Without LDAP one is able to use %L, %U and %a in the logon path, but if one uses LDAP then this path is no longer processed by Samba, but instead passed literally to Windows. So far my solution is to change all LDAP entries. This also means I should name multiple servers (on different networks) with the same hostname. Its a bit more limiting the smb.conf, but it works.

Now I didn't have any Xorg.conf file but each time I tried to start X from the CLI using the normal startx command (read the documentation through fully beforehand) but I didn't manage to get the mouse or keyboard to even work let alone starting the Gnome2 interface. Beside the two daemons others refered to, you sould also edit ~/.initrc and ~/xsession. For me both have the line: 'exec startkde'. Thats the command to start kde. I am looking to setup a small file server which I will use as DNS and NTP server also. The reason for selecting FreeBSD is that the system I about to install onto doesn't have much memory (not sure how much but probably in the region of 300-500MB perhaps) and although Linux would definitely suite this kind of system as Solaris needs round 2GB or so for OpenSolaris, I am quite interested to learn FreeBSD but also take advantage of the ZFS file system which is standard now in version 8. I would stick with UFS of UFS2. The latter if you don't intent to share them with *BSD. As I understand ZFS uses quite a lot more resources. If I wanted to something with RAID I might still use it, but even so still would use UFS to the system slices. If you low on disk space you can reduce this. I have used 256M for / in the past but would advise against this. You would need something like 8G for /usr. But may need to raise that by 5G if you build ports. I have larger /temp of 7G, but also build ports there. If you build Java it would need a least 4G. I won't be installing a GUI on this machine since it is going to be a server so I would like to know if BSD has a small footprint memory and CPU wise for me to run on the machine in question which is a PIV? It's not a problem. The footprint depends more on the ports you like to run. Also just to make sure: NFS, Samba, NTPd, and ISC's Bind are all supported on FreeBSD aren't they??

Re: Traffic shaping with ipfw/DUMMYNET when using natd
On Wed, May 24, 2006 at 08:32:53AM -0600, G-der wrote: I've been setting up ipfw and DUMMYNET to do some traffic shaping on my network. Right now to test things out I've basicly put everything into two categories. There's traffic from 10.0.10.10 which is lower priority (this is a download machine) and then there's everything else. The biggest problem I've runinto is that because natd gets the packets first thing the only way to catch outgoing traffic is on the internal network interface. That is if you want to limit based on which internal machine is generating the traffic like in my case. After the divert rule for natd the src-ip field gets changed to my external ip address. This has a side effect of limiting all the traffic on that internal interface, even stuff that is not bound for the internet. I've tried playing around a little bit with the bridged, diverted, and diverted-output commands but can't get any of them to catch the packets. Is there a way to limit outgoing traffic based on which machine owns the traffic internally that doesn't have to be done on the internal interface? Would it be better practice to scan outgoing traffic before the divert rules for natd? I do it on the internal nic. I just have the internal traffic skip those rules. You could do it on the external nic, but this is more complex. You should remeber that the diverd rule changes the ip adress. Scanning outgoing traffic before the divert rule and incomming afther it should work to. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

Yes you could use count instead of allow. check-state count log tcp from any to ${my-ip} dst-port 22 limit src-addr 3 allow tcp from any to ${my-ip} dst-port 22 setup limit src-addr 3 -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

Remember there are two boot blocks, so to speak. There is the MBR that lets you choose which slice to boot. There is only one of those per disk and it lives in sector 0 of the disk. The MBR generally has a standard calling sequence (that the Bios calls) and sets things up to a fairly standard condition and looks for standard appearing boot sectors in slices and makes a standard call to the selected slice's boot sector. Almost any MBR that knows how to recognize a standard boot sector in a slice and lets you choose between them if there are more than one can be used interchangeably. Then there is the boot block with the actual boot loader that starts pulling the OS from the bootable partition. On a multi boot disk there are several - one per each bootable slice and they live in the boot sector of each slice.Those are specific to the OS they are booting. Though their calling sequence is standard, what they have to do to load and start their own OS is not. Is it posible to boot one OS if you only have the MBR? No, you need the boot sector. If you have only that in the first location, you can boot without an full MBR, I think, but not without the boot sector that the MBR loads and jumps to. But its not posible to put the code of the boot sector in the MBR place? (i.e. doesn't fit) I am guessing that you managed to overwrite or damage the MS slice' boot sector while you were doing things, or didn't get it written to the slice properly when you reloaded or something like that. Even though you put the MBR back with FreeBSD's fdisk, did you also make sure that the MS slice had its own boot loader? Anyway you did when you put the MS boot loader back. So it works now. I think the anwser to you question should be no. It booted before I put the MBR back. The previous time I first installed windows and then FreeBSD 5.

