 Is your scanner supported or recognized? I recall having similar 
 problems with an Epson 2480 scanner. It was not recognized as a scanner 
 but using ugen0 worked. You should also check permissions on the usb 
 devices, otherwise you have to scan as root.

Do I need to have the device for USB 2.0 perhaps??
That is the only thing that is still commented.  I'll
try that later on today.  As root, yes, I am able to 
have sane test, not as a user.  The scanner I am testing
is recognized--HP ScanJet 4100C.  But it was sold AS-IS
and may well be broken.  My friend got a *second* 4100C
for $1.00 [no, not kidding]; it works on his Windows 
box.   ((I'll gladly let him scan things if he is willing.))


 
 If the scanner is supported using the ugen device then it is a question 
 of patching a few files to get it recognized. For the Epson 2480, I 
 submitted this bug report:
 
   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=usb/86094
 
 this may give you an idea of what it's about.
 
 Cheers, Erik

I'll check your PR, thnks.  I've got some other question 
for you or the list---anyone who has successfully scanned 
books and OCR'd them into ASCII|iso_8859-1.

Which USB model scanner Just-Works? Any? None?  More to the
point, is there any scanner that works with books using 
xsane to do OCR? 

thanks for any insights,

gary

PPPoE problem for Windows 98SE

2005-12-23 Thread Felix

Dear All,

I am using Freebsd to be the NAS server and provides the PPPoE service.
Everything is working fine under windows XP, Fedora and Debian. However,
it has the connection problem for Windows 98se and Windows ME. I am
using the RASPPPoE program for windows 98 as it doesn't contains any
built in PPPoE service. The windows 98se cannot connect to the internet
and time out after a period of time.

This is the error Message I got from the /var/log/ppp.log

I just dealt with a situation that sounds similar.

I have an x86 box with a Promise SATA card with 2 drives in a RAID1
that had been running fairly well for several months. Then it suddenly
froze up (no reboot, nothing written to the console). After a power
cycle the system froze during fsck. In single user mode I was able to
get it mounted readonly without fsck, and could read some files, but
before too long it would freeze again. I pulled one of the drives and
rebooted. Same behavior. Then I pulled that drive and put the other
one back. Fsck completed and it now works fine (aside from no
mirroring going on anymore of course).

Short version: though it sure seems like one of the drives had gone
bad, the Promise card didn't notice. It may say the array is READY
you shouldn't trust it.

Its a RAID 10, or do you think there are more than 1 disks broken?

re-installing applications using ports

2005-12-23 Thread Robert Stevenson

I have begun an installation using the ports
collection but later I decided to cancel it so I could
change some install options. When I start installation
again I get the message  Found saved configuration
for .  then immediately begins compiling. I could
no longer see the installation menu where I could set
the options.

The questions is, how do I re-initialize the
installation process so I could go to the installation
menu once more and set the options?

I would use: 'make distclean' to clean out everything that you started
doing.

Then I believe you can use this:

make config

or

make config-recursive

to reconfigure the port. The latter might be the better way for you.

This looks familiar :)
You have to manually fetch the nvidia-settings-1.0 and compile it with 
gmake install. 
See http://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/1.0-8174/README/chapter-05.html for 
problems with FreeBSD and nvidia-settings.

Try rebuilding the port itself.  It seems to be out of sync with your

   Greetings,

   I recently purchased an HP Pavillion laptop (dv8000) that has
   an AMD-64 CPU,
   with the intent on running FreeBSD 6.0 (i386) as a dual boot
   option.  I have
   installed BSD numerous times on various desktops, but this
  is my first
   attempt on a laptop.

   When I boot off the CD, before the boot menu comes up, an
  error message
   comes up: elf32_lookup_symbol: corrupt symbol table.  Then the
   normal boot
   menu comes up, at which point selecting option 1 
 (normal) or option 2
   (without ACPI) causes the BTX loader to halt after
  displaying some hex
   errors.  I even tried hitting option 6, unsettng acpi_load,
   then booting,
   but the same error comes up.

   I tried 6.0 AMD-64 and didn't get as far.  Before the boot menu
   could come
   up, it continually spews what appears to be the same/similar

  I don't have a floppy drive to use, but in any case I used 
 3 different
  FreeBSD CDs, all failed.  One of the CDs I had previously used
  to install on
  a desktop, so I doubt it is a media issue.

