If i can get that fixed, i think i will be well on my way to getting this solved... it doesn't look like the vinum kld is being loaded, since even with the vinum config gone, it should say something like "no vinum drives found, vinum not loaded" in dmesg (i think, please correct me if im wrong) i will investigate this furthar and report back. thanks for the help roland ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

i had this problem to.
i've made some changes to the Makefile and added some more knobs.
i've send my changes to the port maintainer.
for anyone else who wants to use my modified version i've attached these
files.
Makefile replaces the original samba-devel/Makefile
pkg-plist replaces the original samba-devel/pkg-plist
patch-Makefile.in make wrepld buildable samba-devel/files/patch-Makefile.in
i will rewrite the whole Makefile and the pkg-plist again to get rid of
the user-definable path stuff.

Re: Samba and ADS Support PLEASE...
Nice to know I am not alone thanks. I am really thinking this whole issue is related to that one file I removed. To remove the file I simply mv it gssapi.org and samba built successfully, though with out ADS support. I decided to look through the file and noticed that it made quite a few references to kerberos. 2+2=4 but I am still not sure why, how or even what to do to fix it. Suppose that's why I got into unix in the first place, the challenge of it all.

vinum concatenated raid setup problems
Hello all, I have been trying without success to implement a simple vinum concatenated RAID system made up of 2 IDE drives. The boot drive is located on another physical drive and is not part of the RAID. The problems: 1 - I am able to build the RAID, create a filesystem, and mount to a directory in the tree. But I am not able to figure out how to add an entry to my /etc/fstab file so that it is automatically mounted on reboot. I have looked in the handbook and all it says is to "add the proper entries". I simple do not know what entry to add. 2 - On reboot, the vinum config is erased. (or at least thats what it looks like...see dmesg output for info) It is my understanding that on reboot, vinum reads it's configuration from each vinum drive. Since I was able to create and mount the RAID, I assume that the configuration would still be there on reboot, even thought it is not being mounted with fstab (see problem 1). I have tried this on several systems and have yet to be successful in having a vinum config survive reboot. I have re-read and re-read the vinum section in the handbook and have looked elsewhere but have had no luck :( Relevent Info: I have not made any changes to system or vinum sources. The system is a generic 5.1 installed from FTP today. >From the box: VINUM STATE BEFORE REBOOT ## vinum -> l 2 drives: D a State: up /dev/ad2A: 981/28629 MB (3%) D b State: up /dev/ad3A: 981/28629 MB (3%) 1 volumes: V core State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 27 GB 2 plexes: P core.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 27 GB P core.p1 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 27 GB 2 subdisks: S core.p0.s0State: up D: aSize: 27 GB S core.p1.s0State: up D: bSize: 27 GB #VINUM STATE AFTER REBOOT ## vinum -> l 0 drives: 0 volumes: 0 plexes: 0 subdisks: #VINUM CONFIG FILE## thegibsor# cat vinum_config drive a device /dev/ad2 drive b device /dev/ad3 volume core plex org concat sd length 27g drive a plex org concat sd length 27g drive b RELEVANT DMESG BEFORE REBOOT ad0: 28629MB [58168/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ad2: 28629MB [58168/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100 ad3: 28629MB [58168/16/63] at ata1-slave UDMA100 acd0: CDROM at ata0-slave PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a vinum: drive a is up vinum: drive b is up vinum: core.p0.s0 is up vinum: core.p0 is up vinum: core is up vinum: core.p1 is faulty vinum: core.p1.s0 is reviving, not up vinum: core.p1.s0 is up by force vinum: core.p1 is up vinum: core.p1.s0 is up RELEVANT DMESG AFTER REBOOT# ad0: 28629MB [58168/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ad2: 28629MB [58168/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100 ad3: 28629MB [58168/16/63] at ata1-slave UDMA100 acd0: CDROM at ata0-slave PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ###UNAME OUTPUT# $ uname -a FreeBSD thegibsor.thebeatbox.org 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jun 5 02:55:42 GMT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i3 86 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Internal Cable modem support (or, recommendations for a good external CM)
Hey gang, I think the problems I have been having lately are due to the Com21 DoxPort cable modem. The brand spanking new FreeBSD based router is acting just like the old NetGear router (which may be good news - the router may actually be OK!). The symptoms are fairly repeatable. Under duress, the interface will appear to go down. On the NetGear, I could recover by rebooting (via command - the router itself, and the LAN ports, would work fine). On the FreeBSD router, I can ifconfig xl0 down; ifconfig xl0 up - and regain connectivity. I would suspect the card, but the same symptoms on two routers? That sounds suspiciously like a problem with the CM. Also, having poked around on google, the concensus is that Com21 modems are a load of poop - and I have one of the earliest models (I was an @home customer before the big bang) That said, I'm looking to replace the Com21 modem with a new one. I'd like to go with an Internal unit, but I'm not sure (1) whether they are any good or not, and (2) if they are supported by FreeBSD 4.8-REL (or 4.9, which I hope is coming soon) Otherwise, can anyone recommend a good DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem (with an RJ45 port)? I'm on Comcast in Maryland, but I believe any DOCSIS modem should do the job.

