 I want traffic from one machine on the LAN with ip address

Is there a way to control how often it broadcasts?

Also, the '*' and '+' tend to disappear and reappear.  Is this
possibly due to network congestion?

passing origin through nat?

2004-10-04 Thread Anthony Philipp

Hello,
When I log in to my computer from a remote location, it still says that I am coming 
from my nat box. Is it possible to have my nat box forward where I am logging in from? 
I would also like to be able to forward where apache connections are coming from. 
Right now all the logs say is that their coming from my nat box. So if anyone knows 
how to solve this that would be great. Thanks

softphone impl. with ability to 'play-in mp3 files'

2004-10-04 Thread Richard P. Williamson

Hi,

I'm trying to find a specific software package for a trade-show
demo.

We need to be able to play an MP3 file (actually, a 'book on tape')
across a SIP VoIP link as part of the demo (so we don't have to
embarrass ourselves by holding a one-sided conversation), but I
can't figure out which terms to google to find what I'm looking
for.  

Anyone out there know of a product/pd/sourceforge/package that
will do that (command line, access an mp3 file and play it across
a SIP initiated VoIP link)?

Thanks ia,

Help wanted with NAT/IPFW settings (4.10 stable)

2004-10-04 Thread Mike Doyle

Hi
I am using FreeBSD 4.10 stable (cvsupped about a month ago), and I have hit 
a problem
with the firewall configuration and allowing a specific application to 
work. At the moment
all sorts of things work correctly:
	The FreeBSD machine acts as a test-server and firewall when I'm working 
from home
	My WinXP and Apple OSX 10.3.5 desktops can see web pages, send/rcv email
	I use vtun to enable all 3 machines to access my corporate VPN,
	

What is NOT working is iChatAV on the Mac.
The remote person always seems to get a connection timed out error
stating that they are unable to connect to 10.0.1.1 (the ip address of the 
mac on the
INTERNAL network, rather than the fixed IP address of my DSL modem)

The DSL modem thingy contains a primitive firewall, and applies NAT to the 
packets
addressed to the external ethernet address of my FreeBSD computer.
This computer then uses firewall/NAT rules to allow packets in to/out from 
the other
two computers. I can even successfully play Quake III on-line from the 
Windows box,
so the NAT redirection of UDP packets is working there...

If anyone on the list has successfully configured this to work, I will be 
prepared
to send you my rc.firewall and natd.conf files to see if you can help me.

Mike

Re: Starting apache at boot with SSL.

2004-10-04 Thread Remko Lodder


 I chose to protect my SSL cert with a passphrase. This makes automatic
 startup at boot impossible. I use FBSD 4.10, and apache would normally
 start via a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.conf. I just made sure there
 was

ehm this is not totally true, you can startup automatically by
havnig a little script that does the following

#!/bin/sh

echo 'passphrase'

Then there is thingy with the phrase 'builtin' into it. You can change
that so that the previous bin sh script gets invoked and the server
will startup at that point.

For the correct syntax i would need to look into my own configuration
which i cannot access at this moment.

 no .sh script for apache, and start it myself using apachectl startssl.
 The problem with this setup is that if the server reboots in the middle
 of the night the web server does not come on, but this almost never
 happens anyway. You have to balance security with convenience to fit
 your situation, and I chose security.




Cheers!

For a same question here was my response from  Josh Hansen
[EMAIL PROTECTED] :

Hello Cristi,

This is from the apache site:

How can I get rid of the pass-phrase dialog at Apache startup time?

The reason why this dialog pops up at startup and every re-start is that
the RSA private key inside your server.key file is stored in encrypted
format for security reasons. The pass-phrase is needed to be able to
read and parse this file. When you can be sure that your server is
secure enough you perform two steps:

   1. Remove the encryption from the RSA private key (while preserving
the original file):

  $ cp server.key server.key.org
  $ openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

   2. Make sure the server.key file is now only readable by root:

  $ chmod 400 server.key

Now server.key will contain an unencrypted copy of the key. If you point
your server at this file it will not prompt you for a pass-phrase.
HOWEVER, if anyone gets this key they will be able to impersonate you on
the net. PLEASE make sure that the permissions on that file are really
such that only root or the web server user can read it (preferably get
your web server to start as root but run as another server, and have the
key readable only by root).

