Re: Problem(s) resolving names with natd/ipfw.
1. I would try enabling named on the FreeBSD gateway and set it as a forwarder to the DNS of my ISP. Then set all the clients' primary DNS to that of the internal IP of your gateway. 2. I would also not use OPEN firewall type. I would not be comfortable with it. 3. I would also take out the lines firewall_type and firewall_script from rc.conf and instead create a shell script in a startup_dir (eg /usr/local/etc/rc.d) and put all my ipfw rules in there and chmod it to be executable. I think the original /etc/rc.firewall awaits variables set in rc.conf eg firewall_type, etc. - Original Message - From: Jose Albores [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2003 12:57 PM Subject: Problem(s) resolving names with natd/ipfw. The problem summary is as follows: I'm setting up a very simple LAN at home using only two machines with fixed private ip addresses either. The FreeBSD gateway is connected to the internet through my cablemodem ISP's modem. The problem is that the Windows XP client CANNOT access the Internet with alphabetic names (should be called a DNS problem?) but it YES CAN do it with ip addresses (numbers). AFAIK (being a newbie in networking issues) it seems that no problems arise from the gateway side after setting up natd/ipfw. From the client, I can ping to numeric addresses locally and outside. And (again using ip-numbers) I can telnet to my pop server's 110 port. But not with names. The (gateway) server has NO problems with alphabetic addresses. Neither pinging the local network nor with the internet. Maybe I forgot some flag for natd in my /etc/rc.conf? Is/are there other option/s in my kernel-configuration file needeed? Any hint will be appreciated. Please feel free to ask for any necessary info. These are the details. It's my first job with networks, and the scenario is as follows: The server: · Pentium 233 MMX. · OS: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. Alternating with Win 98 for testing. · dc0: interfase to my cablemodem ISP. · vr0: interfase to my local network connected to a hub. The client: · AMD athlon xp 2.0 Ghz. · OS: Windows XP. Adding DNS servers to the network config in the client didn't solve the problem. BTW it's not necessary to add DNS entries when the server boots with Win 98 + Microsoft's ICS. On the server side, I built a new kernel with (all?) the necessary options: · The GENERIC kernel, adding: options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=200 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT The /etc/hosts file has three entries: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.homenet.org 192.168.0.1 daviddavid.homenet.org 192.198.0.2 goliath goliath.homenet.org My /etc/resolv.conf has been automagically generated when first configured the interfases. Maybe? it updates on every boot. And my networking-related lines in /etc/resolv.conf are as follows: --- Begin of /etc/rc.conf --- hostname=david.homenet.org # [...] chunking a few not-networking lines... ifconfig_dc0=DHCP ifconfig_vr0=inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway_enable=YES firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN firewall_script=/etc/my.rc.firewall #firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall ### did not work either!!! natd_enable=YES natd_interface=dc0 natd_flags= --- End of /etc/rc.conf --- The COMPLETE /etc/my.rc.firewall is extremely simple: --- Begin --- #!/bin/sh /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via dc0 /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any --- End --- Testing blindly the /etc/rc.firewall also did not work.

OpenGL software rendering
Hello, Has anyone tried OpenGL software rendering with Nate Robins tutorial programs located here: http://www.xmission.com/~nate/tutors/tutors.zip I get a black background and the menus seem to be working, but that's it. Sometimes the programs produce areas of randomly colored pixels. However, if I then load the kernel module for my graphics card (Voodoo 5 5500) and restart X so I get hardware acceleration then the programs produce appropriate output. Currently, I'm learning GL programming using software rendering because the dri voodoo driver has a problem with colormaps. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else experiences similar problems with software rendering.

firewall
Dear All, I'm having a hard time configuring a firewall. I ALMOST understand it, but I've run into one problem. I think I don't actually have my /etc/rc.firewall set up properly. Maybe I don't really understand what the ip setting should be, and I've made it the same as my net setting. Anyway, what I can say is that with the configuration I have, I can access my internal (ethernet) network, but ppp is totally blocked, which of course I don't want.

