counting pages sent to postscript printer via samba and lpd
Hiya all. I'm busy reading the manual on this, but am wondering if anyone has tips and howtos available. I took delivery of our new color laser printer, a CP1515n, HP networked color laser. since this thing is not exactly cheap to run I want to count pages per user, and since I have failed miserably to get this right when using PCL drivers, I'm thinking I can do it with Postscript drivers. but first, the system Our Samba server hosts all printers (from a user perspective), and feeds the data directly to the print servers (FreeBSD minial install) for some printers, or directly to the printer for the other directly networked HP laser printer (PCL6). This works fine, in fact very well, and a log of jobs per person is available (each person being an authorized samba user). I have just installed the PS drivers on my XP PC and printed to the printer via the samba server with a simple printcap setup... cp1515|CP1515n Color Laserjet:\ :sh:ff=:\ :lp=:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/cp1515:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd/lpd-cp1515errs:\ :ss=/var/log/lpd/stat-cp1515:\ :rm=xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:\ :rp=RAW: That means I have a record of *jobs* in the stat-cp1515 file, but what I need is a page count for each job. tips? (PS: I tried to set up LPng some time ago and somehow completely failed to get it to work and ended up just uninstalling it.

Re: counting pages sent to postscript printer via samba and lpd
Hi,
I'm busy reading the manual on this, but am wondering if anyone has
tips and howtos available.

networked color laser. since this thing is not exactly cheap to run
I want to count pages per user, and since I have failed miserably to
get this right when using PCL drivers, I'm thinking I can do it with
Postscript drivers. but first, the system
From what I know:
- PostScript does not return page count;
- and lpd would not collect the page count even if it was returned by
PostScript.
Now if you use PostScript encapsulated into PCL, the PCL outside job
can return page count.
And to be accurate, you must deny any user to access the printer
directly (setting access lit on the printer).
Ecapsulation in Perl:
# before the job
print S esc%-1234...@pjl JOB NAME=\$ID_STRING\\r\n;
print S \...@pjl USTATUS JOB=ON\r\n;
print S \...@pjl SET DUPLEX=ON\r\n;
# you PostScript or PCL file goes here\
# after the job
print S esc%-1234...@pjl EOJ NAME=\$ID_STRING\\r\n;
print S ESC%-12345X\r\n;
The ID_STRING is what you see fit, I use:
$ID_STRING=PID=$$ USER=$user HOST=$host;
With such encapsulation, the printer will return something like:
my $end=0;
my $job=0;
while (S) {
$end=1 if $_ =~ /^END/;
$job=1 if $end $_ =~ /^NAME=\$ID_STRING\/;
$pages=$1 if $end $job $_ =~ /^PAGES=(\d+)/;
}
As you see, you can encapsulate PCL inside PCL too. And you can force
some default arguments in your outside PCL job (like print double
side) that will be true unless the user specify otherwise.
The above has been working fine with several HP printers over the
years.

Hello Mike,
What version on FBSD are you using? The keep state is implicit from 7.0 as
far as i know. I might not be right so someone please correct.
If that is the case you should add keep state to your rule and see what
happens.

AFAIK.
So if you are using a version prior 7.0 you should add keep state so the
return traffic
can be passed.

Automated Production of Web Pages
I have been asked to come up with an automated way of producing web pages. Specifically, this is for mrtg but it really doesn't matter. The idea is that there are many pages which are identical except for different names and a couple of other items such as whether the page represents a system that is actively being polled or was being polled at one time but is now here for archival purposes, that sort of thing. This needs to be some sort of script application so we can feed it automatically and not have to manually build each page. Is there any open-source platform which makes this especially quick and easy? Of course, as one who likes to script repetitive tasks, I can attest to the fact that that first script is murder at times but the time you spent building it is payed back the next time when it runs automatically at 3 A.M. and only took 15 seconds to run. That's why I love Unix. So, are there php-based or other packages that help automate this process? Many thanks.

