ntpd as broadcastclient - not working?
Hi folks, I have Tardis (Windows) running on my network broadcasting NTP time signals (right now every 4 seconds), but the FreeBSD machine is running 5 seconds faster than all the other computers. Here are the lines that I added to /etc/rc.conf: xntpd_enable=YES xntpd_flags=-A -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -l /var/log/ntpd.log (Both 'top' and 'ps -aux' show ntpd running after I rebooted. Here are the lines that I added to /etc/ntp.conf: driftfile /etc/ntp.drift broadcastclient Does anyone have some ideas why it isn't synching up? Thanks for your help if you can!

The boot process is erroring out on this, hence why you're getting the ifconfig error listed above. One way to get around this is set those interfaces with a netmask of all ones, or 255.255.255.255, or simply do have these entries in you're rc.conf file: ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.102.14/32 ifconfig_fxp1=inet 192.168.102.15/32 defaultrouter=192.168.102.1 Again, this is if I got everything correctly.

Re: Portupgrade killed everytime
Try running it using strace, such as strace portupgrade vim and see what it's doing. I checked my kernel and found the PROCFS and PSUEDOFS options were in there. I have added this line to my fstab: proc/procprocfs rw00 I no longer see this message: # strace portupgrade vim strace: open(/proc/..., ...): No such file or directory trouble opening proc file (Google was my friend here!) However, my problems seem far from over. When I run strace now (e.g. strace -o /root/strace.out portupgrade vim), nothing happens. Typing 'top' shows this line: PID USER PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 829 root 96 01352K 696K STOP0:00 0.00% 0.00% strace or sometimes it looks like this: 838 root 8 01356K 704K pioctl 0:00 0.00% 0.00% strace but the strace tool just doesn't want to generate any output. Strangely, I don't even see ruby appear in the top output when I use strace. Please guys, I would be so grateful if someone could offer me any advice or suggestions on this.

Re: vinum rebuildparity, when?
Hi, thanks for your response, I didn't notice it at first because it only went to the mailing list :) On Wed, Aug 25, 2004 at 12:08:53PM +0200, Christian Laursen wrote: Stijn Hoop [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I was wondering about the vinum 'rebuildparity' command, especially the times when one needs to use this. I run rebuildparity if checkparity finds any errors after unclean shutdowns. OK, that's what was adviced. The problem is that I can't find anything in the vinum docs about this command other than it's purpose. What I don't understand is the difference between reviving a disk in a RAID-5 plex, and rebuilding the parity. When reviving a disk the data on that disk is calculated from the data and the parity on the other disks. Yes, but the parity should be recalculated at the same time, right? I think rebuildparity only reads data and writes the parity calculated from that but for all disks. OK, that would seem logical. When I start a degraded disk it starts to revive -- which led me to believe that vinum was also recalculating the parity. Evidently it wasn't. I'm therefore now updating my procedures to always run 'checkparity -v plex' after a disk crash. That shouldn't be neccesary. Well, it appears to be. checkparity found some errors in the parity after a single disk crash rebuild (ie degraded mode - start subdisk - revive process complete). If this is not the expected behaviour it means something about the controller has blown; we do get lots of unexpected read/write errors which always turn out to be false alarms upon further inspection. Maybe a controller has turned bad :( FWIW, the rebuildparity helped, the parity is now again correct. --Stijn -- Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret.

