it explicit. It also means that you can connect if no rules are pressent - this is usefull for installing while the machine is behind a gateway. Anyway, with your pass in all rules, you have almost effectively disabled the default block anyway. 2) For your security, in all pass rules, state from and to even if it is any it makes it more explicit. Split on protocols for security and control. 3) At least when setting up your firewall, use log in all block rules and enable ipmon, then you can see where your packets are blocked. 4) Use groups to structure your rules, and group them accordingly visually. It makes them easier to manage and for large rulesets optimises the firewall. 5) Always keep state! Doing so, all out rules only apply to the gateway itself, it makes the ruleset shorter and firewall faster. 6) You probably want to enable the ftp-proxy in your nat-rule and define which port-ranges are used for nat'ed connections. and a lot more you'll learn along the way :-) Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org S/MIME Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/2004071206.crt Subject ID: A9:76:7A:ED:06:95:2B:8D:48:97:CE:F2:3F:42:C8:F2:22:DE:4C:B9 Fingerprint: 4A:E8:63:38:46:F6:9A:5D:B4:DC:29:41:3F:62:D3:0A:73:25:67:C2 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Some kind of intranet update system for FreeBSD?
Andrew P. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I know this has been brought up a number of times and I doubt that it is the right place to post to or even a right subject to raise, but still. It seems we lack some update system in FreeBSD. I have only 2 freebsd boxes, one serving as an internet gateway for the other. And whenever I want to update the latter one, I think about all the traffic that I'm gonna waste and CPU time to build and my own time to get some distros from one machine to another. I dream about a server running on my main machine, which gets queries from intranet freebsd boxes that want to be updated. The server negotiates with each client and acts as requested: 1.1) fetches a binary package, or 1.2) fetches a source package, or 1.3) finds a binary/source in its cache, and 2) builds a package if needed, and 3) gives binary/source to the client Is that so difficult?

RE: 5.3 auto starting NFS by error
I think your missing the whole point. It's not suppose to be doing this. This is a release build error. In the 4.x releases the kernel had NFS support complied into the default kernel, but when you have no NFS statements in rc.conf those tasks in question are not auto spawned. Why would this behavior be changed in 5.3 to one that consumes resources. It has to be a mistake. If what you assert is true then when doing a source update to 5.3 why does these nfs tasks not auto spawn there. You assertion that its designed to work that way it just plain silly and only means you know not what you talk about.

This is not a configuration error on my part. This is how the 5.3 system gets installed for cd. This is a problem with how the sysinstall process configures the system. The GENERIC (i.e. default) kernel is configured to allow NFS client support, which means that the nfsiod kernel processes are spawned at boot time. If you don't want this, reconfigure your kernel to disable the NFS client support. Or don't, because the resource usage is negligible. Kris P.S. You're still top-posting.

Why would this behavior be changed in 5.3 to one that consumes resources. It has to be a mistake. No, it's just intentionally different behaviour (check the source code history). If you're really that concerned about the minuscule resource usage involved, then you'd surely want to build your own stripped down kernel anyway to remove the many other things in GENERIC that you don't need, together with NFS_CLIENT. If what you assert is true then when doing a source update to 5.3 why does these nfs tasks not auto spawn there. They do, if you have NFS_CLIENT enabled in your kernel.

Re: ATI RAGE Mobility [9700]
Any way to get an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 working with 3D acceleration ? Andrew Heyn wrote: I would like to state that at one point, I did get this to work. This was also a long time ago, when the patches mentioned in some of the proceeding links had to be done..

Note this from the Wiki: The DRM is shipped with the kernel, so you shouldn't need to build it. If you choose to, simply run make make install from the drm/bsd directory. This is contrary to the suggestion to install ports/graphics/drm. The building referred to above is within the X tree. The history to the mach64 dri support may be of interest: http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/news.html (already gave this link) You can always (if you are patient) contact anholt who is rather busy on freenode.net in #dri. Beware, I asked a question there, and fixed it myself before I got an answer. Hope this helps more than my other post. It still sucked pretty bad once I got DRI working with my mach64, but... It was better... Thanks!

IPFILTER and NFS
Howdy, Trying to get IPFILTER and NFS working. A google search didn't show much about my specific issue. With ipfilter working, nfs initially works, until someone tries to login. Then it stops working. With my firewall down on the NFS-CLIENT machine, it works fine. Any ideas?