As an alternative approach you can use the ``SSLPassPhraseDialog
exec:/path/to/program'' facility. But keep in mind that this is neither
more nor less secure, of course.

You are correct about it not being secure, although you can restrict
permissions to the file. But it _is_ possible to automate the task.
I think you are quite right when you choose for your method :-)

Release question

2004-10-04 Thread Wen-jui Cheng Adrian

Hello~

I got a question about FreeBSD release.

Why 5.2-Release is not exist on ftp site (ftp.freebsd.org
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ )?

Because I used to use 5.2-release, I want to install another pc from FTP
site.

On other hand I found 5.2.1-release is not stable, because I try to install
Gnome or KDE or GCC34.etc

They are all fail when I want to do port installation.

I just installed 5.2.1-release version from ftp, then port install
application, then it's fail

 Hello~
 
 I got a question about FreeBSD release.
 
 Why 5.2-Release is not exist on ftp site (ftp.freebsd.org
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ )?

5.2 was replaced with 5.2.1, because 5.2 had too many show stopping
problems.

 Because I used to use 5.2-release, I want to install another pc from FTP
 site.
 
 On other hand I found 5.2.1-release is not stable, because I try to install
 Gnome or KDE or GCC34.etc
 
 They are all fail when I want to do port installation.

I can't answer this without detailed specifics on how they fail (error
messages, etc)

 I just installed 5.2.1-release version from ftp, then port install
 application, then it's fail

I would recommend grabbing one of the 5.3BETAs, or waiting for 5.3-RELEASE.
The BETAs are much more stable and production-ready than 5.2.1 was, and
5.3-RELEASE is intended to be officially announced as production ready.

I believe 5.3-RELEASE is scheduled within the next few weeks.

tracking per process IO usage / stats ... help needed..

2004-10-04 Thread Joe Schmoe


I have a FreeBSD system (4.9) running a fair number of
processes in a multi-user / shell hosting environment.

One problem that routinely comes up is that the system
will seem to be fine in terms of CPU, and none of the
top 10 or 15 processes that I see in top are using
much CPU ... but the load average is very high -
sometimes as high as 30 or 40 ...

I have good reason to suspect that the load is high
due to I/O.  I can see the number of processes
blocking on I/O in vmstat, and I can see iostat for
the entire machine, of course ...

BUT HOW do I see on a per process basis which
processes are using the most I/O time ?  It does not
help me to simply see that the system is using a lot
of I/O ... I need to know which processes specifically
are guilty, and to see them in some kind of ranked
order, just like top shows me for CPU usage.

So what would you recommend ?  Is there some way of
interpreting top to see that, or a way to tell top
to show me based on I/O instead of CPU ?

Any suggestions appreciated.

printer toooo slow (hpdj990Cxi on lpt0)

2004-10-04 Thread Peter Ulrich Kruppa

Hi!
I am running a HP Deskjet 990Cxi on parallel port, with cups and 
hpijs on FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 - everything updated and portupgraded 
last thursday.

Generally it prints nicely, but far to slow - a simple OpenOffice 
document needs 3 or 4 minutes, the cups test page about 10.
Strange enough I don't see any heavy activities on my CPU or big 
loads on my RAM.

I tried to play around with the configuration, but didn't find 
anything satisfying.

Does anybody have an idea, how I could check what goes wrong with 
this thing? Or could at least someone confirm that I am not the 
only person in the world with this problem?

Thanks for your answers,
Uli.

Salvaging data from bad drive

2004-10-04 Thread Jonathon McKitrick


Hi all,

my drive crashed, and I have backups, but the latest data is still on the
drive.  I can boot with a fixit disk, but the fixit disk doesn't have the
device for the /usr partition I need to access.

Can I use the fixit CD instead?  Is there an easier way to access the
partition?  I just need to mount /usr long enough to get my data.

