FreeBSD 4.7 -> 5.0 (Removing Perl/UUCP safly?)
How to safly and completely remove Perl / UUCP and maybe others which have been removed from the source tree. UPDATING doesnt mention anything about it. Furthermore there is need for doing installworld on some boxes far away in multi user mode. any chance this works? -- Best regards / Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Karl M.

periodic mail reject logs with sendmail 8.12
I don't know if this has come up but In upgrading sendmail 8.11 to 8.12 on FreeBSD 4.2 I found that the parsing of the maillog by the 460periodic script was getting the arg1 and logging only the recipient domain with the script --cut perl -ne "print \"\$2\n\" if (/reject=/ and /^$start.*ruleset=check_\S+,\s+arg1=(<[^@]+@)?([^>,]+).*reject=/o);" | sort -f | uniq -ic | sort -fnr | tee /dev/stderr | wc -l) -- cut The solution is to change the string to move the parse to the right as the new logs are in a different format. *ruleset=check_\S+,\s+arg1= to:*arg1=\S+,\s+relay= -- John Laugenour AFES Network Services http://yolo.net 530-668-9864 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

permission denied in ping?
Today I found that I cannot connect to the lan. Logged as root, pinging 127.0.0.1 returns: Ping 127.0.0.1: sendto: Permission denied And pinging whatever address returns the same error message. Ifconfig looks alright, so is rc.conf and route. It used to be working several weeks ago, but I didn't connect to this LAN for quite some time, and lots of things changed. (I even configed a new kernel.) So I'm not sure what's the cause of the problem. A FreeBSD 4.7 on ThinkPad R30.

If you get a directory listing of the CD in e.g. win32 do you see 1 enormous file or the BSD CD structure? If the disk was burned improperly, you'll see just 1 large file on the CD and not the correct file structure.

Experiences installing 5.0
Having successfully run 5.0-DP2 on my Vaio Z600TEK laptop, I tried a binary upgrade to 5.0-R. Unsurprisingly, it didn't recognise the "Ninja ATA" pccard that connects the CDROM. So I attempted to install by NFS from a 4.7 machine. This paniced (repeatably) within a few seconds of starting to extract the base distribution. (Sorry, I didn't record the panic message.) So instead I copied the CD to a Windows partition, and installed from there. This worked until it came to install the perl package, which failed because it was already installed. It then insisted that it hadn't been able to install even the base distribution so the upgrade had failed. It now boots into 5.0-R, but of course it has not restored my /etc files; I guess I can do that by hand. I can't reproduce the panic in the running system: NFS mounting and unpacking the base distribution doesn't cause any problem. -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

smbus & hardware monitoring problem
Hi All, I'm having a spot of bother getting hardware monitoring working under FreeBSD (4.7-RELEASE-p3). I have a M7MKA mainboard (Biostar) slot A Athlon, with a AMD751/756 chipset. According to the documentation I've found it has a winbond W83782D hardware monitor which is supposed to be supported by healthd. My current attempt at kernel configuration has the following differences from GENERIC. additional entries to GENERIC # trying to get smbus working for hardware monitoring device smbus # Bus support, required for smb below. device intpm device alpm device ichsmb device viapm device smb device iicbus # Bus support, required for device iicbb device ic device iic device iicsmb # smb over i2c bridge device pcf0 end addition entries - dmesg doesn't come up with any indication that smbus or smb devices are found/configured and I'm beginning to tear my hair out. Obviously I'm doing something really stupid or it would be working and I'm at my wits end. Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction as I'm still fairly new to the ins and outs of the kernel configurations under FreeBSD.

Root Servers - Nameserver Update.
Hi all, I will be moving our servers this weekend to a new POP. The move includes our nameservers, also, all our IPs will change. 1) Does anyone KNOW when the root servers update DNS for hosts (NS's)? 2) We were planning to change the DNS about 11:00 P.M. this Saturday, Taking the machines to the new POP, and hoping by the time we did the DNS would start resolving to the new IPs. Which leads back to question 1... How soon before a move would you say we should change the IPs dor the nameserversBTW, all TTLs are set to 30 minutes. (Including the nameservers. -Grant Grant W.

