The story is that the first time I installed samba I
enabled it in my /etc/rc.conf writting 


echo  smbd  /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D
echo  nmbd  /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D  
 

This is incorrect way to start daemons. You need read manual page for 
rc.conf.


What is last mail with abort trap you got?

Re: samba question

2005-10-24 Thread spen

I have already changed the way to enable samba on the
machine. I do not use this in rc.conf 
echo  smbd  /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D
echo  nmbd  /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D 

but simply:

#enable samba
samba_enable=YES

the last message was the one I posted. Fortunatelly I
haven't got any mail since then, so I guess things are
OK.  Do you think the whole problem was on those two
lines above that I used to have in my rc.conf? 

i'll include the last mail I got for abort trap:

Samba doesn't care about inetd.

Adding samba_enable=YES to rc.conf is sufficient. (assuming you 
built samba from ports)

You _dont need_ inetd for Samba, moreover, inetd will degrade Samba 
performance, and AFAIK is not recommeded by Samba team .

It is the 2nd time in a month the server has crashed the first time it
rebooted on its own
so I didn't get the error, but this time I had to power cycle it.

The server is a Dual 800MHz intel box with 1.5GB RAM and 4*36GB RAID SCSI disks,
It generally is not under much load.

Whats the best thing todo? debugging kernel etc or just upgrade to 5.4?

dmesg shows no output

2005-10-24 Thread Deepak Naidu
Hi,

   I just checked today, that when executing dmesg
command, I didnt get any output ie no logs.  And more
over even if I stop and start /etc/rc.d/dmesg
the /var/run/dmesg.boot is deleted and not inputted
with new logs.

I just want to know, whether someone has hacked my
system or ? is dmesg not giving any output.

I hope some can help me out in this issue.

Cheers,

tun/tap and qemu

2005-10-24 Thread dick hoogendijk
Qemu uses user-net network stack if NO tun/tap network init script is
found. The example on their website is about linux.

When I use user-net all works very fine, but my virtual machine is
outside my intranet domain. It gets an 10.0.2.x IP As I understand,
using tun/tap gives me the opportunity to use a virtual card that I can
assign an ip like 192.168.11.x That way my virtual machine becomes a
member of that 192.168.11 local network (more like vmware does).

What I did was put the tun0 device in devfs.conf (usr:root:xxx);
perm:660) The device is created under /dev (shouldn't this
be /dev/net ?) But where and how comes the initscript into being?
If I ifconfig tun0 in rc.conf only one extra ip gets assigned.

Can someone shine some light on this matter?

If tun/tap is difficult or not adviced, how can I make my 10.0.0.x
machines show themselves on my mail 192.168.11.xx network?

I have in /boot/loader.conf
#
# this is required my qemu
#
kqemu_load=YES
if_tap_load=YES

and qemu must be started as 'root' to bring up the interface
with a script /etc/qemu-ifup:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig $1 172.20.0.1

I'm launching the VM via an icon on the desktop which itself
launches a script /home/guru/qemu/w2k/qemu.sh to make it
easy to see if qemu could boot up from some saved state or
has to boot the guest OS from scratch (normaly I save the
VM into a file 'ram', which is of course a little bit dangerous
because you are 'root'; but I'm the only person on my laptop and
mostly I know what I do :-)):


#!/bin/sh

test `id -u` -ne 0  {
echo must be started by root ; exit
}

cd /home/guru/qemu/w2k

# we must decide to reboot from disk or loadvm from last saved ram
#
test -f .laststart || {
logger -t $0 no file .laststart -- can't start, exit
exit 1
}
if [ .laststart -nt ram ]; then
touch .laststart
qemu -localtime disk
else
touch .laststart
qemu -localtime -loadvm ram disk
fi


my VM contacts the FreeBSD Samba share and printers via the
IP net 172.20.0.x and for having access to the rest of the world
I have NAT configured ... all works very nice and so I can run
our Windows applications on top of FreeBSD

On FreeBSD qemu uses tap device. Just patch
/usr/src/sys/net/if_tap.c for non-root access, then recompile it and
load if_tap module.

Make sure /dev/tap* have correct permissions

Re: default routing question ZIPB ADSL PPPoA

2005-10-24 Thread Lowell Gilbert
Ahnjoan Amous [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 The short : I believe the problem I am having is due to routing. A DHCP
 server sends me IP A.B.C.D with a default route of A.B.C.D. dhclient isn't
 handling this well and I don't know how to fix it. Windows as well as Linux
 DHCP clients do not have a problem with this and I am at my wits end trying
 to figure out what combination of route commands will fix my issue.
 
