default Sendmail plus Cyrus-SASL
Hello all! I'm trying to setup a sort of relay or gateway using Sendmail. Here's there deal: Our hosted email provider let's us send them email via SMTP but that only works within the company's domain. If we want to send out of the domain we need to authenticate against their SMTP server. We have these nifty Canon copiers that can scan and email the document in PDF form. Unfortunately, I can't put a username and password for SMTP authentication. Thefore, I'm thinking I can setup Sendmail to accept email from that Canon copier and then relaty it acting as a client to our hosted email provider's SMTP server. It seems like I need AUTH to do this which requires Cyrus-SASL. Okay, so I installed Cyrus-SASL from pkgsrc. Now I'm trying to rebuild sendmail to be able to use SASL but I'm getting the following error: dfly# /etc/rc.d/sendmail forcestart Starting sendmail. /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.2: Shared object libsasl2.so.2 not found, required by sendmail /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.2: Shared object libsasl2.so.2 not found, required by sendmail Okay, when I built sendmail I added the following lines to my /etc/defaults/make.conf file: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include/sasl -DSASL SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2 Then I used the following websites as a guide to getting this to work: http://wiki.dragonflybsd.org/index.cgi/smtp-auth.html http://home.leo.org/~barner/freebsd/articles/mailsetup/article.html So far I'm stuck with that libsasl2.so.2 not found, required by sendmail error.

Cheers, Petr I don't know much about PPPoA, but in the past I have used FreeBSD with userland ppp with PPPoE support to do exactly what you're doing. This was a few years ago when I had DSL and it required PPPoE. Like I said, that was on FreeBSD but I'm pretty sure that DragonFlyBSD has the same functionality (since it was born from FreeBSD) with it's userland ppp. Take a deeper look at the userland ppp. I had setup the ppp program to automatically dial (not modem dial but PPPoE dial) when Internet traffic tried to go through. Anyway, bottom line is: Look at userland ppp and ppp.conf. Joey

Re: make -jn not necessarily helpful
Justin C. Sherrill wrote: Out of curiousity, I thought I'd try running make buildworld with the -j option in a few different configurations to see what difference it made. I know it's supposed to speed up the process by a certain amount because of the parallel processing, but there's no direct quantifier. I put together a shell script that had this several times over make clean echo `date` /home/justin/benchmark.txt echo 'make -j2 buildworld' /home/justin/benchmark.txt make -j2 buildworld echo `date` /home/justin/benchmark.txt echo/home/justin/benchmark.txt I did this with no -j, -j1, -j2, and -j3 Looking at the result: 1 hour 15 minutes 40-something seconds, every time, no matter the -j setting. This is on a 1.6G Celeron, with a PATA drive and ~350M ram. Would I see a difference if the CPU was faster and the drive was slower? If someone had some free CPU cycles to waste and could time a buildworld as above, I'd be interested in the results. I'd like to see under what conditions the -j flag becomes useful or not useful, or if perhaps I'm just missing something. I know that you're just testing to see if -jN is any faster than without, but when building world on FreeBSD I have noticed that moving /usr/obj to a separate disk did seem to make things a bit faster. The last time I tried this was on a PII 233 with 2 SCSI controllers (each had on 4GB SCSI drive). You're bottleneck might be the drive. That's theory is based on information in FreeBSD FAQ's and their Handbook. Now that I think about it, I have moved those SCSI controllers to this Dfly box since I laid the PII 233 to rest. Here's the dmesg output on those SCSI controller (not that it's related, but just FYI): sym0: 875 port 0x7c00-0x7cff mem 0xec122000-0xec122fff,0xec121000-0xec1210ff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0 sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking sym1: 875 port 0x8000-0x80ff mem 0xec125000-0xec125fff,0xec124000-0xec1240ff irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0 sym1: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking * NOTE: That's very odd that not much information is being displayed. I believe under FreeBSD it at least tells me it's a Sym BIOS chipset and all that. Anyway, I thought maybe if you were curious enough you can try to see if things speed up by moving /usr/obj to a different disk (SCSI or not). Unfortunately, I don't have the hard results of my tests (since it was years ago) but maybe you can give it a whirl since you're being curious about buildworld performance. Joey

Donations
I have two computers that I'm willing to donate to the cause. They're PIII systems about 1GHz each on AOpen AX34 and AOpen AX34 II motherboards. They each have fxp cards in them as well. They're okay machines. They're not the fastest machines out there, but maybe someone can make use of them. Not only that, but it will save my ears from the yelling my wife does because I have them sitting in the living room. I guess she's tired of me bring home junk computers as she calls them. I live in the Los Angeles area. If you're willing to pay for shipping, or if you're in the neighborhood then I can either have it shipped out to you or you can come pick them up. If you really want more info on these machines, I can probably get DragonFlyBSD installed on each of them and output a dmesg for you. Honestly, I would like for these to go out to developers, but if you're a user that is low on cash (like me) and you need a computer then I guess I can help out as well.

