ftp woes

2007-06-22 Thread RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN

Hello all i have been going crazy trying to sort out this ftp problem. I have a 
server machine that is connected directly to the net i have opened my ipf 
firewall to accept all connections. At first i thought i did not need ipnat 
rules becuase this host is not acting as a gateway just a standalone machine. I 
added these rules to ipnat just to be on the safe side even though i do not 
have a internal network. 

# This rule will handle all the traffic for the internal LAN: 
map xl0 192.168.0.0/16 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp 

# This rule handles the FTP traffic from the gateway: 
map xl0 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp 

# THE RULE THAT FORWARDS EVERTHING 
map xl0 192.168.0.0/16 -> 0/32 
map xl0 192.168.1.0/16 -> 0/32 

I tried the default ftpd and lukemftp now i have installed and configured 
proftpd 

I can login ok but when i try to do a cd or ls i always get this error 

ftp new.computerking.ca

you can always use ktrace

-CURRENT is for developers or users who want to contribute in
the development process of FreeBSD. And as Noberto said, there
is a lot of debugging info enabled, which make debugging
possible, but hurt performance greatly.

No worries, just download and install 6.2-RELEASE.

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html

or a snapshot of 6-STABLE, which is updated
in a slow pace, for fixes or security holes.

http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/

Releases are considered to be the most stable.
Install 6.2-RELEASE and if you feel like updating
you can use freebsd-update.

Keep in mind that all these new, old, released
or other, are relative to the operating system
itself and not the third party programs(packages,
ports) you'll be using(GNOME, firefox, etc). Ports
are not branched and same versions are used in
all branches... So, running a supported release
does not mean, that you have to run legacy packages.

What does this mean?: +g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=32768, length=2048)]error = 5

2007-06-22 Thread Bill Moran

Noticed the message in the subject in last night's security run.

Is this a sign of impending drive failure?  Some google searches turned
up information about Areca drivers and lots of unanswered questions.
This system doesn't have an Areca driver, and it's been rock-solid
for about 2 months now.  This is the first time I've seen these errors.

The error (in case the subject gets mangled):

2007-06-22 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

hi,
  lately I shopped at cafepress.com and found they also host virtual store
for you. so how about have the fbsd foundation set up a store there with
daemon's logo on some merchandise? and the $$ that made goes to the
foundation? of course this would require that having the agreement using the
logo from the people owing the copy right. anyway, just an idea..

I'd love to but some of my hardware is not supported by 6.2.
Audio chipset Sigmatel 9221 is not supported.
My SATA controller had an issue on 6.2 (I wrote about that on the
list: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-March/145701.html)
and in the end I was advised to try -CURRENT. This is whar I did and
was happy for a while. Sound and HDD are working perfectly, and
performance is OK even with the debugging options enabled in kernel.
But now I am left without OpenOffice (yes, there is another current
thread here). I Guess it's time to switch to Google Docs for a while,
until 7-RELEASE is out.. ;-)

Thanks for comments.

Maybe it is just the medium. You could try reproducing
the problem using dd. And then try another medium to see
what's going on.

Whups ... never mind, just realized the cause.

Must be working too hard ... I'd completely forgotten that I'd tried to
mount a CD when there was nothing in the tray yesterday.  Thanks for the
quick response.  Sorry for the noise.

Yes, the command is wrong.

Are you saying that this is a second problem?

Are you sure that the sysctl value changed?  
Did you look at it after changing it to make sure it really shows up
as different?

First look at what depends on the existing port.  
If nothing, you may do better to remove that first.

nve driver clarifications with 6.2-RELEASE

2007-06-22 Thread Matthew Bloch
Hi there, I'm a Linux expert, FreeBSD novice trying to get a FreeBSD
bootstrap together for our network and am stuck because nForce network
chips are a pain in the backside :)

I wonder if anyone can confirm what I've found and suggest an easier way
forward:

Basically I can install 6.2-RELEASE off a CD-ROM in the office but there
is no nve0 device on this particular Gigabyte m61pm-S2 board - based on
similar experience with the Linux forcedeth driver, I assume that we
just need a newer driver.  However I understand that the nve driver is a
dead-end and that the nfe driver will replace it from 7.0.

So in order to use this on our bootstrap system, I will need to rebuild
the kernel, taking nve out and compiling nfe (with the relevant PHY
patch) in.  Is that about the quickest way to fix this?  I'd be very
interested to know if anyone could suggest a solution that didn't
involve rebuilding the kernel.

Thanks for any tips...

