Hi Ted, While I don't totally discount that possibility, I really don't think that's the case. I told you that you wouldn't believe me. We have over 500 servers, most of them running FreeBSD, and we've seen this happen in multiple cases on different hardware. Except all of them gigabit cards, right? So much for different hardware When it's linux, exact same hardware, exact same cables, this doesn't happen. It's an intel card gbit card, using the em driver. They're uplinked to Cisco 2948-getx switches, which are uplinked to 65xx's, which then go to 12xxx borders. There aren't any collision errors on the port at all: 24 totalCollisionCount= 0 25 lateCollisionCount = 0 26 singleCollisionFrames = 0 27 multipleCollisionFrames= 0 28 excessiveCollisionFrames = 0 and no real errors to speak of, period. The port is auto, since it needs to be to get gbit. All of the non-gbit servers we have are forced 100/full, all cisco switches, all intel 100/pro (fxp) drivers, they all show this same problem. Well right there you are doing things wrong. You should always set ethernet cards to auto. The only time you ever force 100/full or force anything, speed/duplex, is when your plugged into a hub that does NOT autoswitch. There's very few of them around that are 100base T, but there are some, and there's a lot more 10baseT stuff that wasn't autoswitching. Any halfway decent 100baseT hub will support nway autonegotiation and when you hard-code post speeds you will cause drops and speed loss. But, please don't take my word for it since you seem to like disbelieving me, just try it out yourself. Go to your fxp servers, login to your switches, set the switch port to the server to autonegotiation, on the server remove all the media options in /etc/rc.conf, shut down the server (you must power it down for the ports to switch into autonegotiation) and bring it up and you will see both sides negotiate to 100base T full, and a lot of your problems in throughput will disappear. Both the switch and the servermust be set to autonegotiation. If they don't autonegotiate to 100baseTfull, then you have a cable problem, simple as that. I've been doing ethernet since the late 80's and doing it professionally for a decade, and I've seen and use more different types of ethernet in my life than you will ever see in the rest of your career. The idea that your supposed to override the autonegotiation and hard code stuff originated from network admins who plugged early 100baseT stuff together then couldn't figure out why it didn't autonegotiate to 100baseT full. What they didn't realze is that the cabling they were using - CAT-3 mostly, or CAT-5 that had been incorrectly terminated with the wrong connectors, or wrong plugs, or wrong wiring pattern, or bad crimps because they were using stranded plugs on solid core wire, or some other such thing, what the real culprit, and the autonegotiation chips were in fact detecting the problem and trying to protect the network. Unfortunately, 90% of network admins out there don't know the first thing about layer-1, they assume the wiring contractors handle all that. The wiring contractors by contrast are mostly minimum-wage goobers who's heads are filled with a lot of rediculous nonsense about how Ethernet really works. If the server is a 4.9 server, I can get ~400KB/s. If it's 6.1, ~300KB/s. Linux 2.6, ~650KB/s, which is about what I'd expect given the latency and the default settings. All on the same hardware, same switches, same cables. The Linux device drivers are simply different than the FreeBSD drivers. I don't know how much more I can tell you this over and over. The em driver has got some problems, granted. But, this has absolutely nothing to do with the FreeBSD version or the TCP/IP stack. Until you do what I told you to do and properly setup and test under fxp0, I am just not going to waste my time on this anymore. I will leave you with a printout of a test run on a new mailserver I'm building up right now, in fact, using an fxp card, to prove it's a not a stack problem.