  Try booting a 4.11 CD, I have systems which will boot 4.11 fine
  but will not boot 5.4 or later.  If an install works on 
 that, I would
  send-pr the bug.

  Also, make sure to firmware/bios update the laptop.

  Ted

 I tried 4.11 and got the hex errors even quicker, no chance 
 to interrupt
 boot sequence.  There isn't a bios update available for it either.

Assuming you've double checked the BIOS version and tried burning the
install CDs on that CDROM drive, I'd try actually installing various
OS's.  Try FreeDOS, any version of Linux, another copy of Windows.  Try
first various bootable CDs (games, diagnostics, etc.) as they are quick
tests. If all can install, then send-pr.  If you get errors on another
OS or bootable CD, then suspect the CDROM drive.  In the meantime, you
might buy yourself a USB floppy drive (handy in any case, especially
if/when you need to update the BIOS) and see if you can boot from that.
The HP support desk will help you diagnose the CDROM drive and with
booting from a USB floppy drive.

Good luck,

Re: Additional dual boot issues

Andrew Falanga [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Ok, I was following my post in usenet (didn't know that messages
posted here were propogated there, cool). Someone responded to
another chap who was having a similar problem as mine that the issue
was probably that they hadn't loaded the FreeBSD bootloader on to the
second drive. So, I did this:

# as root
dd if=/dev/ad0 of=mbr.ad0 bs=512 count=1
boot0cfg -B ad0

In my system, the IDE drive (with windows) is ad0 and the SATA drive
with FreeBSD is ad4.

Now, when I'm presented with

F1 - FreeBSD
F5 - Drive1

I press F5 and am presented with
F1 - DOS
F5 - Drive0

This differs in that when I was presented with F5 on the first menu
I'd press it and FreeBSD would boot. Now, it appears to try to boot
Windows but all that happens is I get a blank screen for a few seconds
then the machine does a soft reboot and I'm back to the bootloader
prompts after the BIOS does its thing. What could be the issue now?

Hard to say; you have used too many pronouns without making clear what
they referred to. Also, you removed the previous discussion from the
e-mail, so we can't tell what the previous problem had been, and why
you added the bootloader on the second drive (which should not be
necessary). Luckily you copied off the existing boot sector from the
disk, so you should be able to restore it through the reverse procedure.

P.S. What does 'ad' mean in ad0, ad1 ... adN?

 Maybe someone can point me to some homepage or guide but it have to be simple

If you don't have much time to learn about it, then don't bother with

 Prior to this prblem the computer worked perfectly. FreeBSD 5.4 was

 I suspect that my 2 year old son has been pressing the power button

 Do you still have the FreeBSD install CD-ROM?  You can use 
 that to boot.

 DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING, though :)

 Just make sure that the CD-ROM boots fine up to the sysinstall menu.

 If that works, then there's definitely something wrong with 
 the kernel
 or the other boot files you have on disk, and we'll see what can be
 done.

 Thanks Giorgos,

 The install cd boots just fine. So I then looked up the

 to boot from /boot/kernel.old.kernel but that doesn't work either.

 What can we do next?

You have to manually fetch the nvidia-settings-1.0 and compile it with

 Prior to this prblem the computer worked perfectly. FreeBSD
 5.4 was installed about 4 months ago, this was upgraded to
 6.0 about 2 months ago. Everything had been recompiled and I
 never had any problems, until this.

 I suspect that my 2 year old son has been pressing the power
 button repeatedly which may have caused this.

 Do you still have the FreeBSD install CD-ROM?  You can use
 that to boot.

 DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING, though :)

 Just make sure that the CD-ROM boots fine up to the sysinstall
 menu.

 If that works, then there's definitely something wrong with
 the kernel or the other boot files you have on disk, and we'll
 see what can be done.

 Thanks Giorgos,

 The install cd boots just fine. So I then looked up the manual
 and tried to boot from /boot/kernel.old.kernel but that doesn't
 work either.

 What can we do next?

You can try using the Live CD CD-ROM, to boot into the live
FreeBSD system and try to run fsck on the disk that's failing.