My problem is that I don't know how to make the server use the other 2 gateways I have left and balance the requests on all ADSL lines. use ipfw and fwd command. for example with output section add 1 fwd gw1_IP from DSL1_subnet to any via gw1_ethernet add 10001 fwd gw2_IP from DSL2_subnet to any via gw2_ethernet add 10002 fwd gw3_IP from DSL3_subnet to any via gw3_ethernet please do treat above as an example of course. Of course... more reading to do about ipfw Of course use right squid commands so it will select right source IP based on the rules you want, but as you already did id under linux i assume you have this practiced already. Last configurarion was a transparent proxy with request coming from the firewall LAN interface (actual LAN gateway). It is working that way now and I intend to take it away and make the proxy the default gateway of the LAN and do the balance.. i had 5+2 Polish Telecom links connected to one server - worked fine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Configuring VLANs - Why is IP address require on NIC connected to Trunk?
Hi, I am currently using FreeBSD 7.2 - although the configuration below was originally configured on FreeBSD 7.0. I have a working VLAN configuration - two VLANS on one interface. Let's call the interface ext0 and the VLANS bound to this interface vlan0 and vlan1 The interface ext0 is actually a symbolic name for the real interface (NIC) - done using ifconfig_em0_name=ext0 in rc.conf. I find I have to give the ext0 interface an IP address in order for routing and packet filtering to work on the attached VLANs. a) Is there a way to configure this so that I don't have to give ext0 an IP address? In reality ext0 actually does nothing and has no traffic directed to or from it. I would much rather have ext0 without an IP address, as then I don't have to worry about firewall rules etc. b) If I do have to give the ext0 interface an IP address are there any general standards on IP address and mask to specify? c) Should I also specify firewall rules in pf such as the following or will these rules cause other things to break. block in on ext0 from any to (ext0) block out on ext0 from (ext0) to any Kind regards, Geoff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I am a long time Linux user (desktop and server) and started with FreeBSD a year ago. Thanks to the book Absolute FreeBSD 2nd Edition I learned a lot about the OS and how to configure different services I used in Linux (Slackware). My post is regarding something I couldn't find information on how to implement it. Here's the situation: I had a proxy server (Squid + Dansguardian) under Slackware on the LAN which, via 'ip route' I make it use 3 gateways connected each one to an ADSL line and balance the requests. Unfortunately my server crashed and I took the oportunity to install a new one under FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. Squid and Dansguardian are working fine. My problem is that I don't know how to make the server use the other 2 gateways I have left and balance the requests on all ADSL lines. 192.168.10.9/16 proxy 192.168.10.2/16 1st gateway (1 NIC to LAN - 2 NIC to ADSL modem) 192.168.30.100/16 2nd gateway 192.168.30.1/16 3rd gateway I found it could be done with PF (also read most of The Book of PF) but I am quite lost about how to do it.

The ext0 interface should not need an IP address for the two vlanX interfaces to function correctly. Are you sure you're setting the vlandev on the child interfaces? Perhaps you need to force the ext0 interface up. If em0 is your external/trunk interface, you should have something like: ifconfig_em0=up cloned_interfaces=vlan0 vlan1 ifconfig_vlan0 =inet X.X.X.X netmask X.X.X.X vlan 0 vlandev em0 up ifconfig_vlan1 =inet X.X.X.X netmask X.X.X.X vlan 1 vlandev em0 up After that, you should be able to simply filter on the vlan0 and vlan1 interfaces using pf. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I've found that a source file from : separated valus serves well for the (sometimes changed and appended) source data, and a Makefile that does everything else. From this Makefile, I simply first call a preamble HTML file, then a simple awk script that adds the data lines, sourced by the CSV file, in HTML format, and finally a HTML file with the rest of the page. The command make install would then automatically upload it. Of course, as one who likes to script repetitive tasks, I can attest to the fact that that first script is murder at times but the time you spent building it is payed back the next time when it runs automatically at 3 A.M. and only took 15 seconds to run. Really, it's not a big deal, no murder at times. The easiest way is you start with one HTML file that represents what you want to have in the end, then cut it into three parts (the preamble, the changing part, the footer) and the replace the changing part by a script. Well, you can even (ab)use cpp for this. HTMLPP=cpp -C -P -traditional The advantage is that you have separated parts for everything. The preamble file changes the look of the page, e. g. via CSS. The CSV database contains the changing data, and the awk script contains the description how the data should be displayed. This separation makes it very easy if you want to change of of the different aspects I mentioned. So, are there php-based or other packages that help automate this process?

