Re: vpn

[Shaun Dwyer]

Easiest solution for this is probably to get a dyndns address,
get the freebsd box to update this everytime its ip changes
via one of the dyndns clients... run the vpn server on the freebsd
box, and get the win XP box to connect to it.

Totally automatic? No, I don't know of any.
You could use mpd on FreeBSD to set up or connect to a PPTP
VPN from the WinXP box.  I don't know of anything that will
figure out the IPs though.  You'll have to see what IP each
machine has before you'll be able to connect.

You could use IPsec, but last I checked, the Win version of
IPsec did things a little differently than the rest of the
world, and wasn't 100% compatable in all modes, but you still
might find it usefull ... depending on exactly what you are
trying to accomplish.

ipfw and dhcp.

[Gary D Kline]

When I installed ipfw recently, my wife complained that she
couldn't reach outside.  --She has a DOS/Win laptop that is 
plugged into my hub.  It works fine without enabling the 
DHCP line in my ipf firewall.   

If I translate this line into ipfw, should dhcp bgin working
for an arbitrary line::

# use next line if ISP uses DHCP
# pass in quick on dc0 proto udp from X.X.X.X/32 to any port = 68 keep state

??

My other systems are presently hard-wired.

Any ideas, pointers, thoughts, guesses very welcome.

thanks in advance, everybody,

Re: USB hub detach causing panic in 4.7p3?! (more information)

[Darren Pilgrim]

I tried various patterns of plugging and unplugging devices and the hub, 
as well as booting with and without the hub connected and with and 
without additional devices connected to the hub.  The additional device 
was a Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer.  I should note that I 
have /etc/usbd.conf modified to not run moused when a ums device is 
attached.

In all cases, panics only occured when the hub was detached without 
anything attached to it.  In all other cases the hub and the ums device 
attached to the hub it detached and reattached repeatedly without problems.

While doing this testing, the fault information was different in two 
places: the stack and frame pointer values in the second (after the 
"syncing disks" message) fault information block were different, but 
consistent for all panics:

stack pointer   = 0x10:0xc0250dd0
frame pointer   = 0x10:0xc0250dd8

The first fault's information block and the remaining information from 
the second block was the same as previously reported.

I also looked through my logs and found that, until this afternoon, the 
ums device was always attached when I had turned the monitor off.  My 
logs cover 4.7-R, 4.7p2, and 4.7p3, with over 20 reboots between 1am 
Friday morning and 5pm today, the time of the first panic.

I suppose the question now is: why does uhub cause a page fault when an 
unused hub is detached?  Unused meaning there are no devices hanging off it.

I'd also like to take this moment to thank all the hackers who made 
FreeBSD so damned robust that I could deliberately panic the machine 
over and over and have all the filesystems come up fine every time.

RE: How to customize 'pkg_add -r' for mailman

Thanks for your help.  I have locally installed the ports tree and

-editing the /usr/ports/mail/mailman/Makefile to use "MAIL_GID? = 65534"
-make (which fetches from the Internet since no local source could be
found)
-make install
-configure mailman

Problem solved!

Re: FreeBSD 4.7-Release Won't Boot (Non-MIME)

[Andrew Y Ng]

are you able to boot the kernel on the drive from the cdrom? (by interrupting
the boot loader on the cdrom and specifying the hard drive and kernel)

play with your BIOS setting, maybe you have to enable large disk support or
something. do you see the boot0 prompt at all (i think it says something like
"F1: FreeBSD")?? if you tried to install without boot manager and it still
didn't boot up freebsd, it's almost like your BIOS doesn't know how to load
the MBR, so maybe your BIOS settings are messed up.

I had problems with boot0 before, the FreeBSD Handbook and the FAQ's
disk/fs/boot section were really helpful. also look into boot(8).

USB hub detach causing panic in 4.7p3?!

[Darren Pilgrim]

I have a USB hub that's built into my Viewsonic PT775 monitor.  The hub 
works fine, and has worked fine for years in Windows, Linux, and 
FreeBSD.  The USB hub is only attached to the rest of the USB bus when 
the monitor is on, so turning the monitor on or off produces the 
expected uhub attach/detach noticed.  On Friday (Jan 10), I cvsupped and 
recompiled to upgrade from 4.7p2 to 4.7p3.  Prior to this upgrade, I 
know that the attach/dettach process worked without problems.  As of 
about 5pm today, turning the monitor off causes this result (please 
forgive typos, this is a transcription, though I'm over 99.9% sure the 
numbers are correct):

uhub1: at uhub0 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected
uhub1: detached

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual addres= 0x3
fault code  = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc031fe04
stack pointer   = 0x10:0xc0250fb0
frame pointer   = 0x10:0xc0250fc4
code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = Idle
interrupt mask  = bio
trap number = 12
panic: page fault


syncing disks...

