Do you know if such a solution exists. What do you mean with: pop-before-smtp. You use STMP to send you mail from one server to another. And you use POP(3) to receive you mail from the 2nd server. I use qpopper for my pop3 services. pop-before-smtp is a solution to use smtp from mobile locations without using an smtp-auth technique. Basically, you authenticate through pop, if the authentication is successfull, then your IP is marked as ok for relaying during a periiod of time. Very usefull when your users connect from different places as they have dynamic IPs.

Sendmail hanging on startup usually indicates a DNS problem --- sendmail puts a lot of effort into looking up the local host and the addresses of it's interfaces in the DNS in order to work out what it's FQDN should be and so forth. If there's a problem doing that, it will hang for what seems like a very long time indeed waiting for answers from the DNS. Actually it's only about 30s per query per nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf. Check /var/log/maillog --- there will be sufficient error messages logged in there to enable you to diagnose what exactly is broken and presumably how to fix it.

Big directory size
Hello, I had a directory with a lot of files (about 100 000), and naturally, the size of the directory entry itself was big enough (about 1M). Now I've split all these files to different subdirectories, to increase the system performance. The major directory entry size didn't change, however such a big value is not needed now. Now here is a question - can an unnessesary big value of a directory entry size harm the system performance? I guess it does not, is it correct?

Multiple network cards with IP addresses in the same network
I have a FreeBSD 4.7 system, with 3 ethernet cards. The first two are recognised as fxp0 and fxp1 and the second as em0 (intel gigabit card). I configured the em0 with address 192.168.0.1/24. I then wanted to configure fxp0 with the address 192.168.0.2/24, and also connect it to the switch so that I can connect to the server via both addresses. However, FreeBSD's ifconfig command fails, and won't let me add the second address to the fxp0 interface. I read the manual page about ifconfig, and read about aliases, where it said that for aliases, I must use the netmask /32. When I do try to add the second address with a netmask of /32, it works, but it doesn't make sense to me. How is that interface going to to know that it is part of a /24 network if I use a /32 netmask? Would anyone be kind enough to explain why: 1. For aliases, I need the /32 mask 2.

Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because when a packet comes in for that network, there's no way to tell which card it should go to. I think you need to rethink your network design a bit. If you have different Ethernet links, you should either bridge or route between them. If you want to route between them, they almost always should have distinct subnet ranges.

Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because it breaks routing and the basic concept of IP addys and netmasks. If you have two NICs on the same network, how is the kernel supposed to route packets? If you want this setup as a failover solution, there are other ways. There's a program in the ports (I can't remember the name, you'll have to do some research) that will monitor an interface, and if it becomes non- responsive, run a script of your choosing. Thus, you can have it start up the other network card if the first fails. If failover isn't what you're looking for, then I'd reconsider your network topology.