If it's an 'extension', then it's not 'standard' and not worth using as a point of comparison.

dc NIC: mac address gets reset (5.0-REL)
I just installed FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE on a machine that was running 4.7-RELEASE-p3 before. I've got a problem with my network card: After rebooting the system, it's MAC address is reset to C0:00:C0:00:C0:00. The card works fine otherwise (apart from some "dc: failed to force tx and rx to idle state" messages that are, as far as the mailing lists tell me, uncritical). This of course makes the DHCP server give me another than my standard IP. Also, if I install FreeBSD 5.0 on another machine in my LAN, and it shows the same behaviour, i'll run into problems. I can manually change the MAC address back to its old value, then restart dhclient, and it works. However, I don't want to have to do that after every reboot... Here's the relevant lines from dmesg: - PASTE START - dc0: port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xef00-0xefff irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: c0:00:c0:00:c0:00 miibus0: on dc0 dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state - PASTE END - Any ideas?

It's not a problem. Some build failures are systemic, and questions is the correct place to deal with them.

calcru: negative time ... messages on 5.0-RELEASE
We're trying out 5.0-RELEASE on a test machine, and all is working well (so far) except for the continual "calcru: negative time ..." messages. I found information about this in the FAQ, but 5.0 doesn't seem to have a kern.timecounter.method oid. I also found information in the 5.0DP1 errata that pointed me to the -CURRENT mailing list, but a search of that list produced very little information, and the only thing to try (setting kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC) didn't change anything. Is there any more information on this? Is the last paragraph in the FAQ (that my interrupts are too hosed) applicable?

weirdness in NIC probing
(please honour Mail-Followup-To, I'm not subscribed) Hi, I upgraded a box from 4.5 to 4.7, and to my surprise, it didn't recognize the NIC at bootup anymore (having miibus and wb in the kernel). However, it does recognize it if I plug another NIC in. This is what I get when it recognizes it: wb0: port 0xd800-0xd87f mem 0xdb00-0xdb7f irq 5 at devic e 10.0 on pci0 wb0: Ethernet address: 00:0 2:03:06:00:e5 miibus0: on wb0 lxtphy0: on miibus0 lxtphy0: 100baseFX, 100bas eFX-FDX, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto The relevant entries from pciconf are: wb0@pci0:10:0: class=0x02 card=0x08401050 chip=0x08401050 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Winbond Electronics Corp.' device = 'W89C840F 100/10Mbps Ethernet Controller' class= network subclass = ethernet none1@pci0:13:0:class=0x02 card=0x00118086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82557/8/9 EtherExpress PRO/100(B) Ethernet Adapter' class= network subclass = ethernet Note that the second NIC does not have a driver compiled for it in the kernel.

It will do just about anything you need, though it is a bitch to set up (umpteen interrelated config files need to be just right). But more importantly, it has lots of good documentation about cables and such. I found, for example, that the supposedly correct APC cable for my APC BackUPS (one of the semi-dumb ones) was actually missing a line. I made a custom cable, and walla! no more problem. Keep in mind, by the way, that the serial cable is not actually sending serial data (like ascii text, for example). It just raises and lowers the levels of various lines to signal various things. (I know you probably already know that, but just for completeness...) And finally, yes, even the dumb UPS's can sense and communicate the loss and return of AC power, at the very least.

My question is this: why does this happen? I can't seem to figure it out.
I've worked with many other people about this, and they don't seem to know.

going into single-user mode upon boot)

If all the tools you have are ports, installs the portupgrade port, then do a "portupgrade -af" to force an upgrade of all the ports. If you've installed things that aren't ports, you'll probably want to recompile those if they can be compiled. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Usually this is because you haven't specified the full path to the mount command. When you type the command at a shell prompt, you have a search path that is searched for the command. The webmin module probably doesn't do this, so you'll have to enter the full path. i.e.: /sbin/mount ass opposed to just "mount" You can use the "whereis" command to find the full path to the particular command you're trying to run. i.e. whereis mount will tell you what directory 'mount' is in.