Re: Problems Compiling Apache with Mod_Perl and Mod_SSL

I have tried many, many ways to get mod_ssl and mod_perl to
compile on many servers, all with near same configurations,
with absolutely no luck.
That's funny. Works fine for me just compiling from ports. You need
to start by installing the apache13-modssl port: mod_ssl can't be
installed as a stand-alone module to load into plain apache, and
furthermore any other modules need to be compiled against the
apache13-modssl combination.
A very useful trick is to add:
APACHE_PORT=${PORTSDIR}/www/apache13-modssl
into /etc/make.conf, which convinces most apache related ports to
depend on the mod_ssl-ified apache.
All I can ever to get to compile is either just mod_ssl, just
mod_perl, and with same configurtation options, I can get it
to say and show and compile SSL and modperl, but httpd -l
shows no mod_perl ? only mod_ssl, or vice versa!
httpd -l only shows the *compiled in* modules, not the dynamically
loaded modules. My httpd with both mod_perl and mod_ssl produces:
% httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
Altho, when the above happens, apache's configure shows it
adding both SSL and ModPerl uses Config/End Config/Start,
normal stuff, and it even goes thro the directories for the
compile and has no errors.
If you can add mod_ssl or mod_perl configuration directives to
httpd.conf (outside any IfModule ../IfModule block and run
'apachectl configtest' without apache complaining, that means your
apache does have the required support.

I'm running samba (version: samba-2.2.8a) as a PDC on a network. I've just joined an IBM T21 WinXP Pro laptop to the domain, which went through okay, except for one unexpected factor: The T21's keymapping appears to be all crazy. By that, I'd refer you to keys U, I, O, P, J, K, L, : and M. All of these keys have alternate chars printed on them - for instance the P has * and O has a 6, and so on. Whenever a user logs onto the domain, these secondary chars appear to be the ones in use, and what you'd expect for P actually gets output as the * char. This happens regardless of the user that logs in, as long as its on the network, then those other chars appear to take precedence. This behaviour appears in all applications as well, from M$ Word to attempts at typing a url into the address bar in IE. If I didn't know any better, I'd almost want to suggest that the key mapping appears to be that of a regular PS/2 keyboard! Has anyone noticed anything like this?

Re: SHELL scripts..... HOW TO START LEARN????
Denis, Do you happen to know where is some helpful information about SHELL programming??? Others have posted some fine references; I'd like to belabor you with a piece of experience: There is a difference between writing shell scripts and writing shell programs. o A script is a series of commands as you might enter them at the keyboard. o A program is a sequence of commands that are composed with the same care that one would (or should) employ when programming in other languages; care regarding the ability of someone else to read and understand the program; care regarding one's own ability to read and understand it six months, or sixty months, later; care that inputs are validated and variables are used consistently, etc. Since shell programs invoke shell commands and pipelines, and since commands and pipelines of commands all use different argument syntaxes, it's very important to make sure that the person trying to read the overall flow doesn't get lost in the minutia. This requires that program organization be at least as good as the organization of a C or C++ program ten times the size of the shell program. Keep related computations together in groups, just as you put related sentences in order in a paragraph. It also requires more attention to naming what you are doing. If you have a pipeline constructed with arcane commands to do subtle and magical things, put it in a shell function and name it clearly. (If your shell does not support functions, switch to one that does. I like ksh , but bash is good too.) Use functions freely and test them independently of each other. (It's easier in the shell than in most programming languages.) Since most shells do not support structured data, you cannot use structs (or records, or classes) to describe your data layout. Comment your data accurately. This does not necessarily mean profusely. When you use a new variable in a function scope, use whatever the shell gives you to make sure that you are using a local instance, and not writing over a variable in an outer (dynamic) scope. There's lots more, but this will get you started. Mark Terribile __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Cyrus has it's own local mailer (cyrdeliver). That's fine with me, bu now all mail is droped into the INBOX. The only way to filter it is through an mailclient running under X. Does someone know of a good way to filter my incoming mail _not_ only to user.xxx but to his/her other (imap) mailboxes as well?

Q: mergemaster 'm'-merge option results in empty file
Hi, I'm trying to get grip of mergemaster. Either my logic is up-side-down or mergemaster is not so intuitive, but learning mergemaster seems a tough process for me. My problem now: # mergemaster -v This does some things, and then presents me a list of files that are only in my installed /etc directory. Ok, understand that.