nat and ipfw
i have a freebsd server running 4.6.2 with 2 nic cards installed one for our lan (fxp0) that provides connection to the outside world via dsl and the other for an internal subnet (xl0). i have both natd and ipfw configured and running. when on the subnet, i can not connect to the outside. i tried flushing the firewall rules and adding only: ipfw add 100 divert natd all from any to any via fxp0 ipfw add 200 allow all from any to any i am then able to connect from a client on the subnet to an outside ip address. then i tried flushing the rules again and adding: ipfw add 100 divert natd all from any to any via fxp0 ipfw add 200 allow all from 192.168.53.200 to any ipfw add 300 allow all from any to 192.168.53.200 i don't understand why the above rules would stop the client on the subnet from making a connection to the outside. is there another rule i need to add? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Maybe." > I now know how to make this work. And it was a long strange journey. First, when I did "fdisk" & "newfs_msdos" from FreeBSD, neither my W98 SE distribution CD, nor my "Gateway Restore" CD would recognize the drive! (Hardware error, no drive C found.) Then when I delete all partitions, the W98 distribution disk would format the drive & install the OS, but FreeBSD would freeze during the un-tar. (Same result, 2 tries.) I was completely successful when I used the boot CD that came with the Seagate drive (downloadable from http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/drivers/discwiz.html). The "fdisk" and "format" on that CD allowed me to partition and format for W98. I created a bootable floppy which allowed my to "sys" the new C drive. The W98 was bootable. And the "tar" restore from FreeBSD worked fine. My conclusion: The FreeBSD fdisk + newfs_msdos seem to be buggy with regard to creating a primary DOS partition. The seagate tool + bootable W98 floppy allowed me to create bootable W98 partition. The tarfile restored the data. Your mileage may vary as I'm not a very good judge of when W98 is working properly. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Here's my situation. I've got 2 networks at different facilities that are using public routable IP's. Each end has a fbsd box in bridge mode as their firewall between the lan and the cisco routers at each end. I've been tasked to establish a secure tunnel between these two networks and I'm having some trouble. I've searched google for ipsec information on this but every thing that I have found depicts a private lan behind the public ip's of the tunnel endpoints. Has anyone been able to establish this type of tunnel successfully? If so, can you please direct me to some information on this? Thanks. -- Micheal Patterson Network Administration Cancer Care Network 405-917-0600 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Static NAT with natd and ipfw
A client wants to "expose" a host on a LAN behind a NAT firewall to the Internet at large. The host is is behind a FreeBSD machine that's functioning as (among other things) a NAT router. The host already has an unregistered internal address (which it needs to keep), but also must allow others to connect to it from the outside world via a "real" IP address that's distinct from that of the router. In other words, from the point of view of the Internet, I want the host to look as if it's outside the firewall at a separate address from the firewall itself. The natd man page mentions a -redirect_address command line option which looks as if it would do PART of the job. But what other configuration do I have to do (e.g. changes to rc.firewall, rc.conf, etc.) to make this work? I'm sure I could tinker and figure all of this out, but this week is quite busy and I need to get things set up in a hurry. (Also, it's a production system and don't want to cause unnecessary downtime while I experiment.) Advice, and sample lines from configuration files, would be much appreciated. --Brett Glass ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Samba and ADS Support PLEASE...
Is it necessary to modify the Makefile of the samba-devel port on FreeBSD in order to build the package with ADS support? I am not very familiar with the syntax of a Makefile, but I can not seem to find anything in the FreeBSD 5.1 samba-devel Makefile that talks of OpenLDAP, a requirement to ADS support. If it is necessary could some one help me out with this? I have tried several times with still ADS support will not compile in. Also the /usr/include/gssapi.h file must be removed before any make (even the just plain "make") on samba completes. I have tried it about 3 times with 3 fresh installs of FreeBSD 5.1 and a cvsup. I think there is something wrong with the samba port but I am too inexperienced to know for sure. Has anyone else had this problem?

