If I use portinstall to install a port, which should I use to uninstall it ? If it's a single port that you want to delete on its own then either will suffice. If you want to do a recursive uninstall or delete multiple packages then you'll probably want to make use of pkg_deinstall. Pkg_delete can delete ports given as a list just like it can delete single port; it, however, does not recurse like pkg_deinstall. I have not used pkg_deinstall to recursively ports much; I like pkg_delete better, more so in case of inconsistent state of installed dependencies. - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
uhci0 / usb problems: Could not setup irq, 22
Hello world, I admit it. I'm a FreeBSD developer with a question. I got a brand new shiny supermicro P4SCT board which has an intel USB chip and thus needs the uhci (as opposed to ohci) driver.

Dummynet, routing and firewalls - crazy idea
Problem: When downloading huge files from the server we can't use the client webbrowser. Setup: One firewall/DHCP/Gateway which all clients and the server routes through. The clients goes via no router when connecting to the server. The server is equipped with double NIC, however only one is used. The firewall is a hardware box meaning no software can be altered. Crazy idea: I have an idea about routing traffic through the server and then to the firewall. This would make it possible for the server to see that there's traffic on port 80 which should be prioritized over traffic on port 21, this part shouldn't be too hard I guess - lots of how-tos on the net for this. BUT, I would like the clients to go directly to the firewall without passing the server if they want to, this will mostly be the case when the server is down for maintenance or similar. This must mean that the servers both NICs actually must be on the same network, is that possible at all and how do I setup such an environment? It's 10:45pm and this idea just came out of my tired brain, if someone can give a better solution to the problem I would be very glad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to tell your gateway that in order to get to 10.0.0.0/24 from 192.168.1.0/24, you need to tell the routing tables that the route to 10.0.0.0/24 is via xl1 and vice versa. route add 10.0.0.0/24 -interface xl1 and vice versa: route add 192.168.1.0/24 -interface xl2 In the handbook, it says (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html): --begin quote-- 19.5.4 Enabling the Bridge Add the line: net.link.ether.bridge=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf to enable the bridge at runtime, and the line: net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=if1,if2 to enable bridging on the specified interfaces (replace if1 and if2 with the names of your two network interfaces). If you want the bridged packets to be filtered by ipfw(8), you should add: net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 as well. For FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE and later, use instead the following lines: net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1 net.link.ether.bridge.config=if1,if2 net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1 --end quote-- I am not sure if this will work, though, because I'm not sure what effect (if any) it would have on the NAT from the 192.168.1.0/24 network. You might want to first try this approach while NAT and the firewall are turned off. I have a similar situation that I want to test, so I'd be curious if you succeed and how.

Filesystem/disk performance problems
I have a filesystem which is showing some very odd problems on FreeBSD 4.4. The system has one 60GB IDE drive for the os and some user partitions and one 800GB array of 120GB disks attached to a 3ware IDE-RAID controller. The latter is all one big partition. For most files and directories, copying/transferring them around is not a problem. But for a couple of very specific directories, copying them seems next to impossible. When I attempt to copy these, after a few minutes of *extremely* slow copying (1k/min), the system load shoots up and the system becomes virtually unusable. In particular, working with one directory which is 11GB. Some subdirectories, even large ones copy fine from /usr1 (a partition on the 60GB disk) to /raid (the partition for the entire raid array). I can even make a tar of one of the non-working directories to /usr1, copy the tar file to /raid (with no problems), then when I try to untar it on /raid I get the same problem - very very slow (1k/min) and then the system load shoots up to 10+ and the system becomes unusable. In this case the data is going from /raid - /raid instead of from /usr1 - /raid, but it does not seem to help. I've also tried using some other utilities than simply cp in an attempt to fool the system - I've tried scp, and tar cf - . | (cd /raid;tar xf -) as well. There are no messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages that look at all related, and there are no messages that are accruing (for example while attempting a copy).