Re: When Unix Stops Being Fun

2004-10-04 Thread Robert Dormer

Having looked at the list, honesty - it's not nearly as much as it
looks like.  Seriously.  It's well within your ken to learn ALL of
that.  Easily.  Just do this - get a few machines.  Throw FreeBSD on
them.  Hell, throw Open or Net on one or two, RedHat or Gentoo or
Debian on another.

Now plug them all into a hub.  Get them to play nicely together. 
Shouldn't take more than a few weeks of messing around.  By the end of
that you should know just about everything on that list.  Not have it
commited to memory, but hey - who does?

I mean - why do you think they invented man pages?

I want to second this wholeheartedly.

However, take Robert's advice to heart.  I think if you try to learn
this stuff without a experimental network to try things out on, you'll
either drive yourself mad, or simply fail.

If you're serious about doing this, it's worth the $$$ to invest in
4 or 5 used computers to learn on.  You really need more than one
if you're going to understand how things interact across a network,
and you want to have at least 1 computer that you _don't_ experiment
with, so it's always reliable to use for email or searching for
docs on the 'net.

And I agree with Robert, that if you're serious about wanting to do
this, you CAN accomplish it.

problem with php mysql

2004-10-04 Thread Perica Veljanovski

Hi all,

I have trouble installing/configuring php with mysql support. I tired
installing the php5 interpreter WITH_MYSQL=yes from the ports, and when
I try to start a mysql_connect(); php syntax, i get:

Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in someFile.php on line N.

I tired installing mod_php5 (first i removed lang/php5) and the same
thing happens.
php.ini and httpd.conf are ok as far as I can tell :P But since I'm not
experienced in Apache/php configuration, I would appreciate some pointers
to where should I look for mysql support configuration.

I run on a cvsup-ed 4.7 to FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE (port's cvsuped allso)
I have:
mysql-client-5.0.0_2 Multithreaded SQL database (client)

BSD Booting question (with windows)?

2004-10-04 Thread Andy Scheriff

Hi.

I just installed freebsd on my laptop yesterday. I have a previous
version of windows on there (windows XP Home) as well. I was told by a
friend that I would be able to boot between BSD and windows easily,
however I seem to be having some problems. I am using that bootloader
that BSD recommends you use.

My problem is that when I reach the boot screen, and try to boot to
DOS (windows), it gives me the following error:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
Windows root\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.

And that is about it. I've never formally used BSD before, so I am
kind of in the dark on what to do next. I know the logical thing would
be to just replace the file, and that is really easy for me to do from
DOS, but I am not sure how to go about doing this in BSD. Could you
please help me?

 Well, I can only tell you about my own experience, but perhaps it will 
 help. I have always been a techie, getting my first computer at the age 
 of 14 - an Apple IIe. Learned some Basic, some peeks and pokes and even 
 some assembly. But I found that I also liked music, and tended more to 
 that side of things for the latter half of my teens and into my 20s, 
 though I never went to college (started a few times, but didn't know 
 what I wanted to do). Somehow I ended up doing web design for a band in 
 my mid 20s, and even though the band broke up, I was good enough at it 
 that it became my career in 2000, right when the dot-com bubble started 
 to burst.
 
 I was 30, just starting my career with no degree but making $50k (not 
 great, but not bad), and worked for three different failed companies in 
 the course of a year and a half. Most of this time I was using Windows, 
 but I used various flavors of *nix during the course of my work, mostly 
 Red Hat, plus I installed SuSE at home and used it occasionally. My 
 specialty was front-end web development - I found it increasingly 
 difficult to find work from 2001 onward, especially because I had no 
 strong programming skills, but could do JavaScript and some other 
 scripting, and I also didn't have credentials as a graphic designer, 
 even though I could do it by gut instinct (which sometimes isn't good 
 enough).
 
