freebsd pxeboot problem
Hi all, Am having trouble with pxeboot on freebsd 5.1. Am following procedure at http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml (relevant bit pasted at bottom). This procedure states to create an empty 25Mb file using dd, make a fs out of it (disklabel/newfs/mdconfig), then rsync the contents of mfsroot to this fs. This is then used as the rootfs on the pxeboot client (set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c). When I try this, the client hangs forever on boot in loader.rc. However, if I simply create a fs using mdconfig and use this on the client, it boots to sysinstall ok (ie gunzip mfsroot.gz; mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsroot -u0). I can even mount this fs before I pxeboot and put an install.cfg file there. However, when the client reads it, it hangs when trying to mount server:/usr/local/export/freebsd to install the distribution (Mounting x.x.x.x:/usr/local/export/freebsd over NFS on /dist). I tried exporting the /usr without -ro but no difference. Suspect there is no room on the mfsroot fs more mounting nfs (since I haven't got a 25Mb file). Has anybody set this up before. I have seen somebody else had this problem on freebsd list, but no response. Any help would be appreciated. (Do I summarise back to this list?). Thanks === cd /usr/local/export/pxe dd if=/dev/zero of=mfsroot bs=1k count=25000 mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsroot -u0 disklabel -r -w md0 auto newfs /dev/md0c mkdir -p /mnt/mfs mount /dev/md0 /mnt/mfs There, now we've got 25 megs of space mounted on /mnt to play with. The basic rule of thumb here to keep in mind is that you are building a root file system for FreeBSD. Everything the kernel, sysinstall, and your install programs needs from the root file system is what you need to have in your /mnt directory. To get started we'll copy the contents of the distribution mfsroot.flp to our new mfsroot: mkdir /mnt/floppy mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 1 -f /usr/local/export/freebsd5.1/floppies/mfsroot.flp mount /dev/md1 /mnt/floppy cp /mnt/floppy/mfsroot.gz /tmp umount /mnt/floppy mdconfig -d -u 1 gunzip /tmp/mfsroot.gz mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 1 -f /tmp/mfsroot mount /dev/md1 /mnt/floppy rsync -avzH /mnt/floppy/ /mnt/mfs umount /mnt/floppy mdconfig -d -u 1 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All security fixes and critical updates are in RELENG-4 too. Are these correct? No -- RELENG_4 and RELENG_4_10 are quite different things. And note that it's RELENG_4 not RELENG-4. RELENG_4_10 is the cvs branch corresponding to 4.10-RELEASE-pN. That's a code branch which is relatively static, receiving only security patches and serious errata (which is different to 4.9-RELEASE and earlier, which only got security fixes). A RELEASE version is intended for production use where downtime is complete anathema. RELENG_4 is the cvs branch corresponding to 4.10-STABLE. That's a *development* branch, where new code and support for new devices will be introduced. Note that we call it '4.10-STABLE' simply because 4.10 was the last RELEASE branch created. Generally as you track 4-STABLE over time, that version number will be incremented about every four months. However, 4.10 might well be the last release from the 4.x series, withthe creation of the RELENG_5 branch that's planned to occur simultaneously with the release of 5.3. A 4.10-STABLE release is called 'STABLE' because that's how it's meant to run: stably. FreeBSD STABLE versions have an enviable track record at achieving just that. It has been achieved only by careful testing of all code in the 'CURRENT' or HEAD branch of CVS before MFC (Merge From Current) into the STABLE branch. RELENG_4 gets all of the security fixes and errata that are applied to RELENG_4_10, although they might occur in a slightly different form: eg. an upgrade of a component software system to a new version rather than a minimal set of patches to do no more than fix a particular flaw.