E.g. I want to merge with my original /etc/hosts file, which has my own list of ips/hosts When typing 'm', I enter sdiff, which talks about a left and a right version, totally out-of-the-blue: %h l: use the left version r: use the right version e l:edit then use the left version e r:edit then use the right version e b:edit then use the left and right versions concatenated e: edit a new version s: silently include common lines v: verbosely include common lines q: quit What is left and right in the mergemaster context???

Soft shutdown when using power button with ACPI ...
Hello, my computer is running FreeBSD 5.1 and I would like to know how to configure FreeBSD to recognize when I press the power button to do a software shutdown. Actually, this computer was previously configured with Linux and under Linux, and there was a daemon that was listening for the ACPI buttons. Thus when I pressed the power button, it runs the configured command (ie : shutdown -h now). Under FreeBSD, when I press the power button, the system directly power off without doing any software shutdown. Is there any way to configure FreeBSD to do a soft shutdown when I press the power button ?

Aaron, First question you might want to answer is can I solve the relaying problem on the system I have now?

Our /etc/termcap now has all the entries from the XFree86 xterm

If you used TERM=xterm-color in the past you now should use
TERM=xterm. (xterm-color will lead to benign warnings).

I've tried a bit (I typed 'v' and 'q'), but then found /etc/hosts totally empty!! Any idea where I went wrong? 'sdiff' does a side-by-side comparison of two files, and lets you generate a file where some or all of those differences have been merged together. 'left' and 'right' in this context refer to the two columns that sdiff divides the screen into, where it shows you the blocks of lines that differ between the two files you're comparing. Perhaps an example is in order. Run these commands to get two different versions of the GENERIC kernel configuration from cvs: # cd /tmp # fetch -o GENERIC-CURRENT 'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC?rev=1.246.2.51.2.2content-type=text/plain' # fetch -o GENERIC-STABLE 'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC?rev=1.246.2.54content-type=text/plain' (As the names suggest, those are just the latest versions from the HEAD and RELENG_4 branches) Now, assuming you're in an xterm or similar, stretch the window until it is at least 160 characters wide. If you're in a fixed width window, substitute the width of the window for the number after '-w' below. It's clearer to see what's going on if you can use as wide a screen as possible. Now run: # setenv EDITOR=vi # sdiff -o GENERIC.n -s -w 160 GENERIC-STABLE GENERIC-CURRENT The first output you will see is: # $FreeBSD: /repoman/r/ncvs/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.246.2.54 2003/04/28 | # $FreeBSD: /repoman/r/ncvs/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.246.2.51.2.2 2003/0 % (Which probably won't make a lot of sense unless your mail client doesn't automatically wrap long lines and you happen to be reading this in a fairly wide screen) What this is doing is asking which $FreeBSD$ tag should go into the merged file. Choose 'l' for the left-hand version, which comes from GENERIC-STABLE. If you're in a narrow window, you probably can't see the difference between those two lines as it's too far over to be displayed. The next chunk looks like: # FireWire support device firewire# FireWire bus code device sbp # SCSI over FireWire (Requires scbus and da) device fwe # Ethernet over FireWire (non-standard!) % because the firewire support is only in the GENERIC-STABLE kernel config. Here, choose 'r' for the right hand version which comes from GENERIC-CURRENT.

Re: Problem(s) resolving names with natd/ipfw.
Just enabling named solved the problem. I only added two or three named_... entries from /etc/default/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf, changing NO for YES and nothing else. Even without modifying de default config files (named.conf and any other, eventually) the FreeBSD gateway began to forward name-requests without problems. But I'm almost sure that none of the documents I read said it was necessary to enable named in the gateway in order to resolve names. Maybe this should be added o I should recheck. Thank you very much. Your help was in fact extremely useful to me. I also prefer sometimes to perform a few tasks with my personals scripts and avoid the default programs doing them. As I review what I wrote it seems that I know what exactly the program does! Thanks again. -- José Albores - [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: 1.

RE: firewall
Your problem is that you are using the sample rules file provided by IPFW. You are correct, you do not understand what you are doing. You are suppose to edit the sample rules file to create your own rules file. That sample is only there as a starting point for you to build your own rules. You need to do a lot of reading about ipfw rules, check the man pages. I know that the FBSD handbook gives the reader the impression that IPFW is the only firewall available to FBSD, but that is a false impression. FBSD has IPFILTER which is also a built in firewall like IPFW and the netbsd firewall IPF has been ported to FBSD so there other options. I have used both IPFW and IPFILTER, IPFW's keep state rules do not function correctly on a DSL or cable internet connection, it has just been upgraded in FBSD 5.2 with a lot fluff that does nothing but confuses the general user. For a newbe, you should use IPFILTER firewall. It's rules are documented to all most anyone with some knowledge can write rules unlike IPFW. Here is my IPFILTER environment config.

