Rather, it contains instructions for obtaining and building software to run on your FreeBSD system. When you "make install" a certain port A, it will first make those ports A depends on, and each port THOSE ports depend on, and so on until it comes to a port that doesn't depend on anything you don't already have installed. It will recursively traverse the dependencies until finally it is able to make the port you asked it to make. If I understand you correctly, this is an issue because your fetch is not working through your authenticated ftp proxy. I believe you're going to be less frustrated dealing with that problem first. Otherwise you'll have to manually fetch every distfile for /usr/ports/x11/kde3 and all ports it depends on, directly or indirectly, and that is a =lot= of files, presuming you can manually retrieve these files. You should also be aware that building a mega-package like kde from source is quite a lengthy process, even on relatively fast hardware. You may wish instead to install binary packages. Ordinarily a reference to pkg_add -r is included at this point, but you may have trouble even with that unless and until you get your ftp proxy issue resolved. -- Danny Thanks for the detailed response.

DNS usage question

(1) There's no need to compile sound support and firewall options statically into the kernel. Of course you can do so, but you can use modules for this purpose too. It's your choice. (2) You can safely comment out support for hardware you don't have on your system. (3) It's quite some time ago that 4.9 came out and several security related bugs have been discovered and fixed since then. That's why you should update your sources using cvsup(1) and rebuild the entire base system, not only the kernel. After having updated the sources - cd /usr/src - read UPDATING and README - cp sys/i386/conf/GENERIC sys/i386/conf/CUSTOM_KERNEL - edit your custom kernel configuration - make buildworld - make buildkernel - make installkernel - reboot to single user mode, fsck and mount the file systems - mergemaster -p - cd /usr/src - make installworld - mergemaster these steps will leave you with an up to date system using the GENERIC kernel. To create and install a custom kernel just repeat the make build/install kernel steps in /usr/src but add KERNCONF=CUSTOM_KERNEL. reboot and enjoy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Disk geometry salad...
Hi, I would like to try FreeBSD but recently I've encountered several problems with the detection of my hard drives' geometry, so I have a few questions. I hope this is the right place to ask... First I would like to say that my understanding of this issue is minor, so if my questions seem stupid, I apologize in advance. I have two Western Digital hard drives, (1) WD400BB (40GB) and (2) WD300BB (30GB) and an Asus CUS-L2C motherboard (Intel 815EP chipset). The manufacturer website doesn't provide the CHS geometry for the drives, but lists the number of LBA sectors for each drive. For (1) it's 78,165,360 sectors * 512 bytes resulting in about 40.02 GB. For (2) it's 58,633,344 sectors * 512 bytes resulting in about 30.02 GB. On the first drive I currently have Windows XP, the second drive is empty. Western Digital's diagnostic utility for Windows detects the CHS geometry of the drives as (1) 4865/255/63 and (2) 3649/255/63 and confirms that the number of LBA sectors is identical to the manufacturer specification. FreeBSD 5.2.1 detects the CHS geometry (When it boots, there's a listing of the hard drives and the CHS geometry, but no LBA sectors) as (1) 77545/16/63 and (2) 58168/16/63. I have several questions regarding this. 1) What is the difference between a geometry of 58168/16/63 and 3649/255/63, why did the diagnostic utility detect the latter form, while FreeBSD detected the former (Also, Linux 2.4 detects the geometry as 3649/255/63)? 2) When installing FreeBSD, sysinstall warns that a geometry of the first drive (1) as it detects it (77545/16/63) is incorrect and can't be used. It automatically replaces the values with 4865/255/63. The problem is that after replacing the geometry with 4865/255/63 the number of LBA sectors (as listed in the Disk Slice editor) becomes lower than the manufacturer spec (78,156,225 instead of 78,165,360). What does this mean? 3) I tried installing FreeBSD on the second drive. Sysinstall didn't complain about the geometry of 58168/16/63 and I was able to install. The interesting thing is that when I started the installation program of Fedora Core Linux (Had to check something, and it was FC1 which means 2.4 kernel) it complained about an incorrect partition table that was generated by a tool that didn't have the right BIOS geometry. When I reinstalled FreeBSD on the same drive, but changed the geometry from 58168/16/63 to 3649/255/63, and launched the Fedora Core setup again - it didn't complain!