For aliases, I need the /32 mask I didn't know that you did. I've certainly had aliases that weren't /32 I have been using linux for about 2 years now. Let me explain why I don't understand. I have addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. I want to run different services on the 2 different IP addresses. In a linux system, I do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 So that I have 2 different addresses bound to the same interface. On FreeBSD, if I do: ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias That fails. The ifconfig manpage states that a nonconflicting netmaks must be used for the alias, and suggests to use 0x. I don't understand why, because I don't see why one network interface cannot have more than one address bound to it within the same network. If I use a /32 netmask for the alias address, how will the kernel respond to arp requests for that alias address? 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because it breaks routing and the basic concept of IP addys and netmasks. If you have two NICs on the same network, how is the kernel supposed to route packets? I still don't understand. In a linux system I can do: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth1 This adds 2 default routes in the linux kernel, telling it to route packets to the outside world using either network interface, where eth0 has address 192.168.0.1/24 and eth1 has address 192.168.0.2/24. What's wrong with that? If you want this setup as a failover solution, there are other ways. There's a program in the ports (I can't remember the name, you'll have to do some research) that will monitor an interface, and if it becomes non- responsive, run a script of your choosing. Thus, you can have it start up the other network card if the first fails. Ok, I understand that, and it may be a very useful program, *if* you want to bring up the other interface with perhaps the same IP address. All I want to do is to have 2 different IP addresses on each of the different interfaces in the server, where the addresses are in the same network. I can do it in linux. Why can't I do it in FreeBSD? If failover isn't what you're looking for, then I'd reconsider your network topology. It doesn't really make sense to have 2 NICs with the same network number in one machine. Why not? I haven't seen any such warning in my IP networking books or courses. -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Can't telnet or FTP
I just did a clean install of 4.7 (I was running 4.0 previously) on a machine that I'm using as primarily as a network gateway and firewall and also as a file server. It installed fine and is working natd ipfw are working beautifully. However, I am unable to telnet or ftp into the box using either adaptor's ip address - I get a connection refused message. I did set up anonymous ftp access during the install. I'm assuming that I did something wrong in the setup to make it disable remote access. Can anyone tell me what I might have done and how I can re-enable remote access to this box?

Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: problems, upon reboot after the install is complete the system reports a disk error and FreeBSD will not boot from the hard drive, it does not begin loading FreeBSD or anything at all. Other OS's have worked on the Since you have it running, use boot0cfg to make a boot floppy and try booting from that. Might as will run boot0cfg on the MBR and try that too. Guessing further, you might have a disk geometry setting that the FreeBSD OS itself is happy with for installation, etc, but which your BIOS doesn't like to support booting. The boot0 boot loader uses the BIOS to load the OS. For one thing, your a (/) partition might have to be in the first 1024 cylinders. The boot0cfg man page says it can boot past that with BIOS support (if you use the packet option), but the installer probably doesn't use that for some reason (and I tried it on a fairly modern OS with LBA disk addressing and it couldn't boot past 1024 anyway).

MPD/VPN
I'm open to suggestions on this one. I have tried everything :( I'm hoping that someone else ran into this problem and knows how to fix it. MPD/FREEBSD as a VPN server. Multiple clients (windows and unix). Windows 98: Works great, connects, tiny performance drop in speed, hardly noticeable. Windows 2000: Works just as well as Windows 98 if not better. Windows XP: I can connect, ping through the VPN, even load tiny web pages and telnet out - but anything large stalls completely. I've tried multiple XP machines, they all do the same thing. It is my understanding that this is a MTU issue - but I find it very hard to believe that Microsoft products need configuration before they work, such as a MTU change. Heres mpd.conf for what it's worth (I've excluded the clients): client_standard: set iface disable on-demand set iface enable proxy-arp set iface idle 86400 set bundle disable multilink set link yes acfcomp protocomp set link disable pap set link enable chap set link keep-alive 10 60 set ipcp yes vjcomp set ipcp dns 66.170.64.1 66.170.64.13 set bundle enable compression set bundle enable crypt-reqd set ccp yes mppc set ccp yes mpp-e40 set ccp yes mpp-e128 set ccp yes mpp-stateless One other thing - I notice that the two clients that do work (any Windows 98 or 2000 box) has a MTU of 1496 on the server: ng0: flags=88d1UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1496 The ones that don't vary but are NOT 1496. Any input would be helpful at this point. bangs head into desk Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Multiple network cards with IP addresses in the same network
I have addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. I want to run different services on the 2 different IP addresses. In a linux system, I do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 So that I have 2 different addresses bound to the same interface. On FreeBSD, if I do: ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias That fails. It should fail, you should enter: # ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias In this situation you can ignore the /32 netmask, it will act as /24. The ifconfig manpage states that a nonconflicting netmaks must be used for the alias, and suggests to use 0x. I don't understand why, because I don't see why one network interface cannot have more than one address bound to it within the same network. If I use a /32 netmask for the alias address, how will the kernel respond to arp requests for that alias address? arp requests for .2 will be handled properly by the kernel as if it were /24. 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because it breaks routing and the basic concept of IP addys and netmasks. If you have two NICs on the same network, how is the kernel supposed to route packets? I still don't understand. In a linux system I can do: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth1 To my knowledge, this is a Linux feature. Solaris, *BSD, and others don't let you specify the network interface when you add a route. I know for a fact under Solaris that when you have 2 interfaces which live in the same subnet, the interface with the lowest numbered IP will be the interface used for outbound traffic. All I want to do is to have 2 different IP addresses on each of the different interfaces in the server, where the addresses are in the same network. I can do it in linux. Why can't I do it in FreeBSD? Good question. I'd defer this anwser to someone a bit more intimate with FreeBSD's IP stack and routing.

