I have a gateway and the gateway forwards any requests for port 80 to the webserver. Unfortunately that doesn't work (as other posters may have already told you). I used to get around that problem by having 2 DNS servers running on separate machines, one for external queries, and another one for internal queries. Nowadays, I used BIND9's multiple views to handle external/internal queries with one DNS server. Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Beer.

Re: are virtual mail account users possible with freebsd?
Hi Daniel, First off thanks so much for your time...I appreciate it.

LinkSys-EtherFast 10/100 PC Card questions
Hi all, I've got a brand new LinkSys-EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V3) for my laptop.I'm running FreeBSD-4.7 RELEASE.The card is recognized correctly and configured with no trouble.

fdisk and HD's larger than 2GB
Hi, I'm having a problem with the version of fdisk supplied with FreeBSD 4.6.2 (and I'm seeing the same problem on 4.7 too). fdisk always defaults to 256/255/63 for the C/H/S values of my disk, however this is not the correct values. After searching through the FAQ's and handbook I found some info about fdisk getting these values from the BIOS and how to switch this off. So I checked the BIOS. It reports the correct disk geometry so I know it is not that. So I went back to fdisk and changed the geometry, which worked OK. I then tried to create a partion that used the whole disk. As soon as I did that fdisk reverted to the orginal (and incorrect) geometry and only created a partion of 2GB rather than 20GB. I'm sure there is an FAQ, or someother doc that details how to get round this problem. However if there is one I cannot find it. If anyone has any info on what I can do so that fdisk will create a partion that uses all of the disk could you please let me know as the currently documented way doesn't work for me. If I can't get this to work I'm going to have to use Linux as I know this works. :( Regards Dg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

How to truncate a file in the beginning
Are there any special features in FreeBSD that I can use to truncate a file in the beginning? Let's assume I have a 50GB file. Only the last 10GB are interesting for me and I have to free the first 40GB for some reason. Of course, I could seek to the appropriate position and copy the 10GB to a new file and unlink the old one. The problem is that I don't have a lot of time to do this so I am looking for something like ftruncate() but for the beginning... Any ideas?

Or at least that's the goal. Sendmail is VERY persnickity about permissions and ownerships for the aliases files- at least. I have edited sendmail.cf so it compiles from a second aliases file, aliases.tinylist, which is in /etc/mail, and it reads the file fine. Note the webscript runs by apache (as nobody) cannot write to the /mail dir; it bombs at this point. If I set the dir so other identities can write to it, sendmail get's VERY upset when I issue the newaliases command. so either it accepts the file, but I cannot write to it, or I cannot write to it, but it accepts the file. sigh... What's a fellow to do? Please advise. There is a good reason for sendmail being fussy. There are serious security concerns with the use of aliases. These are mainly when the alias expansion is either a file path or a command pipe. Your best bet is to have your web application write to a different file. Run a frequent cron job. The cron job should sanitize the data (remove anything with file paths or command pipes), copy to the main aliases file, then run new aliases. -NWR To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: How to truncate a file in the beginning
Thus spake Andre Albsmeier [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Are there any special features in FreeBSD that I can use to truncate a file in the beginning? Let's assume I have a 50GB file. Only the last 10GB are interesting for me and I have to free the first 40GB for some reason. Of course, I could seek to the appropriate position and copy the 10GB to a new file and unlink the old one. The problem is that I don't have a lot of time to do this so I am looking for something like ftruncate() but for the beginning... Nope, you have to copy the data. Technically something like this could be implemented by copying metadata only, but it would only work if the amount you want to snip is a multiple of the filesystem's block size. However, it's a lot of work for a rather uncommon case; even ftruncate() is used infrequently. Perhaps you could devise a scheme for striping your data across multiple 10GB files.