calcru: negative time... lots of odd "errors"
Hopefully this one will get through... I've searched exhaustively for an answer to this question, and can only get answers that aren't entirely clear to me. I'm getting messages like: calcru: negative time of -630883 usec for pid 537(sh). Getting probably 40 or so at boot and an occasional one during use. This a new 5.1 install on an older K6 500Mhz system that was given to me. I have read something about a sysctl command (no good.) Also have seen something about a kernel TIMECOUNTER (I think) config value. I've also seen something about PnP, bios settings, IRQ probs, etc. I'm a bit too new at this to know where to take it.

It could be a ProFTPD issue, although I run ProFTPD, here, and was not able to reproduce the problem. One way to find out quickly is to re-enable the stock ftpd on one of the machines and retry your tests. If the problem goes away with a different server, it's a ProFTPD issue. > I can PUT a file from any server to another and the timestamp on the file > will match from the client to the server machine. > > When I GET a file, the file I GET has its timestamp set 4 hours > backwards. Hmm. That really reeks of time zone issues somewhere in the chain. Try simpler testing--the stock ftpd, rcp/scp, and see if you can obtain different results. So far, it's not obvious to *me* where the specific problem is, but further testing will help, and maybe someone else on the list has encountered this before. > Here are some clues: > > enterprise# date > Thu Oct 23 18:27:36 EDT 2003 > > excelsior# date > Thu Oct 23 18:27:03 EDT 2003 > > voyager# date > Thu Oct 23 18:27:34 EDT 2003 > > > I have a file on enterprise "ent_orig.txt" > > -rw-r--r--1 root grant0 Oct 23 17:33 orig_ent.txt > > When I log in from excelsior, and GET it, the timestamp shows: > > -rw-r--r-- 1 grant wheel 0 Oct 23 13:33 orig_ent.txt > > Yet, when I PUT if (Loggin into excelsior FROM enterprise) it shows: > > -rw-r--r-- 1 grant wheel 0 Oct 23 18:30 orig_ent.txt > > (Note, of course, it really was 18:30 when I did this, so that stamp is OK) > > Any ideas? > > -Grant > > Grant W.

pccardd - no PC-CARD slots on 5.1 release
Hey all, after googling for about 5 hours and trying everything I can think of on my own I hope someone can help. I just upgraded this morning from 4.9RC1 to 5.1 release and I can't seem to find my ethernet card. Laptop: Toshiba Tecra 8100 NIC: old 3Com 3C589C Kernel: Generic plus "device [tab] pcm" for soundcard Tricks I have tried (not in order): Adding "hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1" to /boot/loader.conf. Adding "irq [tab] 10" to /etc/pccard.conf Adding "device [tab] card 2" to my kernel (which made no sense to me but someone online said it worked for them) "pccardc dumpcis" - found 0 slots Manually forcing the IRQ of slot0 to 10 in device.hints Uncommenting the cbb, pcic, pccard and cardbus devices in varying combinations since someone in an old post had to turn one off for his card to work. The background is that this machine has run 4.4, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.9RC1 with the same card in the same slot. They worked this morning before the upgrade, so I'm pretty sure we can rule out hardware :). Yes I start pccardd in rc.conf and yes I recompile the kernel and install it before rebooting (without errors even!). I would love to include my entire dmesg since adding the "device pcic" actually got something loaded, but the command "mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt" errors out since mount_msdosfs apparently wants a block device, not a char. Sigh, this is a painful painful day. Here are the lines that seems interesting from uncommenting pcic: pcic0 at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd-0xd1fff irq 10 on isa0 pcic ident regs: 0x83 0x83 0xff 0xff pcic0: controller 0 (Intel 82365S Revision 1) has sockets A and B pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on pcic0 pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on pcic0 pcic0: bus_space_alloc range 0x0330-0x03ff (probed) pcic1: not probed (disabled) ... pccard1: Card has no functions!