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x30
fault code  = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc01c2498
stack pointer   = 0x10:0xc0250d98
frame pointer   = 0x10:0xc0250da0
code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = Idle
interrupt mask  = bio
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Uptime: 3m57s
--> Press a key on the console to reboot,
--> or switch off the system now.

Nothing is plugged into the hub at the time.  This seems to be a 
reliable panic in that I got the exact same panic when I switch the 
monitor off again later after having warm rebooted.

I can't say beyond now vs. before Friday if the upgrade to 4.7p3 caused 
the problem or not.  Nor can I say for sure that the problem existed 
between Friday and today, as I can't recall if I had turned off the 
monitor while running FreeBSD between now and then (I reboot between 
FreeBSD and Windows multiple times per day).

I made sure to delete the contens of /usr/obj/usr and run make cleandir 
twice before compiling 4.7p3, and I've made no other changes to the 
system configuration beyond adding a couple of X programs 
(x11-fm/asfiles and x11-fm/endeavour).

I'm going to try a few more things, like plugging and unplugging the hub 
with the monitor on, as well as plugging and unplugging devices from 
both the root hub and the hub in the monitor to see if it's more 
general, or if it's just something wrong with the uhub detach routine.

Is this a known problem or does anyone have any suggestions for tracking 
down this problem?

Correct.  You need to have the ports tree installed.

You can't.  The package is just a pre-compiled binary of the port using 
the default options specified in the port's Makefile.  Basically, it's 
the result of:

# cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
# make package

Maybe I'm missing something here... I always use pkg_add, which I

the port and compile it locally?  If so, can you direct me to the FAQ 
on this?  I have not been able to find anything in my 2nd Ed. copy of 
the FreeBSD Handbook.

pkg_add only deals with binaries.  You'll need to compile the port 
itself if you want to change the default options.  Take a look at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

ftpd and Internet Explorer 6

[Drew Tomlinson]

I was attempting to allow a user to get some files via ftp from my FreeBSD
4.7 box using the ftp client built into MS Internet Explorer 6 (IE).  I
created a guest account and set the shell to /sbin/nologin.  That appears to
work fine.  Then I created a symlink to the directory that contains the
files for the user but the symlink doesn't appear in the files list in IE.
All of the .files that were created by the adduser script do show.  My
directory looks like this:

-rw-r--r--  1 guest  guest  771 Jan 12 18:07 .cshrc
-rw-r--r--  1 guest  guest  255 Jan 12 18:07 .login

Is there something I can do to get the symlink to show in IE?  My user is
very green and trying to teach him how to use an ftp client is something I'd
rather avoid.

RE: LINUX sysinfo syscall

[William Gianopoulos]

OK sounds like the answer is to not bother.  Kind of what I suspected.  The
tapedrive was not going to be a problem I was only trying to get the
workgroup option to work to back it up via TCP/IP to the Windows/XP system
with the tapedrive on it.

I guess I'll just stick with my current backup method.  The other drive on
the system runs windows so I just mount it and backup stuff to it and then
do the tape backups from there.
Just makes it a 2 step 2 OS boot thing to restore stuff from tape though.

You will face two other problems once you get it actually running:

* You won't be able to use it as a device server, since Tapeware sends
  raw SCSI requests to /dev/sg* on Linux.  The equivalent for FreeBSD
  would be to use /dev/pass* devices, and there is no emulation layer.

* Linux emulated programs always search /compat/linux/ before /, so if
  you ask to have "/bin" backed up it will back up /compat/linux/bin
  instead of /bin, for example.  I don't know if there is a useful
  workaround, since Tapeware is smart enough to not follow symlinks
  (otherwise you could ccreate a symlink at /compat/linux/realroot
  pointing to /, and ask Tapeware to back up "/realroot")

Tapeware is great software, but I don't think they are a large enough
company to be able to maintain a port to FreeBSD.  I think you can tell
Tapeware to back up NFS mountpoints, so you might be able to back up the
FreeBSD system by mounting it from another Linux box (or a Windows one if
the BSD one is running samba)

4.7-Release Won't Boot

[Matt Rudderham]

Hi,
I am attempting an installation of 4.7 Release made from ISO a few days ago on the 
following system: AMD Athlon 1400 Aopen AK77-333 MB Western Digital Caviar 20GB Hard 
Disk

The system boots from CD A OK, and runs through the install without any problems, upon 
reboot after the install is complete the system reports a disk error and FreeBSD will 
not boot from the hard drive, it does not begin loading FreeBSD or anything at all.  
Other OS's have worked on the same hardware with no problems, I verified the C/H/S 
settings for the FDISK, and they are okay, I have tried installing with the FreeBSD 
boot manager, as well as with the old Dangerously Dedicared mode, to no avail.  I'm 
not really sure where I can go from here.  I suspected a problem with the hard disk at 
first but I have run all the Western Digital diagnostics on it, and they come out 
clean.  It is running at ATA100 with the proper cabling, and FreeBSD detects this, it 
also appears that all of the install files DO copy to the drive, as I can use the 
system immediately after the install from the Emergency shell on VTY4, right now it is

I don't think it is doing NAT - I'll check before investing long
nights into this.

