Samba / Firewall / PopTop (VPN)
Hello The following situation: 1 FreeBSD 4.6 Server. There is running IPFW, Samba and PopTop (for VPN, MS CHAPv2). In the lan behind there is running a M$ fileserver. I can access from the Internet to the above FreeBSD server with encryption and also to the file server with Win9x and Win NT clients. For this I had to open the ports 137-139 (UDP and IP).

After compiliing the kernel....
Hello, On FreeBSD 4.7 I recompiled the kernel. Basicly all I did was to remove devices and options that were regarding hardware I do not have (i.e. SCSI controllers, tape drives, USB controllers etc.). Now everything works fine, except some error messages i get when booting. As I have figured it out, the errors are simply there because the kernel does not support them anymore. How can I do it to stop the system from looking for those devices? Here is a sample of dmesg after booting: config di pcic0 No such device: pcic0 Invalid command or syntax. Type '?' for help config di sn0 config di lnc0 ... ... config di bt0 No such device bt0 Invalid command or syntax. Type '?' for help config di aic0 No such device bt0 Invalid command or syntax.

Tiger MPX and mbmon
Hello all, I'm using mbmon 2.00 (not available in the ports yet) and I'm getting mixed results partnering it with a Tyan Tiger MPX 2466-4M with 2 Athlon MP 1800+. The kernel does not support neither one of the Winbond chips (W83627HF W83782D) used on this board hence the use of mbmon. mbmon specifies that the W83627HF uses the ISA I/O ports while the other one uses the SMBus direct access. My setup detected fine only the W83627HF but not at all the W83782D. However it detects the first one using the SMBus not the ISA I/o as per the README says. As a result, I can't get accurate readings of my temperature, the results are all mixed up, some of the temps supposedly applicable to the latter chip turned out in the reading. There's only one displayed; the one with the W83627HF chip, the other chip's reading went missing, presumably because it wasn't detected in the first place. Has someone encounter this strange occurence yet? Here's the spec from the README --- [Note] From the present version the special treatment of Tyan's dual CPU motherboard, TigerMP/MPX is supported. This motherboard has two sensor chips, and one has to enable the second one. In order to attach and enable the second sensor, one has to use a Tyan specific option(-Y for mbmon, -TyanTigerMP for xmbmon). Then the first sensor is accessed through SMBus and the second one through ISA IO. Here the values are the followings: 1st sensor (SMBus, W83782D) temp0 VRM2 temperature temp1 CPU1 temperature temp2 CPU2 temperature Vcore0 CPU1 Vcore Vcore1 CPU2 Vcore Volt 0 AGP voltage Volt 1 system 5V Volt 2 DDR voltage Volt 3 - Volt 4 standby 3.3V 2nd sensor (ISA IO, W83627HF) temp0 VRM1 temperature temp1 AGP temperature temp2 DDR temperature Vcore0 CPU1 Vcore Vcore1 CPU2 Vcore Volt 0 system 3.3V Volt 1 system 5V Volt 2 system 12V Volt 3 system -12V Volt 4 - --- Here's my mbmon -d output.

Re: DUMP
Hi again all, Thanks for all the insight! I take it we could DUMP each filesystem individually, then simply RESTORE it to a new machine, as long as the filesystem exists and is big enough. Yup. That is it. Make up the file systems on the new machine and restore in to each of them. Note, that when you do the restores, you must cd in to the filesystem where you want the restore to go. Don't just do it from root. The mount point (eg '/' for root, '/home' for the /home file system if you have that, etc) is removed from the path by dump. Can we DUMP all filesystems from one machine in one file then restore it? Not really. DUMP goes by file system. You could put them all on one tape if you are using tape - just sequentially one file after the other. jerry -Grant To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

