/boot/loader panic on x86
Upon execution during the boot sequence, /boot/loader panics with something about guard1 and reboots. The system in question is a 586 running 4.7-STABLE from February 12, 2003; however, this problem has been persisting for quite some time. I have tried installing new boot code into the slice using disklabel as well as updating the MBR, neither of which fixed the problem. Do any of you know what may be causing this and/or how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for not providing the text that appears on the screen; the whole process takes place very quickly and as such it does not stay around long enough for me to copy it down. If there is a way to get these messages, I would be happy to do whatever was needed in order to make troubleshooting this problem less difficult. -- Mark Laws [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.60hz.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

file system trouble
Hi list, This morning i had a strange problem: The /home filesystem was full (121G partition on a 3ware escalade raid) So i deleted 7G, but df did not show any difference. The fs is mounted w/ soft-updates. I issued a sync command, but still no change. The files were no longer shown in ls, but space was not freed. So i decided to reboot, to make sure that the deleted files are not still opened by some process. The shutdown went normal, but at the end it said: sysncing disks.. 3321 3321 3321 3316 . I dont't know the exact numbers anymore, but it printed some 40x80 lines of 4 digit numbers, the last line was all 1s and then said: giving up on 1 buffers. When rebooting, all fs were unclean and i had to wait the usual 20 minutes for fsck to complete. What has been going on here? I use 4.6.2-RELEASE Heinrich -- Heinrich Rebehn University of Bremen Physics / Electrical and Electronics Engineering - Department of Telecommunications - E-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone : +49/421/218-4664 Fax :-3341 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Hi Joseph, You can disable the ACPI module in the boot process. When you see the message Hit enter or wait 10 seconds to boot press enter and type: unset acpi_load boot This way, the installation will happen without load the module ACPI. Hope this helps.

Re: syntax problems in /etc/csh.login
Hi, Try this instead: if ( $user == user1 ) then echo hello user1 else if ( $user == user2 ) then echo hello user2 endif You could also do it with a switch: switch ( $user ) case user1: echo hello user1 breaksw case user2: echo hello user2 breaksw endsw $user is a shell built-in variable that holds the user's login name. If you have a lot of users you might want to do it via some username-message mapping mechanism instead of coding a whole bunch of if or case statements. A simple method might be to have a directory under /etc called, say, usermsg and then a file for each user. Then in your csh.login you'd do something like: if ( -r /etc/usermsg/$user ) then cat /etc/usermsg/$user endif cheers sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

RE: problem with install
Since you have tried FBSD 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 5.0 I would say that the problem is not an FBSD problem but a problem with the hard ware of the box you are installing FBSD onto. From your description of what you have done to fix the problem, I can see that you started to use the process of elimination method to debug the problem. You need to continue using this method. First of all I have never heard of ever needing dummy cards to terminate unused memory slots. Remove them. Also strip down your PC to bare bones. Remove SCSI control card from PC PCI bus and unplug power supplies from all SCSI devices. Only have IDE hard drive and IDE CDROM drive and install FBSD to see if it works. If that works then you know you have problem with SCSI control card.

I've just done a complete upgrade of all my mozilla (embedded headers) to 1.3b,1 and I'm still seeing the same thing. I also totally wiped out the mozilla directories before doing the installation.

RE: problem with install
I believe some types of RAM need a terminator card in some slots on some mobos ...

From your description of what you have done to fix the problem, I can see that you started to use the process of elimination method to debug the problem. You need to continue using this method. First of all I have never heard of ever needing dummy cards to terminate unused memory slots. Remove them. Also strip down your PC to bare bones. Remove SCSI control card from PC PCI bus and unplug power supplies from all SCSI devices. Only have IDE hard drive and IDE CDROM drive and install FBSD to see if it works.