The first two are recognised as fxp0 and fxp1 and the second as em0 (intel gigabit card). I configured the em0 with address 192.168.0.1/24. I then wanted to configure fxp0 with the address 192.168.0.2/24, and also connect it to the switch so that I can connect to the server via both addresses. However, FreeBSD's ifconfig command fails, and won't let me add the second address to the fxp0 interface. I read the manual page about ifconfig, and read about aliases, where it said that for aliases, I must use the netmask /32. When I do try to add the second address with a netmask of /32, it works, but it doesn't make sense to me. How is that interface going to to know that it is part of a /24 network if I use a /32 netmask? Would anyone be kind enough to explain why: 1. For aliases, I need the /32 mask I didn't know that you did. I've certainly had aliases that weren't /32 I have been using linux for about 2 years now. Let me explain why I don't understand. Well, first off, I misunderstood your original question. I have addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. I want to run different services on the 2 different IP addresses. In a linux system, I do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 So that I have 2 different addresses bound to the same interface.

Also, I don't understand why you would want to do this. The ifconfig manpage states that a nonconflicting netmaks must be used for the alias, and suggests to use 0x. I don't understand why, because I don't see why one network interface cannot have more than one address bound to it within the same network. If I use a /32 netmask for the alias address, how will the kernel respond to arp requests for that alias address? What would you expect it to do that would be unusual? If you really want two IPs on the same subnet on the same NIC, then use a /32 subnet for one. What's it going to hurt? 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because it breaks routing and the basic concept of IP addys and netmasks. If you have two NICs on the same network, how is the kernel supposed to route packets? I still don't understand. In a linux system I can do: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth1 Just because you can do it on a Linux system doesn't mean it's right. This adds 2 default routes in the linux kernel, telling it to route packets to the outside world using either network interface, where eth0 has address 192.168.0.1/24 and eth1 has address 192.168.0.2/24. What's wrong with that? It's ambiguous. Where does the kernel route to when there are two possible routes? There's really no reason for such a thing. If you want this setup as a failover solution, there are other ways. There's a program in the ports (I can't remember the name, you'll have to do some research) that will monitor an interface, and if it becomes non- responsive, run a script of your choosing. Thus, you can have it start up the other network card if the first fails. Ok, I understand that, and it may be a very useful program, *if* you want to bring up the other interface with perhaps the same IP address. Well, it's useful for other reasons as well, but it doesn't apply to your situation. I suggested it because I didn't understand what you were asking before. All I want to do is to have 2 different IP addresses on each of the different interfaces in the server, where the addresses are in the same network. I can do it in linux. Why can't I do it in FreeBSD? Because you shouldn't do it. If failover isn't what you're looking for, then I'd reconsider your network topology. It doesn't really make sense to have 2 NICs with the same network number in one machine. Why not? I haven't seen any such warning in my IP networking books or courses. My answer to your question is: 1. Why would you WANT to do that? I don't care if Linux, Windows and everyone but FreeBSD _allows_ you to, the reason for it escapes me. 2. If you reall _do_ want to do that, use a /32 netmask as required. If that doesn't work for you for some reason, then the answer to your question is beyond my expertise. -- 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

