port forwarding/natd...multiple IPs
Hello, I got port forwarding to work with one IP, but lets say I have several IP's: natd -n fxp0 -redirect_port 192.168.1.1:25 50 - this works as it connects me to my smtp server if I go to port 50. But as soon as I have several IP's: 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.11 192.168.1.12 192.168.1.13 etc. That port forwards only if I connect to 192.168.1.1:50 but connecting to any alias IP it won't do a port forward. -- Be security conscious -- National defense is at stake. ---FreeBSD The Power To Serve--- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Sir, Naturally this mail will come to you as a surprise,but do not like at it as a scam rather I will want you to look at it as a something serious and consideration should be taken immediateley. If I may crave your indulgence,Im MR.WILLIAM NDLOVU ,the first son of DAVID NDLOVU, the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was recectly murdered in the land dispute in my country.I APOLOGISE FOR INVADING YOUR PRIVACY, BUT PLEASE,I appeal to you to exercise a little patience and read through my letter, and I guarantee you will not have wasted your time. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.5 Million (Eight Million, Five Hundred United States dollars)in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers.And this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands leaving my family back in South Africa where I am seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account.Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family,all I want you to do for me,is to arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place e.g change of ownership to the consignment and This money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 15% of the money while the remaining 80% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with throught my E-mail while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks and remain blessed, Yours Faithfully, Ndlovu William.

My home machine has gone from FreeBSD 2.2.8 to 4.7 without reinstall, and I disconnected the monitor and keyboard somewhere around 3.3. An upgrade consists of the following commands: 'cvsup -g -L2 stable-supfile cd /usr/src/ make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=whatever make installkernel KERNCONF=whatever make installworld reboot' Theoretically you could just paste those lines into a shellscript, make a crontab entry and be done, but I do recommend that you add some error checking and maybe some interaction with the user. Of course, this should _not_ be used on production or otherwise heavy loaded machines. Doing install in single user is recomended, but a box with very low loads will probably do it just fine running multi user. Ive used this method for years (allthough not added to cron but started manually when I think it's needed) and it has only failed me once. When going from 4.6 to 4.7 I had to do a reboot between installkernel and installworld, or the system would fail with a lot of weird memory errors. Luckily, I always update my testmachine first, so when the time came to update the real machine I was aware of this and avoided the problem. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Shouldnt the new_fd be distinct everytime a new client

I don't clearly understand your question, especially if you
read Stevens books, but I'll try to answer.
new_fd variable is just overwritten each time accept() returns a new
socket descriptor for a new connection. If you need to keep connections
with all clients at the same time in a single server, so, you need to
save each new_fd descriptor in an array, for example.
If you fork() a new process for handling a new connection, then you need
to close() new_fd descriptor in the server and use new_fd descriptor in
the forked process.
In any way, it is better to ask such questions in comp.unix.programmer
news group.

The RAID array is now NTFS and the other 2 are chopped into NTFS, fat16 and FreeBSD. I could add another 4gb to FreeBSD - but how? I am not too enthusiastic about reinstalling everything. I just updated to FBSD 4.7 and need to add space to install openofice. The easiest thing to do is probably to use some or all of the available 4Gb as a new filesystem mounted under /usr. For instance, /usr/local might be a good choice. You need to copy the current contents of /usr/local onto the new partition, move the old /usr/local aside somewhere and mount the new one in it's place: Assuming the disk partition where you have space is /dev/da2s2 something like the following (in single user mode): mount -a fdisk -i da2[ Mark slice 2 as belonging to FreeBSD ] disklabel -e da2s2 [ Create a 4.2BSD partition /dev/da2s2e, say ] newfs /dev/da2s2e mkdir /usr/local.new mount -t ufs /dev/da2s2e /usr/local.new rsync -avx /usr/local/ /usr/local.new/ [ rsync(1) is only one way to copy the whole directory tree over. Obviously, you need to install ports/net/rsync before dropping to single user... Another alternative might be: cd /usr/local ; tar -cf - . | ( cd /usr/local.new ; tar -xvpf - ) or there are similar methods using find+cpio, dump+restore etc.] umount /usr/local.new mv /usr/local /usr/local.old mkdir /usr/local mount -t ufs /dev/da2s2e /usr/local diff -ur /usr/local.old /usr/local [ make sure everything copied OK etc. ] vi /etc/fstab [ add /dev/da2s2e to standard mounts ] reboot Now, when the system comes back up multiuser you should have a separate /usr/local partition containing the same files as the original /usr/local directory. Once you're satisfied that everything has gone according to plan you can delete /usr/local.old and make merry in the extra space that becomes available.