Re: Compilation
Carlos Torchia [Wed, Jul 21, 2004 at 06:02:43AM +0100]: Hi. I can't compile a program using the G2 graphics library. When I tried compiling the program the first time, cc said it didn't know that g2.h was in /usr/local/include, which I think is pretty stupid. Anyway, I put /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib in the -I and -L parameters respectively. Yes, that's correct. You need to pass -I and -L each time you compile a program, that has its libs / includes not in /usr/{lib,include} . There are 3 options: use Linux (which has almost everything in /usr/include and /usr/lib, but you still have to pass -I and -L sometimes, for postgresql for example); symlink all files in /usr/X11R6/{lib,include} and /usr/local/{lib,include} in your /usr/{lib,include} - which will clobber up your filesystem a bit; learn to write / use Makefiles or pkg-config stuff. For example, you could write Makefile like: myprogram: myprogram.c $(CC) -o myprogram `gtk-config --libs --cflags` myprogram.c Then it saw the header and library files, but there were constant errors saying that there were undefined references to X11 functions within libg2.a. Aye! That's why you specify -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 and some more stuff on gcc command line. Too hard, too complicated, takes too much time? Well. Either write a good makefile, or try to learn some IDE for GCC (anjuta, kdevelop), which can propably take care of this automatically. I think, that learning automake/autoconf (the scripts, that generate configure script, that autodetects library locations) can be hard/unneeded for you at the moment. and how to redirect error output from programs to files (or pipe them), because everything I need to now about Unix or FreeBSD comes from 72 hours of trying to figure out how to make a directory or something. Google is your friend: http://www.bo.infn.it/alice/alice-doc/mll-doc/usrgde/node18.html I'm sorry, but I just can't do anything in this operating system. I mean, finally I've found a library that makes it simple to simply plot a pixel in a window without spending hours looking for a GTK tutorial that will tell me about this stupid graphics context stuff that I don't even know. And now I gotta figure out about this stupid g2 thing. Ok. Well anyway, thanks for any help you can give me. If you just want to get the job done, I'd suggest Python. You don't care about compilation, libraries, other stuff - and it is extremely simple to draw stuff using PyGTK - http://www.moeraki.com/pygtktutorial/pygtk2tutorial/ch-DrawingArea.html If graphics context stuff bothers you, well, that's somehow standard way to draw stuff, well, X has it and win32 also has it :) If you want to use something like a framebuffer, I am sure you can find something, no matter if in GTK or X11 (I'd suggest XSHM extension for framebuffer-like stuff, but well, I've written my last pure-X11 application about 5 years ago, and I'm sure, that things have changed). Hope this helps. Don't get frustrated - spend another 72 hours actually reading the docs, unix is simple, but sometimes not as simple, as you may suppose :) -- m ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please note that the tags do not use hyphens as in `1-2' but underscore characters as in `4_10'. The answer to your first question is: Yes. At least these days they're equivalent. You might want to keep in mind that it's very important to make the distinction between a branch of development and a specific tag. RELENG_4 is a branch, a continuous path of development that was spawned of the main FreeBSD trunk when RELENG_4 was created as a branch. As all branches this can grow or spawn new sub-branches. RELENG_4_10 is one of those sub-branches. It's a special sub-branch of RELENG_4 that contains a version of the sources as they were on the day 4.10-RELEASE was set in stone plus any critical security fixes that the Security Officer Team decides that should be added. if i got this right, RELENG-4-10 will be used to stay explicitly with 4.10-?

Applications starting problem (from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/) after upgrade
Definition of the problem: Installed applications daemons which have their startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ are not starting during system boot as they should. Description of the problem: I had very good working server at FBSD 5.2.1 with several applications (such as apache2, mysql, pureftpd, postfix, saslauth) and I have upgraded it one day, due to security advisories of FBSD developers, and application advisories due to portaudit advisories. Buildworld and whole process of upgrading system from cvsup goes well, portupgrade of applications also. And after that I discovered, that upgraded applications does not start during system boot. I chcecked my srcipts permissions (fine), same scripts (fine too - if I run any script from commandline after the system start, it boots the proper daemon nicely) and config files of applications (fine too). After that I started to read forums, and google, then find out that daemons now needs declarations in /etc/rc.conf so I added them. Still nothing. I finished with that I added the scripts at the end of the only starting script which is apache2 script, but this is *NOT* proper solution, even if daemons are working. Can *anybody* give me *any* hint/tip or tell me what I did wrong? Im fightng with that for almost two weeks right now, and that affects all 3 of my machines.

I am trying to get the client going first, and have selected KDE and am in the process of getting OpenOffice sorted out. I hope to convert an existing Excel application into a server component (written in java) and a client component (probably OO Calc with basic macros talking via some sort of SOAP implementation) Can I get some recommendations as to which install option I should choose for the client.

I myself had to read the chapter more then once before I fully understood it. Now I feel very comfortable using X. No expert but I feel very comfortable.

