Vinum and SoftUpdates
Hi folks. I have a few boxes which have recently begun to behave rather badly - frequent panics and lots of errors being spewed out during fsck on reboot. I note that these particular boxes have one thing in common - they have vinum devices which are also mounted with softupdates enabled. Is this OK? I have not been able to find any mention of softupdates in the vinum man pages. Thanks for any pointers.

Greg 'groggy' Lehey writes: That's because there's nothing to say about them. What was the cause of the panic? Greg, Thanks for following up. I realise my original post was rather scanty on detail, but I was just wondering about the specific combination of vinum/softupdates. Since you indicate that this combination should not be a problem in itself, I will need to dig deeper. Unfortunately I have only heard about the problems on these servers after the fact. I will need to rebuild their kernels with debugging, etc, as I did on my own box previously, and then wait for another crash and see what gdbmods reveals. I'll be in touch when I have something more useful in the way of clues.

I realy can't see that from here. What you need to do is to do a check on every machine that doesn't work. I find it best to go from where the process begins and go all the way down to portupgrade. Try to find where it goes wrong. It could be that the crontab is wrong or that portupgrade isn't installed. Alex, thanks for your response. I've tried what you say before I sent the email. What confuses me is that the script runs fine if I log in and run it at the CLI. And it definitely runs from cron, because I get the email I am expecting, which is the output that would normally go to the terminal. So, the crontab is evidently active, and portupgrade is correctly installed and configured. But the actual fetch of the file simply does not happen if it is run from cron... Yet, on other servers it all works fine... ?!?!?!? Still confused.

Which Releases are stillsupported
Hi all. I know things are very different in the Open Source world, so the concept of officially supported versions is probably nonsense, but here's my dilemma: I received an email from Cyclades in which they told me: I am sorry to tell you, but the latest FreeBSD version supported by our driver is version 4.4. The driver is not tested with newer FreeBSD versions and therefor we cannot support it. Now, since 4.4 was dated September 2001, it is now more than two years old. I keep my servers up to date (currently at 4.8-p13). So - my question - is 4.4 still a supported branch, or has it now been consigned to history? I couldn't find any policy statement WRT older releases at freebsd.org, though I might have looked in the wrong places...

Re: Which Releases arestillsupported
Kris Kennaway writes: Most forms of support provided by the FreeBSD Project are on an ad-hoc basis, since it's a community-supported project. Typically, old releases do not get bug fixes beyond security fixes (for a limited lifetime, see http://www.freebsd.org/security), so bug reports against old releases are usually dealt with by asking the originator to upgrade to the latest release to verify whether the problem still exists, at which point an interested developer might be able to address the problem. A similar situation exists with the ports collection. It is not guaranteed to work with old releases, and updated packages are only provided for the head of the -STABLE branch. Kris Thanks Kris. It's a pity that Cyclades are so focussed on Linux that they are ignoring BSD... The fact that I have more than 10 of their devices (and I'm sure there must be many more in the field on BSD platforms) does not seem to concern them. One day when I'm big I'll learn some C and try including the if_cpc driver into the source tree.

Can I use GRE on a gif device?
Hi all. I have successfully configured a tunnel from a BSD box to a Cisco router using the gif device to implement the BSD end of the tunnel. The Cisco Technician doing the far end of the config said that the protocol of choice for the job is GRE (protocol 47 according to /etc/protocols). However, I found that gif is using IPENCAP (protocol 4 according to /etc/protocols). Said technician told me that GRE encrypts the tunneled data, while IPENCAP does not. So I guess there are really 2 questions: 1) Would it be wiser for me to run a tunnel on GRE than on IPENCAP? 2) Is there a way to tell gif to use GRE as the encapsulation protocol? I find no reference to GRE in the gif man page. Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

So I guess the warnings in the BUGS section of the mount_union and mount_null man pages are still in full effect.

Re: restrictive ipfw ruleset and ftp

i have a restrictive ipfw ruleset that works great.. it only allows

etc..
All the stuff they might need to do.
how can i handle passive ftp though?
i can let 21 out, but when the remote ftp server says use this x high
port.. i block that because it's not in my list. so what can i do to get
around this.
not totally familiar with it, but is this what fw_punch is for within
nat??
Personally, I have a pair of rules something similar to the following:
ipfw add {n} allow tcp from ${inet}:${imask} 1024-65535 to any 1024-65535
setup in via ${iif}
ipfw add {n} allow tcp from ${inet}:${imask} 1024-65535 to any 1024-65535
setup out via ${oif}
This is quite wide, but ensures that only outbound connections on the high
port numbers are permitted, both on the source and the destination ends of
the connection.
Perhaps some real experts will give you a more definitive answer...