Getting ProFTPD to listen on just one IP address
Hi all, Can anyone enlighten me as to how I get ProFTPD to just listen to one IP address ? I've just installed from ports, so I've got proftpd-1.2.10.r1 I've added the following to my config file : DefaultAddress193.xx.xx.xx I then start ProFTPD and get the following message: - setting default address to 193.xx.xx.xx However, netstat -an | grep 21 shows me this tcp4 0 0 *.21 *.* LISTEN So it's binding to both IP's on the machine. I've tested this and I can definitely FTP to both IP addresses - which is NOT what I want. The reason I'm trying to get this working is that I need 2 different config's on the same machine.

Intel Ethernet card not being detected
Hi all, I just bought a server from DNUK . It claims to have the following Ethernet card combination: Intel PRO/1000 / 1000 Mbit / integrated Intel PRO/100 / 100 Mbit / integrated I've installed FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE onto the box, and all I see is em0, I don't see an fxp0 device. I've tried installing SuSE Linux on the machine, and it detects both cards. For the 100Mb, I see the following in dmesg after boot: e100: selftest OK. e100: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection Hardware receive checksums enabled cpu cycle saver enabled I can then allocate it an IP address and it appears to work. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get this working under FreeBSD ?

Policy-based transparent proxying
Hi guys Suppose my FreeBSD machine is a router/firewall for a small private network and I use transparent proxying. ipnat.conf looks like this : rdr fxp0 192.168.0.254/32 port 80 -> 192.168.0.254 port 8000 tcp rdr fxp0 0/0 port 80 -> 192.168.0.254 port 3128 tcp map dc0 192.168.0.0/24 -> x.x.x.x/32 proxy port ftp ftp/tcp map dc0 192.168.0.0/24 -> x.x.x.x/32 portmap tcp/udp auto map dc0 192.168.0.0/24 -> x.x.x.x/32 fxp0 being the internal iface and dc0 the external one Now suppose I shall have one more subnet - 192.168.1.0/24 and I want to nat it to another external IP address and make it use a different proxy. With nat it's rather clear but as to using a separate proxy - man 5 ipnat and practice says I can't use "from" clause in rdr. Any ideas (except switching to ipfw) ?

Probably only the device ID of the card is not listed in the fxp0 driver.
Your case reminds of a very similar problem in c.o.f.m., where the
following made the card (also Intel) work (a PR has already been filed):
Try adding the following line into the following struct
static struct fxp_ident fxp_ident_table[]
(/usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c)
{ 0x1051, -1, "Intel 82562ET Pro/100 Ethernet" },
This was a Tyan S5102G3NR motherboard with 3 onboard NICs. Of course,
the correct name for your NIC might be different, but that shouldn't
bee too much of a problem.
In case I guessed wrong, please provide me with the output of
pciconfig -l
dmesg
and I'll what I can do. A link to the specification of the motherboard
wouldn' hurt, either.

I'm having a similar problem, in fact I posted a query on
freebsd-questions last week (subject: miibus and fxp motherboard
devices). The on-board NICs are being seen, however they aren't
being configured fully.
I have a 3 onboard NIC motherboard; I've asked the supplier for
the manufacturer's name of the motherboard. I've tried adding
the 0x1051 line to my if_fxp.c file, but it did not have any effect.
This is ifconfig for fxp0 and fxp3, being the first motherboard
mounted and an external pci-card mounted version of the same chip:
fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
inet x.y.z.a netmask 0x broadcast x.y.z.255
ether 00:30:64:01:86:ff
media: Ethernet manual
fxp3: flags=8802 mtu 1500
ether 00:30:64:01:81:18
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
This is the comparable dmesg:
fxp0: port 0xd400-0xd43f mem \
0xe720-0xe72f,0xe7302000-0xe7302fff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci0
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:86:ff, 10Mbps
fxp3: port 0xc000-0xc03f mem \
0xe600-0xe60f,0xe6201000-0xe6201fff irq 10 at device 12.0 on pci3
fxp3: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:81:18
inphy0: on miibus0
inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
Note how the external is on the miibus while the on-board isn't, and
that the supported media types list 10baseT etc whereas the on-board
simply support 10Mbps (manual).
This is pciconf:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8:0: class=0x02 card=0x chip=0x12298086 \