Problems trying to boot from an 80GB Seagate
I'm trying to get my first FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE) installation working, and I am having trouble getting a system which boots, primarily due to what appear to be disk geometry issues (but this is a complete newbie guess).

FreeBSD guesses the geometry as being 155061/16/63, which it then discards as incorrect (the first time through the install I accepted its assumed geometry of 9729/255/63). The BIOS CMOS is configured to Auto detect the drives on boot, if I change it to User it defaults to 38307/16/255 - but sysinstall/fdisk rejects this geometry outright. Next, I created a NTFS partition on the drive with an XP install CD, and then booted from the FreeBSD install CDs with -v, and got the following output: BIOS Geometries: 0:03fe0f3f 0..1022=1023 cylinders, 0..15=16 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 0 accounted for Device configuration finished ...

So other suggestions would be appreciated! As my plan is to use the machine as a dedicated server, Dangeously Dedicated is not an issue for me, as long this won't be a problem for future FreeBSD releases...? It's also worth noting that I upgraded the BIOS to v.F4c as the system would not boot with the ST380011A connected (BIOS hung trying to display the drive size). Interestingly the release notes state Support 75GB HDD, rather than 75GB+... Particularly since the FreeBSD sysinstall partitioning/slice tool reports the drive size as 76319MB (less than 75GB), even though it is meant to be an 80GB drive. BTW, when installing/configuring XFree86 I selected nv RIVA 128 as my video card, as this seemed the closest to the Viper 330 (given I understand it uses the Riva 128 chipset). Is this the right selection? If I try and run the graphical X-windows configuration tool it fails, so I set the above through the curses interface...

Re: 486SX, 100MB HDD - need FreeBSD, how?
Alex, If your 486SX has a floppy that works then you are okay. FreeBSD will install from 2 floppies, takes a little longer but still works. This IS based upon the assumption that you either have: a) A CD-ROM on your 486SX and a FreeBSD CD-ROM. b) A network card (or similar device eg: ppp) that can tie you to a FreeBSD source. You can find out more information here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html Also from the FreeBSD.org website: 3.4. What do I need in order to run FreeBSD? You will need a 386 or better PC, with 5 MB or more of RAM and at least 60 MB of hard disk space. It can run with a low end MDA graphics card but to run X11R6, a VGA or better video card is needed. So you should be fine. R. On Sun, 14 Sep 2003, Alex Zivenko wrote: How to install freebsd on this machine? (Intel486SX-25Mhz, 8 Mb Memory, 100Mb HDD). There isn't cdrom.

You may be able to fix those steps using the installation CD without repeating the entire installation. In the past, I frequently got the warnings about incorrect hard drive geometries.

You can configure the downlink port to access the other networks by NAT or directly, and you can run a mini-firewall if you want. It can also function as a DHCP server.

No networking on 4.9-PRERELEASE

FBSD has IPFILTER which is also a built in firewall. PF is also in ports, which is interesting. That's appealing because it provides an option to use tables rather than lists. I've heard good thinks about IPF. like IPFW and the netbsd firewall IPF has been ported to FBSD so there other options. I have used both IPFW and IPFILTER, IPFW's keep state rules do not function correctly on a DSL or cable internet connection, it has just been upgraded in FBSD 5.2 with a lot fluff that does nothing but confuses the general user. I'm interested to hear what the problem is with IPFW and keep-state, they have been working fine here, as far as I can tell. I have never used IPFW with ppp, but it looks like the original poster needs to provide a natd_interface, so that a divert rule gets enabled.

