Re: Communication (Mail Gateway concept) with MS Exchange
Try this http://imgate.meiway.com/ it works with pretty much anything behind the mailgate. I'm currently using it on a FBSD with Postfix, Amavisd-new and McAfee for Unix. Works great. the box does Spam/Virus filtering then passes on the good mail to the actual mail server. If you need to know more, join the mailing list.

At this point, I do not want to point MX records to our Internet connection and direct SMTP traffic into our LAN, for many obvious reasons, in addition to our existing configuration - with our Internet email being hosted externally and downloaded via POP3. I would prefer to consolidate down to one (currently approx. 40 separate POP3 user mailboxes for this one domain) catch-all POP3 mailbox at our email host, and then have an app POP3 that mailbox down to a FreeBSD server, perform AV SPAM processing, then somehow deliver that mail to the appropriate user on the Exchange server based on the headers of the email messages. Anyone experienced, heard, or have any ideas?

All I want to do is use a laptop in a local network to be an X client connected to a more powerful desktop machine. I'm not worried about security. Is xhosts and the DISPLAY variable all I need? Or do I need to go through all of the xdm configuration hoops? The machine you're actually sitting at needs to be running X-terminal software, that is X server and xdm or some equivalent. X applications can be run on either machine for control from there. In my opinion ssh is a much tidier way than rsh/xhost for running X applications remotely. Have a look at the special options in ssh for X transport in the man page, particularly -X and -f. xfig I only know as a (rather good) vector based drawing program but is just an ordinary X application without any special connection with operating across the network.

weird
I tried installing 4.9 on an old gateway machine. specs: intel chip, 500 MHz. 256 RAM and 30 Gig HD. it would go thru the whole install but than right when it's about to boot into FBSD, it reboots the machine. It just keeps rebooting. I thought it might be the RAM or hardware, but I tried putting other RAM and tried the same install on different old machines. I even tried a different disk, one that I know worked for sure. Same thing. Than I just loaded 4.8 for the heck of it, and it worked. I'm confused. Now, do I want to try to upgrade to 4.9 from 4.8 or just leave 4.8? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have edit the GENERIC file (like is written into the documentation). And when i run /usr/sbin/config /root/kernels/MYKERNEL(this is my kernel) i get a lot of errors Command not found. What is made wrong??? First of all, I presume you really used one line as /usr/sbin/config /root/kernels/MYKERNEL Not two separate command lines as it appears in your message. Secondly, did you make your copy of GENERIC in to the same directory as GENERIC?That is the best idea. Third, on any of the FreeBSD systems I have worked on there is no /root/kernels directory. (If this is something new with 5.x I am off on this as I haven't built a 5.x yet) The kernel config files are in: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (or did you set up some homebrew link?) So, I would expect that there is a file: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL and the best way to run things is to cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL vi MYKERNEL(make whatever changes you need and write+exit vi) /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make depend make [make install] Only if you want the present kernel replaced Now if you have CVSUPed and etc, then you will want to follow those instructions instead of merely building a kernel.

The script below will only show joe if I input the word with.

RAV antivirus
I was wondering if anyone uses RAV antiviruse with FreeBSD and Postfix. I can't get their tech support to tell me how to rotate it's log file using only newsyslog. I entered the entries to newsyslog.conf, but I think that RAV is still rotating the files. I commented out the section that tells RAV how often to rotate the file, and it looks like it rotates the files at ramdom or something. I wasn't able to see what caused the files to rotate. As far as hour, day, size. I want to set the logs for RAV to rotate every Sunday night at Midnight. But the way it's setup, you can't do that. They only give you the option to rotate by the number of hours, days or by size. So if I want to come up with some reports on how many viruses we got for the week, I can't. Unless, I set the file to rotate daily, which would be fine for a week but not for a month. Thanks.

Re: Good way of upgrading from FreeBSD 4.5?
I swear I remember reading something on the FreeBSD site saying that you shouldn't just upgrade from 4.x to 5.0, because it's still kind of in the beta stage and some apps might not work properly.

Both boxes have around 25 users each. Both boxes have tweaked settings in /etc/rc.conf and some other /etc/-files. My question is, if anyone can give a hint on how to upgrade safely from FreeBSD 4.5 to FreeBSD 5.0...? If we download FreeBSD 5.0 and install it on our FreeBSD 4.5 boxes, what will we have to do? Is there risk that all settings, contents and installed applications will be erased? Very thankful for all help on this matter...! -- Regards, Smartnet Sverige AB Johannes Angeldorff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