Checking your memory as already suggested is also a good idea. You can use the memory test located in /usr/ports/sysutils/memtest86 which is a great tool.

gpilotd headaches!?!?!
Hello all... I have been 'round n circles with this error message when I try to connect my palm with gnome palm pilot conduits.. The Application gpilotd has quit unexpectedly. then in the console... (gpilotd-control-applet:922): gpilotd-WARNING **: gnome-pilot-client.gob:819: Caught exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 I have installed everything on this 5.2.1 box from ports after a cvs-up. I even tried 4.10 with no luck. I am using: evolution-1.4.6_1 gnomepilot2-2.0.10_2 libIDL-0.8.3_2 pilot-link-0.11.8_3 ORBit2-2.10.3 ORBit-0.5.17_2 gob2-2.0.8 I have seen other people with this error, but I haven't seen anyone who fixed it. I can get pilot-link to work with 5.2.1, but gpilotd still crashes. Maybe there is a way to sync evo directly with pilot-link?? Any suggestions would be helpful because I have been working on this for a week.

On Wednesday 21 July 2004 09:47 am, you wrote: OK, I appreciate your time. let's say if i sync my source code once a week, but do i have to the build world once a week too? or it is only where there is a big process. what about there is only one new patch? also is there any package or command that i can run to see if there are new version of my installed packages on ftp site, as i said like 2.x and then 2.y, in red hat there is a new tool adopted from debian, you run apt-get update, it does scan ftp repositories, then you run apt-get dist-upgrade and it shows you that there are a,b,c new packages and asks you if you want to upate to new one and if you say yes, it does download and install auto, this is what i actually was asking thank you as i ask too much I cvsup changes on a weekly or monthly basis; or when I hear of a security patch that affects my system. I do not recompile the system or any applications unless I have a reason to do so. Sometimes, I can go months without recompiling or upgrading anything. The fact that a newer version of an application is released, doesn't mean that the older version is obsolete or unsecure. If the changes do not affect how YOU use your computer, you can spend lots of time upgrading for NO benefit! You also assume risks associated with upgrades for no benefit! As the saying goes: If it isn't broken, don't fix it. After you cvsup the ports system, you can use portupgrade to: 1. Run a report showing which installed applications have newer versions. 2. Upgrade an application, all of its dependencies, and all of the ports that depend upon it. Therefore, if application X depends on application Y, which, in turn, depends on application Z; 'portupgrade -rR Y' will upgrade applications X, Y and Z. 'portupgrade -arR' will upgrade all installed ports to newer versions, where applicable. For more information on ports and portupgrade (and FreeBSD in general), see related articles at: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/13 After you've installed portupgrade, see: man portupgrade Best of luck, Andrew Gould ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

downloadable location of old FreeBSD packages
Hi, I am hunting around for mpd package for FreeBSD 4.6 I have tried version mpd-3.14 for FreeBSD 4.7, but get this error when trying to run it: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol _shadow_DES_check_key referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/local/sbin/mpd I have also tried version mpd-3.15 as well, but get the same results. This is a remote server, running on a busy modem, so I don't really want to try and upgrade to the latest ports tree. Also the latest apparently requires OpenSSL, and hence OpenSSH, and buy, I don't want to stuff that upgrade up. I can't afford the drive. So, does any one have mpd-3.13 (I presume it came with FreeBSD 4.6) or a URL where I can download. Oh, yes, I tried the FreeBSD 4.6 CD 1, but it's not on there.

Compaq Prolian CL380 Array Controller CR3500 Problems: Any Suggestions Please
Dear List members, I run freebsd 4.10 on a proliant cl380 server. I split the nodes and do not use them as a clustered server. I created a /Data dir for the primary node using the accompnying SCSI array (RAID 5) with controller CR3500. I configured the controller and created the array using Compaq Array Utility software . The machine ran perfectly for more than 60 days until a power outage resulted into the box not booting up properly. I was able to get the server to boot but accessing the SCSI array is impossible. The following are logs from the system The machine runs and but I can not use the /Data directory.

