Portupgrade should handle this correctly; when deleting old packages
during an upgrade, it moves the shared libraries to compat/pkg so old
binaries can still use them.  If passed -PP, portupgrade will only use
packages (with one -P, it will try and fetch a package but if it can't
or the package is too old, it will build from source).

Portupgrade is not in the base system because it requires Ruby, and
scripting languages (apart from Bourne shell script :) change far too
often to be in the base system.  They're better off as ports so they
can be updated more frequently.

I'll let someone else answer your questions about frequency of port
builds and why pkg_add doesn't fetch the latest ones.  You can take a
look at http://bento.freebsd.org and/or http://pointyhat.freebsd.org to
see when the last full package buld was.

Our package system: "Fundamentally Flawed" - A Linux User.

[Travis Poppe]

Hello all,

I have a few questions about our package system.

Many would agree that the FreeBSD ports system can be quite efficient and 
easy to use. Upgrading ports isn't usually a problem (unless something breaks), 
and installing them is usually only a command away.

Many would also agree that building massive amounts of software from source is 
NOT efficient for a desktop user and binary packages are a more suitable 
alternative.

My question regards our binary package system. I have always avoided using it
due to dependancy conflicts and outdated software packages. Keeping an up-to-date
system with our packages does not seem to be a likely possibility at the moment.

I would like to elaborate on what I mean by "dependancy conflicts" for lack of 
a better description.

When using 'pkg_add -r package' to install a port and its dependancies, pkg_add
will check to see if you already have some of the dependancies before 
downloading and installing them for you. If there are version differences, it
will warn you but the installation will still proceed.

This is where the problem lies.

Say for example I have a copy of gettext-0.13 on my system and one of the binary
packages I'm attempting to install was compiled and linked against gettext-0.12?

Instead of downloading and installing the other version of gettext along with
the existing one as to not break the linked libs (because gettext-0.13 uses 
a different library name) like it should, pkg_add only gives a warning and an 
assumption that the install went well.

Now, the user goes to run the package and gets a big fat error: libintl.so.X
not found.

For a user like myself, this is no problem. I can recognize the error and figure
out how to fix it manually. For a user considering switching to FreeBSD from 
Linux, this is considered a "fundamental flaw" in our package system and may 
lead to a very annoying flame war. Can this be fixed? Why hasn't it been fixed?
Am I doing something wrong? Has it been fixed?

Another issue. What about upgrading? How often are packages rebuilt and can 
they be easily upgraded without worrying about issues such as the one described
above?

I've been told they are rebuilt about once a month or so. Are these new
packages that are being rebuilt automatically defaulted to by pkg_add -r? 
With my experience, I usually end up with very old packages when using this
method. 

I hope I've made myself clear, and please correct me if I'm mistaken about any 
of the topics I've mentioned in this email. I'd like to know the answers to
these questions so I can answer questions brought up by those who may be
future FreeBSD users.

Regards,

-Travis Poppe

Umm.  You're trying to install the freebsd ports collection on a Mac 
running what?  FreeBSD/ppc or OS X?  If FreeBSD, ok, but I didn't 
realize that architecture port was complete.  If OS X, the FreeBSD 
ports aren't what you need.  Try here:  http://fink.sourceforge.net/  
or here:  http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/.  Both use cvsup for 
updates.

ports on OS X

So my wife has decided to use a mac.

Having been a Mac Advocate for years I was ok with it. I wish she would
have gone with a faster model but oh well.

She is being kind enough to let me play. I have to say this is pretty sweet.

Down to the questions. Any one know how I can get the ports collection on

[Gary Kline]

Folks,


I've made a little progress in switching my DNS servers and getting
mail working correctly. Things were hung until I did a kill -9 of
sendmailImmediately affter that mail began flowing into
/var/mail here on sage (NS1).

