RE: Motherboards
I have a number of servers that are reaching end of life. They are over 7 years old and I can no longer find IDE drives that work with the slower controllers they have. These are all towers and use ASUS motherboards. Those were quite cheap at the time and the boards have worked very well over the years. However, I am now hearing rumers that ASUS motherboards are no longer the best quality and probably should be avoided. Don't need much on the machines, but do have to have 2 NICs and a SCSI controller on each. What are good, rock solid, motherboards with FreeBSD 6.0? I can't speak for FBSD 6 best motherboard, however, regarding ASUS their quality is not as good as it used to be. I deal with number of computer suppliers and we're beginning to see more common ASUS motherboard problems. In the entry level market if you're going to use Intel CPU maybe it is best to stick with Intel boards (they are not flexible, but quality wise pretty good). If in AMD, I see NForce chipsets most popular.

Xorg problem
Hello I installed 6.0-RELEASE on Alpha. But I cannot find the Xorg packages to be installed on the system, I did a network install. Now I need Xorg for many reasons and if I Try to install it from the ports collection it won't compile because the systems does not have the /usr/X11R6/include/X11 needed stuff. How I can install Xorg ? Where can I find a pre-packaged one ? I just would need the include files so I Can compile ghostrscript for example. thanks Rick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Motherboards
Tyan are as rock-solid as it gets. Supermicro are also very good, but IMO they come second after Tyan. If you're looking for cheap mobo's, Gigabyte is a nice choice. Asus seems to be fine too, but my personal experience says against them (very loudly in fact). Abit was great a few years ago (I still have BE6-II with 200-300 days of uptime), but they have their issues now. So stick with Tyan if you want stability and stick with Gigabyte if you don't have enough money.

Restricted SFTP access to server for one user
Thanks to an unfortunate turn of events, we are hosting a website for a client that should have been hosted externally. Now he wants FTP access to a directory on the server. I don't want to install an FTP program, and we don't use password authentication for SSH, so I'm going to tell him to create a key pair and send us his public key. I can remove his login shell, but how do I restrict him to only view his home directory over SFTP?

Or wait for 6.1 You get the 3ware drivers from the freebsd cvsup. 3ware had some brains at least, they do not host their freebsd drivers on their own ftp server, they use the cvs server for FreeBSD.

It currently has 2 internal harddrives which are working and mountable. Additionally there are 3 hotswappable hdds which are connected to a 3ware 9550sx-8LP raid 5/0 controller card. Everything has been configured properly within the controller's bios. However, the controller is not detected during boot time. I found out that the 'twa' drivers should take care of this, and after consulting the online manpages I saw... however it said FreeBSD 7.0 below at the bottom of the online manpage... *HARDWARE* http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=twasektion=4manpath= FreeBSD+7.0-current#end As can be seen in the link, that is the manpage for 7-CURRENT.

Yes, that is all the devices that twa supported when 6.0 was made. Support for the 95x0SX cards have been added since. The upcoming 6.1 should support all the devices that 7-CURRENT supports.

It would just decide to freeze up for no reason. It would happen usually at least once a week, and it was fairly common for it to lock up during the O/S boot. It would never lock up in BIOS though. After replacing every single piece of hardware in the machine, aside from the motherboard, nothing seemed to help. Upon further inspection of the motherboard, just before looking to buy a new one, I noticed bulging / leaking capacitors around the CPU socket. It looked like *all* of the most important caps were knackered. I am suprised it managed to turn on and stay up (for a while) at all. Just the other day I ordered some good brand name caps (Rubycon MCZ's) and replaced all but 3 of the original capacitors on the board. It's been up for 11 days with no signs of locking up. Before leaving it on again I tested it out, just by restarting a fair few times, to see if it continued to lock up during O/S boot. Not *once* did it lock up after the capacitor replacement jobby I did. It appears to have solved all my instability problems! It may be a long shot, but it's perhaps worth perhaps checking the capacitors and making sure they're in good condition. Even a slight bulge is the sign of a failing capacitor, as far as I am aware. The tops should be *perfectly* flat, and nice and shiny :-) Of course, you may not be comfortable taking a soldering iron to your board. If you do discover bad caps and would like to have them replaced by someone with experience, take a look at www.badcaps.net. They offer a paid service for capacitor replacement. Not exactly certified by any motherboard manufacturers or anything, but appears to have a lot of experience. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Caps are really the only components that go bad just from age. And on Intel Pentium 2 up mobo's, as well as AMD stuff = Athlon, they're heavily stressed and often marginal quality from the start. On any mobo's that support different CPU voltages, you'll see a bunch of caps, coils, etc usually adjacent to the CPU socket. It's a DC-DC power converter to generate all the required voltages. Lots of folks are also running later models CPUs that draw more power than the board was designed to work with, stressing they further.

