samba(2.2.8) printer server (on 4.8-RELEASE)
Hi! I am trying to set up a printer server (SAMBA 2.2.8 package on 4.8 -RELEASE, printer is a Kyocera FS-3700+ laser printer) which should be accessible from Win2000 and WinNT4 workstations _without_ any authentication. These are the steps I have taken so far: 1. I used apsfilter to make the kyocera work locally as a postscript-printer called lp . 2. (Sorry - stupid me forgot to bring home a copy of smb.cfg over the weekend) I edited smb.cfg so that the printer-server and lp itself can be seen in Windows' network enviroment, i.e. I set security = share and put up a share called [printers] browseable = yes path = /var/spool/lpd/lp read only = yes printable = yes guest ok = yes and I # chmod -R 4777 /var/spool/lpd/lp 3. I used windows' printer setup to install the kyocera driver for lp 4. When I try to print something, everything looks fine from the client side and I can see some blinking of the printer-server's LED's but nothing more happens. The windows printer queue stays empty, no files are created in /var/spool/lpd/lp Any ideas, what could be done next?

Setting up a multi-platform VPN?
I am in business with a couple of friends of mine, and to that end we are sharing an office with a single high-speed DSL connection. We are using FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE, soon to be upgraded to -STABLE) as our gateway for the ineternal network, as well as serving e-mail, Web, etc. Some of us like to work at home sometmes, and in fact there are even days when NO ONE is in the office and we're all working from our various homes. To that end, we would like to be able to set up a VPN, so that those people who are working from home can access the office network directly. Now here's the problem: all of us are using different OS's. I use FreeBSD on my desktop, but sometimes I like to work on the couch, in which case I use my Titanium PowerBook running Mac OS X (which is of course based on FreeBSD). My boss uses OS X on his iBook, and my other friend uses a Linux box. Now, with my (admittedly virtually nonexistant) knowledge of VPN, I know that Linux boxen tend to use FreeSWAN. FreeBSD, on the other hand, seems to use something called RACOON. And lord knows what OS X uses (although, since it's FreeBSD based, maybe RACOON can be compiled/adapted to use on it too?) (although I just did a Google search, and according to this O'Reilly Network article, it seesm that OS X has its own built-in PPTP implementation: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/12/20/vpn.html) Can anyone more knowledgable than I help me figure out how to get this multi-platform VPN monster going?

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies l

panic: pmap_bootstrap: no local apic!
Hi there, I've just installed 4.8-Release on a PII-233 system, 130MB memory, Adaptec 2940 SCSI-2 controller with 2 IBM 4GB drives and one Toshiba CDROM. I CVsupped to the latest 4.8-Release, did a make world and rebuilt my kernel, with all necessary devices enabled (I'm almost positive.) After reboot, I find the following: Booting [kernel]... panic: pmap_bootstrap: no local apic! mp_lock = 0007; cpuid = 0; lapic.id = Uptime: 0s I've found references to this error, with hints at a SCSI hardware problem, which is unlikely, as it detected and installed flawlessly (and the boot blocks are OK, as this machine had Windows NT boot manager working fine before), as well as problems with HTT in the kernel config, which is more likely, although I have HTT, APIC, and SMP enabled in the kernel. Funny thing is, I can no longer boot from CDROM (haven't changed anything in the BIOS since installing from CD). I can stop the boot process and run most boot loader commands, but 'unload kernel' gives me the same error, which completely locks up the machine. I can list devices, but am not allowed to unset the boot device and change it to CD. I would much appreciate any advice on how to go about tracking this down.

PC cards on vaio PCG-705
I am having problems getting 802.11b and ethernet PC cards to work on vaio pcg-705. It looks like that cards can be set up and controlled from the machine, and sometimes they can transmit, but data never gets in. This could obviously be an IRQ problem, but it doesn't seem so as dmesg does not complain. As I have no means of communicating with the autistic laptop, no dmesg is included :-) Short history of release behaviour (all stable major releases): 4.4, 4.7 and 4.8 will not boot - spontaneous reboot shortly after loading kernel from CD. 5.0 and 5.1 boot and install fine. OLDCARD on 5.1 cannot be compiled at all, there are unresolved globals. OLDCARD compiles fine on 5.0. 5.1 (NEWCARD): Sees and sets up NETGEAR MA401 (wi driver), including wep password. However, the card status never gets to "associated". The AP sees the card, though. Also recognises D-Link DFE-690TXD (rl driver). The card transmits to the point where other machines on the network properly top ARP for it (ie. the card's MAC appears with correct IP in other's ARP tables.) However, nothing comes back. 5.0 (OLDCARD) Same as above for MA401, but has "watchdog timeout" complaints in addition. I never got it to see DFE-690TXD (pccardd complains about "(null)" pccard ID). 5.0 NEWCARD - same as 5.1 NEWCARD. I tried (I think) all stuff I saw on maillists, usenet and assorted websites, about pccard.conf, kernel options, etc., although not in all possible combinations.