I saw this link about S3 Savage at http://www.xfree86.org/support.html a private developer at http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html where he says: xvideo on the Savage2000 still seems to be broken. I don't know when I'll be able to get around to this. Thus far, the install process is overly complicated and not inviting to new users. I could provide specific feedback on this if anyone wants it.

Ports Name changes
Hi all. Occasionally ports have their names changed (as happened yesterday with autoconf and automake). Now when I run portupgrade I keep getting warnings that the names have changed, though there is no upgrade required. What steps should I follow to correct the names of my installed ports to match the latest names in the ports tree? would a portupgrade -f of each renamed port do the trick? Or would that be like using a bulldozer to skim a bowl of custard?

5.0-DP2 ACLs on UFS2
Hey all, I've recently installed FreeBSD 5.0-DP2 to get myself familiar with the upcoming ACLs present in -CURRENT before the release itself. I've setup a test machine with one 45gb ide drive with one slice and two partitions (/ and swap) and installed FreeBSD on it. dumpfs / shows that root is UFS2, and from reading /usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/README.acls, I don't need to do the extattrctl initattr commands since ufs2 supports EA/ACLs natively. Additionally, I booted to single user mode and enabled ACLS on / by doing a tunefs -a enable /dev/ad0s1a. I proceeded to try getfacl and setfacl. getfacl returned the default settings (just stat() in ACL form according to Robert Watson), however, no matter what I tried all I could get with setfacl -m g:mail:rwx testfile was: setfacl: acl_get_file() failed: Operation not supported I thought perhaps the tunefs on the ro mount of / did not take. So instead I used the mount time flag in fstab: /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw,acls 1 1 I rebooted, and tried again. Yet I still get the same error message with setfacl. At this point I'm stuck. Is it because I only have / and not / and /usr? Does UFS2 with EA/ACLs not work on boot partitions? Or did I misunderstand something when trying to setup ACLs in -CURRENT? Any advice right now would be welcomed. Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Jail setup with mount_union?
Nevermind. I just tried a couple of jail setups with a base and a couple of mount_union'd directories. My machine promptly locked up on loggin into them with ssh. Bleh.

rsync of /usr/ports on local lan?
Have a small network here of FreeBSD machines (-stable and -current). I have on my production FreeBSD machine setup an rsyncd via xinetd, and would like to rsync /usr/ports across to the other FreeBSD machines so I wouldn't have to crontab cvsup on all of them (thus putting more load on my limited bandwidth, and adding unnecessary load to the cvsup servers). Things appear to be working. However, I'm currently running the rsync commands on the client machines over ssh, which means I need ssh root access, on top of which using public key encryption (so I can crontab the rsync commands). Is there a better way to do this? Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

PowerEdge 2850 AMD64 panics
This is my first post to the FreeBSD mailing list, and unfortunatley its because I've been having a vexing problem with one of my servers. The machine in question is a Dell PowerEdge 2850 w/2 3Ghz EMT64 Xeons, 2gbs of ram, a Perc 4e/Di w/6 300GB drives. This machines primary function is as a mail server running Exim. Below is a DMESG from this machine. This machine is running the AMD64 port of freebsd, and what is happening is often when the volume of incoming mail gets pretty high, the machine will panic and reboot. I have tried to capture a dump but it always fails dumping before it completes, usually before its dumped more then 24MB. The few times that I have seen the console when its happened the panic was something to do with UFS. I have upgraded the bios and firmwares on everything, and that increased the stability of the machine. I also turned off soft updates on all the file systems, which also further increased stability, however there is still a problem. Any pointers/hints/tips/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Also, if more information is needed let me know and I would be happy to provide it. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

