You have to edit the source. If you know the hex for the partition type
then it's reasonably easy. Below is a simple patch that adds 0x7 (my
NTFS/Windows) and recognises it as DOS. Done out of curiosity, more
than anything.
(From memory...)
cd /usr/src
patch {patchname}
cd sys/boot/i386/boot0/
make
make install
boot0cfg -B -o packet /dev/{your disk}
Be warned that the final boot0cfg has to be 512 bytes so if you add a
string it may become longer. I haven't tested my patch for the serial
console boot. The patch incorporates taking out the bell on
non-serial-console boots as well (pinched from somewhere else, now
forgotten) -- it was just annoying. The patch comes with no warranties,
but it's working for me. (I don't promise either that including it here
won't bu**er up the spaces/tabs).
Of course, once you applied and rebuilt you have to write it to your
boot sector. Man boot0cfg and don't forget -o packet if your partitions
go past cylinder 1024. And have a FreebSD boot CD handy so you can
rewrite with a standard one if this doesn't work!
The final problem is that if you use cvsup it will trash all over any
source changes you make when you next run it. Doing anything about that
seems more complicated than can be justified for a small number of
patches so I just keep them in a separate dir an re-apply them whenever
I need to. In this case, it will be just after I reaslise that I've
installed a beeping boot manager again :-)
--Alex
PS just spotted the -m flag to boo0cfg for the first time. Amazing what
you find when you read the man pages :-)

Squid transparent proxy masquerading as Client IPs
Some ISPs use Linux with tproxy kernel patch to masquerade the requests from clients and make them appear as if they came from the client with no proxy connection. After digging around the squid-cache archives and mailing lists, Henrik Nordstrom suggested using tcp_outgoing_address and nat to achieve the same on FreeBSD and Squid in transparent (intercepting mode). The Idea is to assign for each Client a private IP on the Squid Server (as aliases worked fine). In squid.conf we add header_access Via deny all header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all # this removes both headers # and for each client we need acl clientxxx src real ip tcp_outgoing_address private ip clientxxx Squid binds requests from clientxxx's real ip to the private ip then we nat those to the real ip making the request appear as if it came directly from the client not the proxy. To make things easy I used two scripts. 1. I added the add-alias.sh script to /etc/rc.local to create the aliases on startup # add-alias.sh start IP=110 MAXIP=150 PRIV=10.10.10 ALIASIF=Ethernet Interface # I used lo0 to do the aliases on # Also I tested a virtual interface (netgraph) # Just to make sure no conflicts with transparent proxy rules (loops) while [ $IP -le $MAXIP ] do if !( ifconfig $ALIASIF inet $PRIV.$IP netmask 0x alias ) then echo Error Creating Alias $PRIV.$IP on $ALIASIF exit fi IP=$(( $IP + 1 )) done # add-alias.sh end 2. The squid-ipnat.sh script deletes the old ipnat.conf file and creates a new one with rules for the external interface. It also creates 2 files with ACLs for squid I used it once to create the ipnat.conf file and keep it just in case I need to change the IPs (real/private). And the 2 files with ACLs for squid were used to copy and paste the ACLs to squid.conf. Oh ya backup you configuration files just in case. # squid-ipnat.sh start IP=110 MAXIP=150 PRIV=10.10.10 REAL=xxx.xxx.xxx EXTIF=External Interface # I used the external interface for nat cd path to ipnat rm ipnat.conf # carefull deletes old ipnat.conf file rm squid_acl.conf rm squid_tcp.conf while [ $IP -le $MAXIP ] do echo bimap $EXTIF from $PRIV.$IP/32 to 0.0.0.0/0 port = 80 - $REAL.$IP/32 ipnat.conf echo acl Client$IP src $REAL.$IP squid_acl.conf echo tcp_outgoing_address $PRIV.$IP Client$IP squid_tcp.conf # Client$IP is the name for the ACL expands from Client110 to Client150 # squid_acl.conf and squid_tcp.conf end in path to ipnat copy and paste to squid.conf both IP=$(( $IP + 1 )) done # squid-ipnat.sh end As you can see, I used IPNAT's bimap and tested the configuration for 40+ clients. My network is small and I wonder if someone can use this to test a larger network. Also test PF or IPFW/DIVERT/NAT and see what performs better or just for fun. One last note the tcp_outgoing_address does not follow the X-Forwarded-For patch and it caused me to lose my head since I had Dansguardian in front of Squid. The Delay pools followed-X fine and that caused me to think there was a problem with my configuration. After Disabling Dansguardian the configuration worked as expected. So do not wonder if it does not work if you use another proxy before squid. -- Kind regards Abu Khaled ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ggv errors with pdf
ggv Hello. Probably this one will be definitely my end question. I have a problem with ggv whilst trying to read pdf documents, not ps documents [attachment]. Moreover, I would like to know what's the best resource available to produce pdf or ps ones. Is it mandatory to pass through TeX? I'll try to stand alone in the future. Even if I am running a complicated installation of mixed-up releases, everything compiles and works. I have discovered this is a system much more modular than described in the manuals. It is even possible to compile strange kernels with mixed stuff of different releases. The problems come always from badly written third-party programs. The system remains always extremely stable and fast. Thanks as always, please CC me VITTORI ggv Description: Binary data ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Abiword, Gnumeric, and LyX printing woes
Hello all,
I am not able to print from Abiword or Gnumeric (now that I think about
it, I cannot print from LyX either... but that gives me no error
messages and, thusly, is hard to fix). I can print fine from, say
Firefox, or with the lpr command (on a PS file which is how I print
items in LyX... exporting them to LaTeX and then getting PS myself), or
from other computers (I configured this as a network printer as well
with CUPS). For Abiword, see below for a typical string of error
messages (the Gnumeric errors are similar so I will omit them for
brevity). Here's what I have done thus far for this problem.
1) Downloaded gnome_update.sh and let that cook for just about 24 hours
until it finished.
2) pkg_delete abiword cd editors/abiword make clean make
make install.
3) Searched FreeBSD Handbook, FAQ, and Mailing Lists.
4) Google.
I found some related items on 4), but with no real solution or answer as
to how to fix it. One person, for instance, just had to use portupgrade
on wxpython (I think that is what it was) and that fixed the problem. I
did portupgrade -arR and that did not fix the problem. In case it is
helpful, below the error message I put a listing of all installed ports.
Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all again.