My DNS server is rugged but slow and old;  I  want mail to flow 
over to tao.thought.org (10.0.0.247).   I've tried *everything*
in /etc/mail I can think of, but instead of going over to tao
mail is delivered here.  I also have 'kline' accounts on
sartre.thought.org and ethic.thought.org.   Same thing.  Anything
is delivered here.

Does anyone have any insights?

thanks much,

gary

The portname (the directory name) is probably inconsistent with the
PORTNAME in the Makefile for the port. To correct it, do this:

grep PORTNAME /usr/ports/astro/Makefile

Then use the the value of PORTNAME with portinstall:

portinstall xworld

When you say you tried executing "setup" from the command line:

1. Were you in a console or a terminal window in X?
2. What directory were you in?
3. What did you type, exactly, to execute "setup"?

Best of luck,

Re: PPPoE misbehaving?

[Chris Knipe]

Hi Gleb,

I'm afraid to say it still does exactly the same... No change what so
ever...

pppoed:
su-2.05b# /usr/libexec/pppoed -Fd -P /var/run/pppoed.pid -a pppoe -p * -l
pppoe ath0
Sending NGM_LISTHOOKS to ath0:

  Got [1]:orphans -> [4]:ethernet
Sending PPPOE_LISTEN to .:pppoe-601, provider *
pppoed[601]: Listening as provider *

tcpdump:

04:11:48.195504  PPPoE PADI [Service-Name] [Host-Uniq UTF8]

HOWEVER!

When I start PPPOE on ath0 (Wireless), and rl0 (cabled), there is definate
differences

ath0:
su-2.05b# /usr/libexec/pppoed -Fd -P /var/run/pppoed.pid -a pppoe -p * -l
pppoe ath0
Sending NGM_LISTHOOKS to ath0:
Got reply from id [1]: Type ether with 1 hooks
  Got [1]:orphans -> [4]:ethernet
Sending PPPOE_LISTEN to .:pppoe-601, provider *
pppoed[601]: Listening as provider *

rl0:

Sending PPPOE_LISTEN to .:pppoe-602, provider *
pppoed[602]: Listening as provider *
pppoed[602]: Got 60 bytes of data:

So yes... Exactly the same program, modules, and configuation works with the

Its a FreeBSD partition from another box.

However the drive itself is not showing up when I do a "usbdevs -d -v".

This is the problem I am having. I know how to mount and all that stuff,
just not exactly what I need to do to get FreeBSD to see the drive

Re: How to send attached files on sendmail with mail tool?

Carla,

cat file | uuencode tgt_filname | mail -s "subject" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can send .tgz, .tar.gz, .xls, .csv, ... files using this method..

Ie any file at all as the uuencode does all the necessaries to make the

subject can be derived from shell script variables if necessary.

smc 2602w r3 using if_ndis on 5.2.1

[Svein Halvor Halvorsen]

Copying

src/sys/modules/if_ndis
src/sys/modules/ndis
src/sys/compat/ndis
src/sys/dev/if_ndis

... from a current source-tree to my 5.2.1-box, and compiling using a
ndis_driver_data.h made from the latest driver found on SMC's website
using a ndisctl on my current system, seems to work fine.

kldload-ing ndis also seems to work. But when I kldload if_ndis, the
system freezes. No error messages, no response. A cold boot is the only
thing that seems to fix it.

Is this supposed to work, or am I trying to do the impossible here?
Any hints would be appreciated.


Svein Halvor


Btw: ndisctl choked on the inf-file, because of a missing newline at the
end. The fact that the syntax error occured on the last line, hinted on a
missing newline, but I think ndisctl should either give a more precise
error message, or preferable just cope with a missing newline.

cvs history

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

I want to see the changes made to a specific kernel source file
between Freebsd 4.9 and 4.10.  I seem to recall seeing a web page
where you can check the revision history for the kernel source tree,
but I can't seem to find it.  Can anyone pass me the url or another
way to view the revision histories?

