Creating a CUPS printer instance from web interface?
I would like to create named instances for an Epson printer. We are printing invoices on normal A4, photos on glossy photo paper, and draft papers (with draft quality). E.g. the paper size, margins and print quality changes from time to time. I have two problems. First, I do not see any way on the CUPS web admin interface to add printer instances. I only have 'set printer options' but it does not allow me to create instances. The other problem is that lpoptions lists the options, but I do not know their meaning and the possible values. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lpoptions media=A4 finishings=3 copies=1 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 number-up=1 auth-info-required=none job-sheets=none,none printer-info='EPSON Stylus Photo R265' printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1 printer-location printer-make-and-model='Epson Stylus Photo R265 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2 Simplified' printer-state=5 printer-state-change-time=1227085737 printer-state-reasons=paused printer-type=8556556 Which option is for printing quality? What are its possible values? It depends on the driver, and therefore it is not covered in the CUPS manual. The drivers themselves does not have a documentation. So where can I get this information?

I just ran a quick test, and was not able to reproduce this issue with
the mount_smbfs from FreeBSD 7.0. I tried against a Windows 2003
Server SP2, Windows XP SP3, and Samba 3.0 {on FreeBSD 7} with a 3.5GB
file.
Was your issue with reading from or writing to a SMB share ?
It was writing to a smb share.
What is the server software and OS version ?
(if Microsoft Windows, please include Service Pack number as well, as
it might make a difference)
Windows 2003 server 32bit.
How much disk space is left on your server volume ?
Over a terabyte free
Are there disk quotas enabled on the server ?
None
What error message are you getting from your FreeBSD client (if any) ?
No error message, it just stopped writing at 1 Gb. I was doing this using
scp.
Whoa, hopefully you just made a few typos here, or we are going down
the wrong path of investigation.
Did you really mean to say scp or cp ?
scp(1) - secure copy (remote file copy program)
cp(1)- copy files
If you really meant scp, then the problem is not mount_smbfs, but
instead likely a buggy scp client or server (which does not use smb
for transport, but ssh)
What is the exact byte count that your write stops at ? You
originally stated 2GB, then 1GB.
Can you check the smb server logs and see if you are getting any error
messages there ?
Well I'm just mounting the volume to FreeBSD from the Windows server so not
sure I'll find much in the logs besides the system log, but I will look.
You may want to get a Wireshark trace and see if you can capture the
SMB error message/error code.
I have heard of people running into similar problems when running
against older server software (NT 4.0/old samba) when the SMB session
did not negotiate large file/large write support (a function of the
SMB server capabilities session negotiation)
I saw posts to that effect and that you needed samba 3.x to support large
files sizes, and the lfs option. But the mount_smbfs doesn't offer any
large file option.
Only bother with this next bit if you are morbidly curious as to how
things work rather than just want to solve your problem, as it gets
into the nitty gritty details of smb:
mount_smbfs will allow for lfs (CAP_LARGE_FILE) automatically by
specifying it's dialect capabilities in the smb negotiation.
If you umount your smb share, then start a tcpdump you can capture the
smb negotiation Capabilities bitmask to see if CAP_LARGE_FILE is
being negotiated - the server specifies this capability. The client
just sends the dialects of smb supported.For example:
tcpdump -vvv -s 1500 -i em0 host server.example.com | grep Capabilities
{ where em0 is the network interface in use on FreeBSD and
server.example.com is the hostname/ip address of your smb server }
Then do a mount of the smb share (while tcpdump is running) and you
should capture the Capabilities negotiated.
For example:
Capabilities=0x1F3FD
If you decode the bitmask by using this reference :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302230.aspx {hint: only
look at the last four bytes of the Capabilities line (e.g. F3FD in my
example)} Or if you have kernel source installed, you can look in
/usr/src/sys/netsmb/smb.h for the details.