DNS problem?
I am running a FreeBSD server behind a Linksys Wireless Access Point / Router (BEFW11S4). Its local address is 192.168.1.1. The Linksys is attached to a DSL modem. In my /etc/rc.conf file I have defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 which works most of the time. However occasionally, all network traffic freezes, I cannot login to the server using ssh and my mailing lists and websites do not function. If, at my server, I type host someip.com it reports 'no server can be found' or some similar message (I sorry, I didn't note down the exact message) - a reboot has fixed the problem. I assume that the problem is that the server is unable to find a DNS server. Is that right? Do I have it right that I should point defaultrouter at the firewall? How do I tell FreeBSD about other DNS servers to use if the firewall route fails? Why does pointing defaultrouter at the filewall fail?

RE: DNS problem?
I am running a FreeBSD server behind a Linksys Wireless Access Point / Router (BEFW11S4). Its local address is 192.168.1.1. The Linksys is attached to a DSL modem. In my /etc/rc.conf file I have defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 which works most of the time. However occasionally, all network traffic freezes, I cannot login to the server using ssh and my mailing lists and websites do not function. If, at my server, I type host someip.com it reports 'no server can be found' or some similar message (I sorry, I didn't note down the exact message) - a reboot has fixed the problem. I assume that the problem is that the server is unable to find a DNS server. Is that right? Probably... Do I have it right that I should point defaultrouter at the firewall? Assuming that the firewall is your gateway to the outside world, then yes. How do I tell FreeBSD about other DNS servers to use if the firewall route fails? If your resolving dns servers as listed in /etc/resolv.conf are outside the firewall, then they cannot be reached if the default route is down. Likewise if your resolving dns servers are inside or on the firewall, then their queries will never be answered. The effect is the same, you don't get an answer. Unless they have some cached results that have not yet timed out, but even with the cached answer you still cannot reach the destination, so the end effect is the same - you know where to go but cannot get there. Why does pointing defaultrouter at the filewall fail? Cable unplugged, switch down, nic dead, firewall down, upstream isp out, isp router down, electricity out, hard drive on firewall crashed, dsl/cable modem out, telco burped, and so forth for another hundred possible reasons... You could start troubleshooting by these steps: 1) ping 127.0.0.1 2) ping ip of local machine 3) ping localhost 4) ping hostname of local machine 5) ping another host on same lan by ip address 6) ping another host on same lan by hostname (if any exist in /etc/hosts) 7) ping interior ip of firewall (192.168.1.1) 8) ping exterior ip of firewall 9) ping default gateway of firewall 10) ping ip address of some internet host (yahoo.com = 66.94.234.13) As you proceed down this list it will give you clues as to what is wrong, and tell you where to look.