And the Cisco client has been ported, but it hasn't been made to work
on FreeBSD in compatibility mode.  One of the folks I work with tried
for a while and gave up.  Something to do with a hardcoded ethernet
interface and some wierdness with making it configurable or changing
it at all.  I've never gotten a look at the code myself, but I've been
severly discouraged from attempting it.  I don't know why.

Thanks for the heads up.

I use DRAC + SASL (for sendmail). Admitted, you have to recompile a few

For the other person who didn't know what pop-before-smtp is;

it's a perl daemon utility that maintains a flat file db of those
who have recently popped the mail server - db entries contihue
to exist for a specific time and then are removed

the deamon does not allow anyone not in the flat file to
use smtp

it's an anti-spam relay technique - really it's a kludge, but
it works

Re: VPN Newbie has a silly question

[Adam Maas]

Big question is 'Is that Cisco box doing NAT?' If so, you might as well
stick to SSH Tunneling, because IPSEC won't do encryption through a NAT'ing
firewall. Solution 3 is to look to see if anybody ported the GRE (CISCO
Proprietary VPN Protocol) support from Linux.

Re: pop-before-smtp

[Adam Maas]

POP before SMTP is a form of SMTP Authentication. Basically, the SMTP
allowes any IP which has succesfully POP'd mail to relay through it for a
fixed period, say 15 minutes since the POP3 transaction. It's quite useful
for roaming dial users.

No, it's a Cisco 5000, or some such thing.  It isn't IPSEC compliant,
but has like 2 general passwords - in addition to the user password.
There was supposed to be some promotion from Cisco to upgrade it last
year, with free hardware, but our sysadmins were swamped at the time
and decided against it.  Had they had the time, it would have become
IPSEC compliant.

I'll start on that.  What I'll do is look out for a connection failure
hook of sorts, and just write a script to reinitialize the connection
when the IP changes.  Shouldn't be too hard to monitor that and write
a catch script to fix the configs and reestablish the connection.

Thanks a bunch.

What do you mean with: pop-before-smtp. You use STMP to send you mail

From the ipfw(8) man page:

   RULE OPTIONS (MATCH PATTERNS)
 Additional match patterns can be used within rules. Zero or more of these
 so-called options can be present in a rule, optionally prefixed by the
 not operand, and possibly grouped into or-blocks.

 The following match patterns can be used (listed in alphabetical order):

 [...]

 gid group
 Matches all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for a group.
 A group may be specified by name or number.

which sounds like a way of implementing what you want.  Section 10.7
of the handbook covers setting up ipfw(8):
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html.
If you need help generating a ruleset for ipfw(8), search the archives
of this list for innumerable examples or ask again here.  Note that
this may not work entirely the way you expect as it's not possible in
all cases for the network stack to know what the gid of the local
*user* that causes the packets to be generated is, just the
sending/receiving process.

Another approach is to modify the ownership+permissions of the
binaries on the system --- this isn't fool proof by any means. A
reasonably quick witted user can just grab their own copy of the
binary from some other system, and use that. It will, at least, make
your intentions clear.  E.g. to limit telnet(1) to a particular group
of users, try:

# pw group add -n tlntusrs -M john,paul,george,ringo
# chgrp tlntusrs /usr/bin/telnet
# chmod 750 /usr/bin/telnet

Keep a script handy to regenerate the mode and group ownership changes
as if you ever do a {build,install}world your modifications will get
blown away.

Cheers,

Matthew

You definitely don't want to do this.  Shared libraries get version
bumps when the APIs change, so all you would do is coredump.

Run "ldd -a" on your electriceyes binary instead of "ldd".  This will
print out which libs pull in which libs.  Then upgrade whatever port
provided the lib that depends on libintl.so.2.

You will face two other problems once you get it actually running:

* You won't be able to use it as a device server, since Tapeware sends
  raw SCSI requests to /dev/sg* on Linux.  The equivalent for FreeBSD
  would be to use /dev/pass* devices, and there is no emulation layer.

* Linux emulated programs always search /compat/linux/ before /, so if
  you ask to have "/bin" backed up it will back up /compat/linux/bin
  instead of /bin, for example.  I don't know if there is a useful
  workaround, since Tapeware is smart enough to not follow symlinks
  (otherwise you could ccreate a symlink at /compat/linux/realroot
  pointing to /, and ask Tapeware to back up "/realroot")

Tapeware is great software, but I don't think they are a large enough
company to be able to maintain a port to FreeBSD.  I think you can tell
Tapeware to back up NFS mountpoints, so you might be able to back up
the FreeBSD system by mounting it from another Linux box (or a Windows
one if the BSD one is running samba)

pop-before-smtp

Hi !

