Adding a new network card to FreeBSD 5.1

Re: how to dual boot
Jerry McAllister wrote: I'm trying to get a dual boot system set up with FBSD 5.3 and Win XP sp1. First I installed FBSD using 15GB of the HD, then installed XP on the remaining 5GB. However now it boots up XP automatically. I can get back to the FBSD installer by booting from the 5.3 CD but what do I do to provide a choice of which to boot right on the HD? Well, you could try grub, but if you want a fact way of doing, it will cost. OS Selector from Acronis, or Boot Manager from PartitionMagic. OS Selector What you have to do is create a partition, about 100mb or 50mb and it must be FAT16/32, so if your windows partitions is fats, then you don't have to create the partition, but way it doesn't have to be first partition, just visible to OS Selector. Once you install it will read what OS'es you have install. It not a bad program because I have remove freebsd, for dragonfly and PC-BSD, and didn't have to anything just select the partition it was install on. Boot Manager is I remember install on the master boot record and has to be install from the windows partions. I don't like it because I have kill a computer or two with it. Grub has come a long way and there mail list and docs. But if you are newbie you might want to go the route of OS Selector. Just remember that when you install freebsd you not to select a boot manager. Now before I get flame, I have use the freebsd boot manager BUT only with freebsd.

At some point in the future I'm assuming there will be a 5.X release as part of the STABLE train. Me personally, I've always stuck with stable and appreciate it for that. The only time I've had a stability problem with the stable code is when using the NVIDIA driver, which naturally can't be attributed to the BSD code itself.

Samba, Cups and Printing: Windows client gives "Access denied"
Hi, I've got an HP printer on USB port on Freebsd 4-Stable box. Printer is on /dev/ulpt0. Installed cups and printing from BSD is fine. Had samba installed and working great for filesharing. Now introduced an all printers share to share this printer. Printer is browseable from windows machine. When I install this printer on a Win2K machine (and use local drivers) I get "Access Denied, Unable to Connect." Unlike some other people's experience I cannot print to the printer despite this message. I've found lots of references to others having this problem on BSD and LINUX on the web but no resolutions. Of course, BSD questions is where all the really clever people hang out so someone here is bound to know ;-) I couldn't find any resolution in the mailing list archive so does anyone know of an answer or is this a bug in operation between Winblows and Samba? Below is the global and printers sections of my smb.conf. This was generated by webmin but I do understand and have written smb.conf manually in past. Thanks, Phil [global] log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 interfaces = 192.168.100.254/255.255.255.0 dns proxy = no printing = cups encrypt passwords = yes path = /var/spool/samba server string = FRANKS SERVER socket address = 192.168.100.254 allow hosts = 192.168.100. 127. workgroup = FRANKS socket options = TCP_NODELAY netbios name = PPSERVER keepalive = 300 load printers = yes security = user os level = 20 [printers] printable = yes guest only = yes printer = PPPR public = yes ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Ok... so reading the ruleset the traffic will behave (referring to your rc.firewall): Outgoing FTP session is passed first by rule 04109 (with a keep-state) and then by 61001 (without a keep-state). So, will the returning traffic get passed by the check-state on the way back in?... I'm not sure, possibly. Also, funny that it works for 5.1 and not 5.2.1, which implies bugs. The general consensus from my & Steve's response is we don't understand the ruleset. Using skipto just to divert to natd and pass outgoing traffic does seem overly complicated and I've not seen anyone else use that approach. Maybe I am missing some advantage that it gives you. I figure you have two approaches to solve this: 1) If you want to debug the current ruleset add logging to the deny rules and check where the traffic is being dropped. If it is the ruleset at fault then the traffic MUST be being dropped by it on one of the rules. Remember logging is your friend. Or 2) There may be some benefit to re-writing the ruleset in a format you personally understand rather than using a template. Your general approach to firewall ruleset should be: a) First section contains any anti-spoofing and then rules to divert traffic going via the outside interface to natd and to check-state b) Second section to allow/deny traffic directly to the firewall. c) Then a section to allow the incoming services to your site. You should then end this section with something like "deny all traffic coming in via my external interface" as unless you specifically want the traffic you should drop it d) Then a section to permit the required traffic out from your site. You should end this section with something like "deny & log all traffic" as if you haven't specified it to pass, it shouldn't. Then you can refine this approach by adding deny rules without logging to only log what's required and pick up on traffic that you should be passing but you are not. I'm afraid it's very difficult to be specific on writing firewall policy as it will be unique to your needs but I hope that general approach will help. Tools like /usr/ports/security/fwbuilder (home www.fwbuilder.org) can help in generating policy but the install features for IPFW are not quite working. I have posted a script to help with this previously.