Re: Non English Spam
- Original Message - From: Erik Norgaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Beech Rintoul [EMAIL PROTECTED]; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 2:22 AM Subject: Re: Non English Spam Also this means that later filtering on the first Received field is double work: You already accepted the mail based on that information. In short: Writing header filtering rules for the Received field is simply waste of time and proof of inefficiency. I agree with this but unfortunately the real world often screws this up. For example, SpamCop is one of the most effective blacklists on the Internet because of it's high user participation. Unfortunately, it repeatedly blocks yahoomail, craigslist, and ebay because spammers hate it and try to stuff it up so as to get people to stop using it. As a result, you cannot use Spamcop to reject at the HELO. Instead you have to post-filter the mail and do your spamcop lookups, so you can exempt domains like ebay that are legitimate. Just as Sendmail, Postfix is not designed for spam filtering. Postfix provides simple filtering mechanisms, keeping it simple postfix provides an effective and reliable MTA that doesn't suffer the track record of security bugs Sendmail does. When the native filters does not suffice you can combine with any number of policy services: External filtering mechanisms such as postgrey, spam assassin etc. This design is clean, reliable and easy to manage. Same for Sendmail, you can use milters to add all this stuff in. Or you can do it in the local delivery agent. OP requested a way to filter away the spam in foreign character sets because for some reason these were not caught by Spam Assassin or procmail. I gave a solution that solves that problem, and I mentioned the problem of false negatives for this list. Rather than get pissed, do try to offer an alternative solution to a real problem. There really is no solution. Fundamentally, well written spam is not distinguishable from non-spam by a computer. What has saved our asses so far is that there's not a spammer alive who has been able to resist the temptation to use bold, colors, blinking test, hot phrases, and other attention-getting devices in their spams. Since you can program a computer to look for the attention getting stuff, what has happened is a little social engineering. Most people today have abandonded use of attention-getting devices in their e-mails because when they use HTMLized text and such, their mails tend to get blocked as spam by everyone and their dog. So, the spam content filters can still distinguish spam from non-spam by looking for these differences. But it is only a matter of time before the spammers all wake up and smell the coffee, and start using standard ASCII pure text for their spams, and then all these charset filters your loving will go gurgling down the drain. Granted that might make their spams less effective so they might get less respondents. Frankly, I think there is no technical solution, I think there are only political solutions. We've already made spam illegal in the US, and the CAN-SPAM act defines the advertised party in the spams also as a spammer, in addition to the actual spammer sending the stuff. It would be childs play for the FBI to work with the major ISP's to create thousands of dummy e-mail addresses and use these to capture spam runs. Then they just go arrest the people in the company that is being advertised and hang a few of them high. There's no need to even go after the actual spammers themselves. When this happens enough times, the supply of companies that are willing to pay spammers to send spam will dry up, and the spammers will go find some other criminal activity to engage in. But, the FBI isn't doing this because many of the companies that are hiring spammers have lots of money, and that gives them lots of political power. So, the will to curb spam just isn' t there even though money earned by spammers is undoubtedly going into organized crime, feeding terror cells, and other more nasty stuff. I asked politely if there were any consensus or best practices etc. on this issue. You have the regular mail on how to get the best results there are recommendations on how to use this list, they are not enforced but only serve as guidelines. I don't try to force people to use particular character sets, I merely ask whether such recommendation exist for the best results when using the list, in which case filtering on charsets may be the least imperfect solution (until you share your perfect filter, that is). Your continuing to try to muddy the issue by inferring that personal filters are the same as requirements to post. You snipped all my explanation of what the differences are and responded with a snotty request for a perfect filter, when I never said I ever had one.

POP before SMTP with TCPSERVER
Hi all... I'm having problems with inet crapping out on the qmail-smtp process, so I've started using tcpserver to launch qmail-smtpd However, I'm getting complaints from people that the POP before SMTP authentication patch isn't working when I do this... Here is what I'm launching: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 200 -v -u 1009 -g 1003 0 smtp /var/shc/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 1 | /var/shc/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 Anything wrong with this, or do I need to do something else so that the POP before SMTP authentication works correctly?

Anyway, a make restart and other reinitializations didn't seem to work, so my next guess is that I didn't restart my maps, databases correctly. Maps are not 'restarted'. They are parsed to *.db files. What does your `/etc/mail/HOSTNAME.mc' file contain? What do the map files referenced by it contain? How did you perform the `reinitializations' mentioned above? If I ever have enough courage to test these theories in the next 95 years, I'll know. Meanwhile, I've got to beg help from some REAL system admins here.

kern.maxfiles exceeded soon after KDE or Gnome started

conary vs ports
Does anyone have experience with the differences between conary and ports? Its my understanding the rpath folks have rethought package management at a very high level and have something more to offer than gentoo's portage (which some feel is the closest thing in usability to FreeBSD's ports). Does anyone have a hands-on perspective of this? I don't mean that ports already has 16,000+ ready to go ports and conary has much fewer. Nor am I looking for the usual FreeBSD vs Linux perspective.

