I've done this previously with another server, but I can't seem to get it to work this time. If I turn off password encryption, then I pass all the tests in the DIAGNOSIS file, but Win2k obviously won't allow the connection without encrypted passwords. If I turn encryption on, I pass any test that doesn't involve a password. Did you change the registry entry on you win2k machine (i.e. did you apply /usr/local/share/doc/samba/Registry/Win2000_PlainPassword.reg)? Thanks for responding, but I need a more secure solution. The point of setting up a samba password file is to avoid sending passwords in plain text. I was able to pass encrypted passwords in the earlier version of Samba. There should be a way of doing it with this version. What I'm hoping is that the ENCRYPTION file that was dropped from this port (or this version, whichever) was replaced with another file that documents how encrypted passwords are currently handled. Since the sh script mentioned in the ENCRYPTION file has been replaced with the undocumented make_smbpasswd file, I'm hoping that there actually is some documentation that explains it all, as the ENCRYPTION file once did. The documentation included with the port doesn't do the trick, and the tests in the DIAGNOSIS file seem to indicate that I've got everything except the encrypted passwords set up correctly. Google hasn't led to anything, nor has searching the archives. Alternately, if someone who has set up encrypted passwords successfully using the old instructions would let me know, that would help also. Knowing that I'm an idiot would give me a more accurate basis for proceeding. I don't know how helpful this will be, because I didn't follow through on it, but among the docfiles is one that talks about modifying /etc/pam.conf so that for certain categories of login pam uses the smbpasswd program to authenticate. It seems NT/Win2K/etc. use a cryptographic protocol that's inconsistent with the rest of the world (setting the industry standard ;-) ). Ah, take a look at /usr/local/share/doc/samba/htmldocs/PAM-Authentication-And-Samba.html. I found it hard to understand and the pam man page even worse. I played with it once because I was getting so many pam authencication errors, but I got scared and in the next upgrade I just overwrote my edited pam.conf with the vanilla distribution one and dropped back to plain-text passwords. I'm still using Win98, too. Hope this helps. -- Roger ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Using pw adduser to set password in a script
I'm attempting to use pw adduser to add a new user to the system and would like confirmation that the following is the correct way to set the user's password at the same time: echo password | \ pw adduser -q -h - -u user -g group -s shell -d /home/user -c comment Can anyone also tell me the security implications of doing this, given that the command is executed from a within a script (actually php but this is more-or-less irrelevant)? Is there a better way to do this using file descriptors as described in the man page for pw?: -h fd This option provides a special interface by which interac- tive scripts can set an account password using pw. Because the command line and environment are fundamentally insecure mechanisms by which programs can accept information, pw will only allow setting of account and group passwords via a file descriptor (usually a pipe between an interactive script and the program). sh, bash, ksh and perl all pos- sess mechanisms by which this can be done. Alternatively, pw will prompt for the user's password if -h 0 is given, nominating stdin as the file descriptor on which to read the password. Note that this password will be read only once and is intended for use by a script rather than for interactive use. If you wish to have new password confir- mation along the lines of passwd(1), this must be imple- mented as part of an interactive script that calls pw. If a value of `-' is given as the argument fd, then the password will be set to `*', rendering the account inacces- sible via password-based login.

