Re: Backspace

2007-08-13 Thread d . Z .
Thanks for helping everybody.

But actually I'm using Bourne shell on FreeBSD 6.1 just like the
Solaris in lab, and the FreeBSD is freshly installed, I have checked
.shrc and .profile, but nothing related to key bindings or stty's
there, so what I thought it should be is:

after I login - [press backspace] - ^H appears - [press DEL] - ^? appears
in emacs - [press backspace] - oops, help appears

I think Solaris was just like the above. But in my FreeBSD, things go like:

after I login - [press backspace will erase last char] - [press DEL
does the same thing]
no matter what have I done to stty like stty erase ^H and stty
erase2 ^H, the result is just the same, backspace and DEL still can
be used to erase last char in shell. The only difference is in emacs,
but I searched the net and found that emacs relies on its own
definition of key bindings in ~/.emacs file (it is empty in this
case), rather than the terminal key bindings. Totally confused.

Any idea? Thanks again for you kind people.

  Applications like the shell you use interpret the terminal definition and
  may or may not use the same key assignments.  Most applications like the
  shells in UNIX environments have startup files to customize the key
  assignments and in the case of editors even define macros.

 And those startup files are:

For csh and tcsh  (tcsh is the most common one in FreeBSD)
the startup file is .cshrc  in one's home directory.  You can also
create a system-wide one.

For SH and bash it is .profile  and for them don't forget to export
any variables.

uncalled for reboot

2006-12-23 Thread Z. Wade Hampton
Greetings to all,
I am attempting to run cvsup-without-gui on a Dell Inspiron 1501, with amd64x2 
processor and 2GbRAM.
I am using the ports-supfile modified to suit location and RELENG_6_1.

The process begins, and starts deleting the old stuff...no problem.
Then, about 10 minutes into it, the system reboots all by itself - no apparent 
reason.

Any ideas?

 You need to gather and provide considerably more information, unless
 there's someone on list who is psychic.  FreeBSD version, hardware
 data, etc ...

Thanks Bill.  I'll keep that in mind.
I think I have the problem figured out.
*base=/var/db
was set in the supfile. 

After changing it to /usr, the problem went away.

Regards,
ZWH



 However, spontaneous reboots are almost always hardware problems.  Have
 you verified that your RAM, hard drive, cooling, power, and all other
 hardware factors are in proper operation?  That would be the first
 logical step in diagnosing this.

nonstandard ports

2006-12-20 Thread Z. Wade Hampton
Hello to all,
Not long ago, I ran cvsup successfully.
In the example cvs-supfile, the following opening lines exist:

# base=/var/db
#   This specifies the root where CVSup will store information
#   about the collections you have transferred to your system.
#   A setting of /var/db will generate this information in
#   /var/db/sup.  Even if you are CVSupping a large number of
#   collections, you will be hard pressed to generate more than
#   ~1MB of data in this directory.  You can override the
#   base setting on the command line with cvsup's -b base
#   option.  This directory must exist in order to run CVSup.
#
# prefix=/home/ncvs
#   This specifies where to place the requested files.  A
#   setting of /home/ncvs will place all of the files
#   requested in /home/ncvs (e.g., /home/ncvs/src/bin,
#   /home/ncvs/ports/archivers).  The prefix directory
#   must exist in order to run CVSup.



I attempted running cvsup with base and prefix locations other than the 
ones stated above; and, it did not work.

However, when I edited the supfile as described above, the whole process ran 
to completion, successfully.

Well, now I have an updated ports tree in /home/ncvs/ports instead 
of /usr/ports.

So, my question this morning is what do I do with that?  Do I 
treat /home/ncvs/ports as if it were /usr/ports?

Do I copy the entire /home/ncvs/ports directory to /usr/ports for updated 
ports?