You can of course specify your very own ruleset and point rc.conf at a different file than rc.firewall. Two things which may help. 1) There is a keyword "me" that you can use in IPFW rules that prevents you needing to specify the server's actual IP's. 2) fwbuilder.org is a very handy tool for generating firewall config. if the "me" keyword is too generic, you may find it easier have a gui that can hold different objects for each IP address useful rather than write repetitive firewall script lines. Also, if you're new to firewall policy sometimes a gui can help. If you want advice on generating a firewall policy, well... there are some high level design rules you can follow that helps. I've posted on this topic a number of times to the list so just search the archives. Lastly, and not meant in any rude way, if you haven't > man ipfw ... I personally found it very useful.

If you start logging too much rubbish insert specific deny rules that do NOT log just above the deny all to filter out things you don't want to see. To be honest, it's good practice to keep this approach permantently. Secondly, a handy tool is at fwbuilder.org . This provides a GUI interface for generating your policy. It's not perfect and theres the whole thing of sacrificing all the command line options for a GUI interface but I've found it more than useful on my own gateway device. Unfortunately, the NAT part is not working so you need to script how the rules are installed once compiled to ensure you get a NAT rule in place. I have posted a script to do this in previous emails but feel free to drop me a reply in future if you need to.

There are some good tutorials out there. If you really don't know where to start this will be valuable. As you get more familiar you may want to look at fwbuilder.org as this provides a graphical interface for policy generation but I do suggest you are familiar with the command line first so you understand what fwbuilder.org is doing. fwbuilder.org does have some tools to help generate basic policies. Some generic statements on how to develop a network policy if you have absolutely no idea. This is painful but if you don't know where to start and ignore the tutorials I'm not sure what else you can do: 1) Operate from a default deny scenario unless you have a good reason not to. If you don't want to break stuff then have a permit all. Set this rule to log. e.g ipfw add 65000 deny log ip from any to any or ipfw add 65000 permit log ip from any to any 2) View the log at /var/log/security As you have no other rules in your policy the log will quickly get swamped by the traffic through your firewall. 3) Work out from the log what traffic/packets are required, what traffic is not and add relevant rules. e.g. ipfw add 100 permit tcp from to any setup keep-state out via ipfw add 110 permit udp from to any keep-state out via ...is an obvious example if you want your internal network to be able to initiate any connection. 4) Clear the logs: ipfw resetlog 5) repeat step 2 & 3 until you're only denying and logging the things you want. 6) Check your logs frequently for unexpected events. 7) Review your policy on a regular basis to collate rules and remove unwanted ones.

Like any newbie I heartily recommend reading through the "handbook" under the documentation section of www.freebsd.org . I believe this has a good section on installing X and selecting a window manager. Also read the sections on updating source and buildworld, this will keep your system up to date. There's some good FreeBSD tutorials at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 worth working through. Also, as well as ports being your friend I've found the utility "portupgrade" under /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade highly useful for managing my installed packages.

My personal experience. 4 years ago I had never installed a UNIX like OS, however I am an engineer so I read the manual first. I tried to find a coherent set of documentation in regards to Linux but because it is a huge munge of lots of different projects (Kernel, GNU, packages the distro has decided to add, everything else you actually need manually built by you) there is nothing coherent. I found a lot of arguments about licencing, source over binary, what should be in a distro and what shouldn't. Those arguments are still going on today. A friend pointed me a www.freebsd.org and loe-and-behold instructions on how to install and use the OS. Since then, I have never had to stray far from that site or this email list. - I have never experienced a failed system upgrade other than my own stupidity. - I have never experienced a system hang other than using alpha/beta software manually installed. - I have never been unable to install a port unless it was broken. - If that were'nt reason enough, I also can upgrade the whole thing once a month with NO pain. I guess this is a reflection of the managed, controlled environment under which system and ports are developed for FreeBSD. I guess what I'm saying is... it's dependable environment and I'm not just talking about the software.