Variable NFS mounts / firewall rules.
Hi, I have recently gotten around to setting up my laptop to play nicely with dhclient (not as easy as it sounds). I have a number of questions I should like to ask. I am going to provide a brief rundown of what I would like to know, and more detail, for those interested. 1. Why does dhclient.conf ``ignore'' the media directive? 2. Can I have /different/ NFS mounts, depending on the IP address dhclient assigns to me? 3. Can I have /different/ firewall rules, depending on the IP address dhclient assigns to me? And now for the more through version: Firstly, even though I specify ``media media 10base2/BNC'' in the correct manner in the /etc/dhclient.conf file, why does dhclient fail to switch the media to the BNC port? I have been searching through the dhclient-script file to no avail and the documentation is light on this issue. I have overcome the issue by putting ``/sbin/ifconfig ep0 media 10base2/BNC'' in /etc/start_if.ep0. Secondly, having been playing with the ``new'' /etc/rc.d stuff in 5-RELEASE I have started to wonder how I might go about setting up a nicely roaming laptop. When I'm at home I am assigned a static IP by the DHCP server, which serves as a way of determining my current location (although, if by chance I were assigned the same address by another DHCP server, I would run into troubles). When at home I want to have certain NFS mounts available to me (say, /usr/ports/distfiles and /usr/home.nfs). When I am roaming and there is no assigned address, I have /usr/home.ufs, which I want symlinked to /home to allow me to login. I synchronize /usr/home.ufs with the NFS home periodically. I have a local user account that I log on with whilst away from home. Previously, I did this with a nasty hack in /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks (a bit of grepping and gawking did the job to get the current IP, I compared it to what I was expecting then mounted exports accordingly). However, now that I have IPFIREWALL enabled this does not work, as the firewall rules are loaded /after/ dhclient-exit-hooks are executed (default to deny means there is no connectivity -- btw, how does dhclient communicate?) This led me to a second issue: while I am away, I want much more stringent firewall rules (i.e. deny almost all, allow me to establish out and allow DNS UDP requests). My question is therefore: is it possible that I could write either a) a new script to go in /etc/rc.d to perform different NFS mounting based on my ``location'' (i.e. IP address -- unless anybody else can think of a better, more robust way to do this (maybe some server checksum?)); or b) modify an existing script (probably mountcritremote?) to include this functionality. Regardless of which method might be chosen: would I use /etc/rc.conf to specify the options, or provide a custom configuration file in /etc that the new script would use? Furthermore, can the rc.firewall script be modified (or passed an argument) that causes different firewall rules to be loaded depending on my ``location'' (i.e. IP address, again)? If anybody can provide any insight into this problem, preferably with an idea of which files I might go modifying (please!) then I would do my best to come up with some solution which might be of benefit to others in a similar situation (if it exists).

To try to get the disk to re-allocate block 21364912, I would do: dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s2g seek=21364912 Note that this has a very high probability of ensuring that whatever data is now written to block 21364912 is different from what it had been; its only saving grace is that it is data that may possibly be readable Once you have done this for each block that was reported as CAN NOT READ: BLK , then re-run fsck. Because things are almost assuredly going to be inconsistent, you may wish to merely do fsck -y An alternate, and possibly faster approach would be to skip the fsck altogether, and just use newfs. Of course, that will obliterate any data you once had on the file system, and you would then need to reconstruct the data -- from backups or other sources. But then, you may well need to do that anyway, especially for files affected by the bad blocks. at this ponit i had to edit /etc/fstab and put /home as read only in order to bring system up and running.

vt/ansi codes
i am trying to develop terminal I/O based code, and found myself meandering down a path to acquire terminal knowledge (i don't need to be told of SLang/ncurses/...). i can't readily find an answer to this, but i am assuming DEC terminals don't scroll left/right? i've never used a terminal, so i wouldn't know. there are ANSI escape codes that would be great to use, but from the knowledge i have been able to acquire, it appears vtXXX stuff is a fairly lacking subset of ANSI 3.64 terminal display functions. there's many aspects of ANSI 3.64 that would make display updates over serial connections MUCH more efficient than using vtXXX only codes. any comments providing a better understanding about this would be appreciated - cuz i'd hate to write a bunch of inefficient code just to find out i *could* scroll left/right with an ANSI escape sequence, etc. my goal is to generate a minimal set of reliable cross-platform ANSI escape codes one can use without fear of incompatibility. maybe this is an impossibility - i dunno - but there are a few sequences that seem to permeate most data sheets. as i read that this ANSI stuff was done way back in 1979 - before i bought my Apple 2e, i can't help but gawk with disbelief as i find UNIX vtXXX terminal stuff to still be fairly primitive a quarter century later. i mean, an entire screen shouldn't have to be sent over a serial line just to move a cursor past the rightmost column in 2003 :) also, i assume: ioctl.h struct winsize, and termios.h struct termios are available in one form or another on most platforms? is the RAW termios state a cross-platform state? or is it a BSD specific state? thank you (please ditto any replies off-list). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello. I am using FreeBSD 4.8 for learning. I love it, is my operating system of choice. I have some problems however. I installed it on a system and after a while I decided I want it on another system too. But the first install was thru ftp and it was a big effort so I didn't want to ftp it again (and bother all those people) so I looked for a different solution. It came from one of you guys: dump and restore. I did this: I put the second harddrive in the system as secondary master and created a slice and partitions. The harddrives both had windows partitions on them so the source slice was /dev/ad0s2 and the destination slice was /dev/ad2s2. Then I mounted the partitions I wanted to fill up and for each one did a dump and a restore. For example, the /usr partition got this: #mount /dev/ad2s2g /mnt/s2/usr #dump -0uaf - /dev/ad0s2g | (cd /mnt/s2/usr; restore -rf - ) Now the system I just created has a problem which I hope you can help me with. The kernel fills up ttyv0 with messages like these: fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: device timeout fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: SCB timeout: 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xfff fxp0: DMA timeout and they keep on coming Now I don't think it's a hardware problem, the two systems are absolutely the same and I didn't have any problems before (with windows).

