Bind Software
Title: FTP Installation with INTEL DC21143 card When I do a whois kooper.ca I see that I have 2 name servers pointingto my apache server. I want my box to be a DNS also(I think). From my understanding I use DNSprovided by my ISP to convertNames to IP's. I ampretty sure I don't want to provide this service.But I do want to talk to those DNS locations saying I'm here. So I looked up some information. I used, nslookup to see if bind was working. I get my providers DNS.Here ismy first question.Is Bindinstalled by default?I looked up the ports and I have bind8 bind9.Will thebind package advertise to the "main people" that I'm here? This is one ofthe purpose's of this package?
Mail Package Install
K after reading some e-mails. And before I do anything, athough I really want to. hehe. I better ask for advice. I am going to use Postfix for my e-mail server. And then I want to find a webmail package to add on, right? Is there a package in ports that will do both. Can't use squirrel because I have Apach. 2.0 installed.

Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS. when I execute the ./config command. I'm getting this error. Well I own my Domain, kooper.ca. And it exist's. But I am not using Bind yet.

Re: About FreeBSD Operating System
I had the same problem, I started with Red Hat, then went to another version then FreeBSD. I found it the most resourceful and easiest to install. I have installed different scenarios when installing FreeBSD, both on primary and secondary and both easy to do. If you downloaded the ISO image make sure you burn it to a CD so you can see the FILE STRUCTURE. I made this mistake and cost me dearly. If you can boot from your CD, check BIOS to do this, you are in paradise. Stick the bootable CD into the CD rom and reboot.If notdownload the bootable diskets, 2 of them.Just follow the instructions. It took me 2 full days to get the process right - I made the mistake of not reading the documentation. Here's the good new's. Once you know what you are doing it only takes 20 minutes. And it's super easy. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html If your second harddrive is all ready formatted, it's probably in dos. You don't want this. You are going to have to use the label editor(look it up in the hand book), similar to fdisk to partition it correctly. If you have a partition you want to use all ready, use the label editor to delete that partition and reparation again using the FreeBSD label editor to create the Slice, again read the hand book for newbies, it tells you how to do it step by step. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html - Original Message - From: Wanda To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 8:47 PM Subject: About FreeBSD Operating System To whom it may concern, I am writing to ask for help about installing the FreeBSD in my computer.

If this rule is really in effect, the rest of the rules are not doing anything. ipfw add allow ip from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 vua lo0 I'm assuming vua is a typo - should be via. ipfw add allow udp from any to any 53 ipfw add check-state You're not letting DNS replies to come back. You are allowing the queries to go *out*, but when the remote server's reply packets hit the firewall they have port 53 on the *source* address, not on the destination. So they don't match that rule anymore and are discarded. What you probably want instead is: ipfw add allow udp from any to any 53 keep-state Another point: you're not using the divert rule for natd, and I see you have NAT enabled in your rc.conf. This is likely to be a problem later (well, you'll just not have NAT). A very good resource for this is /etc/rc.firewall. Just try to follow what the CLIENT, SIMPLE and OPEN targets do, or even let them run, then output the generated ruleset and use it as the skeleton of your own ruleset. Another useful debugging tool is ipfw show - typed repeatedly to watch which counters increased and so to know which rules were hit. Once you get into stateful filtering, you'll want ipfw -d show. Having said that, good ol' tcpdump is always handy to have around. Just fire up tcpdump -ni XXX with XXX for your external interface and see what's going out and what's coming in. Once you start firewalling for a network, a tcpdump -ni III with III being the internal interface becomes useful as well, either in itself or in addition to the external-watching tcpdump. -- Dan Pelleg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Thanks guys
There are so many different types of UNIX. If freeBSD is so great why won't natural selection begin and let some of these Unix flavors die? Really, wouldn't it be a better world if we had just a couple open source OS? I've been doing some background reading and correct me if I'm wrong. But I came across of at least 30 active different open source and commercial Unix flavors (and I'm sure that's a drop in the bucket)? And my last comment is about the commercial Unix flavors. If they cost so much - are they more bug free, better support, more people working on it. $12, 000 for a licence is alot of money. Well, I just like to say that I think FreeBSD is great.