burncd problems

Memorex 700MB disks seem to be particularly problematic for older/cheap drives. if you got an older/cheap CDRW drive, stick to 650MB, or at least avoid Memorex 700MB disks. i had trouble with Memorex 700MB disks on a Creative 8x4x32 speed drive. when i upgraded to a 48x24x48, all my problems with Memorex 700MB disks went away. acd0: CD-RW CREATIVE CD-RW RW8435E at ata1-master PIO4 acd0: CD-RW CD-RW 48X24at ata1-master PIO4 it is difficult for the average user to figure out, because all you ever see is drive busy errors - and that doesn't tell you much. but from my reading, CD drives don't tell a driver too much, so that's all that can be said. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Rack-Mount Server cases
On Friday 09 July 2004 07:19 am, Eric Crist wrote: I'm just asking opinions here, but: What do you prefer for a 2U rack mount server case? I want to keep the cost down, but I want something that looks nice and is functional. I've got 5 servers I'm looking at replacing existing cases on to make them match, as well as to free up some rack space, as some cases I currently own are 4U, and some are 2U. I would recommend you avoid the Antec 2U unit ( probably all Antec rack-mounts if the 2U is any indication). Jay Antec appeared to have no practical experience with mid-density servers when they made their 2U abomination. I had the product which appears to have morphed slightly into the 2U26ATX300XPR. Power supplies for a chassis should be mounted in the back. Antec apparently decided that there was a benefit to using a traditional ATX style PS, but then *still* modified it to have a cord extension to the power socket on the back. The power supply cable won't reach to certain motherboards - in my case, the ASUS P2B-DS. I despise having to use extenders in a 2U case. The brilliant internal drive arrays are enough to make me scream. They no longer make the nice case that they once made, the 3480B, which was a 4U short case with three front accessible bays. We still use the ones we have, generally retrofitting them with a 5-drive-to-3-bay SCA converter. They take a normal ATX MB and PS with no fuss, and the only major complaint I ever had was that I couldn't stick a large ATX MB like the P2B-DS in and also a hardware RAID controller in the bottom two bays, because they'd overlap by about a quarter of an inch. This is a function of the RAID controller being too long, not really an Antec issue. :-) We no longer buy Antec products because they have made themselves irrelevant. If you are looking for *cheap*, I doubt you can beat the price on a Skyhawk 2U like the IPC-2025L - usually around $100. They are not great units. They are made of cheaper, thinner steel, and the screws thread out if you're not careful (we're a power screwdriver shop). They do use a regular ATX power supply, but front-mounted (ecch). Once you discard the riser card that comes with them, make sure the speaker isn't shorted out against the case, and commit to buying a real riser, however, there are not too many other issues. They're basically usable after several lessons in frustration. If you are looking for *nice*, AIC/T-Win has some nice stuff in a multitude of configurations, some I like, some I don't, but all of which seem to have been targetted at various specific applications, so I can at least appreciate their thoroughness. http://www.aicipc.com (mfr website) We currently use a number of their RMC2Q-XP cases out at Equinix Ashburn. Very nice, 6 drives on trays, good airflow, keeps reasonably cool even though there is a pair of AMD MP 2400's on a S2469 and 6 x 15K RPM Fujitsu drives. We've had one major incident in the last year which *might* have been related to the chassis; we swapped a SCSI backplane. I am reasonably certain it was the drive though (but when you're flying, you're replacing all the possible bad components). The 2Q-XP comes with 300W, 460W, or various redundant supplies, can be configured for normal riser card/PCI or low profile PCI, etc., etc. Very thoughtful. That is, of course, more pricey than you'll want for most applications, but the design appears representative of the rest of their products (of which we have a number). If you're looking to buy any of these, drop me a line and I can point you right. You can get truly screwed buying them from some vendors. ...

Re: 5.2.1 custom kernel build fails with floating point exception error#1 during make on Cyrix 333 cpu
You need to install the cvsup package before you can go through it. First pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (if you are just on a dumb terminal as I am on) or pkg_add cvsup After it completes, then copy the supfiles from /usr/share/example/supfile to you home (I mean the root's home) or anywhere you feel convinient to access. Open the stable supfile ( if you want to track stable) in your favourite text editor ( mine is vi, so I do vi stable-supfile). Read through the file, its well documented. Change the hostname for the cvsup server (refer to the handbook for cvsup locations, I generally use cvsup2.freebsd.org or cvsup6.freebsd.org). Save the file and exit (in my case its :wq). Then run the cvsup with the stable-supfile as argument. I do is: cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile If you want to schedule it as a cron job as I do then cvsup -g -L 1 stable-supfile Let it complete. Now you have an updated source tree. Refer to the make world section of the handbook and remake the whole tree (as I always do on a freshly installed system) or just the kernel (your choice). You should be on track. Refer to the handbook and man cvsup for further details. And btw its not cvup its cvsup :-). Ket us know if you again got stuck up. Regards S.