Re: Hard error??
I used to get this error on a FreeBSD while using a perfectly stable harddrive. That harddrive is managed via Solaris now, but, I determined the issue during its FreeBSD usage was DMA. If you are running two disks on the same ATA channel with different DMA capabilities, the capabilities may be causing scrambles in the negotiation of I/O on the line. The solution is to put ATA drives that use _only_ the same DMA caps on the same ATA channel. If you only have two drives, simply put ATA0.1 on ATA1.0. This stopped my falling back to PIO messages and probably saved the disk from hard failure caused by misuse.

troubleshooting CVSUP failures
Howdy all, My ISP just put in a packetshaper and I am now having problems getting CVSUP to work. I suppose it could be unrelated, but I wanted to see if anyone could suggest good troubleshooting steps. I've tried several cvsup servers (cvsup, cvsup2, cvsup7, cvsup8) and they all either fail immediately, or shortly thereafter with one of the following errors. TreeList failed: Network write failure: ChannelMux.ProtocolError Detailer failed: Network read failure: Input/output error: zlib data error Will retry at 11:40:22 If anyone can give me some ideas to help figure out where the fault lies, that would be great.

I do not have a bootable CD Rom drive (though I do have a CD Rom burner), so I have been planning to install from discs. So far I have: 1. Formatted two floppy discs. 2. Downloaded kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to my root c: drive (of a Windows system) 3. Downloaded fdimage to my root c: drive (of a Windows system) 4. Copied kern.flp from the Windows DOS emulator with the command: fdimage kern.flp a: 5. Copied mfsroot.flp from the Windows DOS emulator with the command: fdimage mfsroot.flp a: 6. I turned on the machine to which I will install the OS and ensured that floppy disks were the primary boot mechanism in the setup menu. 7. When I restart the machine with the kern.flp or the mfsroot.flp in the disk drive I get the message Insert bootable media in the appropriate drive.

My /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts directory looks like this: total 16 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8618 Feb 13 11:35 fonts.conf -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5712 Feb 13 11:35 fonts.dtd So, I removed that directory, and I did cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig make deinstall make clean install That fixed the problem for me. I don't know that deleting the fonts.conf and fonts.dtd actually did anything, I was just shooting in the dark. I saw that something was foul with fontconfig, so I wanted to make sure I wiped out anything corrupted in fonts.conf. I knew the installer would replace that directory. If two of us have had this issue now, I wonder if there's something about the build order of the gnome2.2 port that is messing up fontconfig when upgrading from a previous gnome2 install, or something like that.

My /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts directory looks like this: total 16 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8618 Feb 13 11:35 fonts.conf -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5712 Feb 13 11:35 fonts.dtd So, I removed that directory, and I did cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig make deinstall make clean install That fixed the problem for me. I don't know that deleting the fonts.conf and fonts.dtd actually did anything, I was just shooting in the dark. I saw that something was foul with fontconfig, so I wanted to make sure I wiped out anything corrupted in fonts.conf. I knew the installer would replace that directory. If two of us have had this issue now, I wonder if there's something about the build order of the gnome2.2 port that is messing up fontconfig when upgrading from a previous gnome2 install, or something like that. Does that sound plausible Joe? Not likely. I've upgraded four machines now, and never encountered this problem. I know quite a few others that haven't run in to it, either. As long as you properly upgrade GNOME 2 and all of its components, you really shouldn't run into a problem. That's not to say a bad font or fontdir, or bad ~/.fonts.conf couldn't hurt you.

