5.1 install panics
i am doing a new system install but the 5.1 release panics on install. After probing devices the kernel panics: /: no space on device The system has a new unpartitioned 120GB SATA hard drive connected to an Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA. The system has 1 GB of RAM, a regular IDE CD-ROM, and standard floppy. Anyone have any ideas? I suspect it is the adaptec card. -Derek [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
6.0 panics on boot
I have a computer that has been running FreeBSD 4.X and 5.X without problems. It runs 5.4 with no problems at all. This system has an Intel 845 Motherboard and chipset, Intel Pentium 4 1.6 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, NVidea GEForce MX/MX 400 video card, atapi CD-RW, IDE hard drive, standard floppy. Nothing very exotic in this hardware. I tried first to cvsup to 6.0, and rebuild everything. The build was fine including a custom kernel, but when I tried to boot the new 6.0, I got a panic, Fatal trap 12, page fault at the NVidea driver in the boot. So I re-booted the kernel.old, reverted my sources to 5.4 and rebuilt the system all again. As the system rebuilt I downloaded and burned the ISO 6.0 image. I tried to boot the ISO image and do a binary upgrade. The CD booted 6.0 fine, and the upgrade installed with only one error that the X.org was already present. When I tried to boot the new 6.0 GENERIC kernel that was installed, I got the same panic/page fault error I had when I updated via cvsup. But since the same GENERIC kernel boots fine from CD I suspect there may be some loader options I might need? I'd appreciate any help with getting 6.0 to boot without the panic.

Yes I am using the nvidia driver that is from x11/nvidia-driver. I guess since I don't have the system boot into X, this didn't occur to me. It makes sense that the problem is this driver getting loaded at boot since it is in my loader.conf and the CD doesn't have that. I figured it would be something simple I was tripping on.

help re-writing boot record
I have read the handbook and man pages but found some inconsistencies, so that has prompted my question to the list. Also, I am being careful in needing to re-write the boot record because this is an older system that won't boot FreeBSD correctly from CD-ROM or from floppy (it will boot from floppy but cannot find the floppy drive it booted from, a strange weird problem from the BIOS.) I have a system running FreeBSD 4.11 Release. This system has 2 SCSI drives. At one time this system was a dual boot system, that has since been dedicated to only FreeBSD. I needed more space in the root partition and have utilized the other OS partitions re-labeling them as FreeBSD and doing newfs on them, and moving all the files. The system will boot from the new root partition, but not automatically. The new root partition is on: /dev/da1s1e I have added a boot.config file, but that hasn't helped. My boot.config file contains: da(1,e)/kernel When I need to reboot this system, I have to type in this at the boot prompt when the system complains it cannot find the boot device: da(1,e)/kernel to get the system to boot. So, what do I need to do to re-label the disk(s) to get the system to boot automatically?

Re: Problems with SCSI
On many newer motherboards you can enable or disable the SCSI in the BIOS. You should make sure the SCSI is enabled. If the SCSI is enabled you should get a message from the SCSI BIOS to hit some keys to enter the SCSI configuration. This is all using the Motherboards firmware and independent of any Operating System. You should be able to check your SCSI configuration and see what SCSI devices the controller has found. If your CD is not found, check the settings, termination and cabling. -Derek At 08:58 PM 3/3/2006, David LeCount wrote: I recently purchased a Tyan S2895 motherboard and more recently a Hitachi SCSI drive.

I read about someone doing benchmarks with this motherboard and SCSI drives, so the controller is apparently supported. Nevertheless, I can't get it to work.

Re: Problems with SCSI
If the SCSI is enabled you should get a boot message and be able to go into the SCSI configuration. All SCSI controllers will list the devices found on boot, so if you aren't seeing any devices you don't have it working right.

Looking in the CMOS for firewire, I finally found the SCSI controller setting. I never would have guessed it would be under PCI configuration. Anyway, I enabled that, and I disabled firewire, both ethernet ports (I use wireless anyway), and both SATA channels. I'll have to enable one of the SATA channels later since I have a new SATA drive, but for now I want to keep it as simple as possible. Also, I have the mpt device built into my kernel, along with scbus and da. Still, FreeBSD does not list a da device, dmesg doesn't show anything about mpt, and there is no information displayed on boot about SCSI drives. It's as if the SCSI controller is still disabled, even though I enabled it and saved settings. (I went back into CMOS to verify it was still enabled.)