Re: recommend kvm switch
I have used the following switch with both DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD, and WindowsXP (on the same switch) at work without any problems. http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=productItem=GCS84B I have an older IOGear KVM switch at home that I have used with FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and WindowsXP (on the same switch) also without any problems. The nice thing about IOGear KVM's is that they come with cables and are at a decent price. The one I have at home cost me about 150 bucks but that was about 2-3 years ago. They cost much less these days, though. Seems like alot of people here have had good luck with Belkin. Personally, I will never buy a belkin product again. I have had an 8 port KVM and a 4 port KVM crap out on me. I've had problems with other Belkin products as well.

I had problems with this when I first used IP aliasing on FreeBSD long time ago because I had the wrong netmask set. (/24 instead of /32). It's not that easy. This has nothing to do with the interface, but is a restriction from the routing stack. Once that restriction goes away, there's no reason why aliases wouldn't allow it too. I second your thoughts about delete. You don't delete it, you remove it. You delete the route. I have another suggestion for ifconfig aswell. Show netmaskes in human readable format (decimal) instead of HEX. I mean, who really thinks about netmasks in HEX formats? Me. Actually, decimal netmasks are *not* human readable, because it is much harder to determine the *binary* affect they have. Joerg My opinion is, if you want to add another syntax, fine, but leave the old syntax also, because even though it may not seem intuitive, its familiar. The same reasoning goes for not changing grep to search. Linux changed a lot of the ifconfig syntax and its confusing to new users who are familiar with something else, and it doesn't improve the experience. Better to have one arguably wrong syntax that 4 different ones that are marginally more correct. DT Oh yeah, I definately wouldn't want to remove any of the old syntax because of the fact that doing so would most likely break scripts and what not. Also, people are used to using them. Although, it wouldn't hurt to make *remove* the same as *delete* (make it a synonym) then maybe have a note in the man page saying that alias/-alias and delete are deprecated until people get used to using add/remove. Then again, this actually isn't really a big deal since add/delete is okay. I don't mind too much if that was left alone. I only mentioned it because I thought it would make the utility more intuitive. On the other hand, the 255.255.255.255 thing just doesn't seem right. I installed OpenBSD 3.8 Beta yesterday just out of curiosity. I was able to add two addresses on the same subnet with the following commands: ifconfig pcn0 inet 192.168.0.172 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias ifconfig pcn0 inet 192.168.0.19 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias NOTE: OpenBSD doesn't sseem to like *add* instead of *alias*. Also, it seems that using *alias* doesn't work before the address family like it does in FreeBSD/DragonFlyBSD's ifconfig. Here's some sample ouput of when I look at that interface afterwards: # ifconfig pcn0 pcn0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0c:29:54:cf:00 groups: egress media: Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fe54:cf00%pcn0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.0.19 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet 192.168.0.172 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 NOTE: Seems like I don't need to type -a to show interface info anymore. When did that happen? I actually haven't used OpenBSD since 3.5 and this is 3.8 Beta. Someone mentioned displaying the netmask in decimal form. I thought that would be a good idea. It would seem easier to read that way. I tend to think of numbers in decimal and not in hexadecimal, but that's just me. Although, that doesn't concern me as much as the netmask thing. Then again, if you have a funky netmask then maybe reading it in hexadecimal would be kinda tedious for those of us that don't naturally read hexadecimal. From reading the other posts in this thread, it seems that we need to wait for some commits to occur before this can be looked into since it deals with routing code. I didn't realise that this had anything to do with routing. Then again, I'm not a programmer. I'm just here to give a *user's* perspective of things. Anyway, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one that thought the whole 255.255.255.2555 alias thing was funky. Cheers, Joseph Garcia
ifconfig(8) syntax intuitiveness
Greetings. I just wanted to bounce some ideas off of you guys. Its petty stuff, but its usability feedback nonetheless. First let me start off by quoting the ifcconfig(8) man page: The ifconfig utility is used to assign an address to a network interface and/or configure network interface parameters. The ifconfig utility must be used at boot time to define the network address of each interface present on a machine; it may also be used at a later time to redefine an interface's address or other operating parameters. I was using ifconfig when it occurred to me how non-intuitive it is having to use 255.255.255.255 as the netmask when adding an address that is on the same subnet as an address already on the interface. For example, if you already have 192.168.0.1/24 on fxp0, then you should be able to add the following address with this command: ifconfig fxp0 add 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 instead of: ifconfig fxp0 add 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 The latter just doesn't seem very intuitive, because 255.255.255.255 is generally used as a netmask in point-to-point connections, where the other endpoint must be configured as well. This is actually a gripe I had with ifconfig(8) for many years but just dealt with it. I hear this is a FreeBSD-ism which is not present in NetBSD. I can't confirm that since I don't use NetBSD. Perhaps someone, far more talented than I, can fix this to work in a more intuitive way. I also understand that alias is the same thing as add and alias is the same thing as delete. Personally, I never really did like the alias/-alias commands because they didnt seem like the right verb to be using for the type of action that I was doing. I thought, Im not aliasing an address to the interface. Im adding it to the interface. Actually, this is fine the way it is because people can use what they like. Although, I do like the verb remove better than delete. Again, that's because I felt that I was removing an address from an interface and not deleting an address. Again, these are just ideas to make ifconfig(8) more intuitive and a bit more user friendly. Any opinions on these issues? I know they're small isssues, but I feel that any steps to making Unix utilities more intuitive and user friendly without compromising security and features is a step in the right direction.