- Capabilities: 0x0001F3FD
RawMode:(...1) Supports
SMB_COM_READ_RAW and SMB_COM_WRITE_RAW (CAP_RAW_MODE)

RE: ZFS Recovery Tools
Hi, I was just reading stuff about ZFS, and wonder if it would be beneficial for me to use it. I store a lots of multimedia files in my HD, they usually have the size of 1GB (e.g. 1.2, 1.7 or even bigger), and my system is running UFS. so can I buy a new HD, say 500GB, and format it ZFS style and use it along with other UFS? and will ZFS performs better than UFS in my situation? Thank you!! Correct me if im wrong but zfs seems way to experimental and unstable according to what I have found on net so far. FYI - I decided to use UFS in mean while, but for those interested in why I say this... http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSKnownProblems I share other NB server roles with my file server and cannot afford lockups etc... Please anyone correct me if im wrong!

Jails and common ports
Cross-posting this to freebsd-ports because it's mostly about the ports infrastructure and how I might (ab)use it... I'm looking into setting up jails, and was hoping I was onto something with using ports to maintain application software but I hit a snag and I'm hoping someone can either tell me how to do what I want or at least say nope...you're on crack thinking that will work ;) I'm trying to set up a number of jails on my system following the handbook suggestions for Application of Jails (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-application.html). That means I have a master read-only instance for the base system (world), and read-write instances of key directories for each jail. This is ideal for what I'd like to do because I only have to do one world upgrade to upgrade all my jails. I'd like to extend that idea to a number of common ports. For instance, I'd like to have gettext, libtool, etc., installed once and be able to do a single portupgrade to update it for all jails. My initial plan was to make an /opt folder in the master filesystem and use the master jail to install ports (PREFIX=/opt and LOCALBASE=/opt). I added the /opt/bin and /opt/sbin to the path and /opt/lib to the ld_config directories for the child jails and they were indeed able to see the first couple of ports I installed. However, I started hitting issues with libtool and friends. The children would not find them, and would go ahead and start installing their own local copies of those ports. Turns out quite a few tools are defined in /usr/ports/Mk/* and are defined relative to LOCALBASE. If I leave LOCALBASE and PREFIX alone in the child jails so they'll use /usr/local for their specific ports, I can't recognize and use other ports like libtool installed in /opt; it doesn't seem right to set LOCALBASE in the child jails since I want them to use /usr/local for anything I haven't provided. I really would like to avoid the joy of making hard-links, etc., for all the files in the common packages, but I didn't see any way to override settings for these individual ports. I did edit some Makefiles and add '--prefix=/opt' to the CONFIGURE_ARGS for those ports, and everything worked fine, but I'd prefer to do it the right way (e.g. not editing Makefiles). Is there a variable I'm not seeing that would allow me to do this kind of crazy thing, or am I better off either setting up hard links and/or using automated package building and just repeating pkg_upgrades in each jail? If it's the latter, does someone know of a decent all-in-one doc to help me at least set up some features so I update ports once in a master and just get packages from the same place (I can piece it together myself from all the other docs I've found and been reading, but if someone has already written it up, hate to reinvent it myself :) ).