Re: no internal access to webpage
At 07:30 AM 12.13.2002 +, Stacey Roberts wrote: Hi Dave, The reason you have access to your webserver from external sites is somewhat the reason why you don't have internal access (by name) to your webserver. The gateway passes requests to port 80 it receives from its *external* interface to port 80 on your webserver. From an internal host, attempts to access the website hits your gateway, on its *internal* interface, and is passed to the Internet via the external interface. The translation of the returning request by the external interface back in doesn't work with the current set up of natd. Running a local nameserver that points to the local address of the website would probably work.., ONLY if its shielded from the Internet though. If not, you'd end up with your DNS pointing to a website that's bound to a RFC 1918 (private) address - not good. Hope this helps.

RE: are virtual mail account users possible with sendmail on freebsd
IMAP is a method of mail retrieval, Postfix is a MTA like sendmail (it sends outgoing mail and accepts incoming mail, although it doesn't actually allow people to retrieve it off the server) Think of IMAP in a similar way to POP3. Think of Postfix/Sendmail/Exim like the post office...they'll take your mail, and put mail in your box, but it's up to you to get it. http://my.lostinfo.com/files_other/cyrus_imap/ Was my original walkthrough. It's a bit dated now but it might give you a good overview of what we have in place and running now. http://my.lostinfo.com/files_other/courier-imap/ Was my earlier attempt using courier-imap, however I was unsuccessful in getting the information I needed as to how to get a black-box setup working. It's got a kind of overview of courier as well tho'. Here's a little flowchart for you... It's generic but you'll get the idea of how mail flows through the system: MAIL - Sendmail / Exim / Postfix Accepts the incoming mail via SMTP, sends it on to --- Cyrus / Courier-IMAP or perhaps it just puts it in the /var/mail files like sendmail does Outlook / Netscape Mail / Web-based client / Hundreds of *nix clients Allows you to check the mail, via POP3 or IMAP -- YOU John Straiton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Clickcom, Inc 704-365-9970x101 -Original Message- From: Keith Spencer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 6:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: are virtual mail account users possible with sendmail on freebsd Hi and thanks John, Yes I know how to setup mysql...Is imap or postfix (whatever does the job...imap I guess if I dont bother about smtp auth) easy to get to auth with mysql? what do I need where do I look perhaps a tute? Any reason postfix is a better option than imap? Appreciate input...thanks heaps Keith Sendmail isn't what gives someone POP3 access. Something like Qpopper does. However, most of the sendmail+(something) combinations you're going to find are going to require you to build full blown accounts for each user. While they do not have to have shell access, they will have a /home directory and an entry in your /etc/passwd. If you're trying to avoid that, you'll have to use a different POP3 server and I'd recommend a different MTA than sendmail. What you're looking to do (email accounts without user accounts) is sometimes called a black-box setup. We use a combination of Postfix to replace sendmail and Cyrus to do POP3/IMAP. You can also do this with Courier-IMAP. Both are in the /usr/ports/mail tree. Exim is another popular replacement for sendmail and works well with either Cyrus or Courier-IMAP. With a simple shell script and pw, you could add all those accounts to the machine if necessary, but if you use one of these other methods you'd probably wind up wanting to use a LDAP or Database back end to store all that information.

Anyway, boot to single user then fsck -p mount -u / This one you may have to do with a full mount command speciifying device and mount point (/) edit your fstab reboot.

Ghost and DriveImage have only sector by sector cloning for Unix system, but I need something better. Thanks for your help Petr Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] This question gets asked all most every month. You should check the Questions archives before posting your questions. From the archives The question of using the Norton Ghost program to make an single flat image file of an hard drives partition containing FBSD has been asked many times on this list. UP until now the answer has all ways been that the benefits of using Ghost on a MS/win partition can not be achieved when used on a FBSD slice because the ghost created image file contains all the unused space as well as the used space. Jacob S. Barrett had the idea of zeroing out the unused space before running ghost so ghost will compress all the zero filled space resulting in an image file size and elapse run time comparable to what you would achieve on a MS/win partition. This is a great work around. Before running the Ghost program from native booted ms/dos you have to run this command on FBSD before shutting FBSD down. dd if=/dev/zero of=filler bs=1m ; rm filler Below is the original thread -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dan Nelson Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 10:33 AM To: Jacob S.

