DDNS, ISC-DHCPD, and Bind... not working because of strange error messages
I did actually manage to get this to work, and I can't exactly work out
what changed to cause this error.
I set this up at the end of last year, and it worked- kind of. The
failure was my own by not using a proper FQDN, but it worked
unofficially anyway. Records were updating etc: all happy.
Anyway, I finally got the FQDN worked out (split horizon dns- external
and internal views), but I find that the ddns is not working: and not
because of the changes I made. I looked back and found the problem going
on for month. My messages file has these entries, and no amount of
googling has brought me any closer to finding out what they could mean,
or why my clients aren't updating:
Mar 27 16:18:54 {$HOSTNAME} dhcpd: pool.ntp.org: no A record associated
with address
I've edited the hostname to protect the innocent.
What I can't figure out is why would dhcpd be looking at pool.ntp.org? I
ran a dig on pool.ntp.org on the off chance it was busted- but of course
it was not. And this record pops up everytime I renew my ip addresses.
Weird...
Little help anyone?
Cheers

See the manuals [fetch(1) and fetch(3)] for more information on that. You may find it informative to use fetch from the command line, instead of ftp. If the same problems occur in interactive mode, you will probably find it much easier to determine why. It does seem like a fetch issue. To the same server URL part, FTP works, but fetch fails.

tinybsd doesn't have /etc/rc.d/ ?
The whole of /etc/rc.d/ directory is missing on TinyBSD 0.9. Is this by design? I'm hoping someone can throw light on it. I copied the sshd script manually from my 7.0-REL host onto the flash image, as also a simple initialization script that I wrote for setting up the network. But it looks like lot more startup scripts from /etc/rc.d/ are required to initialize the system. I can ping the device on the network port, which means my network script ran. But sshd on port 22 isn't available, so I guess /etc/rc.d/sshd failed. I prefer to copy only the necessary scripts into my target's /etc/rc.d/ from the host, and not the whole directory. There are 143 scripts in rc.d. Is there a minimal subset of scripts to setup the system, networking + basic services (dhclient, sshd etc)?

I would rather have a patch to hplip distribution only, because libusb correctly throws an error code for the missing serial id. But if some apps query the device directly, the missing serial id may be a problem, they will all have to all be patched separately.

Any suggestions for other comparable choices? From personal experience, getting a laptop to work under FreeBSD (or even Linux) is a hair pulling experience. It took me about six months of tinkering off and on to get a Broadcom(yuck!) wifi adapter to work in my HP laptop last year. In the interim, I found a work around that was about $30. I purchased a usb wifi adapter that used the rum driver. At the time, I had to run -current to get that particular driver, but I never had a problem with the computer or the adapter under -current. The most headaches I've gotten with laptops have always involved the wifi cards. Consequently, every laptop I've installed FreeBSD and Linux on had a Broadcom(yuck!) wifi chipset. Everything else has been well supported, graphics, sound, power management, pointing devices, and usb devices. I even managed to use FreeBSD to connect to the robots I had to use in one of my master's classes last year. That was pleasantly surprising. --Jay Thank you all for your advice.

Something in the latest gnome upgrade went a bit askew, and hal is running rampant and causing havoc. Some suggested fixes are: * Reconfigure Xorg so it recognises your mouse as /dev/usm0 (for USB mice) or /dev/psm0 (for ps/2 mice) rather than /dev/sysmouse * Apply a patch to the sysutils/hal port created by Joe Marcus Clarke -- see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2008-March/006210.html * Recompile x11-servers/xorg-server after toggling off the HAL support in the OPTIONS dialogue.