He wants for me to build couple computers to use on the manufacturing floor using linux or Freebsd. I set up almost the exact same system for a client of mine. They _do_ use Windows, however, and I'll explain why (although I can't say that I think it's the best possible solution). 1) The database that tracks all their engineering data was written in Foxpro (although that's going to change) and Fox only runs on Windows. 2) Their engineering drawings are in AutoCAD. AutoDesk provides the Volo view software that give pan/zoom capabilities in a read-only package. Again, only runs in Windows. And Volo view is free (dollar-wise). 3) The hardware itself was trickled down when the admins got their new computers that were trickled down from engineering. IOW, the computers are about 5 years old, and already had Windows on them from when they were new. The computers will only need a web browser and some type of remote control. How are you going to view CAD files in a web browser? (I'm curious, I may be able to use the info) For remote control, ssh can be scripted to do commands. If you're sure about the security of your network, you could even use rsh. I don't think that they will view CAD drawings. Our webmaster will create an application that will make it easy for the people posting the pictures to load them into the server. The reason is this. We're a manufacturing plant, with of course a manufacturing line. On the lines, they have drawings and schematics, that the workers need to look at. well right now, what they do is print those out and post them at every workstations. what they would like is a computer at every workstation that can use a browser to look at a webpage where the drawings and schematics will be located. I can give you 2 pieces of information on this plan ... 1) It's well worth the time and effort, makes everything easier and more likely to be up to date and correct. 2) It probably won't go as smoothly as you like. We found that the engineer's drawings weren't nearly as organized as they claimed, and the results were mistakes and shop workers sitting around the engineering department while the engineers figured out where the drawings were. The result was also that engineering has gotten a lot more organized ;) They don't feel like spending 500 bucks for a new windows machine, so we figure we could just use our old computers for that. Makes sense. Most shop environments are hell on computers, and they'll have quite a short lifespan. They will also need some type of remote control, they were thinking that one operator would be in charge of connecting to all the computers and opening the webpage. I was thinking of using someting like VNC. Oops ... that may be a tall order for ssh or rsh. You could also set up a single machine and make the rest X-terminals. Now, what would be the best way to accomplish this? He is more geared toward a linux box with redhat, but I would rather setup a computer with Freebsd that would do all the trick. what x-window manager should I use? Were it me, I'd use something plain-jane like Enlightenment or twm or some other minimal WM, to keep them from playing around. what should I use for web browser? Mozilla, Opera, or Galeon. Will using VNC work? Probably, but test the performance first. I was thinking of only connecting a monitor to those workstations and have no keyboards and mouse. How do the users control things then? You're going to have the shop manager control everything completely? Interesting twist. We found it to be very efficient to let the operator control their own computer. But then again, the software I wrote allows them to click on the job they're working on and the drawing they need just pops up ... so the back-end logic is important to the success of that scheme. Yes our plan is to only have one person per assembly line controlling the computers so that they will all see the same thing. I would like to think that if we give them all control over the computers, they would only use it for work, but I find that people like to play around and see what they can get away with. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I appriciate all the help from everyone. I just got off the phone with my supervisor and of course they changed their mind.

Right now I'm just trying to figure out what happen and how to fix. I know for a fact the 13gb drive had over 7gb free, so is there a setting where I can adjust the number of open files? This is not a matter of diskspace. The kernel holds a fixed length table in memory with all open files. If this table gets full it usually means one of two things: 1) You have a runaway application, opening way too many files. Identify the application and fix or disable it. 2) You're running a kernel with a too low value for maxusers (which, among other things, determines the maximum amount of open files). The default in 4.7-RELEASE is 0, which means: optimize according to amount of memory installed. The default is usually O.K. If not, one option is to simply install more memory. cheers, Ruben Jan 22 21:22:18 Fail /kernel: le: table is full Jan 22 21:22:18 Fail /kernel: file: table is full Jan 22 21:22:18 Fail last message repeated 1450 times Jan 22 21:22:18 Fail /kernel: le: table is full Jan 22 21:22:18 Fail /kernel: file: table is full Thank you, Gordon Keesler [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
snmp probe?
I posted this on freebsd forum but didn't get any responces, just alot people viewing it. Maybe I'm missing something or this is such a stupid question that no one want to reply. so I'll try it in here. I just installed portsentry to play with, and after 10 min of setting it on the network I get probe. looking at the message log this is what I see. portsentry[236]: attackalert: Connect from host: 10.x.x.x/10.x.x.x to UDP port: 161 That's the snmp port. the address that it's comming from is just a workstation. Now why would a regular workstation probe me on the snmp port? What could it be? Is it a program on the computer trying to look for a device on the network like a jetdirect? Or virus, trojan trying to spread? I guess I just want to know why it's doing this, and how to prevent it. It may not be a virus or trojan, but it uses bandwidt to broadcast and I just dont like that. Thanks.

The webmin module probably doesn't do this, so you'll have to enter the full path. i.e.: /sbin/mount ass opposed to just mount You can use the whereis command to find the full path to the particular command you're trying to run. i.e. whereis mount will tell you what directory 'mount' is in.