RE: Firewall rules
Hi, I've found fwbuilder (/usr/ports/fwbuilder) to be very useful. Nice GUI for writing your firewall policy. Some simple "Druids" :-/ for generating generic rulesets. Formerly, I've always configured the firewall from command line but this certainly helps in managing your policy. I admit, I'm an IPFW person myself but fwbuilder theoretically supports ipfilter on FreeBSD as well (I haven't used it). One quirk, when using fwbuilder with IPFW, the divert to natd isn't supported so I'm installing the rules with a little script that inserts the natd rule appropriately. --- #!/bin/sh .fw# Installs the rules generated by fwbuilder ipfw delete 1 # delete the check-state rule at 1 ipfw add 1 divert natd ip from any to any via # add new divert rule at 1 ipfw add 2 check-state# re-add the check-state 2 --- Phil. > -Original Message- > From: Petre Bandac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 23 October 2003 09:13 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mihail; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Firewall rules > > > www.kgb.ro/Ipfw-HOWTO > > HTH, > > petre > > On Wednesday 22 October 2003 18:05 Anno Domini, fbsd_user > wrote using one of > his keyboards: > > The FBSD handbook gives the idea that IPFW is the only firewall. > > FBSD also comes with ipfilter which is much easier to use and > > sertup.

RE: IPFW strange events
Hi Chris, The net address and subnet mask combination that is 96.0.0.0/3 covers the range 96.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255. You are therefore blocking all traffic to the localhost address (127.0.0.0) Now, I'm a networking bloke not an MIS person but I would assume this is BAD as services/apps on your machine would want to use this address. What you need to do is have a rule ahead of this specifying: allow all from any to any via lo0 If you need a tool to help visualising firewall policy I would recommend /usr/ports/security/fwbuilder. It needs a bit of a hack to make NAT work which I've posted previously to this list.

KDM always starts failsafe

It doesn't matter what session type I select in KDM, I always get failsafe so no KDE for me. If I start KDE using startx and a .xinitrc with "exec startkde" everything is fine and KDE starts.

The "setup" keyword allows any packets with SYN but no ACK. The "established" keyword will allow any packets with RST and ACK bits set. So, in theory the sessions you want should be able to pass, couldn't tell you why they're not. However, I don't believe this is as secure as using dynamic rules as you will accept any packet with those bits set, not packets on the ports you have allowed to "setup". So, a different approach you could remove the line: 00500 allow tcp from any to any established And change 800 from: 00800 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 25,110,995,143,993 setup TO: 00800 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 25,110,995,143,993 setup keep-state This would create a dynamic rule allowing TCP on the right port between the source address & your server. To allow further traffic on that dynamic rules you need a line something like 00050 check-state This is an approach I have used for sometime and it works fine. I hope its of use.

I'm not sure how long the lag is... I guess different for different ports. I think you'll just have to accept a slight lag on when you can update certain ports. If this is not the real error I'm sure someone will correct me.

Though you'll find lots of crossover in terms of applications (e.g. XOrg, XFree86, Gnome, KDE). You'll find lots of opinion on whether FreeBSD is better than Linux and vice versa. My suggestion is you read up about each Linux distro & FreeBSD and decide for you personally which is best. FreeBSD can run X. I use it as a desktop. The things that make me come back to FreeBSD each time I try a different linux distro is: 1) The make buildworld, installworld, buildkernel, installkernel tools that make upgrading/updating your system a breeze. 2) The ports system that makes installing applications and dependencies a thoughtless stress-free task. 3) The portupgrade sysutil that makes managing the upgrade of your applications equally stress free.

Portinstall problem (config.guess not found)
Hi, I'm getting the following error when trying to build any port. /usr/ports//work/config.guess: No such file or directory. I've googled & searched the mailing list archives which gave 2 suggestions. Autoconf or libtool have got fubar'd and I should reinstall and/or to cvsup & update the ports index. I tried both & neither succeeded. Boo :-( Now if a port tries to re-install libtool, it also bums out with the above error. I'm using Freebsd-5.3-beta4. Does anyone have further suggestions on what the error could be and how it can be resolved?

make installkernel help required.
Hi, Having problems installing a new kernel. Kernel builds fine, the only difference over previous kernel is the commenting of the following items: #optionsIPFIREWALL #optionsIPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #optionsIPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=1000 #optionsIPDIVERT as I have switched to using PF. (previous kernel had both PF and IPFIREWALL enabled) Debug is below. Anyone help on why this is borking now? I've tried this twice. After the first error I cleared our /usr/obj to make sure I was building into a clean directory but get the same result.