This BSD is as smart or as dumb as the end user wants it to be. - Plug and Play has come a long way since it's inception years ago. However, when your windows system decides that your Nvidia 5900 is actually a Trident 8900D, or your SoundBlaster is actually an Adlib card, or your MS Mouse is a Logitech, no matter what drivers you as an admin, reading the manual that came with the component, and scratching your head in wonder, then you'll understand why they really call it Plug and Pray and you'd be forever grateful if only Windows would ask you more than it does. - Windows is much less intelligent than it believes itself to be and will run headlong into a self cratering spiral trying to convince itself that it's doing the right thing. It's the OS, so it must know more than the Administrator! It will do so without so much as an error notice in the event log. It will lock up the desktop with 100% cpu so you can't stop it while it's on it's merry little way until it either blue screens or locks up hard. - BSD is as smart, or as dumb, as you want it to be. BSD will also run headlong into a self cratering spiral, but, it will do so screaming and complaining every bloody step of the way. It will also offer you the ability to thwart the disaster because it believes that you, as root, know what you're doing and trusts you to know. It will diligently do as you request until it can scream at you no more and the kernel reboots in panic. Create a file called com1, then try to delete it on a Windows box and see how smart it really is. You know com1 can be deleted, but Windows will throw a fit, it believes that the OS is smarter than the user and knows what's best. In some cases, it's right, others, it's not. If this is a virus file, you're screwed because the OS won't allow anything to destroy the file. Ever tried to kill a specific process in Windows and got the Access Denied error when you know full well it can be killed? My Freebsd will allow me to rm -rf / and will continue to try to delete everything on the system because it trusts me to know that's a bad thing. It will inform me that it's dieing through it's various avenues, yet it will continue to destroy itself simply because I told it to do so. It will continue to eat itself alive until it can no longer perform the operation. Why does it do that you wonder? It's really very simple.

Reflect on the fact that Microsoft use it themselves, for firewalls and development here in Cambridge, UK, last I heard, for HotMail, and in some other situations. Mac OS X is deeply influenced by it. But it isn't meant to be an automatic install, so you're really criticising an apple for not being an orange. FreeBSD is really a server OS that can be used as a desktop. If you were to get used to it, you might find it is very much to your taste. But you might not (the Unix Haters' Handbook is out of print, but still very funny in parts). Using a Unix type OS helps you learn about computing, rather than about one company's terminology, and that's really useful with all operating systems and in all situations. You'd also find that the responsiveness and helpfulness of users and developers in the FreeBSD world is incomparable. For example, if you had posted a specific question about your problems with the install to this list, you'd have got really excellent and well-informed help, perhaps within minutes of posting.

make world : did it fail?
Hi. I just ran the make world procedure on a freshly installed FreeBSD system. After dropping to single user mode, I ran: cd /usr/src script /root/mw/mw-200405111310.out make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=GOLLUM make installkernel KERNCONF=GOLLUM reboot I do things this way because I don't want to babysit the machine waiting to proceed to the next step.

Linux library compatibility (libgmodule-2.0.so.0)
Hello! I have a Linux binary that I need to run on FreeBSD 5.2. So far it's required GTK 2.0+ (linux-gtk2-2.2.1_1), which is fine, and I have installed the Linux libraries for that. But it is now looking for more libraries, and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how to go about downloading and installing them. I've done a bit of a net search, but it hasn't helped much so far. This binary is asking for libraries one by one, so I don't know what to expect yet, until I get to the end.