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:12:0: class=0x02 card=0x00018086 chip=0x12298086 \
rev=0x08 hdr=0x00
Aside from experimentation, is there a way to determine what the
correct value is that should go into the if_fxp.c known-devices
array, if that is in fact the problem?
Thank you for your help,
Regards,

Cannot get USR 5610 modem to work in 5.2.1
Hello! I have a USR 5610 PCI modem that, for some reason, I cannot get to work under FreeBSD 5.2.1. I just installed 5.2.1 last week. Previously, I used 5.1, but it was on a different computer. The thing is, the modem worked great in that other computer. I switched it over to this computer after buying the computer new a couple of months back. When I boot the machine, dmesg says it finds the modem at sio0 with irq 18. A line or two later, it says it's moving sio0 to sio4, and it puts something else (presumably the "real" serial port on the back of my PC) into sio0. It complains about irq 18 not being in the pool of irqs, or something like that, and says that this port may not be enabled. If I then take a look in /dev, there are no serial ports (sio0 or sio4) listed, but I do have cuaa0 and cuaa4. (which I've noticed that cuaia4, cuaa4, and cuala4 all disappear if I pull out the modem) When I run pciconf -l -v, it tells me that the modem is still at sio4, even though nothing by that name is in /dev. I've also tried running a few basic commands on /dev/cuaa4, but with no luck. I ran ppp, set the device, speed, and enabled dns (as per the ppp troubleshooting section of the handbook) and typed term. I got the correct prompt, but when I try to type in 'at' (without the quotes), all I get on the screen is 'a'. Things seem to be one letter behind. If I were to keep typing and do atdt, it would only show atd until I hit enter. If I hit enter a second time, the cursor returns to the beginning of the line with atdt on it, rather than giving me a new line. At this point, I cannot quit. I just have to bring up another terminal and killall ppp. I've also played around with cu, but with similar results. When I issue cu -l /dev/cuaa4, it says "CONNECT". Then when I try typing the at or atdt commands, it does the same as ppp, and I have to kill it in a similar manner. I've tried moving PCI cards around, and it gives me different irqs (18, 19, or 20, depending on the slot I put it in), but I always get the same results. I don't understand why this modem would work perfectly and simply in my old computer, but not in the new one. What could be preventing it from working? Any ideas or suggestions would be great. I've googled around, read the handbook, and I just can't seem to get it going. I think if I could just get a push in the right direction, I'd be okay. I'm not subscribed to freebsd-questions, though I do watch the group through usenet.