Then pour yourself a strong cup of coffee (or whatever helps you stay lucid) and head over to http://www.sendmail.org and do some serious reading. Start with the FAQ and the Email Explained document so you understand the fundamentals and how the different parts are supposed to work. Do the same for Qpopper. Expect to invest considerable effort (read: time) into learning this. Start by articulating precisely what you expect from your mail server then come back here and ask a *specific* question that those with more experience might be motivated to answer. Be prepared to provide details on steps you've taken to install and configure the appropriate components as well as specific error messages, contents of log files, etc. that seem pertinent to troubleshooting your problem (as *you* perceive it; hence the suggestion on articulating expectations above).

Re: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and Windows XP on one system
Go back to your old familiar drive configuration and do one of the following: 1 - Install the FreeBSD boot loader on *both* hard drives. Also be sure to set the FreeBSD slice (a/k/a partition in Windows-speak) bootable during sysinstall. During installation I did set the FreeBSD slice with the / system bootable, I also set the Windows partition bootable. I believe, I choose install the boot manager on both disks. In other words I hoped I did exact that way. But it won't work. FYI: The '???' label will be for your Windows partition, and it should work. I hoped so. And old Windows versions (on a different box) booted. That is why I start to wonder if XP is different. 2 - Use the GAG boot loader. It's simple as can be. URL: http://gag.sourceforge.net/.

Re: editing the rc.conf
Ifconfig was mentioned. You can also reinitialize your system with shutdown(8). Shutdown will bring the system in single-user state (will kill all processes) and when you exit that, you'll have all changes made to rc.conf, active. Use shutdown now and then just exit the single-user shell.

Re: editing the rc.conf
A couple of people suggested to read the ifconfig man page. I do understand the ifconfig, and I can change the IP settings using ifconfig without re-booting the system. What I wondered was a way of editing rc.conf directly and how I can it be working without re-boot the system. As Nikos suggested, it would not be a good way if there is only one way to go for it by using 'shutdown now' command; as it kills all the running processes.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

Re: cannot get rc.conf to configure an second interface
On Aug 27, 2004, at 9:30 AM, Bob Ababurko wrote: I am curious as to how these netmask settings will effect the way my routes will be handled. If I use a /32, what does that meanor more specifically, what is going on here? FreeBSD does not let you configure two network interfaces on the same network, because routing table entries need to be unique. Giving the second NIC a different subnet (the /32) associates it with a different entry in the routing table. Also.what I want to do here, or at least, think that I want to do, is have traffic come and go out of each NIC, respectively. I don't want traffic to come in fxp1 and go out of fxp0. I want this to occur because I am going to use dummynet to handle some bandwidth issues. A single NIC runs as fast as the network connection will go. Having two NICs on the same network doesn't usually make things go faster [1], although it might be useful for redundancy in case one NIC fails (see netgraph). What is the default behavior in this respect in FreeBSD when just adding another NIC to a system and not making any other changes? If the kernel or a module contains a driver for the NIC, the system will bind to the device but leave the interface down. The interface will be a candidate for things like dhclient, or if can be configured by ifconfig as normal. -- -Chuck [1]: For normal network topologies involving hubs, anyway. If you've got a switch, the question becomes more complex, but you would be better off configuring a seperate VLAN and using different subnets if you've got redundant NICs. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

