So you get nothing when you type 'AT' followed by enter with nothing else? Correct. The problem is that HylaFAX relies on these echo results to control its communication with the modem. It is looking for those OKs. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the OKs working? I have gone through all of the AT commands USR documents and I can't get anything. Is this a problem with 'cu' or 'ppp' or 'tip'? The results are obviously going somewhere, but I don't know where. And this makes me ask my first question. Is this internal or external?

Maybe try an atf1 which is Load Factory 1, HW FC and see if that gets the OK working. The only thing I could do to mine to turn of the OK is Q1. Nothing with atf1 or any of the factory settings.

Re: [maybe OT] IP/UDP/DNS packet manipulation question
Hi there, On Sat, Feb 07, 2004 at 01:46:46PM -0500, Louis LeBlanc wrote: That is to say it will accept DNS requests from local agents, filter out IPV6 request packets, and forward IPV4 requests to our backend DNS server in a way that the backend server will believe it has received them directly from the local server and send the response directly back to the local DNS agent, not the filter/forwarder. As I understand things, this will mean rewriting the outgoing IP header, UDP header (TCP support is not needed), so that they each contain the address of the local agent as the sender IP, and leaving the DNS header unchanged. Or better yet, simply forwarding the entire IP packet unchanged so that even the IP identification field is intact. The DNS header is easy enough, since that's in the application layer, but I'm having trouble finding out how to rewrite the transport and network layer headers, or to simply forward the whole packet. You might be able to do this with one of the various firewalls already. Perhaps check out ipfilter and pf. If using ipfw you can divert all DNS traffic to a divert(4) socket which you can then connect to your DNS application. If the application likes what it sees it can send the packet back via divert for forwarding to the real DNS target - no modifications necessary. If the DNS packet doesnt meet the specs, it can be dropped. Another possibiliy might be a netgraph module, although netgraph seems typically more suited to layer2 type applications.

I need the four dot-separated ip numbers. A computer often has a number of associated ip addreses; so it is a bit difficult. However interfaces usually have a unique address (or at least a prime address) so it makes more sense to think in terms of the ip address of a particular NIC in the machine.

Setting up a smarthost is simple. Just do the following:
# cd /etc/mail
# make (this will create a file `hostname`.mc if
it doesn't already exist)
# vi `hostname`.mc
Modify the line to remove the comment (dnl) and put in your ISP's
smart host:
dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server')
so that it reads:
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.example.com')
Note the distinction between the left hand (`) and right hand (') side
quote marks.
Save the results. Now process those into a sendmail configuration
file and install them and restart sendmail as follows:
# make install
# make restart-mta
In order to suppress sendmail doing DNS lookups for MX records, you
should be able to use the standard sendmail feature of putting the
hostname in [square brackets]. This may or may not work -- you'll
have to do some experiments. First of all try putting the square
brackets into the SMART_HOST define above:
define(`SMART_HOST', `[smtp.example.com]')
If that doesn't work, you can try using the mailertable functionality.
Create a file /etc/mail/mailertable containing the line:
.relay:[smtp.example.com]
and process that into a .db format hashed file by:
# make

Why aren't all files in a Package?
Certain core files that come with freebsd don't seem to belong to any package, one of them being zlib. I was trying to figure out what version of zlib FreeBSD is using, but since it wasn't part of any package, it was a little difficult, I had to edit libz.so and greped for 1.1.4. Since I found that, I'm assuming that that's the correct version, but I think a simple pkg_info -W should have answered that. Also, programs like named seem to come default as part of named and therefore have no package associated with them, but there is also a version in the ports collection. How do I uninstall the version in /usr so I can be assured that the version being invoked is in /usr/local. The last problem is that it makes it more difficult to find the source code for a particular core program. Is there any way I can access it any easier like I was doing in debian? dpkg -S /path/to/file tells me the package name, then apt-get source package downloads that package. -- I sense much NT in you.