RE: Problems with SCSI
David, How do you have the CD drive cabled? That motherboard has 68-pin SCSI connectors, and SCSI CD's mostly have 50-pin connectors, there are a few with 68-pin connectors, but it isn't common.

RE: Problems with SCSI
David, That jumper they reference in the manual isn't clear to my reading what state it needs to be in. You may need to try both settings and see if it makes a difference. As for the additional messages that is to be sure you see output from the hardware tests which should list the SCSI controller and any devices connected to the controller, along with your other devices. These messages allow you to check the actual hardware setup, verify your BIOS settings. If changing the jumper, or pulling out any PCI cards in the slots mentioned in the manual with that jumper, you have me stumped. I'd suggest it may be time to contact the manufacturer or vendor and ask them if there is some secret to getting the SCSI working, or if they have a diagnostic utility to test the SCSI. You may just have a bad board. -Derek At 10:07 PM 3/4/2006, David LeCount wrote: This comes with OPTIONAL SCSI interface, u sure you got the board with the SCSI option ? Well it has two SCSI ports on the motherboard, has an option to enable/disable it in the CMOS, and was advertised as having a SCSI Ultra 360 controller. If it doesn't, I want my money back. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813151149 How do you have the CD drive cabled? That motherboard has 68-pin SCSI connectors, and SCSI CD's mostly have 50-pin connectors, there are a few with 68-pin connectors, but it isn't common. It's not a CD drive, it's a hard drive. It is indeed a 68-pin. It's as simple as plugging it in. Do you have the CD terminated, and the SCSI on the motherboard's termination set correctly? There is a terminator at the end of the cable. If you're asking about something else, then I don't understand what you mean. You need to check a jumper on your motherboard, the jumper is: J92 This jumper effects the onboard SCSI. This is in the manual on page 13 It is open, which is the default. Enable the boot-time diagnostic screen, enable the summary screen as well, and check the boot device priority. If you have SCSI enabled correctly this will be a choice to boot from it. These are on page 54 I've done all that. The summary screen doesn't show any SCSI drives, although I don't think it showed my SATA drive either but it's definitely working. I couldn't tell what the diagnostic screen setting did but I enabled it. The boot priority list is actually an oddity It does list PCI SCSI but beside it it lists my SATA drive, not the SCSI drive. I am certain of this because it lists it as a Western Digital drive but my SCSI drive is a Hitachi. I am really confused why it lists the SATA drive under SCSI. When I disable SATA, it doesn't list a drive beside SCSI, although the option is still there in the boot priority list. I'm not sure what the deal with that is. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Re: suggestions for an ecomomy laser printer
I would look at low cost lasers that include postscript (along with PCL), one that has a CPU and renders the page in the printer (vs a Windows printer) and a network interface. Under $500 is easy to do in the samsung line, if you are willing to spend a couple more hundred you can get a color laser in that line. Then set your printer up with an IP on your LAN. You may need to setup a filter in lpd to print correct end-of-line characters (Cr-Lf vs Lf) but that is pretty easy to do. Cost per page is by far cheapest in straight monochrome. Printing monochrome on a color model is more expensive as the toner containers are smaller capacity, which keeps the cost per page higher. You will get the lowest cost per page using high capacity monochrome toners. -Derek At 10:15 AM 3/7/2006, David Banning wrote: I have been looking at economy laser printers in the stores, only to discover that many will not print on FreeBSD.

Re: coming back up after power failure (UPS)
Peter, Look in the bios in the power management section, for something like after loss of power, there set the action to power on, as opposed to stay off, or anything else. You can test this just power on the unit and pull the plug during the bios post. If it comes back on when you plug it back in, you have it right. I have NUT set to power down on low battery, so if you need help, let me know. -Derek At 05:39 PM 3/8/2006, Peter wrote: --- Philip Hallstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On an updated 5.4 box I am using Network UPS Tools (NUT) with an APC Smart-UPS.