Is FreeBSD suitable for a tablet PC?
I am working on a project that applies open-source philosophy to hardware design and courseware aimed at the secondary school and college level. The centerpiece of the project is a self-made portable computer similar to the newly reborn Windows tablet PC. There are still many design details to be worked out -- thin client vs. full featured, independent workstation, for example -- but one of the most fundamental issues is the choice of operation system. I have been using FreeBSD at work since version 2.something and am completely satisfied with it as a server. Setting up X and a clean user experience was a lot of work. I kept hearing about Linux and how much more it was like Windows, so I bought a box of Mandrake 6.5 and gave it a try. I was very impressed with how smooth the installation went and the resulting workspace -- not just for myself, mind you, but for a hypothetical newbie. I have continued to use Mandrake, and have 8.1 running on my little Sony SR7K notebook with an 802.11b home LAN. (But that was NOT a newbie level task, I can assure you!) My biggest complaint is poor battery life; about an hour. Even less if I use Xemacs! I continue to have doubts about using FreeBSD for my reference design. To me it seems like using a cargo ship to go fishing. Okay, how about holding school in a sports stadium? Using a deer rifle to kill a mouse? A fire hose to fill a water glass? On the other hand, FreeBSD as a complete OS -- kernel plus ports -- comes the closest to my ideal. The technology is cutting edge, we don't get too tangled up in different versions and feature sets, and there is this wonderful community. Most Linux distros have their own community of supporters, too, but so often they become, well, so passionate. I would enjoy hearing your opinions on how well FreeBSD supports these requirements: o Long battery life (e.g. automatic CPU speed throttle) o Multi-level power management - Full speed - Reduced speed - Suspend - Hibernation o 802.11b networking - Automatic configuration in a many-access point setting - Seamless transition to wired or dial-up connections o Digitizer input (I have John Joganic's Linux Wacom tablet driver working on my VAIO) o Handwriting recognition (Not really there even in Linux) Finally, a shameless plug: I am looking for help, so if this sounds like something you'd like to participate in please drop me a line and visit my mailing list sign-up page.

Re: Hard error??
Is this a bug in the FreeBSD ATA driver then?
Its entirely possible, but, I, personally, wouldn't know for sure.
I'm just getting in to the depths of the ATA specs. It may not be
a bug so much as a lack of handling specific DMA issues.
Maybe someone should CC freebsd-{hardware,hackers}@

Sorry, I can't answer your question but I can recommend the Tualatin especially with the intel S815EBM1 mobo and Infineon RAM.

As I'll want to help with SMP which seems to be slowly gaining weight, am considering dual-processor system. Current dual-Xeon systems are too expensive, PIII is old (good and cool) technology, but 1,4Ghz Tualatin price is about the same as 2Ghz Athlon XP.. which brings me to the dual-Athlon solution. What do you guys think about Asus A7M266-D and two Athlon XP 2400+ processors? The information circulating around 'Net claims that XP and MP are the same processors and with slight modification XP's will work just fine as MP's.

Anyway, it seems like I have just got to get myself a new drive. On that note, has anybody got any idea what I should go for? Any vendors whose drives do NOT cave in after half a year? ;) I choose Maxtor for several reasons. First off, I've been using Maxtor disks the most since I started out in computers and haven't had one fail yet (running every OS i've tested). Now that I'm alittle more experienced, I use Maxtor because of its standing credibility with me, and, because the Chairman of the T13[1] (technical committee for ATA[-ATAPI] development) is from Maxtor Corporation. They are most likely to want to adhere to a published specification (along with other T13 members), rather than develop chipsets that are rushed to keep up with a $25 billion a year industry.