Re: OpenLDAP and Mozilla Messenger
Thomas T. Veldhouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anybody know of a GOOD HOWTO to get Mozilla Messenger and OpenLDAP (2.2) to work well together [for addressbooks]? I have been searching for doco all day and I have downloaded schema and entered configurations to no avail. I don't know of a good doc that covers specifically this, but ... Every ldap-enabled mail client seems to use their own ldap schema. I am sort of aware that mozilla's schema might be available somewhere on mozilla.org, but I've never personally looked for it. Note that mozilla does not write to an ldap directory, it only reads from it. If you are in control of the directory, you have lots of options. If you want mozilla to show you any directory, then you have to hope that the directory was implemented with attributes that mozilla expects. That's a fair hope, since mozilla's notion of a person is derived from a commonly used objectclass, inetOrgPerson. But depending on your directory's specific schema, mozilla may or may not see all of what you're interested in. Mozilla gives you some room to play, using bind dn, base dn and search filters. If the directory is yours and you will be implementing your own schema, one thing you can do is to fully populate a mozilla address card, then export the addressbook as ldif, and you'll see the objectclasses and attributes that mozilla uses/expects. Do this in a new addressbook with one entry so you don't have to look at a bunch of other entries. Here's one that I did, using Mozilla 1.6: dn: cn=First Last,[EMAIL PROTECTED] objectclass: top objectclass: person objectclass: organizationalPerson objectclass: inetOrgPerson objectclass: mozillaAbPersonObsolete givenName: First sn: Last cn: First Last xmozillanickname: NickName mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mozillaSecondEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mozilla_AimScreenName: screenName xmozillausehtmlmail: false modifytimestamp: 0Z telephoneNumber: work 555- homePhone: home 555- facsimileTelephoneNumber: fax 555- pager: pager 555- mobile: mobile 555- homePostalAddress: 123 myhomeaddress st mozillaHomePostalAddress2: apt 111 mozillaHomeLocalityName: homeCentennial mozillaHomeState: homeCO mozillaHomePostalCode: home80122 mozillaHomeCountryName: homeCountry postalAddress: 456 myworkaddress st mozillaPostalAddress2: apt 222 l: workDenver st: workCO postalCode: work80111 c: workCountry title: workTitle ou: workDept o: workOrg workurl: http://www.workwebpage.com homeurl: http://www.homewebpage.com custom1: custom1 custom2: custom2 custom3: custom3 custom4: custom4 description: This is a note Things to note: - mozilla addressbook entries are objectclass: mozillaAbPersonObsolete - mozillaAbPersonObsolete appears to be derived from inetOrgPerson - Most, but not all of mozilla's extra attributes have mozilla prepended to the attribute name. The following are also mozilla specific, even though they don't say mozilla: workurl: http://www.workwebpage.com homeurl: http://www.homewebpage.com custom1: custom1 custom2: custom2 custom3: custom3 custom4: custom4 - the distinguished name is dn: cn=First Last,[EMAIL PROTECTED], in other words cn=...,mail=... but this is not critical, you can have any directory organization you like and the entries can still be seen by mozilla as long as they are of the right objectclass and/or have the right attributes. - cn is composed of givenName and sn, *unless* in the ab entry you specifically filled in Display Name. This is an export issue only; remember that moz only reads, doesn't write directories. I have found that as long as what you have in your directory has the attributes that mozilla is looking for, they should show up in the addressbook. Note that I say should. After having done this limited experiment, and for other reasons related to the work I'm doing, I decided to just be happy with a name and email address showing up in addressbook from my directory, and all the other attributes being managed and viewed by the app I'm working on. So I haven't painstakingly verified that if I have a mozillaHomePostalAddress2 attribute in my unique local schema, for example, that it shows up in addressbook. Bottom line: you should be able to use mozilla's schema in your directory if you can find it at their site, or just reverse engineer it from the above or your own experiment and reproduce it in your local setup, if what you want is mozilla's exact view of a person. But, mozilla doesn't write to ldap directories, so you will have to write or find an app that allows you to add entries. Depending on your user population and your requirements for directory security (and coherence :) you could use one of the php admin tools, and either restrict access to your self and admins, or open it up to your user population. Openldap's ACL's could/should be used to restrict each user's write-access to their own entry, but then they can't add new entries for their *own* contacts,

Can't start rshd
Hi! I'm having problems starting rshd. I tried it on two different computers (yes, I know about the security risks, but the port is firewalled off). I can't use alternatives because some software I'm using depends on it. The error is: It terminates with status 1 and sets errno to 38 (ENOTSOCK) = Socket operation on non-socket. It fails on the following function call: getpeername(0, (struct sockaddr *)from, fromlen) I'm no expert, but it looks like this can't work. Is this a bug, or is my installation faulty?