TIA,

Trouble installing OpenOffice1.1.2 on 4.10

[Peter Ryan]

Hi

I am trying to get OO 1.1.2 running on 4.10
I have KDE installed.

I have managed to install the software, but
now I cannot run it.

When I installed, I could not execute the installation instructions
from a command line as requested, but there were 
no permission problems as suggested.

Eventually I tried double clicking "setup" from KDE.

This appeared to work well. OO installed, and I could
see new OO entries in the KDE menus.

However, when I try to start Calc or Writer from KDE,
I get no response. The disk is not active, there is no
window or error message - nothing seems to happen.
KDE appears to remain fully functional - I can still
browse, look at files etc etc.

I dont knwo what is wrong here.

I was thinking of uninstalling OO and trying again, but
I dont have the slightest idea how to uninstall it.

(I am very very new to this OS)

All help much appreciated
Thanks
Peter

Try to activate this paragraph in ng_pppoe.c:

#if 0
#define AAA printf("pppoe: %s\n", __func__ );
#define BBB printf("-%d-", __LINE__ );
#else
#define AAA
#define BBB
#endif

I mean change "if 0" to "if 1". Then rebuild a new ng_pppoe.ko. Then
try to connect, ensure that you see PADI's with tcpdump. And then
report what do you have (or have not) logged on console.

Thanks.

Seems like the issue is either with network driver or ng_pppoe, not with
pppoed daemon.

Hi Gleb and the rest,

Thank you all for the replies.  The card is a Senao NL-2054PCI, based on the
Atheros chipset... pciconf -lv reports:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9:0:  class=0x02 card=0x2027168c chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device   = '802/11b/g AR5212 wireless Adapter'
class= network
subclass = ethernet

As I did indicate, the card is working and functioning properly - I am 99%
sure it is a problem related with PPPoEd, or something in regards to PPPoE
over the Ethernet card (which, can also be possible I guess).  I've tried
all the other suggestions that was made, and none of them seemed to have
changed anything.  From what I can see, the client sends and attempts to
initiate the PPPoE connection properly, but the PPPoE daemon does not
receive the packets / or does not initiate a session - which, needs to be
completed before any sub processes will be spawned.

It's quite urgent that I get this working An alternative would be to
port the ath drivers to the 4.X tree - but I really don't think that's even
a option I can only imagine the amount of work that would be required
for this.  Are there possibly any other open source PPPoE Daemons available
that I can possibly try on FreeBSD 5.2??

Look forward to hearing from you all

Well, in fact I do *not* untar the file... it is done automatically by the

Funny. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong here. Unless, of course, 
it "Saw EOF" a little early. What did debug level 2 tell you? I know 
mine said something about some filter somewhere that was needed, but not 
found.

This is mysterious. You're sure that the problem is with CUPS? The 
printer works from, say, Windows? It _could_ be that the printer just 
gobbles up jobs, but doesn't actually print them. Just maybe... Just 
exhausting possibilities here.

You need to provide some additional information.

1. What filesystem has the drive been formatted with? If its NTFS, I
suggest you re-format the drive using FAT32 because you don't have
NTFS support in your kernel config, and even if you did, the drive
will not be of much use to you in FreeBSD as NTFS support is not all
that great.

2. What's the mount command you're using to mount the drive? I use the
following to mount my external USB2 drive:

# mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ext

And it works perfectly with both USB and FireWire, better under
FireWire, if you ask me. ;-)

Re: tar: /dev/sa0

[Jamie]

   The error means that the file was not specified in the tar command. If
you don't add the -f switch to tar, it will assume you are trying to work
with a tape drive (/dev/sa0). Your tar command is defaulting to that, and
that is why you are getting that error message.

/dev/sa0 is the default tape drive.  If you don't specify a place to put

pserver unavailable for anoncvs.freebsd.org

[Ralph Hempel]

I've been messing around with building ports directly from
cvs. The examples in the anoncvs section of the Handbook indicate
that the pserver access method is available for:

  anoncvs.freebsd.org

ie

  setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs

Should allow a cvs login using "anoncvs" as the password.