I've been looking all around but I don't find any pop-before-smtp
solution within FreeBSD (no package, no ports, at least I didn't find
any).
Do you know if such a solution exists.

Thanks in advance.

It should be doable. You may have less hair than you started out with and
learn more than you ever cared to about IPSec on the way to getting it to work,
but it should work.

Now, is this Cisco deal a concentrator, a PIX, or a router? (it makes a
difference) Do you have the flexibility of getting its admin to create the
necessary IPSec policy and access lists to allow you through? Is your new
IP address always within the same network range? (that will make access
lists much easier)

These will get you started:

klub.chip.pl/nolewajk/work/freebsd/FreeBSD-howto.htm

www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_configuration_guides_books_list.html

you want SC: Part 4: IP Security and Encryption

Make sure you create a "dynamic" crypto map in addition to the regular
crypto map. Authentication may prove interesting due to the dynamic IP;
you'll want to read up carefully on your possibilities.

As a side note, it may prove easier to just configure ssh on the
destination computer and create the necessary rule to allow the
connection on the access list on the Cisco thingie. Just a thought.

Good luck,

Dru

This sounds like a different issue - my suggestion was for how to avoid
putting sendmail into the system when you build it.

Admittedly, after a default install it's already there and you have to
go and remove it, so yes, there should be an installer option for it.

If you need to start sendmail after DJB dnscache, you can disable it in
/etc/rc.conf and start it from a local script, no?

This looks to me like a problem with one of the floppy disks you made.
Try again with a fresh floppy.  From experience, I've found that
there's quite a high failure rate on floppy disks used in this way ---
a single bad sector on the disk will make it useless for booting a
kernel from.

If you've got a FreeBSD machine available, running fdformat(1) on the
floppy and making sure that it formats without error will generally
confirm that the floppy is usable.  Plus reformatting the disk seems
to improve you chances of success when you copy one of the download
disk images onto it.

Cheers,

Matthew

Newbie needs help with installation tasks.

[Steve Gladstone]

I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.7R on an Intel Celeron 300MHz PC which has 
a 4GB hard drive and Windows 98 installed.

I have used Partition Magic to shrink the Windows partition on my hard drive 
from 4GB to 3GB and created a 1GB partition for the FreeBSD installation.
Partition Magic didn't offer support for preparing a partition for FreeBSD 
installation so I elected to create a FAT32 partition reasoning that the 
FreeBSD installation process would reformat the partition for the required 
file system.

I downloaded 4.7-mini.iso from FreeBSD.org and used Nero/Express to burn the 
file system to a CD-R disk.
I viewed the CD-R disk with a utility called ISOBUSTER and it appeared to be 
a bootable CDROM.

I marked my 1GB partition as active and rebooted my PC, after selecting 
CDROM as the first device in my BIOS settings.
I got an error message 'Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM ; Failure...' Invalid system 
disk

I searched the available docs on the Internet and concluded that I would 
have to boot from floppies as my PC would not allow booting from the CDROM 
device, despite the BIOS settings.

I formatted two floppy disks and used the /tools/fdimage utility on the CD-R 
disk to copy /floppies/kern.flp and /floppies/mfsroot.flp to the floppy 
disks.

I rebooted again with the new partition marked as active after selecting the 
floppy drive as the first boot device in the BIOS settings.

I got the FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader message as expected but instead of 
being prompted to insert the mfsroot disk I got the following messages...

/kernel text=0x2833b1 zf_read: unexpected EOF
zf_read: unexpected EOF

elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed.
can't load module '/kernel'; input/output error.

The boot process then indicated that it was...
Booting [kernel]

and promptly produced the same error messages as before indicating that it 
could not load 'kernel' or 'kernel.old'

Until two days ago I didn't have any prior experience with CD-R burning, 
using Partition Magic, or installation of a UNIX operating system so I am 
quite prepared to believe I have made mistakes in the pre-installation 
tasks.
However, after searching the Internet for descriptions of similar problems I 
am unsure how to proceed.

I would appreciate any advice on why I couldn't install from the CD-R DISK 
and/or why I can't boot from the floppies.

IBM PC 750 & Linksys LNE100TX from OS X iBook network install success.

[Jon]

I'm not a list subscriber, but I thought I 'd share a success I have
had getting my Linksys LNE100TX (ADMtek AN985 based) NIC to work for
sysinstall.  I've read a few previous posts where people claimed that
they had to install with a temporary NIC, configure a custom kernel,
then reinstall their Linksys card for it to work.  I've found that this
is not so.  Here's my basic setup:

IBM PC 750 -
P-100, 80MB RAM, 850MB IDE disk, Linksys LNE100TX NIC, SB16 ISA,
CD-ROM.