Yup... no autoconf, automake or libtool present. Problem still persits. Doesn't matter which port I try I get the same error. e.g. fwbuilder, gimp, gmake, portupgrade. Any help much appreciated.

I just rebuilt the machine as the problem was doing my head-in. Freebsd 5.3-beta5. Basically, X-Developer distro with KDE installed as desktop. The first port I try to to install is generally CVSUP. I get the "config.guess not found" error straight away... as below. I am not sure how to proceed. I'm tempted to fall back to 4-Stable which was working fine. Switching to FreeBSD-5 has been a nightmare. I just wanted to try PF & Fwbuilder2 as a firewall. There doesn't seem to be a lot of posts on the list with this problem so I'm assuming its a problem specific to me... but weird. Any help much appreciated.

Bizarro...

I ran the make installkernel outside of X (i.e. in a console) and it works fine. Try to run it in aterm or xterm and you get the "can't shift that many" error.

RE: Portinstall problem (config.guess not found) ANSWER (sort of)
Hi, Had another search of the archives and found someone having a similar problem making gtk12. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-September/0581 90.html Saw an answer that the issue was running the make in X. So, I switched to a console and tried to install the port... bingo... no problem. Switch back to X and try in aterm or xterm, still same "config.guess not found" error. Bizarre bug.. but at least there's a workaround for now. Don't do any "make" functions in X. Phil.

Didn't use Konsole but I am using KDE. It appears to be a problem in aterm & xterm, but strangely not Eterm.

I believe you're correct about it being a login shell issue. Using xterm
and using "su -" instead of "su" fixes the issue.
Not sure what's different in the environment that makes a full login
shell work though.
Anyway, many thanks to all who helped sort this out.

You missed a step between cvsup and portupgrade. less /usr/ports/UPGRADING ... and read, to check out what will happen when certain ports are updated. Looks much the same as I how I do it. I dont do a portversion. You might want to create a portupgrade log with the -l switch on portupgrade. Then, after its complete check for failed entries i.e. those marked with "!" or "*" so you can manually check out the problem Also, you may want to add a "portsclean" at the end to remove old distfiles etc. "man portsclean" will give all the relevant options.

I found a post suggesting it was an environment issue in a similar vein to Emanuel's link and found the workaround. It does appear that you need to either start you root xterm/aterm with "-ls"... or you need to "su -" instead of just "su" to be able to "make" properly. Eterm works because it starts as a login shell by default. xterm & aterm do not. This bug also affected my ability to do a make installkernel. I'm not a coder so I have no idea what in the environment causes a login shell to work & a non-login shell not work.

Not sure what exact version of FreeBSD 5.x you're using. According to /usr/src/UPDATING Since 08-Mar-2004 pf has been part of the base system and doesn't require the pf port to be installed. So, a way forward could be to ensure you've updated to latest 5.x version (cvs tag RELENG_5). Then I suggest you read /usr/src/UPDATING as it also contains some info on the pf groups & users required. I have the following devices in my kernel: device PFIL_HOOKS device pf device pflog I have the following in /etc/rc.conf: pf_enable="YES" pflog_enable="YES" pf_rules="" You will also need the authpf group and the _pflogd user & group. You can get the details by downloading the latest source and checking the passwd & group files under /usr/src/etc. in /etc/passwd: _pflogd:*:64:64:pflogd privesp user:/var/empty:/usr/sbin/nologin in /etc/group: authpf:*:63: _pflogd:*:64: I will leave it to you on how you generate a ruleset.

RE: pf for FreeBSD
Hi, I'm not sure of the dates of when 5.2.1 was released to tell you for sure whether pf is available in the kernel or not. I only started using 5.x when 5.3-Beta was released and pf has always been available in kernel for me. Never used the port. To check if pf is installed/available you could try the command line via which pf is configured i.e. # pfctl -sa (i.e. show all currently configured options for pf). To check if its available in the base system you could try configuring a kernel with the devices in my previous email and see if they're accepted.