xmove over SSH.
Hi, At Kris Kennaway's suggestion I have been trying out xmove, which allows me to suspend an X app, move it between X displays, etc. I've got this working great on one machine (actually a jail), where my sshd_config has: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost no I start xmove and it prints: Implementing MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 user authentication XMove 2.0 ready. However. On another machine (not a jail), which the same sshd_config, except with X11UseLocalhost yes, I only get this message: XMove 2.0 ready. i.e. it doesn't seem to read my MIT magic cookie. I checked this by changing the X11UseLocalhost to no on the problematic machine and xmove then reads the cookie. However, with this setting I am unable to get any display forwarded, even something simple like xclock without any xmove. Any suggestions how I might fix this one? -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |- pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Linksys USB10T and USB10TA
I purchased a Linksys usb ethernet interface based on it being listed as a supported device for FreeBSD 4.9 - but now I'm having some issues with the device driver. First, its not the device I thought it was - apparently some USB10T's are based on the Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B chip (supported under kue device driver). This is what I thought I was purchasing, as it said USB10T quite clearly on the box. However, when i connect this device to my USB bus, it is the aue driver that attempts to attach the device. Apparently I have a USB10TA, which is based on a different chipset, the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus. Thanks for clearly labelling those products, LinkSys. I was relieved to learn that this device is also listed in the supported hardware for 4.9. Unfortunately, mine is not working as expected. the relevant portion of my dmesg is as follows: aue0: LINKSYS Inc. LINKSYS USB Adapter, rev 1.10/1.01, addr 2 aue0: Ethernet address: 00:04:5a:a1:c4:65 aue0: MII without any PHY! device_probe_and_attach: aue0 attach returned 6 also, usbdevs -v reports as follows: Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), VIA(0x), rev 1.00 port 1 addr 2: power 86 mA, config 1, LINKSYS USB Adapter(0x2206), LINKSYS Inc.(0x066b), rev 1.01 port 2 powered can anyone offer some advice to get this interface working? do i have some third, unsupported version of the USB10T? joe ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: How to query the computer's ip address?
Hi,
Silly question, maybe, but is there a simple command to query the
computer's
ip address? Something similar to 'hostname' for finding the computer's
hostname.
I need the four dot-separated ip numbers.
I can analyze the output of 'ifconfig', but isn't there an easier way.
For the sake of looking for a command that might do this, i whipped up
this long one-liner:
ifconfig | perl -nle 'print $1 if(/(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})/)'
note that this will print the first ip address it finds of each line
seperated by a newline, so be prepared to handle more than one.

/dev/dsp device busy - one possible solution
I was playing around with kde 3.2 and a crashing artsd was locking up my sound system - any further attempts to use sound from gnome or xmms or anything failed with /dev/dsp - device busy messages. fstat and lsof showed nothing holding the device. A reboot would fix it, but why reboot FreeBSD? I then remembered from a while ago that if I did the following... # cat /dev/dsp and then of course cntl-C to stop the output the device was no longer busy! I don't know why, but on my hardware at least (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz) this will 'unfreeze' the dsp output device. I'm just sending to the group as I searched for a while before I remembered my fix, and found no answers.

How to safely merge two slices on harddisk?
Hi, I have a hard disk, on which I would like to merge two slices into one single slice. The disk slices are as follows: /dev/ad1s1a98M43M47M48%/home/userB /dev/ad1s1d64G45G14G77%/home/userA /dev/ad1s1e 3.0G 2.5G 282M90%/home/userC /dev/ad1s1f 3.0G 1.0G 1.7G37%/usr/ports /dev/ad1s1g 3.0G 268M 2.5G10%/mnt /dev/ad1s1h 295M 295M -23.5M 109%/diskless_swap I want to merge /ad1s1f and /ad1s1g into one 6Gb slice. The merging should NOT destroy anything in the slices before (ad1s1a, d, and e), but destroying the data in the one afer (ad1s1h) is no problem. Is there a way to do this? What is the safest one? (without having to backup the whole disk).