Firewall, OpenVPN and Squid question
Hi everyone, I am relatively new to the Unix world, have setup a couple TINYDNS server and a postfix relay server, so that is the extent of my FreeBSD knowledge. I have 2 Microsoft ISA servers in a BACK to BACK configuration providing a DMZ in-between that I would like to get rid of, way more trouble than what they are worth. They work well for about a month and then the performance goes south. There are 3 remote sites connecting to our network using GATEWAY to GATEWAY VPN and around 25 remote VPN users that must be dealt with also. Last item, there is a chance that I will have to connect 3 more remote sites into the picture within the next 6 months, so this needs to be scalable to handle the load.. My question is, what is the best way to set this up. Here are my thoughts, but not sure what is the best way. * Setup one FreeBSD box that contains FIREWALL, SQUID and OPENVPN or * Setup 3 separate boxes to break up the work load. Many thanks in advance for being patient with what I am sure is stupid beginner questions to most of you. When giving your choice of which setup, please point me in the direction of the best resource to put it all together and the hardware requirement you would recommend. I have a truck load of PII 300 - 450's due to upgrades, so if I can use them great, if not, time to go on a spending spree.

At the ISP I am currently working full time for, we recently deployed an ipfw bridge configured firewall (internally) to protect our core servers from improper access. There's 8 servers in all (mail, web, mysql, ftp, radius, ssh and dns). We have about 6000 users, and the FBSD firewall never ever hiccup'ed. I could even run tcpdump for hours, and it would rarely ever drop even a single packet. Sounds like a good setup you are planning. I would set it up, implement it (with the old setup on standby), and if you find performance problems, pull the drive out of the P3 and do as you say, go on a 'spending spree', and put the drive directly into a p4 with a gig of memory, and drop it back in place. Please note that natd is NOT running on the ISP firewall, but on the other such setup it is, and Ive never seen any performance problems at all.

When rebuilding the index after cvsup-ing the ports collection I get lots and lots of these lines: /usr/ports/INDEX-5:11379:Port info line must consist of 10 fields. This from a 15 min old port collection. The same happened earlier today (which is why I retried just now). Is this a local problem, or is the collection borken. Is there anything I could do locally?

RE: Firewall, OpenVPN and Squid question
We have about 6000 users, and the FBSD firewall never ever hiccup'ed. I could even run tcpdump for hours, and it would rarely ever drop even a single packet. What size hardware is your firewall running on to handle the potential of 6000 users accessing your internal servers for mail, etc... The best I can come up with is a P4 1.8Ghz with 768MB memory, other than that I have PII's with around 384MB memory. I would have to assume the Squid server would be the best place for the P4? This one is a P4 2.0 Ghz with 1024M memory. I'd try the P3 as the firewall and the P4 as the squid server initially (all things considered so far). Sounds like a good setup you are planning. I would set it up, implement it (with the old setup on standby), and if you find performance problems, pull the drive out of the P3 and do as you say, go on a 'spending spree', and put the drive directly into a p4 with a gig of memory, and drop it back in place. Okay, the tough question, due you know of any good resources that I can use to put this together. Any pitfalls that I might want to think about in this design? Well, searching ipfw+natd+howto in google is a great place to start. I did not use one single definitive guide, I used a variety of sources, man pages, sample rules, and finally conjured up what works for us. In planning rules, I placed each openvpn connections rules in it's own ruleset, as to allow a reload of each connections rules individually if they needed to be changed. I also would set up a 'fwd' rule, to forward all packets destined to ``any 80'' from the Internal net to be passed directly to the squid box, as then you would have a transparent proxy. This will prevent you from having to change browser settings. Please note that natd is NOT running on the ISP firewall, but on the other such setup it is, and Ive never seen any performance problems at all. I am assuming that I will have to use NATD on the firewall in this scenario, am I thinking right here? It appears so, yes. natd(8) is quite flexible, and will allow you to many things, including port forward etc. By the sounds of it, you are planning on ridding yourself of a DMZ, which means your mail(etc) servers will be behind the NAT router. natd will take care of this, however, another option is to put in a third NIC into the box, connect it to a switch, plug in the servers into the switch. Give each server it's own IP, and route packets as nessicary to the servers. Effectively, this will still allow you to keep your DMZ, but eliminating one entire firewall server, and thus, one license of MS ISA server (and the headaches that comes with it :o) Sounds like you'll want to do some testing in a lab first. Hopefully all your P3's you have available are still loaded with Windows so you can test effectively and ensure everything works properly.

It is possible to eliminate these tasks, and I have even done setups where everything was flashed onto a CF card (ro) (obviously w/o logging capabilities).