Having problems with dhcp6 (still), can anyone help

2007-06-22 Thread Andrew Falanga

Hi,

I'm having a difficult time getting this dhcp for IPv6 (dhcp6 from
ports) working.  I'm embedding my config files in this message.

[dhcp6s.conf]
# The followings are a sample configuration to provide a DNS server address
# for every client as well as to delegate a permanent IPv6 prefix
# 2001:db8:::/48 to a client whose DUID is 00:01:00:01:aa:bb.

option domain-name "ipv6.isolated";
option domain-name-servers fec0::1;

# The followings are a sample configuration to provide an IPv6 address
# from an address pool 2001:db8:1:2::1000-2000 for 3600[s].
# Note. You have to send an RA to fxp0; otherwise a client cannot be sure
# about the prefix-length and the default router.  If you want to prevent
# stateless address configuration via RA, please set the autonomous-flag to
# OFF in your RA configuration.

interface sis0 {
address-pool isolated_pool 3600;
};

pool isolated_pool {
range fec0::11 to fec0::20;
};

[dhcp6c.conf]
# The followings are a sample configuration for requiring the "stateless"
# DHCPv6 service.
interface sis0 {
information only;
};

(There's actually a little more in this file, but it's all commented out.)

As you can see from the config files, in my isolated environment, I'm
using IPv6 addresses fec0::/64 (can't remember the RFC number, that
this is the equivalent to 192.168.0.0).

Basically, nothing is happening.  I have a server on which I start
dhcp6s.  Using sockstat, I can see that this process is actually
listening for incoming requests.  Then, on my client side I start
dhcp6c.  Well, to help me work out the issues I installed wireshark to
see what's happening on the wire ... the answer is ... nothing.  Not a
single packet.

If there is anyone on this list that is familiar with how to setup
this software, please enlighten me.  I'm been searching through what
VERY limited documentation for dhcp6 exists and haven't made any
headway as of yet.  I found some discussion boards on sourceforge.net
for this software project, but there was pitiful little there as well,
not to mention only a few postings.

Any help is appreciated.

nfe exists, but you need to grab your sources _prior_ to booting up for 
the first time (can retrieve them by adding the source distributions), 
because the RELEASE kernel doesn't have the nfe driver, even though the 
STABLE and CURRENT snapshot ISO ones do.

First of all, the instructions are published on the FreeBSD web site.
You can read them there or download them for yourself.
All of that is well documented - much better than one could knock off
in an Email reply.

Second, is there some special reason you would want to install
the 4.8 version?It is long ago obsolete.   I would suggest
installing 6.2-RELEASE unless there is a very good reason to
go with 4.8.

Source Files for SCTP implementation in Freebsd

Hi,
I need to port SCTP implementation to RTOS. For that, I found the KAME

was wondering if anyone could provide  the source files name from cvs
required for SCTP? Moreover, I couldn't find the file "opt_sctp.h" in the
cvs tree which is required to build the project as well. Any help in these
regards would be highly appriciated.

Do you need the KAME implementation?
The implementation in the FreeBSD source tree,
is not the KAME one. It's done by rrs@ and the
copyright says "Cisco Systems".

Who are these guys messing with the network stack???;)

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/

I don't know if the KAME implementation IS the native
SCTP implementation in any system...

dhcrelay

2007-06-22 Thread tradigan
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have a set of FreeBSD
6.2 firewalls.  They each have 3 interfaces in them.  One interface
connects to the 10.94/16 network, the other connects the 192.168.4/24,
192.168.5/24 and 192.168.8/24 networks.

Here is a breakdown of the interfaces:

BSD 1
bge0 10.94.2.222/16
xl0 "up"
xl1 "up"
vlan2 192.168.4.2/24
vlan3 192.168.5.2/24
vlan4 192.168.8.2/24
carp1 10.94.2.221/16
carp2 192.168.4.1/24
carp3 192.168.5.1/24
carp4 192.168.8.1/24

BSD 2
bge0 10.94.2.223/16
xl0 "up"
xl1 "up"
vlan2 192.168.4.3/24
vlan3 192.168.5.3/24
vlan4 192.168.8.3/24
carp1 10.94.2.221/16
carp2 192.168.4.1/24
carp3 192.168.5.1/24
carp4 192.168.8.1/24

BSD 1 is the current CARP master for all interfaces.  For dhcrelay in
rc.conf I have:
dhcrelay_enable="YES"
dhcrelay_servers="10.94.2.204" # IP to MS Server 2003 DHCP server
dhcrelay_ifaces="bge0 vlan2 vlan3 vlan4"
dhcrelay_flags="-a"

In MS Server 2003 there is a superscope defined with scopes for each
network (10.94/16, 192.168.4., 192.168.5., and 192.168.8.)