Unfortunately, we get this error:

  cvs [login aborted]: connect to anoncvs.FreeBSD.org(128.46.156.46):2401
  failed: Connection refused

Is this because pserver has been disabled on that server,
because the connection limit has been exceeded, or some
other issue?

Note that I've been able to use pserver for other servers listed
in anoncvs just fine.

Cheers, Ralph

Well, I changed my loglevel to just debug, and here are the last 75 lines of 
my logfile.  The top most are the ones we're concerned with.

Thanks.

OK.  I was never able to get Partition Magic to do anything that required 
actually mucking with the slice sizes with an installed one - when that 
meant resizing the actuall slice I was booted on.   I had to make
the boot floppies and that worked just fine - with somewhat less pretty
graphics (but who cares).

Nope. There's nothing helpful there that I can see. Only this seems
related:

Jul 18 17:13:36 calliope /kernel: IP packet filtering initialized, \
  divert enabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to deny, \
  logging limited to 10 packets/entry by default

...and that seems right.

I need NAT, because I need machines inside the LAN to serve certain
ports. (15000, as you can see from the line from natd.conf.)

Yes.
Just use awk to extract the number.  One way to handle it would be to write 
each add rule to a text file.  Then, when you want to delete the rule, you 
grab the IP address from the text file, and then use awk to find the right 
rule.  Something like this:

${fwcmd} delete `awk '/$IP/ {print $1}'`

Partition Magic has been the only one readily available off the

I tried Acronis a year or two ago, and it seemed to work OK, but it

See mtree(8) Look at /etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist,
/etc/mtree/BSD.sendmail.dist and /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist which covers
most of those two partitions.

In order to apply the default settings:

# mtree -p /usr -U /etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist

and similar for the /var partition stuff.

Cheers,

Matthew

OT: Postfix virtual setup with procmail delivery for one specific virtual domain

[Remko Lodder]

Hello,
I know that this question is OffTopic. Still i want to ask it to you 
guys since the host system is FreeBSD.

I have implemented Postfix/SASL2/MySQL/Courier-Imap/Amavisd-new on my 
FreeBSD mailserver.

Now i am migrating my mailserver to another host {still my own host} and 
i take the maildomain of a friend along. So that means my current setup 
will be expanded by his domain.

Currently i am using virtual delivery (transport elvandar.org virtual:) 
so it gets dropped in the mailpath i designated in the MySQL backend.
Besides that i have mailman running on my machine, providing 
mailarchives {no subscriptions etc} for $internet (local delivery).

So far so good..
Now the new maildomain used procmail as delivery agent and he wants to 
use that again (filters and so on). With the current virtual setup that 
is not possible i think, so i think i need to create a master.cf line 
using procmail delivery..

Since i make use of the maildir format , procmail should be doing that, 
and get his information from the MySQL db which tells it where to put 
the email for that domain { i dont want that email to get in local 
homedirs etc. }, and it should run as the postfix user since that is the 
only one permitted to read from the maildir's specified in the named 
MySQL db.

Does anyone know if that is possible?
Oh Procmail is used since it has some filters for the guy so his mail 
gets sorted into some folders...

ipfw rule deletion

[Aaron Dalton]

I am using Doorman (http://doorman.sourceforge.net)as a port knocking
daemon and I need to write a short script that adds and deletes rules to
the ipfw firewall.  I can add them just fine, but I can't find the best
way to delete them.  Is the only way to specify the exact rule number?
Below is the add script itself.  Thanks for your help!