 Eventually I came to hate doing web design, partially because I couldn't 
 find paying work, but mostly because it's not the right discipline for 
 me anyway - it sort of fell in my lap, and I made a go of it. I've been 
 bouncing around between low paying jobs since then, wondering how the 
 hell to get my career started again without going back to school for 
 four years to get a computer science degree, when I discovered FreeBSD. 
 That was last spring.
 
 I now know exactly what I want to do, which is to get that computer 
 science degree and then some, specializing in systems administration, 
 and to go into teaching at the college level. First, I know this is a 
 hard road, especially at the age of 34, but I am tired of not *really* 
 knowing my stuff, so to speak. I've been a techie my whole life and 
 even made some money at it, but I've gotten by without having the deep 
 knowledge required to really understand the workings of an *nix OS such 
 as FreeBSD, which I very much want to do, and plus it's time to get 
 serious. I've also found that the systems administration/network end of 
 the spectrum is what suits me best, but I don't care about getting paid 
 big money as much as wanting to teach others (and, concurrently, also 
 have the time and resources to devote to projects such as FreeBSD). 
 It's not a particularly glorious career choice, and if I were a bit 
 different I might want to really go for the corporate path and a fat 
 salary, but honestly I'm happier not working in that sort of 
 environment.
 
 YMMV.

My situation has some similarities to JT's.  I graduated with a history
degree back in 1994.  Through a series of interesting events, a few
months after graduation I found myself working as an auto mechanic.  A
few years after that I found myself working in customer service at a
large apparel company.  While at this job I created an MS Access
database for myself and my small department.  This was my first small
jump into anything remotedly computer related.  Somehow I was able to
parlay that experience into a decent paying contract job working with MS
Access.  While working that contract I realized that networking was an
area that interested me more.  So, I started getting some certifications
and got a job at a networking company.  Up to this point (a year or
two), my experience was only with MS Windows.  A friend of mine
mentioned to me one day that he had heard about an OS called FreeBSD,
which was purported to have one of the best networking stacks around.
Because of my interest in networking I installed it.  As they say, the
rest is history; it has been my OS ever since, both desktop and server.  

Regarding knowledge, there was a time in the past that I was blown away
by a friend of mine who understood how to manually configure an IP
address and netmask.  This, among many other things, made me feel as if
he were some sort of computer genius.  However, my feelings about his
skills were only relative my own at that time, and I didn't have any
other frame of reference.  Now that I have been working with computers,
and specifically FreeBSD and Linux, for the past five or six years, my
knowledge has utterly eclipsed that of my friend.  This is the natural
course of things.  Yet I still feel as if I have only scratched the
surface.  Many people on this list would probably make me look more like
an infant stacking blocks when it comes to FreeBSD.

I have got to a level of proficiency and knowledge that I feel can only
best proceed through

Well, you could certainly mount the harddisk partitions somewhere in the
filesystem while running under the CDROM booted kernel.  However, I
seriously doubt if you could change the running kernel to that from the
harddisk.  Why not just reboot to the harddisk after you have finished
your diagnostics with the CDROM?

The only way that I can think of that you may be able to have your sshd
box know your non-NATed IP address, or hostname, would be to have the
ssh client set an environment variable when you first login.  You could
then consult that variable as needed.  Check the sshd man page.  Here is
a snip:

Additionally, ssh reads $HOME/.ssh/environment, and adds lines of the
format ``VARNAME=value'' to the environment if the file exists and if
users are allowed to change their environment.  See the
PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config(5).

I doubt that you will be able to find an acceptable resolution to your

Magical HDD Space Doubling! wonky bsdlabel?

2004-10-04 Thread Kevin D. Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.