The company I work for has an image on demand system for our lab machines. This system relies on ghost which only supports file by file imaging on certain file systems. I want to take disk images of certain FreeBSD installations. Ghost will only take sector by sector images of FreeBSD partitions. Since it is doing this it stores all the junk unused blocks as well. This makes for a very large image even with high compression. If I can zero out the unused blocks before taking the image with high compression the image size should be much smaller. So, is there utility to zero out those blocks? Does this make sense? Is there a better way to take images of FreeBSD machines? dd if=/dev/zero of=filler bs=1m ; rm filler I also have tried to use ghost to make image backups of FBSD, but the image is the same size as the FBSD slice. Have you tested the solution posted above to zero out the unused disk space in the FBSD slice so ghost will only image bkup real data? Did it work like you hoped? Yes I have tested it, and it works great. Be sure to turn compression on to high to get the best results. Here is what I saw after zeroing the unallocated blocks using the dd command. FreeBSD partition size: 11G Allocated space: 6G Ghost image size: 3.4G Before zeroing out the images on this box were between 8-9G. Needless to say our IT guy is much happier that my box isn't chewing up 9G per image on the system anymore.

RE: I have samba stability problems under FreeBSD 4.7
If the FreeBSD machine is set up as the primary domain controller, it needs to be the network browser. The windows machines by default, are set with the Browse Master setting to ON. They will compete for network browsing with the FreeBSD machine and will force an election (which the FreeBSD machine may be losing). In windows 98, you can go to networking in Control panel and click on Properties for File and Print sharing. In Win2k and XP go to Control Panel| Administrative Tools | Services.

Dell I8K Screen Blanking (fn+d)
I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 on my Dell Inspiron 8000. On the I8K, one of the function sequences, Fn+D, turns off your screen. The problem is, when I hit Fn+D, the screen will momentarily go blank, then within a second or so it will again come back. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get this blanking to work properly? Is there some kernel option I need to change? I'm using GENERIC right now. As a side note, this blanking works as expected in NetBSD and Linux. What is it that FreeBSD is doing differently?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update 3 September 1999 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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? 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 mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people
The Complete FreeBSD, third edition: errata and addenda
Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition Last revision: 2 August 1999 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 Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps. See page 302 of the third edition to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-3.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Page ii ___ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable=YES # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the

After 5 years I am getting ready to move up to a 10/100 RJ-45 hub. I've got a 5-port Linksys (always had good luckwith Linksys); thinking of buying an 8-port 10/100 Linksys for around $50. Would buying a non-name-brand clone do the same job? I've seen little difference. But DONT BUY A HUB! Buy a switch instead. They'll give you better performance, and they hardly cost any more. I have three switches in my network: a Cisco 2900 (24 ports), a Netgear FS105 (5 ports) and a D-Link DSS-8+ (8 ports), in rapidly decreasing order of cost. I've never had any trouble with any of them. It's possible that the cheap switches might have trouble with sustained throughput: an 8 port 100 Mb/s switch can theoretically be confronted with a load of 800 Mb/s. I believe the D-Link can do this speed, though I can't find the docco. No 100 Mb/s hub will have a bandwidth of more than 100 Mb/s, however, and even that is limited by collisions.

It's even worse than that. With full duplex being common, that switch could theoretically have to cope with 1600Mb/s. For $50, the fact that they do so fairly reliably is amazing. - Tillman -- Page xxviii: Live with Unix long enough and you will change.

It looks like Cisco has even stopped listing hubs for sale - layer two switching seems to firmly in control these days :-) The price difference has really become almost non-existent--one thing that we've found to happen with some cheap switches (a year or so old, hasn't happened with newer cheap switches) is that if one moves a computer from one location to another, the switch seems to take its time flushing its tables and the box won't immediately be able to get an address.

It's part of the spanning tree algorithm used to detect and avoid link-level routing loops. My expensive Cisco switch has the same feature, but I found somebody with enough Cisco-foo to turn it off.