Re: Trying to see website from the Internet
Hi, Well, it's not the router. I removed the router and went directly to the server. I actually installed another server on a windows box. And that didn't help. I called my ISP and they said they don't block ports. I'd be glad if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Upgrading the kernel
I'm upgrading from 4.7 RELEASE to 4.8 RELEASE soon. My understanding is that once you have built the world with buildworld, it's time to build and install the new kernel. My current kernel is customized with a sound card device and nothing else. The FreeBSD Handbook indicates that the safest way to do this is to build and install a kernel based on GENERIC. After booting from GENERIC and verifying that your system works you can then customize your kernel.

Blank terminals, no monitor signal, oh my...
This has happened to me 3-5 times so far, in the past two months. The ttyvs are all black, the monitor acts as though it gets no signal... kind of. Specifically, the monitor will power down the screen after a bit, as normal. However, instead of the light blinking on 1 second intervals or so, it will hardly blink -- almost looking solid, but having an ever so slight point where the led is off. I've never seen such a thing before. As for how it got this way, I'm not quite sure. This time, I plugged my USB drive, went to mount, invalid superblock.. ok, fsck it. [~]$ fsck /dev/da0" ** /dev/da0 ** Phase 1 - Read and Compare FATs hard drive reads for a considerable time (60g on usb 1.1 -- the adapter, not the enclosure). In the end, (repeat the line below in this space, thousands of times perhaps) swap_pager_getswapspace: failed pid 9907 (fsck_msdosfs), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space So now, as you can see, the da0 device is a msdosfs. There are no slices or anything else on the disk.. I created one when I made it, but it didn't show up in /dev and I was told to use da0. So I did. Works relatively well, I might add... though I somehow think it won't work so well on windows. But that's another topic. So, at this point fsck has just died, being out of swap space (192 physical + 384 swap). Arright.. mount.. it worked before, why not this time? "Invalid super block." ... ah well. Worth a shot. fsck /dev/da0 ** /dev/da0 ** Phase 1 - Read and Compare FATs *disk reads for a while, stops reading and the computer starts chunking away on the local hard drive. After a bit, it resumes reading from the USB drive* Now the fun stuff. The first time I only lost a mozilla session and abiword, being out of swap space. This time, it all goes out.. I'm still in X (where I've been doing this all from -- 1 xchat, 2 xterms, and acroread were all that were left running). Problem is, my mouse isn't moving, no keyboard response. So I ctrl-alt-F2 to the terminal I launched x from -- black. Nothing. alt F3, nothing. Alt F9, beep, no X.. so I go back to ttyv1, "startx" and x comes hopping right along. Moral of this paragraph, the consoles are still responsive, I just can't SEE them. The monitor acts somewhere in between "I'm getting a signal" and "I'm not getting a signal." At this point, I'm rather out of ideas. I've not rebooted yet as there's no real need. I know the consoles were working immediately before fsck took out my X as I was doing fsck from ttyv2 as root, rather than sudo. (all the fsck cmds above were sudo, pretty much). It had the same thing as root; run out of swap space. things to note: the file system is fat32; fdisk -s /dev/da0: /dev/da0: 7296 cyl 255 hd 63 sec PartStartSize Type Flags nothing more. fdisk by itself says all partitions are unused. I've never managed to completely fsck this file system; however, mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt/USB does allow me to mount and use it. Not using -t will give me invalid superblock ;-) Howver, I believe ripping the USB cable out before unmounting has given me errors on the drive that fsck has fixed -- it just dies, I go to mount and it works. my kernel config is, in case you want any info about it or to see if I have any debug support built in (you'll have to tell me step-by-step if you want something done, as I've never used it before nor have I seen/found instructions), at: http://w3.uwyo.edu/~ablair/DrkAthlon.conf (copied, pasted, verified.