Re: coming back up after power failure (UPS)
If you set up the rules with NUT to halt the system at the first power outage AND the BIOS of the system is set to stay off, yes it will wait for a human to hit the power button. This is also the case with a system that doesn't power off completely and sits at the prompt saying it is OK to reboot or power off the system If you want other behaviors you simply configure NUT and your system BIOS appropriately. -Derek At 11:46 AM 3/9/2006, James Long wrote: Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 01:37:21 +0200 From: Ion-Mihai Tetcu [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: coming back up after power failure (UPS) To: Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 8 Mar 2006 16:39:02 -0500 (EST) Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On an updated 5.4 box I am using Network UPS Tools (NUT) with an APC Smart-UPS.

Re: More Server Crash Saga
Grant, That is a one unit rack mount server, which makes it prone to have heat problems, particularly under any load. You might want to check the ambient heat and the internal heat sensors as well. That server uses an intel chipset (and probably an intel motherboard) which should allow out-of-band monitoring. You should see what you can use to monitor the system and see what the system is reporting prior to a lockup. It may be time to just call dell and have them send a replacement MB or entire unit. -Derek At 03:47 PM 3/16/2006, Grant Peel wrote: Hi all, Still getting crashing today ...

ONE BIG PROBLEM: When I removed the CD and rebooted, I got into my Windows XP (I have two separate disks, one for Windows, one of FreeBSD). There was no way to get into FreeBSD. Naturally, I went into my BIOS and changed the boot sequence from CD to Hard Drive. That only caused my system to boot into Windows XP. I read the instructions about the FreeBSD Boot Manager. It said clearly that it should allow switching from one OS to another. But I did not see any configuration for that. How, may I ask, do I do this while installing FreeBSD? How do I change this configuration to guarantee that all my work won't go down the toilet and that when I reboot, I will see Lilo or whatever as a boot manager that will allow me to select either FreeBSD or Windows?

Re: hard error reading: set fstab mounts to frw: can no longer access filesystem
Edwin, Boot the server single user, -s. Then if you need to, bring up the IP stack manually. Depending on your mount points, booting single user only mounts root, so you can try to fsck the other unmounted filesystems. Only if those file systems are readable will you be able to get your files off. You can also try tar'ing files to floppy or other removeable drive you may have on the server. Not a great solution, but it may be all you can do. -Derek At 08:12 PM 3/20/2006, Edwin D. Vinas wrote: Hi, After a power outage my FreeBSD-4.10 server's 40GB HDD had many fragmentations and no matter how I repeatedly do fsck, the errors saying hard error reading fsbn are still there. I tried doing fsck over and over but it seems this is already a hardware error and can no longer be corrected. So my goal now is to recover my files! First, I did a mount -a and was able to copy some of important files but I have more data which I need to backup which I thought would only be possible if I can make the server boot and make it work at least with TCP/IP so I can transfer data to the other PCs in the LAN. But, after mount -a, I edited the fstab to set mounts to frw to force mount all drives and not give me those hard error reading fsbn. So, I rebooted the machine, only to find out that after it mounted all partitions the the /usr/libexec/getty something can't be found or executed for ttys and its giving me unending errors. And there it goes, I can no longer access my filesystem because it hangs or doesn't have a terminal when the machine is about to finish booting. There is no prompt anymore, all I can see are the getty errors. If only I can edit fstab back without f option, I can still manually copy my files to a USB. Is there anyway to still recover my files? Is there a way I can edit fstab to remove f option so I can't have those getty errors? Or is it possible to mount the server's HDD in another FreeBSD machine? Thanks.

Re: Award BIOS Upgrade Fees - Slightly Offtopic
This sounds like it is offered as a 3rd party BIOS upgrade. You didn't say who the manufacturer is, bust most of the better manufacturer's support their own BIOS updates directly. Using a 3rd party BIOS is often used on non-support motherboards or older motherboards that are no longer supported, or for some special feature the original manufacturer does not support (different CPU's or controllers, etc.) For a 3rd party BIOS, 39.95 is cheap. They can be much higher, close to $100. -Derek At 09:49 AM 4/5/2006, Thompson, Jimi wrote: I just encountered what I consider to be a totally outrageous problem. I've got a system with a BIOS issue.