There is no sense to generate webpage every time someone watch it, unless it's contents changes every time someone watch it. PHP interpreter can be called from command line, and output HTML to file like that php -f file.php file.html This can be done from cron for example. It's not more efficient way, but more secure - there is no fear someone abuse any bugs in PHP code. PHP support in web server can be not loaded at all. That's why I love Unix.

You have to set up IP address to vlans, not main interface. It's the way vlan's work. Having 2 vlan's is like having 2 ethernet cards, while physically having one. switch is responsible to segregate your traffic and connect one virtual ethernet to right clients, and second to other clients - exactly how you configured switch. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The short and curlies of vista networking

As for the DHCP issue, I've read about the broadcast flag, but all of the answers seem to indicate it's a routing/firewall issue on the gateway that prevents the broadcast packet to reach the vista machine, yet I see no blocked traffic to that effect in pflog.

Of course use right squid commands so it will select right source IP based on the rules you want, but as you already did id under linux i assume you have this practiced already.

Re: The short and curlies of vista networking
Long ago in 2007, I saw a M$ article that describes that Vista has an extremely short delay period to get an IP. If it doesn't get it within 1 second, it gives up (and maybe tries again). Common DHCP servers ping an IP address, wait 1 second for a reply, and if no reply, assumes the IP is available and leases it to the booting computer. This one-second delay might be causing Vista to time out. The article explained how to lengthen the timeout, but I'm going to direct your attention to another vector. Is your DHCP server authoritative? That means, that no matter if any other DHCP servers are on the network, the authoritative DHCP will butt in and force/offer it's lease in preference over any other DHCP traffic on the network. The other question is why you have it as a bridge, when sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 might all you need.

Re: PF Routing to VPN Device
On 6/17/09, Mike Sweetser - Adhost mik...@adhost.com wrote:
Hello,
We have a network with a VPN device sitting beside a PF server, both
connected to an internal network.
PF Server: 10.1.4.1
VPN Device: 10.1.4.200
The VPNs are set up for 10.1.1.0/24 and 10.1.2.0/24, so any traffic to
these networks should be routed to 10.1.4.200. We've set up routes on
the PF server as such.
We've set up the following rules:
block in log
pass in on $int_if route-to 10.1.4.200 from 10.1.4.0/24 to { 10.1.1.0/24
10.1.2.0/24)
However, the block in log is catching the return traffic. From pflog
when somebody on the VPN (10.1.2.105) tries to connect to 10.1.4.25 on
port 80:
00 rule 28/0(match): block in on bge1: 10.1.4.25.80
10.1.2.105.3558: [|tcp]
If we remove the block in log, the traffic works.
What are we missing?
Thanks,
Mike
Mike,
I know the typical firewall rules that are googleable are one of two
basic starting policies..
-- 1.
block in all
pass out all
-- 2.
block all
They've become a headache to me to configure a firewall and I now
start with this base. In this example, fxp0 is facing the Internet,
and xl0 is facing the trusted network.
-- 3.
block in on fxp0 all
pass out
This adds the benefit that VPN connections, TUNs, GIFs, and all other
ethernet devices aren't blindly evaluated to a simple block in rule,
rather it's just the fxp0 interface public Internet traffic that is
being blocked, while TUNs, GIFs, and the like are exempt from that
rule entry line.
Might you try by editing your rules to just block your public IP
firewall interface?
Good luck.