The live CD-ROM is disc2.iso from the release ISO images.  If you
have this CD-ROM, you can boot into sysinstall and choose:

Fixit  =  2 CDROM/DVD

You will then enter a shell that runs from the live CD-ROM, and
be able to run fsck(8) on your disks :-)

  I would use: 'make distclean' to clean out everything that you started

  Then I believe you can use this:
  
  make config
  
  or
  
  make config-recursive
  
  to reconfigure the port. The latter might be the better way for you.

See also make rmconfig.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

2005-12-23 Thread Greg Lehey


How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

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.

I:Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions 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@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  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

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda

2005-12-23 Thread Greg Lehey

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.

If I were you I'd just wait. 

Some joker at nvidia has modified nvidia-settings-1.0.tar.gz without renaming 
it. Sooner or later the port will catch up. If the  old version of 
nvidia-settings still works, why worry. If you are desperate, email the port 
maintainer.

Manually installing software is a bad idea, unless you have no alternative. 
The package database wont get updated and the existing packing list may not 
match the files you install.

Palm (Zire) and /dev/ucom0 on 6.0

2005-12-23 Thread DW


Hello all,

Has something changed in release-6.0 that affects usb communication with 
a palm/zire?


Here is what I have done from 5.2.1-5.4 to get my zire to sync with Jpilot:

1. add to my kernel:
device   ucom
device   uvisor

2. Add to /etc/defaults/devfs.rules:
[devfsrules_palm=100]
add path 'ucom*' group operator mode 0666

3. Add to /etc/rc.conf
devfs_enable=YES
devfs_system_ruleset=devfsrules_palm



I do all this on my new 6.0 machine. When I hit the sync button on zire, 
I get the expected dmesg output (detecting the palm device), but there 
is no /dev/ucom0 device in /dev. Why?


Does anybody know what I need to do or can you point me to the docs that 
will explain this to me?


Thanks a bunch,
DW

Quick, simple backup solution

2005-12-23 Thread Joe Wood

I am looking for a quick backup solution for my freebsd machine. Currently I
backup to a DDS-4 DAT drive using the following while in /:

 

tar -zpcvf /dev/sa0 .

 

I am aware of bacula, Amanda, cpio, and dump but to me tar is the ideal
method so if anyone had a simple script to automate this process I would
greatly appreciate some help in making my own.

 

Thanks again, you guys are great!!

Re: 6.0 Release kernel panic - page fault

2005-12-23 Thread Abhi

Hello,
   Thanks for your reply. Actually i experienced page faults mostly
when browsing web mostly from linux opera. So i installed firefox from
ports. It didnt cause any panic until yeserday, when it caused the
crash. And after that system panic occured while booting. Well i don't
know if a particular application is causing system panic but most
panics occured when i was using net.
Can you tell me if there are any other options for kernel
configuration file which can make the debugging mor verbose? I only
used -g option in my kernel config.
I'm attaching another crash dump which occurred last night when i was
browsing net.

Greetings,
Abhijit

AFAIK it's just a set of email accounts that are not used by real people, so 
anything that ends up in them can be fed into some kind of spam-learning 
software such as DCC, vipal's razor etc. Try googling those terms with 
spamtrap.


I believe Brightmail makes extensive use of spamtraps too.

Killall.


Seems like a bad idea, unless the service is hung. Using the proper init
script would make more sense. To simply stop the service, /etc/init.d/gdm
stop
as root would do the trick. To change things so that it does not start on
the next boot, removing the symlink in the appropriate runlevel (the
default is 2, I believe) would do the trick.

If you're concerned with managing services on boot in general then I
highly recommend a program such as sysv-rc-conf or rcconf to manage the
symbolic links for you.


Actually, I needed to stop gdm only for installing a package. But you have
given me very valuable information. I appreciate your feedback.

   /etc/init.d/gdm stop

The simplest case is to set up some email addresses on a website  
which point to a machine with no valid users, and then pay attention  
to any incoming mail and blacklist that traffic, ie, add the IP  
addresses of sending machines to a deny list like the access map, or  
feed the contents of such mail into SpamAssassin or other such tools  
which perform Bayesian text recognition.


Recently I'd written a Python program to generate such pages to try  
and pollute spam databases, which also helps against critters who  
scan websites and then launch dictionary attacks against user  
accounts via SSH and so forth.  It's here:

  You probably won't understand it but Xeoax, Oaxaca is the only

 kmplayer and gmplayer handle it perfectly. Xine handles it but
 doesn't sound quite as good (lot of tinkering that can be done there
 though).

