You're going to need > some serious firepower to scan all attachments for 25000 users. It depends on how much email these users are generating. I'm an admin for a small CS department at a liberal arts college. We support around 250 users (math, physics, CS, alums, and professors). On a normal day, we process between 1000 and 3000 messages. Our email server is a Dell Poweredge 2650 with dual 2.8GHz processors and 1GB of RAM. We run Sendmail with MailScanner, which in turn invokes its own testing rubrics and disarming routines along with SpamAssassin and ClamAV. Benchmarking this system indicated that we could process over 1,000,000 messages a day. And with MailScanner, incoming mail will queue up if MailScanner can't keep up for a while, so you never actually send back the temporary failure codes you have to use with milters. This system is hardly "big iron" (or any kind of iron, for that matter), and cost less than $5000. If he supports 25,000 users, he should be able to scare up at least that much money. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ pgpK92bjvrM5N.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'd highly recommend Squirrelmail (http://www.squirrelmail.org). I use it on a couple servers at work (a campus-wide server, and a server specific to the CS department), and it works great. It's got a good plugin system, and is reasonably fast (and with options to make it very fast). Another one to look at is OpenWebmail (http://openwebmail.org). I haven't used this in a production environment, so I don't have much practical knowledge of it. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ pgpub1JvftV7J.pgp Description: PGP signature

Please take this new platform into consideration for when > recommending new hardware. Although I can highly recommend Dell systems, FreeBSD has an annoying bug wrt to their 1U system (the Poweredge 1750) where the SCSI bus will hang if you have more than one device installed at boot time. This apparently doesn't happen if you have the $400 RAID option card installed; it only happens when the SCSI bus is a plain SCSI bus. Other than that, I've been very happy with Poweredges. We also have 2650 running FreeBSD 4.10, and it's been a pleasure to work with. It's blazingly fast (especially compared to our old dual P-III setup), reliable, and has FreeBSD support for *everything*. There's a software utility for the PERC RAID card (aaccli), a kernel support for the remote-access controller, etc. I'd highly recommend it. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ pgp3IUGX3xVRI.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: FreeBSD weakness(It's not. hear my story)
Hi Lloyd, Let me share you my experience with learning freebsd. I promise you... you'll throw away those expensive books that you have bought after reading my story.. A few months ago, I was totally a Windows user. I've already heard about Linux from a friend but not exactly Unix.. That friend of mine was convincing me to use the same OS he's using but I refused to cause I've seen nothing graphical with he's OS(running the whole thing in Terminal without using any Desktop environment). But then something bright have sparked in my mind and decided to search Google for "best Operating System". And so I've landed on Windows, Freebsd, MacOS and, Linux comparison.. Of the four OS's featured, I've never heard anything about FreeBSD and so I went to their site to find out more... And my journey began there... After finishing the installation of Freebsd(using only the handbook and nothing else) I've landed on this so called terminal.. Mind you, I'm completely new to Unix and I know not a thing, not even the "ls" command.. Learning that FreeBSD is a Unix like operating system, I began searching google for "Unix commands" and I've downloaded something in PDF format comparing the commands in MSDOS(which I'm used with) and those that are used in Unix.. And that's it!!! With a few resources at hand I was able to do all of the things I used to do in Windows without having too much trouble in FreeBSD.. Now, I'm still reading FreeBSD's Handbook and I'm already on the Chapter 19-Advance Networking.. preparing my self for a career in Networking being just a fresh graduate.. I tell you... learning one thing is not about the those fancy Documents and instructions that would help you out along the way... It's about having that willingness and passion to learn that thing.. It's about having the confidence that, "hey, if they've learned this, why can't I?!" Knowledge is a long race, and don't you worry my friend.. you're not the last in this race... 'cause no one has ever gone too far.. Hope this thought would help you out and all of those beginners like "us" whom would want to dwell into the simple but complicated world of Unix computing...