Ftp changing times of files.
Hello all, The default ftp client from one of my servers, seems to be changing the time and datestamps of files it gets from other servers. All my servers are set to the same time (within a minute) and set to the same timezone (EDT | EST). I have gone completely cross-eyed trying to troubleshoot this.

Re: Migrating from Linux: mounting ext2fs
On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 07:03, Miguel Gonçalves wrote: > How stable is the FreeBSD support for ext2fs? First, if you're planning to migrate your server permanently, you're probably better off reformatting in UFS: it's faster, and better for error recovery. And computers that mount nfs/Samba/whatever shares won't know the difference. If you insist on keeping your partitions in ext2fs: I've seen a couple of problems related to fsck. In particular, when a filesystem is dirty, fsck.ext2 sometimes finds and fixes the problems but then fails to mark the disk as clean (meaning that FreeBSD will refuse to mount it, if you've specified read/write, and it'll be checked again next time you reboot, and so forth). Personally, I've only seen this with ext3 (journaled) filesystems, but I don't know if that's universal. So, to be safe, you'll probably want an rc script that mounts -r any of your ext2 systems that were skipped. (Note that if /mnt/linux fails to mount because it was dirty, /mnt/linux/usr, etc. will also fail to mount.) This way, if the server gets hard-reset somehow, your users will still be able to access their files, even if they aren't able to update them, until you fix things. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

X11Forwarding is an interesting one. It doesn't expose the server
where that option is set to any more security implications than having
sshd(8) running anyway. On the other hand, you as a user ssh-ing into
an untrusted machine are potentially exposed to having nasty things
done to you. Same thing goes for servers with ForwardAgent=yes, which
can lead to loss of your ssh keys. Moral of the story: never ssh into
an untrusted machine without turning off X- and Agent- forwarding on
the client side (that's 'ssh -a -x [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...') and remember
that such things as rsync(1) default to running over ssh nowadays.
netbsd seems to have specifically turned off the X11Forwarding option
due to a security problem several years ago:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/security/advisories/NetBSD-SA2001-010.txt.asc
As far as I can find, this didn't affect FreeBSD because the
vulnerable version of OpenSSH was never imported into the base system.

The convention in the OpenSSH config files is to show the default
value of the setting, but commented out. That way it is obvious that
any uncommented option in the config file is a local modification.

Essentially yes. ssh_config(5) provides the client side defaults for
a user ssh(1) session. However you can override the defaults either
from the command line (ssh -X) or by having your own defaults settings
in ${HOME}/.ssh/config You can't modify the sshd(8) settings as a
mortal user.

Turning off X's binding to tcp sockets is the default nowadays.
However, that won't stop you tunnelling remote X sessions over ssh(1)
-- just so long as the X11Forwarding flag is on for each end of the
connection. In fact, this setup is the best and most secure way of
running X applications over a network.

Matthew

No. I wasn't confused about ports vs. packages. I was confused in that I thought the port cvsup had caused my problem. I've since discovered that it was the system source cvsup (to fix a security vulnerability) that caused my problems. I've updated ports on my laptop and I can still download and install package just fine. However, I'm sure that if I updated to -CURRENT I would no longer be able to install packages.

It's a shame that FreeBSD doesn't provide some sort of system to allow the use of packages with (at the very least) -STABLE. As an administrator, I find myself often torn between updating my system sources from -RELEASE to fix a security vulnerability (and thus give up my ability to install binary packages), and simply recompiling the effected program or library (and any linked programs that depend on it) by hand so I can still install binary packages. Is the ports/packages system actively maintained by anyone? If so, the above might be something to think about. For security updates, each effected package would have to be recompiled with the appropriate fix and somehow become the default choice (overriding the vulnerable package) for systems with a compatible bug fix level. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

