net-snmp and mrtg question
I have FreeBSD router with two interfaces. Every interface has several networks. The basic configuration of snmpd and mrtg allow me to monitor the load only on per-interface basis, but I need to be able to monitor the traffic on each network separately. Is there a way to do it via net-snmp / mrtg? Are there orther tools with output similar to mrtg (prefferably the same), which can do this?

what application is needed to open a video streaming site
Hi, I like viewing the streaming videos in this site [ http://nextsteps.org/video/] using WinXP/Windows Media Player. But, now I have to shift to FreeBSD-5.3 and I would still want to view these educational streaming videos. I know mplayer, xmms, kaboodle, etc. which are the multimedia players in FreeBSD/KDE environment. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to open streaming videos using FreeBSD-5.3 and KDE-3.xdesktop? I saw that the file extension is .wvx which is a Windows Media Audio/Video shortcut. Is there an application in FreeBSD that can open such audio/video format? Also, if I need to view real player format of streaming video, what program do I need to install in FreeBSD?

BIND 9 on a dynamic ip address
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I am hoping to set up a DNS server for my home network just for the sake of learning BIND. Unfortunately, I have a PPPoE connects (wireless broadband) with a dynamic ip address. At the moment, I use dyndns just so I have a hostname and I would like to keep using dyndns. All I am looking to do is to use bind for hosts in my network and have a local dns cache. I do not plan on pointing any domains to my nameservers. Would this be possible?

Configure BIND to listen on it and the dynamic address you get to use internet won't bother anyone (even BIND itself). On the other hand, configuring a DNS server listening on a dynamic IP address is a really bad idea.

Re: How can I log every login via telnet?

I've tried this and I've obtained weird results.
Supposedly login stops at the first match in the login.access file. So
I used this:
+:ALL:console
+:ALL:LOCAL
+:xxx yyy:ALL EXCEPT 216.134.77.112 161.13.67.41
-:ALL:ALL
The idea is to prohibit any logins from anywhere except the LAN and
console for all users except xxx and yyy (and even for those two logins
are not accepted from two specific IP addresses). But as soon as I add
the -:ALL:ALL at the end, logins are disallowed for everyone except xxx
and yyy, even on the LAN, and even with ssh. I'm perplexed.
Anthony,
If you are using ipfw, you could do something like this:
# Allow in only a few Telnet, SFTP, SSH, and SCP from public Internet
${fwcmd} add 090 pass log tcp from 161.13.67.41,216.134.77.112 to ${ip}
23 setup limit src-addr 5
What this does is allow the above mentioned in from the above mentioned
IP's - THEN, only allows a connection of 5.
Something to think about if you run the firewall. To the rest of the
outside, users will get dead space if they try to telnet in.

Chris
If opportunity came disguised as temptation,

Re: Having problems with user PPP to private network in 5.4-STABLE
Has there been a change in user-ppp or general networking behaviour between 4.* and 5-STABLE which might explain why I can't talk to a private network's PPP server from a 5.4 machine when I can from a 4.11 machine using the same ppp.conf etc? I can connect and all looks fine WRT routing and ifconfig etc. but I can't even ping the machine at the far enf of the PPP link. I can connect to and use a real ISP, so the modem seems to be fine. I was connecting to this private network from here using this modem and this ppp.config on a 4.8 machine on friday, and can connect now from a 4.11 machine. The only vaguely interesting things about the connection are that I am using a USB-serial adapter to hook up the modem, and that the remote network uses non-routable addresses in 192.168.16.0/24 and hands me 192.168.16.104 as my address. Is something defaulting to blocking communication with non-routable addresses in 5.*? I have added an ipfw rule to log all packets in and out down tun0 and the ping packets seem to go but nothing comes back. So it looks like the problem is at the PPP level or below. Eventually the modem connection jams up, looks like the problem discussed recently on the freebsd-usb list WRT USB-serial converters. However, given that I can dial an ISP and talk to web sites etc. I presume that is not the actual show-stopper. Here are some relevent settings as they appear after I connect, there are other interfaces and routes, but I think they are irrelevent. smurf/~# ifconfig [...] tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.16.104 -- 192.168.16.7 netmask 0x Opened by PID 3939 [...] smurf/~# netstat -nr Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default82.41.210.1UGS 130778rl1 [...] 192.168.16 192.168.16.7 UGS 00 tun0 192.168.16.7 192.168.16.104 UH 10 tun0 [...] -- Mail me as [EMAIL PROTECTED]_O_ | ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5.4 vinum
Greetings, Has anyone been successful creating new vinum volume configurations or dropping old configurations on FreeBSD-5.4 pre-releases? AFAIK the old vinum does not work properly. At least it keeps complaining me about problems. Additionally gvinum which has been reported as a supported replacement for the old vinum does not work either. The latter seems to even be missing support for many of the commands mentioned in man vinum. E.g. dumpconfig, info, and resetconfig do not work. To make the pain really hurt there is no man page for gvinum. Obvious enough, replacing old systems which have been running 4.x with the old perfectly functional vinum, has become very hard. (OTOH things like ath, ehci, etc. are only available in 5.x.) The upgrade should be created on fresh hard drives and the drives replaced when the new installation is ready. So, it is vitally important to be able to create and drop configurations for vinum before the upgrade can proceed. If anyone has an operational 5.4 + vinum installation which was generated fresh on 5.3 or 5.4, any experiences, sample configurations, and notes about the how the installation was really done would be more than welcome.