script entry to finding the version after a cvsup
Hi, I have written a basic script to cvsup, buildworld and install the new kernel-world etc. I have introduced some basic logging, so I can track the time taken. Now I would like to track the version it was before the upgrade (ie. uname -r ), and what it is after the upgrade. Now, I can't use uname -r, because the server has to be restarted so it can pick up the new kernel etc. So my question is, where can I find a entry in the downloaded kernel/world source files that says that it is FreeBSD 4.9 p9 etc. I can't use stable-supfile, because it only records the 'branch' that is being upgraded, not the full version. Any clues? Cheers, Paul Hamilton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Whatever happened to the sticky bit (for files)
This may be better suited for hackers@, but I thought I'd bring it up here to get perspective. I was reading this article: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3202 and related articles that it links to, and thinking - why did the sticky bit go away? Unless I'm mistaken, at one time turning on the sticky bit on a binary would tell the kernel not to swap out that program when it was running (or somtehing similar ... I think it used to mean "kernel must never swap out this data") Anyway ... considering the arguments that swap algorithms can be stupid (they have to balance the need for disk cache with the need for app space) Wouldn't it make sense to put some of that power back in the hands of the admins and developers? If the sticky bit meant something again ... then admins would have control! Imagine this. The kernel has a new sysctl: use_sticky or something, that allows an admin to revert back to current behaviour. The kernel then takes the sticky bit on an executable file to mean, "do not swap this out unless there's nowhere else to get memory from". This would give the admin the ability to pick certain apps that must always respond quickly (even after long periods without use) and force them to stay in physical RAM where they could jump right to the task. Setting kern.use_sticky=0 causes the kernel to ignore the sticky bit and treat all programs the same, in case this causes problems for someone. Now, what complexity this might introduce into the kernel is beyond my complete understanding, and that complexity alone might prevent such a change. But I'm interested as to why it hasn't been done. I simply refuse to think that nobody else has thought of it. I just figure that there's a good reason somewhere why not to do it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The data format used by an ATA disk to report its c/h/s geometry permits at most 65535 cylinders. It also reports its sector capacity and maximum addressable LBA block number in 32 bit fields. This geometry is usually somewhat artificial and may be changed by the host system. The c/h/s data format used to pass a disk sector address to a BIOS disk service routine permits at most 1024 cylinders, 255 heads and 63 sectors per track. In order to maximize the number of disk sectors that can be addressed using the BIOS interface, a BIOS often reports a disk geometry different than what the disk reports to the BIOS and uses that "BIOS" geometry when interpreting disk addresses specified in BIOS function calls. A BIOS geometry usually has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track because that produces the largest addressable disk size. >From the information you have provided I cannot be certain how the numbers you report were generated, but I can speculate. The ATA disk might report a default geometry with 16 heads and 63 sectors per track because those numbers can be used with both ATA and BIOS geometries. The ATA disk cannot report more than 65535 cylinders, but it can report the actual disk capacity in sectors. If FreeBSD were to divide the ATA disk capacity by the cylinder size (#heads * #sectors), it might conclude that the 40GB drive has 77545 cylinders. Since such a large cylinder number cannot be specified in c/h/s format, the driver must be using LBA format when issuing read/write commands. If you divide the 40 GB drive capacity by the typical BIOS cylinder size, you get 4865 cylinders. That is probably where the disk geometry "4865/255/63" comes from. Since cylinder numbers above 1023 cannot be passed to BIOS function calls, the "extended" BIOS functions which use 28 bit LBA addressing must be used to access the entire drive. The common FreeBSD bootstrap program uses the BIOS disk functions with c/h/s addressing by default and therefore cannot access more than 1024*255*63 sectors, a little under 8 GB, unless it is reconfigured with the "boot0cfg" command to use the extended BIOS disk functions. It is often hard to tell exactly what a particular BIOS and bootstrap configuration are doing. You may be able to avoid confusing bootstrap problems by keeping all disk partitions used for booting inside the first 1024*255*63 sectors. >> > 2) When installing FreeBSD, sysinstall warns that a geometry of the > first drive (1) as it detects it (77545/16/63) is incorrect and can't be > used.

What does this mean? >> Sysinstall, which probably uses BIOS geometry, apparently knows that a geometry with so many cylinders cannot be correct. It apparently guessed 255 heads and 63 sectors per track and computed the largest number of cylinders that would produce a disk capacity that did not exceed the capacity specified by the original geometry. Since you can't have a fraction of a cylinder, you often lose access to a few sectors when you convert the disk geometry. This beats getting an I/O error because you rounded the number of cylinders up instead of down. I don't know why sysinstall seems to tolerate 4865 (more than 1024) cylinders. (Note: a BIOS usually uses a geometry with 255 heads and 63 sectors per track but could choose to use a smaller number of heads or sectors. It is possible
New Servers - Mail, Perl - MySQL - PHP and things.
Hi all, As mentioned in a couple of posts, I am about to deploy two new servers, and have some time to ask a few questions :-) So far, I have FreeBSD 4.10 installed and running nicely. It is virgin, not been touched ... yet. 1. Should I upgrade the perl version. FBSD comes with 5.005_03. I think the latest Perl distro was 5.8. If yes, do I install directly from ports? If yes, how do I ensure the old version is being ignored. I gues what I am really asking, is what is the correct upgrade procedure? I want to be able to keep THIS (FBSD) installation 'upgradeable'. I have done some things to my other systems (FBSD 4.9 and 4.4) that I have been told would break if I upgraded the OS. 2. What are the key items to adhear to when installing FBSD and other software so that the OS remains upgradeable? In the past, I have always used suEXec with Apache. Lately, I have been considering that it may be more pain than its worth. 3. Thoughts on the above please. For mail, I am currently using Exim (4.22) along with vm-pop3d, and Spamassassin. I implimented this combination so I could have truely virtual POP3 mbox's. I find little support for vm-pop3d, and I find Exim is alot of work to impliment (Routers, Transports etc). 4. Does anyne know of a better, still secure, simple method of managing virtual pop accounts that can still handle all the details? (Majordomo, Spamassassin etc). 5. What are the latest releases of Apache, Perl PHP Mysql that seem to play nice for everyone. I have installing software only to find that one relase of one thing does not work with another release of another!

