SSH from private to public IP: Impossible??
Good Day, I used ssh to log-in remotely from work to my home pc which already obtained a temporary ip address from my isp, however, I failed to connect. Is it because I am ssh'ing using a pc with a private ip? I tried pinging my remote pc but no single packet returned.. I'm thinking that any other service such as ftpd or httpd will not work also, though I've not tried it yet. I've tried ftp'ing my home pc but using a public ip and it worked.. I'm not sure if it will still work from a private ip computer. Any idea? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

If so, you can't connect, that's true, if there's not a nat gateway substituting the private address by its public address in every ip packet. If you can access web pages from your private ip system, that's probably because of a proxy server in your network which fetches pages from the outside if required from within the local network.

Re: FreeBSD on Dell Inspiron
On Oct 6, 2004, at 12:20 AM, Igor Partola wrote: [ ... ] 1) My touchpad is an ALPS touchpad. When I had Linux running on this machine I had to patch the kernel so it would work with a synaptics ALPS driver (within synaptics there is a file called alps.patch). FreeBSD recognizes the touchpad as an ALPS glidepoint, but the sensetivity is terrible! I use moused and X11 uses /dev/sysmouse, so I tried to tweak with moused options. I managed to speed up the pointer but it gets really hard to point precisely. (In Windows where I can use the native driver from Apoint it is a lot smoother). Any solutions? There have been some recent discussions about that kind of touchpad. You might have to update from 5.2.1 to a more recent 5.3-beta in order to obtain improvements, but man psm under 5.3 mentions: bit 11 FORCETAP Some pad devices report as if the fourth button is pressed when the user `taps' the surface of the device (see CAVEATS). This flag will make the psm driver assume that the device behaves this way. Without the flag, the driver will assume this behavior for ALPS GlidePoint models only. [ ... ] CAVEATS Many pad devices behave as if the first (left) button were pressed if the user `taps' the surface of the pad. In contrast, some pad products, e.g. some versions of ALPS GlidePoint and Interlink VersaPad, treat the tap- ping action as fourth button events. It is reported that Interlink VersaPad requires both HOOKRESUME and INITAFTERSUSPEND flags in order to recover from suspended state. These flags are automatically set when VersaPad is detected by the psm driver. Perhaps try setting: hint.psm.0.flags=0x800 ...in /boot/device.hints...and see whether that helps. 2) The ACPI partially works: S1 is supported but it'd be nice to turn off the screen with it. By the way if I disable ACPI (acpiconf -d), closing the lid turns off the screen. Is there a config file or something I could edit? 3) S3 sleep state reboots the computer. Has anybody gotten it working? Is there an expected fix of it? Likewise, there has been a fair number of improvements to ACPI power management support between 5.2.1 and 5.3; updating to a more recent version is likely to help. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: DooM3 not working on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE :/
On Wed, Oct 06, 2004 at 12:28:15AM -, Hugo Silva wrote: Hi, I'm running into trouble trying to run the DooM3 beta on FreeBSD. Yesterday I installed the Doom3 client on 5.3(-BETA5) and the game runs well AFAICT (played one or two levels). I quickly tested the install on 4.10 and 6.0 and also there it worked fine. The first run on 6.0 resulted in a reboot but there were no further crashes. Unfortunately, I have no 5.2.1 system to try. The screen will stay gray for awhile and then my resolution will be messed up and the system mouseless (cursor won't move) - I can fix this by running Return to Castle Wolfenstein which will give back mouse control and reset resolution. You might try 'xvidtune -unlock' to escape from that situation, at least the resolution part. I don't know about the mouse. I've digged a bit into the problem, but it's 4.30 AM and I can't think on anything else. Here's how the game stops: game initialized. -- Initializing Session session initialized -- Sys_MapCharForKey: doom key 43 - keycode failed Sys_MapCharForKey: doom key 126 - keycode failed --- Common Initialization Complete --- terminal support disabled pid: 36927 496 MB System Memory 64 MB Video Memory Async thread started signal caught: Aborted si_code 0 Trying to exit gracefully.. - Game Map Shutdown -- -- Shutting down sound hardware --- OSS Sound Shutdown --- unmap dma sound buffer close sound device -- idRenderSystem::Shutdown() double fault Aborted, bailing out So it's obvious it's something to do with threading. This makes me think the game will only run on the 5.3 version.. which would be a major drawback for me as I don't plan to install 5.3 on my workstation (everything is working flawlessly, and the idea of upgrading the OS+nvidia drivers+all ports is not so nice..) The upgrade 5.2.1 - 5.3 is indeed a bit bumpy, requiring a lot of port rebuilds or fun with libmap.conf. However, I found that the 'new' nvidia-driver (version 6113) in combination with 5.3 was a significant improvement, especially concerning stability, on my system. I also heard about regression with the new driver though, so YMMV. Karel. A ktrace shows this: 36983 doom.x86 RET write 148/0x94 36983 doom.x86 CALL #175(0x2,0,0xbfbfdde8,0x8) 36983 doom.x86 RET #175 0 36983 doom.x86 CALL #179(0xbfbfdde8,0x8) 36983 doom.x86 RET #179 -1 errno -4 Unknown error: -4 36983 doom.x86 PSIG SIG(null) caught handler=0x28345e94 mask=0x8000 code=0 36983 doom.x86 CALL #119(0xbfbfdaf8) 36983 doom.x86 RET #119 JUSTRETURN 36983 doom.x86 CALL old.sendmsg(0x9078,0,0x8000,0) 36983 doom.x86 RET old.sendmsg 36984/0x9078 36983 doom.x86 CALL #91(0x2833a000,0x1000) 36983 doom.x86 RET #91 0 36983 doom.x86 CALL exit(0x6) So I'm pretty much out of ideas to make the game work..

