The trouble is I have to keep the ssh running there. The 'proxy' will not automatically set up next time I reboot my computer. Is it possible to install some software to run as a daemon and do this proxy? I think of stunnel, but I have too few knowledge to know if stunnel can do this. There are two general possibilities here: a) A Web cache/proxy -- squid is the canonical example, but you can do this sort of stuff in apache very readily. I think apache would be a good place for you to start, as most sysadmins have at least a passing acquaintance with its configuration. You'ld need set up a proxy on your European server to redirect any web traffic to en.wikipedia.org -- your users would use the service exactly as they do at the moment, but they'd put the IP of the European server into their hosts file, rather than your desktop. If that is a problem, then you can chain together a series of proxies starting with your desktop machine, then the European server -- but performance may be a tad slow. We have a lot of problems accessing any sort of proxy outside China, the latest technology in the great firewall of China, if you had read the newspaper, is content-based filtering. 443 port of many foreign servers are also being blocked. b) IPsec or other VPN tunnel between your server in Europe and a local firewall -- preferably your local firewall should be on the egress path from your LAN. Then you can arrange routing so that packets to destinations in Europe pass through the tunnel and use your European server as the gateway to the internet. In this case, there shouldn't be any need for your users to have to spoof the address of en.wikipedia.org in their hosts files. IPSec comes standard with FreeBSD, but you'ld probably want to combine it with pf(4) or other firewall software which you can use to control redirecting appropriate packets through your tunnel. If IPSec is too mind-mangling for you, OpenVPN (in ports) is a pretty good alternative. You'll almost definitely want to configure a NAT gateway on the European server. Either of these solutions will run automatically on system startup, if so configured. Option (a) will send your web traffic across the net in clear-text unless you can chain two proxies together and get creative about using HTTPS. Or you can combine both approaches: use a local HTTP proxy with a VPN tunnel to your European server. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation, I believe me and many other people on the list is going to benefit from it. Currently the only website we want very much but being blocked is wikipedia. Other websites being blocked are mostly about politics and news, which we are not interested (I think most people in China are not interested what foreign news says, and getting used to ignore 3rd party politic information). Wikipedia is an exception because it has a lot of useful information, not just politics. So basically if wikipedia is accessible, we are happy. Your general solution looks really complicated to me that I would like to do it as weekend fun, but probably not going to be able to maintain it. Information is like this: you don't need to block all information in order to prevent people knowing them, you only need to put barrier higher. There are many ways to workaround (walk-through) the Great Firewall, but every time when I look into different complicated solutions, I say to myself is it worthy to spend so much time on it? And ends up saying to myself, save the time, let's just don't read these news. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you use the security/tor-devel port, you can run it on your company's gateway and build an intercepting proxy with PF (or natd but I haven't tried that). This way you wouldn't have to touch the client systems at all. Currently the great firewall of Wikipedia prevents Tor users from contributing, but if you're only interested in reading, this shouldn't be a problem. Note that Tor doesn't hide the fact that you are using it. My understanding is that Tor usage is currently still legal in China (or at least not prosecuted) and quite popular there, but of course you should confirm that before you start using it on an IP address that can be traced back to you.

How exactly do I go about doing that, since those libs are part of world? Do I have to rebuild world or can I just rebuild those libs? What mods to make.conf or environmental variables do I need to set? I usually do this by setting DEBUG_FLAGS=-g in src/lib/blah/Makefile and just doing the make depend make make install routine in that one directory. It's perfectly safe to do this if your source tree matches your installed system. Doing it with newer sources is trickier since you may have to manually update includes or other dependant libraries, and building the whole world is usually easier. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

compilation problems with some code from Linux
Hi, I'm trying to port some code from Linux to FreeBSD and I've got an issue that revolves around something I've never dealt with before. The code includes the following header: #include sys/ucred.h Apparently, program is attempting to make use of the xucred structure defined in there, because the rest of the stuff in the file seems to be for the kernel. However, when I try to compile, gcc continually bails with the following error (among others), NGROUPS was not declared in this scope. The NGROUPS appears to be a macro, but it's not defined earlier on. Would anyone here know where it's defined so I can include that file too? Secondly, I'm also getting errors because gcc can't find sys/vfs.h either. True enough, there isn't any vfs.h file in /usr/include/sys. Since this file is in Linux, what should I include for FreeBSD?