Thank you in advance for directives.

buildkernel error

Hello to all,
I have MY_KERNEL in the following location...

cvsup and amd64

2006-12-14 Thread Z. Wade Hampton
Greetings to all,
I'm running a dell 1501 laptop with amd64x2 processor.
I got a disk from a guru specifically for this architecture, booted it, and 
installed 6.1 via FTP.

Yesterday I ran cvsup successfully.
Today I did make buildworld successfully.

Now, I have a little paranoia about buildkernel.

Please tell me, did I need to specify anything specifically about the amd64 
architecture when running cvsup?  Did I possibly get a GENERIC kernel file 
through cvsup that is not compatible with amd?

Anxious in Montana,

strange events

2006-10-25 Thread Z. Wade Hampton
Greetings to all,
And, please forgive me if this is a bone-head question(s).

I'm running, once again after 4 years, freebsd 4.2.

In KDE, with netscape or kfm I can only access my own web domain, which is
www.oldpathsbaptistchurch.org

No matter what else I put into the URL box and submit, it trys to find the
other URLs, but then resorts back to www.oldpathsbaptistchurch.org.
I must have done something wrong in initial setup/config, but after
checking through lots of stuff, I see no reason for this to happen.

Also, I get STOP error code 1s when I try to make lynx from the ports
collection.

Could someone have a little pity on this old stoner from the 60's and lend
some advice?

Thanks in advance,

ccd usage

2005-06-23 Thread Dan Z
Greetings,

I'm planning a new install and my question regards the usage of ccd. 
I have two disks of 30G and 20G.  Is it possible to use ccd to create
a single /usr partition across these two disks?  How might this be
done?  Can it be done from the sysinstall menu off the boot disk or
will I need to do some toying around after initial install is
completed?

Also, while not part of the ccd question, if I'm not mistaken, I can
create multiple swap partitions to spread swap usage across multiple
drives.  Is this true?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thank you for your replies gentlemen, this post is a bit old, I have
already built my FreeBSD NAT box and configured IPFW...I am currently
building a new kernel configuration for the machine to include IPDIVERT,
IPFIREWALL and a few other system specific modifications.
If I have any questions concerning this issue, I will include you both

|
|I know you've said you don't want to use tunnelling, but

|
|
| http://www.linux.ie/articles/tutorials/ssh.php
|
| One other point: you're going to have problems if you're using
| 192.168.0.0 as the IP number on your FreeBSD machine. That's the
| *network* address, and shouldn't be applied directly to any specific
| machine. If you're running your internal network using 192.168.0.0/24 as
| the address space, then you have 254 addresses (from 192.168.0.1 to
| 192.168.0.254) to use for client machines, since 192.168.0.0 (network
| address) and 192.168.0.255 (broadcast address) are reserved as part of

NAT / ipfw / GW - FreeBSD 4.10 to Linux Private Network???

2004-08-14 Thread Hakim Z. Singhji
Hello All,
So with the help of all of you I have configure my FreeBSD 4.10 gateway.
I am able to ping, tracerout, ssh and call webpages with a fully
functioning DHCP client. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart,
those of you that helped me out... its been hardwork and late nights (or
early mornings) building these computers from scratch and then
introducing them with Linux and FreeBSD OS's which I have only a
combined year of experience.
With that said I have come to the final component of my network... the
NAT component. I was trying to play around with it until I found out
that I really didn't know what I was doing... so here I am again.
I'm trying to configure one box through NAT via my FreeBSD gateway. I
figure after I do it once I'll be able to tweak it for the rest of my
machines. This is my set up
[internet] - [firewall/gateway] -- [ linux box ]
24.199.105.0--  192.168.1.1 -   192.168.1.3
(   dc0   )  (  txp0  ) (  eth0  )
I'm trying to get internet connection for my linux box, and I also want
all pop3, smtp and http passed to my linux box as well.  The freebsd box
is setup to be headless once I get this configured properly. In addition
I would like SSH2 to be able to tunnel from box to box as well as SSH2
outside my network with my Linux box.
I have attached my config files for ipfw.rules, rc.conf, and natd.conf
however natd.conf is where I am lost I don't exactly know the rules
for natd.conf. I reviewed my resources: The Complete FreeBSD by Greg
Lehey and Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas however there was not much on
the actual syntax. If someone could help me in these areas it would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance...