ipfilter/ipmon log msgs
I have read both the Freebsd.org online man page and the man page installed on my FBSD 4.7 system for man ipmon and the man page info does not match the syntax of the ipfilter.log messages. Man ipmon says than when option -s is selected to send ipfilter log messages to syslogd the day, month, year prefix is removed from the message before posting to syslogd. This does not happen. I also see that the message posted in the syslogd contains the pid (running task number of ipmon) in the posted message. This is not documented in man ipmon. FBSD 4.7 contains a updated release of ipfilter. Is it possible that the FBSD man page info was not updated to the new release?

PST might simply tell the system the offset from UTC - which itself is calculated by the utility `adjkerntz` based on your local time - found in your CMOS clock (assuming your CMOS clock is set to local time and not UTC). Also, if you just setup your system, ntpd might not choose to rapidly swing the system clock by 2 hours, as this could be confusing to the system. See the folling bits from the ntpd manpage: In case there is no TOY chip or for some reason its time is more than 1000s from the server time, ntpd assumes something must be terribly wrong and the only reliable action is for the operator to intervene and set the clock by hand. This causes ntpd to exit with a panic message to the system log. The -g option overrides this check and the clock will be set to the server time regardless of the chip time. ... Under ordinary conditions, ntpd adjusts the clock in small steps so that the timescale is effectively continuous and without discontinuities. Basically, I'm guessing that your CMOS clock is off??

Re: Big directory size
Varshavchick Alexander [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I had a directory with a lot of files (about 100 000), and naturally, the size of the directory entry itself was big enough (about 1M). Now I've split all these files to different subdirectories, to increase the system performance. The major directory entry size didn't change, however such a big value is not needed now. Now here is a question - can an unnessesary big value of a directory entry size harm the system performance? I guess it does not, is it correct? If the files were created without the dirhash code in your kernel, it certainly could. It still could with the dirhash, but shouldn't be noticeable at the 100,000-file level.

Re: Multiple network cards with IP addresses in the same network
I'm going to jump in here, because this question was my reason for having joined the Freebsd-questions list in the first place. Of all the time I've been running FreeBSD, this is my first post to this list... :P I have a similar situation. Firewall/NAT machine with 3 nics. Only rather than using the two external interfaces for different services, I would like to use two nic's on the external subnet (using the FreeBSD machine as a NAT/Firewall) for the following purpose: --I would like one interface to be used for external IPF/NAT connectivity for my network computers, allowing my network connectivity to my ISP. --I would like a second interface to acquire a SECOND ip address to be set up as bimap in NAT, to allow a second machine (my workstation) to be the only machine to utilize the second external IP. Similar to being in a DMZ, but it would still use an internal address, as well as be subject to the firewall rules in IPF. Again, I have read that this is available on Linux. My searches have shown that there are ways to do this on RedHat w/ ipchains (etc.).. ... but I digress... I have tried putting two nics in and having dhclient obtain addresses for both on the same subnet. dhclient will get both addresses (shown in dhclient.leases), but fails to assign an ip to the second interface, failing with the error file already exists. I'm sure this is a different (but related) issue. In my situation, another solution might be to use an alias on a single external interface.. only I'm not sure how to get dhclient to obtain the second IP address and assign it to the alias, nor how to get IPF to recognize the alias'd interface properly. Bridging also comes to mind, but I'm not certain that if I bridge the interface to my workstation computer it would correctly handle having an internal as well as external address (other software application complications would arise as well, I'm sure). That's not my intent anyway, so I have not and likely will not persue bridging as an option. Maybe I should have posted this on a diff. thread? :P But I believe the resolution to this issue is the same as the originally posted issue. Hopefully something will come out of it.

