FreeBSD 7.0 and DummyNet

Re: Where to rent the best dedicated servers?
I recommend MediaTemple (http://www.mediatemple.net). Great customer service and they communicate any problems or issues via the blog so you can have it in an RSS feed which is nice.

On Thu, 2005-12-29 at 09:09 -0600, Dan Nelson wrote: In the last episode (Dec 29), Ray Seals said: So plug it in and run tcpdump :) Well, that's what I did. When you connect the 2 ports they never show a connection but they pass traffic. This is because by default they are in Mode 0. Oh, I forgot to mention the modes: Mode 0: Niagara 2261 in this mode, powers up with Ethernet port 1 and Ethernet port 2 connected together and the Intel Giga bit controller off line. In order to set the two ports to send and receive data traffic from Intel Giga bit MAC and function as a dual giga bit NIC card, the on board local CPU expects to receive a heartbeat signal from the host at a pre-programmed interval. In the event that the local CPU does not receive the heartbeat it removed the Intel Giga bit MAC from the data path and connects the two Ethernet ports. For detail on local on board CPU please refer section 2.4 Mode 1: Niagara 2261 in mode 1, powers up with Ethernet port 1 and Ethernet port 2 not connected together but operate independently similar to dual giga bit cards. In order to bypass the Intel Giga bit controller and short the two ports together, the local CPU expects to receive a heartbeat from the host. For detail on local on board CPU please refer section 2.4 Mode 2: Niagara 2261 in mode 2 functions similar to dual giga bit NIC cards. Each port is independent of the other one. No heartbeat is required. So it looks like the key here is to setup a heartbeat function so they can go active. I also thought about setting the card to mode 2 just to play around with tcpdump on 2 different segments, but I could do that with 2 gig nics I have laying on my desk. I've contacted the manufacturer and actually have a contact person to talk to there (via e-mail). I'm going to ask if they are opposed to open source development or anything like that.

Is there a Freebsd equivalent to this Linux header file
I'm not a programmer, but I trying to learn a few things. I have a Niagara 2261 pass through nic and I need to change it's operating mode. It came with the source code and header files for a command line utility which allows me to change operation modes on the card. Along with the documentation. The card is recognized under the 'em' network driver. I have all the errors down except for one. The error is 'SIOCDEVPRIVATE' undeclared (first use in this function). Doing some research I found that the linux header file sockios.h defines this.

Securing the FreeBSD Console by removing OS Version
I don't want the console to display the OS version number. I have removed the %h variable from gettytab for my remote login users. Where can I remove this info from the Console screen? -- Ray Seals [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
pam_smb on a 5.1 box
I'm trying to get pam_smb working on a 5.1 install. This is a clean install of FreeBSD. I just using this machine for this test. Here is what I've done so far: 1. I installed pam_smb from the ports collection. 2. Copied pam_smb.conf.example to pam_smb.conf in /usr/local/etc/ 3. Edited the pam_smb.conf file the oneline looks like this: office,pdc1,bdc2 4. Made sure I could ping pdc1 and bdc1 by name. 5. added a line to the top of my login file in the /etc/pam.d directory: authrequiredpam_smb_auth.so 6. added a file to my /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory for auto startups. Now at this point when the machine reboots I login as root from the console. I run TCPDUMP host pdc1 or host bdc1 and watch that. I then login to another console screen with a regular user name. I don't see any traffic going to either pdc or bdc box. Any thoughts? -- Ray Seals [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Arp cache needs clearing or machine stops responding
I have a FreeBSD 5.0 box running IPFW in the OPEN configuration mode. Using natd to hide my inside addresses. The Internet connection will work fine for about 5 minutes and then stop. When I mean stop, the internal interface will allow me to ssh to it but when I try to ping something on the Internet, no response. The only way to get it to work again is to clear the arp cache for the default gateway entry. Currently I have a cron job setup to clear it every minute. Any ideas on why this would happen? -- Ray Seals [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Instaling on a Compaq Proliant with SmartArray 221
I just installed 5.0 on a Compaq 360 with no problems. It booted from the CD just fine. It has a SmartArray controller in it also. I should be able to test it on a DL 380 soon. I did have problems with an old Compaq Proliant Dual Pentium Pro box with SmartArray controller. I had to boot from a floppy. Ray On Sat, 2003-02-08 at 14:32, Daxbert wrote: I'm having problems with Compaq Hardware as well. I don't know if this helps you, but the Compaq SmartArray Adapters have a service partition which must be the boot-partition. Only installed linux on these machines so far. I know that you have to configure the boot-partition for your OS but don't remember if freebsd was an option. Actually you don't. The Compaq diagnostic partition doesn't have to be installed. I've installed W2K, Linux, and FreeBSD 4.x w/o the diagnostic partition. It can make your life easier, because you then don't need the Smart Start CD to make BIOS changes, but that's about it. My problem is with FreeBSD 5.0. Obviously something has changed, which is keeping 5.0's install CD, from booting on certain Compaq hardware. --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message -- Ray Seals [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: FreeBSD stuff
I can highly recommend http://www.bsdmall.com Chris runs a good shop over there. I can also recommend their training. I went to training in Salt Lake City in June. I can also recommend http://www.freebsdmall.com. I haven't ordered anything from them in a while but I have had good luck in the past. Ray On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 00:29, Morten olson wrote: Hi.

Re: FreeBSD and Wireless Networking
I have been able to connect my FreeBSD 4.6 Laptop to both Cisco Aironet access points as well as the cheaper Linksys WAP11 (which I own). I have used both Intel Wireless PCMCIA nics as well as Linksys. The Intel card was a little tricky but I was running FreeBSD 4.4 then.

Re: Problems saving documents in StarOffice 6.0
I found a fix and it's bizarre but it works: touch /usr/compat/linux/etc/mtab StarOffice needs this zero length file to work. I did that and it works like a dream.

I can successfully open up .xls .doc and other files. I can print these documents to my network laser printer. The problem begins when I try to save a document. Every time that I try to save a document I get this error message: /home/trseals does not exist Which is correct, because it should be /usr/home/trseals. Does anyone have a similar problem. I have installed StarOffice as both my user and as root to see if the problem is different, but it still won't let me save a document. Yup. It has a problem seeing directories. In the dialog box they look like zero length files. I bought the package too as I was hoping they fixed this as I reported it to them in the Beta period. They didn't. When I reported it to them last week I got the email below today. Looks like we are S.O.L. from Sun on this. Is this a known Linux emulation problem?