Connect to Cisco VPN server from FreeBSD?
Hi all, As in the subject - has anyone managed to get a FreeBSD machine to connect to a Cisco VPN server, using IPSec and 2-factor authentication (password + SecurID card)? My employer has been acquired by another company, and this will soon be the only remote-access method available. Linux client software exists, but given that it relies on a kernel module I'm not holding out much hope of it working. The security/vpnc port looks like it might be useful. No idea if racoon + FreeBSD native IPSec can be persuaded to do the SecurID authentication. I would try all these things myself, except I don't have any account details for the server yet. I really don't want to keep a Linux or Windows machine around just to connect to the office...

I haven't tested this version of the patch myself but it at least compiles.

You must have 'options SC_PIXEL_MODE' in your kernel config. You also need to have VESA available - you can load it with kldload vesa or include it in the kernel with 'options VESA'. After reboot with the new kernel you should be able to get list of all VESA and standard modes your card support with 'vidcontrol -i mode'. To be able to use them as your console mode you need to have the appropriate font loaded. The font resolution is seen in vidcontrol output in the 'font' column. To load the font 8x8 you can use 'vidcontrol -f /usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp437-8x8.fnt' or similar. To set the mode use 'vidcontrol MODE_$num' where $num is the mode number (first column in 'vidcontrol -i mode' output). HTH Michal I feel like I am missing a lot here.

Now that I see that it is perhaps not required for my system, that is not a laptop, is it possible that I don't need this at all? Is it definitely needed to support 132 character terminal mode, or is just needed for laptops? There's no standard VGA 132 character text mode. It's either provided by VESA or emulated using some graphics mode. Newer graphics hardware stopped supporting extended text modes. If you want such modes you need to emulate them (render the characters using lots of small dots instead of just writing characters to the adapter which renders them for you). Support for this functionality is included in syscons/vga driver when you define options SC_PIXEL_MODE. Standard FreeBSD supports only planar graphics mode 800x600 dots with 4 bits (16) of color information per pixel which can be run on old plain VGA with 256KB of memory. The patches we are talking about add support for rendering the characters in any graphics mode your card supports (through VESA) with = 15 bits per pixel. You could then run say 1600x1200x32 bpp (16milions of colours) for a text mode console. You can't use any graphics there but the textual resolution will be bigger. There also isn't support for using simultaneously more than 16 (or is it 15?) different colors for characters even when milions are technically possible.

debuging options in FBSD-5.x
Hello every fellow freebsd user. I've been browsing the handbook and I can't quite catch how to make an fully debugging 5.x kernel so that whenever I need to post an pr/bug it actuallty contains useful information for the bughunters. is the makeoptions DEBUG=-g enough? Or should the kernel be configured with addition options so an memory dump etc. would be available? What kernel-tunings and config changes are needed to be completely sure to catch an kernel crash and record useful information? At the moment I'm running an Freebsd CVS STABLE-5.4 from 08.april.2005 At the moment I have an very nasty nfs vs ata-sleep/idle kernel panic that reared it's ugly head after upgrading to STABLE-5 from RELEASE-5.2.1. I'l post more about this one after I've gotten an kernel running with all debuging enabled. After all, it's practically useless to post an PR without any debugging available. PS. As I'm not an regular subscriber to the mailinglist, I would like to get any replies cc'ed to me personally.