XFree86 fonts
Can I install both Type1 and TrueType fonts? Can I install multiple packages for each (Type1 and TrueType)? I have XFree86 4.2.1 from new install of FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. When describing installing TrueType fonts, the handbook is confusing, it says: XFree86 4.X has built in support for rendering TrueType fonts. There are two different modules that can enable this functionality. The freetype module is used in this example because it is more consistent with the other font rendering back-ends. To enable the freetype module just add the following line to the Module section of the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Load freetype *** is that all for XFree86 4.x? The handbook then goes on to add: For XFree86 3.3.X, a separate TrueType font server is needed. Xfstt is commonly used for this purpose. To install Xfstt, simply install the port x11-servers/Xfstt. *** well, that doesn't apply to me, but the handbood goes on! and *** therein lies my question: do these folowing paragraphs (which I *** have included below) apply to 3.3.x or to BOTH 3.3.x *and* 4.x? Now make a directory for the TrueType fonts (for example, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType) and copy all of the TrueType fonts into this directory. Keep in mind that TrueType fonts cannot be directly taken from a Macintosh; they must be in Unix/DOS/Windows format for use by XFree86. Once the files have been copied into this directory, use ttmkfdir to create a fonts.dir file, so that the X font renderer knows that these new files have been installed. ttmkfdir is available from the FreeBSD Ports Collection as x11-fonts/ttmkfdir. # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType # ttmkfdir fonts.dir Now add the TrueType directory to the font path. This is just the same as described above for Type1 fonts, that is, use % xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType % xset fp rehash or add a FontPath line to the XF86Config file.

Re: having trouble setting up X on Fbsd 4.7 w/ ATI Mach6
I had the same problem. 'ati' is not listed, so I used the default/vga. When I finished the install, startx failed. I did some rearch at www.XFree86.org and found that I needed to enter 'ati' for that parameter (I think on that screen, the driver defaulted to 'ati' and it was asking for a chipset??) so both driver and chipset needs to be 'ati' -- if you enter 'mach64', you loose some functionality. Note: as you mention, nether 'ati' or 'mach64' are options. Because I didn't do it during install, I can't tell you 100% that you should enter 'ati' during the install, but you can get more info at www.XFree86.org, or edit the XFConfig86 file after the install like I did. Using 'ati' might also help with modeline, I'm not sure. Modeline worked ok for me. John (c) Copyright 2002 John Daniels. All rights reserved. _ Get a speedy connection with MSN Broadband.

If you've recently made any hardware modifications to the box, especially adding extra new bits, then that's a distinct possibility. However, much more likely is that your hard drive is developing a fault. Moving parts wear out, and hard drives can be quite fragile, especially if they have been used heavily or are running at high temperature. (If you've maxed out an ordinary tower case with hard drives, then you really should think about adding extra fans to improve the air flow. Server class or rack mount kit is usually designed to cope with the extra drives already.) First of all, make sure you have good backups. That disk could give up the ghost at any moment. Make sure the machine is adequately ventilated, that all the fans are working and that any vents are not clogged with dust. If that doesn't make things any better, it's time to get out the screwdrivers and start swapping out the suspect components.

FreeBSD Install question

I have installed a small DOS partition and can access my FreeBSD CD-ROM, is there any way to invoke the install from within DOS. (RedHat has a batch file on the CD-ROM that allows the installer to launch, is there anything I can use to do this for FreeBSD?)

scsi external tape
I am running 4.7 and using an adaptec 2940 PCI card. I have a HP external scsi tape drive. While this all works, I noticed the following: Unless the tape drive is connected to the scsi bus and TURNED on, when I boot the machine it will not allow me to later use any tape commands. It returns device not configured. Is this normal? I thought that I would be able to simply connect up the tape drive and power it up whenever I wanted and leave it off and disconnected when not in use. What am i missing? -- J.D.

You have used biff(1) or mesg(1) in a startup file that is run if ($?prompt) then stty erase ^? endif Note the stty statement appended in the middle of the stock (skel) .cshrc. I added it at one point to fix backspace/delete problems for some terminal emulator. When I comment it out, the vi/fmt macro works nicely. Why is it problematic here though? Should this be done in, say, .login instead? It causes problems because .cshrc is also read by non-login csh shells. Add it to .login instead. Explicitly setting erase to ^? is not a good idea, since you are not doing this for just the problematic terminal emulator but for all types of terminals, but that's another story. Also, sort of related, how can I map ctrl-j to the fmt macro? I'm not sure. I rarely use /usr/bin/vi anymore. Giorgos.

You are allowing the queries to go *out*, but when the remote server's reply packets hit the firewall they have port 53 on the *source* address, not on the destination. So they don't match that rule anymore and are discarded. What you probably want instead is: ipfw add allow udp from any to any 53 keep-state Another point: you're not using the divert rule for natd, and I see you have NAT enabled in your rc.conf. This is likely to be a problem later (well, you'll just not have NAT). A very good resource for this is /etc/rc.firewall. Just try to follow what the CLIENT, SIMPLE and OPEN targets do, or even let them run, then output the generated ruleset and use it as the skeleton of your own ruleset. Another useful debugging tool is ipfw show - typed repeatedly to watch which counters increased and so to know which rules were hit. Once you get into stateful filtering, you'll want ipfw -d show. Having said that, good ol' tcpdump is always handy to have around. Just fire up tcpdump -ni XXX with XXX for your external interface and see what's going out and what's coming in. Once you start firewalling for a network, a tcpdump -ni III with III being the internal interface becomes useful as well, either in itself or in addition to the external-watching tcpdump. -- Dan Pelleg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