FreeBSD installation smothered Windows
Hello! I installed FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE recently, on a hard drive that's split into one 26GB Windows partition, and one 12GB FreeBSD partition (yes, I know, it's really unfair, but I use the music program Logic from Emagic a lot, so I have to keep Windows...otherwise, it would be out the door...). When I installed FreeBSD, the installation program complained that 77504/16/63 couldn't possibly be a correct geometry for the hard drive, a Western Digital WD400BB-75DEA0. I found another geometry, 5166/240/63, which I gave sysinstall, and it seemed to accept it. I don't know which one is correct. Possibly, that's the reason that my Windows partition has some trouble booting up. If I choose to boot the Windows partition, all I get is a lousy blinking cursor, and no response to input (no CTRL-ALT-DEL is accepted). I can wait forever, and then I have to pull out the power cord. Now, I want to reinstall FreeBSD and Windows altogether (after finding some way to back up my 10 GB of precious data). How should I go about it? Windows first, the FreeBSD? Which geometry should I use? /Fredrik, Stockholm ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Is my idea about the irq conflict right or is it something > else? > How van I solve this? It's something else. On recent FreeBSD releases, both V4 and V5, PCMCIA devices share the IRQ of the CardBus bridge. This is almost fixed. You can use a sysctl to use the old ISA interrupts which are not shared, but this is NOT a good idea. Try 'vmstat -i' and notice that the various network cards and many other PCI devices are not listed. Instead there is a 'mux' device which is the shared interrupt. PCI devices may use either the shared interrupt or a unique interrupt depending on how BIOS is configured, but the PCMCIA devices (either PCcard or CardBus) have to use the same IRQ as the bridge to which they are connected. The probable cause is a memory conflict (as indicated by the dmesg). This is being worked on, but, until it is fixed, you need to specify a start address for the card's memory. It must be greater then than the highest physical address of RAM and must not conflict with that of other devices. Add 'hw.cbb.start_memory="0x2000"' to /boot/loader.conf and see if that fixes it. If it does not, try other values. (If you have large amounts of memory, you may need to start larger.) You MAY also need to add 'hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"'. These need to be in loader.conf. sysctl.conf will not work as it loads too late in the boot sequence. You also have some major ACPI issues that may be causing the failure. If your system supports APM, try using that, instead. Or, at least boot with ACPI disabled (hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" in /boot/device.hints). If you want to use APM, load the module in /boot/loader.conf and enable it in /boot/device.hints. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Open SSH, sshd_config on FreeBSD vs. NetBSD re: X11
>From the FreeBSD man page: X11Forwarding Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``yes''. >From the NetBSD page: X11Forwarding Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''. I don't mean to compare apples and oranges, nor to start a "My OS can kick your OSes butt" thread; but I am wondering about the difference. It seems the NetBSD default is safer, but I am also no security wonk. It occurred to me that the man page for FreeBSD could be incorrect; but I doubt that...it actually strikes me as a choice made to reflect a balance between options. Is the default set to no a more secure option? Or is it something that can be arguH^H^discussed at length? I do note that the man page for both OSes states that UseLogin defaults to no, and that if used, X11 forwarding is turned off. However, in the default config file for sshd, the line for UseLogin is commented out. Given this latter state of affairs, can I continue to assume that X11 forwarding is in fact _not_ enabled by default in FreeBSD? Oh, and what is the difference between the entry in the ssh_config file and the sshd_config file? Incoming vs. outbound traffic? That is, sshd_config accepts incoming X11 forwarding (that is, from a remote host, to the localhost), and ssh_config allows outbound (from the localhost to a remote host) X11 forwarding? It sure looks that way... Hmmmnow I'm thinking that this: serverargs="-nolisten tcp" in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx/ may make this a bit of a moot pointis this correct? -- The George W.

IPFW + BRIDGE: network capacity question
Hello everyone. I have an Intel D815EGEW board with a single PIII 1GHZ, 256MEG RAM, 2 Intel Pro 100MB cards. This will be used as an IPFW+bridging firewall with FreeBSD 4.8 (RELENG_4_8, perhaps RELENG_4_9 when available). My message is about network capacity. Assume that it will be processing at peak all of this at once: 500 TCP connections with long lived sessions (an hour or more at a time) 500 UDP 'connections' 500 web (HTTP port 80 tcp) connections per second (graphics, small html pages) The HTTP sessions will be short lived, so lots of TCP handshakes at *least* a good portion will not utilize persistant HTTP The total bandwidth could be 20-50 megabits, mostly outbound to clients on the internet. Should I tweak the kernel at all for this? NMBCLUSTERS or NMBUFS? Something else? For IPFW, I figure that adding accept rules that catch most of the packets up front will help lower CPU usage. Is this correct? Maybe allow TCP if the session is established, allow setup of outbound TCP, allow setup of incoming TCP/80, allow outbound UDP packets to be happy, etc. Does anyone see any possible issues with this configuration and the expected network load? Thank you, folks!