Instead, I hooked up a USB CDROM drive and tried to boot from it. This is when I got the scrolling digits problem. After asking about this problem on the forums, if I remember correctly, the answer seemed to be that booting from USB CDROM drive is not supported. My fix was to temporarily hook up an IDE CDROM drive and boot from that. I'm not sure what the situation with your laptop is. By the way, if you are installing a dual boot, wouldn't it make sense to shrink the Windows partition first to make more room on the hard drive, then add a new partition? There are tools that can shrink a Windows partition easily. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

install gamin in stead of fam
Dear Freebsd list, How would you solve the following task at hand? I would like to install gamin on my amd64 system running freebsd 6.3 in stead of fam, I've been using the latter since installing openoffice (on the net I found a guide saying I should put WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=fam in my /etc/make.conf) Which packages require fam is found by issuing the following command: pkg_info -R fam* gives: Information for fam-2.6.10_3: Required by: ImageMagick-6.4.5.5 ORBit2-2.14.14 Terminal-0.2.8.3 Thunar-0.9.3 at-spi-1.22.1_2 atk-1.22.0_1 avahi-0.6.23 avahi-app-0.6.23 bluefish-1.0.7_5 claws-mail-3.5.0_1 consolekit-0.2.10_3 dbus-glib-0.76 desktop-file-utils-0.15_1 dia-gnome-0.96.1_6,1 enchant-1.4.0_1 evolution-2.22.3.1 evolution-data-server-2.22.3_1 evolution-exchange-2.22.3 evolution-webcal-2.21.92_2 firefox-2.0.0.18,1 g-wrap-1.9.6_4,1 gail-1.22.3 gconf2-2.22.0_1 gdl-0.7.11_2 gdm-2.20.8 gdvrecv-1.2_4 gio-fam-backend-2.16.5 gnome-icon-theme-2.22.0_1 gnome-keyring-2.22.3_1 gnome-mount-0.8_2 gnome-spell-1.0.8_2 gnome-vfs-2.22.0_2 graphviz-2.20.3 gstreamer-0.10.21 gstreamer-plugins-0.10.21,3 gtk-2.12.11_1 gtk-engines2-2.14.3 gtk-xfce-engine-2.4.3 gtkhtml3-3.18.3 gtksourceview2-2.2.2 gtkspell-2.0.14 gvfs-0.2.5 hal-0.5.11_1 html2ps-letter-1.0.b5_1,1 inkscape-0.46_3 jdk-1.5.0.14p8_4,1 kdelibs-3.5.10 kmymoney2-0.8.9_2 libIDL-0.8.11 libbonobo-2.22.0_1 libbonoboui-2.22.0_2 libcroco-0.6.1_1 libexo-0.3.4_2 libgda3-3.0.4_1 libgksu-1.3.8_3 libgksuui-1.0.7_3 libglade2-2.6.3 libgnome-2.22.0_1 libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1_2 libgnomecups-0.2.3_1,1 libgnomeprint-2.18.4_2 libgnomeprintui-2.18.2_2 libgnomeui-2.22.1_2 libgsf-1.14.8_2 libgtkhtml-2.11.1_2 libnotify-0.4.4_2 liboobs-2.22.0_1 librsvg2-2.22.3 libsexy-0.1.11_1 libsoup-2.2.105_3 libsoup-2.4.1_1 libwnck-2.22.3 libwpd-0.8.14_1 libxfce4gui-4.4.3 libxfce4mcs-4.4.3 libxfce4util-4.4.3 libxklavier-3.5_2,1 linc-1.0.3_7 mousepad-0.2.14 notification-daemon-0.3.7_3 nvu-1.0_7 openoffice.org-3.0.0 orage-4.4.3 pango-1.20.5 pgadmin3-1.8.4 policykit-0.9_1 policykit-gnome-0.9 poppler-gtk-0.8.7 py25-dbus-0.83.0_1 py25-gobject-2.14.2_2 py25-gstreamer-0.10.12 py25-gtk-2.12.1_1 py25-orbit-2.14.3_1 py25-zenmap-4.76 shared-mime-info-0.51 swt-3.1.1_3 system-tools-backends-2.6.0_1 vte-0.16.14_1 wv2-0.2.3_2 wxgtk2-2.4.2_16 wxgtk2-2.6.3_5 wxgtk2-2.8.9 wxgtk2-common-2.6.3_4 wxgtk2-common-2.8.9 wxgtk2-contrib-common-2.6.3_3 wxgtk2-contrib-common-2.8.9 wxgtk2-unicode-2.6.3_5 wxgtk2-unicode-2.8.9 wxgtk2-unicode-contrib-2.6.3_3 wxgtk2-unicode-contrib-2.8.9 wxsvg-1.0.b7.2_2 xf86-input-acecad-1.2.1_1 xf86-input-calcomp-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-citron-2.2.1_1 xf86-input-digitaledge-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-dmc-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-dynapro-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-elo2300-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-elographics-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-fpit-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-hyperpen-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-jamstudio-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-joystick-1.2.3_1 xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2_2 xf86-input-magellan-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-magictouch-1.0.0.5_2 xf86-input-microtouch-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3_2 xf86-input-mutouch-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-palmax-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-penmount-1.2.1_1 xf86-input-spaceorb-1.1.1_1 xf86-input-summa-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-tek4957-1.1.0_1 xf86-input-void-1.1.1_1 xf86-video-apm-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-ark-0.6.0_2 xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 xf86-video-chips-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-cirrus-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-cyrix-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-dummy-0.2.0_2 xf86-video-fbdev-0.3.1_2 xf86-video-glint-1.1.1_4 xf86-video-i128-1.2.1_2 xf86-video-i740-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 xf86-video-imstt-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-mach64-6.8.0 xf86-video-mga-1.4.9,1 xf86-video-neomagic-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-newport-0.2.1_2 xf86-video-nsc-2.8.3_1 xf86-video-nv-2.1.12 xf86-video-r128-6.8.0 xf86-video-rendition-4.1.3_2 xf86-video-s3-0.5.0_2 xf86-video-s3virge-1.9.1_2 xf86-video-savage-2.1.3_1 xf86-video-siliconmotion-1.5.1_1 xf86-video-sis-0.10.0 xf86-video-tdfx-1.3.0_3 xf86-video-tga-1.1.0_2 xf86-video-trident-1.2.3_2 xf86-video-tseng-1.1.1_2 xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0_2 xf86-video-vga-4.1.0_2 xf86-video-via-0.2.2_3 xf86-video-vmware-10.15.2_1 xf86-video-voodoo-1.1.1_2 xfce-4.4.3 xfce4-appfinder-4.4.3 xfce4-desktop-4.4.3 xfce4-mcs-manager-4.4.3 xfce4-mcs-plugins-4.4.3 xfce4-mixer-4.4.3 xfce4-panel-4.4.3 xfce4-print-4.4.3 xfce4-session-4.4.3 xfce4-utils-4.4.3 xfce4-wm-4.4.3 xorg-7.3_2 xorg-drivers-7.3_3 xorg-server-1.4.2,1 zenity-2.22.1_1 The approaches I can think of are: 1) get rid of fam and everything that requires it with pkg_deinstall -R fam* , then adjust /etc/make.conf to have WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=gamin and reinstall all above packages one by one 2) write a shell script to automate all those steps above So my question boils down to this, am I on the good track? Are there other alternatives (or caveats) Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Wifi Card for laptop
Le 20/11/2008 à 11:35:20+0200, Giorgos Keramidas a écrit Hi, First thanks you for you help In fact I make the wifi run by using wpi driver. If you can find a PC-CARD (or `PCMCIA') that uses one of the supported chipsets, then just go for it. To see if the internal network interface card or wireless adapter work, you can try running: % pciconf -lv Save this to a text file: % pciconf -lv pciconf.txt Then you can use a USB flash drive to transfer the text file to a machine that has email connectivity and post it here. We can try to go through the list of devices and check hardware compatibility for you. If you do that, please include as much information as possible about the FreeBSD version you are using, and any other bits you think are useful to understand what hardware you are using (i.e. laptop model, laptop maker, the output of the ``uname -a'' command, and so on). But if I can help to make more hardware working on FreeBSD I would happy to do that so let's go: Hardware : Dell laptop Precision M6300 Running wihtout problem: touchpad X11 (using nv drivers but not the «official» because I'm running amd64 version). running but with some problem : wifi card : chipset 3945 drivers : wpi (compiling in kernel) problem : sometime the wifi go down (the AP is at 1m) and when I try to make that up again he don't work. If I try the keyboard touch (Fn+F2) that's can crash (reboot) the computer Find drivers but not running : sound.