No real bias against the changes or decisions made in 5.X, and I don't want to start an argument. But my 4.x servers just run, and run, and run. I've never had to ask a question or had any issues when patching or installing software/hardware on my 4.X servers. 4.X just seems more stable and more mature to me, which is what attracted me to FreeBSD 7 odd years ago. If you want to *learn* FreeBSD I would recommend 4.X as there is lots of information, forum data, HowTo, example information already out there. Except that over the next year all support for 4.x will be terminated (and in practise 4.x is already largely unsupported), so you'll be basically on your own with a lot of stuff. Though he could install 6.1 as one of his many reinstalls. It seems people who really want to learn the how and why will reinstall at least a few times, every one I know has ;^) It is likely that any issue he might run into installing 4.X could be answered by most experienced users on this list, right off the top of their heads. He doesn't state if he is new to Unix, if he were, Half Price Books would likely have hardcopy that covers 4.X. Google would certainly have more information on 4.X than on 6.X. But yes, you do have a very valid point. He will be using 6.X eventually, and the changes between 4.X and 6.X are not trivial. I retract my statement, it is probably better to go ahead and start learning 6.X now. Really you want to use 6.0 or 6.1 on any new system, simply because that's the modern, supported version of FreeBSD.

Removable drives
Hi, I have a question to the community about removable drives, pendrives and usb and firewire attached hard drives. I'm just wondering how people are dealing with them in FreeBSD. I don't have any operational problems with them. I'm just wondering if I'm doing things the hard way. First Question: Which filesystem are people using on usb flash drives and removable hard drives? I'm using a mixture of ufs2, ext2, and msdos. I'm using ufs2 because I'm also using cfs to encrypt the contents and although I haven't tested this, I'm fairly certain cfs want's semantics that aren't in the msdos filesystem. Second Question: Are most people using vfs_usermount=1? I'm using the automounter. It's a little bit more work to setup but I'm using a laptop and since I've started to use the automounter the number of times that I've had to fsck my removable drive because I've suspended my laptop with a pendrive still attached and mounted has been reduced incredibly.