You are allowing the queries to go *out*, but when the remote server's reply packets hit the firewall they have port 53 on the *source* address, not on the destination. So they don't match that rule anymore and are discarded. What you probably want instead is: ipfw add allow udp from any to any 53 keep-state i changed this line. boots up fine. webserver, ssh, nfs, mail, etc. work. there's only one problem i noticed right off the bat - it looks like ftp users can authenticate fine, but when their ftp client tries to bring up a list of files in their ftp directories, it hangs at 'getting file list...' any ideas on how to fix? thanks redmond Another point: you're not using the divert rule for natd, and I see you have NAT enabled in your rc.conf. This is likely to be a problem later (well, you'll just not have NAT). A very good resource for this is /etc/rc.firewall. Just try to follow what the CLIENT, SIMPLE and OPEN targets do, or even let them run, then output the generated ruleset and use it as the skeleton of your own ruleset. Another useful debugging tool is ipfw show - typed repeatedly to watch which counters increased and so to know which rules were hit. Once you get into stateful filtering, you'll want ipfw -d show. Having said that, good ol' tcpdump is always handy to have around. Just fire up tcpdump -ni XXX with XXX for your external interface and see what's going out and what's coming in. Once you start firewalling for a network, a tcpdump -ni III with III being the internal interface becomes useful as well, either in itself or in addition to the external-watching tcpdump. -- Dan Pelleg -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9tK3rFNjun16SvHYRAnSNAJ9RPPcFelXQwS3R7ELFN+A8UdEWDwCgsJWS 3TUBFhcGrtRa9eCIrhrnv0w= =07L+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- msg05849/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Java on FreeBSD 4.5
Hi I am trying to set up Java on FreeBSD 4.5. I read through: http://www.freebsd.org/java/install.html But this didnt work for me. I found this: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/09/05/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=3 from the FreeBSD pages. But this doesnt work either. I get compilation errors as follows. Whats wrong? What did I do? I installed www/mozilla-headers also since that seemed to have npapi.h but that npapi.h was installed into /usr/X11R6/include/mozilla/plugin/ and so was never discovered.

Command line RM player??
Hi all. Just wondering if anyone knew if there was a command line player that played Real Media streaming files? I'm wanting to listen to some streaming media online via one of my machines, but I don't have enough horsepower on it to run Xwindows. So I need to setup a cheap sound card in it and some kind of command line media player that will play real media files. Anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks.

Re: Resolving hostname takes too long
I am not certain why resolving external names from that machine go slow, but the reason ssh and ftp connections to that machine may be taking a while to establish is that it does a reverse dns lookup (address resolution) on the clients connecting to it. You can speed this up by allowing dynamic DNS updates on your internal DNS server and setting up your DHCP server to perform the updates as it hands out IP addresses. man dhcpd man named man named.conf man dhcpd.conf Marco Radzinschi E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL IM: CrackedBoy Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.

It takes too long to resolve hostname; ranges between 15 to 30 secs. My box serves as a gateway and ipfw machine. Other machines on this network that connects to this machine don't exhibit this particular problem, resolving hostname is pretty quick. I've tried many things; amongst them putting an open firewall just to see if ipfw has anything to do with it; resolving still takes too much time. This machine also serves as a private name server but I doubt that would get in the way as I've disabled the private name server in resolv.conf; only pointing to my ISP name servers. I have another problem which I think is related. Establishing SSH and FTP sessions (the only traffics I tested) from another machine to this machine slow down to a crawl. Only after the establishments did everything ie: transferring files is running smooth. Before this everything is fast, connecting to my private FTP is blazingly fast, I did't even have the time to read the displayed log. Now when I'm doing it I can read and speak out loudly every single word while they are displaying. Even connecting to my ISP FTP server is quicker. Connecting is just too slow for convenience sake. Ditto SSH. I implement DHCP in addition to the name server which use UDP traffic *which* I think, after reading the pertinent man pages, *may* have something to do with UDP timeout or something like that. To change this default attribute, I'd have to edit a kernel variable through sysctl. How do I know the right variable? I'm really at a loss over this.