FreeBSD as NAS
Hello, We are considering to buy some NAS solution (Dell). We chose PowerVault 775N + PowerVault 220S (SCSI array). But then I realized, whether it would be possible use some cheaper server (e.g. PowerEdge 1650 SCSI) with FreeBSD instead of Windows powered 775N. The pros and cons of FreeBSD based solution: + cheaper + more reliable (my oppionion) + have more experiences with this OS + can be configured as one wish - not all feautures of Windows (snapshot copy, backup utilities) - correct hardware support (is 1Gbit/s network working correctly?, hotswaping, RAID controller) Protocol support is probably the same (we need just NFS and SMB). It will be used for users' data (home directories). What is your opinion? Does it make sense?

I've done this previously with another server, but I can't seem to get it to work this time. If I turn off password encryption, then I pass all the tests in the DIAGNOSIS file, but Win2k obviously won't allow the connection without encrypted passwords. If I turn encryption on, I pass any test that doesn't involve a password. I created the password file with make_smbpasswd. I also tried importing a password file used with an earlier version of Samba, and editing the usernames and user ids. There is no ENCRYPTION file included with this port, and I can't find any other instructions for setting up the password file. I've googled and searched, and can't find anything that goes beyond what I already know. If someone could point me to instructions for setting this up, I'd be grateful. Bob Hall Hi Bob, I'm using Samba 3.0 (the samba-devel port) and I'm not sure this is all 100% true for older versions, but these tips may be useful anyway: - Use 'swat' instead of writing the Samba config file by hand. You'll need to uncomment the relevant line at the end of /etc/inetd.conf, HUP inetd, then just point your browser at http://sambaserver:901/ Trust me, it makes life a lot easier :-) - make_smbpasswd will create entries in the smbpasswd file for all of your local users, but they won't have valid SMB passwords (there's no way of getting from an encrypted UNIX password to an encrypted SMB password). You'll need to run 'smbpasswd user' (as root) for all the users you want to have SMB logins, to give them valid SMB passwords. Keeping these in sync with the UNIX passwords is a whole other game (see my other message in this thread). You probably also want to delete the system accounts from smbpasswd -- either use 'smbpasswd -x user' or just edit the lines out by hand. - I find it easier to test things with 'smbclient' until I'm sure everything is working, before bothering with Windows clients. I've attached my smb.conf (as generated by swat) which is working fine for me, with encrypted passwords and SMB - UNIX password sync.

Racoon with Raptor
Hi all,
I'm setting up a VPN between a FreeBSD box and a raptor box. I'm having
some issues with racoon not exchanging keys correctly though.
I'm getting the following error when I run racoon in the foreground:
2003-07-01 11:05:58: ERROR: isakmp.c:1776:isakmp_chkph1there(): phase2
negotiation failed due to time up waiting for phase1. ESP
213.xx.xx.226-213.xx.xx.135
226 is the Raptor machine and 135 is our FreeBSD machine.
The raptor admin has said to use md5 as the hash algorithym and des as
the encryption algo. I have the following in my config file:
proposal {
encryption_algorithm des;
hash_algorithm md5;
authentication_method pre_shared_key;
dh_group 2 ;
}
sainfo anonymous
{
pfs_group 1;
lifetime time 10 min;
encryption_algorithm des;
authentication_algorithm hmac_md5;
compression_algorithm deflate ;
}
I've tried aggressive, main and base as my exchange mode.
Anyone got any ideas about this ?
Thanks,