Apple iBook -
G3-600, 640MB, 20GB, built-in NIC, good 24x CD-ROM.

I tried to boot the PC off the FreeBSD 4.3 cd I have, but it was
scratched from another (bad) cd drive so that was a no-go.  Luckily the
iBook reads the scratched cd perfectly, which I've already used to
net-install an old IBM ThinkPad 360CE.  I booted the PC from the
standard floppies, bypassed the kernel config (the first mistake that
everyone else made too, I'm sure) and began to setup the (O)ptions for
the install.  I selected DHCP, set my ftp user to one on the iBook, and
proceeded to start a standard install.  When it came time to configure
the network card, the kernel spewed something akin to what is described
here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#TRAP-12-PANIC

I tried following the instructions for deciphering what was going
wrong, but I seemed to get different addresses everytime I re-attempted
the install.  I'm sure this is what eveyone else would have run into as
well.  I did find that some of the addresses were found in the mii
code, so I brainstormed that it might be a conflict in the network
drivers.

I began another re-install.  I went into the kernel config this time
and disabled ALL of the available network options.  Suddenly things
worked flawlessly and the NIC got configured (without a page fault) via
DHCP from the iBook and happily began the install.  Problem solved, and
the NIC works just dandy for sysinstall.

Another tip for those net-installing from an OS X Apple:  use a
standard user account for your ftp setting in sysinstall.  When you set
what FTP server to get the files from, specify
ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx//Volumes/fbsdxx_1 as the server and directory. 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the Mac, of course, and fbsdxx_1 is the
first disk of your FreeBSD release CD.

It made for an interesting install, almost as interesting as getting
the old TP running.

Jon.

Question

[Steve Winnacott]

Hey people,

I'm having trouble limiting users to certain services on my LAN.

Here's what im trying to do.

Based on group membership, allow or deny certain users access to certain
outgoing services (www, telnet, ftp, ssh, ping, traceroute, etc). Again this
is not IP based, but based on group membership. Everyone can log into any PC
on the LAN. I've seen something like this done in Novell, where based on a
users group context, their access is limited to certain services.

Install the port instead and add --with-mail-gid 65534 to the 
CONFIGURE_ARGS in the Makefile, or define it on the command line when 
you compile the port:

   make CONFIGURE_ARGS="--with-mail-gid 65534" install

That should work, I think.

I would prefer to use the pkg_add method, as it has other 
customizations (daemon logo, etc.) that I prefer over the source 
compiled version.

If it's in the package, it's in the port since the package is built 
from the port.

VPN Newbie has a silly question

[Louis LeBlanc]

Here's a complicated VPN question:

I have one FreeBSD machine behind a firewall (let's call it WORK),
only way thru is via VPN - unfortunately, the VPN in use is an old
proprietary Cisco deal that has no client ported to FreeBSD.

The other machine (also FreeBSD, call it HOME), is on a dynamic IP,
but with the dns name served thru Zoneedit.com - so anytime the IP
changes, there's maybe an hour or two of lag time while the auto
update scripts get the dns back on track.

What I want to do is initiate a VPN connection from WORK to HOME, and
here's where I show my VPN ignorance, connect thru that VPN connection
from HOME to WORK.  Basically I want to work from home on a secure
connection rather than just getting my work machine to pop a terminal
up on the home display over an insecure connection.

I suspect this won't work this way, but I figure what the hell.  The
worst that can happen is someone tells me I'm a dope and it don't work
that way.

So will it, or not?

TIA
Lou

Yes. Find port that's using the old version of libintl, and upgrade
it. Unfortunately, there's not an easy way to find the port. See the
patch in http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/37448 >

to use libintl.so.2. Then use pkg_info -W to find thae name of the

FWIW, a link may work, but is asking for trouble.

It looks like you are using portupgrade. It copies old libraries to
/usr/local/lib/compat when it upgrades the port and the version number
changes. It does that so that upgrading the port doesn't cause other
ports that depend on it to stop working. Personally, I disable this
and resign myself to having a few things break and rebuilding them.

The proper solution is to rebuild all ports that depend on the old
library, so that it eventually gets purged from all binaries on your
system.

This really isn't a good idea.  While linking old shared object versions
to the new shared object might work just fine, subtle API changes can
cause otherwise good applications to break.

I'd remove these links, and the libintl.so, then hunt down all binaries
that are still linked against libintl.so.[12], and hit them with
portupgrade -f.

Many people have replied saying you could try writing a script.  I use
``abcde'' (/usr/ports/audio/abcde) and it is an excellent script.  It
supports CDDB, numerous different rippers and many encoders (oggenc,
lame, etc.)  Of course, M3U playlists are also supported and it can do
almost everything that grip can only without the unnecessary GUI.