#!/bin/sh
#
#  file "ipfw_add"
#  Sample firewall-add script, called by "doormand".
#  This example can be used by systems which use ipfw.
#
#  Called with five arguments:
#
# $1 : name of the interface (e.g. eth0)
# #2 : source IP; i.e. dotted-decimal address of the 'knock' client
# $3 : source port; when this script is called for the first time
#  for a connection (man 8 doormand), this argument will be set
#  to a single "0" (0x30) character.  This means that the source
#  port is not yet known, and a broad rule allowing any source
#  port is required.
# $4 : destination IP; that is, the IP address of the interface
#  in argument 1.
# $5 : The port number of the requested service (e.g. 22 for ssh, etc.)
#
#
if [ $3 = 0 ]
then
ipfw  addallow log tcp   from $2  to $4 $5   in  setup
keep-state
else
ipfw  addallow log tcp   from $2 $3   to $4 $5   in  setup
keep-state
fi

err=$?

if [ $err = 0 ]
then
echo 0
else
echo $err 3  The firewall_add script sez: "Dang."

Just to check with anyone, is there a "list" of default permission for /usr and /var

I kinda srew up somewhere and now can't remember what is the actual permission for 
this 2 folder structure and all the related files inside.

WOOHOO!!! That did it. I have been struggling with this solid since
wednesday to get this up color me grinnin'!

The final problem that I had was I was specifying the virtual domain
in the user list instead of the base domain of the system, and not
specifying the domain in the smtp login.

Many many thanks to Remko, Paul and Josh... you each helped me fix a
piece of this!

Re: FreeBSD 5.1 <-> WinXP Networking Problem UPDATE #2

[freebsder]

Hi Mark,

I put in: 
natd_flags="-dynamic"
But I could not get it up and running.

Btw, previously, what I've been doing to get the
machine on line was typing in:

# ipfw add 100 allow tcp from any to any via any
00100 allow tcp from any to any
# ipfw add 100 allow ip from any to any via any
00100 allow ip from any to any

I'm doing this because this allows me to surf the web
and download my Email respectively.  So when I do an
ipfw, I get:

# ipfw -a list
00100 308 68064 allow tcp from any to any
00100  38  3187 allow ip from any to any
65535 337 23993 deny ip from any to any

Now, after I made the change you suggested and
rebooted, I got:
# ipfw -a list
00050 276 17396 divert 8668 ip from any to any via
tun0
00100 134 14156 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200   0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300   0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000   0 0 allow ip from any to any
65535   0 0 deny ip from any to any

Then I tried pinging out from my Win XP box to no
avail. 

I even added:

# ipfw add 100 allow tcp from any to any via any
00100 allow tcp from any to any
# ipfw add 100 allow ip from any to any via any
00100 allow ip from any to any

to get:

00050 286 17938 divert 8668 ip from any to any via
tun0
00100 134 14156 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00100   0 0 allow tcp from any to any
00100   0 0 allow ip from any to any
00200   0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300   0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000   0 0 allow ip from any to any
65535   0 0 deny ip from any to any

but still no dice!

I'm thinking I should probably Delete the following
two lines from above:
00200   0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300   0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any

and see what happends.  I will try this out now, but
if you have any other suggestions, prey tell.

as always ... thankyou.

Your Message::

Jumping in late, 

natd_enable="YES" # forward from inside

I would remove this until you get everything else

Usually this kind of behaviour indicates that something is being 
started and it is trying to do a DNS lookup but can't, and so it waits 
until the DNS lookup request times out. You should be able to find out 
what the culprit is by observing what is the next thing printed 
immediately *after* this long pause. Very often it turns out to be 
Sendmail trying to find a reverse record (match the host's IP to a 
DNS name).

What happens if you start it manually?  Are there any entries in
/var/log/messages to tell you why it didn't start automatically?  Looking
at the output at system startup, there should be some indication of why
natd didn't start.

Are you saying that your internal machines _can_ get to the net when you
delete that rule?  If so, then you don't need nat, and you need to
reconsider your configuration.