m4 Problems
I want to do something that I _think_ should be rather simple within m4(1). I want to test if a macro value has been set. If it is set, I want to modify it and continue. If it is not set, I want to produce an error message and bail out. However, it is not working. Here is an example of a test script, $ cat testerr.mc ifdef(`TEST', ``TEST' defined.', `TEST not defined.') ifdef(`TEST', define(`TEST', `NEW'TEST), errprint(`TEST not specified, exiting.') m4exit(1)) The value of `TEST' is TEST. Now I run it without TEST set, $ m4 testerr.mc TEST not defined. TEST not specified, exiting. $ echo $? 1 And it looks good. But now I try with TEST set, $ m4 -D TEST=test testerr.mc TEST defined. TEST not specified, exiting. $ echo $? 1 And it acts as if it is NOT set. It looks like the third argument of the second ifdef macro is getting evaluated even though the first argument is not set. So, I'll try this test script instead, ifdef(`TEST', ``TEST' defined.', `TEST not defined.') ifdef(`TEST', define(`TEST', `NEW'TEST), `errprint(`TEST not specified, exiting.') m4exit(1)') The value of `TEST' is TEST. And try the set case, $ m4 -D TEST=test testerr.mc TEST defined. The value of TEST is NEWtest. $ echo $? 0 And it works! OK, now check the case where it is not set, $ m4 testerr.mc TEST not defined. The value of TEST is NEWTEST. $ echo $? 0 So now this case doesn't work. What quoting scheme do I need to use here to get this to work correctly? Or is there some other trick to it?

fstab - why different file systems nummers?
hi folks, well, i new to freebsd but i didn't find help in the newbelist. and since i got this daily message from the list i think this is the right place to go. i am at the point to change my /etc/fstab file. well, there i can set two numbers 1 for root file system; 2 for another ufs file system and 0 for everythin else. so, in my example here: why ist a ms-dos file system set to 2 and not to 0? it isn't a ufs file system...*wondering* also, why to distinguish between 1,2 and 0. there is a file system declaration in the third column. so, i don't get it with the differences and reasons for these three numbers. but i would like to understand :-) so, can someone help? and, what does the term userland mean for freebsd? o.k., i am kind of dump but i hope you can clear the fog in my brain :-) thanky -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: editing the rc.conf
Except that the man page for ifconfig will tell you nothing about the correctness of your entries in rc.conf. For that you have to reboot.

It is entirely possible that a script expecting to start networking makes assumptions about the status quo that will prove very damaging to restarting network services. (And vice-versa.)

Re: Startup with no-ip
Good suggestion. I have created the file /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks but
do I need to do something else to get the noip to run when the
ip-address changes? I'm a beginner so i could really need some help
with the details.
Thanks in advance
/Olof Andersson
but I suggest not running the updater as a daemon at all.
I have the dhcp client run it automatically when the address changes,
by creating /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks as follows:
#!/bin/sh
updater_prog = /usr/local/bin/noip2
if [ x$reason = xREBOOT ] || \
[ x$old_ip_address = x ] || \
[ x$old_ip_address != x$new_ip_address ]; then
if [ -x $updater_prog ]; then
${updater_prog} -i $new_ip_address
else
logger dhclient-exit-hooks cannot find updater

