Regular Freezes
Yo; My FreeBSD 6.1 gateway box keeps freezing totally. It seems to happen when there's a large burst of network traffic on my internal interface (i.e. download, flash movie, I-radio). I've already done a memtest, and it came out clean. Any ideas as to what logs might help me trouble shoot?

I tried ProFTP, and had problem after problem. When I figured out how to fix one error, I had another, after another, after another. Are there any good alternatives? I am using FreeBSD-4.8. Also, how do you get Apache to point to a specific directory? And, how would I use multipule domains on the single machine, pointing them to a separate directory? Would I need multipule domains? I am attempting to use FreeBSD as a http server, ftp server, PHPbb server, and possibly an IRC server. I would be using at least two domains to start, and possibly another two within a couple of months. Well you're certainly biting off more than most people could chew. You not only are new to FreeBSD but also to ftp and http. Hopefully you have some substantial Unix experience. If not, then you need to stop now and find a knowledgeable friend. You need to read the Apache config docs and learn how to create virtual domains on a web server. You need to learn how to set up a server securely. Who's going to handle dns for this(these) domain(s)? If you're really going to run an IRC server, you need to be even *more* knowledgeable. You have a lot of work ahead of you, and a lot of heatache if you don't do it right.

Almost brand new to UNIX I got an FTP, HTTP, and ASP .NET server running fine and securely, and granted it took some time and frustration, I learned alot (But still have alot more to learn, and that was on Linux anyway). However, at this stage in my education (Read: none, not *NIX-wise, anyway), FreeBSD is proving to be too much for me (Still haven't managed to get the firewall to do what I thought I told it to do, haven't even tried to setup FTP yet, ASP .NET server doesn't work period, etc) to chew :-). I think FreeBSD is an awesome OS, and I'm sure I'll come back to it later, but this week I'm moving my server back to Debian 'till I learn a bit more about the nitty-gritty stuff. Cheerio!

IPFW config
Heya; I have a FreeBSD 5.3 server that I access over SSH. I followed the handbook guide to loading the ipfw kernel module to setup a firewall. I made the mistake the other day of loading the firewall, which defaults to block all, and rebooting, so I couldn't get into the system again (Had to drive in and fix it :-P). Anyway, what I need to know is how to edit the ruleset manually BEFORE enabling the firewall. I need to set the rules, then load the kernel module, not vise versa. I've never dealt with ipfw without webmin, so I need some explicit answers :-). What I need to do its this: Set IPFW to allow traffic on ports 80, 1, and 23 (That's the default SSH port, right?) Then start IPFW with the kernel module (I know how to do this) Thanx, SigmaX -- Registered Linux Freak #: 366,862 If you think of MS-DOS as mono, and Windows as stereo, then Linux is Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound with Bass Boost and all the music is free. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well... *ahem*... I put the above script into /etc/ipfw.rules and did
kldload ipfw.ko sh /etc/ipfw.rules. I lost connectivity to the
server. Did the above script only open those ports to localhost or
something? I can go in tonight and fix it from the local computer, but
I'd like to know what to do when I get there. I need to have
connectivity to said ports from the internet... apparently I don't :-P.
Cheerio,