restore in Fixit mode
Hello, I am trying to restore a backup of /usr created with dump using the command: dump -0 -Lauf - / | bzip2 | dd of=root.backup When I restore / and /var partitions, I don't have any problems. Here's how I do it: 1. boot FreeBSD 7.0 live CD and go to fixit mode. 2. mount /dev/ads1a partition into /mnt. 3. restore / without problems - over network using command: ssh 192.168.1.1 cat root.backup | /mnt2/usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c | restore -vrf - 4. mount all other partitions - /dev/ad0s1f and /dev/ad0s1d under /mnt/usr and /mnt/var 5. restore /var without problems as above. 6. when I try to restore /usr partition (with the command above), I get this several times (cca. 10x): /: write failed, filesystem is full and the restore procedure proceeds, however at the end most of the directories under /mnt/usr are empty (but not all of them). I guess this might be because there are many more files in /usr backup file and restore tries to cache filenames into some file on / partition (which is in Fixit mode very small ramfs partition, right?). And because this cache grows too big restore cannot save all the filenames and therefore also cannot restore them. How to solve this? I have also tried restoring interactively, but the result is similar: before I get the restore's command prompt, I get those filesystem is full errors and if I walk through the directories of the archive with cd and ls, most of directories are empty.

While before and including 5.2.1-RELEASE (and possibly in later releases as well, but NOT in 6.3-RELEASE and 7.0-RELEASE) tcpdump displayed simply ALL packets, regardless whether those packets were VLAN tagged or not, coming in on the specific interface(s) (em(4)), i.e. tcpdump -n -i em3 host a.b.c.d it now (in 6.3-RELEASE and 7.0-RELEASE) requires explicitly the following statement to display VLAN tagged traffic: tcpdump -n -i em3 vlan and host a.b.c.d Or in other words: add vlan to the tcpdump expression and it works just fine. Before the latest few releases this wasn't necessary for VLAN tagged packets.

Limiting Individual User Upload w/ PF+ALTQ
I am trying to setup traffic shaping on our network. I was wondering if it was possible to limit a users download bandwidth and upload bandwidth within the same state connection. For example, say a user connects to an external FTP site and does some uploading and downloading. Can I allow him to download at 1Mb but limit his upload to 500Kb? As I understand the packet filtering of PF, the first packet creates a state and the rest are then ignored by the filtering software. If this is true, the users first packet will be inbound on the internal interface which will be queued for download speed. This makes sense to me when you want to queue the entire connection but how do I then do a separate queue on the traffic coming back? I am using 7.0 STABLE.

Re: OpenOffice 2.3
On Thursday 27 March 2008, Nikola Lečić wrote: According to what can be read on the page I sent with my previous mail, it seems to be a GTK-related issue. I confirm that all 7-stable OpenOffice packages (including 2.3.1_1) work perfectly on my plain 7.0-RELEASE/i386 install, but with *up-to-date* ports, not with precompiled packages shipped as a part of the release. So, 1) Update your ports, and don't forget ports/UPDATING; 2) Try OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome if you're using KDE. Unfortunately building OpenOffice from ports on my underpowered Duron 1600 system isn't an option until I treat myself to a hardware upgrade. My ports are up to date, but upgraded with portupgrade -P to use packages where possible. I did once try to build OpenOffice from ports last year on my 6.3 system but it came up with a compile error after about 3 days continuous compiling so I fell back to using a package instead - that version (2.3.1) is still running fine on 6.3. Looks like I need to keep my dual boot 6.3 / 7.0 setup for a while longer yet. I note that the discussion on http://www.nabble.com/Re:-GLib-GObject-CRITICAL-td13904374.html suggests that the problem is amd64 specific but this doesn't appear to be the case - I'm running an i386 system. -- Mike Clarke ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do make sure that you have the GENERIC kernel kernel installed, so you won't run into missing drivers etc. Well, you can always trial-and-error it with kldload after the fact too usually, since the most basic drivers are very likely still a part of his kernel (ata and friends, pci bus, etc) But before you buy anything, look over the motherboard's specs to see if all the components are supported.

What happens is that maintaining state enhances security and does not reduce it as people often think. Matching states is several orders of magnitude faster, more efficient and secure than matching every packet with the thousand firewall rules. Anyway that is a digression. You want to limit speeds? Only upload speeds? Use the HFSC queue or CBQ queue of pf. You can specify the direction as in or out. So pf gives you enough granularity for restricting either inbound or outbound traffic (downloads and uploads). The only caveat is that you will need to invest some time and effort in figuring out how queuing disciplines work. No big deal if you can read thro' the documentation.