Re: m4 Problems
On 2004-08-27 12:13, Crist J. Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to do something that I _think_ should be rather simple within m4(1). I want to test if a macro value has been set. If it is set, I want to modify it and continue. If it is not set, I want to produce an error message and bail out. However, it is not working. Here is an example of a test script, $ cat testerr.mc ifdef(`TEST', ``TEST' defined.', `TEST not defined.') ifdef(`TEST', define(`TEST', `NEW'TEST), errprint(`TEST not specified, exiting.') m4exit(1)) The value of `TEST' is TEST. The trick is to avoid evaluation of the two conditional parts by quoting them at least ONE level more than the enclosing ifdef(). This: ifdef(`a', foo, bar) will evaluate both foo anr bar at the same time that ifdef() is evaluated and checked. This second form though: ifdef(`a', `foo', `bar') will still evaluate `foo' and `bar' at the outter level, yielding foo and bar, but only one of foo or bar will eventually be evaluated depending on the value of `a'. I don't know if this sounds confusing or it helps at all, but here's a modified version of testerr.mc that works as (I think) you expect: # cat /tmp/testerr.mc ifdef(`TEST', ``TEST' defined.', `TEST not defined.') ifdef(`TEST', `define(`TEST', `NEW'TEST)', `errprint(`TEST not specified, exiting.') m4exit(1)') The value of `TEST' is TEST. If you don't define TEST, m4exit(1) is evaluated: # m4 /tmp/testerr.mc TEST not defined. TEST not specified, exiting. # Note the SPACE character right before my shell prompt, which is the space character immediatelly before `m4exit(1)'. Now, if you *do* define TEST: # m4 -DTEST=foo /tmp/testerr.mc TEST defined. The value of TEST is NEWfoo. # The NEW definition is printed ;-) What quoting scheme do I need to use here to get this to work correctly? Or is there some other trick to it? Can someone explain m4(1)'s order of evaluation and what actually gets evaluated in each case? If you don't quote the arguments to ifdef() they are ALL evaluated and the result of their evaluation is substituted before the choise of ifdef() takes place. This is why regardless of TEST being defined or not the second part of your ifdef() was evaluated and caused m4exit() to abort the entire process *before* ifdef() made its choise of what to evaluate next. To see this in action check the output of the following script: # cat /tmp/foo.mc ifdef(`foo', define(`foo', `more'foo), errprint(`foo is 'foo) m4exit(1)) # echo ? 1 # m4 /tmp/foo.mc foo is morefoo # m4 -Dfoo=bar /tmp/foo.mc foo is morebar # echo $? 1 In both cases keep in mind that the arguments of ifdef() are evaluated once before ifdef() makes a choise. a) When foo is undefined, this is evaluated: define(`foo', `more'foo) and `foo' is defined to be `morefoo' (because `foo' is undefined and is interpreted literally in the second part of the define(). Then the second part of ifdef() is evaluated and m4exit() terminates all evaluation with an error of 1 after having printed errprint's message. b) When foo is defined to `bar', exactly the same happens only this time at the second argument of define() foo has a different value. ... An entirely different thing happens when you quote the arguments of ifdef(): # cat /tmp/foo2.mc ifdef(`foo', `define(`foo', `more'foo)', `errprint(`foo is 'foo) m4exit(1)') foo # m4 /tmp/foo2.mc foo is foo # echo $? 1 $ m4 -Dfoo=bar /tmp/foo2.mc morebar # echo $? 0 I hope all this random m4-rambling helps a bit, Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you, Jason Keeney Hello, You don't need to have any discs shipped to you. FreeBSD is available for free from a number of sites around the world. You can find a list of servers at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html (URL may have wrapped) You don't say where in Africa you are, but one of the sites on the above list is in South Africa. You really need to d/l just the iso of disc 1 if you want the base system and ports skeleton. Of course, you could d/l just the floppy images and do an ftp install to minimize your online time even more. What exactly is the project you're working on and in which country? Perhaps we can be of service we if had more information. Regards, Stheg ___ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!

IPSEC Problems
Hello I am stumped I am try to get a very simple IPSEC tunnel between my laptops and gateway. I can not seem to get the IKE to authenticate. I have had this working in with my other server which has been moved to a new location. I have a FreeBSD 4.10 Stable server and an 5.2.1 Release. I am aware of the problems with 5.2.1. I am not sure what I am missing. Is there a problem with 4.10 Stable? Both, my Window XP machine and FreeBSD 5.2.1 are able to create a link with my new server, both of these computers were working with my old server. I have been able to setup a link between this computer and with my other server.