Samba file server with ActiveDirectory accounts... pw usershow not working

Unfortunately, here is what's happened: % jarjarbinks:/1msdos/qemu:104# qemu -cdrom /mnt/msdos/isos/debian-31r3-i386-netinst.iso -hda debian.img -m 64 -boot d -nographic -net user % (qemu) (Here, I type C-a h.) % C-a hprint this help % C-a xexit emulator % C-a ssave disk data back to file (if -snapshot) % C-a bsend break (magic sysrq) % C-a ttoggle console timestamps % C-a cswitch between console and monitor % C-a C-a send C-a (Here I type C-a c.) % (qemu) % (qemu) c % (qemu) (Here I type C-a c again, in order to switch to console.) % (qemu) From here, qemu is stalled. I can't even go back to monitor mode. I'm solely able to kill qemu from another terminal, in which case my shell gets all the keystrokes in a burst. Does any experience the same problem ? If so, did you find a solution or workaround ? Or maybe is it running flawlessly ? Thank you.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
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. = Contents: 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
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. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have probably found that anything you try errors because the shell
thinks -e is a switch. The easiest way is to find the files inode number
and delete the file using that.
director# ls -i

107764 .profile 107765 .shrc

107763 .rhosts
then use find to remove the file.
director# find . -inum 107763 -exec rm -i {} \;
remove ./.rhosts? y
This works for all manner of funky file names. I had done that many
times before, generally from not reading man pages and passing switches
to programs that didn't expect it, or by piping commands incorrectly.

Re: monitoring lan-wan
On 10/20/06, Zbigniew Szalbot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Is there anything you would *recommend* re monitoring internet usage (LAN to WAN), something that is available in ports? This would have to be something that would allow me to tie it with a router as my FBSD is not a gateway. This function is handled by our Dlink DFL router. Many thanks in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot That really depends on the functionality of your router (and I'm not familiar with it, so can't comment on it), the configuration of your internal network and what you mean by 'monitoring internet usage'.. Do you only need to show aggregate traffic flow, to monitor total usage over time? If so, and if the router is SNMP-capable, then cacti (or mrtg, but it's not my preference) or some other some other utility that can get and graph SNMP stats will do what you want. If you wish to characterize the traffic to and from the Internet by protocol and/or user, then you'll have to do something more than simply using SNMP to monitor throughput on the router. In that case, you'll need to have your FreeBSD box actually parse the traffic, or get a netflow from the router (assuming that it can do that.) and ntop is a good start for the software you want, or perhaps etherape. Assuming that netflow isn't available from the router (and I think that's a fairly safe bet) the trick will be making sure that your FreeBSD box will see the traffic, and for that you'll need something like one of the following setups: 1) Put the router and your box on a dumb hub (not a switch) so that all of the traffic going to the router is visible to your box or 2) Have the router (again, assuming it's a multiport router, and capable of this, which is quite doubtful) mirror the traffic to a port to which your box is attached, or 3) Install two NICs in your box and have your router and your box attached to a switch that can mirror all of the traffic to the router - the first NIC will only receive traffic from the switch, the second NIC will have an IP address and be available for monitoring the box, including output from ntop or etherape. or 4) More tricky still, install two NICs in your box and have it act as a transparent bridge between your network and your router. I'm not familiar with this kind of setup, though I like the idea, and will be playing with it in my copious free time. :) or 5) Get a network tap cable, which is essentially a three-headed patch cable that provides receive-only wires for the third head, and that receive-only head is put into a second NIC on your box.

I guess my question wasn't phrased exact enough... The long of it is that I have a low end Cisco router sitting at a location behind a consumer grade broadband router, connected to a satellite connection. The satellite does not allow direct TCP inbound connections, so anything I use has to be OpenVPN. I have a Soekris box with FreeBSD 5.5 running OpenVPN via UDP to a server in the datacenter, and it works fine and good. The issue is I want to set up another tunnel (The cisco is actually a 2509, 8 port serial. This new tunnel is for when the Soekris is down to be able to administer it via the serial port). So I'm looking for an application where if you want to think in reverse... The FreeBSD box needs to be able to get to the Cisco through a NAT (And only via UDP).

I'll let Chuck write what he had in mind :) Is there any way of testing this after I have set up my table entries? In other words, how do I re-initialize things without having to (ugh) *reboot*. If you modify `mailertable' in `/etc/mail', you should be able to run: # cd /etc/mail # make mailertable.db to update it. A reboot is not necessary for Sendmail changes. For unknown reasons, mail started to be refused from my mailserver just as I was heading out this afternoon. It may have been a bad DHCP lease, ?? It's hard to guess without seeing the log file entries for the rejected messages. Can you _please_ show us the logs, instead of describing the results in broad terms? See appeneded. Anyway, a make restart and other reinitializations didn't seem to work, so my next guess is that I didn't restart my maps, databases correctly. Maps are not 'restarted'. They are parsed to *.db files. This is what I'd thought. I have a script that adds to access, then calls a script to create access.db. Another script does both access and virtusertable. No other database or map files are touched. What does your `/etc/mail/HOSTNAME.mc' file contain? What do the map files referenced by it contain? I'm surprised that these files are referenced:: FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -TTMPF /etc/mail/access') FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable') FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') How did you perform the `reinitializations' mentioned above? Well, for years I have kill -9'd sendmail and then restarted it. This by a csh alias. From the /etc/mail/Makefile, it looks like I can do the same thing more correctly by Makefile. If I ever have enough courage to test these theories in the next 95 years, I'll know. Meanwhile, I've got to beg help from some REAL system admins here.