The other day I decided to dispose of a drive's worth of WinNT data
in order to make more FreeBSD machines in the world (cheer!)
In the past I've often used sysinstall for this purpose, so I decided
to try the other method suggested by the handbook.  I think I got
a little funky with bsdlabel, though.  Check this out:
   % dmesg | grep ad
   GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc5f54660
   ad0: 38166MB ST340014A [77545/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100

   ad3: 38166MB ST340015A [77545/16/63] at ata1-slave UDMA33
   Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
Note that both ad1 and ad3 report 38166 MB disks.
Now, the only thing I intended to be different on the
new disk (ad3) was that it be dangerously dedicated
and have its own /tmp partition (ad1 has tmp on /).
However:
% df -h
FilesystemSize   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on

So, ad3 is ~72GB?? ... I'd gladly take the extra space,
but it can't really be there, can it?
Here's the bsdlabel output, and a uname.  Can
anyone tell me what I did wrong (other than the obvious,

on what I was doing ... :-o )

RE: Load increase after upgrading php4

2004-10-04 Thread Sheets, Jason (OZ CEEDR)

Building PHP modules makes it very easy to load optional functionality
however it will decrease performance, sometimes drastically.

I hand build PHP because of this reason and also because I want upgrades
as soon as they are released and ports usually lags a few days.

It is also possible something changed in PHP between the two installs,
I'd try a hand compile of PHP without using modules for the
functionality you know you want.

There is a lot of really good information available about tuning PHP +
Apache that can be accessed by searching on google.com.

 Subject: Load increase after upgrading php4
 
 Early September I upgraded php4 using the new php port structure (that
 is php4 and php4-extensions). Since then I have noticed quite an
 increase in server load - I'd say my current load is about five times
 what it was before. Graph available here:
 http://bjorn.swift.is/tmp/hermes-uptime-year.png
 
 I suspect this being because the new way seems to compile everything
 as loadable modules. My question is basically whether this is just
how
 it is and that I should compile php myself I want it built as one
 binary - or if this increase in load is something not to be expected.
 
 Has anyone else witnessed anything like this on their servers? What
did
 you do ?
 
 The server is a patched FreeBSD 4.8 running php 4.3.8 and apache
1.3.31.
 It's not a heavy loaded one, serving an average of just over 3
req/sec,
 but most of the files (besides images) are rather bloated php scripts;
 webmail, message boards and such. The server is running Nick
Lindridge's
 PHP Accelerator.
 
 If anyone has any tips or thoughts they would be greatly appreciated.
 
 (Would freebsd-isp perhaps be a better list for a question of this
 sort?)

OLD e-machines box and XF86Config

Folks,

Does anybody onlist have a working XF86Config for an 
old year 2000 emachine 500ix?  It's been close to two
years since X has been working correctly on his old system. 

I just upgraded it to a full 256M of SDRAM and added a
huge drive.  Now am getting ready toput 5.3 on there.
xf86config, the shell version, didn't work, and it looks
like I messed up on the GUI config.

Assistance much appreciated.

There are a lot of things that could be happening, and I doubt that the gcc
version has anything to do with this.
1) did you recompile your kernel without debugging options? I don't 
know if the
default kernel comes with them turned off. Also, your malloc.conf may not be
set up for speed (may have debugging options still).

2) You may want to try a later version of FreeBSD, for example... wait for 5.3
to come out. I'm using 5.3-BETA6 right now, and without doing any testing to
get actual numbers, it feels a lot faster.

Sigh.  The malloc debugging options in 5.2.1 really will slow down 
userland programs which heavily utilize dynamic memory by a significant 
amount, as will kernel options used for debugging such as WITNESS and 
INVARIANTS.

It's not hard to measure these effects if you bother to try.  If you 
want to test FreeBSD's performance in a meaningful fashion, and you are 
unwilling to disable the debugging options enabled in 5.x, using 4.10 
is good advice.  Or wait for 5.3 to finish the current beta testing 
cycle and be released, and then test that.

It's hard to give a good answer to a bad question :)

In order to accurately diagnose the problem we need a way to repeat

I'm into FreeBSD for over two years now. It is the only OS I ever got really 
close to, after using Winblows for four years. Apart from this, I only had a 
quick look at NetBSD and SuSE Linux.

 Through all this, I've developed a passion for this type of OS, seeing the
 elegance, performance, and sheer power of Unix.  This has affected me to
 the point of me changing my career path.

Me too.