RE: make world : did it fail?
Hi. I'd still like to hear from anyone with insight into this (whether an actual problem occurred or not), but here's what I've decided to do: I know from the script output that the buildworld and buildkernel succeeded. The only step that is suspect is the installkernel. So: In case something did screw up, I want to make sure I still have the known good kernel available: rm -rf /boot/kernel mv /boot/kernel.old /boot/kernel Then I booted into single-user mode and ran: uname -a It reported the unpatched kernel (good). So: cd /usr/src script /root/mw/mw-200405111844.out make installkernel KERNCONF=GOLLUM This time I sat around and waited for it to finish. Finally, it did, with no errors or other suspect output. Satisfied, I rebooted. No problems, so back into single-user-mode to installworld: cd /usr/src script /root/mw/mw-200405111852.out make installworld echo sleeping now sleep 600 reboot I would have waited around for this to complete but I wanted to go home. I reasoned that 10 minutes should surely be enough for script to flush output to disk (man 1 script says it flushes, by default, every 30 seconds). By rebooting I would then be able to continue setting up the server through an SSH session from home (I established and tested SSH settings on the company firewall before beginning the make world). Sure enough, I just logged in and: tail mw-200405111852.out === etc/sendmail -- Rebuilding man page indices -- cd /usr/src/share/man; make makedb makewhatis /usr/share/man makewhatis /usr/share/openssl/man rm -rf /tmp/install.8m808LpI sleeping now So it looks like everything's good. Is there any flaw in my reasoning? In particular, even though it appeared to work, is it a bad idea to delete the active kernel? I've done it before and I haven't had any problems, but I always feel like I'm playing Russian Roulette when I do it. -Dan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan MacMillan Sent: May 11, 2004 18:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: make world : did it fail?

Help: Speeding up Boot Process

I've already read the FreeBSD handbook's essential parts for a typical users and I'm thinking if I've missed something very important about speeding up boot process.

newsyslog command in an script
In an csh script I want to issue newsyslog /var/log/security. I need feedback from the newsyslog command in the form of an script testable return code / exit code so I can determine if the specified log met the rotate trigger for that file as defined in the newsyslog.conf file and the file was rotated or not. I have tested and know that newsyslog /var/log/security does check the newsyslog.config for an entry of /var/log/security and checks the size/time/date trigger to determine if file needs rotating. So my question boils down to does the newsyslog command issue an return code I can check in an script to see if the log was rotated or not?

Secure NFS: does not compile with Stable?
Hi,
I want NFS over secure connection (sNFS). This is available at
http://www.math.ualberta.ca/imaging/snfs/
It needs sec_rpc-1.54 compiled on the system, but this fails. It
seems to require perl version 5.006 or later, but FreeBSD-Stable comes
with perl version 5.005_03. So Stable is almost OK, but not quite.
Here is what happens:
[ ~/sec_rpc-1.54]$ ./configure
zip
[ ~/sec_rpc-1.54]$ make
zip
cd perl; perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Could not eval '
package ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version;

I went through 'A.5.3 CVSup Configuration' on
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
But I haven't had much confidence on myself, not
running the PC to an unstable state after upgrade.
Please provide me some advice on this respect

cvs-all (shall I add 'release=cvs' ???)
...
Can I create one 'supfile' to /etc/supfile and run
followings collectively (instead of to run each
'supfile' separately);
# cat /etc/supfile
src-all
doc-all ('release=cvs' ???)
cvs-all ('release=cvs' ???)
cvsroot-all ('release=cvs' ???)
ports-all ('release=cvs' ???)

I use 3 cvsup files: one fot the ports, one for the docs and one for the
system (src). This way I can update ports and docs more often and be
sure the system had known-to-be-working sources (I'm on -CURRENT).
My /etc/ports-supfile is:
*default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all
(Don't refuse categories in ports, when you'll try to `make index` I
will fail from time to time ).
In the /etc/current-supfile the line ports-all is replaced by src-all
and in /etc/doc-all by doc-all
If you don't follow -current you will want to change the dot from
tag=. in your branch.
then
# cvsup supfile
Is it necessary to run following trial test ???
# mkdir /var/tmp/dest
# cvsup supfile /var/tmp/dest
No.