Re: The short and curlies of vista networking
Long ago in 2007, I saw a M$ article that describes that Vista has an extremely short delay period to get an IP. If it doesn't get it within 1 second, it gives up (and maybe tries again). Common DHCP servers ping an IP address, wait 1 second for a reply, and if no reply, assumes the IP is available and leases it to the booting computer. 1 second is a lot of time. in my network there are lots of windoze vista users and they get IP by dhcpd without problems. delays in LAN are within 10ms range even with a lot of switches. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Ah, forgot to mention. This isn't bridge specific. It didn't work with the same issues, when I was using a separate network for the wireless interface. I was actually hoping that using a bridge would fix it, as it cleaned up my firewall and NAT rules. It also persisted through a change from ath to ral hostap. Also the IP isn't in use. My own laptop is one other wireless machine and I've kept it out of DHCP range. The Kubuntu laptop was powered off at the time, servers are also out of DHCP range and the work stations are assigned properly on different IPs. There's also no evidence of a hacked WEP connection in pftop, now that we've temporarily switched back to it. Static IP works, even the one that DHCP would have it assigned. The DHCPOFFER is just never seen by the vista client and I cannot at present determine where. It leaves the bridge interface just fine, but if it gets lost in wlan, dropped by vista firewall or silently ignored by vista because it doesn't adhere to vista's expectation is unknown. I'd appreciate it if someone would have tcpdump/wlantools etc rules available to track this and mention what to look for. We've got some time set aside this weekend to do any sniffing/diagnostics and will post back results if any.

And create optionally the serial console ability as outlined in the handbook. My ALIX (aka new PC Engines' WRAP boards) routers both have this diskless setup.

Compact Freebsd 'appliance'
I have a client who has an application that he wants to deploy in his customer's offices as a headless 'appliance'. Basically, just a black box that you can plug into a Lan, turn it on, and it runs. No floppy disk or CD, no monitor/keyboard, just remotely managed. This application won't store any critical data, so it doesn't need redundancy. It just needs to be reasonably reliable, compact, and quiet. My first recommendation was to use a Mac Mini, but that excellent bit of hardware was deemed 'not professional enough'. So now I am looking for a compact pc that can run FreeBSD, of course. I think it probably just needs a power supply, tiny motherboard with onboard ethernet, usb, etc., and hard drive.

It's on the bridge and as such on both and works on both. I have an IP

That is not 100% correct. By default, dhclient will send an initial

It is used within the TCP/IP paramaters when it's offering the lease.
DHCP protocol is what you're talking about. And the client has
0.0.0.0 and broadcasts 255.255.255.255 to find any dhcp server that
might be out there. But my statement is for his subnet block which
should be clarified.

Yes:

A broadcast of 255.255.255.255 is misconfigured (not saying it's not
gonna work, I'm saying for your network, it's not configured right).
you need broadcast-address 192.168.2.255
That is not 100% correct. By default, dhclient will send an initial
DHCPREQUST to 0.0.0.0 (meaning this network). The request is picked
up from the DHCP server broadcasting on 255.255.255.255.

The inconsistency between these two points might actually lead the OP to a solution. Evidently Vista does something different with the DHCP broadcast flag, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 If you specify a network and netmask in the subnet statement, you shouldn't need to override the broadcast address it computes, which for the config posted ought to be 192.168.2.255. Using the all-ones broadcast address should not be done by normal members of the network-- only for things which need to go beyond the network subnet/ topology (ie, the DHCP server itself might choose to send to 255.255.255.255 to make sure that anything else on the local collision domain sees it, even if the local network is split into multiple logical subnets).

