VMWare 3, USB, devusbfs... Oh my...
So I have done some googling and have come up with more questions than answers. Has anyone been successful at getting USB devices to work with the vmware3 port? I saw some messages over a year ago about needing to port usbdevfs to FreeBSD for Linux compat. After that I can't find any reference to the effort. Has that effort died? Has anyone found a solution to this problem? -- Jacob S.

Do I need to have an add statement in the PPP.conf, or do i have to enable proxyall rather than enable proxy?? Worst thing about this is I can't find enough doco on it on the net... I'll write my own when I get it done... I think that natd(8) and the NAT from ppp(8) are stepping on each other's toes. Try not enabling NAT in ppp(8) at all, and letting natd(8) take care of it.

Invalid Partition - help on setting up loader
Hi list. Merry Christmas!! This is my first post on a Freebsd Mailing List, so don't be too harsh on me if my ettiquette isn't acceptable. Ok, I guess I'll get to the heart of this post: I'm trying to figure out how to boot 5-releng-1 alongside my 4-stable slice. After a surprisingly successful buildworld/kernel, installworld, I used /stand/sysinstall to fdisk/disklabel the appropriate partitions. By the way, both slices exist on the same disk. Booting to stable was fine, however, booting to current gave me: invalid partion I was, however, able to get it to work, when I pointed the boot to 0:ad(2,e)/boot/loader (which is the location of my current's root partition.) I'm happy with how my current installation went, but I may have missed a crucial step along the way. Any advice welcome [edit] I was referred here from the newbies list. Go figure.

Is there an official way to fix an MBR that has been overwritten such that there is still a valid partition table and valid MBR, but not the one you want? ... I was able to rig it back by going into the custom installation option and just setting a drive as active and choosing to reload the MBR. However, it isn't readily apparent that this is what is happening as sysinstall will then complain about different things before rewriting the MBR/partition table. However, it does work... ... Check out the boot0cfg command. You can also use the fdisk command, but I don't know which master bootstrap program it likes to install. You probably won't need to reinstall the next level bootstrap program. The program that would install it for you is called disklabel or bsdlabel. If you can't boot the FreeBSD OS that you previously installed, you should be able to boot your installation media and run these commands in fixit mode (or whatever it is called these days). You will need either the fixit floppy or the live file system CD (...disc2.iso).

Re: need learning direction suggestions on using editors
On Thu, Dec 25, 2003 at 04:48:11PM +0800, Zhang Weiwu wrote:
Hello. I have been using the vi that comes with FreeBSD for more than a
year. I now can manage to use lots of vi features except the tag mode which
I don't know clear about its concept (perhaps because of my bad English).
Now I think vi is not sufficient. I hate to type !perl % each time I edit
and re-try my perl script, and I'd like to load related files quickly. (say
load a included php file when I see it is being included.)
Should I advance to vim right now or emacs, or is it that I didn't dig into
vi deep enough to release its full power? I wonder how many programmers are
still using 4BSD vi (compare to enchanced vi's)? Maybe none? Maybe many?
I know very few about editors other than vi, if I'm going to learn another
editor now, I wish I can be using that forever, and I wish the editor have
good L10N (esp. Chinese). I do some Java program, php and perl program but
not C, and I'd likely to do these kind of program in the coming years, so
what is the best editor for my kind?
The major benefits of vi over vim are multiple buffers and the concept
of windows. A buffer allows you to load more than one file into vim at
a time and you can then view those other files in other 'windows'.
For example if I type a filename such as /usr/ports/editors/vim/Makefile
and then place the cursor over a part of the filename above and hit
'gf', vim will open the Makefile for vim!
I can then switch back to this buffer by hitting 'ctrl-^'.
You can also edit whole directories at once in this way (read only
though) - this is more useful if, say, you know that a file exists in a
certain directory but you don't remember exactly what the file is called
:P
To create a new 'window', you hit 'ctrl-w n'. You can then open a
buffer in that new window by typing ':bn' in command mode, where 'n' is
the number of the buffer you want to open.
Another great feature is 'visual' mode - hitting 'V' in command mode
switches into visual line mode and allows you to select complete lines
of text. Hitting 'v' in command mode takes you into visual mode so you
can highlight and select text per character. There's also 'visual
block' mode, which allows you to select vertical blocks of text - you
enter visual block mode by hitting 'ctrl-v'.
There are a lot of other great features such as tab completion for
completing filenames and vim commands and too many other numerous things
to mention here!
In summary, if you already know vi commands then vim should be great for
you.
To learn more about vim I found the vim website very useful - especially
the 'vim tips' section where you can read about lots of useful vim stuff
- the vimtips page is here:
http://www.vim.org/tips/index.php
One of the first things to do if you decide to switch to vim is to get a
decent ~/.vimrc file set up. I'll include mine here since it has lots
of comments - to find out more info about each command type ':help
command' - ie ':help wmnu' to learn about the wildmenu command
Good luck :)
My ~/.vimrc file is here:
-snip-
Do syntax highlighting:
syn on
set autoindent
set tabstop=4
keep a longer history list than usual - may want to change this if
things seem slow in vim:
set history=1000
set ignorecase
set shiftwidth=4
shows the current command in the status line:
set sc
'wildmenu' allows you to open new files with tab autocomplete on:
set wmnu
nice status line
set ls=2
set ruler
set comments=b:#,:%,fb:-,n:,n:),sr:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,b://
This is important for ease of use of buffers/windows:
set hidden
Set 'g' substitute flag on.
set gdefault
keeps cursor in middle of screen
set scrolloff=
set vim to use 'short messages'.
set shortmess=at
showmatch: Show the matching bracket for the last ')'?
set showmatch
set background=dark
prompt for confirmation before quitting:
set confirm
Last Modified file path (hit ,e)
map ,e :e C-R=expand(%:p:h) . / CR
map a toggle for pasting:
:set pastetoggle=F12
set textwidth=72
a search and replace function - with cursor on a word, hit
'\r' to search/replace all instances of that word in the document:
fun! ()
let s:word = input( . expand('cword') . with:)
:exe 'bufdo! %s/' . expand('cword') . '/' . s:word . '/ge'