 Totem plays it but its only tolerable if you really like chipmunks.


Even mplayer will play it if you get past the message about 
~/.mplayer/subfont.tttf.

If you can play it, the application works over the network. I have been 
known to record the news from Oaxaca, México and burn a CD for friends 
from there. It is a kind of poke in the ribs to get them on the 
Internet. It hasn't worked yet but I keep trying :).

If realplayer won't work with firefox, the relationship between firefox 
preferences  download actions and audio/x-pn-realaudio is screwed up. 
You should be able to point the firefox file action to anything that 
will play a realaudio file type. This is also true for mp3 file 
actions.

Before I did any of this, I added links to nphelix.so and nphelix.xpt 
in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins 
and /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins

I don't know which one made the difference. I tweaked until I could see 
the plugins in mozilla. I am also using the default libmap.conf for the 
version [56]-stable.

At any rate, firefox-1.5_5,1 will play *.ram files on all of my systems 
(with sound cards, speakers and either 5-stable or 6-stable) when I 
visit websites with realaudio *.ram files. The only problem is that the 
realaudio sites I listen to are folklóric sites from Columbia and 
Venezuela. This includes winamp playlists using xmms.

I haven't made mozilla work but then I don't miss the capability 
either :).

Quick, simple backup solution

2005-12-23 Thread Joe Wood

I am looking for a quick backup solution for my freebsd machine. Currently I
backup to a DDS-4 DAT drive using the following while in /:

 

tar -cf /dev/sa0 -I /root/includes -X /root/excludes .

 

I am aware of bacula, Amanda, cpio, and dump but to me tar is the ideal
method so if anyone had a simple script to automate this process I would
greatly appreciate some help in making my own.

 

Thanks again, you guys are great!!

Cannot start X


Hi:

I just installed FreeBSD 6.0 on a P4 HT, and I cannot start X. Actually I 
want to start KDE; the .xinitrc is in place, but I couldn't start it before 
I wrote it, either. As I cannot copy and paste, I do not give you my 
xorg.conf file, but I need the i810 driver for a Realtek A'67 integrated 
sound device whose chip apparently is Intel.


Upon startx, I get in the end:

(==) Using config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[drm] failed to load kernel module i915
(EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
start: not found.

I have checked the xorg.conf file and it has no mention of module i915. I 
have tried with the config files made by xorgcfg -textmode, but none of 
the options for the driver i810 works. The check: Xorg -config 
xorg.conf.new, after making Xorg -configure and changing the resolution 
to 1280x1024, works all right, though.


I would appreciate if you could give me a hint of what to do. I'll be happy 
to provide any additional information.

Re: default password of toor

2005-12-23 Thread Jerry McAllister

 
 what is the default password of toor cause i have forgotton my roots 
 password so any one could help me in recovering ?

There is no default password for the toor account.
It is just an account with another name that has root's UID (0).
You can create one for yourself with any name you want and just
give it a UID of 0.

But, if you have forgotten your root password, you will have to
do a single user boot (boot -s), fsck and remount / and then
set a password for root (or toor or your personal root account).

NOTE:  you will have to give toor a real shell if you want to use it for 
   a login.   You will need to have a root login or be in single user 
   mode for doing that.   Use vipw(8) to do that.

Re: SPAM Trap

2005-12-23 Thread Louis LeBlanc

On 12/23/05 12:12 PM, Gerard Seibert sat at the `puter and typed:
 I have been reading about SPAM Traps. Exactly what is a SPAM Trap? I 
 noticed that it seems to be used in conjunction with blacklisting 
 organizations.
 
 How would one go about setting up one?

Ahh, spam.  A subject near and dear to my heart.  Well, ok, not really,
but certainly one I've spent a lot of time trying to minimize.

I use a honeypot setup to pipe obvious spam through the spamassassin
bayes learner.  Of course, I have broad access to aliases, and I can
have mail delivered to any folder I like using the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] extension.  So, I alias some bogus address,
like [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my folder (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]),
then have procmail intercept it and pipe it directly through
spamassassin to be learned and reported as spam.  Then procmail
ditches it to /dev/null.  I never see the trap, and only those
harvesting addresses on newsgroups are going to send to the address.