Re: How-to capture error messages from ... recent instant-workst
Hello! Can someone tell me where to look for how to capture the console screens that fly by in the port install process? Before starting the installation, issue this command: script /var/tmp/portinstall.log After finishing the installation (successfully or unsuccessfully), issue this command: exit Then you can read everything that was printed on the console during installation from the file /var/tmp/portinstall.log (which may be pretty large!). Unfortunately I am not familiar with instant-workstation port so I can't comment on that specific situation. My only idle thought is that if you are not sure what various port configure options do it may be safer to leave them as defaults. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Cannibal's recipe book: How to Serve Your Fellow Man. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you going to change the partition sizes and/or locations? Well then, I guess it boils down to: do it the way you feel most comfortable with. Forget backing up passwd, master.passwd and group. 5.3 has added new users and groups, and removed some. Replacing the 5.3 files with the saved ones from 5.2.1 is asking for a disaster to happen.

As for the above, I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it seems to me that if you're going to install FreeBSD5.3, then you want FreeBSD 5.3. If you cvsup the FreeBSD5.3 sources and go through the world/kernel process, you're compiling only the sources that you have on your existing system as it is, after the cvsup. If you want to keep it at the sources that are on your system prior to the cvsup, there's no point in going through the world/kernel sequence.

LDAP support is compiled into Evolution by default. Therefore, there
must be something wrong with your OpenLDAP installation. Look at the
output of make configure under mail/evolution to see if LDAP support is
actually being enabled. If not, the clues as to why will be in the
config.log inside the evolution ${WRKSRC} directory.

You may want to install the gtk-doc package

I get the same when running make WITH_LDAP=yes configure
Here's the relevant info from config.log
configure:11888: checking for OpenLDAP
configure:11895: result: no
So the configure script isn't finding ldap.
I have openldap-client-2.2.15 installed. Is that the wrong package,
do I need the full server. I wouldn't think so.
Check your /etc/make.conf to make sure you do not have WITHOUT_LDAP
defined. Also, run make rmconfig in the mail/evolution directory, then
redo the make configure.