Re: more IPFW help please

[Saint Aardvark the Carpeted]

Incoming Mail List disturbed my sleep to write:
> NATD definition
> natd -p 8668 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.254:80 80 -n de3
> 
> IPFW definitions

I *think* the problem with this set of rules is that you're diverting to
natd anything from the private client to the webserver, *but you're not
diverting the replies from the webserver*.  Your request goes to the
webserver with the source address set to 192.168.3.1 (the IP address
on de3).  The webserver sends the reply to 192.168.3.1, but since that
reply never gets to natd, 192.168.3.1 "knows" it didn't send that request
so it gets dropped silently.

One way around this would be to add a second rule:

200 divert 8668 log ip from any to 192.168.3.254

but that may cause problems...natd may drop incoming connections or
replies that it hasn't seen.  Since natd is only seeing requests to
1.2.3.4, access to other machines may end up broken.

A better/more conventional way of doing it would be:

100 divert 8668 all via de3

> This results in lots of packets accepted, but I get no output on the

Logs are good, but tcpdump is better -- you get to see the tcp flags.
This looks good, which is why I'm hedging my bet about the divert rules,
but tcpdump on (say) your client, or the machine running natd, would
show a lot more.

Hugh

I don't see anything in 'man mail' that suggests mail could do this. I don't 
know about sendmail - it has a configuration option for "everything" :) , but 
may be more trouble than it's worth.

You could do as Shantanoo suggested w/ mutt; there are probably similar 
incantations for pine, elm, etc. Doing it from a shell script is probably 
possible if you're willing to do all of the mime stuff. However, I think I'd 
look at Perl... I think if you found the right package this would be fairly 
straightforward.

I tried installing the MINIMAL installation with 4.9 and 4.8. The thing 
dies so quickly- shortly
afterh the boot manager completes -  I don't get a boot option as with 
my other FreeBSD
computers. My only hope in figuring this our via dmesg is through a

NAT trouble

[Björn Lindström]

I'm having some trouble to get NAT working on the Internet gateway of my
home LAN.

Here's my setup:

I have compiled a kernel with the following options added:

options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10
options IPDIVERT

I have these relevant settings in my rc.conf:

gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="tun0"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"

(Where tun0 is the interface of my ADSL connection.)

My natd.conf only contains this line:

redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.2:15000 15000

Now, when I reboot, ipfw show shows this:

00050   0  0 divert 8668 ip from any to any via tun0
00100   182   15680 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200 0   0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300 0   0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000 11015 3073646 allow ip from any to any
65535 4 236 deny ip from any to any


Here are the problems:

* ps ax|grep natd shows that natd is not running.

* While I still cat get to the gateway from the inside, connections to
  the Net doesn't work, until I 'ipfw delete 00050'.


I hope someone here has a clue as to what may be wrong with my setup.

Thanks in advance,

Björn

Assuming that the FreeBSD box is the one that's direcly connected to the
internet: 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html

That part of the handbook (which I encourage you to read if you haven't
already) explains what's NAT and how to set it up using ipfw/natd. You can
also configure a nat box using ipf/ipnat.

http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf can help if you choose to go the ipf
route.

Thanks so much for the reposes, Josh and Paul.

Josh: great article... if nothing else, the errors changed that I was

had found that at the beginning of this whole progress, because it
gave about the most logical "recipie" to follow that I've seen so far.

so, here are the current errors upon SMTP-Auth failure... and to let
know, I have created the sasldb2 file in /usr/local/etc/ with the
utilities that you mentioned in your article.

You've got a tricky choice here.  Do you want an amd64 machine for the
64-bitness? Or just for performance reasons?  If you need 64-bit
support, so you can have multi-terrabyte filesystems, and deal with
enourmous files that's going to be a bit troublesome for you.  If you
want it to be the first person in your town to own an amd64 box or
just for speed, then you'ld probably be better off getting the most
powerful ia32 based system you can afford, and carrying on using much
the same software environment as you have at the moment.