Suggestions for PII 400 boot failure
Hi, A friend of mine is trying out FreeBSD and ran into a booting problem. Here is his message: Well, that's discouraging. I have put together an old PII 400 with three 20GB drives and a CDROM that I'd like to run BSD on. Half a GB of RAM I figured would be respectable. Downloaded the ISO files, burned CDs of them and when I try to run them it starts to boot and then freezes tighter than a muskrat's arse. Three lines coming on the screen and it ends with Starting the_ and just hangs. I've got a PIII 1000 here that I use as a file server and the boot disks run fine on that. Just won't boot off the PII 400. Weird. Really, really weird. I tried five different CDROMs in case it was the actual drive but same thing. I tried using version 6.3 instead of release 7.0 and same thing. That system doesn't like BSD/Linux whatever. I use GParted as a partition manager all the time which is bootable and same thing on that machine. It just don't like booting to that OS. Any suggestions?

Re: Suggestions for PII 400 boot failure

I have put together an old PII 400 with three 20GB drives and a CDROM that I'd like to run BSD on. Half a GB of RAM I figured would be respectable. Downloaded the ISO files, burned CDs of them and when I try to run them it starts to boot and then freezes tighter than a muskrat's arse. Three lines coming on the screen and it ends with Starting the_ and just hangs. I've got a PIII 1000 here that I use as a file server and the boot disks run fine on that. Just won't boot off the PII 400. Weird. Really, really weird. I tried five different CDROMs in case it was the actual drive but same thing.

Thanks Vinny Excerpt from Installers guide www.a1poweruser.com PC BIOS The first thing your PC does after being powered on or when rebooting is the motherboard BIOS ROM chip gets control and it interrogates all the hardware ports on the motherboard to determine what I/O devices are attached. This is called the POST process. As part of this POST process the user changeable BIOS values stored in a CMOS chip on the motherboard are read and used to configure the PC’s hardware. These BIOS values are changed using the BIOS setup utility. The most common BOIS chip in use today is manufactured by Award. If your PC does not use an Award BIOS chip then you have to read the manual that came with your PC for details. This summary screen information is very helpful in debugging FBSD hardware problems, because it tells you what your PC hardware is and how the IRQ numbers are assigned. IRQ stands for interrupt request. An interrupt is the doorway the I/O device uses to tell the CPU that it wants its turn at getting some processing cycles. This is how the CPU shares service time among all the devices attached to the motherboard. Starting Award BIOS setup utility During the power up/reboot POST process you will see in the lower left corner of the monitor screen the message ‘Press DEL to enter setup’. While this message is showing press the keyboard delete key and the Award BIOSs setup utility main menu displays on the screen. First time changes to PC BIOS Navigate around the menus using the keyboard arrow keys looking for the following options. Your PC BIOS may not have all of these. Virus Warning=, set this option to disable. It’s a firmware check of the hard drive boot sector looking for MS/Windows boot virus. This will stop FBSD booting from the install CDROM. plug-n-play=, set this option to disable. FBSD is not sensitive to Microsoft plug-n-play standard and may refuse to install, or cause PCI cards not to be found. Disable or set to auto any BIOS option to assign IRQ numbers to PCI expansion slots. Disable any ISA expansion slots. Operating system type=, set to ‘other’ or any Unix type of operating system, don’t set to MS/Windows. Disable all power management options. boot sequence=, set this option to (CDROM,C) Since you are installing FBSD from CDROM you must tell the PC what I/O device to boot from. Follow the BIOS menu instructions to save your changes and exit. The PC will reboot it self. Keep in mind that some older CDROM drives and older legacy PC BIOS do not support booting off CDROM. Generally with PCs manufactured after 1999 this is not a problem. If you do run into this, you have a really old PC and you will need to create boot floppies to boot from. This is outside the scope of this document. Please read the FBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html#INSTALL-FLOPPIES Legacy BIOS also are incompatible with the larger hard disk sizes and the faster 66 and 100 UDMA drives. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem about ppp -nat