cd drive problems when trying to play an audio cd on 5.1
I have recently got sound working on my system and wanted to listen to an audio cd when I ran xmms and seleted /cdrom as my directory. The playlist on the cd shows up and when i try playing a track it starts as if it is but i get no sound. I thought it might have been the sound so i got a mp3 from a peer on irc and played it back and the sound working. I also notice the drive does not spin and the light remains solid. here is a look at my /etc/fstab file: # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b none swapsw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1e /tmpufsrw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd1 /cdrom1 cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 also here are my boot messages: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

Hi,
I have recently gotten around to setting up my laptop to play nicely
with dhclient (not as easy as it sounds). I have a number of questions
I should like to ask. I am going to provide a brief rundown of what I
would like to know, and more detail, for those interested.
1. Why does dhclient.conf ``ignore'' the media directive?
2. Can I have /different/ NFS mounts, depending on the IP address
dhclient assigns to me?
3. Can I have /different/ firewall rules, depending on the IP address
dhclient assigns to me?
[ ]
No complete solution, just a few ideas to look into:
1. http://www.freebsd-support.de/misc/setnetparm/
I've never had the chance to use it myself, but it might help.
2. Use the automounter to mount NFS volumes on-demand. This way you will
not have to worry about mounting until you actually need to access the
volume. See amd(8).
3. ipfw supports the me keyword, to flexibly refer to your currently
assigned IP address.
4. Just in case it might help you, here is my /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks:
# nothing to do unless we're bound
case ${reason} in
BOUND | RENEW | REBIND | REBOOT )
if [ -n ${new_domain_name_servers} ]; then
if [ -z ${old_domain_name_servers} ] || [ x${old_ip_address} !=
x{$new_ip_address} ]; then
[ -x /etc/refresh-named ] /etc/refresh-named
${new_domain_name_servers}
[ -x /etc/set-time ] /etc/set-time
fi
fi
;;
esac
You should be able to restart your firewall and pass it an argument for
the ruleset in this way.
5. For more variables that are passed to dhclient-exit-hooks, see
dhclient-script(8).
5. You can further run ifconfig commands in /etc/start_if.INTERFACE NAME
(for example /etc/start_if.fxp0 ).

Re: FreeBSD as NAS
The pros and cons of FreeBSD based solution: + cheaper + more reliable (my oppionion) + have more experiences with this OS + can be configured as one wish - not all feautures of Windows (snapshot copy, backup utilities) You can get most of this functionality with some clever scripting. - correct hardware support (is 1Gbit/s network working correctly?, hotswaping, RAID controller) I don't know about the nic, but I've had extremely good luck with the Dell RAID Cards on Linux. Usually once a driver comes out for a dell card on Linux, it's ported to BSD shortly afterward (aacraid for example). Protocol support is probably the same (we need just NFS and SMB). It will be used for users' data (home directories). What is your opinion? Does it make sense? It makes perfect sense if you want better uptimes, less hassle, and a better performing OS.