The problem is, it doesn't seem like the BSD box is forwarding the DHCP
requests to the DHCP server.  It will NOT get an address.  If I manually
assign an IP address, the client talks fine to the other networks.

There are no firewall/nat rules loaded at all.. PF is running but without
a rule set it defaults to allow all.. any ideas?

Thanks - I did work out how to rebuild the kernel and it was fairly
painless in the end.  If I will only have to do one bodged installer for
6.2 before 7.0 includes the driver I want as standard, and then I
*don't* have to rebuild future releases, that should do for now.

RE: Upgrading to 6.2-RELEASE from 6.2-STABLE

The mountroot was failing to find and mount /dev/da0s1a.  The device
/dev/da0s1a is in /etc/fstab.  Going to the loader prompt and loading the
old kernel booted fine.  So the problem appears to lie somewhere in the boot
files or I added a option/device I probably should not have in the kernel.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

2007-06-22 Thread Greg Lehey
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 O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF
form.  Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to
download the entire book.  See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ 
for more information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?
Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be
able to help

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

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.

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@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]").  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  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
  Fr

Virtually all of the information that you will require is available
via the FreeBSD web site. You could start there. This URL will give
you quite a bit of information for installing and running FBSD:

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

Why are you so intent on using version 4.8 anyway? That  is a
depreciated version. I would recommend the latest stable version - 6.2
for you to start out with.

Instead of thinking of spam as a disease that might be eliminated,
it is more useful to think of it like crime, war and cockroaches.
It is not realistic to expect to eliminate any of these, no matter
how much anyone might wish otherwise. Therefore the best we can
hope to accomplish is to bring spam under reasonable control...

Re: Network Problem in FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5

2007-06-22 Thread ExTaZyTi

Is the FreeBSD machine performing NAT for the Windows box?
extazyti: yes with PF firewall. (But I don't have this problem before
re-build my world+kernel (my last fbsd was fbsd6.2-STABLE. But this problem
exist again in fbsd6.2-STABLE when I have build option ot drop TCP+SYN and
have some bug..I donk know what exactly))

Are you saying that this is a second problem?
extazyti: YES. because I think limmiting my connectins is normal when I have
"net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2" but Now I haven't this sysctl option and this is
problem again.

How are you doing the scan, and how do you know the ports are not
really open?
extazyti: I use PortScan with a delay MS - 20 (He sends TCP4-sockets) and
ports It's not really open because there is no program to open random ports
with this values and I use the netstat command. Aslo this problem was again
before time when I have bugged again my kernel with TCP_DROP SYN+FIN in my
kernel.

Which sysctl?
extazyti: ALL, I put "#" before all texts in my sysctl.conf and reboot my
system.

Are you sure that the sysctl value changed?
extazyti: I think yes..after restart and I changed special
net.inet.tcp.blackhole to "0".

Did you look at it after changing it to make sure it really shows up
as different?
extazyti: No. But I think reboot changes to default this options when have
"#" before all texts in /etc/sysctl.conf

troubles getting ports index

Hello,
   Is anyone else having difficulties getting the ports index? I do:

cd /usr/ports
make fetchindex

and the download speed is so slow that it eventually halts and i get an 
error about the file being truncated. This has been occurring all day today 
on several machines and i'm starting to wonder if it's something local or an 
issue with the server i'm pulling from?

FreeBSD 6.2 Mail Retrieval Configuration

2007-06-22 Thread Jarrod Hildebrand

Hi all,
I am working as a temp co-op student for a small business, and was given my
first project. Email responses are part our daily duties in my work
environment. We currently use gmail for our three email accounts. One is
internal, and the other two are not. Seeing as how gmail doesnt sync with
the other addresses, we have to constantly use gmails fetch settings to
retrieve mail from the other two addresses. Im in the midst of setting up
FreeBSD POP3 and IMAP4 for retrieving e-mail, and (LDAP) for directory
services. I need advice on how to configure the clients to retrieve there 2
email addresses from there XP machines using FreeBSD. There are so many
ports and packages to use Im not sure which ones to pick, and where to
start. Ive got Procmail & Fetchmail installed on FrreBSD. I want to have
Exim to hand off the email addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to procmail , which in
turn will run it thru SpamAssassin. Then to send a copy to GMail and deliver
one locally. Also archives a copy on the server in monthly mbox files as a
secondary backup
I got 5 days to have it up and running!