Problems booting on a Compaq DL360 (P21 version)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I recently got two of these old machines used. One installed and runs fine, but the other... I've been working on it for three days now and I can't get it to boot. I can install just fine from the CD (using 6.1-R), but upon reboot it goes past the RAID init and gets to a blank screen with only _ in the top-left corner, beeps twice, and sits there. The good machine does beeps also, but continues booting. This one sits there for a few minutes and then gives me a non-system disk error; it doesn't seem to find anything to boot from. I've tried resetting the dip switch for configuration and doing the system erase and using the SmartStart CD to initialize it before installing. It wants to know which OS when I do this and I've tried Linux, Windows 2000 Server and Other, and none of them work... I haven't gone through all the (dozens of) options. The RAID array seems to work, no disk problems writing during install and nothing reported in the SmartStart utility. I've read threads about ACPI problems with 6.0 but I don't think I'm even getting that far. :( I tried taking the two disks from the working machine and putting them into the non-working one and it didn't work, I still get the _ screen and it doesn't move on from there. I'm installing simply by using A for auto-slices and A for auto-filesystems and installing the standard MBR. Has anyone seen this or successfully installed on a DL360 (g1 I think, P21 BIOS)? If so, is there a certain setting, OS or otherwise, that I might need to do?

You have probably found that anything you try errors because the shell

and delete the file using that.

107764 .profile 107765 .shrc

.rhosts
then use find to remove the file.
director# find . -inum 107763 -exec rm -i {} \;
remove ./.rhosts? y
This works for all manner of funky file names. I had done that many
times before, generally from not reading man pages and passing switches
to programs that didn't expect it, or by piping commands incorrectly.

Re: Non English Spam
Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Also this means that later filtering on the first Received field is double work: You already accepted the mail based on that information. In short: Writing header filtering rules for the Received field is simply waste of time and proof of inefficiency. I agree with this but unfortunately the real world often screws this up. For example, SpamCop is one of the most effective blacklists on the Internet because of it's high user participation. Unfortunately, it repeatedly blocks yahoomail, craigslist, and ebay because spammers hate it and try to stuff it up so as to get people to stop using it. You can't check the white list before using RBL in Sendmail? Well, you can with postfix, you can even control if checks should be done when the entire envelope is received or when the connection is established. Maybe postfix isn't that crappy after all :) Of course, maintaining white lists is only practically possible for a limited number of hosts. OP requested a way to filter away the spam in foreign character sets because for some reason these were not caught by Spam Assassin or procmail. I gave a solution that solves that problem, and I mentioned the problem of false negatives for this list. Rather than get pissed, do try to offer an alternative solution to a real problem. There really is no solution. Fundamentally, well written spam is not distinguishable from non-spam by a computer. What has saved our asses so far is that there's not a spammer alive who has been able to resist the temptation to use bold, colors, blinking test, hot phrases, and other attention-getting devices in their spams. Since you can program a computer to look for the attention getting stuff, what has happened is a little social engineering. True - or the reverse, that novice users will send their birthday invitation with flags and colors etc so you can't naively reject html mail. Frankly, I think there is no technical solution, I think there are only political solutions. We've already made spam illegal in the US, and the CAN-SPAM act defines the advertised party in the spams also as a spammer, in addition to the actual spammer sending the stuff. Actually, I do think there is a technical solution, but the problem is that the cost of implementation is at the senders end, and the cost of spam is at recipients end. The political action needed is to move the cost onto the senders end - I'm not talking about adding a cost for sending individual mails but moving liability: You are responsible for what you send. Basically, it's like for cars: You have an insurance for your car, even if a thief steals it your insurance covers accidents that the car may be involved in. Once liability moves to the source, anyone upstream in the the mail delivery will make sure that they can pass on liability to someone further up, and if they can't, they will implement the controls to limit illicit mailing to reduce the risk. I asked politely if there were any consensus or best practices etc. on this issue. You have the regular mail on how to get the best results there are recommendations on how to use this list, they are not enforced but only serve as guidelines. I don't try to force people to use particular character sets, I merely ask whether such recommendation exist for the best results when using the list, in which case filtering on charsets may be the least imperfect solution (until you share your perfect filter, that is). Your continuing to try to muddy the issue by inferring that personal filters are the same as requirements to post. No, my idea is that if there is consensus that subscribers should post in say ASCII for the best results, then one could more reasonably filter other character sets because these are unlikely to occur. And, since foreign character sets are associated with language, other subscribers sharing language could take care of that off list - just as if someone writes in a foreign language. You snipped all my explanation of what the differences are and responded with a snotty request for a perfect filter, when I never said I ever had one. I snipped, not to be rude, but because I felt you were getting emotional. As I already stated, what people do on their own mailserver is their business. If they want to filter Asian charsets, then fine. Go ahead. But, telling people they can't use them when posting to the list is crossing the line. Certainly a best results when using the list document is a good thing. But, that is a recommendation, not a requirement. The response that got me pissed was speculating that the list server should filter on Asian charsets, and we should order, not recommend, to people that they don't use Asian charsets. I'm glad to see your backwatering from that. I never intended to imply that the FreeBSD list server should filter messages more than is done now.