Re: vt/ansi codes
I wonder with this is really relavent to FreeBSD questions. But in any case here is my 2 cents worth. On Tue, 1 Jul 2003 16:59, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i am trying to develop terminal I/O based code, and found myself meandering down a path to acquire terminal knowledge (i don't need to be told of SLang/ncurses/...). Have you looked at termcap and terminfo, which of course underpin curses/ncurses. i can't readily find an answer to this, but i am assuming DEC terminals don't scroll left/right? i've never used a terminal, so i wouldn't know. there are ANSI escape codes that would be great to use, but from the knowledge i have been able to acquire, it appears vtXXX stuff is a fairly lacking subset of ANSI 3.64 terminal display functions. there's many aspects of ANSI 3.64 that would make display updates over serial connections MUCH more efficient than using vtXXX only codes. any comments providing It doesn't really matter what standards might be defined; the important issue is what functions commonly available terminals and terminal emulations have. a better understanding about this would be appreciated - cuz i'd hate to write a bunch of inefficient code just to find out i *could* scroll left/right with an ANSI escape sequence, etc. my goal is to generate a minimal set of reliable cross-platform ANSI escape codes one can use without fear of incompatibility. maybe this is an impossibility - i dunno - but there are a few sequences that seem to permeate most data sheets. There are an enormous variety of terminals and terminal emulations which have very little in the way of a common subset of functions. If you must use one common subset then you had best stick to VT100, I guess that will get you into between 1/3 and 2/3 of the terminals and emulations out there. Unix and same other OS have dealt with the problem by using databases of terminal information - termcap and/or terminfo - so that terminals with different control sequences can be managed by the same software and the software doesn't need prior knowledge of the specific control codes. as i read that this ANSI stuff was done way back in 1979 - before i bought my Apple 2e, i can't help but gawk with disbelief as i find UNIX vtXXX terminal stuff to still be fairly primitive a quarter century later. i mean, an entire screen shouldn't have to be sent over a serial line just to move a cursor past the rightmost column in 2003 :) In 1979 to send a full screen of say 2000 characters took perhaps 1 to 5 minutes, now in a similar situation we commonly send that in 20 to 100 milliseconds so the problem of dealing with different standards is largely circumvented by using less in the way of fancy functions and instead just redrawing the screen. Now-a-days graphic displays generally get more attention (not that I think this is necessarily good) and means of updating these with respect to the available bandwidth is receiving considerable attention. also, i assume: ioctl.h struct winsize, and termios.h struct termios are available in one form or another on most platforms? is the RAW termios state a cross-platform state? or is it a BSD specific state? thank you (please ditto any replies off-list).

I use start_if.ep0 to set the media for my network card. Does this get
re sourced after dhclient has done it's magic? I was under the
assumption that it got executed /before/ dhclient, and would therefore
be of little use to set variables based on the output of dhclient... ?

Using a RAID-card with FreeBSD
Hi all, This might be kind of a newbie question - I apologize for that. This is my first time I use a hardware RAID card on a server. I was wondering if there are any issues with FreeBSD (4.8R) regarding these cards? Will FreeBSD see the RAID1 as a single hard drive that I just need to partition and label? And if I need to replace a failed hard drive in the RAID array I assume the card will do the rebuilding of the array while FreeBSD will function as normal even when I need to reboot the machine? I checked that the card I intended to use (Promise FastTrak TX2) is supported by FreeBSD so I don't assume any problems installing FreeBSD either.

Throttled ethernet connection
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-Stable with ipfw, dummynet and ipsec enabled in the kernel but bypassed via config/not being used for the moment. I'm using this machine as a router between my local network and a WAN, with a 3com905c-tx ethernet card and an Avaya 802.11b wifi card. I've just built this machine over the past two or three days and have encountered a problem with the ethernet side of the network. When i upload or download from the machine with proftpd or apache over the ethernet network (100mbit switched) im being limited to 50K/sec or less. If i start two ftp downloads or have an ftp and httpd download going, the 50K/sec is divided between the two connections, slowing both to about 25K/sec. I can transfer fine over the 802.11b network card, with no throttling appearing (upload/download rates of ~ 500K/sec). I can ftp over the WAN - through this router machine - and download or upload from the WAN at a fine speed with no apparent throttling appearing (again ~500K/sec achieved), which rules out damage to the cabling etc. Im completly stumped as to whats causing this, any help would be appreciated.

This gives you a whole bunch of MS-DOS style commands, except with an 'm' prepended to the name, which let you access the floppy drive but without having to mount it first. Eg. you can do: % mdir a: If you are using a non-DOS floppy or you really need to mount the floppy for some other reason, then you're going to have to tell mount(8) all of the information it needs. There's two ways to do that: either on the mount(8) command line, or by making an entry in /etc/fstab. Eg. to mount a read-only floppy with a msdos filesystem on it as /mnt: # mount -t msdos -o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt Note that: a) you usually have to have superuser privilege to run mount(8) or umount(8). You can either install the sudo(8) port and generate the appropriate configuration there, or you can set the vfs.usermount sysctl to a non-zero value. See mount(2), sysctl(8) for details, but note that setting vfs.usermount potentially opens up a nasty security hole, so you should understand exactly what you are doing if you decide to do that. b) You have to remember to unmount the floppy before you eject it from the drive. Not doing that has undesirable effects. Similarly, if the floppy has the write protect tab set, you have to tell the system to mount it read-only. Unfortunately, the system can't actually detect that the disk is write protected automatically. Even worse, if you mount a unix format RO floppy using RW flags, even if you do nothing more than read files from the disk, the system will hang when you try and unmount the disk because the system will try and update the 'last mounted on' entry on the disk. (Solution is to pop the floppy out, toggle the write protect tab and put the disk back smartly so the write can complete). Oh -- editing files on such a disk will apparently work because the system will hold the whole 1.44Mb disk image in cache. Changes will be flushed to disk eventually, or when you try and unmount it.