I kept hearing about Linux and how much more it was like Windows, so I bought a box of Mandrake 6.5 and gave it a try. I was very impressed with how smooth the installation went and the resulting workspace -- not just for myself, mind you, but for a hypothetical newbie. I have continued to use Mandrake, and have 8.1 running on my little Sony SR7K notebook with an 802.11b home LAN. (But that was NOT a newbie level task, I can assure you!) Linux is just another unix clone with not that truely seperates it from any of the others... but any ways setting up FreeBSD is simple. Not sure about linux being much more like windows than FreeBSD... /me does not regards niether of them to be any thing like windows... the closest thing they have to windows is KDE which looks some what like windows in that it has a startbar thing... My biggest complaint is poor battery life; about an hour. Even less if I use Xemacs! I continue to have doubts about using FreeBSD for my reference design. To me it seems like using a cargo ship to go fishing. Okay, how about holding school in a sports stadium? Using a deer rifle to kill a mouse? A fire hose to fill a water glass? On the other hand, FreeBSD as a complete OS -- kernel plus ports -- comes the closest to my ideal. The technology is cutting edge, we don't get too tangled up in different versions and feature sets, and there is this wonderful community. Most Linux distros have their own community of supporters, too, but so often they become, well, so passionate. I would enjoy hearing your opinions on how well FreeBSD supports these requirements: o Long battery life (e.g. automatic CPU speed throttle) do a man on apm o Multi-level power management - Full speed - Reduced speed - Suspend - Hibernation man apm should help o 802.11b networking - Automatic configuration in a many-access point setting - Seamless transition to wired or dial-up connections http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.7R/hardware-i386.html moving from connection to connection is easy... never done it with wireless, but have done it with ethernet... doing dial-up on freebsd works nicely o Digitizer input (I have John Joganic's Linux Wacom tablet driver working on my VAIO) This is provided by X... goto /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input and ye will see what input stuff there is for the version of X ye have installed o Handwriting recognition (Not really there even in Linux) does not exist in either, afaik Finally, a shameless plug: I am looking for help, so if this sounds like something you'd like to participate in please drop me a line and visit my mailing list sign-up page. -kitsune when asking a fox expect a foxy reply To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

using Dummynet to rate limit ftp
Hi, I have played around with dummynet a bit. Very nice! However, it would be nice to be able to rate limit ftp. The control channel port 21 is easy, and not really necessary to rate limit it, but as fas as I can see there would be no way to rate limit the data channel, as it could be different every time, even in passive mode. Am I missing something? Cheers, Paul Hamilton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update 28 January 2002, $Id: Howto-ask-questions,v 1.3 2003/01/28 00:26:41 grog Exp $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In

Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Last revision: 21 June 1999 The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1.

That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable=YES # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the

If you're the only one that wants to use it, you may have to do the porting. I tried about a year or so ago, but gave up. The SAPDB build tools are extremely Linux-centric (they expect a LSB-compliant filesystem layout, and it's next to impossible to trick it, as paths are hardcoded everywhere). Furthermore, the actual SAPDB product is again, Linux-centric and has all the warts that one would expect. I eventually gave up and just ran it in Linux emulation -- much less effort than making a FreeBSD port. Lots of ports run under linux emulation. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/linux.html Did you get it working well under emulation on FreeBSD?

The defaults are a bit different in STABLE vs. CURRENT (note sendmail_enable=NO).