Development project in Africa -- More Information
I am an international volunteer at the Institute for International Cooperation and Development (IICD - www.iicd-volunteer.org ). I am interested in starting a project in sub-Saharan Africa teaching people about Free and Open Source Software. I would also like to teach people how to use a linux or BSD system. I am testing several distributions for ease of use in a learning environment and would like to test your distribution. I would like to know how I might be able to have a free copy of the latest stable version of your distribution shipped to me or how I could get a desktop or laptop computer preinstalled with your distribution donated to me. First of all, IICD, where I'm currently training to be a Development Instructor, is located in Williamstown, MA, USA. We are trained to work on projects in Sub-Saharan Africa for Humana People to People (www.humana.org). I just started my training period at the beginning of August and will be going to Angola. I'm leaving in February and will be there for 6 months. There are several projects that are currently running in Angola, but I haven't been given my specific assignment yet. All I know is that I'll be working at one of their DNS schools. (I'm not sure what DNS stands forit's a Danish acronym--Humana is a Danish NGO) The DNS schools are teacher training colleges. There are already programs at the DNS schools to educate students on the basics of computer use. Most of them will never have used a computer before. I'm going to try to focus on teaching how to use office applications, web browsers, and email clients. Therefor, any machine that I might get donated would be used as a home desktop computer. We have some training software that runs on all of the boxes here at IICD that can only be used on windows. So I hope to acquire a total of 4-5 desktops or laptops to use as testbeds to run various distributions of linux or BSD. I can then decide which will be the best to use for teaching others. If I can get more than 4-5 machines, I would like to have them shipped to where I'll be in Angola. I am also going to be on the road fundraising for the months of October and November (or however long it takes me to raise $6,000 by canvasing) so it would be nice to have at least one laptop. I hope to be done with the testing stage by then, but I would still need time to come up with a 6 month curriculum. I've used several distirbutions of linux in the last 2 years (Mandrake, Red Hat, Gentoo, Slackware, and Arch) and already have begun making an outline of what I hope to acheive, but I want to know what system I'll be able to work on with my students before I make a detailed curriculum. Any donations could be shipped to me at: Jason Keeney 1117 Hancock Rd Williamstown, MA 01267 USA If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Thank you, Jason Keeney - Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Development project in Africa
please keep the list in the loop it was said: Because my download speeds are slow and I am trying to obtain several distributions of linux or BSD, downloading ISO images isn't a feasible option. I will be doing development work in Angola. I haven't been assigned a position within the country yet, but I'll probably be working at a teacher training college. The projects that IICD trains Development Instructors for are listed on the Humana People to People website (www.humana.org). There are several DNS schools within Angola, and I'll probably be in Huambo, Cabinda, or Luanda. They already have some courses at these schools to teach the students about computers, but I'm trying to extend the scope to cover open source alternatives. Hello, I admire your efforts to help educate future teachers, especially in Africa. I was there (Tanzania) for awhile myself some years ago. The last thing anyone on that continent needs to do is help finance Gates's next manuscript purchase. If sending you a copy of my favorite OS will assist you, count me in. Please send me your postal address (off list), and I will send you all the CDs for 5.2.1-Release including the ports collection. By the time you get to Angola, 5.3-Stable will be out, so I don't see the point in sending you 4.10 (current production release). Realize that bug fixes, updates, etc. happen almost daily to both the OS and the ports, so when you do your install, you will need to update everything via cvsup. Because cvsup downloads what are essentially diff files and does its updates with those, the bandwidth consumed is significantly reduced from downloading the iso files.

Re: IPSEC Problems
I figured my problem. I kept receiving error HASH mismatched. I reduced my
racoon.conf down to the basics and it worked.
racoon.conf

remote anonymous
{
exchange_mode aggressive ;
lifetime time 24 hour ;
proposal {
encryption_algorithm 3des ;

}
}
sainfo anonymous
{
pfs_group 2;
lifetime time 12 hour ;
encryption_algorithm 3des, blowfish, des, rijndael ;
authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1, hmac_md5 ;

}

Sorry for the premature post.

Hello
I am stumped I am try to get a very simple IPSEC tunnel between my laptops
and gateway. I can not seem to get the IKE to authenticate. I have had
this working in with my other server which has been moved to a new
location. I have a FreeBSD 4.10 Stable server and an 5.2.1 Release. I am
aware of the problems with 5.2.1. I am not sure what I am missing. Is there
a problem with 4.10 Stable? Both, my Window XP machine and FreeBSD 5.2.1
are able to create a link with my new server, both of these computers were
working with my old server.
I have been able to setup a link between this computer and with my other
server. I have listed my configuration bellow
Thank you,