Re: Forward and NAT question
- Original Message - From: Pierrick Brossin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 26, 2003 9:02 AM Subject: Forward and NAT question Hi! I'm a little bit confused. I got my server up and running with nat and stuff for a little while now and I was wondering why would one need both net.inet.ip.forwarding set to 1 and NAT ? I've been searching in the docs and on google for 3 days but I can't figure out what is forwarding needed for if NAT is enabled... Regards -Pierrick Brossin http://www.swissgeeks.com From the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/ppp-primer/x237.html) By default the FreeBSD system will not forward IP packets between various network interfaces. In other words, routing functions (also known as gateway functions) are disabled. If you're running NATD, you have at least 2 interfaces, this has to be enabled for the packets to traverse the interfaces properly. NATD and packet forwarding don't go hand in hand, NATD and IPFW do. net.inet.ip.forwarding allows traffic from the internal interface to gain access to the external interface where NATD is by default listening. Normal NATD traffic flow is this: - Packet is inbound via internal interface - net.inet.ip.forwarding allows the traffic to traverse to external interface - IPFW intercepts traffic at external interface and diverts it to NATD - NATD translates the packet and injects it at the next IPFW rule set - If traffic is allowed by IPFW, traffic exits the system to it's destination Without net.inet.ip.forwarding enabled, the FreeBSD system is merely a system on each network instead of a gateway between them. That's my take on it in a nut shell. -- Micheal Patterson Network Administration TSG Incorporated 405-917-0600 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4.9, 5.1 boot failure after install
Hello, I had 4.9 release working and did a clean install of 5.1 release over the 4.9 and ended up with boot failure after install. Using allBSD partition and standard MBR I get a missing operating system error. If I use the FreeBSD boot I just get default F1 and a beep. Now trying to install the 4.9 gives the same results. I'm using a Mylex DAC960ptl (accelraid 250) with the primary disk setup as JBOD. I set the bootable disk as active but everytime I go back to config fdisk the flag is not set. I then upgraded and flashed the RAID card, reformatted the disks and tried a 4.9 install, again with the same results. Is there an issue with the DAC card geometry or BIOS? Or a subtle quirk that isn't documented yet? thanks, Dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
natd problem (but close!)
Hi all, I've been trying to get natd up on a FreeBSD 4.9-Stable box. I think I've followed every step, and it's still not quite working, although I believe it's getting close. My dual-homed box has two interfaces: internal ed0=10.13.0.1/8, and external xl0=xx.yy.zz.187/29 (note I've cleverly obscured the IP). Here's what I've done on the dual-homed box: - Kernel compiled with IPFIREWALL IPDIVERT - gateway_enabled=YES, verified with sysctl -a list | grep ipforwarding - firewall set to open - natd_enabled=YES - natd_interface=my external interface - natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf - /etc/natd.conf contains one line: redirect_address 10.0.0.13 xx.yy.zz.186, where xx.yy.zz.186 is the desired public IP for a client on my internal network, whose internal IP is 10.0.0.13 On my client, I've set the default router to 10.13.0.1, which is the IP for the internal interface for the gateway box. The gateway can access the Internet just fine. The client has some problems, which I've attempted to diagnose by running tcpdump on the gateway, and trying a ping and a lynx from the client. Here are the results, as reported by the gateway: ping 151.164.1.8 (from client to one of my ISP's nameservers) - 10:14:39.738942 xx.yy.zz.186 151.164.1.8: icmp: echo request 10:14:39.760288 151.164.1.8 xx.yy.zz.186: icmp: echo reply 10:14:40.748798 xx.yy.zz.186 151.164.1.8: icmp: echo request 10:14:40.770406 151.164.1.8 xx.yy.zz.186: icmp: echo reply (etc) lynx www.yahoo.com - 10:16:55.827709 xx.yy.zz.186.2559 216.109.118.64.http: S 552730403:552730403(0) win 57344 mss 1460,nop,wscale 0,nop,nop,timestamp 35611940 0 (DF) 10:16:55.920315 216.109.118.64.http xx.yy.zz.186.2559: S 2144501521:2144501521(0) ack 552730404 win 65535 mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,nop,nop,timestamp 582477747 35611940 (DF) On both ping and lynx, the client hangs. It doesn't report any problems (other than timeout). It just hangs. Also, tcpdump reports packets as being received by 'filter', and reports 0 packets dropped by kernel. What's interesting to me, is that in both cases it looks like the connection is being made. Since the gateway is referring to xx.yy.zz.186, which is my alias in natd.conf for the client, it looks like natd is working to some extent -- the client's NIC is configured only as 10.0.0.13 and so the only reason the gateway would be using 66.139.244.186 would be because natd said so. However, it almost seems like the gateway can't go in the other direction, like it has no idea that packets destined for 66.139.244.186 should be directed to 10.0.0.13. This, even though it knows to rewrite packets coming *from* 10.0.0.13 as having come from 66.139.244.186. One other data point: my gateway can ping the client's internal IP, but not its external IP. Does sound familiar to anyone? I'm hopeful that it's something small. Thank you, T.B. __ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