You might want to try installing FreeBSD stable without X, and then once installed go to: /usr/ports/x11/xorg And install this meta port of the X.Org X11R6.7.0 release. Once installed, follow the instructions at: http://freedesktop.org/XOrg/ConfigurationHelp I found that the best way to configure X11R6.7.0 is to first run (as root) X -configure, which does an excellent job of detecting my hardware. I next copy the resultant configuration file to the correct location as decribed, then carry out final tweaking using both manual editing of the config file and xorgcfg -textmode. X11R6.7.0 performs much more satisfactorily with my ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card and Iiyaya Vision Master 1451 monitor than I have been able to persuade XFree86 4.3.0 to do, and what helps greatly is that post installation configuration is simplicity itself. -- Anthony Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: FreeBSD weakness.
Hi Lloyd: I heartily recommend "FreeBSD: An Open-Source OS for your PC". by Annelise Anderson http://www.bsdmall.com/freebosforyo.html This is the book for absolute beginners. If you think a port is a place where ships dock and bash is a goth discoteque dance, then this is the book you should be reading. The next great resource are the tutorials by Dru Lavigne: FreeBSD Basics http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 Whether judged by pedagogic, technical or literary standards, Dru's articles are works of high perfection. Finally, I recommend getting Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD". The book is a great resource for technical details about FreeBSD 5.X. I found the sections on TCP/IP and the etc file system to be very helpfully. HTH Jonathan > I finally decided that I needed to get more information on FreeBSD.

Re: Mounting a multicard reader (FBSD)
Fantastic! Thanks, Scott!
That did the trick!
At 01:31 AM 20/06/2004, you wrote:
What does 'camcontrol devlist' say? Probably it will just list one device
(da0) that - as you've found - corresponds with the CF slot on your card
reader. The other slots are probably mapped to other LUNs (Logical Unit
Numbers) on the same SCSI device number. The CAM framework only probes LUN
0 by default, so you only see the first slot. For example, when my machine
boots, I have:
# camcontrol devlist
at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da4)
which happens to by the SD/MMC slot on my four-slot reader. To make the
other slots visible I do:
# camcontrol rescan 2:0:1
# camcontrol rescan 2:0:2
# camcontrol rescan 2:0:3
# camcontrol devlist
at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da4)
at scbus2 target 0 lun 1 (da5,pass1)
at scbus2 target 0 lun 2 (da6,pass2)
at scbus2 target 0 lun 3 (da7,pass3)
where the '2' and '0' come from the 'scbus' and 'target' parts of the
devlist output - these will probably be different for your system. So now
I have da{5,6,7} corresponding to the SmartMedia, CF and Memory Stick slots
on my reader.
I actually have all those 'camcontrol rescan' commands in my /etc/usbd.conf
file, so everything is set up automatically when the reader is detected.
You might also want to look into using the automounter to avoid having to
mount things manually - it's pretty convenient to be able to plug in a card
then just 'cd /flash/cf' (or whatever) to access it. Dan Pelleg wrote a
pretty good article about this on DaemonNews last year:

How can I get some kind of output that assures me that those volumes are indeed UFS2 volumes ? How do I verify that ? Second, where can I find documentation on ufs2 and snapshotting, etc. ?

I'm using Cyrus IMAP (and POP) on my FreeBSD server. There is no direct correlation between Cyrus accounts and system accounts, unless you go out of your way to make it so. Authentication can be against a private database, Kerberos, an LDAP server, or anything else you can bind Cyrus SASL to.

I think this advice is correct if the router is set up just so. It could break your network connection if not. What sort of service do you have? e.g. DSL, cable modem, T1, ...? Did your ISP assign you a fixed IP address (or block of addresses)? More information might help you get a better quality answer.

I would have to disgree having my first *nix experience five years ago with Mandrake and switching to FreeBSD a number of months ago. I switched to FreeBSD because I felt my unix skills were getting rusty. When I started with Mandrake I did most of my system configuration and administration from the command line and I learned a lot of unix in those first few years. Over time with the inclusion of more GUI based tools that became harder. Files seemed to keep moving or configuration was spread across too many files.

Of the free OSs I think the different BSDs tend to be the better documented. Along with the man pages (don't short them, some can be obtuse at times but overall they give me what I need most of the time), this has served as my primary source of documentation for FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html Book wise, there are more on Linux. This is starting to change though which is great. I think what you are looking for isn't necessarilly a FreeBSD specific book, though having at least one is great, but a general unix primer to help you get more familiar with unix concepts. I remember when I started toying around with linux and stared at the command line not knowing what to do. I had "Running Linux" back then which had a great intro to such things like file permissions, users/groups, and navigating around the system. Since I really can't from looking at my bookshelf, can anyone recommend a book with a few good chapters on general unix concepts to get a completely green user familiar and comfortable with "the way things are done"? Comming from $OTHER_OS to unix can be daunting but once you get the basics down, you start to complain that $OTHER_OS is too hard to do what you want. :) Tom > I have decided that it is a very good operating system which I need to > learn more about.