[...]
 Now, being that I know there are some very experienced people on this list,
 I'm betting that I'm not the only one that has experienced this, that
 learning new things in Unix-like OSs becomes more of a chore than something
 to do for fun.  My question is, what advice would you have for dealing with
 this?

I developed a few rules and techniques for keeping the interest:

1. Avoid doing the same thing over and over again.
2. Do bigger projects as well as some playful experimenting.
3. Don't use closed-source (or commercial) software. I don't know how you
   react to it, but the closed look and feel really puts me off.
4. If it's running well, don't interrupt it. Unless you feel you're hitting
   the wall, don't take a break while solving a complex problem.
5. Keep one style for one session. If you're into multiple things that have to
   do with computers, don't mix them up. Especially don't mix high-level and
   low-level activities. For example, don't do Javascript programming (or
   webdesign in general), complex image editing or maybe even 3D modelling on
   the console with a CLI. On the other hand, don't do ASM programming in a
   graphical IDE, use vi instead. If you do the dirtiest lowest-level hacks,
   you may be well advised to even use TECO, or some other editor which is
   really hard to use.

I don't know to which extent these rules apply to you, but they always worked 
for me. Keep in mind that this is NOT the way to high productivity, but it 
can help if your interest is fading away.
If this doesn't help, there's one more technique that will (if done properly) 
certainly make UNIX fun again, but it implies a LOT of overhead, and I'm 
almost sure you don't want to do this unless you have nothing to do for the 
next few months.

Regards,
Daniela

php4 with gd?

2004-10-04 Thread Ray Davis

I must be totally dense, but after trying a number of things,
searching the mailing lists, searching google, reading the freebsd
ports doc, searching the php web - I still can not get php4 to
build with gdlib support using the ports collection.

We already had a working mod_php4 built and installed, and just
want to add gdlib support.  None of the following (as well as
other incantations) work in either the www/mod_php4 port nor the
lang/php4 port:

make deinstall; make reinstall
make deinstall; make clean; make install
make deinstall; make WITH_GD=YES reinstall
make deinstall; make clean; make WITH_GD=YES install

Can someone please give me a clue?  I thought I remembered that
there was a text gui asking what options we want, but it doesn't
appear anymore.

There seems to be a big gap between simply installing a port with
its defaults and finding out what other options might be available
via the WITH_* and WITHOUT_* options.  Isn't this documented with
each port somewhere?

Thanks!
Ray

Look at the Makefile and the CONFIGURE_ARGS variable. I don't know the

B: Even with the speed issues in 5.2.1, 50% is quite a large difference, 
so I thought it was likely that there was something else going on, but 
of course, like you said, we would need more information to determine

IPNAT max static mapping hardcored?

2004-10-04 Thread gkullak

Hi,
I come from iptables over Red Hat 7.3 in my cable connection(512Kbps).
This structure with 20 machines nated in my LAN. 3 machines are running
Overnet, this may be that we must redirect 6 port (1 TCP and 1 UDP for
each machine) for each Overnet machine. This work fine and transparent
proxy in the same machine work fine too.

 Internet --- x.x.x.x(public address) | RH 7.3 | 172.16.0.2 LAN

Now, I have been installed FreeBSD 4.10 with ipfilter in RH7.3 position
instead, but when I start Overnet on FreeBSD and overnet in ONE machine of
the LAN, the FreeBSD crash.
What it mean crash? SSH is very slow to prompt for password, proxy
transparent may be work, may be no. If a put proxy setting in my IE
configuration, the thing work better.

Anybody tell my that in one .h C library, the ipfilter program define a
constant that fix the max static connection...this is really???

Actually, with ipnat -s, I see 780 mapping.
Is this number really high?

This do that I thing that ipfilter is designed for very small networks
with very network load.

What do you thing? I will try putting Red Hat again for test.

Wi-Fi

2004-10-04 Thread Petros V

Hello everybody,

I am working with Linux but I know that FreeBSD makes a server safer. 
I want to use FreeBSD as an Internet Gateway between a wireless router
and a hub for wireless network cards. Does the FreeBSD have
applications that support the 802.11g ?
What I want is not exactly an access point but a wireless connection 
between the phone line and the internet gateway seperated by a wall.
What about bluetooth? I have seen a package (if I remember it's name
was Fritz) but I don't know if it has drivers for FreeBSD.