dgen-sdl gives only blank sceen
Has anyone had luck with dgen-sdl? All I have ever gotten with it is a blank screen. I have tried it a number of times under several recent versions of FreeBSD, and it is always the same blank screen. A blank screen with no sound. (but sound is a secondary issue.) I have searched thr archives of questions and see no refernce to this problem. The port compiles fine, as far as I can tell. It seems to run fine when it is invoked, except for the blank screen. I can start it up or quit dgen without obvious error. I can press 'tab' to 'reset' the game, the function keys work, all with little text feedback from the otherwise blank screen. A ktrace of the process shows that dgen is indeed loading the ROM. (One of the ROMs that I have has a text intro, and that shows up just fine in the kdump. The process smoothly moves on beyond that. I think the ROM is loading fine.) Granted I only have tested dgen-sdl with a few ROMs, but since all of them give the same response, I believe that I simply have something misconfigured. Other sdl games work fine. I do not think it is a case of old packages, as I have a subscription to FreeBSD and often simply do a fresh install for major upgrades instead of just a buildworld. So more then once I have built the port from scratch with all current packages for a given branch. While I have had the same experience with various versions of FreeBSD and thus different port builds of dgen-sdl, but here is the current setup: # uname -a FreeBSD sutolux.ny.home 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #6: Fri Dec 20 13:00:45 EST 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/SUTOLUX i386 with: esound-0.2.29 libaudiofile-0.2.3 libiconv-1.8_2 gettext-0.11.5_1 gmake-3.80 imake-4.2.0_1 libgnugetopt-1.2 libtool-1.3.4_4 nasm-0.98.33,1 pkgconfig-0.13.0 sdl-1.2.4_1 Mesa-3.4.2_2 aalib-1.4.r5_1 svgalib-1.4.2_1 freetype2-2.1.2_1 expat-1.95.5 XFree86-libraries-4.2.1_4 dgen-sdl-1.22_1 cat /etc/X11/XF86Config Section "Module" Load"dbe" # Double buffer extension Option"omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Load"type1" Load"freetype" Load "glx" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/share/AbiSuite/fonts" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc101" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol""auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "laptopscreen" HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50-70 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Standard VGA" VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "Unknown" Driver "vga" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "builtin" Driver "neomagic" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "builtin" Monitor "laptopscreen" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1152 900 EndSubsection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Screen "Screen 1" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection - Marius M.

best method to upgrade 4.4 to latest?
I'd like to upgrade my system and I have a nervousness about the process. I would like to upgrade my XFree86, samba, smbfs_mount, Qt, GRASS, etc and have been trying to do this by cvsup and upgrading one at a time. Is it better to simply upgrade the entire system to the latest and greatest or upgrade one at a time? I currently have 4.4 and don't know if 4.7 or 5.0 would be better. The machine is my company server and if anything goes wrong, I'd be dead meat, which I'd rather avoid. Thanks, Jeff.

So what I want to do, is connect to my other comp with cd burner and that runs on WinXP. I was thinking of using shlight since It seems to work good. In Webmin under backup you can issue a command to perform before and after the backup. I tried to set it up to mount the windows command before the backup and umount it after, but that didn't work. I think the kernel didn't like that. If I do it manually it works fine. Usually this is because you haven't specified the full path to the mount command. When you type the command at a shell prompt, you have a search path that is searched for the command. The webmin module probably doesn't do this, so you'll have to enter the full path. i.e.: /sbin/mount ass opposed to just "mount" You can use the "whereis" command to find the full path to the particular command you're trying to run. i.e. whereis mount will tell you what directory 'mount' is in. Now is there another/better way of doing what I want to do? I was also thinking about using Cron to issue the commands. A script might do it, but I don't know anything about writing sripts. It's not as hard as you might think. For example, the following script is a good template for what you're trying to do: #!/bin/sh /sbin/mount_nfs 172.16.0.1:/remote/drive /mnt/temp /bin/cp -Rp /path/to/backup /mnt/tmp/. /sbin/umount /mnt/temp Of course, you'll want to substitute the mount command that you need (which may be at a different location) and the specific stuff you want to back up, etc. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Problem: Galeon2 spawning mutiple times on startup...
Hello everyone. I have a small problem. I've tried looking on the www.freebsd.org/gnome site, the Galeon site, and searching google, but I've had no luck. I've installed FreeBSD 4.7 on my Athlon. Then I CVSUP'd ports and source, with my source coming from STABLE. I rebuilt the kernel, then installed Gnome2 and Gnome2-Fifth-Toe from ports. Everything built fine. I tweaked my XF86Config to put 100dpi fonts first, set my .xinitrc to export GDK_USE_XFT=1 and start gnome-session...and then tried to run stuff. Gnome starts up great. Most apps work perfectly. Galleon, however, seems to have a problem. I click on the menu item, and the program begins...and begins...and begins...it keeps repeatedly spawning Galleon windows. Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone point me to a solution somewhere? Thanks! Andy Akins To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Re: Official configuration file backup/managing method/application?
Janine C.Buorditez wrote: More specific than this list of files I need to manage, one can hardly get ;x The `FILES' is required by the script at the URL below. But I'd like some other way. Basicly I need to keep all these files backed up and centralized. Now that 5.0-RELEASE is available, this becomes especially important. For the "centralize backup" I've used rsync to a central backup server. For config files, you only need to recursively backup /etc and /usr/local/etc, so it's not terribly difficult or complicated. Loose scripts are scripts like these: http://www.dnaco.net/~vogelke/Software/Configuration_Management/System_Files/ Quite an interesting script. I find the concept of using RCS a good one, but I still think you'd be sane to just keep everything in /etc and /usr/local/etc backed up/under RCS. I don't know of any "more convenient" method for this. So perhaps my answer is "No, there isn't anything better". But I'm reluctant to say that because I still don't fully understand what you're asking for. Do you want to keep revision control, but find the method presented at the URL to be too difficult? What exactly to you mean by "manage"? Personally, I've been happy with most servers using rsync to keep updated versions on a partition that regularly gets backed up to tape, but I can certainly imagine some people needing/wanting something more sophistocated, such as RCS. Well, convenience is a matter of opinion. Personally, I prefer config files to some methods provided by other systems. What methods, and what systems? Specifically, I find the Windows registry to be a hellhole of configuration. It's made even worse by the plethora of applications that don't use it as it was intended (AutoCAD, for example) but even if they did, I still find it awful. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