Re: src upgrade from 4.11-p16 to 5.4 possible?
I recently did this exact operation. It went fine for me on my second try. The first one I determined didn't go well as I didn't have the system up to date first. So on my second attempt I made sure my 4.11 system was up to date, and did a complete buildworld, buildkernel, etc. Once I was sure it was completely up to date on 4.11, I: Saved my kernel config file to: /usr/oldkernels/ rm -rf /usr/src rm -rf /usr/ports I changed my cvsup tag and pulled new source.

I did need to create a new kernel configuration file starting with GENERIC and boot.hints from my old 4.11 kernel configuration file. All went well except one library didn't get put in place when I did the installworld. It was built but just not in place, so I saw an error when I booted the system, and moved it manually. The library that didn't get moved was: libc.so.4 I did add: COMPAT4X= yes to my make.conf file and options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 to my kernel config file, but still had to make sasl2 and sendmail for sasl2.

RE: server hardware
Data centers charge for space in rack units per month. So a 2 unit case is more rental than a one unit model. If you want to build it yourself, which will be most cost effective, and rack space rental cost is not an issue, I would suggest getting a 3 unit case. A three unit case will take any motherboard and CPU. Smaller 1 unit and 2 unit cases are constricted by their size and heat dissipation and usually are limited to only certain motherboard and CPU combinations. Also depending on what type of hard drive system you want (RAID, or just a drive or two) the larger cases are more flexible. -Derek At 08:25 AM 4/18/2006, Jean-Paul Natola wrote: The box that currently runs is an old dimension, 400 mhz mirrored IDE 256 ram, so anything / everything out there on the market will be improvement, as far as putting it together I can most certainly do it, if it will be cost-effective, plus I love the thought of it.

The short answer is to backup the files you want to save. As a general rule, I suggest backing up: /etc /usr/local/etc /usr/local/www The last one assumes you have some website(s). If you are also worried about email, if you are using the standard sendmail, also backup: /var/mail I would suggest you create separate compressed tar volumes for your backups, then you can restore them individually if you need to. -Derek At 02:53 AM 4/16/2006, Oliver Iberien wrote: I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 on a home machine and backing up to a DVD Burner, probably using kdar, the dar archiver that comes with KDE.

The capacity of the DVDs sets a practical limit on what I can reasonably back up, so I need to pick and choose, basically to make recovery easier should everything go south. Thanks!

RE: server hardware
You'll do best to select your individual hardware and then shop for it one at a time, searching for the best prices. You can select motherboards at the manufacturer's websites. You will get better performance with RAID build on the motherboard. Newer motherboards also support SATA-300, so you will want drives in that speed too (most 300 GB and larger are available in SATA-300.) New motherboards will also support dual core CPU's which are now the same price as hyperthreaded single core CPU's. These motherboards will also support faster DDR2 RAM. Rack cases cost more, but get a good brand that supports different cooling options and quieter operation on the larger 3U and 4U models. You may want to use a couple shopping bots to help find the best prices once you have your shopping list complete. -Derek At 09:16 AM 4/18/2006, Jean-Paul Natola wrote: From what I'm seeing , as far as pricing, a decent case is running about 150, cpu/mobo combo 250, add memory (150) , a pair of sata drives (120), and pci raid (40) , and I'm approaching 700 dollars.

Re: OT: Domain Registration
Martin, You assumptions are just about right . . .but here are the corrections . . . To mange your own DNS you need to name servers, a primary and a secondary. When you buy the domain name you specify the name servers. Some registrars want the name and IP, some just want the IP, some just want the name. But you need to provide these. While this seems a bit chick and egg (as it what comes first.) it doesn't matter. Just have your domain names and DNS map files ready. I believe what you mean my subdomain records you mean host A records. You just add these records to your map files, and update the serial number in that file, and restart named. Secondary name servers look for the serial number in the map file and will update their maps when they detect a new serial number. Don't forget to provide reverse IP maps as well as forward maps. Hope this helps. -Derek At 06:44 AM 4/25/2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I know this is off topic, but I can't think of a good place to ask this where knowledgable people will answer, and this list usually has a high tolerence of ot but technical questions (plus I will be using a FreeBSD server, so it is not _entirely_ OT :) I'm looking to setup my server as a domain name server.

Re: Purchasing the correct hardware: dual-core intel? Big cache?
Yes, dual core is on average 20% faster than hyperthreaded CPU's. But that is general benchmark. The range of performance difference is 10% - 30% depending on the application mix. If you use well optimized applications, you see the larger performance gain.