Well, in /usr/ports :) It is a new thing so it will appear after you

I'm a huge FBSD fan, and i think the xbox would be an awesome server. It's small, it's got solid hardware, it's really easy to mod and install linux on --- so why not FBSD? The main reason for not having a FreeBSD distro for X-box is that the hardware by design is 0wn3d. Owned by Microsoft that is. While I appreciate every xbox that is sold Microsoft makes a loss on, I still couldn't be bothered. Microsoft (or whoever is doing to work) occasionally revises the firmware to stop non authorised mods from working. When this happens the boot loader has to be re-worked to suit the revision of the firmware. In short: Too hard for very little return. Think DCMA as you would circumventing the anti-piracy software/hardware. Personally I believe if you have bought the hardware, you should have all rights to that hardware except reproducing the hardware, but I am not about to get the soapbox out.

Re: the most light weight X web browser?
Dear Warren, I followed your advice about compiling Links so that it could run in graphics mode without X. This is REALLY COOL - one of the best tips I've received in a long time, and I thank you for it. However, I've run into one little glitch. As root, it works fine, but as a regular user, when I type: links -g -mode 640x480x16 I get this error message: svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions. No doubt it's a permissions error, but I'm not sure which/where permissions I should change. Any ideas?

In the port's Makefile it only turns on --enable-graphics if you compile it for X. (More specifically, it only turns on --enable-graphics if -DWITHOUT_X11 is not defined.) So to run it without X but with graphics, you'll have to modify the Makefile or just manually compile links. Just out of curiousity, I tried it just now. A quick hack to make it work: Make sure you have svgalib installed (/usr/ports/devel/svgalib). Remove the --without-svgalib from the first CONFIGURE_ARGS line. Add --enable-graphics to the same line.

RE: vinum striped volume has corrupt plex, help needed (resolved)
Final update on this chapter for all of you breathlessly waiting for word on what happened... :) turned out to be a couple of issues. The scsi cable seemed to be sensitive to it's route through the innards of my case, a little more interference in some spots perhaps. But the bigger issue was that the extra drive I added taxed my power supply just a bit too much. When the 5 baracudda drives were operational under vinum (and striping made them *all* active at once) the resultant strain on the PS lead to signal errors on the scsi bus (fast and wide but not differential). Powering off the new drive allowed me to restore vinum (thanks for the setstate, i needed it several times) and copy off the data to a network share. One think I noticed and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this. When my scsi drives were having difficulity, they would spin down to a lower speed. Sometimes they would spin down to several lower speeds and even stop on occasion before spinning back up. This was sometimes (but not always) accompanied by a bus free in data-in phase error message on the console. In severe cases there would be an entire scsi dump state on the console. Was the scsi driver telling the drives to spin down or were the drives doing it themselves? I've never seen that behaviour in other OSs. I'm wondering if the drives (i couldn't figure out which one was changing speed) were responding to PS voltage drops or something? Another thing One forgets the march of technology. I remember coding scsi drivers waay back when it was called sasi. Reverting my fast-wide-disconnectenabled-synchronous drives back to narrow-slow-nodisconnect and asynchronous (just like the original spec) made them very slow. took forever to dd them. And of course my scsi drives are slow by todays scsi standards... anyway, thanks all. -lee -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lee Dilkie Sent: Sunday, May 09, 2004 9:50 AM To: 'Greg 'groggy' Lehey' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: vinum striped volume has corrupt plex, help needed Update on my progress.

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
I tried your suggestion and so far so good. I'm still seeing a small amount of dns lookup stacking (IE if one request hasn't completed the others are put on hold till it's done rather than doing parallel lookups) that's stalling a few requests, but otherwise my browsing problem seems to be solved overall. I'd like to figure out how to drop my default dns timeout from 30 seconds to something like 7-10 seconds. Reason I'm thinking that is because my network is fast enough that if I haven't gotten an answer back within 7-10 seconds, I'm certainly not going to get one within 30. Now comes the fun of RTFM and figuring out if that's possible under freebsd. :D At 06:12 AM 5/9/04 -0600, Warren Block wrote: On Sat, 8 May 2004, Dragoncrest wrote: Still looking for answers.