Problems with Dell/Seagate tape drive
Hiya I've installed FreeBSD-Stable on a Dell PowerEdge 600SC, and I'm having real problems getting the tape drive to work reliably. It's a Dell rebadged ATA Seagate/Certance STT2401A As I mentioned in a previous e-mail, I get the message 'ast0: FAILURE - REZERO timed out' when tar-ing files to it (after the files have been written, but before the drive starts to rewind). That message seems harmless enough, but I also keep getting intermittent kernel panics when I try to access it: 'supervisor read, page not present'. Has anyone else used this particular model of tape drive? If so, did you have any problems with it? I've tried switching cables and using master/slave/cable select, but it hasn't made any difference. Unfortunately, I don't have a spare tape drive to try in case it's a hardware fault.

Need Help
Hello! I work under FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. Everything goes OK, i can attach any external devices via PCMCIA- and USB-interfaces. But there is one problem with plugging of Apple iPod Photo via USB-interface into my notebook (no FireWare-interface is installed, so i can't connect iPod via FireWare using sbp-driver): When i'm connecting the device to USB-port during the kernel is loaded, my system doesn't create /dev/da0 for the attached umass0-storage. But if i booting the system with iPod is allready connected to USB-port, my FreeBSD successfully creating /dev/da0 for attached umass0-storage and recognize that as direct access SCSI-device. Are there any possibilies of solving of this problem? What kernel source-files can i patch to work my FreeBSD with iPod properly? When i try `camcontrol rescan all' in the case of hot plugging, the process is just going to hang up. And when i'm dettaching iPod-device at all, my system is crashing because of page fault.

graphviz with fontconfig
Hi,
I want to use graphviz with fontconfig support,
and I tried the graphics/graphviz port.
However, through the portinstall, fontconfig is not
enabled because of lack of fontconfig-conf.
So I added following lines into the Makefile of the port,
then I could get fontconfig support:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-fontconfigincludedir=${X11BASE}/include \
--with-fontconfiglibdir=${X11BASE}/lib
The questions are:
(1) Why graphviz's fontconfig support disabled by default?
Is there any problem with that on FreeBSD?
(2) Editing Makefile directly doesn't seems smarter way.
How should I do when I want to add some configure options
using portinstall?
(3) If the above lines are suitable, I want to add them
original Makefile of the port.
How should I request/propose this change?
Is it OK to contact port maintainer directly?
Thanks,