The boot sector/record/block goes in the first sector of the slice. The MBR lets you pick the slice you want to boot and then loads its boot sector/block/record and jumps to it in a standard location. MBR = /boot/boot0 (a copy of it) boot sector = /boot/boot1 What I was thinking is: Now windows overwrites the MBR. And I was thinking it would put the boot sector in the place of MBR.

The geometry FreeBSD suggests yield 152 Gigs, slices correctly and functions perfectly. I'm plannning on reformating anyway as this is only a test run, but do I need to be conserned about the error? Isn't the rest of the error message using a more likely geometry? IANAE, but I believe FBSD is simply stating that it doesn't find the BIOS's numbers to be what it wants, so it's going to use its own. This would explain the effect you see in the second sentence above. As yield, slice, and function seems OK, I think go for it! is perfectly good advice in this instance. I've seen the error several times, too, and so far so good. It does say, using a more likely geometry. The numbers are vastly different then what the BIOS says, but as I said, the capacity seems correct and it functions normally. I just don't want to have any trouble down the road... It shouldn't be a problem. Geometries nowdays aren't as useful as they used to be and aren't really used much, LBA alleviates most of that. The geometries that FreeBSD uses aren't the same that the drive internally uses. In fact, using geometries has been the cause of an old 8 gig limit on hard drives, a newer 137 gig limit, and an old boot loader problem booting anything over cylinder 1023. As for the missing 8 gigs, that's probably because your hard drive manufacture used SI units (10^3=1000) instead of the standard units (2^10=1024) just to make the number look bigger. My 250 gig drive is only 238 gig in reality. Back when I installed 5.2 I to got this error. I went along with it, but this seemed to cause the system to not be able to reboot.

But I can only see mod_php4-4.3.6 now, which does not look like an update to mod_php4-4.3.8_2. You go wrong here. There doesn't exist a command 'make search=...' it should be 'make search name=mod_php4'. Because of this you have compiled (but not installed) all recursive ports. To fix this do: make clean from /usr/ports (this takes a while) The most recent for me is: mod_php4-4.3.4_7,1 If you run 'pkg_version | grep php' then you can see if the port is newer than the one you installed. A means that this is the case. Now my question is: How should/can I update mod_php4, if there is no update available? First install portupgrade: # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/ # make install make clean Then do: # rehash # portupgrade -fR mod_php4 The R also compiles all ports that php4 uses and the f force a recompile of ports that are of the current version. Its not allways required but I've had some trouble with php. This solved the problem for me. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

If these games exist for linux then you can rum them on FreeBSD by enable the linux support.

The best part of the FreeBSD port collection is, you dont need to know what else to do. The port tree is designed in such a way that if you try to install a particular port, then the system would fetch all the dependancies automatically unless you specifically ask it not to do so. Just go through the vmware manual to get an idea about how to configure vmware. You need not worry about the installation. To get apps to work you sometimes most do some configuration. Apache, php, samba, ect. are all examples of this. Usaly its all about editing one or more configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ and some times /etc/ and getting startup scripts to work at /usr/local/ect/rc.d/.

The reason I was nervous about those portupgrade flags is that in the past portupgrade has made a mess of things, doing too much at a time, and they are not mentioned in the note in the XFree86-4 port. I figured, if it needed those dependency checks it would have said so. Too conservative? I beleave so. Portupgrade can cause problem, but it realy did so for me. A bug does exist currently in ruby that can cause problem running it. The workaround for this is setting the following variables: PORTS_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash PKG_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash The first fix was a dependency on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/ddx.txt which always failed because the file extension is is caps -- ddx.TXT. I made a link so both versions were there and got past that point. The second fix solved a problem building fonts, where one of the make files was trying to run perl with a program called ucs2any. This stopped with Unrecognized character \177 at /usr/X11R6/bin/ucs2any line 1. On my system, that file is a binary; there is a ucs2any.pl in the same directiry. I renamed the bin and linked the .pl to the no -extension version, and the fonts built perfectly. I admire you devotion.