The first two are recognised as fxp0 and fxp1 and the second as em0 (intel gigabit card). I configured the em0 with address 192.168.0.1/24. I then wanted to configure fxp0 with the address 192.168.0.2/24, and also connect it to the switch so that I can connect to the server via both addresses. However, FreeBSD's ifconfig command fails, and won't let me add the second address to the fxp0 interface. I read the manual page about ifconfig, and read about aliases, where it said that for aliases, I must use the netmask /32. When I do try to add the second address with a netmask of /32, it works, but it doesn't make sense to me. How is that interface going to to know that it is part of a /24 network if I use a /32 netmask? Would anyone be kind enough to explain why: 1. For aliases, I need the /32 mask I didn't know that you did. I've certainly had aliases that weren't /32 I have been using linux for about 2 years now. Let me explain why I don't understand. Well, first off, I misunderstood your original question. I have addresses 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. I want to run different services on the 2 different IP addresses. In a linux system, I do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 So that I have 2 different addresses bound to the same interface. On FreeBSD, if I do: ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias That fails. It should, it creates an ambiguous network situation. Also, I don't understand why you would want to do this. The ifconfig manpage states that a nonconflicting netmaks must be used for the alias, and suggests to use 0x. I don't understand why, because I don't see why one network interface cannot have more than one address bound to it within the same network. If I use a /32 netmask for the alias address, how will the kernel respond to arp requests for that alias address? What would you expect it to do that would be unusual? If you really want two IPs on the same subnet on the same NIC, then use a /32 subnet for one. What's it going to hurt? 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one.

RE: Apache_fp Port install problem
I installed apache-fp on newly install FBSD 4.7 system that was installed from cd without any compt selected from /stand/sysinstall process and apache-fp was the first port installed on this system and in went in with no problem. You must have an older version of compt3 on your FBSD system that is causing the problem. If you installed compatibility from the /stand/sysinstall process during the original install then I believe the ports/make environment does not know about it and the only solution is to reinstall FSBD from cd. The other problem area is that you may have a old version of compt3 on your ports installed environment and if so, you will have to find which of your installed ports has compt3 as a pre-rec, deinstall all the ports using it, delete compt3 from /usr/ports/distfiles, and then make the ports again.

Has anyone seen the above problem on similar installs...??? /usr/src/UPDATING says: 20021110: The definitions of the standard file streams (stdio, stdout, and stderr) have changed so that they are no longer compile-time constants. Some older binaries may require updated 3.X compatability libraries (for example, by setting COMPAT3X=yes for a buildworld/installworld). Alternatively to doing a buildworld with COMPAT3X=yes, you could install the misc/compat3x port. Good grief! I read the UPDATING as always, but this one did NOT sink in! Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction before I shot myself in the foot If I go the misc/compat3x port route, I assume I need to redo the buildword?? If so, then I might as well include the COMPAT3X=yes in the make.conf. All that setting COMPAT3X=yes does is cause the buildworld process to uudecode and install some precompiled copies of FreeBSD-3.x shared libraries --- see /usr/src/lib/compat/compat3x.i386 for what's available. Those libraries were originally just copied off a 3.x machine, but since then kernel changes in 4.x or 5.0 have meant that certain changes have had to be back ported to RELENG_3 in order to maintain compatibility between the 3.x shlibs and the kernel. Supplying those libraries by installing the port achieves exactly the same effect, but quicker. However, the choice is entirely up to you. In the long run, putting COMPAT3X into /etc/make.conf would be my choice, as my regular schedule of buildworlds would ensure everything was up to date. Once the 3.x shlibs are in place, the binary frontpage binary supplied with the apache-fp port should pick them up OK. The interface between the 3.x shlibs and any applications linked to them should remain exactly the same. Cheers, Matthew Matthew, thanks again for the reply. However, I've tried both methods of the compat3x on a test server, including and whole new build/installworld and the