Need some tips in reorganizing our LAN.
Hi, Right now, I'm working in a poor government agency where the network is not well organized. Its hard to trace users that are doing this stuff and doing that.IP addresses are scattered all around the 3 story building.Switches are cascading everywhere.. Everything is a disaster. When a machine is infected with some worms, its trivial to track it down..When one is doing p2p, no one can stop him. Perhaps the reason why this is happening right now is that the former network administrators did not consider the scenarios that will happen in the future, like increasing number of users and workstations mobilization of employees from one area to another, etc. Right now, we have a freebsd 4.7 lying in a dark room not far away from where I am right now. And it is indeed the center of our Local Area Network.. Guess what, it has only 2 interfaces. One connected to public, and the other connected to our private switch. That private interfaced is aliased to multiple subnets like this: 10.10.1.1 10.10.2.1 10.10.3.1 10.10.4.1 10.10.5.1 This interface is connected to 1 switch and then 5 or more switches are connected to this main switch. Those 5 or more switches are then scattered to every area of the building. I know you are thinking a lot of negative things about this setup, but this is what it really looks right now. The MIS suggested a LAN transition project, and I was assigned to lead the team. Right now, we are only two in this very big team. :-) I'm just wondering if I will ever gonna finish this project or not. I have a lot of stuffs mixed up in my mind right now but I really don't know where to start. I have these in my mind right now: Connectivity 1. wired 2. wireless Machines being hooked into the network: 1. servers 2. workstations 3. testbeds 4. personal (laptops etc.) Will use DHCP Will use centralized directory service Will use centralized authentication We have at most 150 employees... We don't have that much to spend on equipments like managed switches, powerful servers, etc. We have a lot of political issues that needs to be resolved regarding network usage policies All these stuffs, basically mixed up in my mind. I really have no idea where to start aside from creating a purchase request for a new PC router and a multiple port lan card, which I already did a week ago..And it has not arrived yet. :-) Please help me. I told my partner that services configuration is just a piece of cake once we already have a definite plan. I really don't know where to start. I'm not even tasked to do this... I'm just tasked to help my partner who is a member of the poor MIS. At first, I thought this would be just as easy as upgrading the machine to FreeBSD 6.0 and then reconfiguring the firewall ruleset, but I was wrong. If you have any Network Transition plan that you may want to share to me, please do so.

Even if we don't have that much similarities in our network setup, at least the non technical part like planning etc... It really depends of the goals you want to reach, the services you plan to provide, how you wantto devide your network in groups, if there is effective geographical division (one service in one single floor or in one single office), if you can afford new cabling in the building, etc. Once you have the big picture clear, then you can think of the technical parts.

Right now, we are only two in this very big team. :-) I'm just wondering if I will ever gonna finish this project or not. I have a lot of stuffs mixed up in my mind right now but I really don't know where to start. If you don't have it already, I'd start cleaning up the old system without changing it's structure. Remove the redudancies, eg unnecessary cascading switches, or computers that are no longer used. This will give you a clear idea of what the current layout looks like, making it easier to plan changes, and with some luck it'll also give you a hardware stockpile that you can then recycle for your new LAN. I have these in my mind right now: Connectivity 1. wired 2. wireless I see no place for a wireless network in a professional network. It's hard to secure it (it's possible, encrypted-VPN-over-WLAN works, but it's difficult and expensive to set up). Stick with a wired LAN, and there'll be one security threat less that you have to worry about. Machines being hooked into the network: 1. servers 2. workstations Make a list of the servers you have, and which user groups need them. Make a list of which logical user groups there are. Then design a network layout to match those needs. You could, for example, put each use group into its own subnet, including the servers it needs. Access between user groups could then be restricted at will*. Alternatively, put some or all servers into a dedicated subnet. This will also allow protecting them better. I realize I'm being very unspecific, but you didn't give us all that much information. 3. testbeds If there are users accessing those, treat them as servers. Otherwise, isolate them from the production network. 4. personal (laptops etc.) This is a difficult one. Personal laptops are machines you have no direct control over (you cannot control what software is installed on it), and as such they are a high risk factor when they are connected to your network.

If you isolate user groups that need to communicate with each other into different subnets and block traffic between them, it'll be easier to contain a worm outbreak. And oh yeah: in my opinion, the firewall, ie the outermost machine that's connected to the internet, should have 2 or 3 interfaces only, and carry data only on 2 of them. Do not give it several interfaces for the purpose of routing your LAN. It'll make creating an airtight firewall ruleset much more difficult. Instead, have one or several routers inside your LAN that handle it, that don't need to deal with malicious outside traffic too. Please help me.

How to clear userland?
Is there a nice tidy way to clear my userland - CLEAN without jeopardizing or reloading the OS? My 4.11 box is still stable - it started life as a webserver (my first learning experience with Unix), then added printserver and was still pretty light in junk. Recently however, I decided to add a mail server - what with naivety and inexperience and looking at anti-spam and uncle virus etc I think I clogged up my HD with too many extras. I would like to take it back to a barebones OS and reinstall userland without having to re-install OS - can someone suggest safest and least painful options. Thanks, Graham/ BTW - I stayed with 4.11 mainly because it is stable, and it does what it is supposed to do - well, on fairly light hardware, IBM PIII-600 w. 256MB. If it ain't broke.. When the hardware breaks it will probably be time to upgrade the software and check out 6.x's new goodies - or maybe it will be 7.x or 8.x by that time. ..;--) Cheers, G/ -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.