RE: pf for FreeBSD
IMHO its not very hard in FreeBSD 5.3 either now its in the base. The only additional step to what you describe below is adding the kernel options & building/installing the kernel to include them, which is only 2 commands. However, some of the log analysis ports I've tried (fwanalog... & another the name of which slips my mind, damn) do not work with the FreeBSD implementation of tcpdump :-( I suppose, with OpenBSD's complete focus on security if I was building a dedicated firewall I would very probably select OpenBSD. Depends what other things Cristi is using FreeBSD for.

FreeBSD 5.0 & tunnelling X through SSH
Hi, Can anyone suggest a reason why I might see the following problem. Two remote FreeBSD machines. Box-1 is running 4.X-Stable and Box-2 is running 5.0-RELEASE. The same sshd_config on both. I'm ssh'ing to them from box-3 which is another 4.x-stable machine. If I ssh from box-3 to box-1 (4.X-Stable) I can tunnel X through ssh and start X based APPS that appear on box-3's local display. Great. If I ssh from box-3 to box-2 (5.0-Release) I cannot start X based APPS. This appears to be because the DISPLAY variable does not get set when I log in. Any help is much appreciated.

It may not be the actual dual-homed boxes issue. For this to work completely, the devices on the two networks you mention must also have the correct routing. So, devices on 192.168.1.0/24 must have a route for 212.110.94.64/27 via 192.168.1.1... most probably a default route as I assume the devices on 192.168.1.0/24 are reaching the net via this box. In addition, any device on 212.110.94.64/27 that is supposed to reach 192.168.1.0/24 devices must route 192.186.1.0/24 via 212.110.94.84. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Xfree86 help required since upgrade.
Hi, I recently upgraded Xfree4 via portupgrade (portupgrade -a) and I now have a problem. It appears X will only work in 8-bit mode. Before, my XF86Config specified the default bit depth as 24 and X was fine. Now X fails to start at anything over 8-bit... I mean, it starts... it just hangs after a lot of disk activity. Briefly, I'm running FreeBSD 4.X-Stable on a PC with an nvidia card and the nvidia driver from /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver and the latest version of Xfree4 from ports. I appreciate the nvidia driver is beta and could be the root cause of this problem but I've been using that driver for some time with no problems so far. I'm definitely no X-pert. I can work my way through an XF86Config file and X error log but that's about it. Nothing I can immediately identify in /var/log/Xfree86.0.log to cause the problem (that's not to say there isn't something in there). My question is: a) Is there anyone out there willing to help me resolve this? b) What information (hardware, config files) do you need to help me out? Let me know, by reply individually if you don't want to spam the list and I'll send everything relevant in one go.

What the simplest way to do outgoing smtp?
Hi, This is a pretty basic question so I don't mind if the answer is an RTFM style link. ;-) I recently obtained some 3rd party POP3 mailboxes unrelated to my current ISP for email to a new domain... unfortunately my ISP's smtp server doesn't let me send any email addressed as anything other than it's own users, fair enough. I use FreeBSD as a network gateway and IPFW device but I'm a bit of an SMTP novice really. How and what can I configure to act as a sending SMTP server simply on FreeBSD? I don't need to receive email, the 3rd party will do that and host the POP3 collection, but I need to be able to send email locally via something other than my ISP's smtp server. The reason I want to do it this way is that the IP address of my FreeBSD box is DHCP and subject to change, so it isn't suitable as the primary MX record for the new domain.

My wife (a midwife) is totally non technical. She wants a computer to do office type stuff, send email to her family and do home-shopping (so POP3 email, docs for letters and opening word docs from others, web browsing). A combination of FreeBSD, KDE, KMAIL as I couldn't get evolution to install and OpenOffice + switch on the Redmond behaviour and style in KDE and she came out with the quote: "So... this was all free... but it's great... how come the software for our other computer (windows) costs hundreds of pounds?... how can they get away with that" Kind of says it all. OK, for an office you'd need an administrator to update the source/ports... but every office needs an administrator. NIS is a decent enough replacement for a windows domain. NFS/Samba for network shares. IPFW as a replacement for your Firewall-1 even. I keep trying different Linux distros and they install great... then every time I get to installing packages I just come running back to FreeBSD. People keep bigging up Linux's better hardware support but I'm yet to find an office computer I couldn't install FreeBSD on if you don't want 3d gaming you're sorted. I really can't think of a decent reason to go with Linux... the added support services someone like Suse or RedHat provide you could be important to some corporations. Am I missing some obvious advantage about Linux and why it's so popular or is it all hype?