Noted with tks My /etc/ports-supfile is: *default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix ports-all What will be the difference between *default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org and *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org (Don't refuse categories in ports, when you'll try to `make index` I will fail from time to time ). Could you please explain above in more detail. Tks In the /etc/current-supfile the line ports-all is replaced by src-all and in /etc/doc-all by doc-all If you don't follow -current you will want to change the dot from tag=. in your branch. Noted with thanks - snip - I could not locate /usr/ports/UPDATING where it is kept??? Well, in /usr/ports :) It is a new thing so it will appear after you cvsup. Noted. B.R.

Question Regarding the Applicability of the GNU General Public License / GNU Library General Public License
Dear Sir / Madam: I just went to the FreeBSD website (www.freebsd.org), and went to the The FreeBSD Copyright and Legal Information section. I see that two of the possible links are to the GNU General Public License and the GNU Library Public License (GPLs). Yet, there is no reference to the GPLs in any of the other links (e.g., The FreeBSD Copyright pages, the FreeBSD Ports redistribution restrictions pages, etc.). In sum, there is nothing that says why the GPL's are included as links or how they are applicable to the FreeBSD software at all. Please advise why these are provided at the FreeBSD website and when, if ever, they would apply to any use of the FreeBSD software. Thank you, David J.

See the end of the /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile for those. However 9 of 10 posts on ports@ regarding failed `make index` are because the poster has a partially cvsup'ed ports collection and because of that he runs into trouble. The time difference is not big; the INDEX-5 file on your system keeps track of ports and their dependencies and is by various pkg_* directly and port* tools indirectly. Also if you want a fast cvsup use `cvsup -s supfile` ; -s wound make cvsup to do less checks on you machine and the time will be significantly smaller; but from time to time do a complete cvsup (I do it before building the index). -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just for the record, replacing ttydX with cuaaX in /etc/ttys worked as should and solved the problem, so I guess the man gettytab needs either updating or something is wrong with the ttydX device driver.

FTP problem with IPFW
I have recently setup IPFW on my FreeBSD 5.2 Release server. I am running natd to provide inet to 5 LAN users. It also runs mail, apache web server amongst others. All seems to be working fine, except for FTP. The first two lines of my firewall file are: add 1000 allow tcp from any to any via ed0 out keep-state add 1100 allow udp from any to any via ed0 out keep-state ... then later in the file: add 3600 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 21 in via ed0 setup keep-state I thought this would be sufficient to establish and maintain FTP connections. I read through the mailing lists and it seems that FTP is tricky with IPFW and natd. Is there a simple solution to this problem? Can i just add some other rule to my firewall? I read something about natd punching through IPFW, is this the answer? Any information will be mouch appreciated.

Easy to install FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS® partition, or if you have a network connection, you can install it directly over anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a couple of formatted 1.44MB floppies and these directions. THIS IS NOT TRUE! - the installation actually is very difficult and so this Superior OS is not for 99.9% computer users - I'll probably kill my time only if I lost my job and stay home having nothing to do to configure how to install it. Comparing to Windows, this BSD is very dumb- want to me to tell it everything. No wonder it's Free. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD ports
Hi, I am running freeBSD 5.1. I read the handbook on updating the ports system. The updated ports were placed in the /home/ncvs/ports. I cd to the /home/ncvs/ports/3ddesktop. I typed the usual make install clean as root. I gotten this error message: make: don't know how to make install. Stop But, when I build from the default directory /usr/ports/package-name it compiles and install the package fine. The 33desktop is not in the /usr/ports directory, but in the /home/ncvs/ports directory. I want to install this package but I get the error above. If you can help, I surely appreciate it.

Re: OpenBSD/ (maybe FreeBSD) Firewall/Router/DNS
Sounds good to me but I'm still confused about how I need to set this up hardware wise. The link at freebsddiary sounds good to start with I guess. I don't know if I need any extra hardware either. I have at the moment 2 NICs and 2 crossover cables. Do I need more? Do I keep the NIC in this machine or do I move it to the machine that will be acting as a firewall/router/gateway? How do I set this up? Still confused on this part.

