Openvpn question
Installed Openvpn on my freebsd server. Had to revoke a certificate already. The Openvpn howto guide says to add crl-verify crl.pem to the server config script. Is that the openvpn server config script or the openssl config script (I self generate certificates) ? Been googling and searching but can't find a definitive answer. Thanks and I know this is not strictly a Freebsd question. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Which install ?

If it is an older server then i386 is probably the right version to use. The recent processors from Intel that use the 'Xeon' name also support amd64, but older ones did not. If memory serves, the first Xeon to be 64 bit was the Nocona. Xeons prior to that were 32 bit and came in OLGA 603 sockets. In early 2001 they were 1.4 to 1.7GHz units, and later that year the speeds ramped up. There have been many 'Xeon' processors before that. The first ones were the Pentium II Xeon for Slot 2 and ran at a most impressive 400 MHz. There have been many variants after that using Slot 2, Socket 603, Socket 604, Socket 775, Socket 771, and probably some more socket type which I have missed. The Slot 2 and Socket 603 models do not have 64-bit support. Some of the Socket 604 models have 64-bit support, while I believe all the Socket 775 and Socket 771 models have 64-bit support. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors for what looks like a fairly complete list of them all, which should illustrate fairly well why it is pretty much meaningless to just say that you have a 'Xeon' processor. Erik Trulsson ertr1...@student.uu.se After looking at the referenced wiki and my system, I believe I have a supermicro SuperServer 6012L-6. It has (2) Xeon 512K L2 Prestonia processors. They are Installed in a P4DLR+ motherboard which has 603 pin sockets. From this, I believe I should install the i386 version of Freebsd. Do I have to do anything to enable multi-processors in Freebsd ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org No virus found in this incoming message.

Wordpress Port Question

CPu Questions
Greetings, Looking to purchase a server that I will run Freebsd on. It will be a FAMP server. I am trying to decide buying used or new. Used server has (2) Xeon 2.8GHZ processors with 512K cache.

Samba, windows PDC and BDC
Greetings, I currently have a NT4 Server running as the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) on my windows based network. The hardware that this is running on is quite old and starting to come apart. To address this, I have decided not to do AD yet, and defintely not do NT4. I have installed 6.2-release on a newer server, and would like to install Samba on the machine. Set it up as Backup Domain Controller and then change its roll to Primary Domain Controller. This is so I can get the existing security, accounts, etc from the existing domain to the new machine. Anybody have a good tutorial or link ? Google yielded lots of neat stuff, but nothing that hit home on this situation. thanks for any help, Darryl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, the DHCP server is a rather lightweight daemon and will not add much load to your current system. And yes, one could reboot the machine acting as your DHCP server without screwing up the clients which have already gotten a IP/lease.

Firewall throughput question
Greetings, I have had a Freebsd firewall (Older computer with (1) 3com 10Mb ethernet PCI card, and (1) 3 com 10/100 Mb ethernet PCI card). The firewall croaked on me (motherboard died). As a quick fix, I plugged in a Linksys BEFSX41. My Question is, should I build a new Freebsd firewall or just continue using the Linksys ? Throughput and security are my concern. I can have up to 20 machines on the LAN at one time using the internet, so traffic throughput is a factor. Anyway, my inclination is to build a new freebsd firewall, but don't want to do the work if the Linksys is good enough.