For some reason, certainly on my Dell, disabling SpeedStep throttles the CPU down to 1.2GHz on bootup, from its full 2.0GHz. Nothing the OS can do will change it. Enabling SpeedStep means that FreeBSD sees the full 2.0GHz. I've also heard about someone whose Dell had a broken BIOS, which meant that the CPU could never run at full speed, but was always running at 60%. Upgrading the BIOS was the solution in that case. -- Bruce Cran ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have not had any issue running a buildworld on my T30 on a hot day. (It hit 105 at my house yesterday and 103 at Lawrence Livermore about 3 miles away.) It runs at 1.8 GHz and takes under an hour to build CURRENT, about 35% longer than it took with STABLE. No 11s sighted. It does get HOT..too hot to really be a laptop unless you have well insulated pants, but within spec for temperature. (At least with ACPI running so that I can monitor the temperature.) The exhaust vent is blowing a strong stream of very warm air. I do see messages that the system is switching between performance and economy mode when I switch from AC to battery, but the CPU pays no attention and the speed stays unchanged under both APM and ACPI. :-( It sounds like something is very wrong with your T30. -- R.

I've got several boxes running thru a KVM switch and using the PS/2 protocol and use: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" EndSection I'm using ctwm, not KDE, but this ought have nothing to do with the mouse-at-top-of-screen.

What's "wrong" here is that the BIOS/ACPI firmware in your laptop runs your CPU at a reduced rate in order to make the battery last longer. Manufactureres have taken great care to not make it clear that the specs they give you are all reachable, _just_not_at_the_same_time_. You may be able to twiddle things in the BIOS or using ACPI and get faster CPU but less battery lifetime. It can also be that the case that the "cooling solution" (ie: fans, fins etc) does not work well enough and the ACPI code has slowed down the CPU in order to not melt anything [*]. In particular our ACPI code does not seem to always start fans when they should due to high temperatures.

The goal being to allow "developers" who want to use ASP because they are incapable of grasping perl/PHP/etc... to develop or migrate sites to our unix based servers. You are preaching to the choir as we use Perl/PHP to accomplish all our server based programing and scripting. Telling clients however that they need to migrate their code over to Perl/PHP just means we lose them to someone supporting windows/ASP.

I'm pretty certain teTeX uses some version of LaTeX2e -- it's been the 'standard' LaTeX for many years now. Probably you can just run 'latex' and it'll tell you what version it is. teTeX includes pretty much everything you're likely to need for TeX/LaTeX work. The only things I ever added were the LyX editor and a few fonts. LyX is a truly excellent program -- I used it to write my PhD dissertation, and laughed at the other people struggling to do theirs in Word :-) HTH, Scott ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

latex and latex2e
As mentioned before I installed the teTeX port and indeed got latex too. At least there was a symlink called that way ;-)) Reading about latex I noticed that there should be a modern variant in use called latex2. It also existst in ports. Has anybody a clue if (and why) the teTeX port uses another (less modern) latex? In other words: need I install the latex2e port too or should I just use the latex that came with the teTeX port? All further TeX questions will be addressed to the dutch mailing list on tex ;-)) but htis seems a "portconstruction" related to FreeBSD, so..

Re: building a routing machine
> Hi folks,
hi, man.

it not necessary at all!
set your default router in rc.conf (ask your University admin about its IP)
you just look at "sysctl -a net.inet.ip.forwarding"
if it equals "0" then "sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1"
(in rc.conf this variable is set by gateway_enable="YES")
then you need a natd
just "touch /etc/natd.conf" and edit it so that it contained something like
log yes
#log_denied yes
port 8668
use_sockets yes
same_ports yes
unregistered_only yes
alias_address ???.???.???.??? #your PUBLIC IP
###
#EOF
###
run natd "/sbin/natd -f /etc/natd.conf &"
edit /etc/rc.firewall to contain approximately the following
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo -n "Firewall... "
Flush All Chains And Pipes
/sbin/ipfw -q -f flush
/sbin/ipfw -q -f pipe flush
lo0 ###
/sbin/ipfw -q add 1 allow ip from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 via lo0
public #
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2 divert natd all from any to any in recv fxp0 #change
fxp0 to your NIC name
/sbin/ipfw -q add 3 divert natd all from any to any out xmit fxp0
#change fxp0 to your NIC name

# /sbin/ipfw -q add 65527 deny icmp from any to ${LocalNET}

/sbin/ipfw -q add 65530 deny log all from any to any ipopt rr

(this is a fragment of my ip.firewall which is too long to quote here...)
and execute the file (chmod 500 rc.firewall, you know, first... ;))
it should work. if not, ufff... than you will have to rebuild the FBSD
kernel with IPDIVERT, IPFIREWALL and things, and things, and things... and
repeat the said above...
I envy you if you're gonna do the kernel rebuid for the first time :) it's a
fascinating, absorbing and captivating procedure like playing chess with a
very strong chessplayer :)

nic on old hardware
Helo I got a p120 with 40mb ram, vxpro chipset pc. I had trouble booting from the cd, so i installed the os (freebsd 4.8) on the harddrive on another pc. when i placed the hdd in the p120, it doesn't want to pick up my nic, wich is in rl card, but i have tried dc cards as well. the pc does pick up the card in slot 3 with irq 11, but dmesg, or ifconfig shows nothing on it. if i do a cat /dev/pci it says that the device is not configured, but the vga card is also pci and works in al 4 slots. can anyone help me out with this please?