Re: DHCP and rc Questions For FreeBSD 4.10???

2004-08-12 Thread Hakim Z. Singhji
Bill  FreeBSD-Questions,

This configuration is not as intuitive as I thought it would be. 
In /etc/rc.conf I added the following strings:


network_interfaces=lo0 dc0
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP


Then I deleted the entries in dhclient.conf and relied on the
default. I started the daemon by [dhclient dc0] and it 
seemed to be processing.  However, that was all that 
happened. When I [ifconfig dc0] I get this return:

#
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig dc0
dc0 flags = 8843UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX,
MULTICAST MTU 1500

ether 00:01:02:c3:40:1a
media Ethernet auto select (100basefull duplex)
status: active
###

Then I tried to ping a host...

###

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ping www.yahoo.com
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ping 24.199.105.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ping www.absolutebsd.org

Ping: Cannot resolve www.yahoo.com 
hostname lookup failure, etc.
###

However somehow when I run a report the system
indicates that UDP packets are being transmitted but the 
statistics are highly skewed at a rate of 
11290 IKPTS : 38 OPKTS

I was reading Greg Lehey's book The Complete 
FreeBSD which happens to have more information on
DHCP,DNS, BIND than Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas and 
Greg says that in order for dhcp to work you must start dhcpd,
am I reading this correctly. I assumed that dhcpd would provide 
DHCP for the private network (in my case), I did not think that
my default gateway would rely on dhcpd in order to function.

Now I have 2 questions:
*must I configure dhcpd now?
*must I configure dns (resolv.conf, named, etc.)?
*does DHCP rely on the two configurations list above to data?

Thank you in advance for your help?

Wrap your likes around 72 characters.

All you need in /etc/rc.conf is:
network_interfaces=lo0 dc0
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP

Everything else you added is just re-affirming the default values.

 Hi All,
 
 I've been researching this issue although it may be minor I don't like to rely on 
 the [EMAIL PROTECTED] unless I have to. I'm sure you understand...anyway, 
 http:www.freebsddiary.com has a tutorial that with info I could not find in The 
 Complete FreeBSD or Absolute BSD. It described two entries; one in dhclient.conf 
 and the other in rc.conf.  See Below:
 
 ###
 dhclient.conf
 ###
 interface dc0{
 send host-name redgate;
 request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers, domain-name, 
 time-servers;
 require domain-name-servers;
 
 ###
 rc.conf
 ###
 ifconfig_dc0=DHCP #IS THIS VARIABLE DECLARATION CASE SENSITIVE???
 hostname=redgate
 
 ###
 
 The question I have now is if this is all I have to do to get dhcp running at 
 startup? I anyone else has any suggestions they are welcome. Unfortunately I cannot 
 test this until the evening so feedback will be very helpful and will save me some 
 time researching.  Thanks in advance.

 Hi All,
 
 I have installed FreeBSD 4.10 to serve as a headless gateway/router/firewall/NAT. 
 The first problem that I have run into can probably be resolved easily. I tried to 
 configure my NIC card via sysinstaller.  However, rc.conf does not have a startup 
 variable for dc0. Therefore dhclient is inoperable.
 
 I built this box to be headless therefore it is low-tech with no floppy or flash 
 drive and is currently a stand-alone machine so I am not able to copy the rc.conf 
 file to this post. dc0 is working because I can bring its status to active 
 manually: '[EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig dc0 ether up'.
 