You are running RELENG_6 now, which is much more recent than RELENG_6_0_RELEASE. The first one is the top of the 6.X branch, which changes moderately slow, but it *does* change. The 6.0-RELEASE source tree is frozen in time at the point the tag was placed on the source tree. my questions: 1) after cvsup, i think i can assume that sendmail is now compiling from sourcecode that should definatly be free from the current exploit. i would also assume that anything that i would need to recompile from /usr/src should also see the benefit of 'latest source code'? Yes, both true. 2) on a production server, should i avoid recompiling a kernel that will be FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE? on the whole, how reliable is the bulk of these newer sources that were pulled down by cvsup? In general, if you a bit paranoid, you should avoid running RELENG_6 on a production system. At least until you have thoroughly tested it on a test system and found everything working as expected. i can definatly see the benefits of using cvsup to take care of problem with some things (like sendmail), but allowing it to update everything under the /usr/src tree, im wondering if i could be setting myself up for issues (by not editing the stable-supfile and taking only what i need). This is why each FreeBSD release is associated with at least: * A frozen tag, like RELENG_6_0_RELEASE * A security branch, like RELENG_6_0 * A stable branch, like RELENG_6 Changes go very fast in the CURRENT FreeBSD branch. After they settle in for a while, soem of them are backported to the RELENG_X branch. The RELENG_X branch changes much slower than the experimental, CURRENT branch, but it does change every time a new feature is backported to RELENG_X. Then, when security fixes are made available, they are added both to the RELENG_X branch and the RELENG_X_Y security branches. If all you want is the frozen release sources plus changes that are really really necessary, because they fix a serious security bug, you probably want RELENG_X_Y (RELENG_6_0 in this case). Regards, Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] thank you kindly for your reply, that was quite informative. ive actually read the document on the differences between the stable, current, and release (or whatever), and find that system quite confusing for the moment. im sure ill grasp the method of the madness eventually. i guess what confuses me, is that i read about those, and then try to find them on the ftp sites. i assume, that only release is made into a .iso file? and to move to a higher version (either the security RELENG_6_0 or stable RELENG_6), you do this thru the cvsup tool. Yes, as far as I can tell that is correct, it confused me at first. The iso image is the latest release for each branch. so, by your descriptions and reply to my previous comments, my system that is running what says 6.1-PRERELEASE is really RELENG_6 (stable) ? Again correct. Don't forget 'stable' is not that stable it is a snapshot of 'current' that is stable enough to be released. thanks, Jonathan Horne The other confusing this is that the tags only realy refer to the 'userland' ie the core system. The ports get updated as and when. On the system I am currently working on which will be a production server, I don't whant too much change when in prodction so I am following the 6.0 branch at present (RELENG_6_0). I have portaudit installed which tells me what ports have been updated through security issues and I can decide if I need to update them. Apart from that I will probably leave it alone.

Re: Bind as a chaching nameserver
Hello, I've recently been getting a lot of trouble with SpamAssassin performing a lot of rDNS lookups which is causing network issues (timeouts etc to DNS servers). I am trying to install BIND (or djbdns) as a simple caching nameserver. Just to take some of the load off the networks DNS servers (my ISPs). However I am having trouble finding a good tutorial to follow. I've looked at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dns.html but its mainly going on about being a nameserver which is not what I am after, wanting to keep it more simple than that. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc] $ named -v BIND 9.3.1 Can anyone suggest me a good tutorial to follow, I've googled but mostly they are for debain/redhat and some of the commands and files are different. Cheers Richard Richard, What you need is a caching DNS. See para 25.6.7. If you don't use forwarders this will bypass your ISPs DNS. There are other solutions too, try Google for them.

Re: WinSCP mega-slowness
Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one seing this. Right now both machines are running FreeBSD, since I gave up on waiting for Windows to copy the files. The CPU load on Window when sending 1 meg per second is usually about 30%, while the Unix box is only at 1-2%. When I have 2 Unix boxes sending/receiving, I think the load is like 4-5% on both. I'm building a bunch of packages right now, so I can't get the exact number. I could try the openssh patch later in the week, that would be great if there was a unix-side fix for this. Of course as I run FreeBSD more, and Windows less, the problem will go away, too. thanks!