Mind you, I am very careful about posting with these.  I have a
specific sig file that describes in detail what will happen to any
message sent to the address.  Since I use mutt to do this, all return
paths lead to the honeypot.  These addresses are only seeded in
postings to newsgroups, but that is more than effective enough.  Pick
any newsgroup, but for best results, focus on those you would never
want your children to frequent.  Make sure your posting does NOT have
any real address at all.  Mutt is best, since you can use the
'set from=[EMAIL PROTECTED]' config, which will ensure all return
path headers use it, and you can explicitly set the From and Reply-To
headers.  That way, the only address harvested is the one you want
harvested.

In my procmail rc file, I catch anything going to the trap folder, log
a '.' to a ~/.honeypot_hits file so I can tell how many hits have
resulted (1163 in the last 3 months, with the last one coming at 8:10
this morning - might be worth reseeding soon).  It's also boosted my
SA bayes accuracy to near perfection - I don't get so much spam at my
real address, but what I do get is sorted perfectly over the last 2
years - meaning not one single false positive or false negative in at
least 6 months.

The only real magic, once you've got the aliases down is the procmail
recipe:

##
:0
* FOLDER ?? ^^trap^^
{
  VERBOSE=off
  # let's count this message:
  LOGFILE=$HOME/.honeypot_hits
  LOG=.
  LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail_log
  # uncomment the next line if you log verbose messages
  # VERBOSE=on

  # Report spam.
  # The lock prevents windfalls from knocking the system over
  :0c:honeypot.lock
  | nice -n 20 /usr/local/bin/spamassassin -r

  # Now, teach the bayes db what spam is
  :0:salearn.lock
  | nice -n 20 /usr/local/bin/sa-learn --spam --no-rebuild

  # Now, file it appropriately
  :0
  /dev/null
}
##

You may, of course, have to find another way to do this of you don't
have aliasing capabilities, or if you don't have the plussed folder
extension available.  In the latter case, you can scan the routing
headers to see what address the message is for - not quite as easy,
but it can be done.

I also have procmail separate spam based on whether it goes over the
autolearn threshold.  If it's autolearned, it goes into the
spam_autolearn folder, and I never bother to look at it.  It is
already automagically trained into the bayes db.  Anything tagged as
spam, but not over that threshold, is put into the spam folder, and
requires a verification.  I simply use mutt or squirrelmail to mark it
as read - if it really is spam, or move it back to the right folder.

Every night, mail in the spam folder that is marked as read is piped
through the learner to teach bayes to count it as spam, and then
backed up into a spam archive folder - named based on the month (like
spam-01-05) - and saved there for 12 months.  After 12 months, this
folder will be removed altogether.  I figure that's long enough to be
sure nobody has sent me anything important.  I do check these from
time to time though, when I'm bored.  So far, 100.00% perfection.

I started using the honeypot way back when I was using Cyrus imapd (3
years ago?), and my false negatives went from about 30/day (out of
around 200 spams) to about 1 every week or so within a month.

About a year ago, I wrote the perl script that manages, archives, and
deletes old spam.  Since then, spam tends to take a *lot* less of my
own time.  So I count all the up front effort as time very well spent.
Currently, I'm only getting around 400 spams/month (not counting
honeypot hits) which is back up from under 100, back when I turned off
one of my domains that had been getting around 2000/month.  That
script has been untouched since February and working well.

I've posted the script on the list I think, but if you're interested,
I'll send it to you offlist (unless I get enough people requesting it
to the list).

 connections
 
 
 All upstream ISPs are
 connected to everyone on the internet, so it
 doesn't matter which you send your packets to
 (the entire point of a connectionless
 network.
 They both can forward your traffic to wherever
 its going.
 
 They aren't going to forward your traffic
 unless
 it's sourced by an IP number they assign.  To
 do otherwise means they would permit you to
 spoof IP
 numbers.  And while it's possible some very
 small
 ISP's run by idiots that don't know any better
 might
 still permit this, their feeds certainly will
 not.

Yes they will. Routers route based on dest
address only. Are you somehow suggesting that an
ISP can't be dual homed and use only one link if
one goes down, since some of the addresses sent
up the remaining pipe wouldn't have source
addresses assigned by that upstream provider? You
are beyond clueless, Ted. Why do you keep opening
your mouth?