Doesn't the term MFC refer to a change or new feature that has already been added to -CURRENT, and is under consideration for being backported to -STABLE because the change is important, of general interest and utility, etc? If the question is when should new features not be merged back into 4.x, my response would be that should happen after 5.x is tagged as -STABLE and 5.x is being actively recommended for to all users including newbies, not just early adopters. If the concern is is it better to spend time trying to get 5.x -STABLE then it is to spend time on 4.x, well, that makes perfect sense to me. -- -Chuck PS: What does not make much sense is 'releasing' a 'new version' of software which is not intended for the end userbase to actually use. Attempting to reduce the scope of problems with a .0 release is a noble goal, but good intentions can be taken too far. If a user asks what version should I run and the answer isn't the latest release, well, that indicates a problem. If a release candidate isn't expected to be better than the prior numerical version for the end users, then the release candidate isn't ready. Perhaps I'm drifting off-topic a bit, but I remember administering Sun machines during the transition from SunOS 4.1.x to what marketting called Solaris 2.x. Sun didn't do itself or anyone else a favor with SunOS 5.0 through about 5.5; it wasn't until Solaris 2.5.1/SunOS 5.5.1 that Sun's customers got something significantly better than a .0 release, or (perhaps arguably) better than the prior major version. That really sucked, people, so please excuse my vehemence. [ Or don't.

This is probably due to what you describe above. That's right, 4.10 is the latest -STABLE release. What does RELEASE mean, as specifically as you can? RELEASE refers to a specific version of the system which has gone through the release engineering process described at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html I'm using 5.2.1-RELEASE and am not planning on going 4.10-STABLE, as I can't due to hardware, and it's not a big deal as this isn't for production. But I'm curious ... is RELEASE supposed to be the *most* preferable candidate for someone considering a production OS, but just at this time, 5.x hasn't settled down? End users are expected to install releases rather than daily snapshots from -STABLE or -CURRENT, yes. Releases are published as .iso images and resold by FreeBSD distributors on CDs. If it had settled down, would would the most preferable production snapshot in 5.x-STABLE be called RELEASE? If 5.x had settled down, 5.x would now be -STABLE, and the latest RELEASE of 5.x (currently 5.2.1) would be the most preferable version for end-users to run. And is this not the case now because 5.x is taking longer than it should, so RELEASE is there, even if perhaps it shouldn't be? Thats about what I feel, yes. My opinion is that the current level of effort to stabilize 5.x should have happened around the 5.0 to 5.1 transition, rather than now at the 5.2 to 5.3 transition. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Audio CD burning shouldnt be this difficult!
Edd [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Audio CD burning shouldnt be this difficult! I think I have fundamentally gone wrong here! I have eight raw tracks that I wish to burn to ATAPI cd. I am using burncd. First I did: burncd -s max audio * fixate However I got gaps inbetween tracks so i tried: burncd -s max -d -n audio * fixate There are now no gaps, but track markers are in the wrong place (perhaps 4 or 5 seconds out in some cases) What am i doing wrong? I dont want to have to use a windows box to do this. Have you got a relatively up-to-date version of FreeBSD? [You didn't mention the version.] I used to have problems with track markers being too far into the track, but eventually those problems were fixed. In the meantime, I used cdrecord (with ATAPICAM), which didn't exhibit the same issue. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Firewall, OpenVPN and Squid question
From: Steve Bertrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have around 100 users at our site that would require the use of squid, we house are own webserver, mail server, public DNS servers in the DMZ and 2 private DNS servers on the internal network, used by both Internal and VPN users. Sites connecting Gateway to Gateway, there are apprx as follows; Site 1 - 25 users Site 2 - 5 users Site 3 - 12 users Our site VPN users are Apprx 25, and about 50% of them are connected at any given time. My first thought is to put up a Firewall box that can the load of publishing many internal boxes and publish a box with OpenVPN and another for SQUID and just keep them all separate. Will this setup put to much strain on the FIREWALL box or will it have no problem handling the NAT/ROUTING in this configuration. Thanks in advance Paul Considering that many of the current hardware firewall solutions aren't much more than either a BSD or Linux kernel in a ROM chip, with a 486 or 586 based cpu, memory, and a nice gui (Windows or Internal Web nterface), I can't see why a similar system on a PC would be any different. I would have to guess if a hardware firewall like Watchguard that offers VPN also, that it would have to be beefer than that. Steve going back to your initial response about the PIII 800MHz network, are you using a proxy for the internal users or are they connecting directly to the firewall as their only means of getting out? It seems most hardware firewalls do not include a proxy server, just NAT/VPN, which in this case the proxy would be on a separate internal machine anyway. Comment about the ISA Server setup, which I actually like and not sure if I can pull off the same type of setup with FreeBSD. The setup is like this: External ISA Server (not actual ips)ISP / 10.10.10.6 | |- Postfix Relay Server10.10.10.5 |- TinyDNS for internet publishing 10.10.10.4 |- TinyDNS for internet publishing 10.10.10.3 |- Webserver 10.10.10.2 | |- Internal ISA Server 10.10.10.1 / 10.0.0.1 | |- Exchange Server 10.0.0.2 |- TinyDNS internal publishing 10.0.0.3 |- TinyDNS internal publishing 10.0.0.4 |- Rest of internal servers and network etc... External sites are actually creating a VPN tunnel with a VPN tunnel and it works good, but the ISA Server gets to flaky after about a month of use. I have rebuilt them more than ever thought I would. At this point I will be happy to just get the firewall and VPN to work, but I like the additional layer someone would have to break through in the above scenario. Yes, but take into consideration disk reads/writes. It is possible to eliminate these tasks, and I have even done setups where everything was flashed onto a CF card (ro) (obviously w/o logging capabilities). I did a custom build, frequently referring to: http://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html and put the system on an IDE-CF card converter.