I've read that I will need a network adapter that supports hostap (access point mode). Does anyone known a brand/model (PCI) that's being supported by FreeBSD ? I don't have a direct answer to this question, but a bit of information: Last weekend I bought a couple of 802.11b/g wireless routers (AirLink, I think). These boxes contain an access point, a four-port Ethernet switch and an additional downlink Ethernet port. They're intended as cable or ADSL gateways, accessed by the downlink port. You can configure the downlink port to access the other networks by NAT or directly, and you can run a mini-firewall if you want. It can also function as a DHCP server. These boxes cost me $80 at Fry's, the same price as a basic 802.11b access point. This weekend I went back to Fry's looking for Atheros-based wireless cards. The cheapest I could find cost $100. Based on that, it's not clear why you would want to build an AP from a wireless card. Greg I think the reason is probably because the other reason to go all Atheros is because it supports the SuperA/G as well which allows 108Mbps raw data or 90Mbps active throughput and that's only possible with Atheros but the routers so far that has Atheros are the D-Link DI-774 and the Netgear FWAG114 and they are atleast $230 each. For PCMCIA and Desktop cards, the Netgear A+G or D-Link A+G has the Atheros inside.

Re: another newbie struggling with ppp/modem issues - still struggling
Thanks to all who responded. I think I've narrowed this down to a problem recognizing the port (rather than a hardware problem), but this still doesn't have me much closer to success. The actual modem is a US Robotics Performance Pro (not a Winmodem), so I doubt that's the source of my troubles. I did run sh MAKEDEV to make sure that all the devices existed.

ipfw2 loss of feature ?
With ipfw1 on 4.8 I use this:
ipfw add 10 check-state
ipfw add 20 allow tcp from xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 to any keep-state limit src-addr 10
to provide stateful firewalling, and limit the number of simultaneous
tcp sessions to 10 per client. Seems to work great.
On 4.8 I tried ipfw2
(kernel with options IPFW2 and rebuilt ipfw and libalias with -DIPFW2
as instructed in man ipfw)
When I tried ipfw2, as I wanted keepalives, I get an error
when I run ipfw
only one of keep-state and limit is allowed
How can I do both the stateful firewalling and limit
the simultaneous sessions, with ipfw2 ?

be more verbose when it drops a session...

Fwd: Re: FreeBSD CDROM Installation
Per David's suggestion, I'm redirecting this question to this list. My FreeBSD CDs are for 3.2. Not sure what additional information might be helpful. My old hard drive with Win98 died and I just got a new 40GB for my laptop so I decided to install FreeBSD instead . Woo hoo! I created the Kernel and MFS floppies per the instructions in my book (FreeBSD 3rd edition) and it sets up my partition, asks what type of installation I want (selected Novice). I then tell it the installation media is CDROM but when it boot it appears to scan the CDROM (led flashes) but then boots from the hard drive giving me a message that 0:wd(0,a)/kernel is the default and placing me at the boot: prompts. The sequence of events above doesn't make sense. It sounds as if when you set your media type it subsequently reboots. It shouldn't be doing that at all. You should redirect this question to the freebsd-questions list, as the charter of this list prohibits the answering of technical questions. The only way we can keep FreeBSD's reputation of stability and robustness is to direct people with technical questions to those who actually know the answers.

Odd vmware / vnconfig (?) configuration.
Hi, This is quite a complicated setup, I think. I've got a single 80GB disk in my machine, which currently has Windows XP and FreeBSD installed. Since I only use WinXP from time-to-time I would like to be able to boot it from VMware3 WS (which is installed and working). FreeBSD is /dev/ad0s1 and WinXP is /dev/ad0s2. VMWare doesn't seem to like having the raw disk /dev/ad0 used. I'm guessing this is because I'm using that for FreeBSD at the same time. Therefore -- I wanted to know if it was possible to maybe provide a sort of symlink to /dev/ad0s2 that can be read as a file. I thought maybe vnconfig was the way to do this. If there are any VMWare xperts -- could it be possible that this ``file'' could be used as a raw disk? Anything to do this would be very helpful as I'm totally stuck.

Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device busy ?
Hi, How can I find out which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy? Without any other sound application running, I got this message when starting mplayer or realaudio. Somehow the system got muddled up. After some random trial and error, I finally discovered that everything came back to normal when I killed xscreensaver. So for some reason xscreensaver kept /dev/dsp busy. Is there a command to find out directly which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy?