 
 For efficiencies sake, you may argue
 that sending to the ISP that sent you the
 traffic
 will be a better path, but if one of your
 pipes
 is saturated and the other running at 20% 
 
 letsseenow, these are full duplex 'pipes', can
 we have some direction this saturation is
 taking
 place in?  I mean, since you are at least
 trying to
 make a senseless explanation sound right, you
 might
 as well try a bit harder.

Its not senseless, you just don't understand how
the internet works, apparently. I do this for a
living, and you just yap.

If you were able to send back the data on the
pipe it arrived on then you would have uneven
use of the pipes. So one could be saturation
the the other highly unused. Balancing the
outgoing data would reduce the latency that
occurs when a pipe is saturated. Its hard to
explain calculus to some who can't add or
subtract ted, so you should figure out how
routing works before you try something this
complicated.

 
 then
 its likely more efficient to keep your pipes
 filled and send to either isp. You can
 achieve
 this with per-packet load-balancing with
 ciscos,
 
 per packet load balancing is for parallel links
 between 2 endpoints.  Not three, as in you,
 your first ISP, and your second ISP.

Wrong again, Ted. Usually thats how it is used to
gain extra throughput, but thats not the only
thing that it can be used for. Since the internet
is connectionless (back to school for you Ted),
per packet balancing can utilize 2 outgoing pipes
to different ISPs as well. Obviously since
failover on dual-homed network works, you can
send your packets to any ISP you want. Routers
route based on destination address, as anyone who
knows how routers work knows. You can even use
per packet load balancing on 2 lines to the same
ISP when the other end doesn't support it; using
2 pipes in one direction and only one in the
other. You can be innovative when you actually
understand how things work, Ted.

 
 Surprising you would drag up a Ciscoism as
 your such a big fan of BSD-based routers.
 
 or bit-balancing with a product like ETs for
 FreeBSD. Unless your 2 isps are connected
 substantially differently (say if one is in
 Europe and one in the US),  you'll do better
 keeping your pipes balanced, as YOU are the
 bottleneck, not the upstream, assuming you
 have
 quality upstream providers.
 
 
 Sometimes you run into someone who is so
 ignorant
 of the subject of which he is trying to speak,
  - routing in this case - that you can't even
 argue with the person.  Kind of like trying to
 explain the concept of the fossil record to a
 creationist.  This is one of these times.

Yes Ted. People run into you, the ultimate
ignoramous. I have 3000 ISP customers. This is
not just theory; its being done. You are wrong
about every single thing you said in this thread.

  And if you think your going to run BGP I'll
 shoot that full

 I strongly disagree.  There are many reasons
 for this.  Two of which are
 increased throughoutput and redundancy.
 
 If you have read this thread you will have
 already seen that you cannot
 get increased throughput this way.
 
 As I asked before, explain how a DSL line to
 SpiritOne running at
 1MBit/sec
 and a Comcast cable connection running at
 1MBit/sec will allow you to
 download the FreeBSD release iso file at
 2MBit/sec.  This will be
 interesting.
 
 If you can't do it, which I will tell you that
 you can't, you have not
 increased throughput.
 
 And as for redundancy, I already explained that
 while this setup
 increases redundancy, the redundancy must be
 manually done -
 monitored by a human, and switched over when
 needed - or it will
 not react to the most common redundancy
 problems.
 
  The primary problem is that you
 need to make sure outgoing data for a
 connection is using the same line
 as the incoming connection.
 
 No, not at all.  The primary problem is that
 the incoming data that is
 in response to the outgoing connection will
 come in on the same
 line that the outgoing connection used.
 
 If the majority to all connections are
 outgoing and both lines use NAT and have
 unique IP addresses, it's
 simpler to setup.
 If you have incoming connections as well,
 either only
 one of the two lines will be used or you'll
 need BGP
 
 Explain how to run BGP with a DSL line to
 Spirit One and a cable
 line to Comcast.
 
 or some kind of
 static route setup by the two ISPs.
 
 Rubbish.  Explain how this would work.  It
 won't.
 
 
 I have done this with a Linux router and using
 Comcast Cable and
 SpiritOne DSL.  We had all incoming
 connections use DSL and outgoing
 connections use either line.
 