Heh. Not really. For instance, it wouldn't suit me. I know it sounds a bit selfish, but I mean that someone, somewhere will want their ports trimmed in size and features to suit exactly what they need and only that. Building all the features and all the possible modules of all the packages and installing all of them, at the same time, is the "Redhat, Mandrake and Fedora philosophy" that I specifically wanted to avoid when I first came to BSD.

I've never actually seen an example of assigning multiple IPs for a second subnet under FreeBSD. route add 63.223.65.193 63.223.65.1 This is broken. You're saying "route any traffic this host is sending, destined for itself, to an external gateway".

problems installing applications that need GTK

Trying to install by FTP with sysinstall always results in errors and sysinstall core dumps when it's accessing the cdrom. Also installing from the ports results in a lot of errors.

Re: FreeBSD 5.2.1 - Joke-only release ? April Fools ??
So the question is, has any person, anywhere, at any time, successfully installed 5.2.1-RELEASE on any hardware whatsoever ? Or is it just a practical joke release ? I'm not going to tell you again that the installation media is bad, because everybody else said that already. But something that I do wish to say is that I am wondering why it is always the fault of the software, and not the person itself. I mean, think about it, do you truely think a project like FreeBSD would release software that is _that_ unstable? Thousands, ten thousands of people are using it daily for their server or workstation needs. Aren't you going to think then that it might be a problem which lies with you and not the software? Why don't we take our friend Bill's software for example? Starting from Windows NT4, it has been a good operating system for both servers and workstations. You can't say it's bad, because it's probably being maintained by a bad system adminstrator then. It's the programs running on Windows that can make it run bad (spyware, malware, viruses, bad drivers, name it up). People always bash Microsoft for security exploits, but FreeBSD and Linux people have to patch their machines as well because of security exploits. Why don't they ever give a kick when they have to patch their *nix machine, and they all blame, curse, troll and flame on Microsoft and Windows, but we forget that Windows developers are humans as well. Anyway, this is going too much offtopic. Pardon my obvious frustration, but I am quite tired of people bashing and trolling on software like this before they even think about their problem. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, you can use layer-2 bridging to forward network traffic to any directly connected physical subnet you want to, and you can use "ifconfig alias" to give machines on that subnet multiple IPs. If a machine sees traffic to its MAC address and/or is in promiscuous mode (which is what a FreeBSD bridge sets the interfaces it uses to), the machine will pay attention to those packets. If the packets contain IP addresses which the machine believes belong to it, then it will respond appropriately. Frankly, however, I suspect that you are confusing yourself more than you are solving the problem you actually want to solve. :-) Given a sufficiently complex set of firewall rules, packet forwarding, NAT re-writing, and whatever else, you can mangle packets in pretty much any way one can think of. Do this only when you need to, to the extent that is useful.

What does 'camcontrol devlist' say? Probably it will just list one device
(da0) that - as you've found - corresponds with the CF slot on your card
reader. The other slots are probably mapped to other LUNs (Logical Unit
Numbers) on the same SCSI device number. The CAM framework only probes LUN
0 by default, so you only see the first slot. For example, when my machine
boots, I have:
# camcontrol devlist
at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da4)
which happens to by the SD/MMC slot on my four-slot reader. To make the
other slots visible I do:
# camcontrol rescan 2:0:1
# camcontrol rescan 2:0:2
# camcontrol rescan 2:0:3
# camcontrol devlist
at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da4)
at scbus2 target 0 lun 1 (da5,pass1)
at scbus2 target 0 lun 2 (da6,pass2)
at scbus2 target 0 lun 3 (da7,pass3)
where the '2' and '0' come from the 'scbus' and 'target' parts of the
devlist output - these will probably be different for your system. So now
I have da{5,6,7} corresponding to the SmartMedia, CF and Memory Stick slots
on my reader.
I actually have all those 'camcontrol rescan' commands in my /etc/usbd.conf
file, so everything is set up automatically when the reader is detected.
You might also want to look into using the automounter to avoid having to
mount things manually - it's pretty convenient to be able to plug in a card
then just 'cd /flash/cf' (or whatever) to access it. Dan Pelleg wrote a
pretty good article about this on DaemonNews last year:
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200305/cfmount.html
Hope that's some help to you,
Scott