 The long : I have a CellPipe ADSL router/bridge from Lucent. This device is
 provided by our ISP. I am exploring the ZIPB functionality of the device to
 allow my FreeBSD host to own the public IP. The basics of the configuration
 for those unfamiliar is as follows. PPPoA is established by the device and
 the the (public) IP acquired through the previous process is delivered to a
 host behind that CellPipe via DHCP. After DHCP the device acts as a
 bridge, allowing the internal device to use the public IP as its own. I'm
 sure this description is vague but I don't know any other way to explain.
 
 Info : After dhclient acquires its info the ethernet interface looks like
 this
 ifconfig ethernet interface √ inet A.B.C.D netmask
 255.255.255.255http://255.255.255.255/
 
 When I connect a windows or Linux host they seem to treat the interface as
 the default route and work as expected. With FreeBSD I have tried removing
 all routes for the device after assignment, and then adding default route
 based on -interface flag for route command. I have also tried opening up the
 netmask on the ethernet interface and adding a default route destined for
 what I know the PPPoA connections end point is.
 
 Nothing I have tried seems to work. I don't consider myself an expert by any
 means but this is clearly beyond my knowledge.
 
 I'm happy to provide any information you need it you have an idea.

Sounds like it's really an unnumbered interface.
Did you try the -iface option to route(8)?

Open Sound System on FreeBSD 6 RC1

2005-10-24 Thread Nick J. Date
Hiya!

I've just upgraded my FreeBSD installation from 5.4-RELEASE to
6.0-RC1. With 5.4 I learnt that my sound card (SoundBlaster Live!
24-bit) wasn't supported by the drivers that come with FreeBSD, so I was
using the free version of the Open Sound System (www.opensound.com)
drivers.

On installing 6.0-RC1, I didn't want to take any chances so I downloaded
the OSS drivers again (selecting 6.0-RC1 as my operating system this
time). The installation and sound tests completed fine and I could hear
music being played. However, although the driver now loads on startup,
it doesn't load any sort of mixer support and the device /dev/mixer
doesn't exist. Even attempting to load OSS's own mixer software reports
that /dev/mixer is non-existant. A re-install doesn't help and I can't
find any option in the set up program that might make the mixer work.

Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so does anyone know of a
solution?

Anyway, if anyone could give me a hand or point me in the right
direction it would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Nick.

I installed a2ps-a4-4.13b_3, but it does not work when using with -P
display.
First i had to correct 2 errors in /usr/local/etc/a2ps.cfg:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [/usr/local/etc] # diff a2ps.cfg a2ps.cfg~
194c194
 Variable: ghostview gv --antialias --arguments -dNOPLATFONTS
---
 Variable: ghostview gv -antialias -arguments -dNOPLATFONTS

Still, gv does not show any pages. Any ideas what else could be wrong?

5.4-RELEASE-p8, ports are current.

Cheers,
Heinrich

  Hiya!
 
  I've just upgraded my FreeBSD installation from 5.4-RELEASE to
  6.0-RC1. With 5.4 I learnt that my sound card (SoundBlaster Live!
  24-bit) wasn't supported by the drivers that come with FreeBSD, so I was
  using the free version of the Open Sound System (www.opensound.com)
  drivers.
 
  On installing 6.0-RC1, I didn't want to take any chances so I downloaded
  the OSS drivers again (selecting 6.0-RC1 as my operating system this
  time). The installation and sound tests completed fine and I could hear
  music being played. However, although the driver now loads on startup,
  it doesn't load any sort of mixer support and the device /dev/mixer
  doesn't exist. Even attempting to load OSS's own mixer software reports
  that /dev/mixer is non-existant. A re-install doesn't help and I can't
  find any option in the set up program that might make the mixer work.
 
  Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so does anyone know of a
  solution?
 
  Anyway, if anyone could give me a hand or point me in the right
  direction it would be highly appreciated.
 
  Kind regards,

Actually, apart from editing devfs.conf as per my
advice in the topic, I've got a startup script,
/root/oss.sh, containing these:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/lib/oss/bin/soundon
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart

and a line in /etc/crontab:

I am thinking about writing a port, but still only

Backing up postgresql data

I've got postgresql 8 running on my system, and want to do nightly
backups of the database.  I took a look at the docs, and there are a
few methods of doing backups - pg_dump, file system level, and using
WAL.  I just want to be able to rsync my data every night, maybe every
few hours, so that I can recover it if there are any problems...so
what's the best way to do this.  Are there any scripts or utilities

VMware exports a virtual video device if I remember correctly. I'd try

otherwise it .ko should be located in /kernel/modules.