Don't forget, do I need any 'extra' hardware? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't speak for anyone else but myself, but here's my opinion on this. If you have an older box, you'll need 2 nics. One (external / serial interface) to the dsl modem (crossover cable), one to the lan side. If this is also to a PC, you'll need another crossover cable. If the old NEC is a 486 with at least 32 mb ram, that should be all you'll need hardware wise as long a it's got a couple of gig for drive space. If you want to enable full firewall logging, you'll need more disk space for that of course. What I'd recommend doing in your situation, is the same as I have here at home. Have the bsd box (I prefer freebsd myself) connect to your provider and pull the ip on the serial interface, then assign a private ip to the internal nic and to the systems behind it on the lan. Then on the bsd box, enable nat and the first rule of your firewall will be a divert rule to pass everything to NAT. For more info on this and it's configuration, check out http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html or http://www.freebsddiary.org/ipfw.php If you're still wanting more info, then I'd recommend a google search for freebsd natd and / or freebsd ipfw to get a lot of good and useful info.

natd high cpu use
Hey all, I just set up a 4.9based router for my home office last week and I noticed this morning that it was slow. So I logged in and threw up a top session and saw this: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZERES STATETIME WCPUCPU COMMAND 88 root 53 0 33988K 33792K RUN427:02 94.43% 94.43% natd I then did this: gate# tcpdump -i rl1 -n not tcp port 22 tcpdump: listening on rl1 And saw almost zero traffic. I rebooted thinking natd may have run away with itself for some reason and upon reboot it came up with top taking about 16% CPU. After a whopping 2 minutes or so natd is now taking 65-95% of the cpu time again. This box is an AMD 350MHz with 256MB of old SDRAM. Not a bragload of power but it should be overkill for splitting out routing and nat services for 1-4 workstations surfing the web. This behavior was *not* present until this morning and I have added nothing. Thnx for any insight or troublshooting tips you have, I already googled and came up craps. = --- With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with science. --Carl Sagan --- __ Do you Yahoo!?

Do I keep the NIC in this machine or do I move it to the machine that will be acting as a firewall/router/gateway? How do I set this up? Still confused on this part. Another recommendation (although slightly outdated) is : http://mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ (take a look at the dual-homed system howto). You ideally need 2 NIC's in your NEC machine that you want to use as a gateway/router/firewall.* Then, assuming that you want to connect to the internet on another computer, you need a NIC in that machine. If you have more than one computer besides the NEC, then you need NIC's for those machines and a hub in between. Take a look at the HARDWARE text for whatever version of FreeBSD you are installing to make sure it supports your NIC's. If you load the system and find that the NIC's aren't supported, you will have wasted a bit of time... (I'd be surprised, though, if you have a NIC that isn't supported... never met one myself.) So, the diagram looks a bit like this: xDSL/Cable Modem -- cable/crossover cable -- NIC1 | NEC | NIC2 -- cable/crossover cable -- *inside* computer where the NEC is the machine doing the NAT/Firewalling and Routing. The xDSL/Cable Modem simply gives you your connection to the net. As far as configuring the NEC, you need to spend some time to understand what NAT is and what you want to be able to do with your *inside* computers. Most of the ipfw howto's have pretty good rulesets to work with, so you don't have to worry so much about that issue - but you should eventually take time to really understand what your firewall is actually doing. hth, Steve Fettig * I say *ideally* because you *can* do it with one NIC - but that really defeats the purpose of setting that machine up as your gateway/router/firewall due to the ability for someone to spoof an address from the internal network.

Streaming Audio
Greetings, I have a 5.1-release box at home that I would like to put my personal mp3's on. I want to listen to them on any computer on my home lan. Several on the PC's on my home lan are Microsoft windows. What are some ideas so that I can access them ? Samba seems a bit overkill. What about apache running on the box, serving up dynamic pages listing the mp3's. When you click on the link it launches windows media player (or real player) so that you can listen. Anyway, I would appreciate any ideas on this matter. thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