splash_bmp_load problems.
Hi, This might seem a bit of a silly question to be asking. It's a bit pointless really but I can't figure out why it shouldn't work. I tried setting a 800x600 256 color bitmap as my splash bmp. The same bitmap works just fine on another machine (that isn't a laptop). Basically, while the modules are all loaded nicely I get a squashed and repeated image in the upper section of the screen. It's no more than 1/5th of the screen's height and it's repeated horizontally about four or five times. Any idea what might cause this? My /boot/loader.conf reads: bitmap_load=NO bitmap_name=/boot/splash.pcx splash_pcx_load=NO I have the VESA compiled into my kernel for the 800x600 mode (I also had the same problem with a smaller bitmap.

If you want to upgrade via buildworld, I'm afraid you're going to have to do that large a jump in several stages: 3.5 - RELENG_3 (latest version of 3.x-STABLE, I think 3.5.1) RELENG_3 - RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE (4.0-RELEASE. (This update is fairly tricky, and you'll need to pay special attention to the notes in UPDATING)) RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE - RELENG_4 You might even need to put in yet another step between 4.0-RELEASE and 4.x-STABLE. On the other hand, it's probably going to be a lot easier and more productive to back up all your important data and configuration changes and then just install 4.7-RELEASE over your 3.5 machine, then use cvsup to get to 4.7-STABLE, and restore or recreate the important bits from your 3.5 system. Note that which ever way you do the update, you're going to run into various gotchas, like the change from DES to MD5 password hashes.

RE: ipfilter/ipmon log msgs
Did ipf -V and the which command on both ipf ipmon and they are both in same directory. The only thing that look questionable is ipf -V says log flags: 0 = none set. Does this mean ipfilter_flags= or ipmon_flags=-Ds What is this talking about?? In rc.conf I have ipfilter_enable=YES ipfilter_flags= ipnat_enable=YES ipmon_enable=YES ipmon_flags=-Ds Is there a ipfilter web site that I can check man info page on ipmon to see if it has newer information that what FBSD has in it's man ipmon which would mean that the new man info was not updated into the new FBSD release of ipfilter which happened in FBSD 4.7 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Wayne Pascoe Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 4:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: FBSDQ Subject: Re: ipfilter/ipmon log msgs JoeB [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Man ipmon says than when option -s is selected to send ipfilter log messages to syslogd the day, month, year prefix is removed from the message before posting to syslogd.

strange squid/md issue
Hi, I am running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE and squid 2.4.STABLE6. In order to avoid squid using my harddisks, I've created a memory filesystem and I've made squid use that md mount as it's swap space. This works fine, however, after several days of operation, squid locks up. I am then not able to kill it in any possible way (not -9, not squid -k shutdown, etc). Top says that squid is in the state 'inode' or 'biord' (the state remains constant, but it may be different each time squid dies). The only way to shutdown squid at this point, is to reboot the machine (i dont like doing this frequently). Finally, I've encountered difficulty manipulating files in the md device when this lockup occurs. I tried deleting some files in one of the squid's cache dirs (rm cache_dir/00/00/* for example) and rm locked up as well. Has anyone else encountered this issue? What steps can I take to debug this?

This is not a copy paste of the message. Nevertheless, you will need to add the `options ether' line that you removed from your GENERIC kernel to get things to work correctly. The `options ether' stuff is not used only by ethernet drivers. Since it doesn't cost much, I keep it in my kernel configs anyway. I'm only one month old in the Unix/FreeBSD environment and don't really know what should be done to fix this. I have included my kernel at the end of this message for reference. I just know that I get some warnings about some NET, INET and INET6 files... Could this be related to these options? options INET#InterNETworking options INET6 #IPv6 communications protocols Possibly. I suggest that you start with GENERIC and run buildkernel a few times deleting or adding options a few at a time. It's also a nice idea to avoid mailers that do evil things to whitespace, since it took me too long to read through the differences of your kernel and GENERIC to see if what I suspected (the `ether' stuff) was true. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