I have found out that only the FIRST user that starts QEMU on ht

So, how come the device kqemu is not freed after I close the qemu

Is there a solution I have overlooked to overcome this problem?

I looked into the user and kqemu online dox but can't find a thing

 Sort of.  At one point, you could set the sticky bit on files as a hint to
 the pager to try and keep them in memory, which was intended for things
 like /bin/sh, cron, login, and maybe libc.

aah.. I always wondered what the sticky bit actually did..


 Whether it would help in your particular case is harder to say, how much
 RAM does your machine have, and what kind of CPU?  Some people believe that
 KDE requires excessive resources for what it does, consider fluxbox or
 something more lightweight...

No problem when when it comes to resources.. ( I have an ordinary x86 2,6 GHz 
Celeron CPU and 768 mb DDR RAM ) 
I tried fluxbox once.. didn't like it though.. but that's just a matter of 
taste.. just thought I'd try KDE as a change as I've previously only used 
wm's like EvilWM, LWM, TWM an Co.. 
.. so, there isn't a program that doesn't do anything but load a shared object 
into memory and then close? .. 
hm.. if all it takes is to call open() for a sticky-bit file to stay in 
memory, I'd gladly write that program myself :-)

Are your databases very large or extremely active?  If not, a nightly
pg_dump (or pg_dumpall) should suffice.  I've found the combination of
PostgreSQL and FreeBSD to be very stable.

If you need more frequent backups, you might consider one of
the replication solutions for PostgreSQL.  Here are links to a couple of
them that I found at PgFoundry:

http://pgfoundry.org/projects/slony1/
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgpool/

I haven't used any of the replication solutions.  Hopefully, someone
else will chime in with additional information/advice.

Best of luck,

Hello Pat,

Just advice from another user -- I always used the dump facility and
have restored the data successfully using this method. Thge only
glitch that I can ever recall was self-inflicted as I upgraded the DB
and then the data couldn't be directly restored. That was a while ago
and my memory may not be perfect on that detail.

jdk15 without having to install X Windows?

2005-10-24 Thread Nick Triantos

Hi,

I'm trying to install JDK15 (from ports: java/jdk15) on a server that 
does not have X Windows installed.  It appears from the Makefile that 
Java is dependent upon OpenMotif, which in turn is dependent upon a 
bunch of X client libs.


Does anyone have experience with installing Java without any X windows 
support?  I'd like the keep the number of installed packages on this 
server to a bare minimum.


thanks,
-Nick

traffic accounting per username with ipfw in 5.4 ?

2005-10-24 Thread user

I remember that ipfw had been augmented some time ago to do traffic
counting, etc., based on usernames ... but I see no mention of that in the
ipfw man page on my 5.4-RELEASE system.

Is this something that only exists in IPFW2 ?  Does ipfw2 even exist
anymore ?

Can someone clarify for me what is going on with regard to what used to be
called IPFW2, FreeBSD 5.x, and per-user traffic counting ?

thanks.

Carp and Apache

2005-10-24 Thread DAve

Good afternoon,

This might be a stupid question, but that never stopped me before ;^) 
I've been watching CARP and now that it is in 5.4 I would like to give 
it a try but I am not able to find much information outside of using it 
with PF.


I am curious how apache should be setup. Where httpd.conf requires an IP 
for named based hosting, should the httpd.conf contain the IP of the 
interface or the IP configured with CARP? I believe the carp interface 
is configured directly on top of the physical interface.


That question in mind, am I completely off track here? I currently have

ifconfig_em0=inet 10.0.240.140 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig_em1=inet 10.0.241.140 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig_em1_alias0=inet 10.0.241.143 netmask 0x
ifconfig_em1_alias1=inet 10.0.241.144 netmask 0x
ifconfig_em1_alias2=inet 10.0.241.145 netmask 0x
ifconfig_em1_alias3=inet 10.0.241.146 netmask 0x
defaultrouter=10.0.241.1

So from what I have read, simply adding the below should get me setup, 
providing that this is the rc.conf from the master


ifconfig carp0 create
ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 pass sdf899734h 10.0.241.140/24
ifconfig carp1 create
ifconfig carp1 vhid 1 pass sdf899734h 10.0.241.143/24
ifconfig carp2 create
ifconfig carp2 vhid 1 pass sdf899734h 10.0.241.144/24
ifconfig carp3 create
ifconfig carp3 vhid 1 pass sdf899734h 10.0.241.145/24
ifconfig carp4 create
ifconfig carp4 vhid 1 pass sdf899734h 10.0.241.146/24

