RE: Dual Homing Networks with DSL and Cable

Most large providers require that you register your multihomed capacity on a list. Otherwise traffic won't know to come in on a particular interface or that it can go either way. I must admit I'm going from memory here. I used to work at an ISP about 5 years ago. At that time we went from a T3 with UUNET to a multihomed setup with verio and uunet. It was rather odd actually.. 3 t1s connected us to our modem banks at the telco and then we had an ethernet connection to verio's pipe, plus the T3 in our main office. Anyway, verio required us to get on this list. They told us that most large ISPs use it for routing. I suspect you will need static ips with the cable provider to pull it off as well. Actually, I was under the assumption that the multi-homed system would process outgoing traffic, and the incoming would just return on the appropriate IP. In this scenario, there's no need to register hosts.

dealing with deffective RAM
Hello! Both Memtest86 and Memtest86+ find some failures in RAM (one finds 11 faults, the other 14 - most 32-bit, but some are only 8-bit wide). How can I deal with this in FreeBSD? Buying new RAM modules is probably the best choice, but I have no guarantee that the new modules will be perfectly ok, so it might be wasted money. Under Linux, I used the badram patch (http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/). Is there similar functionality in the FreeBSD kernel, or is there such a patch? I failed to find anything on Google, and boot(8) didn't help much, either. In case such a patch doesn't exist, do you have any ideas about how such a thing might be implemented? Eventually, could you point me to the right place in the kernel source? I use Linux since 1997, but I'm pretty much a FreeBSD newbie, so please be merciful... :) Best regards, Laurentiu P.S. I assume the physical pages (4k/4M) where the faults reside could just be not mapped at all in the virtual memory manager, so it should be doable, right? ___ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Jay O'Brien Rio Linda, CA USA The disklabel doesnt' specify the mount point for partitions, it simply describes the size and number of partitions. Edit the file /etc/fstab to direct init how/where to mount your various partitions that the disklabel describes. The disklabel editor that is part of sysinstall asks about a mount point because it will usually need to automatically mount your partitions during a new install. Nathan Thank you. I hadn't grasped the concept that disklabel's purpose is on initial boot of a new system. I edited /etc/fstab as you suggested and that fixed my problem. There's lots more to learn! This one can be a little confusing because in /stand/sysinstall, when it collects information to build a disk, it asks for the mount point and it sort of looks like disklabel did it. But, really, sysinstall collects that information and then runs fstab, runs disklabel, runs newfs and edits /etc/fstab all under the covers. So, when you do it yourself, then you notice the several steps that look like just one in the installer. Sort of like making it too easy for the user shorts out some learning. But, it is nice to have it on initial installs. jerry Jay ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Can't detect COM ports...
it was said: I have got a problem with my HS56 PCTel modem because I can not enable my serial ports. The first two ports are automatically enabled, but the third and the fourth does not get enabled. I read the handbook and tried to do it myself, but without success. I have connected the modem to the COM3 port(sio2). When I take the output of dmesg command I get the following output Hello, Do you actually have four serial ports? Most computers come with two or less. Is the modem internal or external? If it is internal, it is almost certainly a winmodem, meaning it needs to do signal processing through calls to the Windows OS, and most probably won't work under FBSD.

Thank you *so much* for your time! Hi Aaron, 1) Promiscuous mode means that your network is dumping it packets somewhere, normally they get transported. Now the added feature is that a application like tcpdump can display the packets and with the correct options (tcpdump -X for example) you can even see what's inside the packets. If you do plain auth authorization it is possible with a 'sniffer' (which puts your network into promisc. mode) to see what the username and password of the user is, so using those credentials to do something evil. 2) see above 3) ifconfig -a (check which has PROMISC in it) ifconfig interfacename -promisc turns the promisc mode off 4) the application that enabled promisc probably not functioning correctly anymore, which is perhaps good thing. Are you running any IDS'es or something that you know? since they also put the network into promisc mode.