logging question
Hi, I'm thinking of making a logging setup in my network. My plan is to send the logs of all the servers to a central logging box (FreeBSD), which keeps a local copy of them. I know how to do this, but I want to add something to this. I want that central logging box to send the logs to the serial port to which I have hooked up another box (also FreeBSD) which reads and stores the logs which are being sent to it through the serial port but doesnt send any data back so there is no possibility to get access to that box without being local to it. Can I send the logs by sending them to /dev/sio0 with syslog? And what about the catching, can I let that be done by a logging daemon which sorts it the way I want to.

At first I tried with PPP's builtin NAT, and when that failed I switched to natd. I did google searches and even searched the FreeBSD list archives but did not find any help. /etc/natd.conf looks like this (private IP removed) : interface tun0 port 8668 use_sockets yes dynamic yes redirect_port tcp MY_PRIVATE_IP:8080 8080 /etc/rc.conf has this : firewall_type=SIMPLE firewall_enable=YES firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall firewall_quiet=NO natd_enable=YES natd_program=/sbin/natd natd_interface=tun0 natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf My firewall does not have much changed from the SIMPLE template. I allow a few incoming connections including ports 80, 443, 53, 110 and the port I want to foward back to my webcam : 8080. nat itself works fine (machines behind the FW can surf and such) but the port forwarding is not working. I tried adding a rule 50 to allow everything on the ipfw, and that didn't work. Then I thought maybe the 'allow all' should do right after the divert to natd so I deleted 50 and added the add all rule right after divert. Still nothing! I'm testing by VPN'ing into work, VNC'ing into my desktop, and trying to connect back from there. Help! What's up? Oh, FreeBSD 4.5 release (stable, whatever it's called, I don't much around with beta stuff) cheers, -Alan -- http://www.bodensatz.com/ The Beer Site To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

What does `ipfw -a l` show? That seems to be the same as ipfw show, which I used to determine that there do not seem to be any 'deny' rules hit. So I cannot really tell where those packets are going. I can hit my port 80 from work no problem (www.bodensatz.com), but 8080 no deal. So it seems to be going through some allow rule, but I'm not sure which. Also, my 'allow 8080 setup' rule was after the divert but with the public IP number, so I added an equivalent one with the private address of my interal PC. i.e. 013500 0 allow tcp from any to PC_WITH_CAM 8080 setup 055500 0 allow tcp from any to 207.164.198.56 8080 setup I put the private IP rule right after the divert just in case. gah! -- http://www.bodensatz.com/ The Beer Site To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I was hoping someone on this list might have real data/reasons to use one or the other. Valid concerns are: security, compatibility, stability, flexibility, support, etc. Some concerns I have with Linux are the variety of distros available for Linux, even if clients are using it, which ones are they using, etc. Also, I am naturally biased to FreeBSD because I have used it for quite a while. i feel i have to be the voice of disent here. personally i feel that a router is made to route packets, if cost is an issue then go with a FreeBSD box, but if you can spend a few dollars, get something that was designed to route packets. first of all your concern with the cisco's routers are unfounded. your friend can get a 2620 which has 1 100bT port and a 2621 which has two. Cisco routers are not limited to 10bT connections. even 1700-series routers allow have 100bT ports. you'll find some decent deals on ebay, and cisco support is second to none. as for your DMZ... i doubt you'd want to expose your private network to the public. you'd be better off opening the standard ports for whatever services you need than allowing unresticted access to your internal network. __ Do you Yahoo!?

perl / ksh help
hi,
I know some one has already done this and I need a little help. I have
two identical directories on two seperate machines. The files were
moved over fromm machine a to machine b. Everything is working
properly on machine b but all of the permissions were lost.
I've done the following:
(machine a)# find ./ -ls -print perm.list
Gave me the file listing and permisions
(machine a)# cat perm.list | awk '{print $4, ,$11}' newperm.list
This removed garbage like date owners etc that I didn't need.
Now I'm stuck with a file that looks like this:
-rw-r--r-- ./data/dir/data/getme.bin.old
-rw-rw-rw- ./data/dir/data/stp.501
drwxrwxrwx ./data/dir/data/realgoodgold
-rwsr-xr-x ./data/dir/exe/help
At this point I'm thinking great, now all I need is to create a perl or
shell script that converts the -rw-r--r--, etc into some sort of numerical value and
then
do soemthing like this
for
chmod $1 $2
done
.using perl or ksh. However I can't figure out how to do the
conversion correctly. Please will one of you perl / ksh experts please
help me out.
SEcondly I have a perl script that calls:
use GIFgraph::lines
The maker is now saying to call GD::Graph instead of
GIFgraph
(http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/GIFgraph/GIFgraph-1.20.readme).
I need to re-engineer the script is there a tutorial on GD:Graph some
where?
Thanks