Thanks,

DAve

Re: extending volumes [ was growfs + stripes]

2005-10-24 Thread Dimitar Vasilev
2005/10/24, Joerg Wunsch [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Nope.  Extending a striped volume by another stripe is impossible in
 about any system I've seen so far.  (Extending a striped volume by
 concatenating another set of stripes is something different, and I
 guess GEOM's architecture would allow for that.)

 Extending file systems is something different.  AIX can do it, yes,
 and can even shrink them (which is much more work), albeit it might
 take forever, depending on the load.  Solaris' growfs isn't that much
 more capable than FreeBSD's growfs is, except Solaris has got the
 lockfs(2) syscall so they can grow a filesystem online, while FreeBSD
 requires the filesystem to be unmounted.  Solaris with vxfs is about
 the same as AIX is (but you gotta pay a lot of bucks for that).

 I think vinum could be tricked into extending a stripe set by another
 stripe set (so a concetanation will result), but I'm not sure about
 it, and would generally be very careful with that.  (Not sure about
 gvinum here, perhaps it can do it as well.)  But that doesn't seem to
 be Dimitar's intention.  See above, inserting another stripe row will
 completely change the topology, so the file system on top of the
 volume will become invalid.

 (I've seen a feature like that being announced in some hardware RAID
 array quite some time ago, but when we tried, it took forever due to
 the massive amount of copy operations needed, and then it crashed
 anyway.)

 ISTR someone once analyzed that striping doesn't make much sense with
 modern UFSes at all, as the UFS itself distributes the data already
 well enough, so a concatenation yields the same overall performance.
 Concetanetions are way easier to handle in any respect, and see above,
 once you've added something to the concat, you could use growfs to
 tell the file system to pick up the volume's new size.  I've done this
 a number of times with FreeBSD (albeit with [g]vinum-based volumes),
 but I've also seen it fail occasionally. :-/  But then, I've also
 seen Solaris' growfs getting stuck, and trashing a volume, as well
 as vxvm trashing several hundred Megabytes of data.  To quote a
 signature my colleague is using: ``Failure is not an option.  It comes
 bundled with the software.''
Thanks Joerg!
I prefer keeping corporate toys away from my FreeBSD.
They tend to be intolerant and shape everything in their way.
Google just showed it is possible. With large data and no means of
backup one should become careful.
It's nice that these whole discussions will help someone else
searching for such a solution.
As previously mentioned, we have a resource and 99% will use it to
make a new stripe and
move the data there with loop back rsync. We will have a closed
discussion again soon, as the time to act will come very soon.
With 0,5TB for FTP we will be serving it for about a year.
Then I'm planning to enlarge the storage again and bring also spare
disks for bzipped backups.
To be honest, the real fuss is about that I'm taking up a project that
will require frequent travelling and will be near the ftp-master in
Brno.
I  won't have the same free time as now to commit to the mirror -
especially for hardware upgrades, that's why I tend to pour disks
until happy.
The effort  is  to concentrate the admin team  on common tasks, not on
rebooting every 2-3 months for an upgrade.
On the other side, I will be close to Rudolf and can be held
personally accountable ;-)
Apologies for the personal off topic, but I'm excited about all this
big coincidence.
Regards,

Thanks - I was searching for username and getting nowhere.  Also, thank
you for the clarification regarding ipfw2/ipfw and their current state.

I notice that the traffic accounting per uid only applies to traffic
initiated by that user, and initiated from the local machine.  If I scp a
file away from the machine (as user X) the traffic does not get
incremented, and if I scp a file to the local machine (as user X) it also
does not get incremented - even though those are non-anonymous actions
that occur under the auspices of a particular username.

Doe anyone have any suggestions for traffic accounting (of particularly
ssh traffic) on a per user basis, for _all_ traffic that occurs under the
auspices of that username, and not just what _they themselves_ initiate,
personally, in their own login shell ?

Thank you.

i get stuck installing kernel

2005-10-24 Thread Linnea Forslund
So I learned that in order to fix direct rendering to run mixxx, as
I've been asking about before, I need to fix a driver for my card,
maybe this http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-7676.html

And in order to install that i first need to have kernel source tree
in /usr/src/sys (package 'ssys' installed) and sinsce I had nothing
in /usr/src/sys I did as it said in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html
and started sysinstall.