Firewalls are generally positioned at network gateways, where as servers are generally within the network. This means carrying out security at the firewall is much easier as it is the focal point for all network traffic. Firewalls generally have a much better logging ability, this is again helped by their positioning in the network. Logging will be important in the post-cracking examination of what went wrong. More importantly, you shouldn't be thinking "Should I use a firewall?" you should be thinking "what should my security model look like?" Firewalls are only a security tool to be used in addition to correct configuration of the server, security audits, IDS, penetration tests, account/password management and business practices/procedures. However any security procedure you put in place must be cost effective i.e. The cost of your security hardware/procedure/implementation must be less than the cost of total destruction of your data and it's replication in a disaster recovery procedure (1 times, 2 times or 3 times... your choice as to how often you think this will happen).

Yes, there seems to be a lot of discussion about how to control GTK fonts outside of gnome without a coherent answer. Any further help is much appreciated. Sorry for being such a newb about GTK sutff. Have been working with FreeBSD, KDE and related apps for sometime with no problems but thought I'd give windowmaker and other apps a go... expand my knowledge etc... but having trouble.

Re: Changing gtk application fonts outside of gnome (Answer)
Hi,
Caveat, I'm no GTK/Gnome expert so if someone wants to pick holes, feel
free...
Did some further digging around on the web and I've concluded that the way to
ensure your GTK apps appear as you want (font wise) outside of gnome is:
If you want anti-aliasing ensure the following environment variable is set:
GDK_USE_XFT=1
Thanks to Matthew for that.
To change the default font for GTK1.* apps then add the following lines to the
file ~/.gtkrc (or create it if it doesn't exist):
style "default" {
font = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15"
}
Note... using full font definition.
For GTK2 based apps then things have changed. Need to add the following line
to the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0, outside of any style definition if you want it to
be global. (I believe that within a style definition you use the font_name =
"" format):
gtk-font-name = "Helvetica 12"
Note the switch to using shorthand font names.
Hope that helps anyone else stuck as I was.
Cheers,
Phil.

If that's not it, my suggestion would be to temporarily switch on logging against those two pass rules for the internal host, any deny rules you have and if you don't have one already, a generic logging deny all as a final rule. These logs should tell you whether any traffic is being blocked and give an indication as to whether the nat is working properly. If your site is too busy to grab that much logging then as an alternative you could switch to a completely open ruleset (with NAT enabled) and this would allow you to tell whether it's the firewall rulebase or not.

First, I'm more of a router person than familiar with how FreeBSD calculates it's routing table so the following is all guesswork from "man route". The issue with static routes is that they rarely have any idea of the status of their destination but this can be fudged if you're using point-to-point interfaces e.g. DSL, leased line. In general terms what you'd be doing on a router is: 1) Have a default route directed out a point-to-point interface connected to the ISP (not the IP address) so that when the interface is down, the static route is removed from the live routing table. 2) Have a weighted default route via an alternative IP address. The weight implies this route is only used when the former default route is not available. I've read "man route" and I get the impression you can add a route via an interface rather than a destination with the switch "-interface" so your first step is to add a default route along the lines > route add default -interface ... this is a guess as the man page isn't explicit. Also, I don't know whether this route remains live or is removed as required during a failure on the point-to-point interface you'd configure this to. It definitely won't work if your primary access method is a broadcast interface e.g. ethernet. Further, I can't find any details on adding a weight to a static route to create the secondary route so I'm not sure this is going to be possible via an automatic routing table kind of thing. So.(getting to the point very slowly) The only other method I can think of would be a script to ping the far end addresses regularly in order. Depending on which one is up, you could inject a default route statement as required to the correct destination. I'd be interested in other suggestions as this doesn't sound entirely great as there are many other reasons than link failure why an address wouldn't be pingable.