 I was wondering what what variables should be assigned to rc.conf, the related 
 variables I have thus far are:
 
 ##
 ifconfig_dc0=dhcp
 dhcp_program=/sbin/dhclient
 dhcp_flags= 
 ##
 
 It would be appreciated if someone could attach or copy an rc.conf file for a 
 similar system configuration. Thanks in advance.

Who manages your DHCP server?  The config I described has worked in
every configuration I've ever dealt with (and that's quite a few) so
there is definately something external causing the problem.

I have an Earthlink Highspeed Cable account w/ DHCP Server

Did you install a packet filter when you set this box up?  

Yes, however I turned firewall to [firewall_enable=NO] and commented
all firewall entries in the rc.conf file.

If you don't have a DHCP _server_ on your network, then the DHCP _client_
will not be able to to its job.

Earthlink should provide a DHCP server, when I had my standalone redhat 
box it was configured and I was also receiving DNS as well through earthlink.


What do you suggest I do?

You've gone too far ... there's not use trying to ping anything if you
obviously didn't get a DHCP address.

Who manages your DHCP server?  The config I described has worked in
every configuration I've ever dealt with (and that's quite a few) so
there is definately something external causing the problem.

Did you install a packet filter when you set this box up?  Look through
/etc/rc.conf for anything related to firewall.  Turn off all firewall
rules while you're setting things up.  Once it works, you can start
turning security stuff like that back on.

 I was reading Greg Lehey's book The Complete 
 FreeBSD which happens to have more information on
 DHCP,DNS, BIND than Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas and 
 Greg says that in order for dhcp to work you must start dhcpd,
 am I reading this correctly. I assumed that dhcpd would provide 
 DHCP for the private network (in my case), I did not think that
 my default gateway would rely on dhcpd in order to function.

DHCP only works if there is a DHCP server.  DO NOT run more than 1
DHPC server on a single network or everything is likely to go to hell.

Most cheesy internet routers that people buy include a DHCP server.

If you provide more information about what your network setup is, we
can tell you whether you need a DHCP server or not.  But the simple
answer is: DHCP won't work unless there is a DHCP server somewhere.

 Now I have 2 questions:
 *must I configure dhcpd now?

Maybe not.  Does the network you're plugging in to require DHCP?

 *must I configure dns (resolv.conf, named, etc.)?

No.  If you don't mind using IP addresses for everything.  If you want
to be able to use hostnames (such as www.yahoo.com) then you need DNS.

 *does DHCP rely on the two configurations list above to data?

Huh?

The two lines I provided are enough to configure FreeBSD to be a DHCP
_client_.  Any additional configuration is just tweaking its behaviour
and and is almost never required.

If you don't have a DHCP _server_ on your network, then the DHCP _client_
will not be able to to its job.

If you have a very small network (how many computers are here anyway?)
a DHCP server is probably more work than it's worth.

If you are plugged into a larger network (such a the Internet through an
ISP) then either a) your ISP's DHCP isn't working right or b) your ISP
isn't using DHCP or c) your ISP is doing something to enforce security,
such as registering MAC addresses, and you aren't registered correctly
or d) something bizaar that I've never seen before.

Re: DHCP and rc Questions For FreeBSD 4.10???

2004-08-12 Thread Hakim Z. Singhji
Hi Bill,

What is the output of ipfw show?

I dont know that command? Syntax???

#

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipfw show

#

is that correct?

You may do better to set:
firewall_enable=YES
firewall_type=OPEN

Ok I will...

I wrote to Earthlink and this is what they had to say:

Earthlink: I suggest you reset the cable modem and then 
try connecting to the net.

Earthlink:In order to fix this your cable modem needs to 
be reset. First shut down your computer and then disconnect 
the power from the cable modem for 1 to 3 minutes. This will 
reset the modem. Next, reconnect the power to the cable modem 
and turn on your computer. If this does not resolve the issue, 
please let us know so we can dig a little deeper.

What do you think of this???

 If you don't have a DHCP _server_ on your network, then the DHCP _client_
 will not be able to to its job.
 