Re: Using a RAID-card with FreeBSD
Johan Paul wrote: Hi all, This might be kind of a newbie question - I apologize for that. This is my first time I use a hardware RAID card on a server. I was wondering if there are any issues with FreeBSD (4.8R) regarding these cards? Will FreeBSD see the RAID1 as a single hard drive that I just need to partition and label? And if I need to replace a failed hard Yes, it just sees a single ordinary drive. drive in the RAID array I assume the card will do the rebuilding of the array while FreeBSD will function as normal even when I need to reboot the machine? Yes, the RAIDing is completely transparent to the OS. You don't even have to reboot the machine if the disks are hot-swappable. Just pull the dead one out, install the new one, and the controller will bring it up to speed. RAID-1 is much faster to rebuild than RAID-5 (just a casual observation; I'm not sure if that's a hard-and-fast rule). I checked that the card I intended to use (Promise FastTrak TX2) is supported by FreeBSD so I don't assume any problems installing FreeBSD either. Thanks for any answers :-) you're welcome.

but when I
run them, I get errors about being unable to find files.
Here's and
example:
blacklamb# ./courier-imap-imapd.sh.sample start
.: Can't open /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl: No

I assume this has to do with the files not being installed
where the

file:
The courier-imap port is not as friendly as many other ports.
It stumped
me for a while too. Finally I saw and actually read the
last message
the make process emitted (from the tail end of
/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap/Makefile):
I re-ran portupgrade and specifically looked for some sort of
message like this but apparently I missed it. Thanks for
pointing this out.
@${ECHO_MSG}
@${ECHO_MSG} You will have to run ${DATADIR}/mkimapdcert to
create @${ECHO_MSG} a self-signed certificate if you want
to use imapd-ssl. @${ECHO_MSG} And you will have to copy
and edit the *.dist files to * @${ECHO_MSG} in ${CONFDIR}.
@${ECHO_MSG}
Believe this will get you going:
% su
# cd /usr/local/etc/courier-imap
# cp -p imapd-ssl.dist imapd-ssl
# cp -p imapd.dist imapd
# cp -p authdaemonrc.dist authdaemonrc
After copying the following I edited it for my location just
in case I
ever used x509 certificates:
# cp -p imapd.cnf.dist imapd.cnf
and for POP3 (I don't use):
# cp -p pop3d.dist pop3d
# cp -p pop3d.cnf.dist pop3d.cnf
# cp -p pop3d-ssl.dist pop3d-ssl
and finally:
# cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
# cp -p courier-imap-imapd.sh.sample courier-imap-imapd.sh
# sh courier-imap-imapd.sh start
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your instructions are
perfect and complete. I was able to run the startup script
without errors and see authdaemond.plai, couriertcpd, and
courierlogger in the ps output so I guess it's running.
The final thing which stumped me was Apple's Mail.app connecting to
courier-imapd ran an infinite loop of repeating connects because
~/Maildir was only a directory and did not contain cur/
new/ and tmp/
directories. See maildirmake(1). Unless you are using quotas
it doesn't
appear to be any different than ( umask 77; mkdir -p ~/Maildir/cur
~/Maildir/new ~/Maildir/tmp )
I ran maildirmake (as me, not root) in my home directory and
it made the Maildir and associated files. However when I
attempt to log in using an Outlook Express client (what I
have at work), the login fails.
I used to have courier-imap running but a hard drive failure
has left me rebuilding my whole system. I thought I had good
backups until I tried to restore them...but that's another
story. Anyway, my point is that because the OE client used
to work, I'm sure it's configured correctly and it's the imap
server that's not. So, is there a default log file? I used
to see imap messages in /var/log/maillog but I don't see any
now. How can I turn on logging? I've read the imapd man
page but have not seen anything. A quick search on Google
yielded no results either. I'm going to continue looking but
if you happen to know I'd really appreciate it.
It seems when I did this before, I had to edit something to
provide the right pam modules? I'm probably not saying it
right but it was something to do with pam.
The final requirement to allow logins was to add/edit these entries in
/etc/pam.conf:
# Mail services
imapauthrequiredpam_unix.so
try_first_pass
imapaccount requiredpam_unix.so
imapsession requiredpam_unix.so
pop3authrequiredpam_unix.so