Applications starting problem (from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/) after upgrade
Definition of the problem: Installed applications daemons which have their startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ are not starting during system boot as they should. Description of the problem: I had very good working server at FBSD 5.2.1 with several applications (such as apache2, mysql, pureftpd, postfix, saslauth) and I have upgraded it one day, due to security advisories of FBSD developers, and application advisories due to portaudit advisories. Buildworld and whole process of upgrading system from cvsup goes well, portupgrade of applications also. And after that I discovered, that upgraded applications does not start during system boot. I chcecked my srcipts permissions (fine), same scripts (fine too - if I run any script from commandline after the system start, it boots the proper daemon nicely) and config files of applications (fine too). After that I started to read forums, and google, then find out that daemons now needs declarations in /etc/rc.conf so I added them. Still nothing. I finished with that I added the scripts at the end of the only starting script which is apache2 script, but this is *NOT* proper solution, even if daemons are working. Can *anybody* give me *any* hint/tip or tell me what I did wrong? Im fightng with that for almost two weeks right now, and that affects all 3 of my machines.

Re: Applications starting problem (from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/) afterupgrade
The only daemon (called application somwhere in my mail) that starts normally during system boot is apache2. Rest of them does not boot normally, but if I add them (I mean 'them' == the full path to their starting scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/) to the end of apache`s script, then they are starting.. r. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Firewall, OpenVPN and Squid question
I would have to guess if a hardware firewall like Watchguard that offers VPN also, that it would have to be beefer than that. Steve going back to your initial response about the PIII 800MHz network, are you using a proxy for the internal users or are they connecting directly to the firewall as their only means of getting out? [At the main site] (Selected) users go to a content filter (squid+dansguardian) and it goes out to the net (through the fw). The content filter has a private IP, and in itself, it is protected with it's own localized ipfw rules for protection. The rest of the clients go directly through the pipe unrestricted through the firewall to the net. (I know I shouldn't do this with our own proxy, but that's how it is for now). It seems most hardware firewalls do not include a proxy server, just NAT/VPN, which in this case the proxy would be on a separate internal machine anyway. Depends. I once used a Nortel dial-up NAT router box that had it's own built in web cache. Very small cache mind you, but it worked ok, especially on a 26.4Kb link. Comment about the ISA Server setup, which I actually like and not sure if I can pull off the same type of setup with FreeBSD. The setup is like this: Yes, you can. Either with 2 BSD boxes replacing the ISA boxen, or with one BSD box configured with 3 NIC's -- 1 for Internet connection, 1 for Internal LAN, and the other from the DMZ. The DMZ NIC can have all sorts of good rules applied to it, and the internal net can be absolutely cut off for inbound traffic except for the VPN's.