Yours sincerely,
Petros.

Run dhclient.  You can also put a line like:
ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP
...in /etc/rc.conf, if you always want to use DHCP for configuring that 
particular network interface.

When using sysinstall (configure - Networking - Interfaces - select your 
physical device) answer the question Do you want to try DHCP configuration 
of the interface? with YES or if you don't like sysinstall 
edit /etc/rc.conf and make sure you have a line reading:

ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP

Make sure to replace fxp0 with your physical interface name (e.g: xl0 for the 
first 3com card, rl1 for the second Realtek card)

You may also want to add this line to /etc/dhclient.conf

send host-name yourhostname;

man dhclient is your friend.

Re: Troubleshoting with nat

2004-10-04 Thread knowtree

 Dear sir
 I have two network on two different switch. My pc have two lan cards

I assume that this pc is supposed to link the two networks together.

 among which 1st is connected to 1st switch and 2nd is connected to
 second switch. Both the switch are not cascaded. One pc from 1st network
 can ping to 1st card and not to 2nd card and 2nd network , in the same
 manner pc from 2nd network can't ping to 1st card and 1st network . How
 to do it without cascading .  All my pc are running windows 2000 server
 and professional.

What is my pc (the one with two lan cards) running? If it is running
FreeBSD, or you are considering using FreeBSD, look at this part of the
handbook:

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

It is not clear to me if you want pcs on the two LAN segments to ping each
other, or be prevented from reacing each other. If it is prevention you
want, try here:

 I want to use FreeBSD as an Internet Gateway between a wireless router

Yes. The key is to use a compatible wi-fi card. Read this portion of the

 What I want is not exactly an access point but a wireless connection

Sounds like an IBSS (ad-hoc) setup; you will need two FreeBSD boxes.

Problem regarding dhcp and FreeBSD 4.10 on a laptop

2004-10-04 Thread Scott Key

I have a Toshiba Satellite that used to run Win 98 until I got fed up and installed 
FreeBSD. This is my first FreeBSD installation, though I received help from a few 
people more knowledgable than I. The problem I am having is this: I have comcast 
broadband internet on a Linksys Wireless-G Gateway Modem/Router. I have two other 
computers that run windows, both of which have no problem using dhcp to obtain their 
IP addresses. For reasons that I have been unable to figure out after days of 
searching the internet, DHCP will assign a proper IP when pccard_ifconfig is set to 
use it in the rc.conf. The problem is that I am unable to get past the network. I can 
ping within the network to my hearts content, and if pinging my router and other 
computers was entertaining for more than five seconds, I'd be dandy. I have tried 
setting static IP's, I've tried manually adding the route's needed into the routing 
table, but NOTHING thus far has allowed be get outside the network. I contacted my 
cable company, who dutifully reported to me that they have no idea what FreeBSD is, 
anything other than Windows or Mac, and they are useless. In any event, I hope that 
some help can be provided in this matter. Everything else with FreeBSD works 
wonderfully, but for some reason, it simply will not allow me access the internet. 
Just to clarify, the PCcard is being recognized by FreeBSD, I added it in, it works 
fine. I have configured rc.conf to include a pccard_ifconfig (currently it's set to 
DHCP, which seems to be setting the appropriate ip address). Any help that could be 
offered would be most appreciated.

netstat 'Ierrs' - meaning and possible causes

I have got a particular machine on our network that is seeing a very
high rate of 'Ierrs' when viewing network interface stats with:

$ netstat -i

What possible type of errors comprise 'Ierrs'?  Here is an example of
the output:

Name Mtu  Network  AddressIpktsIerrs   OpktsOerrs  Coll
xl0  1500 Link#1 long mac 92977239 5723973 95001292 0  2070292

According to this, input errors amount to about 6% of the total input
packets.  This number definitely exceeds the level of acceptable errors,
but since I'm not quite sure what Ierrs signifies I'm not sure where to
begin.  Bad hardware or media?  Are Ierrs received packets that are
identifiable by a header, but otherwise mangled?