Re: Need some tips in reorganizing our LAN.
Jay, snip This interface is connected to 1 switch and then 5 or more switches are connected to this main switch. Those 5 or more switches are then scattered to every area of the building. I know you are thinking a lot of negative things about this setup, but this is what it really looks right now. You didn't define how large your client base (number of machines) was (or at least give us a guesstimate). The MIS suggested a LAN transition project, and I was assigned to lead the team. Right now, we are only two in this very big team. :-) I'm just wondering if I will ever gonna finish this project or not. I have a lot of stuffs mixed up in my mind right now but I really don't know where to start. Just sitting down with a piece of paper and working through the issues in a command and conquer fashion gets the job done. That's the stuff that engineers are made of :). I have these in my mind right now: Connectivity 1. wired 2. wireless Only do wireless if you intend to have a semi-smart setup with a set of wireless routers that restrict the clients connecting who are not known to force them to login. You can ensure that the clients are known (registered) by recording their Mac addresses and records; that's how the dept I work for does things, and it works pretty well. Otherwise, there's always an SSL login via wireless each time that ties into a domain/kerberos login. Machines being hooked into the network: 1. servers 2. workstations 3. testbeds 4. personal (laptops etc.) As said before, just isolate the testbed machines from the servers and workstations because it will pose less of a security risk, and just in case something goes awry with a testbed machine, the odds of the problems cascading over into the other subnets will be reduced. Will use DHCP Will use centralized directory service Will use centralized authentication We have at most 150 employees... We don't have that much to spend on equipments like managed switches, powerful servers, etc. Don't need something powerful unless you want something 'simple' or dedicated to use; with proper setups and Unix machines (one of FreeBSD's definite forte's), you will probably be able to take a upper level P3 and/or a lower level P4 and service an entire subnet with little latency issues. I don't suggest running more than sshd, ipfw (or an equivalent firewall), sendmail, and a syslog daemon, just to keep things light and traffic moving quickly. We have a lot of political issues that needs to be resolved regarding network usage policies Again, registration and port blocking can solve this by restricting the ports and 'punishing' the rule breakers. Be aware that no solution's perfect and someone will always come up with something to beat your clever 'mousetrap'. All these stuffs, basically mixed up in my mind. I really have no idea where to start aside from creating a purchase request for a new PC router and a multiple port lan card, which I already did a week ago..And it has not arrived yet. :-) If you've already done this, make sure to make this your central machine; that way the machine sifting through all of the traffic and redirecting requests can be the best equipped to meet the issue at hand. Please help me. I told my partner that services configuration is just a piece of cake once we already have a definite plan. Shouldn't have said that... building up client expectation isn't a wise thing necessarily if one can't deliver due to unexpected issues or turns. I really don't know where to start. I'm not even tasked to do this... I'm just tasked to help my partner who is a member of the poor MIS. At first, I thought this would be just as easy as upgrading the machine to FreeBSD 6.0 and then reconfiguring the firewall ruleset, but I was wrong. Stuff isn't always as easy as it seems. That's what I've learned through my little experience in the real world. If you have any Network Transition plan that you may want to share to me, please do so. Even if we don't have that much similarities in our network setup, at least the non technical part like planning etc... Uhm... don't mean to be rude, but aren't you getting paid to think of ideas and not me ;)? Just thought you might want to mull over those points I just mentioned a bit. Basically follow the advice given already, which essentially is: 1. Calm down 2. Think stuff over a. Write down what needs to be accomplished and the requirements that need to be met. b. Eliminate unnecessary components. c. Draw up a new plan. 3. Execute your new plan HTH, -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then design a network layout to match those needs. You could, for example, put each use group into its own subnet, including the servers it needs.