I have two external interfaces one of which is an ADSL interface tun0 and obtains IP address dynamically and the other is a (xl1) leased line which has a static global IP address, lets say 212.64.212.180. Both interfaces access internet without any problem. Recently I've configured qmail on this system to send out email thru xl1 interface and use ADSL only for web traffic. It used to work quite good for a while but recently I noticed TCP packets have been going out from tun0 and responses coming in thru xl1. tun0 and ADSL is the default gateway. But the TCP packets are bound to 212.64.212.180 IP address which should send them out thru xl1. But it doesn't. No, you are wrong. Packet will be forwarded to default gateway through the interface which is on same network with it. You need some kind of policy routing. I'm not very familiar with ipf but with pf you can do: pass out on $ext_if0 route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) inet from $ext_if1 to any pass out on $ext_if1 route-to ($ext_if0 $ext_gw0) inet from $ext_if0 to any or with ipfw you can use fwd rule action. For the test, I did these tcpdump -nt -i xl1 tcp telnet -s 212.64.212.180 smtp.tnet.com 25 connection establishes but I can see only the TCP response packets coming from xl1, like the following x.y.z.t 212.64.212.180 x.y.z.t 212.64.212.180 All from external IPs to my xl1 int.

I have the data on my hard drive, but I can't seem to figure out the magical incantation to move it over to the Palm. It is in JPilot, but I haven't quite gotten that to work smoothly. Be extremely careful with this. I was in the exact same situation and managed to wipe out my local Palm data doing a restore. My phone (actually all of the Palm devices I've owned) tends to crash pretty frequently and require hard resets, which wipes out the username and all stored data. In order for J-Pilot to sync with the device, it's going to want the usernames to match between the two. Do _not_ use the File-Restore_Handheld command in J-Pilot to reset the username on the phone. I had an older version of J-Pilot installed and when I did this (only selecting to restore Preferences) and watched as my local data was replaced, not merged, with the data from the phone. Instead, use File-Install_User. I'd recommend that you sync devices daily and also keep backups of the Palm files on your computer. Also, keeping hardcopy backups is a good idea. I know I shouldn't be running the apps as root, but I haven't bothered to configure /etc/devd.conf and /etc/devfs.rules on my laptop. I've played with this a bit and it is a little weird.