Thanks,
Nathan

Note that defrag doesnt necessarily move _all_ files down to the
low end of the disk. I had to scour the net for other tools
to finally get EVERYTHING packed down low on the disk.

Then and only then can you safely repartition the disk without
destroying some semi-essential chunk on something that windows 
thinks it needs.

   Did you repartition in order to accomplish your dual boot?  If so your

   Try Microsoft Knowledge base article:

  do from DOS, but I am not sure how to go about doing this in BSD.
  Could you please help me?

Re: harddisk dying? / How do I fix superblock on SCSI drive?

2004-10-04 Thread Rob

Hi,
Your post may be timely for me.  How do you copy an alternate superblock 
on a   SCSI hard drive to replace the main superblock?  Mine got 
corrupted.  I did this routine once before on an IDE drive and it worked 
great.  But on SCSI, I understand less of how the drive works, so I 
don't know whether to use fsck or camcontrol or what.

Any pointers to info on the web or FreeBSD site would be helpful too.  I 
have read the manual material on SCSI drive related commands, but I am 
very confused.   My drives are later model SCSI-160 types, with an 
Adaptec 29160 controller board.  The drive is using UFS2 and UFS, as 
this is an AMD64 box, and I have a FreeBSD 5.3beta 32bit partition in 
there too.  Cable is properly terminated and I'm using new low profile 
round SCSI cables.  I don't know what I did to cause this.

Thanks for anyone who can help.   Sincerely, Rob

Well, a good start would be to give some details of the machine (in

The general consensus seems to be to go with X.org, especially with
unusual hardware.  I'm doing so, and it works for me.

Thanks to haaving used SuSE in 2000, its probe got the initial
video card stuff and an XF86Config listing::

VendorName  Unknown
BoardName   ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC
VideoRam4096


According to the E-Machine's people,  the built-in
vidio chip can run at 1280x1024; I never tried 
it higher that 1024x768.

It's a 500MHz P-II
with 70GB disc, 256MB memory, and some cheesy sound card.
E-Machines is pretty well known so I prob'ly don't have
to exlain anything there.  We (an EE buddy) put in two new
fans and a new PS; I figure it's good for ahnother 4 or 5
years.  I'd just like to have a working X config file.
Right now, startx works; but xdm bring up a bare-bones
mono-chrome window, and after I type in my name/passwd,
xdm quits and repawns.  The /etc/X11/  directory has several
misc files that might be interfering with xdm, but I don't
understand how.  (I don't find anything interesting in
/tmp/.*)

I can use the box via my KVM switch, but intend to use this
for further driver testing and so want the xdm xlogin
to work.  

Any clues?

Right now the emachine is running 4.8; I'll go x.org once
5.3-R or -STABLE is out.

_All_ your superblocks?  If so, I think you're screwed.
If it's only the primary superblock, then you _may_ be able to
salvage things.  Googling 'FreeBSD and alternate superblock' found
http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/fsck.htm, which is at least a
starting place.

You can feed fsck the -b 32 (or some other superblock) option to clean 
the filesystem using an alternate superblock.  If possible, you want to 
try to do a SCSI REASsign Block command (reasb) to use any 
available spare sectors to replace the bad one.  It's possible that one 
of the following might be helpful:

/usr/ports/sysutils/sformat
/usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools
I suggest running a long self-test and checking the SMART status on the 
drive.  Modern drives are supposed to reassign bad blocks themselves, 
so it is quite possible that your drive has already used up all of its 
spare sectors and is going to fail completely very soon.

Release Compiler options

2004-10-04 Thread Emanuel Strobl

I really spent some time tracing the make release, but couldn't find any way 
to modify the compiler flags for the release. Why do I need a 
populated /usr/obj if it's never touched? I really think I'm missing 
something. Two years ago I had no problems building specail 4.4-RELEASEs.

Any hint is welcome.