Although if burncd isn't working, it's likely that the same problem will affect cdrecord. Trying cdrecord instead is trying to attack the symptoms rather than the actual problem. I must have missed burncd being broken for this user. I read the post as coming from someone who understood cdrecord, but had problems learning/using burncd.

termcap problem
I have a relatively new installation of FreeBSD v5.1, and the machine has just been staged at my co-lo site. So far, everything works well, except for a minor vi problem: I cannot navigate using the arrow keys. I can navigate using control keys, but not via the arrow keys. I'm now accessing the server over ssh via a terminal window on a Mac laptop running OS X (a new distant relative of FreeBSD, FWIW). I access lots of machines this way, including a Solaris machine, a couple of Linux boxen, and at least one other FreeBSD machine (not mine), and I don't have this problem on any of them. I assume it's a termcap problem, but I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

RE: struggling with hylafax installation
This could be an IRQ problem. I'd suggest trying an IRQ other than 2. IRQ 2 has some special meaning (it is the cascade interrupt), and it may not be playing well with your modem. Look through your BIOS to see if you can assign that card/PCI slot a specific IRQ (preferably one that is not used by anything else), or try switching PCI slots. If you aren't using your serial ports, try to disable them and assign one of the IRQs (3 or 4) to your modem. -Matthew Bertrand -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Teslik Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 2:39 AM To: Jeff Gardner Cc: list-freebsd-questions Subject: Re: struggling with hylafax installation -- Original Message --- From: Jeff Gardner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Alex Teslik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: list-freebsd-questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun, 08 Feb 2004 01:00:37 -0500 Subject: Re: struggling with hylafax installation Alex Teslik wrote: Oy, the second post to questions in the same day :( So, I bought new modem and got it working, but only kind of - the modem is not echoing commands back to the 'cu' or 'ppp' terminals.

I added a direct line to the modem in /etc/remote like: cuaa2:dv=/dev/cuaa2:br#57600:pa=none I can connect to the modem like: cu -l /dev/cuaa2 or tip cuaa2 or ppp (then 'term') I can type commands and see them. I type ATDT1234567 and the modem picks up and dials. So I know it hears and understands me. But it never echoes back result information. I never see an OK or anything from the modem in the terminal. So you get nothing when you type 'AT' followed by enter with nothing else? Correct. The problem is that HylaFAX relies on these echo results to control its communication with the modem. It is looking for those OKs. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the OKs working? I have gone through all of the AT commands USR documents and I can't get anything. Is this a problem with 'cu' or 'ppp' or 'tip'? The results are obviously going somewhere, but I don't know where. And this makes me ask my first question. Is this internal or external? The AT command set for this modem is documented (USR issues the same document for all their modems - this is an online version from another model instead of a PDF version that is posted with my specific model, but they are the same) here: http://www.usr.com/support/839/83909-ug/six.html This should turn on all echos (but does not): ATQ0 E1 F0 These should at least get the result codes you need. Maybe try an atf1 which is Load Factory 1, HW FC and see if that gets the OK working. The only thing I could do to mine to turn of the OK is Q1. Nothing with atf1 or any of the factory settings.

From the output I sent you I would assume it's running correctly, but when I do a ps -ax | grep smtpd, I get: 47858 p1- I 0:00.03 supervise smtpd. I'm assuming something did not get linked correctly...the whole daemontools thing is very new to me. I think I may just rollback everything I've done so far and start over...just a waste of time, but at least I may understand it better using that site you sent me. Under your existing setup, you would run svstat /var/service/* to get a run listing of what's running and how long they have been up. Probably a good idea to roll back, as you can be sure and trust the lifewithqmail.org site... -- Gary ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Booting Problem After Power Loss (fsck)?
Here's a summary of my problem so far: Server was idle (e.g. absolutely no processes running aside from csh, ttyv0 and ps) when power was cut; server reports a problem mounting /usr partition upon reboot. I have since tried the following: (1) Booted into single-user mode and ran 'fsck' - the latest output to the terminal says: FILE SYSTEM MARKED CLEAN /dev/da0s1e Last Mounted on /usr Phase 1 - check blocks and sizes After letting the system 'do its thing' for 5+ days, the output did not change. (2) I tried an 'fsck -p' and got the following message: /dev/da0s1a: 1128 files, 36058 used, 47059 free (261 frags, 58771 blocks, 0.1% fragmentations) The display has been stuck with that same output for countless hours now. Questions I have: (1) Have I suffered a total loss or is this still some way to revover my filesystem? After suffering a similar loss with a hardware raid-0 failure under win2k, I was assuming the FreeBSD setup would be more durable. I would hate to walk away thinking that a simple power loss could wipe out a freebsd server under nothing more than one terminal login. (2) Why would a simple fsck of the filesystem not work in my case?

It should have outputted something else between Phase 1 and FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY. Will fsck continue attempting to fix the filesystem? Have I suffered a total loss or is fsck still doing its thing? Read man fsck and its see also section. -- Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