 Earthlink should provide a DHCP server, when I had my standalone redhat 
 box it was configured and I was also receiving DNS as well through earthlink.
 
 
 What do you suggest I do?

 You've gone too far ... there's not use trying to ping anything if you
 obviously didn't get a DHCP address.
 
 Who manages your DHCP server?  The config I described has worked in
 every configuration I've ever dealt with (and that's quite a few) so
 there is definately something external causing the problem.
 
 Did you install a packet filter when you set this box up?  Look through
 /etc/rc.conf for anything related to firewall.  Turn off all firewall
 rules while you're setting things up.  Once it works, you can start
 turning security stuff like that back on.
 
  I was reading Greg Lehey's book The Complete 
  FreeBSD which happens to have more information on
  DHCP,DNS, BIND than Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas and 
  Greg says that in order for dhcp to work you must start dhcpd,
  am I reading this correctly. I assumed that dhcpd would provide 
  DHCP for the private network (in my case), I did not think that
  my default gateway would rely on dhcpd in order to function.
 
 DHCP only works if there is a DHCP server.  DO NOT run more than 1
 DHPC server on a single network or everything is likely to go to hell.
 
 Most cheesy internet routers that people buy include a DHCP server.
 
 If you provide more information about what your network setup is, we
 can tell you whether you need a DHCP server or not.  But the simple
 answer is: DHCP won't work unless there is a DHCP server somewhere.
 
  Now I have 2 questions:
  *must I configure dhcpd now?
 
 Maybe not.  Does the network you're plugging in to require DHCP?
 
  *must I configure dns (resolv.conf, named, etc.)?
 
 No.  If you don't mind using IP addresses for everything.  If you want
 to be able to use hostnames (such as www.yahoo.com) then you need DNS.
 
  *does DHCP rely on the two configurations list above to data?
 
 Huh?
 
 The two lines I provided are enough to configure FreeBSD to be a DHCP
 _client_.  Any additional configuration is just

You must really like the # symbol.

Actually what I realized is that these posts end up on google searches
and all sorts of places all across the web.  Since people maybe 
referencing these threads to help solve their problems I take little 
extra time to make sure that my posts are legible reads as well as 
I can make at the time and organized in a way to use at your terminal
if necessary.

Have you tested basic network connectivity?

I installed FreeBSD on Tuesday Night and on monday I had Redhat 
running perfectly fine on the same network connection and cable.

I reduced it either to ipfiltering or cable modem (both likely candidates).

Do you get all the proper lights on both your NIC and the cable modem?

Yes on dc0 I do, however I not familiar with the other two 3COM XL
txp0, txp1. But I'm trying to connect to dc0.

I'll bet any amount of small pocket change that it's a scripted
answer they give out the first time you ask a question.  Have you
done it?  Cable modems can be flakey, and resetting them is
occasionally required.

Have you tested basic network connectivity?  Do you get all the
proper lights on both your NIC and the cable modem?  If there
are cable problems, you're going to waste a lot of time trying
to fix DHCP problems!

An acceptable resolution is VESA_800x600 (I do not think that the kernel can
do more at the moment?). 

To enable it you have to recompile your kernel with
option SC_PIXEL_MODE enabled (so you can use the raster text mode).

Then load the vesa support with kldload vesa and try 
vidconrtol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600.

If it is o.k. for you put in your /etc/rc.conf file:
allscreens_flags=-g 100x37 VESA_800x600 
and add to /boot/loader.conf:
vesa_load=YES 
to load the vesa module at startup.

DHCP and rc Questions For FreeBSD 4.10???

2004-08-11 Thread Hakim Z. Singhji
Hi All,

I have installed FreeBSD 4.10 to serve as a headless gateway/router/firewall/NAT. The 
first problem that I have run into can probably be resolved easily. I tried to 
configure my NIC card via sysinstaller.  However, rc.conf does not have a startup 
variable for dc0. Therefore dhclient is inoperable.