If you read the man page carefully, you'll see that "undelete" only undelete's files that have been undeleted in a union fs.

The computer gets three signals: On battery power, off battery power, and almost out of battery. The computer can send one signal to the UPS, telling it to turn off and stay off. The idea is that you use the last signal from the UPS to initiate a shutdown, and the last thing you do as you shut down is tell the UPS to go off and stay off. I have as yet to figure out how to get FreeBSD to signal the UPS to shut down in a safe way. Anyone else worked on this one? Maybe in 5.0? http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

It's not quite clear what you're talking about. The configuration files in /etc are the official way to manage configuration. If you're referring to them as the "loose scripts", then you're out of luck for something official. For something unofficial, you might look at the sysutils/webmin port. If you're referring to having loose scripts to manage those files, then again there's nothing official.

linux_base upgrade problem
I'm having problems upgrading to linux_base-7.1_2 using portupgrade -rRa with the package (pkgtools.conf USE_PKG_ONLY[]). I had similar problems with the last upgrade, which I solved by removing all the ports with a dependency on linux_base before upgrading. This time when the upgrade failed I ran pkgdb -F, removing dependencies for linux_base without understanding too much of what was going wrong. pkg_info shows that linux_base is no longer installed. In a attempt at fixing the problem I deinstalled 3 ports that I believe depend on linux_base (since 'pkg_info -R linux_base\*' no longer shows any dependencies): acroread4, linux-openmotif But I still have 3 files hanging around: /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib: libMrm.so.2 libUil.so.2 libXm.so.2 Moving these files out the way had no effect. I noticed that the packages +INSTALL script did not have execute permissions. I re-packaged the tarball with the correct permissions, but still no joy. # portinstall -vf linux_base ---> Session started at: Mon, 20 Jan 2003 13:59:56 + ---> 2 ports match the given pattern 'linux_base': emulators/linux_base emulators/linux_base-6 Install 'emulators/linux_base'?

RE: KVM Switches over IP ...
I've seen one similar in action...a client I worked for had a 16 port (I think) Raritan KVM switch in his server room with a fiber expansion card, and ran a fiber line to his office which was in a trailer. It worked just like you were sitting at the console. REALLY expensive, but it worked well. I'd imagine their IP based ones are fairly similar...but for stuff like that, I'd say go with Raritan since from past experience they tend to have the best high end KVMs. --Brian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Marc G.

Wit ha bunch of caveats (you're using NAT, both lines terminate in the FreeBSD server, you only care about outgoing traffic, the IP's you have on both lines are in a nice contigious mini subnet, etc) you could probably do somethign like this using IPF's ipnat: map rl1 internal.ip.net.work/24 -> external.sub.net.block/30 portmap tcp/udp auto (See http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.html#TOC_31 for more details). - Tillman -- "You should never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die." -- Fremen saying To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