Netware Client for FreeBSD
I have access to a Netware IV server and am trying to connect to it from my FreeBSD 5.1-Current desktop. My goal is to figure out how it works in FreeBSD, so I can add support for FreeBSD to the Netwhere client for Linux: http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?nwcunix It took me a long time to get the recipe for Linux correct, and I hope to get the FreeBSD recipe right in a reasonable amount of time. I have compiled a series of clues, extracted from all of the documentation that I have searched for and read over. However, after following these steps, I am still unable to connect to the Netware server, and how they relate to each other is unclear. 1. . I compiled IPX support into the kernel 2. I installed the Ncplib port There is a ncplib port in /usr/ports/net/ncplib. I performed a standard make install clean, and it seems to have installed correctly, however, I cannot find any useful instructions. The /usr/ports/net/ncplib/README.html file asks me to please read the description file, which only states this: cplib is a free client for Novell NetWare servers. WWW: http://rbp.chat.ru/ncplen.html -- Boris Popov [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, when I go to http://rbp.chat.ru/ncplen.html which is refered to in README.html and the description file, the page says: An error occured while loading http://www http//rbp.chat.ru/ncplen.html: Unknown host www http So, I take a look at /usr/ports/net/ncplib/pkg-plist file, it shows: bin/ncpasswd bin/ncplist bin/ncplogin bin/ncplogout bin/ncplpd bin/ncprint bin/ncpsend bin/ncpurge sbin/ncpsvc @cwd / modules/nwfs.ko sbin/mount_nwfs There are man pages for these commands, but when I actually run the commands, they give me the following errors: This command check the network for Netware servers: ncplist s Can't find any file server I also check out the man page for mount_nwfs and run a command to log into the netware server on a temporary account that does not have a password. I have tested its access in Linux and Windows and they both work: mount_nwfs -S BAM -U testbsd -V sys /nw mount_nwfs: can't find server BAM: syserr = Protocol not supported Obviously I am missing some information, so I search the net and find this page: http://people.freebsd.org/~bp/ipxen.html The first thing I noticed was that hte page is missing a date. This is important, because it instructs the user to replace some of the source code that comes with FreeBSD 5.1-Current with code available for download, and then to compile that into the kernel. I did not do this, because I had no idea if these changes have already been merged into the tree. I did compile my kernel adding the IPX option, but did not download ipxrt.tgz, because IPXrouted was already installed on my machine. I also know from my experience with Linux, that Mars-nwe is required to login to a Netware 4.11 server. I tried using Mars-nwe, but that didn't seem to help either. Yes, I read the man pages, but unfortunately, configuration information has not been provided. Thanks to some additional searching and for the information recently provided by Cristian Salan I: 1. Added these lines to /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_rl0f2_ipx=ipx 0x350 #IPX address family entry (I also tried: ifconfig_rl0f2_ipx=ipx 12345678 #IPX address family entry) ipxrouted_enable=YES # Set to YES to run the IPX routing daemon Note that when I run ifconfig, my device is normally rl0. 2. Added these lines to /boot/loader.conf: if_ef_load=YES nwfs_load=YES ncp_load=YES 3. However when I run ncplist s, I still get a goose egg: localhost# ifconfig rl0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet 192.168.0.133 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:fe64:766f%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:40:f4:64:76:6f media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active lp0: flags=8810POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 rl0f0: flags=8842BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:40:f4:64:76:6f rl0f1: flags=8842BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:40:f4:64:76:6f rl0f2: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ipx bc614e.40f464766f inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:fe64:766f%rl0f2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 ether 00:40:f4:64:76:6f rl0f3: flags=8842BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:40:f4:64:76:6f lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 localhost# ncplist s Can't find any file server localhost# 4.

Re: WINE
Does anyone have a nice and simple tutorial on how to install/configure/run wine on FreeBSD 4.8? No. (This is the most direct and accurate answer to the question you asked.) In order to get the most out of Wine, you have to be an expert in both Microsoft Windows and Wine. However, you may be able to get something useful out of Wine with only a moderately severe investment of time and intellectual energy. In a nutshell, to install Wine: cd /usr/ports/emulators/wine make install make clean This takes a couple of hours and more than half a GB of scratch disk space on my old machine (and a little over 10 minutes on my new machine!). After you do the make install, examine the last batch of lines output in the window in which you did the make. You should see block of text beginning with: In order to use Wine on FreeBSD 4.x, you need a kernel with option USER_LDT enabled. You also need options SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG; these are default on FreeBSD 4.x and above. and ending with: For more information, and contact details about the security status of this software, see the following webpage: http://www.winehq.com/ Read this text somewhat carefully. You might want to save it in a file. It mentions some useful man pages, doc files, and a configuration file. Also check out /usr/ports/emulators/linux-winetools. I have never used this port but it looks like it might be useful. I am sorry I can't be more helpful, but I don't think anything else I can write would do you much good. You have to learn about Wine yourself (mostly the hard way).