Any configuration ideas for Postfix, Procmail, Fetchmail
The setup will only be used for retrieval only, with no need to use it as
an SMTP relay server. Im not looking for a large response, but if anyone
could give me some info on what to install (in what order) and how to
configure the protocols would be greatly appreciated.
There is no registered domain for our company, so my goal is to just receive
emails, and store them locally
Resource recommendations would help too.

THANKS!

I use Postfix with Dovecot and Fetchmail to harvest email from  GMail,
as well as send it. You mentioned that you did not need SMTP services.
Personally, I would loose Procmail. It is a memory hog, and Dovecot
with sieve is a better proposition IMHO.

I am not sure what you are exactly looking for; however, using
virtual accounts with Postfix or Postfix and Dovecot might ease your
setup problems.

Hi,

With a SMP kernel, multi-core processors will be detected with no problem. 
Since FBSD uses Xorg, you might find a list of supported video cards at

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE / Gnome / Beryl (recipe)

2007-06-22 Thread Eduardo Viruena Silva



Hello Guys,

After several hours of compilation, I have got
my FreeBSD/Gnome/Beryl working properly.  It took
almost 2 days of compiling processes.

To those who are interested, here is a log of
what I did:


Installed the minimal installation of
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE.  When my computer
woke up, I configure its mouse (a PS/2
microsoft optical mouse) by adding
the next lines to /etc/rc.conf:

moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-z 4"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"

 michelle#  /etc/rc.d/moused start

Once it was working, I installed cvsup-without-gui:

 michelle#  pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
 michelle#  rehash

Configured my /etc/cvsupfile as shown:

-/etc/cvsupfile--
*default  host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
*default  base=/usr
*default  prefix=/usr
*default  release=cvs
*default  tag=RELENG_6
*default  delete use-rel-suffix

src-all
*default tag=.
ports-all
doc-all
 end of /etc/cvsupfile  -

Updated my system to 6.2-STABLE:

   michelle#  cvsup /etc/cvsupfile

(several hours later... )

Prepared my system to build the world.

   michelle#  cd /etc/src
   michelle#  make buildworld

(several hours later...)

   michelle#  make installworld
   michelle#  mergemaster

This last step makes a lot of questions.
I aswered "i" (install) to all of them.


Configured my kernel:

   michelle# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
   michelle# cp GENERIC eviruena

Added my particular necessities:

...
   michelle# vi eviruena
   options  SMP
   device   atapicam
   device   drm
   device   i915drm
   device   sound
...
   michelle# config eviruena
   michelle# cd ../compile/eviruena
   michelle# make cleandepend
   michelle# make depend
   michelle# make
   michelle# make install
   michelle# reboot

In this point you have to check that you have
the device file: /dev/agpgart, if you don't,
perhaps your graphic card is not properly
handled by FreeBSD.


I installed Xorg 7.2.  It can be obtained from
FreeBSD packages:

   michelle# pkg_add -r xorg

it can take a lot of time, depending on your
ISP.  Some others (fearless men) prefer to compile
it from the ports, check the file
/usr/ports/UPGRADING  before doing anything.

Now, the problem is to get "gnome" installed.
I did not find it in the packages of 6-STABLE,
so I compiled it:

   michelle# setenv BATCH yes
   michelle# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
   michelle# make clean install clean

as you can see, I am working with tcsh, if you
prefered bourne shell, you have to type:

export BATCH=yes

instead of:
setenv BATCH yes


(one day later...)

[Michelle (my computer) had some problems to find
"opal-2.2.8.tar.gz"; I found it by google-ing it, loaded
it in /usr/ports/distfiles and continued Gnome compilation].

Finally, gnome was compiled and installed.

Then, I needed to compile beryl:

michelle# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/beryl
michelle# make clean install clean


Next, I had to configure X.  It is quite simple, but it is
a little tricky:

   michelle# X -configure

I had to make some changes to the configuration
obtained above, basicly I needed to include some options
that are not loaded by default.  I have to say that I own
an intel motherboard and I am using its graphic card
(it is an i950GM).  The X configuration requires to
include:

(in section "ServerLayout")
   Option   "AIGLX" "true"

(in secion "Device")
Option  "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option  "DRI" "true"

(in section "Screen")
DefaultDepth 24
Option   "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

and, finally, I needed to add another two sections:

   Section "Extensions"
   Option "Composite" "Enable"
   EndSection

   Section "dri"
  Mode 0666
   EndSection


You must be warned that ATI and Nvidia Cards may requiere some
other options, please take a look at:

 http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/FreeBSD

Of course, you can add any other options in your X configuration,
v. gr., your keyboard layout or your mouse extensions, in
Mexico, for instance, we use Latinamerican keyboard, so I
included:

(in section "InputDevice" [keyboard])
   Option  "XkbRules" "xorg"
   Option  "XkbModel" "pc105"
   Option  "XkbLayout" "latam"

Now, I had an account and in this account I configured gnome
to start with my X session:

  michelle> echo "exec gnome-start" > .xinitrc
  michelle> chmod a+x .xinitrc

and tested X & gnome:

  michelle> startx

everything worked ok.  Now, I opened a system terminal and I
typed:

 michelle>  beryl-manager

as a consequence of this, a ruby was displayed in my launch bar.
I had wobbly windows, cubic desktops, etc.