Since you're getting EOM, check that the tape is, in fact, rewound. 2. Try a new tape. 3. Run a cleaning tape. 4. Ensure that the SCSI bus is correctly configured and terminated. I would add a second to the SCSI termination. I ran into an error with my DDS-2 a few weeks back due to a failing or flaky terminator in the tape drive. I had to add a true terminator to the SCSI cable. I had many such troubles with tape errors EOM etc., until I checked the termination.

Thanks Micheal -- I look forward to being educated. - T.B. You're getting the idea. You're trying to set up a static nat configuration instead of a dynamic nat. Dynamic NAT uses one IP for all traffic from the internal systems. Perhaps I should've stated it this way first, my bad. For Static Nat setups, a gateway has to have the redirected IP associated with it's external nic. It's best if this is an aliased IP so that no traffic to the gateway is lost. Then redirect that address to the internal system. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html specifically, section 19.13.5 Address Redirection describes this best. Address redirection is useful if several IP addresses are available, yet they must be on one machine. With this, natd(8) can assign each LAN client its own external IP address. natd(8) then rewrites outgoing packets from the LAN clients with the proper external IP address and redirects all traffic incoming on that particular IP address back to the specific LAN client.

Re: A Challenge... NAT for PPP dial in user
I must have missed the original email, but I think the fact that the local end of the ppp link has the same IP address as the machine's default gateway is probably more to blame. The ppp ifaddr range should be either on a different subnet, or use an address range not already in use on the lan. This means BOTH ends of the link. So take out '192.168.1.1' and replace it with something unused. You will probably need to change the add route statement to 'add HISADDR 255.255.255.255 MYADDR' because you don't want to route the whole subnet down the ppp interface.