printing problems 4.7-stable
I cannot print in 4.7-stable...I do not think the problem is the driver but with how the kernel deals the parallel port. Which is odd, since it recognizes and configures it properly. Why I say this, is because I cannot even send # lptest /dev/lpt0 to the printer, as nothing happens. The printer is a winprinter boat anchor, which works well in linux using the same drivers (and on the same box). It is a HP820Cse using the pnm2ppa filter package setup via apsfilter. When I attempt to print I get an error message back pnm2ppa[405]: parm_iversion(): Unknown Printer version I've written the authors of the package and they made sure I had the right printer selected which I do. I've re-set the parallel port mode in the bios to spp...epp...ecp+eppnothing works so far.

in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote Alex Drummond thusly... ...if you install the perl5.8 port, the executable is called perl5.8.0 so as not to overwrite the perl which comes with FreeBSD). by default, the port perl is installed in /usr/local/bin (unless you change it) system perl in /usr/bin. so it's misleading to say that perl5.8.0 is named such not to overwrite existing version. perl5.8.0 would be a symlink to perl in /usr/local/bin. the port may additionally run (or advice one to run) use.perl program to create symbolic links from/to /usr/local/bin to/from /usr/bin for some of the perl related software. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Vinum - A Way to Create Without Losing Data?

Is this correct? Is there anyway to do it without destroying the data? I have one 80G archive drive and have filled it. I added another and would like to have both drives seen by the system as one 160G drive. Thanks for all of your responses. The (almost) full 80G archive drive does not contain any system files (just mp3s, video clips, etc.) and my additional 80G drive is new with no data. Thus, I've concluded that creating a vinum volume on the empty disk, copying the contents of the old to the new, and then adding the old disk to the vinum volume is the best way to go. Yes, that would work. Under these circumstances you could also use the trick I mentioned and then use growfs. But your method is probably preferable. This will be the first time I've ever attempted anything like this. Are there any common gotchas I should be careful to avoid? I *really* want to do this right the first time so I don't have to try and restore from the hundred or so CDs that contain backups. I can't think of anything in particular. You should certainly make sure that your Vinum volume is in good shape before adding the second disk. One of these days I'll get a tape drive... :) I sometimes wonder if that's worth the trouble. Cheap IDE disks are much faster and very much more reliable. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

nat + ipfw + adsl
I'm out of my house and into a flat now.. so I don't have access to cable anymore.. bit of a dud.. I'm onto the next best thing being adsl. I read one doco about what I want to do but thought I'd just throw it out here as well.. Basically I've already got a nice little firewall running the cable modem, with a nice tight little rule set. I've got PPPoE running fine under BSD now with my new ADSL provider however am curious if I can just plug in my current firewall and s/fxp0/tun0/g in appropriate places.. namely for nat and the ipfw rules.. I've grown quite accustomed to using ipfw and natd and would prefer to use it over ppp -nat and it's filtering rules.. No worries? Cheers, ajt.

upgrading problem
I have upgraded my box from 4.6-stable to 4.7-stable today. Everything seemed OK. When I ran the command uname -a,the system reported ...4.7-stable But when I ran the command man cat, at the end of the manual, the system reported FreeBSD 4.6. Why?

perl system vs. perl port, help please
Hi, I'm attempting to run an non-ported perl app that requires perl 5.6. (4.6-STABLE). I've installed perl 5.8 from ports, tested it, and issued the use.perl port command.

random reboots
We are experiencing random reboots on 4.7. Have seen other postings in here regarding this issue so it does not appear to be hardware related but have not seen a definitive answer to what is going on. No core dumps, etc. Please respond if you are having same problem. We are doing 4.7 on a test server running AMD 400 CPU and would like to goto 4.7 on production servers but with random reboots this is not feasible. As I said this has come up on questions before but still has not been fully addressed. Running newest Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, just can't up to 4.7 yet (was rebooting before any of the previous were upped,Apache, etc.) 4.6 was totally stable . Rebooting probs started after upping to 4.7 FBSD and are totally random. Thanks for any input.

Re: upgrading problem
The problem appears to be that the default result of .Os is still FreeBSD 4.6 according to man 7 mdoc, on my RELENG4 system cvsupped 10/18. mdoc.local 1.2.2.15 appears to define it that way. It appears that RELENG_4 should be using 1.2.2.15.2.1 instead, or another tag that will get 4.7 as the default. Ok, ok, I'll send the PR. :) On Mon, Oct 21, 2002 at 10:40:14PM -0700, Crist J.