Well, I pulled one of the nic out, and have been trying to do a full install from ftp. So, I boot using the (2) floppies. Go through the standard install (blow away partition, create, etc). When I get to the media source and choose FTP, then selected the default ftp.freebsd.org. I tries, and comes back to the media selection screen. I have tried (last night) all the USA ftp servers with the same result. Tried a different NIC. Same result. Tried a different port on my switch. Same result. I can see it talking as the activity lights are blinking. I am configuring the NIC with a static internal IP of 192.168.1.77 (my internal LAN uses 192.168.1.X). I set the gateway IP to my gateway (192.168.1.75). All my machines can see the internet and each other (except this box I'm working on). Any ideas on the culprit ? thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/var/log/messages question
Greetings, I have a 4.4-stable box configured as my firewall running IPFilter and doing nat and routing to the internet. I keep getting: Mar 16 13:10:09 darryl /kernel: arplookup 10.2.2.2 failed: host is not on local network in my /var/log/messages file. It is coming from my DSL facing interface. I used ethereal to capture packets and determine the MAC address. Turns out to be a vendor testpoint on some OSI gear the ISP is using. They cannot correct this problem. ARP comes way before IPFilter, therefore I do not believe it can be filtered. Is there anything I can do to prevent these warnings/errors from clogging up my log files ? thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Block ARP messages
Greetings, I have a 4.4-stable box that is a firewall/router/nat box for my Lan. I keep getting the following message: /kernel arplookup 10.2.2.2 failed. Host is not on local network. My external Nic is configured with a real IP, and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. This is static and configured per the ISP's instruction. My internal nic is statically configured to use the 192.168.1.4 ip address with the netmask of 255.255.255.0. netstat -rn shows nothing odd or out of the ordinary. How can I supress these messages as they fill my log and console. thanks in advance, Darryl. BTW, I think these messages are generated prior to IPFilter ever getting in the picture. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CVSUP question
Greetings, I installed 5.1-release on a box. I installed cvsup from ports. I then copied /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/stable-sup /etc. I changed the file to point to a CVS server near me. The notes I was reading were specific to Freebsd 4.6. Since I had 5.1 installed I guessed I needed to choose RELENG_5 to track 5.1 stable. I then added the following lines to the bottom of the file: ports-www tag=. ports-net tag=. ports-security tag=. ports-sysutils tag=. I then did a cvsup /etc/stable-supfile. The system trundled away, showing on the screen file deletions, etc. When it finished (without any errors, and telling me it was sucessful), I tried to cd /usr/src. The directory was gone. Hmm So, I modified the stable-sup file to use RELENG_5_1. Then did a cvsup /etc/stable-supfile. But once it connected to the cvsup server, it just hung. If I want to track 5.1-stable, what should I use ? thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Add a gateway
Greetings, I am running FreeBSD 4.7-stable on a computer. It is configured to be my firewall. My IPS changed the technology to access my DSL. How do I define a gateway for an interface ? thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yep, route add default ip.of.new.gw works like a champ. How do I make it perminent ? Just add the defaultgateway=ip.of.new.gw ? thanks, Darryl (ah, 1.5Mb is sooo nice) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Firewall DSL performance
Well, last night I changed the ipf.rules file to be: pass in all keep state pass out all keep state to completely open my firewall to test my performance. Well, it didn't make a lick of difference. Still got 700K. If I open the firewall like I did, shouldn't performance be a non issue ? thanks, Darryl -Original Message- From: Mike Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 11:55 AM To: Darryl Hoar Subject: Re: Firewall DSL performance Darryl Hoar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Problem: Recently, our ISP upgraded (at no charge) our connection from 512K to 1.5Mb.

For example, if you put a gigabit ethernet card in a P4 and one in a P2, you will most likely not get full speed - especially if there is kernel level packet interception going, e.g. ipsec, nat, or firewall filters.

RE: Firewall DSL performance
I didn't mean to imply that ipfilter itself had a performance problem, just that my configuration/hardware exhibited a performance problem once my DSL was boosted to 1.5Mb. There is a box on the side of my house that the fiber is connected to. It has a network port for testing. The tech connected his notebook to this port and saw 1.5Mb performance. There is a cat 5 run from this external box to my office in my basement. There is a jack on the end of this run. The tech connected to this jack and saw roughly 1.48Mb performance. Since both cards in the firewall are 3com 10Mb cards, they won't show 100Mb. When I did an ifconfig -a I see them represented as 10Mb/UTP. I did not see any reference to the duplex mode (half or full). I will examine this to see if it is somehow running in half duplex mode when plugged into my DSL link. From the command line on my firewall, if I ftp down a file, how do I figure the Mbps ? thanks, Darryl -Original Message- From: JJB [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 8:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Firewall DSL performance If the ipfilter firewall had an performance problem, I am sure many people other that you would have been complaining about it. I use ipfilter and have no performance problem. You have to look else where for your problem. Check all the Nic and switches or hubs in the path the test packets flow through to verify they are all operating in full duplex/100 mode. Then start with the gateway box and run native FTP to your public FTP site and see what the through put is there. If it bad then you have isolated the problem to the nic card that connects you to the DSL modem. Greater details about how you test from the lan is needed to help you. Also an detailed description of just what you mean by your statements Testing at the box on the side of my house yielded 1.5Mb. Testing at the jack inside also yielded 1.5Mb. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Darryl Hoar Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 9:10 AM To: 'Mike Jackson' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Firewall DSL performance Well, last night I changed the ipf.rules file to be: pass in all keep state pass out all keep state to completely open my firewall to test my performance.

Firewall DSL performance
Greetings, I have a dedicated older box that is running Freebsd 4.7-stable, IPFilter and nat for my home network. It has a 3com 10Mb ethernet adapter plugged into the dsl jack (we don't have /need dsl modems as we have fiber to the house). The other NIC in the firewall is another 3com 10Mb which is plugged into my Linksys 10/100 switch. Problem: Recently, our ISP upgraded (at no charge) our connection from 512K to 1.5Mb. When testing from a computer on my Lan, I was only seeing about 700K. Testing at the box on the side of my house yielded 1.5Mb. Testing at the jack inside also yielded 1.5Mb. So, my firewall seems to be slowing things down. I am using CAT5 cabling, and quality jacks and patch cables (hubble). Any ideas where to start on determining what is causing this slow down ? A friend that also has the service is running Windows 2000 Pro, Norton firewall and zone alarm and has no problem getting 1200K. thanks for ideas, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Firewall setup tutorial
Greetings, I have used in the past http://www.schlacter.net/ as a guide to setting up my firewall.