I have to thank to Reid Linnemann from the freebsd-questions list,
for suggesting me compile 6.2-STABLE, and to Jose Luis Enriquez,
for helping me to configure X.


Hope it helps.


Cheers,

   Eduardo.

not being an code worrier myself, I usually update my port tree first, then
do a clean install (make clean; make install distclean) like that, then get

ethernet interface not configured

2007-06-22 Thread Sethu Rao
Hi,

I installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a linux box (complete overwrite). The
sysinstall utility did not recognize my Ethernet interface at all.


Running "pciconf -l -v " after the install gave the following for the
Ethernet interface:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0:...
Vendor = Broadcom
Class = network
Subclass = Ethernet

Here is the output of "uname -a"

FreeBSD sethur-bsd.juniper.net 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386

I installed from a CD that a colleague had bought. Also, the admin guide
that came with the CD says bridging is not enabled by default and the
kernel needs to be recompiled with the bridging option enabled. Is this
the reason why the Ethernet driver was not installed? I will appreciate
your help on how to install the Ethernet driver. Thanks.

Regards,
Sethu.

if you are using 6.2-STABLE then you have to set:

XAuthLocation /usr/local/bin/xauth

in ssd_config.

and restart the ssh daemon:

/etc/rc.d/sshd restart

I guess I misread.

2007-06-22 Thread Blah Blatz
I thought that I followed the directions in UPDATING regarding Xorg 7.2, but, 
uh, I guess I didn't.  My computer now seems beyond repair, with respect to X.  
I'm strongly considering giving up, wiping the hard drive, reinstalling 
FreeBSD, and restoring my personal stuff from backups.

So, my questions:

If I do that, and install the latest xorg on a completely fresh FreeBSD box:

Do I have to set XORG_UPGRADE (or whatever it's called)?

Should I still use portupgrade-devel instead of portupgrade? I would rather 
just use portupgrade, if I can.

Do I have to follow any of the other directions in UPDATING regarding this... 
stuff?

Or can I just do a normal old "cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg; make install" without 
any of the special new exciting xorg crap in UPDATING?

I have googled about this, but have found seemingly conflicting statements, 
which is why I am explicitly asking.

Thank you in advance for any help.

just set XORG_UPGRADE, and go into the folder and 'make install clean'.  
however, i did myself a favor, and did 'make BATCH=yes package-recursive', 
and saved them for later.  (man ports)

IPv6 Setup...

2007-06-22 Thread Eric Crist

Hello all,

I've been toying with getting IPv6 installed and running for a while,  
and I've got only one hurdle remaining.


I have 5 servers on my quaint little network, and my primary firewall  
is configured with an IPv6 address, we'll say 1000:2000:1::6 and is  
connected to my ISP through a gif tunnel (router doesn't support IPv6  
yet, on my end) to 1000:2000:1::5.  I can ping6 all day long across  
this tunnel, and I can even connect through this firewall to other  
sites using the IPv6 addresses.


I've been given 2001:4900:1:0111::/64 for my use.  I've configured / 
etc/rc.conf on my first two machines with ipv6_enable="YES" and given  
them 2001:4980:1:0111::1 and 2001:4980:1:0111::2.  Each machine can  
ping6 itself, but they cannot ping6 eachother.  I know the copper is  
good, and my ipv6 is running along side my ipv4 addresses and such.   
In addition, there are no firewalls in between.


Is there something I'm missing?

Also, what the heck is rtadvd_enable="YES" actually doing for me?  I  
understand it's broadcasting some routing stuff so my other hosts can  
auto-configure their IPv6 addresses, but anything else?


Thanks a lot all!

If you use a minimal install, without any ports, you can just start with
creating the link: /usr/X11R6 /usr/local.

Then there is not reason to use portupgrade (other than comfort) or follow any
of the instructions in UPDATING.

I think the rcommended procedure is to install the new kernel before installing
world. and why did you all this config and depend stuff instead of buildkernel,
installkernel?

It's a good idea to create the Symlink /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/local before
installing anything. I expect future releases to have this out of the box.
