Why isn't it listening on that address now? What you see is `normal' for a host which supports local email delivery and forwards everything else to another `smart host'. If you want to start a listener which also accepts email from the network (instead of a listener only for 127.0.0.1 like the one you have now), you will have to tweak the `sendmail_xxx_enable' options in your `/etc/rc.conf' file. Right now, you probably have something like: sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=YES sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES To run the sendmail daemon for inbound email connections on all network interfaces, you need sendmail_enable=YES, and then you can drop the line for the `submit' daemon: sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES Note: For more details about these `rc.conf' variables, it may be useful to read the rc.sendmail(5) manpage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Photo organizer for FreeBSD?
Hi, Can you tell me what kind of software should I use for organizing photos?

I would like to have txt files saved in the same directory where the photos are, or something similar.) - should have a full text search feature (search for photos with given keywords) - should run on Windows and FreeBSD. (Actually, I would like to burn self-starting DVDs, so a Python or Perl based GUI would be great) Well, if there is a web server based solution, that is fine with me, I need to burn photos to DVDs and be able to use them.

buildworld failure on VIA C3 Nehemiah

ralink (DWL-G510) transmit power
Hi All, I've changed my old wireless board (Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card) with a new DWL-G510. The driver seems to recognize the card correctly but for some reasons it wouldn't work. After a while I came up with a solution, the problem was in the range. It is extremely short! 6 meters at most in line of sight! I tried with a 15db gain antenna without success.. and I'm wondering if there's a way to increase the txpower of this card (I tried using ifconfig txpower) Can anyone suggest me a board/chipset with higher transmit power?

Having problems with SMTP authentication
HI, I've followed the instructions @ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html, but am still having problems with the authentication process. If I set my client to use either CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5, I get an error return of authentication failure, most likely the password is wrong. Now, to make sure that I'm understanding this correctly, this program (saslauthd) takes the username and passwords given it and attempts to verify them against what the system knows to be it's users, correct? Working under this assumption, it would seem that the user vmail (a user I created on the system) would be the user that I would want to use in the e-mail client. Well, I've done this and verified that the password is, in fact, correct; I'm unable to authenticate to the SMTP server. Another point of interest, I added these lines (from the handbook) to my freebsd.mc file (as per instructions): dnl set SASL options TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl But when I ask my e-mail client to check what the server supports, the returned list is only, GSSAPI, DIGEST-MD5 and CRAM-MD5. Why is LOGIN not listed when it's included in this macro file? Is there anything missing from this section of the handbook that I've missed?

Also, this server is on an internal LAN before I subject it to the wild, untamed, InterWeb, with its dangerous internets darting back and forth inside all of the tubes. Really good idea :) add allow all from any to any via lo0 add deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 add deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any That's ok. It may help you in debugging what's happening to use: allow log tcp from any to any in established allow log tcp from any to any out established In that case 'me to any' or 'any to me' provides unambiguous direction where appropriate. As shown in your ipfw show below, direction can help make things clear, and clarity means safety when it comes to firewalls, even if it means a slightly larger ruleset. # Deny fragmented packets: add deny ip from any to any frag # Show pings: add count icmp from any to any icmptypes 8 in That's inbound ping requests. Don't forget that 'inbound' means coming into the firewall, not necessarily from the outside world. Your own ping requests _from_ this box also have to both come in, and go out. Hmmm. OK. Outbound Ping will be rarely used, but should be allowed. Isn't that included in the next rule? Yes it is, so here ambiguous directionality works ok, as long as you're well aware of it. # Allow pings, ping replies, and host unreach: add allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 0,8,3 Add icmptype 11 as well if you want traceroutes to work .. Ok, though udp rules are often better done statefully. See below. # Allow DNS with name server add allow udp from any to any domain out add allow udp from any domain to any in Nope. You want to watch out here. This allows udp packets from any address with source port 53 to connect with any open udp port on your system, and allows the responses as well. It's a simple matter using such as netcat to source packets from port 53. Should I restrict it by specifically stating the service? How can I be safe? What would the rule look like? I gather from this that you're not running a DNS server yourself, but using upstream server/s? In that case a stateful rule is safer: Again, I apologize for not being clear. I will be running DNS on this box for the domains being hosted. So, it will be polled whenever a request for a hosted domain is needed. Ok, so your nameserver will be making upstream requests too, and you'll need to do TCP 53 traffic with your secondary nameserver/s as well as UDP 53 traffic with upstream nameservers, up to the root unless you're only using specified upstream forwarders. Given that you're checking TCP setup, allowing established, then maybe: allow udp from me to any 53 out keep-state# my requests allow udp from any to me 53 in keep-state # serve outside requests allow tcp from me to $secondaries 53 setup# zone transfers out allow tcp from $secondaries to me 53 setup# zone transfers in What is $secondaries? though you'll want to protect named with ACLs for xfers as well. ACLs? What are those? # SSH # Note that /etc/hosts.allow has restrictions # on which IP addresses are allowed. # # Allow SSH: add allow tcp from any to any ssh in setup By 'ssh working', I guess you mean ssh connections to this box from elsewhere, rather than ssh connections from this box?

Be sure to read the documentation in each of the *.mc files. If you have not all ready done so, check out the aliases file and modify as required. Be sure to run 'newaliases' when finished.

font problems
Over the holidays I decided to upgrade my ports after several months and everything went well except some fonts seems to be messed up. Sorry, I'm not really sure how to explain this better. Here is a screenshot of gkrellm: http://jrm.ath.cx/misc/messed_up_fonts.png As you can see, the fonts are so large they overlap. I didn't change any of my configuration files (xorg.conf, ~/fonts.conf, ~/.gtkrc-2.0, etc). The problem seems to be isolated to gtk applications. Here is the output from /var/log/xorg.log: http://jrm.ath.cx/misc/Xorg.0.log It seems as though the usual fonts cannot be rendered so some sort of defaults are being used. Thanks for any suggestions.

I see two approaches: I) Find complex leaf programs, like FireFox or OpenOffice. Build the port; this will drag in all the dependencies. II) a) Look in /usr/ports/distfiles, where all the distribution tarballs live. b) Prune the resulting list, so you're only trying to build one of any given port. c) Map the tarball name to the port. A discussion of how to do this happened within the last year on either questions@ or ports@, and may contain usable scripts. d) Lay in a good supply of your favorite caffeinated beverage, and set to work. In either case, design and implement a backup method.

I am providing the username and password that will work to login interactively to the server. I assume there is a different authentication method besides the standard password file, but as yet I haven't been able to find what that might be. Clearly I am missing something here.