Re: Intel Ethernet card not being detected
Hi, I just had a look at that older post of yours, and I saw that you are still running FreeBSD 4.8. Could you consider upgrading to 4.10-RELEASE or -STABLE? Have a look at the CVS logs for the fxp driver, and at the driver source itself, and you will notice that quite a lot has changed: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c When you compare fxp_ident fxp_ident_table (where the device IDs are defined) of FreeBSD 4.8 and 4.10, you'll see that there are now entries for different revisions of 0x12298086 based cards, and there's also an entry for the chip revision that is used in your board (rev. 0x08). IMO there's a really good chance that upgrading will make your onboard NICs work properly. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c?rev=1.110.2.28&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_8 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c?rev=1.110.2.32&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_10 Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

If I am not mistaken the "fix" for this problem is to remove the AT keyboard driver from the kernel? This is mentioned somewhere in the handbook, too I think.

Re: Whatever happened to the sticky bit (for files)
On Jun 1, 2004, at 10:08 AM, Bill Moran wrote: Unless I'm mistaken, at one time turning on the sticky bit on a binary would tell the kernel not to swap out that program when it was running (or somtehing similar ... I think it used to mean "kernel must never swap out this data") That's right, although it's been a few years since that has been used by any OS I can point to. :-) The general idea was that if the system is under VM pressure, it would end up swapping out pages of memory from inactive processes, only you don't want to swap out parts of /bin/sh, or cron, or some other long-running daemons, because you'll end up wanting those pages resident again soon. So you'd mark certain important executables with the sticky bit to help the VM system focus on evicting less critical pages. Anyway ... considering the arguments that swap algorithms can be stupid (they have to balance the need for disk cache with the need for app space) Wouldn't it make sense to put some of that power back in the hands of the admins and developers? Maybe. The situation may more closely resemble the case of using the "register" keyword in C code. At one point, that helped the compilers focus on optimizing the right variables, and also had the advantage of preventing usage of those variables from being potential memory aliases to other parts of memory. Nowadays, the compilers do a good enough job of optimizing register usage for themselves that the "register" keyword is somewhere between not very useful and counterproductive. VM paging algorithms have improved since the usage of the sticky bit was common, and available physical memory on typical systems has also increased significantly. VM systems which use a global page-fault frequency algorithm to help balance memory usage between processes tend to give /bin/sh and other essential daemons enough RAM that you don't tend to swap out their pages anyway when the VM system is looking for pages to evict. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can run the Samba client software on the laptop, or change the file sharing on the server to NFS. Or, of course, you could change both to some third sharing solution. Which depends on your assessment of the pros/cons of each; performance, interoperability (do you potentially have other machines that need to reach those resources?), security , etc. For the short term, running smbclient on the laptop is probably the quickest way to get your connectivity back with the fewest config changes, if that helps.

What does this mean? You've encountered a well-known bug in the installer. I've experienced it too and so have many others. During the install, when you're in the fdisk partition editor, just hitting "g" is usually all you have to do to correct the bug. If you've already installed, I'm not sure what you can do to correct the bug other than go back and reinstall, this time hitting "g". There might be another way to change disk geometry without doing that, but I don't know how (anybody reading this know?).

Intel PRO/Wireless 2200
hi, question about a wireless card -- I would like to get a Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 (b/g) mini pci card to run on my laptop (inspiron 8600), but i'm not sure if it is supported by freebsd. i couldn't find any info on the website/lists/web/etc. about whether freebsd has the necessary drivers (or if they exist). i have found that there is a driver for linux, apparently made by intel. they have a page at sourceforge: http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ so, does freebsd already support the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200, and if not, will the above linux driver work with freebsd? thanks for any help. mike _ Watch LIVE baseball games on your computer with MLB.TV, included with MSN Premium! http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200439ave/direct/01/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
acd0 freeze with latest -CURRENT
Hello, I'm facing a problem which appeared between Apr 26 and today: when using the DVD drive of my girlie'laptop, mplayer stands frozen after a few seconds/minutes. I can 'atacontrol reinit 1' and things go on... until next freeze :-/ Not so a specific mplayer issue: same thing when attempting to vob-copy with dvdrip. Laptop model is Compaq Presario 2120EU. You'll find at the end of this email dmesg, ps when the problem arises, kernel config and pciconf -l. I just included DDB in a fresh kernel, but couldn't play much with it, cause IANAC, and especially not wrt the kernel. I'd appreciate if someone could point me at valuable docs/debugging howto so that i can provide anyone who'd care with it with useful input. Last point: the commits from today back to end april on ATA deal with "autosense" feature -> could someone satisfy my curiosity and explain me what is it ?