  Hope that's some help.

libintl.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.4 (0x284c2000)
libintl.so.2 => not found (0x0)

Is there a solution except of creating a link?

Totally automatic? No, I don't know of any.
You could use mpd on FreeBSD to set up or connect to a PPTP

Gigabyte doesn't make nForce.

I'm keen on the MSI but I'm unsure of the NIC support. Unlike Asus which uses 
the clunky RTL8139 chipset, the MSI sticks with Nvidia original design, that 
is using the ones integrated into the MCP. I couldn't find any listing of it 
in the Hardware section so I'm assuming that it's unsupported.

I'm not keen on an add on NIC, if the NIC was integrated, might as well take 
advantage of it.

Re: Good integrated Athlon chipset for FreeBSD

[Adam Maas]

The nForce based boards would be your best bet. Good solid chipset with a
decent video core. You should be able to find one that's less expensive than
the Asus. Perhaps an MSI or Gigabyte.

Subject: Good integrated Athlon chipset for FreeBSD


Hello all,

I'm building a small workgroup (10 PCs) which will be used for software and
network testing as well for day-to-day usage. We're also conducting small
classes teaching UNIX for school students in our area. Therefore I'm looking
for a good integrated Athlon chipset which are supported in FreeBSD. I'm
specifically looking at Epox EP-8KMM+ utilizing the VIA KM266 chipset. But
I'm a little doubtful about the sound, video and above all, the NIC.

The sound uses Realtek ALC201A chipset, the video is VT8375 ProSavage8 and
the
NIC utilizes Realtek RTL8100B(L). I can't seem to find on the FreeBSD
hardware page supports for the sound and the NIC while a search on Xfree
driver site turned zero on the video. Does this mean, that they are not
supported? I'm really interested in the chipset because it's cheap and most
of us are literate when it comes to hardware, we can skip the support that
comes with pricier brands and motherboards.

My other option would be Asus A7N-266E using the nForce 420D chipset. I've
heard cases that this particular motherboard is usable in FreeBSD. The NIC
is
RTL8139 (rl) while other nForce boards seem to use the MCP-D built-in LAN,
which I can't seem to find any cases of it being run on any installation.

I'm open to any suggestion that will allow me to choose the best platform
for
our research. Cost of course is a factor but I will not buy cheap if it's
going to prove a hassle in the future.

Thank you for your time.

No, you fucking moronic negro, the solution is to disable the
 parallel port which he doesn't need anyway.

You might want to check a couple of things:
1] Make sure that P'nP OS option in the BIOS is not enabled.
2] Move the offending nic to another slot
3] Use the 3Com utility to disable P'nP mode on the nics and set unique,
fixed IRQ & IO port for both cards 

Hope this helps.

Horde: PHP 4.2.3 silently dies in imp/contacts.php

[Roman Neuhauser]

I've asked about this on [EMAIL PROTECTED], but haven't received a
reply yet, and this might be FreeBSD-related.

I have a problem with PHP dying silently in IMP-3.1/Horde-2.1.

I'm seeing this on two different boxes:

1. FreeBSD-4.7-RELEASE
   ports: apache-1.3.27, php-4.2.3, pear-Log-1.5
   source: Horde-2.1, IMP-3.1, Turba-1.1
2. FreeBSD-4.7-STABLE
   ports: pear-Log-1.5
   source: apache-1.3.26, php-4.3.0, Horde-2.1, IMP-3.1, Turba-1.1

roman@freepuppy ~/install/horde 1026:0 > grep -En '(\$Horde|->call)' 
imp-3.1/contacts.php
3: * $Horde: imp/contacts.php,v 2.39.2.5 2002/06/05 22:46:50 jan Exp $
26:$source_list = $registry->call('contacts/sources');
65:$results = $registry->call('contacts/search', $apiargs);

It dies on line 65, the second call to $registry->call(), the script
then doesn't output anything. "echo 'FOO'; exit;" put just befor the
call *is* sent to the browser, if I move it below, I get no output
again.

Now, putting debugging echo's inside Registry::call() and
Registry::callByPackage() gives me the output all the way to the return
in Registry::call(); if I split the "return $this->callByPackage..." to
"$foo = $this->callByPackage...; return $foo;", I get the output of
those pesky "echo 'FOO'" I put between the callByPackage() call and the
return.

IOW, looks like it dies the very moment Registry::call() returns.

This is what I get in access_log:

10.0.0.10 - - [10/Jan/2003:17:09:47 +0100] "GET 
/contacts.php?Horde=c9f260c9967132f9eb5f19e00804eafc HTTP/1.1" 200 5

Anyone seen this?