PPP.conf is simple... enable pap enable passwdauth set ifaddr 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199 255.255.255.0 add HISADDR 255.255.255.0 MYADDR accept dns set dns 203.2.75.132 enable proxy In natd.conf interface tl0 sameports yes dynamic yes I'm running a firewall, but it is open for the TUN0 interface... I also have a divert natd (8668) allow all from any to any out via tl0 All other PC's on the LAN are windows clients... the one downstairs I was able to just set a default gateway and it was up and running on the internet, unfortunately it isn't done like that on a dial in setup on windows... I can't use DHCP for the clients, as I'm not supposed to have internet sharing running... Do I need to have an add statement in the PPP.conf, or do i have to enable proxyall rather than enable proxy?? Worst thing about this is I can't find enough doco on it on the net... I'll write my own when I get it done... I think that natd(8) and the NAT from ppp(8) are stepping on each other's toes. Try not enabling NAT in ppp(8) at all, and letting natd(8) take care of it. It's the same outside interface, after all; it should just work. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: natd.conf problem (was: natd problem (but close!) )
You're getting the idea. You're trying to set up a static nat configuration instead of a dynamic nat. Dynamic NAT uses one IP for all traffic from the internal systems. Perhaps I should've stated it this way first, my bad. For Static Nat setups, a gateway has to have the redirected IP associated with it's external nic. It's best if this is an aliased IP so that no traffic to the gateway is lost. Then redirect that address to the internal system. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html specifically, section 19.13.5 Address Redirection describes this best. Indeed, from 19.3.5 (which I just checked) . . . The external IP addresses on the natd machine must be active and aliased to the external interface. I'm sure I read this section. Since that quote was right at the end, I'm also sure I got lost before I got to that part . . . but since I checked that section off my list, I probably never reread it. Anyway, I took a stab at this a while ago, and sure enough, it fixed the problem. Your bad? I beg to differ -- you're the guy who fixed this!!! And it's been bugging me for weeks. Aaaa!!! Thanks so much Micheal. - The Bean Address redirection is useful if several IP addresses are available, yet they must be on one machine. With this, natd(8) can assign each LAN client its own external IP address. natd(8) then rewrites outgoing packets from the LAN clients with the proper external IP address and redirects all traffic incoming on that particular IP address back to the specific LAN client.

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 list caters
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.

setting login.conf doesn't limit my users
Hello, after setting a new login classes in login.conf the users still don't get limited and worse - they can change the limits by themselves ! How do I restrict that ? I'm using FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE. Most of the users are using bash. They are in the login class that should put them the limits and I ran cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf after adding the new class. The users login via sshd. P.S. The FBSD handbook and the login.conf manpage doesn't help much. They only say that I should put the limits I want in login.conf and everything should be done.

Here are the steps I've done: touch /etc/vinum.conf - vinum create -f -v /etc/vinum.conf In this file there are these entrys: drive d1 device /dev/ad1s1 drive d2 device /dev/ad2s1 drive d3 device /dev/ad3s1 These are slices, not partitions. From the man page: DRIVE LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS vinum drives are currently BSD disk partitions. They must be of type vinum in order to avoid overwriting data used for other purposes. Use disklabel -e to edit a partition type definition. The following display shows a typical partition layout as shown by disklabel(8): 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a:81920 3440644.2BSD0 0 0 # (Cyl. 240*- 297*) b: 26214481920 swap# (Cyl. 57*- 240*) c: 42267250unused0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 2955*) e:8192004.2BSD0 0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 57*) f: 190 4259844.2BSD0 0 0 # (Cyl. 297*- 1626*) g: 1900741 2325984 vinum0 0 0 # (Cyl. 1626*- 2955*) In this example, partition ``g'' may be used as a vinum partition. Par- titions ``a'', ``e'' and ``f'' may be used as UFS file systems or ccd partitions. Partition ``b'' is a swap partition, and partition ``c'' represents the whole disk and should not be used for any other purpose. volume doc1s1 setupstate plex org concat sd length 0 drive d1 sd length 0 drive d2 sd lenght 0 drive d3 after I did this, all plexes are up without errors. Yes, this is a bug. You shouldn't be able to do this. then I did: - newfs /dev/vinum/doc1s1 - disklabel -e /dev/vinum/doc1s1 You shouldn't run disklabel on the volume. Run it on /dev/ad1s1, /dev/ad2s1 and /dev/ad3s1 instead. Then create drives on, say, /dev/ad1s1g, /dev/ad2s1g and /dev/ad3s1g, modify your configuration file, and all should be well.