Specifically, if I copy from FreeBSD to FreeBSD, files transfer at 11 megs per second. Between FreeBSD and Linux, at about 8 megs per second. Between FreeBSD and Windows, about 1 megabyte per second. This is on identical hardware. I've told other people about this, and they usually say I must be doing something wrong, but recently a friend of mine upgraded a Windows box to SP2, and now they are getting this same slowness. When I copy from Windows to WIndows (XP or W2k), I get 11 megs per second. My machines are two P4's with gigabit NICs, and I'm using WinSCP and (somtimes) pscp.exe on WIndows to talk to sshd on FreeBSD. It's always a shock when I have to copy my data to WIndows, and it takes 30 hours instead of 3. Does anyone else ever see this slowness when copying files between FreeBSD and Windows?

Not that its specifics and origins are clearly known, but most of us stumble upon it sooner or later. You can usually achieve wire speed only between two OSes of a kind. TCP/IP optimizations are very important here: if they differ, performance plummets. Depends on a multitude of things from quality of NICs to weather in your area. I've never been able to get more than 70Mbit/s between FreeBSD and Windows XP. I always get 90-100Mbit/s between two BSDs or two Win's. As for your case, 1MB/s is a serious limit. What can you tell us about CPU load? Interrupts? Can you try this: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ If you have both the XP and FreeBSD machines on the same internal network, why not enable file sharing on the XP box and use Samba Client on the freeBSD box. I have found SMB to be a lot faster as it is running as a service on XP.

IPF: Apparent packet duplication logged by IPF
Hi all. I am having a strange situation with IPF. I am trying to log all passed packets (the log is passed to a third-party stats program for graphical analysis). The problem is that I see many packets apparently being duplicated in the ipmon.log. The packet enters the firewall from the internal interface OK, but it appears to be transmitted out to the internet twice. Conversely, there are often multiple inbound packets from the internet which become just one on the internal interface. See these two examples (beware of line-wrap): 1) Internet to LAN 09:30:00.508378 2x ed1 @0:21 P 196.35.72.139,443 - 192.168.0.180,1277 PR tcp len 20 296 -AP K-S IN 09:30:00.509446 hdlc5 @0:21 P 196.35.72.139,443 - 192.168.0.180,1277 PR tcp len 20 296 -AP K-S OUT 2) LAN to internet (168.209.221.66 is my NAT address) 09:30:00.616102 hdlc5 @0:21 P 192.168.0.180,1277 - 196.35.72.139,443 PR tcp len 20 40 -A K-S IN 09:30:00.616188 ed1 @0:21 P 168.209.221.66,1277 - 196.35.72.139,443 PR tcp len 20 40 -A K-S OUT 09:30:00.616275 ed1 @0:21 P 168.209.221.66,1277 - 196.35.72.139,443 PR tcp len 20 40 -A K-S OUT I don't believe the packets are ACTUALLY being resent twice, because the stats I have under MRTG indicate matching traffic volumes on the corresponding interfaces. I suspect the issue has something to do with how IPF and IPMON log the packets. But I'm not sure. Any help in understanding/fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

RELENG_5_3 // RELENG_5_3_RELEASE
Hi, I have configured my new BSD server with a RELENG_5_3 tag in the cvs- supfile and I was wondering if I took the right track to update my system. So far I have only compiled and installed the updated ports that I need (in /usr/ports). Since I have switched to the 5_3 instead of 5_3_RELEASE, do I have to do more updates for my system. I guess that the patched software that have been released since the 5_3_RELEASE are included in the 5_3 and that I have to install them somehow. So my question is how ? I guess that this is happening in /usr/src and that I have to make something… Have you got a specific pointer of the steps I have to take to update It properly. Do you think this is a good idea to stick to 5_3 instead of 5_3_RELEASE for a production system (mail server) ? Thanks for your advices. «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ Gregober --- PGP ID -- 0x1BA3C2FD bsd @at@ todoo.biz «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Pthread Problem building clamav-0.86.1
Nope,
The simple answer is to compile clamav with the disable-pthreads
option. Modify the configure args of the Makefile using these
attributes :
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-dbdir=${DBDIR} \
--with-zlib=/usr \
--disable-zlib-vcheck \
--disable-clamuko \
--disable-clamav \
--enable-bigstack \
--disable-gethostbyname_r \
--enable-readdir_r \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
--disable-pthreads
It'll compile smoothly.
Thanks to Matt Fretwell from clamav Mailing List //