Presume this configuration: a typical small to medium sized company, we'll say 25 workstations, all running some version of *nix, for sanity we'll presume all FreeBSD, but I see no reason some couldn't be linux or osx. I could set up centralized authentication via NIS or LDAP without too much difficulty. I'm aware of the differences in password schema that must be overcome, but I've learned to deal with this. So now I can go workstation to workstation and log in, no problem. NFS can be set up equally well. No issues. In the scenario with desktop machines, this quite simply isn't a problem so long as you are okay with working on everything across the network. Something about that bugs me though...really. You wind up eating up network resources constantly. :\ Anyway, that's a tangent to the real kicker. Laptops. They don't stay put! (well duh) Okay, so the user can log in to the domain if you will when in the office, and sure, NFS will automount, but what happens when the user leaves the office? I've done some quick searching on roaming profiles (I actually googled 'linux roaming profiles' with little success). So how should one play this out? I personally am on a Powerbook, and have intentionally set up local user auth. I open and close my laptop to sleep it, leave a network, open it and next thing you know you're on a new network. Now, the fact that you generally only have 1 user per laptop makes this kind of okay, but your home directory is no longer centralized, you home directory doesn't get backed up, and now I'm dealing with a user that really isn't auth'ing against the domain, and having to alot permissions for such user, and having to manage local machine uid's and gid's. Ugh! You see the cluttered path my mind is wandering down here? Is there already a solution to this, or is it still someone one must hack for themselves? This is a hard question. Coda and AFS (Andrew's file system) both attempt to solve the home dir problem. They are both known to be a headache, and not always stable. (though some very large installations use AFS, so it must work once you sacrifice the right breed of goat or whatever it is you have to do) They are worth investigating. Consider connecting laptops via VPN, even when in the office. Only a fool would have a laptop these days without wireless networking, and wireless isn't secure by default. A VPN is just one solution, but since it solves the out of office issue (so long as you have network connectivity somewhere, which isn't a given) so it might be the best way to go. Or maybe not, like I said, consider it. I don't know how to solve the login problem.

By edit, I mean, for example, change F4 ?? to F4 MyOS. man boot0cfg I *thought* it would go without saying that I had already read man boot0cfg. Obviously, I missed the part where you edit the menu. Wanna give me a hint? uname -imr 5.4-RELEASE i386 GENERIC boot0cfg -v /dev/ad4 # flag start chs type end chs offset size 1 0x00 0: 1: 1 0x07 1023:254:63 63204796557 2 0x80 1023:255:63 0xa5 1023:254:63204796620283482990 version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182 options=packet,update,nosetdrv default_selection=F2 (Slice 2) The options for boot0cfg are: -B Install the `boot0' boot manager. This option causes MBR code to be replaced, without affecting the embedded slice table. I don't need to install it. -b boot0 Specify which `boot0' image to use. The default is /boot/boot0 which will use the video card as output, alternatively /boot/boot0sio can be used for output to the COM1 port. (Be aware that nothing will be output to the COM1 port unless the modem signals DSR and CTS are active.) I don't need to specify the boot image. -d drive Specify the drive number used by the PC BIOS in referencing the drive which contains the specified disk. Typically this will be 0x80 for the first hard drive, 0x81 for the second hard drive, and so on; however any integer between 0 and 0xff is acceptable here. I don't need to specify the drive. -f file Specify that a backup copy of the preexisting MBR should be writ- ten to file. This file is created if it does not exist, and replaced if it does. I don't need to make a backup copy. -m mask Specify slices to be enabled/disabled, where mask is an integer between 0 (no slices enabled) and 0xf (all four slices enabled). The correct slices are already enabled. The system boots fine to either OS. -o options A comma-separated string of any of the following options may be specified (with ``no'' prepended as necessary): The default options are being used, and I see no reason to change them. packet Use the disk packet (BIOS INT 0x13 extensions) interface, as opposed to the legacy (CHS) interface, when doing disk I/O. This allows booting above cylinder 1023, but requires specific BIOS support. The default is `nopacket'. setdrv Forces the drive containing the disk to be referenced using drive number definable by means of the -d option. The default is `nosetdrv'. update Allow the MBR to be updated by the boot manager. (The update Allow the MBR to be updated by the boot manager. (The MBR may be updated to flag slices as `active', and to save slice selection information.) This is the default; a `noupdate' option causes the MBR to be treated as read- only. -s slice Set the default boot selection to slice. Values between 1 and 4 refer to slices; a value of 5 refers to the option of booting from a second disk. The default slice is determined by the last boot. I see no reason to change that. -t ticks Set the timeout value to ticks. (There are approximately 18.2 ticks per second.) The timeout is set to 10, and I see no reason to change that. -v Verbose: display information about the slices defined, etc. Self-explanatory. So where is the switch that I use to edit the menu?