I do this: choosing Configure, then Distributions, then src, then
sys And when I chose ok to the last one I get back to the previous
and when choosing ok to that one again it asks where I wan't to
install it from and I choose ftp and Sweden. There is a message asking
running multiuser, assume network has already been configured? I say
yes, since I don't know what it's about. Then it waits for a looong
time saying it's logging in, but it doesn't connect.

What have I done wrong? What can I do? I have two more days to fix
everything... please help!

updating in single-user mode

2005-10-24 Thread John DeStefano
When updating world, section 20.4.5 of the handbook calls for dropping
to single user mode.  The reasons given for this make sense.  But this
is a problem for me: my BSD server does not have a local K/V/M setup
connected directly to it; it sits on my network and I connect to it
via PuTTy for administration.

Is there a way to achieve single-user mode while still being able to
connect remotely (via LAN)?  (I know that's something of an oximoron,
but I needed to ask)  And if not, am I losing any serious
features/functionality of the update process by _not_ dropping into
single user?

Thanks,
~John

Is this machine connected to a working internet connection?  The  
dialog you are talking about has noticed that your computer is not  
running in single-user mode, but rather in multi-user mode.   
Typically, systems running multi-user are configured for network and/

sendmail/mailertable question

2005-10-24 Thread stan
I'm trying to get sendmail to do something that I think it should be
able to do, but I can't quite get working.

I have a machine that hosts several virtual domains. The domains
have wildcarded DNS records.

I want mail recived for say [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get passed
on downstream like that without striping out the listmaint part.
I think I can do this with mailertable.

Get rid of the hash -o in your mailertable line, too.  Your DNS  
wildcard MX records are telling sendmail that the mail should go to  
prod1.ivo.net:


;; QUERY SECTION:
;;  listmaint.samp.ivosite.com, type = MX, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
listmaint.samp.ivosite.com.  1H IN MX  10 prod1.ivo.net.

If you want to disable DNS canonification, do something like this in  
your mailertable:


listmaint.samp.ivosite.comsmtp:[IP_of_real_MX]

...where IP_of_real_MX if the IP address of the machine which is  
supposed to actually handle the mail for that machine, and is  
different from prod1.ivo.net.  You can't fool your wildcard DNS  
record otherwise, because even if you try, remote SMTP hosts will  
look up the MX anyway.


This is also why the usage of wildcard MX records is highly discouraged.

 wildcard MX records are telling sendmail that the mail should go to  
 prod1.ivo.net:

Just the -o part, right? 
 
 ;; QUERY SECTION:
 ;;  listmaint.samp.ivosite.com, type = MX, class = IN
 
 ;; ANSWER SECTION:
 listmaint.samp.ivosite.com.  1H IN MX  10 prod1.ivo.net.
 
 If you want to disable DNS canonification, do something like this in  
 your mailertable:
 
 listmaint.samp.ivosite.comsmtp:[IP_of_real_MX]
 
 ...where IP_of_real_MX if the IP address of the machine which is  
 supposed to actually handle the mail for that machine, and is  
 different from prod1.ivo.net.  You can't fool your wildcard DNS  
 record otherwise, because even if you try, remote SMTP hosts will  
 look up the MX anyway.

But it's _not_ different than prod1. I just want sendmail to pass
the  ucanonified name on to the downstream processing (think
procmail) so that it's easy for automated downstream processing
to handle it.

Sorry if I was not clear in the original message.

Re: updating in single-user mode

 When updating world, section 20.4.5 of the handbook calls for dropping

 Is there a way to achieve single-user mode while still being able to

I don't reccommend doing installworld or kernel in multiuser, but I have never 
had any problems doing it on a lightly loaded machine. With that said what 
could bite you is your new kernel not booting or something broken in 
userland. You will then need console access (serial or local) to fix it. I 
would set up your machine with serial console access and use a laptop or 
another machine when you reboot.

Re: How do I name my network interface?

2005-10-24 Thread Teo De Las Heras
I have a similar problem with a DFI LanParty Ultra-D with two gigabit
on-board NIC's. I DONT see any 'ethernet' subclass devices listed other than
the one I have working. Is it simply not supported by the Kernel?

The machine in question is dual-booting (with windows), so I can see that
the driver for the card that isn't working is NVIDIA.

Yes.