Re: Purchasing the correct hardware: dual-core intel? Big cache?
Bill, Never assume . . . Depending on where you got the PostgreSQL, was it in binary form or source. Most binarys are NOT optimized for higher end, more current processors, rather they are optimized for the most common family of CPU's. But if your database application is really CPU bound, I would look at the data model and how your application is accessing and using the data. RDBMS's can be very effiicent, or terribly inefficient. In the worst case you can cause an RDBMS to serially go through every record searching for data or doing a calculation. While a bigger cache may help, as may dual core CPU's, or faster CPU's. In the end, you may only see marginal improvement if the application or database is really where you need to tune things. -Derek At 08:25 AM 4/25/2006, Bill Moran wrote: On Tue, 25 Apr 2006 07:56:03 -0500 Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, dual core is on average 20% faster than hyperthreaded CPU's.

Poor optimization causes a CPU to chug along, flushing the CPU cache often, and slowing things down considerably. I know. That's why I'm so desperately trying to find a way to determine how often the cache is being invalidated - so I can determine whether larger cache sizes (such as 8M) are worthwhile. The database server is PostgreSQL. If we find optimization problems with it, we'll definitely work with the PostgreSQL folks to get those problems addressed, but I'm not expecting a lot of poorly-written code in something as mature as PostgreSQL. So, making a (reasonable) assumption that PostgreSQL is well-optimized, I need a way to tell if adding another 6M of cache will improve performance, _before_ we pay for it.

Re: cannot ping anything
See if you can ping your own interface. You should be able to ping it on both the loop back 127.0.0.1 and the 192.168.1.128 address. If you can ping those and still not the router at 192.168.1.1 check for other defaultrouter statements. If you have only one of these statements, I would bring down the interface and bring it up manually until you find the correct settings. For instance you may need to set the line speed 1t 10 MBs, or 100 MBs or 1000 Mbs, or set the duplex setting. Oh and check the LED's on your ethernet interface and router and hub/switches to be sure you didn't knock a cable loose. -Derek At 12:50 PM 1/20/2006, Alvaro J.

Re: RAM check - Followup question
This system is listed with the RAM manufacturer's and according to Kingston's notes: Systems shipped with 800MHz FSB processors require DDR400 (KTD8300/xxx) parts. Systems shipped with 533MHz FSB processors require DDR333 (KTD4550/xxx) parts. MODULES MUST BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED IN PAIRS for Dual Channel mode. This system is configurable and may ship with a different amount of standard memory. So you may have the wrong speed ram causing the errors in dual-channel mode, or you may just have a bad module. I don't know any ram that is NOT guaranteed for life, so if you have a bad module contact the manufacturer and get it replaced. -Derek At 12:16 PM 1/27/2006, Philip Juels wrote: I switched the DIMMs from dual-channel to single-channel and so far (up to test 4) I get no errors.

Re: GEOM - how do we replace a failing HDD?
This depends on your RAID card. Most RAID cards report the failure of a drive and will do the rebuilding of a failed drive within the RAID firmware, outside any OS. So if a drive fails and you replace the drive, on the next system boot you would have the RAID firmware duplicate the existing drive to the new drive. -Derek At 11:43 PM 1/28/2006, Yance Kowara wrote: Hi all, We are trying to use GEOM to make a RAID-1 system (using a pair of identical IDE) and it is quite simple to setup.