If you enable the module in the config, it is built into the kernel, otherwise a kld is generated. Can I have 'ohci' as a kernel module? Whether or not a specific feature is capable of operating as a kernel module or built in is specific to that feature.

You'll need to set up port forwarding. See the man page for natd and pay close attention to the redirect_port diretive. If you're going to have many set up (as it seems you will) it's usually easier to put them in a config file and tell natd to read it's config from that file. The freebsd box is setup to be headless once I get this configured properly. In addition I would like SSH2 to be able to tunnel from box to box as well as SSH2 outside my network with my Linux box.

Something like redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.3:22 Then if you ssh with defaults to the gateway, you'll log in to the gateway, and if you ssh to port , you'll ssh to the Linux box.

bsdlabel errors and weirdity
Greetings, On a whim, I decided to try out vinum this afternoon, but found myself stuck early on. One of the first steps is to locate the partition you want to use vinum and change it's type from 4.2BSD to vinum. This is where I get stuck, because when I run bsdlabel on the 10GB disk, I get: [apex:~]# bsdlabel ad0s1 # /dev/ad0s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 524288 634.2BSD0 0 0 b: 1536000 524351 swap c: 20044017 63unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit e: 524288 20603514.2BSD0 0 0 f: 524288 25846394.2BSD0 0 0 g: 16935153 31089274.2BSD0 0 0 partition c: partition extends past end of unit bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition g: partition extends past end of unit These errors prevent me changing the fstype to vinum because bsdlabel apparently takes exception to the sizes and offsets of the partitions and refuses to apply them. This system has been running various releases in the 5.x branch for the last 2 years with no problems whatsoever and is currently on 5.2.1-p3. What looks the funniest is that the 'a' and 'c' partitions don't start at 0. Every other example of bsdlabel output that I've seen today had those two starting at 0, and the error message specifically confirms that this isn't correct. I've tried relabeling the disk with the sysinstall utility on both 4.10 and 5.1 CDs, and on both IDE and SCSI drives to no avail. They all want to start the partitions at offset 63. I'm quite at a loss here, and I'm not sure exactly how to proceed. Any help at all would be appreciated. -- Charles Ulrich System Administrator Ideal Solution - http://www.idealso.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think, in general, it's the notion that if the NIC is listening to things it shouldn't, it may hear something it doesn't want to. ;) In other words, there would be concern over exploits targeted at services or daemons that don't screen inbound traffic for the destination address being that of the local host, because they assume that such traffic could never be delivered to them. That type of thing. A lot of network scanners also trigger on NICS in promiscuous mode (there's a way to detect them, I forget the details at the moment) because admins want to know if any hosts are out there sniffing.

Yep! Apparently when I first brought up the system I learned about the /etc/ftpusers file, and to get it to work I commented out the line with root on it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. FTP now is working the same as in the old build. Your comment caused me to look at the filenames in /etc, and that one jumped out at me. I do understand about security, it won't be accessible to the world in that confiuguration. Thanks again!

Run 'camcontrol devlist' to identify those devices (seek string 'passX' at the end of each line and modify the rights of /dev/passX).

ypserv, svctcp_create, and spamd
I have been having some problems with ypserv occasionally deciding to listen on tcp port 783, which breaks spamd. As far as I can tell from the source files of ypserv and svc_tcp.c, the subr svctcp_create simply returns an arbitrary unused port. Since services started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d, such as spamd, start after ypserv, it may take a port needed by one of these services. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to fix or work around this problem? Some solutions that do come to mind are: 1. Sticking some code in spamd.sh to run `rpcinfo -p' and if any rpc services are using 783/tcp, kill them off before starting spamd and then restart them. 2. By pass the usual startup of ypservices in the FreeBSD boot sequence and stick my own scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, thus ensuring that they start after any local services. However, both of these strike me as an awful kludge. By the way, unlike some implementations of ypserv, I don't think that FreeBSD's consults /etc/services to either determine which port it should use or which ports it should avoid.