Re: 7.0-RELEASE-p6 problem amd64 daemonology
Hello, I think you all deserve a clear information about what has been going on today. After the update of all servers to P-6 - the server could not be booted normaly - in fact they did boot but after that they didn't get back with the prompt… So I ended up in a dead end. As I was working last weeks with the engineers that helped me setup the hardware (and as Intel didn't have a right guideline specifying that TCP ports needed to be opened) - I have ended up mofidying a little parameter in /boot/loader.conf that was aimed to redirect the console to vidconsole comconsole. This little parameter seems to have caused a conflict with the KVM of intel which probably uses the same redirect or blocked us from receiving the output (even from ssh). It took me quite a long time to figure out what was going on as I suspected other problems to have happened. This has all the symptoms of a system freeze, but services were launched (at least some of them)… I have found the solution by booting using a low level prompt that has allowed me to pass the parameter set console=comconsole and all went back to normal. Quite firghtening, but finaly armless.

It works perfectly with the apc network card (It came as an option on my APC 1500). I have setup apcupsd to use snmp (this seems to be the most stable use).

Proxy to filter peer to peer connexion on port 80
Hello folks, I am looking for a good and simple proxy that will allow me to filter peer to peer on my FBSD box - knowing that I have a firewall that already does the job of filtering outside connexions, but people are still using port 80 to download using P2P software. As we have a very limited bandwidth - 512Kbps - and as the resources are very expensive - 5K$ / month - yes this is possible It is actually in Angola ! So considering these figures I would like to install a proxy to filter all port 80 requests. As I haven't been worknig with proxy since many years, I would like to follow good advice. The last memories I had regarding proxy was using Squid // I don't know if this is a good choice ?? Any pointer or how to will be welcome.

Restoreing Dump on FreeBSD headless server
Hello folks, I would like to know how to proceed in order to restore a dump from a backup headless server (remotely using ssh). How am I supposed to proceed, should I first install the server (a FreeBSD Fresh install with spare partition) then restore the dump on an empty partition ? Should the new empty partition be the exact same size as the dumped partition ? Is there a tool that could allow me to restore remotely ? Any advice or howto will be (very) welcome. Thanks. P.S.

Depends on what you have and what you want to restore. Is the reason for the restore because the old disk went belly up? Or did you just nuke some stuff accidently. Is the restore the boot disk or an extra work disk? Well, to tell you the truth: I am using a remote backup solution since 2.5 years and the provider has just told me that he would no longer support my hardware so I need to rebuild a new server based on my previous config In the first case, yes you will need to create something on the disk - some sort of filesystem. Probably that would mean using a fixit image to boot and do an fdisk(8), bsdlabel(8) and newfs(8). Ok, I think the server I will install that on might use some sort of virtual KVM that could allow me to do that It the second case, the filesystem[s] is[are] still intact and you only need to do an 'interactive' restore of just the files you want. IF you are doing an intereactive restore and if you have room, it may be easiest to copy the whole dump file over to some big space on the system and run the restore from that copy. Then you can just ssh in and run it just as if it was setting beside you. The same might not be true if you are replacing a destroyed disk because the restore will be a complete one and no file selecting will be necessary. If you cannot get physical contact with the machine, and the disk was damaged and replaced, you may have to learn how to do a network boot and install. I have never had to do that so am not a good one to guide that process. Well my idea was to rebuild the new server based on the dump I have realised (in order to save me the time to do the reinstall). But from what you are telling me It might not be so easy In either case of having to create slices, partitions and filesystems, you do not have to do a complete system install. You need to do just enough building to have the filesystems created and mountable. Yes but how should I partition that ? Should I re-create the / /var /usr /tmp or / with minimal system and re-create the mapping with nothing on slice. The fixit is just fine for that. If you can get that going remotely, then do the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs-s from that and then restore from the dump to the new filesystems. Ok, that should be the good path Forget about doing a real install. Should the new empty partition be the exact same size as the dumped partition ? It just has to be large enough to hold what you restore. In fact, it is a good time to increase or adjust filesystem sizes if you have more room on the replacement disk. Good Is there a tool that could allow me to restore remotely ? You can use rsh(1). I have done that. Probably some specific ssh method too, but I am so old I haven't done one with that new fangled secure ssh yet... Ok. Thanks. jerry Any advice or howto will be (very) welcome. Thanks. P.S.

