If you have a spare partition on your system, then you can try the depinguinator: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2008-01-29-depenguinator-2.0.html The depinguinator helps you to create a FreeBSD install image, that has SSH enabled by default. You can boot into that system and use it as an install medium for your FreeBSD installation.

dhcp + vpnc results in broken routes (routing loop)
Dear list members, i'm running FreeBSD 7.0 BETA-2 on a laptop within a network that assigns addresses from 10.32.136.0/24 via dhcp to it's members. After obtaining the 10.32.136.0/24 address, we are supposed to connect to a vpn-gateway using e.g. vpnc. After connecting to the gateway the laptop gets a valid public IP address, which is used to connect to the internet. This works pretty well, until dhclient tries to get a new private address from the dhcp-server. After that i get a message similar to Nov 6 11:43:26 fitu vpnc[5560]: routing loop to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the ip address of the vpn-gateway) Here's what happens to routing table. After invoking dhclient for the first time, i get this table (ipv4 part only): Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default10.32.136.254 UGS 03 iwi0 10.32.136.0/24 link#1 UC 00 iwi0 10.32.136.254 00:12:43:a2:f2:c0 UHLW20 iwi0 1188 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 00lo0 Looking at the arp tables i get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/lothar]# arp -a ? (10.32.136.254) at 00:12:43:a2:f2:c0 on iwi0 [ethernet] When i start vpnc, the routing table changes to: Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default134.2.166.51 UGS 00 tun0 10.32.136.0/24 link#1 UC 00 iwi0 10.32.136.254 00:12:43:a2:f2:c0 UHLW20 iwi0 1174 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 00lo0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxxUH 10 tun0 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy10.32.136.254 UGHS00 iwi0 where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my new public ip address and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the vpn gatways address. Everything works fine (aka. i can normally connect to the internet), until dhclient tries to get a new lease: Nov 6 11:24:36 fitu dhclient: New IP Address (iwi0): 10.32.136.128 Nov 6 11:24:36 fitu dhclient: New Subnet Mask (iwi0): 255.255.255.0 Nov 6 11:24:36 fitu dhclient: New Broadcast Address (iwi0): 10.32.136.255 Nov 6 11:24:36 fitu dhclient: New Routers (iwi0): 10.32.136.254 Nov 6 11:24:48 fitu vpnc[3108]: routing loop to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy Nov 6 11:24:48 fitu last message repeated 212 times where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is still the vpn gateway. (note that the problem occurs even if the new ip address is exactly the same as the old address). The routing table changed to: Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire defaultxxx.xxx.xxx.xxxUGS 0 570 tun0 10.32.136.0/24 link#1 UC 00 iwi0 10.32.136.254 link#1 UHLW10 iwi0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 00lo0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxxUH 10 tun0 and arp -a does provide: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/lothar]# arp -a ? (10.32.136.254) at (incomplete) on iwi0 [ethernet] One can see that the vpn-gateways ip address and the local routers mac address disappeared. The same dhcp/vpnc configuration does work without problems on a linux box on the same network. Can someone tell me where i have to look to find the error? I'm wondering if this a problem with my local setup, a problem within the network, a problem with vpnc on FreeBSD, or a problem with FreeBSD itself? Can i provide any additional information?

Maybe http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsAndXEmacs can help you to understand the differences. There's also a small discussion about when to use Emacs and when to use XEmacs. But in your case you only have the possibility to use emacs. Only emacs is able to work on the plain console. Regards, Lothar pgpwZjIPhky85.pgp Description: PGP signature

You therefore need all these versions of autoconf and automake. db4-4.0.14_1,1 The Berkeley DB package, revision 4 db42-4.2.52_5 The Berkeley DB package, revision 4.2 This might be a similar problem. If you look at the ports, then you will see that there are quite a few versions of the db package available. Maybe there are ports that depend on 4.0 and won't work with 4.2. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to remove the older version. gnupg-1.4.6_3 The GNU Privacy Guard gnupg-2.0.1 The GNU Privacy Guard You can savely remove gnupg-1.4.6_3. Version 1.4.6_3 was the gnupg port and 2.0.1 was the gnupg-devel port. Version 1.4.6_3 is now obsolete and you can savely remove it. I used partupgrade -aF recently when, on reconsideration, it would have been better to have done portupgrade -F on specific ports! What is the safest way to remove the earlier versions?

aclocal19 doesn't find macros
Hi list, i'm trying to work on a configure.ac which contains the line AM_PATH_XML2(2.4.0,,AC_MSG_ERROR([*** LibXML version $XML_VERSION not found!])) When i process it with aclocal15 everything works fine. But if i take aclocal19 for that job, i'll get the error message: aclocal:configure.ac:8: warning: macro `AM_PATH_XML2' not found in library This seems to be because of [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/]$ aclocal19 --print-ac-dir /usr/local/share/aclocal19 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/]$ aclocal15 --print-ac-dir /usr/local/share/aclocal If i run aclocal19 --acdir=/usr/local/share/aclocal i get the message aclocal:configure.ac:3: warning: macro `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' not found in library What can i do to make that work (using aclocal15 isn't an option because automake19 won't work together with it)?

Any clues on this? I have never see this betwe. I had this problem when DNS was broken for the FreeBSD server and the MacOS X client. Make sure the DNS you're using can resolve both forward and reverse for the client and the server. Then your ssh session will be fast and free of this error. If you're not able (or don't want to =)) fix the DNS, you can reconfigure the sshd on the server. Add UseDNS no to it's /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart the ssh daemon (this will make sshd stop to look up the hostnames of the connecting clients) Best regards, Lothar pgpsyuWBrbhd8.pgp Description: PGP signature