As I see it, if you have to switch to a 64bit OS, you've got basically
3 ways to go:

1) Microsoft: 64bit support not yet fully available, and will cost
   an arm and a leg when it does arrive.

2) Free OSes -- basically Linux or FreeBSD.  Amd64 support is
   there, but you'll almost certainly have to switch to using a
   new software environment to do your video editing.  There's no
   guarrantee that you'll be able to get editing software with any
   sort of commercial support, if that's important to you.  Free
   and Open versions of editing software where available will
   usually work very well, but probably will need a quite
   different mindset for you to use -- for instance, you might end
   up having to write shell scripts to do various routine
   operations.

   Typical of the sort of software available is avidemux -- see

  http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

   Other applications ported to FreeBSD will be listed at:

  http://www.freebsd.org/ports/multimedia.html

   Device support -- firewire, USB, etc. is basically there, but
   you would be well advised to test everything for compatability
   before you buy.  Manufacturers generally only find it economic
   to build devices to a standard that will work on Windows --
   Free OSes usually need to get loans or donations of equipment
   in order to provide support of devices that don't conform
   correctly to the published standards.

   You'ld probably find a FreeBSD or Linux box more appropriate
   for providing network storage and other services, as a back-end
   to your client machines where you do the actual editing.

3) Apple -- has the 64bit platforms now, and video editing etc. is
   their meat and drink, so there shouldn't be any problems with
   finding software or support.  Probably more expensive than
   commodity hardware -- but check carefully.  Apple machines are
   much closer in price to *equivalently* specc'd PCs than you
   might think.  And if you need plenty of storage, the Xserve
   RAID kit is a real bargain[1] for small to mid-sized SANs:

http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/

Cheers,

Matthew
   
[1] Not that you have to use Xserve with MacOS X -- it works very well
with other OSes.

Re: upgrading form 4.2 to 5.x

True.  Upgrading just for the sake of it is not sensible.  However
there are plenty of valid reasons for wanting to upgrade:

   - Security Advisories: often these will be backported to earlier
 versions, but the only versions where patches will definitely be
 provided are the versions listed as 'supported' on

http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html

 Generally any release will be supported for a year from release,
 but there are exceptions.  For instance, 4.8-RELEASE was recently
 announced to have an extended support period which means that it
 will be covered for longer than 4.9-RELEASE and about as long as
 4.10-RELEASE, and the earlier developer preview 5.x-RELEASEs
 weren't supported beyond the next DP release.

   - Ports: These are only really guaranteed to work on the latest 4.x
 or 5.x release, as limited resources mean that those are the only
 OS versions where packages can be built en mass.  While porters
 will not gratuitously break compatability with earlier system
 versions, sometimes this will happen.  New features and bug fixes
 in the compiler tool chain, make(1), the pkg_foo tools and so
 forth can also break compatability with earlier versions.

   - Hardware support: 4.2-RELEASE came out in November 2000.  The
 rate of change in computer hardware since then has been very
 large.  Should one of those servers bite the dust, it's quite
 possible that 4.2-RELEASE wouldn't support the hardware available
 on a replacement system.  Better to do an upgrade calmly and
 carefully and without undue pressure rather than having to rush
 it through to get a replacement system back into production as
 soon as possible.

Now, the question of having to upgrade all the way to 5.x, and
requiring that the upgrade is done "in place" by the usual
{build,install}{world,kernel} mechanism is a different matter.  My
advice would be to avoid that as likely to cause more trouble than it
really warrants.  The best mechanism for doing this sort of thing is
to start with a spare system, do a clean install of whatever OS
version is chosen (sizing all of the partitions etc. according to the
experience gained with the older systems) and build and configure all
of the required software from scratch.  This will allow you to run the
new system in parallel with the old for testing purposes, and gives
you an easy route to back out the upgrade should it cause problems.

The procedure would be to upgrade each system this manner, and use
each old set of hardware as the spare to build the replacement for the
next system in turn.  