Firewall concept question
Looking to use a FreeBSD server as a firewall for a modem pool. The theory is we only want to give them access to HTTP and DNS (which we could do as proxy on the FreeBSD box). For accountability reasons, each modem will be assigned a specific IP address. That way, I'll be able to use Radius accounting to keep track of who was logged in on what ip at what time. The idea being that if someone uses the modems to launch an attack or whatever, we have something to work with for tracking the user down if the authorities come knocking. I haven't set up a FreeBSD firewall before, so I have a best way question: Should I use transparent mode where each modem has a public ip address or use something like static NAT entries? I'd planned on using a transparent mode, since I was familiar with it from using a Netscreen. It would seem to have the easiest accounting. But, wasn't sure if I could do that using FreeBSD, so static NAT entries would be the next best thing... Right? I would also entertain the idea of using something like Squid so all access is through a local proxy, then simply lock the firewall down completely. But, I'm still concerned about the accountability in case someone manages to launch an attack thru the proxy. I'd have to have some way of easily mapping back to the ip of the modem based on the external information given to me by authorities (ie: public ip address). Any other suggestions for methods to accomplish this task are welcome. Thanks!

Having a problem running quake3 on my system running 5.2.1 FreeBSD
Hi, I am tring to run /usr/ports/games/q3server (quake3) and runs into the problem. The installation seems to be OK but game would not start because of the the following error.

KDE 3.3 upgrade and Sound
I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and upgraded from KDE 3.1 to 3.3. After completing the upgrade, I found that I did not have any system sounds. Following the instuctions in the UPDATING file in /usr/ports, I removed the knotifyrc file. After logging out and back into KDE, I now have system sounds but applications like XMMS and KsCD will not produce sounds, yet they access the the CD drive and will list files correctly. I have also upgraded from XFree86 to xorg. What additional information that I could provide could help on this matter? Or am I just overlooking something in the Kcontrols?

networking problem? maybe
Hi there, i have just installed freebsd 4.9 one of my machies. This box is configured to be a gateway/router. The install was a base install, and i recompiled with the IPFILTER options. Ive added the net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 to my /etc/sysctl.conf. When accessing the internet (via ADSL/PPPoE) on the gateway machine, my downloads are very fast, and im very happy. my problem is that when i connect any computer to this LAN, the speed drops dramatically. For example: From the gateway machine speed 90K/s. From Machine attached to gateway machine speed 10K/s. Im not very good with networking, so im not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this. May someone suggest something for me to check. I would like to keep my gateway with freebsd. I hope this wasn't too confusing. thank-you aya Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

As long as I don't remove the old libraries, all apps should work fine. I was just curious to know whether I should recompile all apps so that they may work better by using the new libraries.

disk geometry confussion
Hi, I had a disk failure recently, and bought a new drive afterwards. it is 80GB WD800BB model. I went on with a fast install to restore my ability to work. I created a small slice in the leading gigas. Now I wanted to go on with slicing the disk, but I got stuck. When I get to sysinstall's fdisk I get a warning that my geometry is incorrect and an explanation as follows: quote you need to enter whatever your BIOS thinks the geometry is! For IDE, it's what you were told in BIOS setup. (...) _Do NOT use phisical geometry._ /quote The BIOS recognizes my disk as: 38309/16/255. The fdisk when started claims 155061/16/63 is wrong, when I follow and press G to setup the correct values, it presents me with 9729/255/63. I tried all of them, but I always get the incorrect geometry message and whenever I try to write changes to disk, I get: quote ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad0 Disk partition write returned an error status /quote OK, so here it states smth contrary to the sysinstall warning: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=pllr=selm=3ee36290%241%40news. broadpark.no ...that I should follow with disk CHS values. I got them from WD site (16383/16/63), and these are the only ones fdisk do not complain when entered, but! it is the contrary to what the fdisk warning states when run: quote (...) _Do NOT use phisical geometry._ /quote Please enlighten me.