If you want to disable DNS canonification, do something like this in

If this mail is going to be delivered locally, then you ought to add 
listmaint.samp.ivosite.com to class w, perhaps via the file 
/etc/mail/local-host-names.


-

You might want to use MASQUERADE_EXCEPTION(), as in:

FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`example.com')dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`example.com')dnl
MASQUERADE_EXCEPTION(`www.example.com')dnl
MASQUERADE_EXCEPTION(`public.example.com')dnl
MASQUERADE_EXCEPTION(`private.example.com')dnl

Sendmail will re-write the hostname for anything matching *.example.com, 
_except_ for www.example.com, public.example.com, as explicitly listed.


And you either need to list www.example.com in class w (aka the 
local-host-names file), or you need to specify a mailertable entry using square 
brackets to send the mail to some other server which will perform local 
delivery for that hostname.

Qwest DLS MSN Premium Linksys Router FreeBSD.. Oh my

2005-10-24 Thread Kris Anderson
Hey folks,

I'm getting off cable (Comcast and 6 megabits) and
either looking at Qwest DSL w/MSN premium or a service
called Clear Wire (Wireless internet).

I'm a bit baffled because Qwest says they have a deal
that I could get DSL for $19.99 a month for a year. Of
course the fine prints MSN is the ISP so forth and so
on.

Their fine print -

How I had it previously was Comcast's modem to
wireless router (Linksys WRT-54G), a little Linksys
switch, FreeBSD and misc. Windows computers happily
sharing the connection.

Just to confirm, my guess is that this would not be
the service to go with since I would love to have my
spiffy Linksys Router (WRT-54G) hook to the DSL. And
to the WR54G the usual network systems of FreeBSD, and
misc Windows computers.

If the above isn't going to work then I'm stuck with a
different bundle (a few bucks more) that would allow
me to do the same thing. I hope. I'm not familiar with
the way in which DSL does its connectivity thing.
Okay, I saw in a previous question that PPoE is needed
with DSL. And I noticed that I could set my WRT54G to
utilize PPoE, so maybe MSN ISP  Qwest service will
work?

So am I right in still thinking that with MSN as the
ISP my setup it isn't going to be FreeBSD friendly and
that my spiffy little Comcast setup isn't going to
work with MSN as the ISP?

Most appreciated. Gah, that means I'm probably not
going to be needing my little WRT-54G router then. :~(

Hope I wasn't to confusiong there.

 You might not get

 things like static

 good reason /
 multiple machines.  You can typically also run other
 protocols (e.g.

 setup.
I think they have another deal that doesn't use MSN.
Not the killer 19.99 deal though. :( 
 Hope this helps.
It did a little, I got a good laugh from your comment

on the logistics of getting service of some kind

Re: updating in single-user mode

2005-10-24 Thread Dimitar Vasilev
 I don't reccommend doing installworld or kernel in multiuser, but I have never
 had any problems doing it on a lightly loaded machine. With that said what
 could bite you is your new kernel not booting or something broken in
 userland. You will then need console access (serial or local) to fix it. I
 would set up your machine with serial console access and use a laptop or
 another machine when you reboot.

I have done it when there is NO activity on the machine. Read UPDATING first.
Reset your securelevel to -1, stop all services except SSH and go.
It's possible to break your machine though.
Then you have to rebuild it again and it's 50/50 to succeed.
As advised twice, use serial cables/KVM switches if possible.

Re: default routing question ZIPB ADSL PPPoA

 The long : I have a CellPipe ADSL router/bridge from Lucent. This device is
 provided by our ISP. I am exploring the ZIPB functionality of the device to
 allow my FreeBSD host to own the public IP. The basics of the configuration
 for those unfamiliar is as follows. PPPoA is established by the device and
 the the (public) IP acquired through the previous process is delivered to a
 host behind that CellPipe via DHCP. After DHCP the device acts as a
 bridge, allowing the internal device to use the public IP as its own. I'm
 sure this description is vague but I don't know any other way to explain.

Looks like you are using PPPoA over a modem bridge. How do you connect your 
modem to your PC? (ethernet, usb, ???)

 Info : After dhclient acquires its info the ethernet interface looks like
 this
 ifconfig ethernet interface – inet A.B.C.D netmask
 255.255.255.255http://255.255.255.255/


Send the result of this command, if you want to keep your privacy, change the 
net address.

ifconfig
netstat -rn

Also, I don't understand, what is your problem?

I have a PPPoE connection and the ifconfig give somenthig like this

% ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500
inet 216.136.204.21 -- 204.152.186.171 netmask 0xff00