Cheers,

Matthew

NetBSD->FreeBSD move: samba problem

[Wojciech Puchar]

i had NetBSD with samba:

Information for samba-2.2.8anb5:

Comment:
SMB/CIFS protocol server suite for UNIX


and now have FreeBSD with samba:

samba-2.2.8aA free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX


same versions of samba.

i moved smb.conf to /usr/local/etc and started samba under FreeBSD.

samba starts

smbclient started from host shows like everything is ok.
but - from windose i see empty "network environment" when clicked on
"Whole network" i see message that network can't be browsed etc. etc.

in log.nmbd i see:

i can log in with smbclient to any exported disk with password and all

any ideas?

more IPFW help please

[Incoming Mail List]

Hello,

I would really appreciate some IPFW2 help with a matter I am unable
to resolve.  I have a system with 5 nics in it that I want to use
as a router, set up as follows (1.2.3.4 is the public address symbol).

WAN1 - ed0 - 1.2.3.4 (public address)
LAN0 - de0 - 192.168.0.1
LAN1 - de1 - 192.168.1.1
LAN2 - de2 - 192.168.2.1
LAN3 - de3 - 192.168.3.1

A web server exists on 1.2.3.4 and another on 192.168.2.254.

I am also using NATD for pub <-> private address translation and to
redirect 1.2.3.4 port 80 to 192.168.2.254 port 80
with the command:
natd -p 8668 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.254:80 80 -n ed0

This all works great from the outside -> in, and the inside -> out using
stateful IPFW2 rules.  However, I also want the private ip machines to point
to 192.168.2.254 if any of them make port 80 requests for 1.2.3.4.  I cannot
get this to work no matter what I try.

To simplify things I've been concentrating on only two networks and even
set up a separate natd process for them.  Even this won't work.  I'm
hoping that someone can give me a head-slap and put me back on the right
track.  Here's the simplest set of rules (static) that I've set up for
testing.  I'd like to know why this doesn't work.

NATD definition
natd -p 8668 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.254:80 80 -n de3

IPFW definitions
100 divert 8668 log ip from 192.168.3.254 to 1.2.3.4
300 allow log ip from any to any
500 deny log ip from any to any


This results in lots of packets accepted, but I get no output on the
192.168.3.254 machine and the browser eventually times out.

100 Divert 8669 TCP 192.168.3.254:4013 24.61.225.235:80 in via de3

That's true, but you only get the overall setup stuff if you log in as

FreeBSD 5.1 <-> WinXP Networking Problem UPDATE #2

[freebsder]

  Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the suggestions.

First off - there was actually a typo in the line:
firewall_script="/etc/rc/firewall
I changed it to:
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"

However, it made no difference to the WinXP box
ability to connect.

Next I tried commenting out that line altogether but
it still did not work(!)  It would not go online.

I then checked out rc.firewall asper you suggestion
and looked under OPEN ... This is what I found:::


# If you just configured ipfw in the kernel as a tool
to solve network
# problems or you just want to disallow some
particular kinds of traffic
# then you will want to change the default policy to
open.  You can also
# do this as your only action by setting the
firewall_type to ``open''.
#
#${fwcmd} add 65000 pass all from any to any


# Prototype setups.
#
case ${firewall_type} in
[Oo][Pp][Ee][Nn])
setup_loopback
${fwcmd} add 65000 pass all from any to any
;;

[...]

Do you see a problem in this set-up?

I am considering setting it up in SIMPLE mode but I
want to be able to run the machine in OPEN mode before
I get too fancy with security and firewalls ... you
know?

Thanks again for you help ... please advise.

The line here:

 >>  firewall_script="/etc/rc/firewall"

...tells IPFW to use a config file that doesn't
contain enough useful 
rules.

Comment out that line, and examine /etc/rc.firewall
instead, and 
reboot.  Then 
take a look at the rules being loaded by the OPEN
firewall type, which 
should 
include a divert rule...