Re: Gateway problem
On Friday 20 October 2006 21:42, Brian Hawk wrote: I'm having a strange situation for quite sometime. I have two external interfaces one of which is an ADSL interface tun0 and obtains IP address dynamically and the other is a (xl1) leased line which has a static global IP address, lets say 212.64.212.180. Both interfaces access internet without any problem. Recently I've configured qmail on this system to send out email thru xl1 interface and use ADSL only for web traffic. It used to work quite good for a while but recently I noticed TCP packets have been going out from tun0 and responses coming in thru xl1. tun0 and ADSL is the default gateway. But the TCP packets are bound to 212.64.212.180 IP address which should send them out thru xl1. But it doesn't. No, you are wrong. Packet will be forwarded to default gateway through the interface which is on same network with it. You need some kind of policy routing. I'm not very familiar with ipf but with pf you can do: Unfortunately it doesn't go thru the interface which has Src IP address same as with it. But goes thru the default gateway. But since the Src IP address in the IP packet is 212.64.212.180, all TCP replies come from the right interface (xl1) which makes sense because the devices on the internet wouldn't make the same mistake. pass out on $ext_if0 route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) inet from $ext_if1 to any pass out on $ext_if1 route-to ($ext_if0 $ext_gw0) inet from $ext_if0 to any or with ipfw you can use fwd rule action. a fwd cannot solve my problem because it likes to forward packets to a certain IP addr or an IP:port, which is not what I want. I just need to forward (or rather route) them thru an interface. Again, I still think this is what FreeBSD should really be doing for packets which have interface's IP as Src IP addr in the IP header. For the test, I did these tcpdump -nt -i xl1 tcp telnet -s 212.64.212.180 smtp.tnet.com 25 connection establishes but I can see only the TCP response packets coming from xl1, like the following x.y.z.t 212.64.212.180 x.y.z.t 212.64.212.180 All from external IPs to my xl1 int. No packets going out from xl1 they all go thru default gateway even if TCP connections are bound to xl1's IP address. I'd like to know if anybody knows why this happened and I can I turn things back the way they were. Any help would be much appreciated.

Wireless setup FreeBSD-6.1 and fwe0
Hi! I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 which is configured to dual boot into Windows XP-Pro. I just got this laptop today, but I've been using Freebsd since 3.4, or earlier. When I boot into Windows I am able to access my Linksys wireless router. There is another secured wireless network nearby, and that may make a difference if you read between the lines at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html My problem is that I can't get the wireless network to function in Freebsd. Here's ifconfig -a bfe0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::215:c5ff:feb8:39e%bfe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 172.16.1.42 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 ether 00:15:c5:b8:03:9e media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active fwe0: flags=108902BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::304f:c0ff:fe9c:7541%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 32:4f:c0:9c:75:41 ch 1 dma -1 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 I've googled a similar issue here: http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/browse_frm/thread/d68ec8e94a4d45f9/c513bc5b1afe7517?lnk=stq=fwe0+needsgiantrnum=3#c513bc5b1afe7517 But didn't get a resolution. The google post refers to ugen and to ural, but that looks more like an argument between different posters, rather than an answer to the original question. I have NOT modified /boot/loader.conf, but I have tried the instructions in the handbook using kldload .. to no avail dmesg has a peculiar entry: fwe0: if_start running deferred for Giant the rest of it follows. The clue, I think, is that in ifconfig fwe0 NEEDSGIANT and in dmesg, if_start is deferred for Giant. Who is this giant? How do I slay him?

Hi Jim,
usually (in my experience) this is done by changing the cursors you actually
use (rather than 'enlarge' the current by some software method).
On my 6.2-PRERELEASE system X cursors are located in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/
you can download packages and extract them in folders there, or simply install
them from ports (search for 'cursor' in the name). To change the default
setting (so it affects your login manager too, you need to edit
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme
For example, I have the following cursor packages installed:
$ pkg_info | grep curso
cursor-bluecurve-theme-0.234_2 The Bluecurve X cursor themes
and my index.theme is:

$ cat index.theme

#Inherits=core
There may be some way for your desktop manager to modify the cursor... but
this works, and I use XFCE, so i don't know those details about KDE or GNOME. I
think Enlightment has some mouse-pointer related settings, but it's been a
while since I tried it.

BTX Halted on 6.1 but not 5.4
I was trying to build a test machine so I could run something on 6.2 PR and keep abreast of the changes without updating a server I've pushed a little further than I should have ;-). I had an old Compaq Presario Athlon 900 that wasn't doing anything so I attempted to install using the 6.1 ISO. I found I could not get past a BTX Halted error even after disabling everything in BIOS that can be disabled, disabling ACPI and removing all the cards but the video. The board is quite proprietary and has no configuration options whatsoever. Researching this, I found several possibilities but none applied and I concluded there wasn't much that could be done to work around the problem. Then when I was about to give up, I noticed I still had an old 5.4 ISO in my stacks of disks. I popped it in and it sailed through. My question is, is there a good probability that if I install 5.4 and cvsup to RELENG_6 that it will work. I didn't see anything that actually gave a clear definition of the BTX Halted error and am wondering if I put in 5 or 6 hours on this box, does the BTX Halted error provide any indication that it may have an issue anyway beyond just sysinstall? The cost of a mobo and CPU for a test system will end up a pretty cheap alternative if the hours start adding up.