Well, anyway... The rc.sendmail script supports the following setups: Setup 1. Sendmail accepts mail both on localhost:25 and over the network at address:25 ports. When you set sendmail_enable=YES, it overrides two rc.conf variables, sendmail_submit_enable and sendmail_outbound_enable. A sendmail process is started with /var/spool/mqueue as the queue directory, and mail accepted over a connection to port 25 is delivered as usual through the /var/spool/mqueue queue. You have to also sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES too in this case, to allow local users to deliver mail to Sendmail over an SMTP connection to localhost:25, or use a cron job. The MSP queue runner does *NOT* listen on any port, but runs periodically dequeueing mail from /var/spool/clientmqueue and passing it to the localhost:25 daemon (or any other host that you have configured in your submit.mc config file). Alternatively, you can keep sendmail_msp_queue_enable set to NO, and use a crontab entry to dequeue mail from clientmqueue by running: sendmail -q -Ac Note that you still have to create a valid submit.cf file, even if you use cron to dequeue mail from clientmqueue. Suggested rc.conf entries: - sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES - 2. Sendmail accepts mail only over a connection to port 25 of the localhost interface. To make this work as expected, sendmail_enable should be NO and at the same time sendmail_submit_enable should be yes. Sendmail will start, but listen only on localhost:25 and use /var/spool/mqueue for mail that is received over an smtp connection to the localhost:25 port. This is a very nice setup for dialup users who don't want their Sendmail daemon to listen on any other interface; just loopback. Delivery of outgoing mail still works like a charm, since the daemon started by sendmail_submit_enable will periodically flush /var/spool/mqueue and send mail out. An MSP queue runner or cron job is needed in this sort of setup too. See above. Suggested rc.conf entries: - sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=YES sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES - 3. Sendmail doesn't accept any sort of mail over smtp. It only runs the queue /var/spool/mqueue periodically. This is what sendmail_outbound_enable=YES is most useful for. There are two ways to do this. One of them is with a setuid sendmail process, and one without. 3.a. Setuid-root sendmail process Follow the instructions in /etc/mail/README for changing back to a setuid-root Sendmail setup: chown root /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail rm /etc/mail/submit.cf 3.b. Non-setuid root Sendmail process A bit tricky; you have to manually copy sendmail.cf to submit.cf and set DeliveryMode=queue in submit.cf. This is a setup that I haven't tested a lot, but I'll have some time this weekend. Note: You can not use a clientmqueue runner with this sort of setup, because there is no daemon on localhost:25 to receive the connections from the clientmqueue runner. Suggested rc.conf entries: - sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the filename does not really
consist of question marks, but rather of unprintable characters that ls
displays as '?'.
Hey, OP said that file name consisted of '?'. W/o access to OP's
system or due to lacking output of (something like) ls -B (FreeBSD
4.7-Release), i rather not guess what-could-be. Me no fs (or
people) mind reader.
Then again i did write something like before the proposed
solution (which you omitted from the quote).
:)
I recommend finding the inode number of the offending file:
$ ls -li
total 1
1238024 -rw-rw-r-- 1 mph mph 1 Feb 12 12:07 ?
The inode number in this case is 1238024. Then you can double-check and
delete it with find:
$ find . -inum 1238024
./+
$ find . -inum 1238024 -delete
Exactly my point: use find -inum to find the offending file(s) deal
w/ it(them) as appropriate.

Now can you help me switch my console login service to Kerberos? :) I don't quite get the man pages for PAM and am worried about locking myself out of my system if I do something wrong. Step number 1: log in a different virtual console and leave it logged in. This console is known as insurance ;-) It's really not that hard with a fairly recent FreeBSD ... there should be a pam_krb5 already in there (but commented out). pam.conf is broken into sections, corresponding to the different services that might require authentication. The first block in the pam.conf is for the console login service. Try uncommenting the pam_krb5 line and logging in on a third virtual service. I'm not actually using pam for services other than console login - while pam is great for centralizing authentication, it doesn't magically add encryption of the data stream to the various service daemons (the MIT kerberoos -x switch for most app's). You'll needs service daemons that specifically support that. Hmmm. Now that I think about it, with Heimdal in the base install, the normal daemons /might/ actually do that. It doesn't apply to me as I'm use MIT krb5, but it'd be worth investigating if you're using the heimdal in the base install. - Tillman -- Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.

However when I try to copy any (non-tiny) files, using scp for example, it floods the network connection and messes up the audio stream.

Re: need some sendmail help
PS: If you're about to ask ``Why isn't all this in the Handbook already?'' suffice it to say that I've been experimenting and reading about Sendmail a lot the past few weeks. I'm trying now to collect all the notes from the mess I have in my bedroom and sit my lazy *ss down to write a new Sendmail chapter for the Handbook. Thank you for your fine writeup! For some time I have been struggling to set up a network with the following configuration: 2x R4.7p4s and 1x W2k boxes on the local LAN and a R4.6 box as the gateway to the world on a ADSL line. A registered domain is pointing to my fixed IP address. All boxes can exchange mail on the LAN, send mail to the wide world and fetch mail using fetchmail. But mail to my registered domain seems to go to device zero. I am left with questions like what is the difference in sendmail configuration between the LAN PCs and the gateway PC? How can I check that my ISP has me set up properly for resolving reverse lookups? My MX records at zoneedit.com? Will my ISPs mail server cooperate? When you write the new Handbook chapter I hope you will keep the home user in mind and cover some of my points.