Re: need some advice on our cisco routers..
The best practice I follow for securing routers, is to disable any remote access unless remote access is really necessary. If remote access is required, I always limit the access to a small number, usually 1-3 remote IP's. It is also a good idea to enable remote logging to keep a record of events and access as all routers have limited logging space internally. Cisco among other brands all have had a number of exploits found and reported on the web. I expect that is how your telnet users got into your router. So it also is in your best interest and practices to regularly check and update any firmware on your routers. Hope this helps. -Derek At 12:07 AM 2/9/2006, Mark Jayson Alvarez wrote: Hi, We have a couple of cisco routers. There was one time when suddenly we cannot login remotely via telnet. I investigate further and was shocked when I found out that there where 16 telnet connections coming from outsiders ip addresses. I immediately called our Director(the only cisco certified guy in the office) and he begin kicking each of the telnet connections one by one. He then replaced every secret/password and deleted all unnecessary local accounts. However, we're still wondering how those hackers got into the system. Now this cisco's aaa is default to a radius server. Since then, outsiders have gone away.. Perhaps the hackers got one of the router's local accounts, and trying to brute force their way to enable mode. Now, I have few questions: 1. Is it possible to think that they still haven't cracked the enable password yet or they already know it and just silently been playing with our router?? What for? If you are a hacker, what would you do if you got an access to an ISP's router??:-) 2. What will you do if the same thing happened to you?? 3.How do you secure your cisco routers in your office?? Our director said that we should look for best practices in securing our routers. Our company is an ISP for broadband internet for RD institutions. We offer no dial up connections, only E1's etc. We have 2 stm1(155Mbps) outgoing pipes. One cisco 7206 and one cisco 7304. We have a radius server running some old version of freebsd(4.6 I guess) but the accounting is not working anymore. Only authentication, and radius uses the accounts listed in /etc/passwd. Now, I am trying to configure a new radius server(to replace the old server configured by the former net/sys admins) only not sure if it is really what we need.. My initial idea of radius is that it ties up authentication, authorization and accounting.. however as I have said, I guess we don't need any accounting since we don't offer dial up services. In authentication, I tried once to make our router work with our kerberos setup so that telnet password doesnt have to be sent but unfortunately, I failed to make it work with our heimdal installation(seems like they are having incompatibility issues with encryption, though I haven't tried it with MIT yet). Authorization: We currently have an ldap directory used only for email services, don't know if it is still needed. We also have remote logging through that radius server also, and guess what, its not working anymore. I compared the config of that compromised router with the other one and found out that the logging lines are gone(hmmm..) I need some tips here. The tools you are currently using. Also some of the best practices you are implementing in your noc.. I'm the new admin and the services are poorly documented.. Now I am trying to start everything from scratch, this time documenting everything I am doing..

I have already added a line to /etc/mail/access (in the format [EMAIL PROTECTED] REJECT), and have run makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db /etc/mail/access. I tested this with my personal email address (external to my network), and it had the effect of blocking any email orginating from my personal email to any address at my work, however it does not prevent me from sending emails to this address from a work address, which is the whole point. Does anyone have any ideas? I could tag the address as spam, but I would rather not. There has to be a way to block anyone from sending to a certain email address, I would think. Any help would be appreciated. -Jim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Blocking an individual email address....again
To debug this you need to kick up the logging on sendmail, add the loglevel option to your sendmail options in rc.conf: -O LogLevel=80 You will need a loglevel value fairly high, like 80. You can then watch or just look at the sendmail log file: /var/log/maillog And see what is actually happening. You should be aware that there are typically 2 to 3 separate instances of sendmail running passing the mail around. Hope this helps. -Derek At 09:39 AM 2/16/2006, James Csoka wrote: I'm reposting this with some more info.any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a mail server (it also functions as a firewall) running freebsd5.4, with mailscanner, openwebmail, and sendmail. I wish to block an individual email address, but I do not want to mark it as spam. My first solution was to add the blacklist feature to the sendmail.mc file, and recreate the .cf file, which I did. I then added the line To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] REJECT to the /etc/mail/access file, and ran make maps. I also had added the line [EMAIL PROTECTED] REJECT. This then blocked that address from sending email to people on my internal network. When I tested it from outside my network I used openwebmail as a web interface to send email to that address, and it failed. Which was what I wanted. However, from inside my network, using Outlook, you can send email to that address without a problem. It seems as if the access.db is doing it's job. When using openwebmail, the smtp server rejects any attempt to send mail to that address. however, locally, it does not. When i'm sitting in front of my windows client, I can use Outlook and send email to that address without a problem. Does anyone know why via a web interface, the access file rules would apply, yet they would be ignored when sending mail from inside the network using Outlook to send external email? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Mounting data DVDs?
It is possible your DVD is not cd9660 standard format. The cd9660
pre-dates DVD's and is for CD-ROMS. Can you mount a standard CD-ROM?
You may also need to add the -r flag to mount to specify it is a read-only
filesystem.
Hope this helps.