On 6.x and 5.x I see that these are possible candidates: /usr/X11R6/include/gnome-vfs-2.0/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs.h /usr/include/fs/devfs/devfs.h /usr/include/sys/statvfs.h /usr/local/include/af_vfs.h /usr/src/sys/compat/svr4/svr4_statvfs.h /usr/src/sys/fs/devfs/devfs.h /usr/src/sys/nfs4client/nfs4_vfs.h /usr/src/sys/sys/statvfs.h But you'd have to compare the functions and structures defined in sys/vfs.h on linux to determine which is your best match up. There is /usr/ports/devel/mipsel-linux-kernel-headers/ which, according to pkg-plist will install mipsel-linux/include/linux/vfs.h. That may be exactly what you need (although it may be overkill). Or it may be the LAST thing you need :) Sometimes a porter will simply create a patch file in /usr/ports/portname/files that will create a skeleton version of the file which includes only the items you need. I've done this for development on my own system. As far as the NGROUP or other macros ... yikes! You may have to recreate that functionality entirely. I ran this: #!/bin/sh for each in `locate .h | grep '\.h$'` do if [ -f $each ]; then MYF=`cat $each | grep -i ngroups` if [ x$MYF != x ]; then echo $each : $MYF fi MYF= fi done It could probably be done more easily with sed and some elbow grease, but it does show NGROUPS defined here: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xos.h : #define NGROUPS 16 and /usr/include/sys/param.h among other places.

Configuration of Grub?
Hi, I am completely new here, and I did not find the answer to my problem. Not in the FreeBSD Handbook and not in the Installations instruction. I have SuSE 10.1 installed with Grub. I wanted to try FreeBSD, and I installed it on hdd (Linux-name) I think it is ad3 for FreeBSD. During the installation I chose A for automatic configuration and I said none for the boot-manager. Now I wonder what I have write in the grub configuration file menu.lst to finally start FreeBSD? I tried: title FreeBSD kernel (hd0,1)/boot/loader root=/dev/hdd1 AND title FreeBSD root (hd3,0) chainloader +1 First wasmade by YaST and the second is what I found on the Internet. None of them worked. Where is my mistake?

Attempting to write a mouse driver for the GunCon2...help?
---BeginMessage--- I'm trying to figure this out, and I'm not sure what to do. The GunCon2 is a usb device intended for the PS/2. I have it's communications protocol worked out, FreeBSD picks the gun up and gives it two devices, /dev/ugen0 and /dev/ugen0.1. ugen0.1 is a character device that I can easily read everything I need from the gun. I even have a perl reference driver written that uses perl and the X11::GuiTest module to move the pointer and click, but it's too laggy to be of real use. The gun has 10 (!!!) buttons. The trigger, A, B, C, Select, Start, and the control pad (4 independent buttons). I'm not sure whether or not the OS can support a 10 button HID mouse or not. I've tried just getting the gun detected and so it creates /dev/guncon instead of ugen (even if it really is still using the general purpose driver) with no luck. I have the product ID and vendor ID...I'm just not getting it. Ideally I'd like to be able to use the gun for MAME. It should function just like any other mouse though. Aside from lag issues, I have it doing that already.

Re: processes not getting fair share of available disk I/O (was: Re: TCP parameters and interpreting tcpdump output )
On Thu, Dec 07, 2006 at 05:41:51PM +, Dieter wrote: However, I don't know what you mean by data is lost. Data should never be lost from the filesystem regardless of how slow the I/O is happening, unless there's something else going wrong (e.g. driver bug). Also, rtprio should not be used in general - see the manpage. Were you using rtprio in your original scenario? It can easily cause resource starvation. I have data arriving on Ethernet. The data rate is 2.5 MB/s max, but the other end only has a small buffer. If the BSD box doesn't read the port fast enough, the data is lost. I have a C program (port2file) reading from the port into a *large* circular buffer, currently 431,226,880 bytes. This should be enough to buffer over 2 minutes of data. It does non-blocking 64KB writes to stdout. Shell script calls this program and redirects stdout to a disk file. Very little if any other i/o to this disk. Even with disk cache in write-through mode, I can write at about 6-7 MB/s. The process needs very little CPU. Sounds like this should be no problem. And it seems to work okay if the system is otherwise idle. The problem is that if some other process is writing to some other disk, it somehow slows down writes to ALL disks. Enough that, dispite the non-blocking writes (?), the TCP receive window shrinks and shrinks and finally is smaller than a packet. The src machine obediantly stops sending packets, its small buffer fills up, and data is lost. Things I have done so far: BIG buffer (over 2 minutes worth). The port2file process cranks up the TCP receive window from 65700 to 197100. It also cranks up rtprio from 20 to 5. sysctl net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0 The only process running rtprio is port2file. All other processes are either default priority or niced down with the classic nice(1). Thanks for explaining the problem in more detail. Did this problem start before you made port2file run with rtprio? Can you please include a copy of your kernel configuration file and dmesg? Kris pgpbpfD9fod7H.pgp Description: PGP signature