Note: if efax answer is running on /dev/ttyXX from /etc/inittab, it may be necessary to disable efax answer for the lpadmin command, but only to install the fax printer, (apparently, lpadmin doesn't like other things listening on its serial printer ports when it installs the printer.) If you use efax or hylafax for incoming, enable MIME e-mailing of the fax to a faxmaster, who distributes the file to the appropriate machine-its default for hylafax. For efax, configure /etc/efax.rc and /usr/bin/fax, (these are some script changes,) to send the fax attachment as a postscript file so they can be read with gv/ghostscript, (which probably came with your cups installation.) The efax/tiff file formats come out half size if a low resolution fax is received, which is corrected if postscript is used. Recommendation: YMMV, but hylafax is a bit difficult to configure, but is very robust once running; efax is probably preferable for non-industrial strength applications. FWIW ...

The disadvantage is that you need to provide around 4 times as much disk space for a DB-based mailstore as you would for a normal mbox/maildir style representation, you need to provide a lot more server horsepower, you need to continuously maintain and purge old mail from the database, and you end up with your mail buried in database tables, so heaven help you if the database becomes inconsistent and you need to recover. Whereas you can repair mbox-files with your favorite editor and employ pretty much the same level of fancy searching with a couple of scripts. But as for increased storage requirements, I've always wondered how much could be saved by an intelligent method of behind-the-scenes handling of quoting among messages in a thread. Goodness knows half the mail on a lot of lists, and even in a lot of personal mail streams, is simply copies of some or all of other messages, perhaps shifted over by quote signs like `' etc. Seems to me a system could be devised to store directions for rebuilding a message instead of the message itself with all quoting intact. Basically, you could just kill any quotechar, trim headers and store the threads as incremental diffs. You could squeeze redundancy a bit more, but then you'll cry if some bug decides to eat a byte or two. ;) but I wouldn't be surprised if it could reverse the increased storage requirements you mention. Probably. What's the gain in all that, though? The mbox-format is simple enough[1], you can just build something to suit your needs in your favorite scripting language. Personally, I'd just build three scripts for that: - The first to interactively insert some headers from within my MUA (mutt, in this instance), i.e. 'X-Archive-Keywords: ' and 'X-Archive-Location: '. - The second to (as a cron-job) i) extract mails from mbox files ii) move them into some kind of archive directory tree (based on the above -location-header, i.e. $TREEBASE/$LOCATION) and iii) store interesting headers inside a DB. - The third for searching and cat(1)ing results to stdout (which in turn is nothing but a new mbox-file). The hard part about this is integrating it into $MUA, but there might be some hook around for that. Actually looks like a perfect mini-project to learn a new language with. ;) Cheers. Mario [1]: IIRC: the header of a mail starts with /^From / and terminates with /^$/ and the other way around for the body of a mail.

The redirect message usually implies an error in the network setup of your machines which would have to be handled by a human being changing the configuration. If you want to handle this in a more clever way than a cron job you could write a small daemon which reads routing messages and does the right thing for whatever your situation is.

Re: Very slow printing with stock FreeBSD5.3 + CUPS + Gimp-Print + HPDeskJet612C
Thank you for your reply, When I installed CUPS (make make install), it defaulted to ghostscript-gnu-7.07_12. After that, I installed Gimp-print. To get the printer working, I used the web-based admin system (http://localhost:631) and chose the 600/600c series printer drivers (CUPS+Gimp-Print). This resulted in retardedly-slow prints. After posting the email, I then tried the HP DeskJet 600/600C - CUPS+Gimp-Print drivers and it has the same problem. I do not see any other options to choose for this printer in the dialogue I am given. Are you suggesting that CUPS should use ESP Ghostscript as opposed to the one it defaults to? If so, how do I go about doing this? I have not installed any PPDs manually (I relied on Gimp-Print). Maybe, make sure you installed the correct driver-there are two; a high resolution, (something like 3K dots per inch, and it will only do 3K dots per inch, which makes it very slow,) and a driver that uses the CUPS specific version of ghostscript, ESP ghostscript, (the other drivers require all of gimp-print to be installed.)

Re: route entries after ICMP redirect
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you want to handle this in a more clever way than a cron job you could write a small daemon which reads routing messages and does the right thing for whatever your situation is. I've explore a code and found I can do quite easy addition for dynamic routes - fill an expire field, check it periodicaly and remove expired entries (just like for arp entries). I think to do a sysctl variable for indication what time will set as expire values and set it to zero by default (no expires). -- Sem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