Re: Stand-a-lone NAT PGM
I'm saying that the functionality you want already exists -- in a low-level library called libalias(3), or with a cleaner front-end called natd(8). What you're failing to understand is that NATD cannot run standalone' -- you have to have hook it into the TCP/IP stack somehow. For ppp(8) this is easy, since ppp is already hooked into your system's TCP/IP stack, and can easily run the packets through libalias(3) to achieve NAT functionality. For standard ethernet applications, a common approach is to use ipfw(8) with a single divert rule which redirects all TCP/IP traffic from the TCP/IP stack, through the natd(8) front-end to libalias(3), and then back into the TCP/IP stack. The overhead of ipfw with a single divert rule is very low. The overhead of IPFITLER/IPNAT is even lower. I'm not sure exactly what performance problem you're trying to overcome. -- Matt Emmerton Are you saying I can run NATD as a stand-a-lone function?

ssh keepalives
I'm having a problem with premature termination of ssh sessions after an idle period of a few minutes, getting a connection reset by peer message. I presume this is due to intermediate stateful firewalls closing the connection when no traffic passes for a period of time. In the past I've addressed this issue when I have control of the destination host, by including the following parameters in sshd_config: ClientAliveInterval 30 ClientAliveCountMax 4 However in this case I don't have control over the destination. It's a self-contained network device. man 5 ssh_conf says that KeepAlive is the default with ssh. Is there any other tactic I can use to keep these connections from closing after a few minutes of inactivity? Currently on FreeBSD 4.8-stable with OpenSSH_3.5p1 -- Philip J.

FreeBSD 4.x and earlier does not have any support for those tricks so it cannot use more than 4 GB of RAM.

Diskless Operation Question
I have a dedicated FreeBSD 5.1 server, and I am experimenting with a WinXP /
diskless-FreeBSD dual boot workstation.
I have followed the instructions in the handbook and I get to a point that
makes me think I have done somthing wrong with my diskless kernel.
The workstation boots with an etherboot floppy, finds the dhcp server and
downloads the kernel from NFS. It seems to contemplate loading the kernel for
about 5 seconds then reboots.
I have seen postings in the archives about recompiling the kernel with the
proper CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf.
I have tried this and it makes no difference.
The only thing I have been considering is that I have a bunch of modules that
were compiled installed w/o CPUTYPE=p3, as they were imported with
clone_root.
So the only solution I can think of is to recompile/install these modules with
the proper CPUTYPE, but I'm not sure how to have make installkernel put the
modules / kernel in /misc/diskless/boot instead of /boot?
I won't need to do this with userland, will I? This would make diskless
operation impossible for my situation.
Below is a more detailed breakdown of what I am trying to do and some pieces
of my config files.

Losing header in postscript document
I'm trying to print a copy of cvsbook.ps using KGhostView. Originally, my ghostview config was using -sDEVICE=x11, but I've also tried -sDEVICE=cdj550, because I have an HP560C. I'm also using CUPS and had quite a time getting it configured, but it does print. I try to print just page 6, because the headers are not being printed, and I've already killed to many trees... From KGhostView's print dialog, I expand it so I can select only the current page, and I enable print preview. The page looks good. The header is about a half inch from the top, and the first line is about an inch down. Setting margins seems to have no effect. When the document actually prints, the header is missing and the line that was at one inch is at a half inch. I think the header may have been cut off by the printer because it can't print with something like .33 of an inch from the top. Why aren't the margins being used? Why doesn't a .ps file just appear on paper as it does on the screen? Is there something else I need to install or configure? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