I built this box to be headless therefore it is low-tech with no floppy or flash drive 
and is currently a stand-alone machine so I am not able to copy the rc.conf file to 
this post. dc0 is working because I can bring its status to active manually: '[EMAIL 
PROTECTED] ifconfig dc0 ether up'.

I was wondering what what variables should be assigned to rc.conf, the related 
variables I have thus far are:

##
ifconfig_dc0=dhcp
dhcp_program=/sbin/dhclient
dhcp_flags= 
##

It would be appreciated if someone could attach or copy an rc.conf file for a similar 
system configuration. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I've been researching this issue although it may be minor I don't like to rely on the 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] unless I have to. I'm sure you understand...anyway, 
http:www.freebsddiary.com has a tutorial that with info I could not find in The 
Complete FreeBSD or Absolute BSD. It described two entries; one in dhclient.conf 
and the other in rc.conf.  See Below:

###
dhclient.conf
###
interface dc0{
send host-name redgate;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers, domain-name, 
time-servers;
require domain-name-servers;

###
rc.conf
###
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP #IS THIS VARIABLE DECLARATION CASE SENSITIVE???
hostname=redgate

###

The question I have now is if this is all I have to do to get dhcp running at startup? 
I anyone else has any suggestions they are welcome. Unfortunately I cannot test this 
until the evening so feedback will be very helpful and will save me some time 
researching.  Thanks in advance.

Wrap your likes around 72 characters.

All you need in /etc/rc.conf is:
network_interfaces=lo0 dc0
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP

Everything else you added is just re-affirming the default values.

Help Debugging Kshell Script???

Hello Everyone,
I need some help with this shell script.  I originally wrote it in ksh
and I not really familiar with bash.  However, that is what I'm using at
home now and I don't have ksh on any of my machines... Could you folks
help me convert this script to bash...I don't think the arithmatic
operator bc is a bash option.  It appears that is where the first bug
is at.
Please see the attached (encrypted/compressed) script for any additional

Questions on IPFW???

2004-08-03 Thread Hakim Z. Singhji
Hey guys,

Question, when NAT overloading is it possible to use only IPFW rules to pass TCP/UDP 
packects to remote ip addresses within the network? Or do you have to use 
natd...because IPFW allows you to execute the following for example:


ip from 192.168.99.100 80 to 192.168.99.101 9981


or even in conjunction with a dummynet rule of somesort?

Re: Questions on IPFW???

2004-08-03 Thread Hakim Z. Singhji
Hello Chuck,

I was wondering if someone could help me answer some questions I have concerning IPFW 
vs. natd I am trying to allow my FreeBSD 4.10 gateway to perform port forwarding for 
SSH, SQL*Net and Webservice (Web not as important yet). 

I wanted to know if I can use IPFW as opposed to natd to redirect or pass TCP  UDP 
(is ICMP out of the question???) to a remote location.  Gateway::192.0.0.1:22 -- 
remote server 192.0.0.5:22 or 192.0.0.5:9881 for instance. From the configuration of 
ipfw it appears that it can be done instead of using natd.

Any suggestions or corrections of my logic welcome. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what NAT overloading means.

It is possible to use only IPFW rules to pass TCP  UDP packets from one 
interface to another using the fwd action.  However, note that:

   The fwd action does not change the contents of the packet at all.
   In particular, the destination address remains unmodified, so
   packets forwarded to another system will usually be rejected by
   that system unless there is a matching rule on that system to
   capture them.  For packets forwarded locally, the local address
   of the socket will be set to the original destination address of
   the packet.  This makes the netstat(1) entry look rather weird
   but is intended for use with transparent proxy servers.

 Or do you have to use natd...because IPFW allows you to execute
 the following for example:
 
 ip from 192.168.99.100 80 to 192.168.99.101 9981
 

That's the body of an IPFW rule which matches packets with those attributes. 
Without an action (allow, deny, fwd), what you've written isn't a 
complete rule: it doesn't mean anything by itself.

 or even in conjunction with a dummynet rule of somesort?