Re: CD to MP3

[Andrew Y Ng]

I just use dagrab to grab the audio cd tracks to wav's, and just convert them
to shn's with shorten (i don't like MP3's, but try gogo if you wanna encode
MP3). I like this better than fancy GUI apps, if you're okay with using a
shell or writing simple scripts, u probably would prefer doing it in CLI
also...

grip (audio/grip) is pretty good for this.  I have it configured to use
cdda2wav, from the cdrtools port (sysutsil/cdrtools) for the actual ripping
and the Blade MP3 encoder (audio/bladeenc).  It's easy to change it to use
a different ripper or encoder, though.

irq conflict after installkernel

[Stefan 'i4o' Beke]

After updating my FreeBSD 4.7 stable I can't use 2nd network card. It
was possible before update. KERNCONF is the same.

>dmesg | grep ep0

ep0: <3Com 3C509-TPC EtherLink III> at port 0x300-0x30f irq 7 on isa0
ep0: No irq?!

device_probe_and_attach: ep0 attach returned 6

Irq 7 is already taken by

There is a port called cs2mp3.  /usr/ports/audio/cs2mp3.  It is a perl
script that is a bit rough around the edges, but works pretty if no
exceptions occur.

Re: Netatalk - Mac OS X connection problem

[Jim Arnold]

This is baffling.  I have a OS X 10.2.3 machine that can connect just
fine (as do you).  The sniffer traces are more or less identical.  Since
it looks like the OS X client is initiating the disconnect, can you
bring up the OS X console under Applications->Utilities->Console, and
see if any messages show up there?

Matthew, thanks again for the reply. However, I've tried both
methods of
the compat3x on a test server, including and whole new
build/installworld
and the latest 4.7-STABLE still hoses FrontPage. I even deleted and
started
from scratch on Apache+FP-1.27, but the FP install stops dead at
trying to
chown the uid:gid on the root web and gives the same error:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libm.so.2: Undefined symbol
"__stderrp"
ERROR: Unable to chown web root web in port 80

This caught me by surprise because I'd had FP running fine with
FBSD-4.7
(RELEASE and STABLE) on other servers, but it was the installs JUST
prior
to the change date of 20021110. In fact they where only 5 days
earlier. FP
still doesn't understand what's going on apparently.

Backing down to the installs prior to 20021110 makes FP happy again.
Unfortunately, until I figure out the cure, I can't track
4.7-STABLE. As
much as it is a pain, I must run FP for the users.

No doubt others running FP must have seen this by now nothing
else is
affected and 4.7-STABLE runs fine otherwise (tried several
machines).

Any other thoughts, Matthew or from anyone much appreciated.

Last Thursday I installed apache-fp from the ports collection on

spop3d leave mail on server

[Roelf Schreurs]

Hi

I'm running spop3d on freebsd and everything almost works fine.
The only problem is that a copy of the mail is not left on the server as 
requested by the mail clients (outlook, eudora, etc.)
Has anybody seen this problem before?

Thanks

Matthew, thanks again for the reply. However, I've tried both methods of
the compat3x on a test server, including and whole new build/installworld

/stand/sysinstall/update

[dick hoogendijk]

Wow! Lucky me. Running FreeBSD in VMWare3.2
v4.7R runs perfectly, but I liked to experiment a little. After all:
what's the harm in a vm machine ;-)) So I choosed 'upgrade' from the
/stand/sysinstall menu and choose what I had chosen when installing
(minimal install). Pointed at the main FTP site and there it goes..

Alas, after rebooting the system is halted. Cannot load kernel or
kernel.old
What did I do wrong? Must I update All instead of Minimal?
Or what?

Which TAG(s) in /etc/make.conf to enable using KERBEROS5/Heimdal

[Hartmann, O.]

Hello.

I have a fundamental question to Heimdal/Kerberos5.
I wish to use Kerberos5/Heimdal on our FreeBSD systems (running
actualy 4.7-pl3).

My first attempts failed because I only enabled MAKE_KERBEROS5=YES
in /etc/make.conf as the only build TAG, so when I was trying to
do some installation tasks described in /usr/src/crypto/heimdal/doc
I ran into trouble due to missing of some administrative tools (I can
not remember what; I know, this is really unspecific). I solved the
problem by enabling both MAKE_KERBEROS5 AND MAKE_KERBEROS4 in
/etc/make.conf.

Can anyone tell me whether it is right enabling both or is this simply
nonsense? Maybe several code parts of KRB5 relies on parts of KRB4 so it is
needed as well to build KRB5/Heimadal, but I did not find any useable
documentation about this, neither some basic instructions nor further
readings how to play with Heimdal specificaly on FreeBSD.

Can you help?
I would appreciate your hints.

Thanks a lot.

Oliver

LINUX sysinfo syscall

[William Gianopoulos]

This has probably been asked before, but I could not find any info searching
the archives.
I am trying to run the Linux version Tapeware from Yosemite under FreeBSD
4.1.  It fails because the Linux syscall sysinfo is not implemented.  My
questions are:

1-  Is there some other port/package or option I should be using?