Absolutely, but what about monsters like OpenOffice? I'm also wondering if this is a Linux thing? I don't see my FreeBSD desktop machine giving me a lot of grief about programs I haven't used in a while being too slow to respond. I mean, there _is_ a problem sometimes, but the response is still usually better than a faster machine with more memory using Windows, so I figure FreeBSD has got a good set of VM algorithms going.

Static route between two machines.
Hello, In a little test scenario to learn more about routing, I've come up with the folling setup consisting of two machines, directly connected via two separate interfaces on each machine: 172.16.100.10 <---> 172.16.100.25 (fxp0) (ed0) Host ABCHost XYZ (fxp1) (ed1) 192.168.100.10 <--> 192.168.100.25 What I'm trying to do, is force all network traffic through the interfaces on the 172.16.100/24 subnet, as if the link between the two hosts over the 192.168.100/24 subnet did not exist. For example, if I were logged into host ABC and attempted to ping 192.168.100.25, I would like the echo request to be sent via fxp0 (and have the reply come back on fxp0, of course). I've tried doing this by setting up static routes on each host such as: Host ABC: route add -host 192.168.100.25 -interface fxp0 Host XYZ: route add -host 192.168.100.10 -interface ed0 The commands succeed, but the resulting routes don't work as I expected. If I tell tcpdump to listen for ICMP and try pinging 192.168.100.25 from host ABC, tcpdump shows that fxp0 (172.16.100.10) did, in fact, receive an echo request, but ed0 on the other end (also running tcpdump) never picks up that request. I'm not sure if the traffic is being dropped by fxp0 or not - tcpdump says that a request was made, after all, so should I assume this was sent over the wire as well? ed0 certainly never gave that impression. So this is where I'm stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated. If my question doesn't have an easy answer, would someone mind pointing me in the right direction?

I have the following in my /etc/rc.conf (This is everything related to my network settings) hostname="bsdjunky.homeunix.org" ifconfig_xl0="inet my.ip.address netmask 255.255.255.0" pccard_ifconfig="inet my.ip.address netmask 255.255.255.0" kern_securelevel="NO" sshd_enable="NO" gateway_enable="YES" hostname="bsdjunky.homeunix.org" portmap_enable="NO" network_interfaces="auto" rwhod_enable="YES" ppp_enable="YES" ppp_profile="pppoe" ppp_mode="background" sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_flags="-bd" sendmail_pidfile="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" In /etc/periodic.conf daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO" daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" daily_submit_queuerun="NO" This is for the other basic question I have. Here is my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (minus usr and passwd of course) default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command nat enable yes nat same_ports yes nat use_sockets yes set redial 0 0 pppoe: set device PPPoE:xl0: set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set speed sync enable lqr set lqrperiod 5 set cd 5 set dial set login set timeout 0 set authname [EMAIL PROTECTED] set authkey passwd set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR# Add a (sticky) default route enable dns I really have no clue obviously about networking, basic e-mail stuff like domain name, hostname, and the such. I thought I was getting the hang of things but just figured out that I know nothing. I am able to download my e-mails but I can not send any e-mails to anyone besides myself. ANYONE! I've attached my postfix main.cf file. Hope someone could really help me out here. My second problem is when connected to the net (I have a Static IP/PPPoE through Bellsouth) After a little while I am not able to connect to the net. Thank You! __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.