On 24 Oct 2002, Kirk R. Wythers wrote: It looks to me like there is no reason for both aalib-1.4.r5 and aalib-1.4.r5_1. Seems that portupgrade does not cause this problem and is the prefered upgrade method There are numerous examples of this issue. My question is: what is the recommended way to delete an old version application x. This assumes of course that you are sure that it is not depended upon by some other app. Well you don't want to just 'pkg_delete -f' the older versions, since there will probably be a lot of files that got updated by the new version, which would cause a big mess. Personally I have always just installed the newer version of a port on-top of the older one. Then I go through the package database and fix the dependencies (I actually have a small script to do this for me). The package database is stored in the /var/db/pkg directory. Each port has it's own subdirectory, each of which contains a few files to describe the package, it's dependencies, files, etc. After fixing the dependencies I just remove the directory for the old package and it's uninstalled. I don't know if this is the best way to go about maintaining packages, and I realize that lots of unused/old files are being left around, but FWIW I have not run into any problems. Maybe someone has better advice? Also, I never really liked the idea of using portupgrade because it maintains a separate database and a completely different set of commands. I'm not saying portupgrade is bad since I really can't judge it, but (I know I sound like a prick here, but ...) if it's so good then why isn't it incorporated into the base system? I'm certainly open to new ideas, etc, but portupgrade seems like more of a bandaid to the original pkg database then fixing the problem (of upgrading ports and maintaining the database). Comments? Let me know if I'm way out of line. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Vinum Error - No space left on drive
I'm sure the answer to my question is on the Net somewhere but after a day and a half of searching, I've decided to plea for help. :) The error I get when I attempt to create the volume is: vinum - create ftp_vinum.conf 4: sd length 76319m drive ftp1 ** 4 No space for on ftp1: No space left on device The disk, volume, and plex are created but the subdisk is not: D ftp1 State: up Device /dev/ad1s1h Avail: 152637/76319 MB(200%) V ftp State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 0 B P ftp.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B Then steps I've taken and my config file, fdisk output, and disklabel are contained in the following narrative. I just wanted to put the error up front for those browsing the list. I have an 80G IDE drive (ad1) that I wish to use for a vinum volume.

fsck lasting several hours (and then forever) after crash
Hello lists (sorry for crossposting), This is kind of serious for me. Here is what happened: I portupgraded the native version of mozilla to 1.1 and fired it up. It crashed and took X with it. Keyboard and mouse where dead, I had to press the reset button. So the system rebooted and reached automatic fsck. Checked /, /var, /tmp and then, when going to /usr it stopped. And stood stopped. I've had it running 17 hours now, nothing. Booting into single user I do /sbin/fsck, which works nicely until here: Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=1702863 (4 should be 0) CORRECT [yn] No matter what I enter (tried both y and n) it goes on and then lasts forever. No harddisk-noise, no nothing. I really don't know why this is happening. fsck does not bail out or say anything, it just does nothing after above message. No CTRL-C, no CTRL-ALT-DEL, no nothing helps. Since I needed the system I edited /etc/rc and commented out the exit 1 part where it refuses going to multiuser when any of the file systems is marked 'dirty', then added the -f flag to mount. That way I got it back running, but how do I repair my /usr partition now without fsck failing to do its job? Has anybody a pointer for me, an idea or anything else I could try to repair /usr? I know that what I did is quite a dirty workaround.

I dropped to single user mode and did dd if=/dev/ad4s1h of=/dev/null bs=64k. It appears that fsck is not the problem but my disk is going bad. It turned out that our disk just needed a low-level format. Apparently, writing zeroes to (some) disks effects a low-level format, so I zeroed the entire bad disk (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s1c) and then I could read all the disks's blocks without problems. Of course zeroing the disk will destroy all your data. If you knew which blocks were bad you could try zeroing just those blocks; if they weren't holding real important information (like a superblock) then you might be able to save your files.

If so, how could I try zeroing out just those blocks? And if not, is there a way to tell which are the real bad blocks?