Look at mountd(8) for the server side of managing NFS -- use the '-p' options to specify a port to listen on for NFS mount requests. Port 2049 is the traditional port number for NFS, but portmap(8) generally only treats that as a guideline, so unless you force it, NFS can use just about any high numbered port. Make sure you firewall off port 111 very carefully on any system running portmap(8) [4.x] or rpcbind(8) [5.x] -- (same program, just renamed between system versions) exposed to the Internet. RPC is a favourite and generally very fruitful attack vector. On the client, you will need to use tcp as the transport -- not all clients will support that -- and you can specify what port to contact the server on in /etc/fstab, thus bypassing the usual portmapper procedure. See the descriptions of the '-T' and '-o port' options in mount_nfs(8). As others have mentioned, this would be a good situation in which to use an IPSEC tunnel or similar between server and client -- NFS traffic is vulnerable to snooping and exposes the contents of your harddrive.

This is preferable from the end-user's perspective, but I think it would exponentially increase the number of precompiled binaries the mirrors would have to keep available. If a port has 3 options and depends on another with 4 options, to host every possible combination that one might want on the FTP site 12 different combinations would have to be built and packaged! With thousands of ports in the tree this means a mind-boggingly huge number of different builds and packages can be built. Is it possible to satisfy all the users with precompiled packages?

memory
Greetings I've added a gig of memory to a 5.1 system. When booting, it shows 1024 meg. Looking in the dmesg log, it says: real memory = 268414976 (255 MB) avail memory = 251363328 (239 MB) I would expect to see real memeory at 1024 also What don't I understand thanks...

FreeBSD Wiki
Hi All, I was just wondering something :- I have used in the past Trustix Linux which has a nice Wiki page http://doc.trustix.org/cgi-bin/trustixdoc.cgi?TrustixWiki It includes some nice step by step configs for that distro and I think its great that peeps can add there own info and collaborate in this way. I wrote the small part on Samba. (Ok its basic stuff but usefull if you are starting out) Whilst the mailing lists are great, searchable etc things do get lost in time. Wouldnt it be great if there was a user cookbook for commonly required tasks (how many times has this list had the same questions asked :) Examples:- 1) Installing PostNuke on 5.2.1 2) Serving anonymous FTP 3) Creating a LAN Mail Hub Is there any such resource for FreeBSD ? (I am guessing that there is more official documentation but that this is less task / step orientated ?) If not - fancy starting one ?? :)) I have only got ADSL and an old box but would be willing to host it. All you have to do is help me get the software up and running :)) g:o) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

CMS Software
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can comment on the following :- I am looking to install some CMS software and to run my web site long term on FreeBSD. I am thinking something on the lines of phpWebsite, PostNuke/PhpNuke or similar (ie easy for me to install and maintain / update - don't need buckets of features just basic simple / effective / reliable) I'll need Apache, MySQL, PHP I read somewhere once that after the initial install and update of FreeBSD all that was required was a simple make in the postnuke ports directory and this action woudl go away and fetch everything that was required, install it and write out basic / sensible conf files then run the appropriate services. If this is true, and it works then I am even more impressed with FreeBSd than I first thought. So, if you are using any kind of CMS for your website and have done the above can you make recommendations ?

We should change it. :-) FWIW, I have managed to get 5.2.1 to install on a LAM test system (ironic?) at work, once I set the CDROM to master on it's own channel (I had to remove the jumpter to install 4.9 because it crashed at boot until I did; 5.2.1 crashed at boot until I set it to the opposite way). I had burned the 2 meg install floppy to a small CD to install it after checking the MD5 sums. It sounds like your install images or floppies were bad. I'd doublecheck the MD5's and if they check out, re-image some floppies (or try putting it on a CD...they tend to be more resilient). -Bart ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

However, it ultimately turned out to be a bad data cable to the hard drive, so see if you've got a good spare lying around to give that a try.

Best regards, I didn't see the beginning of the thread. But I had a similar problem on my desktop machine using (I think) 4.9-Release. It started when I had to change the motherboard. The new one came w/ an SiS chipset that wasn't supported by FreeBSD. I solved the problem by adding a line to /sys/dev/ata/ata-dma.c. It worked for a few weeks w/o any problems until I switched to RELENG_5_2 for various other reasons. You might want to post what chipset your mainboard uses.