Hi All, I have just subscribed to freebsd-questions and I have a question about ppp -nat. I have 2 computers. One is running FreeBSD-7.0R, the other is running WinXP. The host running FBSD7.0R has been connecting to the outside world using user-ppp without any problem for very long. Now I want to share internet access to the other host behind NAT through this FBSD host. My FBSD machine has 2 interfaces i.e. tun0 (connecting to ISP) with dynamic IP (of course) fxp0 (for internal LAN) with static IP of 192.168.1.10 My WinXP machine has 1 interface (internal LAN) with static IP of 192.168.1.11 Previously I have a router acting as a gateway for all machines behind NAT. But now I want FBSD machine to work as a gateway. I have never done this before. I tried some googling with reading ppp(8) and ipfw(8). And I tried masquerading but it didn't work. I have plenty configuration files. But the relevant configurations are listed here. /etc/rc.conf # enable IP forwarding gateway_enable=YES # previously I ran web-server, just disable it or comment it out, not sure why! #apache_enable=YES On the host running WinXP, I set its gateway and DNS server to the IP of ppp host i.e. 192.168.1.10. I then inserted the following line as the first rule in /etc/ipfw.rules. /sbin/ipfw add allow all from any to any via fxp0 (I know this rule is dangerous, but just for testing.) I then issue the ppp command. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ppp -background -nat myisp FBSD host (running ppp) can access anywhere but WinXP host can't. I learned from some site explaining that ppp itself has the capability of IP masquerading. And it does not require natd(8). So I don't mention about natd here. Anyone have a clue or who have done the correct configurations, please point me out. Thank you in advance.

Re: Jails and common ports
On Thursday 20 November 2008 23:33:30 Marcus I. Ryan wrote: However, I started hitting issues with libtool and friends. The children would not find them, and would go ahead and start installing their own local copies of those ports. Turns out quite a few tools are defined in /usr/ports/Mk/* and are defined relative to LOCALBASE. If I leave LOCALBASE and PREFIX alone in the child jails so they'll use /usr/local for their specific ports, I can't recognize and use other ports like libtool installed in /opt; it doesn't seem right to set LOCALBASE in the child jails since I want them to use /usr/local for anything I haven't provided. Yeah, I feel your pain. You can't really do this with ports that require libraries from other ports. The ports system was created with the assumption that LOCALBASE (and PREFIX) for one installation (one PKG_DBDIR) is the same. There are some exceptions, or rather, for some things it can work but libraries in general don't and libtool is even pickier. I only have bash-static, sudo and vim shared in /opt, as they are stand-alone and no ports I use depend on them. The only thing I can think of that would work for you, is to use unionfs for /usr/local. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyone have a clue or who have done the correct configurations, please point me out. Thank you in advance. Pongthep There are at least two ways that I know of to achieve this. One uses the ipfw firewall, the other the pf firewall. For the ipfw solution, look at the FreeBSD Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html This worked fine for me, although I prefer to use pf. Here is how I setup pf (Adjust for your interfaces as necessary) My Internet interface is rl0, setup in rc.conf as: ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 My local interface is rl1, setup in rc.conf as: ifconfig_rl1=inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 (I also have a defaultrouter setting which probably does not apply to you) I have nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf (or setup your own DNS server if you wish) Use this settings in rc.conf for pf: pf_enable=YES pflog_logfile=/var/log/pflog pflog_flags= pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf pf_flags= gateway_enable=YES Run: # sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 # /etc/rc.d/routing restart Add net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf so it persists reboots Add the following rule to /etc/pf.conf nat pass on rl0 from rl1:network to any - rl0 AFAIR, if rl0 has a dynamic address, you will have to write it with parentheses, like: nat pass on rl0 from rl1:network to any - (rl0) (Note that in /etc/pf.conf translation rules like the above, are placed above filtering rules like pass or block etc) You may have to adjust /etc/pf.conf filtering rules, assuming you have any. Restart some services # /etc/rc.d/netif restart # /etc/rc.d/routing restart # /etc/rc.d/pf restart or simply reboot, and you should be set. Note that in your client machine, you should set gateway to point to your FreeBSD machine, but unless you are running your own DNS server, DNS entries should point to your ISP. If you combine this setup with a DHCP server from the Ports Collection, you will have pretty much a standard home router out of a FreeBSD machine. There are also other capabilities, like port forwarding and so on, but I'll let you figure them out yourself ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