Re: 486SX, 100MB HDD - need FreeBSD, how?
Alex, If you are really desperate or have a just gonna do this for fun attitude you could do the following: 1) If you have more than 1 computer, steal the Floppy Drive for the time it takes you to install. 2) If you have a laplink or even a parallel port xover cable you can use that to install. 3) If you don't have either of the above you really are in a situation that doesn't merit the time IMHO.

Alex, If your 486SX has a floppy that works then you are okay. FreeBSD will install from 2 floppies, takes a little longer but still works. This IS based upon the assumption that you either have: a) A CD-ROM on your 486SX and a FreeBSD CD-ROM. b) A network card (or similar device eg: ppp) that can tie you to a FreeBSD source. You can find out more information here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html Also from the FreeBSD.org website: 3.4. What do I need in order to run FreeBSD? You will need a 386 or better PC, with 5 MB or more of RAM and at least 60 MB of hard disk space. It can run with a low end MDA graphics card but to run X11R6, a VGA or better video card is needed.

Re: Problems trying to boot from an 80GB
Sean and Andrew, I'm no expert, but two things strike me as odd. Perhaps some greater Guru can tell us whether or not they represent a problem. I'm trying to get my first FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE) installation working, ... Next, I created a NTFS partition on the drive with an XP install CD, ... Out of other ideas, I resorted to Dangerous Dedicated, which ... gave a different error: No /boot/loader Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: No /kernel As I understand it (and check the man page for boot(8)) the MBR boot record has to pull a larger boot program from the partition or slice (?) which pulls in a Forth interpreter and a Forth program. It is this loader which gives you the initial messages about `8 seconds to boot' and allows you to interrupt it, chose another kernel file, set sysctl variables, etc. This loader has to be able to read the root directory on the file system. I see two possible problems. First, the loader has to know how to read the root directory and find the blocks of the file. Can it do this if the file system is an NTFS file system? (I understand NTFS to mean one of the Windows FS types.) Second, if you use the Dangerously Dedicated structure, with no FreeBSD slice table, is there a place for the second stage boot block and the boot loader to be stored?

OK w/ 4.8R: sendto: buffer space not available
IMO, I think this area of dev should be revisited before 4.9-RELEASE. Because when I brought it down to 4.8-RELEASE via cvsup, it has not failed yet. It usually fails around 12 hrs from boot. And it has been 14+ hours now running very fine. One thing I noticed though... it seems that over time, the peak values on netstat -m grows. Although it is still far from the max value I set in kern.ipc.nmbclusters. Last value before networking stalls is around 9000 to 1+ on my mbuf clusters. Now with 4.8-RELEASE, the netstat -m shows a steady peak value of just 5226. Thanks. Yes, exact kernel configurations too. To be specific, I just copy/pasted the extra options plus the pseudo-device gre. And, yes. The same, on a 256MB machine. I have also tried the advice of Colin to set the sysctl : net.inet.raw.recvspace=131072 net.inet.raw.maxdgram=8192 net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072 net.inet.tcp.recvspace=131072 net.inet.udp.maxdgram=8192 net.inet.udp.recvspace=131072 kern.ipc.nmbclusters=16384 at /boot/loader.conf (nmbufs automatically sets itself to x4 of nmbclusters) But that didn't work either. netstat -m peaks just over 9000 for mbuf clusters. I should try bring it back to 4.8-RELEASE now. Thanks. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This is serious. I have just cvsuped stable-supfile again and did all necessary steps re kernel/world.

Re: Replacement for WinRar?
Well, file splitting (breaking up a rar file by user selected byte size), simple GUI interface, right click and archive, double click extract, file preview, tunable compression ratios. Those are just for starters. It's one of the reasons I use WinRar on windows cause of all the stuff it does. The biggest selling point for a BSD equivalent would be the ability to do both Rar and Zip and to be able to split a large archive into smaller pieces. Those are the two things I like most about it. :) Not that it does them, but does them in the most idiot proof manor.