I love 3Ware cards for IDE RAID, especially if you plan to implement IDE RAID on a server who's data is considered even remotely critical. They do run more then Promise/HighPoint/etc cards though, the 8506-4LP (4 port SATA CARD - forgive me if model # is wrong) runs ~$350 US on NewEgg, but they are worth it.

Last question first: IIRC, you were a bit confused regarding ports vs. packages, so the reason for failure of packages (or perhaps it was ports?) to install properly may be as simple as typing commands meant for ports when you really wanted to install a package, or vice versa. Installing a package is as easy as typing 'pkg_add' followed by a URL, or a directory location if you've downloaded the package first. Installing a port is also quite easy - just cd to the port's directory and type 'make install clean.' If you cvsup the -CURRENT or 5.x base system sources and make world, then packages expecting a 4.x base system won't install properly. However (again, IIRC), Mr. Perry was contemplating an update from 4.7 to 4.8, so packages built for 4.x should install fine.

Re: Need some insight on error messages that I am getting.
> Try tweaking it up to, say, WDMA2, etc. and see what happens... OK I changed it to WDMA2 and it seems to behave! Well I went a little further and changed it back to UDMA33 and slowed the ad0 drive to UDMA33. It was previously set at UDMA66. Did the copy operation again, it did not show me any errors. I am assuming here that FreeBSD does not like drives with different speeds on the same bus??? Is my assumption correct?? From what little bit of fooling around that I did seems to support this. When putting everything back to the defaults, I start seeing the messages again. Interesting huh? One of the drives ad0 is capable of ATA100 though my motherboard is not capable of that. It uses UDMA66 and this transfer mode works well in other OS's. The drive that is driving me nuts the ad1 is only capable of UDMA33. This info may/maynot help but it might get one to thinking what could be causing this. Thanks for the help so far!

IDE Drives
Hello, I have a FreeBSD 4.7 box. It has a promise raid card supporting two drives in a mirrored config. It has two drives on the IDE bus. I had to physically move the motherboard to a different case.

Now they are AD9 and AD11. I can not mount the AD11.

Re: ATA Raid cards
3ware is the way to go in my experience. They work really well under FreeBSD, Windows and Linux. The FreeBSD drivers were originally written by Mike Smith and Paul Saab is now maintaining them. They are not overly fancy in FreeBSD but they do what they are designed to do. I have used them extensively in RAID0, 1 and 10. RAID 5 is slow, but thats more RAID5 than anything. Also RAID 1 seems to be very intelligent about reads, using both drives to give better read performance as compared to the stats with just one drive. Writes on RAID 1 are not penalized at all. ---Mike At 09:42 AM 23/10/2003, Mathieu Arnold wrote: Hi, I'm in a need of such a card, but I can't find out which cards are only doing raid under windows with specific drivers, and which cards are doing real hard raid. -- Mathieu Arnold ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

irq conflict laptop with 5.1-current
Hello, Running my laptop Compaq Armada 7400 with 5.1-CURRENT from about two days ago. The OHCI (USB) is on IRQ 11 and the PCCARD/CARDBUS also. I now get a 'arp: unknown hardware address format (0x)' errors. The 0x can also be 0x2063 or oxfc00 or something else. I think it's an irq conflict, but don't know how to give the different device other irq's. In 5.1-RELEASE it all worked ok. Any idea's? Is my idea about the irq conflict right or is it something else? How van I solve this? I wil include the dmesg output here. Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

RE: Dynamic Disks & FreeBSD
AFAIK it's impossible. The problem is that Micro$oft writes their own MBR. Although I think there are some distributions that can mount such drive, you can't boot different OS from this disk (yet). But still you can revert dynamic disk to basic from Disk administration utility in Windows 2000/XP.

I have two hard drives and have used Windows XP Professional to convert both to dynamic.