RE: round robin routing - how?
I have something similar working with a Squid cache performing the load balancing. Just set it up to have two upstream caches, then set two static routes - one that says traffic to upstream cache 'A' goes through the first adsl link, and cache 'B' should pass through the other. Seems to work ok for http/ftp traffic (anything that Squid handles)... but any extra traffic will all go through one nominated default route. (But if anyone can point me in the direction Rob wants to go, I would really appreciate that). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rob O'Donnell Sent: Monday, 20 January 2003 7:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: round robin routing - how? Hi there! I've had a good google for this, but not come up with anything significant... My LAN has two available route to the internet - a FreeBSD box with an ADSL modem, (192.168.0.9) and a hardware ADSL router (192.168.0.10) . Two seperate ADSL lines, both the the same ISP as it happens (though am moving one of them shortly.) I can set up the clients individually with one or the other address as default gateway, and each has full access to the 'net at the maximum bandwidth of one line. Is it possible under FreeBSD to set up some sort of round-robin router - I have another hardware ADSL router available, and am not adverse to sticking a couple more network cards in the FreeBSD box if necessary - what I was envisaging was the FreeBSD machine is default gateway for all clients on the lan, and it then routes out to the 'net via either hardware router - so any clients that wants faster bandwidth can get it, as long as they use multiple connections and don't expect any one of them to go over the 512K of one ADSL line. Basically, I want something that does the same job as the Nexland pro800 turbo: http://www.nexland.com/turbo.cfm I've seen references to ng_one2many, but the examples look like they tie multiple adapters together such that they operate as one adapter with one address on one LAN - would this work if i link two adapters directly and independently to two routers and set them up identically? I've also seen references that (at least some versions of) Linux can have multiple default gateways and just use them in sequence. I don't want to have to swap over though...

Stone, > Administrator Thanks for the replies, guys; I really appreciate it. :) The BackUPS 350 CS is not supposed to be truly 'dumb', but allegedly can report power-failure over its cable. So, I ran "apctest", and a line change of sorts IS noted: -- 2003-01-20 11:32:31 apctest 3.8.5 (4 January 2002) freebsd Checking configuration ... Select test number: 1 2003-01-20 11:21:22 IOCTL GET: 5 LE RTS 2003-01-20 11:21:32 Test 1: normal condition, completed. Select test number: 3 For the third test, the serial cable should be plugged back into the UPS, but the AC power plug to the UPS should be DISCONNECTED. Please enter any character when ready to continue: 2003-01-20 11:23:10 IOCTL GET: a5 LE RTS CTS RNG 2003-01-20 11:23:20 Test 3: no power, completed. -- Apparent, CTS changes state. Dunno what RNG does (alarm?), but CTS should suffice. Hmm, that kinda makes me wonder, is there not a FreeBSD command I can issue myself, via cron or something, to test the state of CTS? Then I may not need apcupsd at all. Thanks for your continual help, - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Good ethernet cards can attempt to transmit a packet before the local system has actually written all of the data to them. If the local system fails to produce the data quickly enough, though, the card experiences a buffer underflow...which means about the same as it does when you burn a CD; it has to abort and resend the packet. The driver is smart enough to notice this, and will try to compensate by buffering more data before sending the packet out (ie, the "start threshold"), so that the machine has more time to finish generating the packet. This is also a situation where device polling might be quite helpful. -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
round robin routing - how?
Hi there! I've had a good google for this, but not come up with anything significant... My LAN has two available route to the internet - a FreeBSD box with an ADSL modem, (192.168.0.9) and a hardware ADSL router (192.168.0.10) . Two seperate ADSL lines, both the the same ISP as it happens (though am moving one of them shortly.) I can set up the clients individually with one or the other address as default gateway, and each has full access to the 'net at the maximum bandwidth of one line. Is it possible under FreeBSD to set up some sort of round-robin router - I have another hardware ADSL router available, and am not adverse to sticking a couple more network cards in the FreeBSD box if necessary - what I was envisaging was the FreeBSD machine is default gateway for all clients on the lan, and it then routes out to the 'net via either hardware router - so any clients that wants faster bandwidth can get it, as long as they use multiple connections and don't expect any one of them to go over the 512K of one ADSL line. Basically, I want something that does the same job as the Nexland pro800 turbo: http://www.nexland.com/turbo.cfm I've seen references to ng_one2many, but the examples look like they tie multiple adapters together such that they operate as one adapter with one address on one LAN - would this work if i link two adapters directly and independently to two routers and set them up identically? I've also seen references that (at least some versions of) Linux can have multiple default gateways and just use them in sequence. I don't want to have to swap over though...

that seems to only support the newer printers, like the Stylus

I got a "this driver is not installed" when I tried to use the omni
driver. Looks like it's only available for Linux?