Re: L0phtcrack
Sorry guys, I didn't mean to be so rude. I just took the first couple replies the wrong way. Busy day and MX records not resolving correclty and stuff. I know that it sound suspicious to ask how to crack the windows password, but that is what I need to do, and I really don't have $300 bucks to pay for the new version of l0phcrack. Again the reason why I need this, is because a friend of mine forgot his windows XP admin password. and since it was the only account on there, he can't get back in. He can't affort to reload, because he got stuff on it that he need for school projects and stuff. I don't really know exactly what he's got in it, but he asked me if it was possible to retrieve the password or reset it. I told him it was possible and I've been trying for the last 2 days to do it. I tried the linux boot disk that suppose to reset the admin password, but that didn't work. I think it only works on 2000. then I booted from a win98 boot disk, then use dos ntfs to copy the sam file to a floppy and tried to use john to crack it. It sais that there's 0 passwords, But when I use a hash retriever, it list all the accounts. I noticed that there was a version of l0phtcrack on freebsd /usr/ports/security/l0phtcrack, and wanted to see if that helped, but I can't seem to find where it installs it and how I would use it.

Re: L0phtcrack
I did thought about reinstalling the OS. In the past with 2000, I had to do this and it kept all the files, but this is not my computer and I don't think that the person would like very much if I erased everything. I forgot to mention that it was a laptop and the OS was preinstalled. Yes, otherwise I would of pulled the hard drive and put it in another machine. I remember seeing some adapters that you could take a laptop hardrive and connect it to a reular IDE cable and power supply on a tower. That was along time ago and I don't even know where I could find something like that anymore. especially if I don't even know what it's called. Another reason why, I wasn't too excited about reloading, is now a day, the laptops are partitioned funny. They come with an extra fat partition, and if you remove that or mess it up, you can't even use the recovery disk that comes with them. It happened to one of my friends. He was made his partition bigger erasing that one, and he coudn't use the recovery disk anymore. they had to send him the all the disks , ( 3 I think. ). I finaly found where the l0phtcrack program was located in FBSD, but when I run it, it says that it's an Invalid format. Now If I use one of those hash recovery programs, it shows the username and the hases, but I dont' even know what to do with that. I starting to think that this is a lost cause. - Original Message - From: Derrick Ryalls [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 10:36 PM Subject: RE: L0phtcrack Unless your friend encrypted his data, he shouldn't need a password cracker.

Method 2: Reinstall the O/S without formatting. This repaints the O/S and gives you a chance to assign admin password.

Re: Dual-Boot Windows 2000 and FreeBSD 4.6
I don't believe that you need to use something like partition magic. You can just specify the partition or slice size for windows when you install it and leave the rest untouch. Then when you go to install FBSD you will see the DOS partition and unused slices. Don't touch the DOS slice, it is the win2k stuff. Create a FBSD slice using the unused space. You have to remember to use a boot manager. I prefer FBSD's. If you don't do that, you have to go in windows and edit a file that I forgot the name in order to dual boot. - Original Message - From: Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Visotheary Riviere-Ung [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 9:07 AM Subject: Re: Dual-Boot Windows 2000 and FreeBSD 4.6 Hi, I have only one hard disk and I want to make a dual-boot Windows 2K and FreeBSD. How can I do it? My first attempt had erased W2K. Is there a fix for this? Thanks for your help Well, if you installed the FreeBSD over the top of the W2K slice, then it is gone. You will have to reinstall it. To do a dual boot, you need at least two primary slices - one for the W2k and one for FreeBSD. Then, you want to have the Microsloth stuff installed first - if you try to install it second, it will almost certainly ignore what you have already installed and clobber it. So, reinstall W2K if it has been wiped. Now, you take the system with W2k installed and use a utility to shrink the W2k slice (MS stuff calls them partitions) and make room for a FreeBSD slice. Then use the utility or the FreeBSD install utility (/stand/sysinstall which is what is running when you install from FreeBSD CD or install floppies) or use fdisk(8) to turn that freed up space in to a slice and install FreeBSD on it. The utility for shrinking W2K and other slice/partition management that I am familier with is Partition Magic. It works and isn't too expensive. There are others, some even cheaper. There are also freeware utilities but the free ones I have seen can't handle NTFS type files systems and that is probably what your W2k is using. Partition Magic has pretty good instructions with it, but it uses all MS terminology, so slices become partitions and it doesn't know about UNIX partitions. Now, if you did properly create a slice for FreeBSD and installed FreeBSD in it and didn't wipe out the W2K, then maybe you only messed up the slice table. You might be able to use either Partition Magic or one of the other utilities that manage disk slices/partitions to remake the slice table without reinstalling anything.

This is what I did. make -DWITH_MYSQL -DWITH_FLEXRESP then make install That's what it said to do. Don't know what it actually does. It looks like it's telling snort to install and know to talk to mysql. I don't recall seing a subdirectory of snort-1.8.7. so what does this command do anyways.