Since this sounds like a home setup, in terms of raw power usage I'm inclined to suggest a tighter integration of router, DNS and firewall functionality by putting this all into something like OpenWRT on a decent off-the-shelf router, thereby eliminating the Qwest router, firewall machine and possibly mail/web if it's low volume enough and/or you pick up a router with a USB connection for storage. Try an Asus WL-500G Premium (version 1 is my favorite) if you go that route.

Re: When the Remote end of a Telnet drops
Martin McCormick wrote: In the last two weeks, we have suddenly begun having a problem when telnetting to a telephone switch in order to manage it. This device does not have ssh or we would sure be using that. We run an expect script to poll various registers on the switch and the process is fairly simple. We ask for various listings of registers. When done with a listing, the switch sends a prompt which we see and then either go to the next poll or end and log out. Recently, output just stops at the end of a line with no corruption of the text. There is even a Return character. The telnet session just sits there for days if we don't stop it. It is tempting to point fingers at the switch and the people closest to the switch say that it must be something with the network, all that fun sort of stuff that happens when you don't have undisputable proof and it doesn't happen every day. Exactly a month ago, I upgraded the patch level on this system to FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p10 Does anybody know if there are any recent issues with telnet? As a test, I telnetted to a system and then literally pulled the Ethernet plug on the remote system. The system I was telnetting from sat for many minutes. I finally hit Enter and a few minutes later, it figured out there was nothing on the remote end. There was the usual Connection closed by foreign host. message. Is there a way to make telnet either more proactive about detecting a loss of connection or of logging oddities if the connection is flickering? One such stall happened on a weekend and the connection appeared to be up for 4 days. A ps ax |grep telnet |grep -v grep showed a connection still up at least until I killed it. At that point, it logged terminated and ended. I can certainly put a timeout in expect but we have been using this same script, etc, for around 6 years and never had this problem before so a timeout would just hide whatever has changed. My own gut feeling is that the FreeBSD system is fine as we have no other problems with anything else. I suspect something is killing the idle TCP session between your hosts. If you're crossing the internet, you might ask if your ISP has modified something along those lines.

kern.securelevel
Something dawned on me. FreeBSD/Open/Net are all well secured systems. On an Internet-facing router, would applying a higher kern.securelevel provide any better, tighter, higher security if the machine was broken into? Given you need to lower the securelevel before multiuser, it is a reasonable to think raising the securelevel will give higher comfort feeling?

PACKAGESITE Directory Structure
Hello, list. After trying to figure out the incorrect directory structure for some of the packages hosted on my site, I am at a loss. After reading through /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c from HEAD, lines 337-340 seems to suggest that if 'Latest' is not found, 'All' is implied to pkg_add when PACKAGESITE is explicitly defined (otherwise overridden with hard-coded values). With that, I am still trying to figure out the proper hierarchy: Scenario 1.) If I 'pkg_add -r foo.3.2_1.tbz' from www.example.com/packages, should 'All' be implied after 'packages' (packages/All)? Scenario 2.) Same pkg_add command from www.example.com/packages/mybinary/package -- should 'All' be a subdirectory of packages/ or mybinary/? It appears that this if 'Latest/' is not found, overwrite as 'All/' may be expected, but I am getting conflicting output.

Leslie, The given port dirs (x11/xorg, etc) still probably have their work directory, which have the tokens/markers that particular stages of the port build have been done, such as the installation. rm -rf /usr/ports/*/*/work rehash cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg make install Please try that. First removes the work dir that contains the tokens, second updates root's available application hash, third and forth rebuild xorg Since xorg is so large, and receives very few (in relation to the total number of packages) updates, a quick-n-dirty way to get running is to add the package, and then update the outdated ones. pkg_add -r xorg portmaster -a I follow this same pattern on all BIG ports.. gnome2, kde3/4, xorg, and then let the portmaster update the old outdated ports that got installed. There is no functional difference between a package installed and a port installed with no options/config tweaked. Please try this.