I know how to install a port to a specific location using PREFIX. What I want to achieve is to have one port installed twice. For example, I want one whole instance of phpMyAdmin to be in /var/www/ and a whole other one in /home/someuser/.

Alexis Well, a kludge, and maybe Lane was alluding to this, is to duplicate the phpMyAdmin port so you have two copies in your ports. You could then change the copy's Makefile so it has a different PORTNAME and a new install prefix. Of course you'd have to update your copy every time the original gets updated, but a script could probably handle that. Also portsnap will overwrite your copy, so maybe the script could recopy each time. I hope there's an easier way though. - Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or have I totally missed the point with PREFIX/DESTDIR ?
What I have done in the past is create slave ports. Say the port you want to
install twice is in ports/category/foo. Make a new directory
ports/category/bar. Inside that directory, create a Makefile similar to this:
PORTNAME= foo
PKGNAMESUFFIX= _bar-duplicate
COMMENT=This is the foo port but it installs as
foo_bar-duplicate
PREFIX= /path/to/alternate/prefix
# ...you may want other options here ...
MASTERDIR= ${.CURDIR}/../foo
.include ${MASTERDIR}/Makefile
Install once from category/foo and once from your new port's directory and
away you go. Again, the porter's handbook has lots of useful information
about everything above.

acpi woes and dead filesystem
So, I got my desktop system (read: personal cpu, not a server) all set up, been using it for a couple weeks, all is happy. Now, I'm a bit of a tree-hugger, see, so I tend to like to suspend my computers insted of leaving them on perpetually. As such, tried acpiconf -s3 initially (others say unsupported). Seemed to go down ok, but coming back up it reboots every time. Ho hum. So I follow the handbook and go apm -Z, but that barely saves any power (can still hear disk, fan, etc, although screen blanks (apm -z also casues a reboot) Reanabled acpi -s3, lo, it appears to work, except, first time, only X comes back (not vtty's). Second time X doesn't come back either. Try ctl-alt-del, try suspend button, etc, no choice but to power down. I should mention at this point, that being paranoid, I habitually set all my fstab's to rw,sync, not just rw, which makes my next finding somewhat suprising to me: Upon power up, I am informed my filesystem is toast, and all I get is a shell. My question: besides searching for sympathy, does anyone know how to truly protect a system against unplanned powerdown and/or crash during disk acess? Not to compare apples and oranges, but I've been shutting down my windows systems by the 'pull the plug' method for years now, and I've never had a corrupted filesystem. I supose this could be because windows is just sloppy and doesn't care if ntfs is trashed, as long as the ntldr, etc, is not in the trashed location. Short of never suspending my system, I'd like a nicer way of preventing this. Course it appears I can't trully suspend my system more than once anyway, so perhaps it's moot.

The problem is not so much installing the PHP code in two different locations, which you can do quite simply by playing with the PREFIX settings, but trying to register the same thing two times in the package DB. Hmmm... The only way I can see to deal with this is to use a separate package database for the second installation. Something like: setenv PREFIX /some/where/else setenv PKG_DBDIR /var/db/pkg-some-where-else mkdir -p /var/db/pkg-some-where-else cd /usr/ports/databases/phpMyAdmin make install Note: this install will find and use all of the dependencies installed to support the first instance of phpMyAdmin. If you're doing multiple installs to support using phpMyAdmin in a jail then there are better methods. Probably the most conceptually simple method is to null-mount /usr/ports under your jail directory, then log into the jail and work inside it. However that does require having a 'fat' jail with a complete system environment inside it. This is the functionality that DESTDIR was invented to support (ie. installing in a location that is different to the way the location will appear in use) -- unfortunately DESTDIR support is being reworked and isn't fully available yet.

ACPI Support Question for FreeBSD 6.2-RC1