Um.  Do you understand the question you are asking?

I don't-- perhaps try using a complete sentence.  Better yet, why don't you 
tell us what your network looks like and what you want to do.  You most likely 
will receive answers which are more specific and more useful to you...

Re: Questions on IPFW???

2004-08-03 Thread Hakim Z. Singhji
Actually Chuck,

You answered my question, I wanted to know which was better to use with port 
forwarding (ipfw or natd) and based on what you wrote, natd is a better fit due to the 
fact that I would not have to force the other machine to accept packets redirected 
from the NAT box using natd.  Is that correct???

That's right.  Most people want to use NAT, because it lets you set up an 
internal network without having to specially configure the internal machines.

With regard to your other question, if you want an external connection to, 
say, port 22 to be forwarded to port 22 on some machine on your internal 
network, use:

redirect_port tcp 192.0.0.5:22 22

...in /etc/natd.conf or your natd_flags in /etc/rc.conf.

Hi Bill,

I have one IP only...

With that said, I'll get back to business. I was thinking that NAT would
resolve my issue, however only one way. What if I am outside my
home-network and I want to SSH one of the machines behind the default
gateway. At present it is not possible and I don't know how to make this
possible.

This is a rough diagram of the network... I would like to ssh, ping,
etc. the machines behind the default gateway directly (without
tunneling) from the outside the network (at work for example). Is this
possible and if so how do I config.  Keep in mind that my default
gateway is FreeBSD.  I know this may be a complicated project but if you
could help that would help me greatly.  Many thanks to everyone in advance.

Well Kevin,
Do you know where I can get a 3COM or Intel card for a good price???  I
tried pricewatch.com however they all seem to be around the same between
29 - 35 dollars.

Re: getting rid of cron-sendmail messages

According to periodic.conf(5), daily_status_security_output is only
meaningful if daily_status_security_inline is set to ``NO''

it is the default, anyway I found the problem and set:

/etc/periodic.conf
--
daily_clean_hoststat_enable=NO

The /etc/periodic/daily/150.clean-hoststat script has been completely changed in 4.9
and now it calls sendmail.

Cheers,
Derek

getting rid of cron-sendmail messages

2003-12-31 Thread cb . z . ds
How can I get rid of cron-sendmail messages in FreeBSD 4.9?

In FreeBSD 4.7 the following worked:

/etc/crontab

MAILTO=

/etc/periodic.conf
--
daily_output=/var/log/daily.log
daily_status_mailq_enable=NO
daily_status_include_submit_mailq=NO
daily_status_mail_rejects_enable=NO
daily_queuerun_enable=NO
daily_submit_queuerun=NO
daily_status_security_output=/var/log/daily.log


After the upgrade I get now 2 messages from sendmail daily when cron runs.
What's happened? Also, is there other/better solution?

Thanks, Derek

kernel compilation error (emergency)

2002-09-26 Thread z x

Subject: kernel compilation error (emergency)
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 06:34:53 -0700

hi,

I`m trying to put up ipfw to work in my computer. I followed the directions 
in placing the lines in the kernel:

options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO ACCEPT

now i have tried removing or simply commenting the default to accept 
line, since what i want is to deny all.

now when running # make buildkernel (...)
i get errors like this:

/TMP/ccX10334.s : 2462 : ERROR : subtraction of two symbols in different 
sections Idle PTD {. data section} - KERNBASE {*UND* section} at file 
address 1554

this is one of many similar error lines that appear (with some different 
numbers and file addresses)

and at the end I get a :

***Error Code 1

stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC.
***Error Code 1

stop in /usr/src.
***Error code 1

stop in /usr/src.





please, i looked for this and couldn`t find a solution.
i appreciate your help

R.