2-  Would a later version of FreeBSD fix this?

3-  Should I just give up?

Any help would be appreciated.

X11 problem. Simultaneous user connection on same machine.

Hello all,

I'm running KDE under a normal user and I couldn't seem to get some group of 
kcontrol to work properly. Whenever I need to adjust some settings such as 
Font Installer, Login Manager which requires root access (which I have), the 
Loading screen just stood there actionless when I click on the Administrator 
Mode button. 

So I tried su-ing to root in konsole and run kcontrol from there. I avoid 
using root account when running X11 so I set the $DISPLAY. I ran kcontrol and 
this was the output that I got.

All that setting COMPAT3X=yes does is cause the buildworld process to
uudecode and install some precompiled copies of FreeBSD-3.x shared
libraries --- see /usr/src/lib/compat/compat3x.i386 for what's
available.  Those libraries were originally just copied off a 3.x
machine, but since then kernel changes in 4.x or 5.0 have meant that
certain changes have had to be back ported to RELENG_3 in order to
maintain compatibility between the 3.x shlibs and the kernel.

Supplying those libraries by installing the port achieves exactly the
same effect, but quicker.  However, the choice is entirely up to you.
In the long run, putting COMPAT3X into /etc/make.conf would be my
choice, as my regular schedule of buildworlds would ensure everything
was up to date.

Once the 3.x shlibs are in place, the binary frontpage binary supplied
with the apache-fp port should pick them up OK.  The interface between
the 3.x shlibs and any applications linked to them should remain
exactly the same.

Cheers,

Matthew

Good integrated Athlon chipset for FreeBSD

[Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim]

Hello all,

I'm building a small workgroup (10 PCs) which will be used for software and 
network testing as well for day-to-day usage. We're also conducting small 
classes teaching UNIX for school students in our area. Therefore I'm looking 
for a good integrated Athlon chipset which are supported in FreeBSD. I'm 
specifically looking at Epox EP-8KMM+ utilizing the VIA KM266 chipset. But 
I'm a little doubtful about the sound, video and above all, the NIC.

The sound uses Realtek ALC201A chipset, the video is VT8375 ProSavage8 and the 
NIC utilizes Realtek RTL8100B(L). I can't seem to find on the FreeBSD 
hardware page supports for the sound and the NIC while a search on Xfree 
driver site turned zero on the video. Does this mean, that they are not 
supported? I'm really interested in the chipset because it's cheap and most 
of us are literate when it comes to hardware, we can skip the support that 
comes with pricier brands and motherboards.

My other option would be Asus A7N-266E using the nForce 420D chipset. I've 
heard cases that this particular motherboard is usable in FreeBSD. The NIC is 
RTL8139 (rl) while other nForce boards seem to use the MCP-D built-in LAN, 
which I can't seem to find any cases of it being run on any installation.

I'm open to any suggestion that will allow me to choose the best platform for 
our research. Cost of course is a factor but I will not buy cheap if it's 
going to prove a hassle in the future.

Thank you for your time.

the media type is correctly recognized as 10baseT/UTP?

If yes, there may be a problem between freebsd and your new nic.

You said the machine in question is a dual boot machine? Which os OS
does it use? And the NIC works well with that other OS.

Could you try the following:
If some of your other machines runs the same OS as that with the NIC
working flawless, try to change the NICs of the two machines (I hope
it's not a onboard one).

If it's a onboard one try adding a second NIC to the machine and see if
that is working.

Easier said than done.  Some types of attacks such as SYN flooding and
smurfs can be prevented, to a point.  How can a peice of software
determine the difference between legit traffic and traffic intended to
bring down your server?  It would be very hard to write a program that can
tell the difference between someone downloading a large file off your
website with a high through-put and someone flooding your services with
invalid requests.

Even if there was something like that, what are the chances of false
positives?  Look at all the problems trying to prevent spam.  Both of
these problems will likely need to be prevented through legislation, not
code, before we will really see a declide.  Yes, I am referring to
Lawrence Lessig's idea for spam control.  Anyways, this is not the place
for that discussion.

I did some research as to why fvcool would make your computer unstable. And,
it turns out, it is not so much the CPU itself which may cause instability,
but the power supply. :(

The idea is, that when your power supply heavily fluctuates between, say,
70W (normal operations), and 5W (power-safe mode), the power supply may
experience trouble keeping the voltages stable. Plus, rapidly fluctuating
the power draw, to the effect that fvcool would cause, or rather: that
power-safe mode would cause, it is argued that the lifespan of your power
supply may shorten drastically.

And then there is the issue of the UPS. Dunno about others, but my UPS (APC
350), according to its specifications, does not allow equipment that draws
power on a gliding scale (like lamps with dimmer switches).

All-in-all, and I say this with regret, I have therefore decided not to use
fvcool, after all. :(