I am using dump(8). I have successfully created a backup of all major partition of my server which is now secured on a remote HD. In the first case, yes you will need to create something on the disk - some sort of filesystem. Probably that would mean using a fixit image to boot and do an fdisk(8), bsdlabel(8) and newfs(8). Ok, I think the server I will install that on might use some sort of virtual KVM that could allow me to do that Well, that could be helpful. It should give you a console type access which is convenient in installation situations. Does that 'KVM' supply the backup device too, or talk to it directly? I haven't tried It so I don't know what functionnality It offers… But I guess I might start a fresh install from that console… At which point should I do the restore(8) in the install process ? It the second case, the filesystem[s] is[are] still intact and you only need to do an 'interactive' restore of just the files you want.

But from what you are telling me It might not be so easy I am not clear again just what you are meaning by 'based on the dump I have realised'. Do you mean that you would keep the filesystem structure you have already? IS there a dump file/tape for each filesystem in the old system? Dump is stored on a remote HD. There is one dump file per partition (not for /tmp). If that is what you mean, good. There is no harm in keeping the old filesystem structure if it was working for you. Take a look at how much is used in each filesystem and think if you need to change the size. But, that is just a detail of sizing the partitions and not a critical structure consideration. If the new system has larger disk, then you can make use of it just by making bigger partitions where they are needed. Ok. In either case of having to create slices, partitions and filesystems, you do not have to do a complete system install. You need to do just enough building to have the filesystems created and mountable. Yes but how should I partition that ? Should I re-create the / /var /usr /tmp or / with minimal system and re-create the mapping with nothing on slice. Create what you want it to be and go from there unless the old and the new structure are incompatible in some way. My usual set of partitions/filesystems are: / swap /tmp /usr /var /home or other convenient name such as /bighome /work if there is a lot of extra space on the new disk and you don't want it clumped in with the rest for some reason. I usually put all the rest in that /bighome filesystem. If I have an extra disk with lots of space, I make that /work But, if your structure is working for you, stick with it. The fixit is just fine for that. If you can get that going remotely, then do the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs-s from that and then restore from
re-installing a port to a specific version
Hello, I am re-installing a server where I have an old version of slony installed (db replication for postgresql)… I am keeping my port tree up to date with portmaster (I have added an +IGNOREME file in order to avoid updates on this specific port). I have to change server, a new server has been installed with a fresh BSD install. I want to know how i can copy, or re-install this specific port… I have in my possession : 1. the distfiles located on the running server in /usr/ports/distfiles/slony.xx 2. a newer version of the Makefile (couple of version ahead)… Any idea or clue on how to reinstall this port to this specific version. Thx. P.S. I know there is a solution that consist to sync the port tree to the specific date (of version xxx of slony) and then compile, but this is quite heavy manipulation… If I could avoid that, It'd be great; Gregober --- PGP ID -- 0x1BA3C2FD bsd @at@ todoo.biz P Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: iphone, freebsd, vpn
A good idea would be to use pfsense It is an excellent firewall based on FreeBSD, freely available here http://www.pfsense.org/ Then you can choose whatever you want as a VPN solution… You would have an optimized kernel (for firewalling) a simple interface to do all related install. A dedicated community with lots of network guru… I would tend to use IPSec rather that L2TP or PPTP because It is more secure. A good solution would also be OpenVPN (but surely not for the Iphone). You would also find some pointers to configuration guide. Good luck.

ESS (extended service set) configuration for FBSD
Hello, I wanted to know what is the best way to build an ESS (extended service set aka group of Access Points) using FreeBSD. Knowing that we are looking at the classic features of such network: 1. Couple of AP's configured with the same SSID 2. Authentication 3. Security 4. Roaming between AP's 5. Communication between stations in the same ESS The main problem to solve seems to be related to IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) aka 802.11f It is not very clear to me in which stage we are with this protocol and It's implementation… What would you advice ? How would you proceed ?

Resetting bootloader on a CF
Hi, I am trying to reset the bootloader of a pfSense nanoBSD CF card. I need the boot loader to be reset because The embedded image set the bootloader to use a serial console. That isn't necessary with the box I am trying to use (the BIOS does console redirection to the serial port for you) and causes the boot to hang. Part of the solution seems to be : 1. Mount the CF on a FBSD 2. Initialize the bootloader with : # fdisk -B /dev/disk 3. This is where I need you help… How can I re-install a boot loader ? Should I use the command : # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device Any other suggestion, guidance will be welcome. Thanks for your support. P.S.