Sounds like your X settings are not conducive to any resolution higher than the minimum. I think it's been a long time since anyone wrote a GUI app that would work on a 640x480 screen! See this chapter of the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html I'm guessing you somehow have either a monitor or vid card config that makes X think it has to run at a super low resolution. Try to use the information in that chapter to work things out. Sometimes it helps to look through /var/log/XFree86.0.log ... that file often contains information that may tell you what part of the configuration is the limiting factor. If you're not able to get anywhere, post again and include your XFree config, as well as the log file mentioned above. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

kernel panic and postfix problems
hello, i am running a personal server and after nearly 26 days of uptime without any major problems last night at around ten pm. central time there was what i assume is a kernel panic. im running 5.2 RELEASE on a pentium 3 877 mhz. heres the output: (hopefully this is accurate i had to write this out by hand, if someone knows how to get the orignal output that would be nice) Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid =0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0x38 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc06bc08a stack pointer = 0x10:0xcb57098c frame pointer = 0x10:0xcb570a68 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres1, dres321, gran1 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, 10pl=0 current process = 27 (swi1:net) trap number = 12 panic page fault cpuid=0; syncing disks, buffers remaining... 1787 1787 and then it was crashed hard. i couldnt switch virtual terminals, i couldnt shut down, all i could do is press the power button. so thats my first problem, what happened? was it a kernel panic? or was it something different, and whatever it was, what caused it? ok now onto the next problem. i was running my own mail server until recently as well, but i was getting beaten into the ground by spam. my /var/spool/postfix directory was 1.8 gigabytes. it was all spam i was bouncing from dynamic ips. none of it was getting to my accounts, but my server was getting clogged, since im running this off of adsl. im just wondering what i can do to stop this. the legitimate mail was not a problem at all. also this only started being a problem after a few weeks. as a temporary solution ive stopped postfix and deleted my entire spooled mail directory. however i would like a more permenant solution to these spammers attacking my server. right now postfix is bouncing all emails where the ips dont match the domain name. well thanks for any and all help. cya anthony philipp ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

fat32 corruption
Hi, Is there any status on bug kern/39043? I think I'm experiencing the same problem, but under 5.2.1. The bug was written against 4.6 but it does not seem to have been closed for 2 years (if I'm reading it correctly.. I'm not very familiar with the bug database). But I'm asking here as opposed to the samba mailing list since the bug report seems to be pointing the finger at a kernel bug. Symptoms: I installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 then samba 3.0.4 from source (I was unable to install the samba 3.0.x from ports, it keeps failing with ec = -1). By default I was getting the following message in /var/log/messages: May 30 14:24:21 mbox kernel: kern.maxpipekva exceeded, please see tuning(7) so I added: kern.ipc.maxpipekva=16222976 to the defaults. Don't know what the value should've been, but at least this fixes the message. I attached an older 80GB drive as /library. I created 10 files in notepad on windows XP Pro. They are just text files, with the sequence 0-9 repeated six times per line, then repeated for about 200,000 lines, giving me 10 identical files of about 16 mb. Exported my fat drive as /fat, and my /tmp drive as /ufs. Ran a copy from windows: copy testfile* \\computername\fat and copy testfile* \\computername\ufs in my tmp, the ten files were identical. on my fat drive, none of the ten files were identical to each other. The size was the same, but the data inside was scrambled, after a few correct blocks at the beginning. Using the /V flag on xcopy didn't signal any errors, but doing an fc /b after the copy from the windows machine showed a lot of differences. There were no errors while copyin to the ufs share, but coping to the fat share I get tons of the following in the samba.machine log: [2004/06/02 00:41:53, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(657) posix_fcntl_lock: WARNING: lock request at offset 0, length 92233720368547758\ 08 returned [2004/06/02 00:41:53, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(658) an Invalid argument error.

This is a 32-bit machine. NFSCLIENt and NFSSERver is commented out in the kernel config file. I am also curious to know if this bug would affect updates to files, or just copies. Some of the files were updated over the share. I'm not sure if I trust the updates, but I can't visually inspect 60GB of data looking for anomalies. TIA... FWIW, my fstab and dmesg follows.

Hi, I don't know about your routing issue ... but if you're using the 5.2.1 release, you can put the following in your rc.conf and have it still work (if, as the subject line says, you really are only using it for local system mail): sendmail_enable="no" It's not intuitive to me either, but it does work (at least it did for me). >From the rc.sendmail man page: sendmail_enable (str) If set to ``YES'', run the sendmail(8) daemon at system boot time. If set to ``NO'', do not run a sendmail(8) daemon to listen for incoming network mail.This does not preclude a sendmail(8) daemon listening on the SMTP port of the loopback interface. The ``NONE'' option is deprecated and should not be used. It will be removed in a future release. -Danny ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