 You used the dual-NAT package that was detailed
 earlier which is the
 only one that can do that - is specific to
 Linux - and as I explained
 before,
 also will not permit you to take a 1MB DSL line
 from one provider and
 a 1MB cable line from the cable company and
 download a freebsd iso at
 2MB.  Thus it is not load-balancing because it
 does not actually use both
 lines for a connection.

Ted, you have to think outside the box. Life is
more than one connection. While you can't
increase the throughput of a single connection,
you can increase the throughput of your network,
which is usually the point. Throughput in this
context is capacity. Throughput is not only
what you can get on a download; its the sum
total of all of your activites.

You can upload at 2Mb/s on one connection if
you balance your outbound traffic, but not
download, because while you can control where
outgoing packets are sent,  you can't control
over which pipe incoming traffic arrives.

Believe me, ted. It works. Its not theory. Its
being done. For example a hosting ISP saturates
its pipes outgoing and has very little traffic
incoming. They can load balance in the outgoing
only direction and have all of their incoming
traffic on a single pipe and double the capacity
of their network. Since they never exceed the
incoming bandwidth of a single pipe there is no
need to balance it.

Quoted http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/867593:
Attackers may abuse HTTP TRACE functionality to gain access to
information in HTTP headers such as cookies and authentication data.
In the presence of other cross-domain vulnerabilities in web browsers,
sensitive header information could be read from any domains that
support the HTTP TRACE method.

Most likely it wont, but it is hard to judge from your information.
I imagine you are running FreeBSD 4.10 but this is an httpserver
issue so you might want to note which httpserver you are using.

As I understand it: They wont compromise a server using this. It
is a client side issue. If you have customers using badly written
httpclients however, they might be impersonated using this cross-site
scripting combined with HTTP TRACE. So to protect these customers
you might want to disable HTTP TRACE.

You can test wether you server supports TRACE by:
mph% telnet www.apache.org 80
TRACE / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.apache.org
(blank)

Replace www.apache.org with your own server name. If first line in
the response is 400 it doesn't.

For FreeBSD advisories subscribe to the security-advisories mailing
list. And follow the advisories for you software (e.g. apache).

What do I need to fix to be able to use a RAM-backed filesystem?


From mdconfig(8):

Select the type of the memory disk.

malloc   Storage for this type of memory disk is allocated with
 malloc(9).  This limits the size to the malloc bucket
 limit in the kernel.  If the -o reserve option is not
 set, creating and filling a large malloc-backed memory
 disk is a very easy way to panic a system.



It allocates kernel address space which is quite scarce on 32-bit
platforms.  I'm not sure if it allocated physical memory.  Given the
panicking behavior, I suspect that is deferred.


Yes, that's why -o reserve is recommended to allocate it all up-front.


I believe this is mostly accurate.  If you're actually out of memory,
there's a good chance you're going to be swapping anyway so this might
or might not actually cost you anything.  If you have frequent, randomly
distributed access to the file system it's likely to be expensive.  On
the other hand, if there are hot spots, the swapping may be beneficial
because it will allow other processes to proceed more efficiently.


Also in the case when you are not swapping, swap-backed md is actually 
faster than malloc backed.


Really you need to make sure that whatever you use your system for, you 
have enough RAM that you never need to swap.  Otherwise you're throwing 
away most of your system's performance for no good reason.

I believe this is due to the fact that ICMP is the ICMP protocol and not UDP

Hm, this is strange. I have two hp files in sane.d, both sseem

Would it make sense to create an hp4100.conf with your epson line
usb /dev/uscanner0 as a first line?


It looks like all HP scanners other than the HP5400 are defined in 
hp.conf, so use that one.



I am missing /dev/uscanner0.  How is this /dev created?


When the kernel detects the USB scanner, it should create 
/dev/uscanner0.  Back in 5.4 or so, my Thinkpad would not detect the 
scanner unless I hot-plugged the USB cable (leaving the scanner 
connected and just powering it on did not work).  On a desktop system, 
just turning on the scanner with the USB cable works.


All of this may have changed with 6.0, to which you should upgrade 
unless you have a very compelling reason to stick with the obsolete 5.3.

Only in the unlikely event that it's a USB 2 scanner.  But I thought you

That is the only thing that is still commented.  I'll

But it was sold AS-IS and may well be broken.  My friend got a