Re: Qpopper v4.0.8
As you said you have just upgraded, did you use the port to upgrade? If you did it will use the configuration setting to build qpopper. Otherwise, if you downloaded qpopper's source and built it yourself, you need to check the configuration settings. You should verify qpopper is built and executable: ls -l /usr/local/libexec/qpopper If you are using tcp wrappers disable them to test qpopper by uncommenting the line: #ALL : ALL : allow in /etc/hosts.allow as a last check, it never hurts to reboot the box, so you are sure there are no issues from old processes or sockets. If you are still having problems connecting check the log add the option: -t [some log file location and file name] such as -t /var/log/qpopper.log Then you can see what the problems are. Hope this helps. -Derek At 12:51 PM 2/22/2006, michaela wrote: I was running an older version of Qpopper on my mailserver and had NO problems whatsoever. Everything was going great.

Re: sendmail hangs with errors after setting hostname
I would suggest setting the hostname as a different address from localhost. There are multiple instances of sendmail that run, as your rc.conf file has them enabled.

Re: changing Sendmail server's IP address, nightmare!
As far as I know, sendmail uses DNS and the server's name resolution it is running on for the IP's. There is nowhere I know in sendmail where an IP is hard coded. If you are having any difficulty it is due to changes to your DNS, and the time it takes for DNS changes to propagate across the net. It sounds like you were doing too many changes at one time, moving to a new ISP which would require a change to all your IP addresses, AND changing your DNS from internal to the ISP's. In making these changes you need to first get on your new IP block, so you have internet access. Then update your DNS records for the new IP addresses. Then as a last step move the DNS to your ISP, making your server's DNS a slave DNS or just a caching DNS server. In making a move to your ISP's DNS be aware ISP's do NOT usually update their DNS maps often, typically once a week, then the new maps begin proliferating which usually takes 24-72 hours. Hope this helps. -Derek At 09:35 PM 2/25/2006, Curtis Hart wrote: Does anyone have any specific information on making IP address changes to Sendmail servers since I have found that this situation is a lot more difficult/tedious than I had thought.

Re: Help Sun Blade 1000
Sparcs are a bit different. A sparc will boot from tape, CD-ROM, net, floppy, hard drive, pretty much and device. However, you have to boot from the right record or slice, etc on the media. Setting the boot device in the prom won't guarantee a boot from that device, only that it will try that device as the default. Sparcs are fussy about what they will boot, you can try booting right from the prom. If you have the ok prompt you can type boot cdrom You get more control in the prom's old mode where you can type b sd(0,6,0) to boot from a SCSI CD at id 6 As I said the sparcs are fussy, and may not boot if your cd is not burned correctly (depending on what software you used to make the image.) You can google for more information on booting the sparc, there are other UNIX's that do boot on these, so I know it should be possible. You may have to keep trying. -Derek At 09:41 AM 2/28/2006, Scott Einuis wrote: Hi People, I've been using FreeSBD for years on x386 machines, and just yesterday someone gave me a Sun Blade (Ultra-Sparc III) machine with an external SCSI CD-ROM.

And Since I tried to install FreeBSD already and failed, how do I get the Sun Machine to boot from the CD I created for SPARC boot only?

Re: shared irqs and freebsd
Shared irq's are a hardware and motherboard issue, not a operating system issue. You have to be able to setup your hardware NOT to use shared IRQ's if you can. This has been a problem on PC's since the first IBM PC rolled out, and still continues today. That is why special multiport cards were created to manage multiple resources on a single card/interrupt. In the dark ages that meant multiple port serial cards to run terminals on, etc. -Derek At 10:29 AM 2/28/2006, gahn wrote: Hi: How goes FreeBSD deal with shared irqs? Looks like FreeBSD could only work with two nic's (the same exact type). I am running 5.4 and trying to install three or four cards (the same exact type) in one machine. Thanks __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Does FreeBSD have problems with SCSI CD-drives ??
I believe it is more incompatibilities with older BIOS and SCSI BIOS, etc. I have an older MB that won't boot the SCSI CD. This is really problematic as the system will boot the floppies, but cannot after booting, find the boot device. I have to mount the cd and update from the mounted cd. Once I have the system loaded on the hard drive it is fine. I know this is of no help, just letting you know you are not alone. -Derek At 02:01 PM 2/28/2006, Rene Brehmer wrote: I've got SCSI Plextor CD-drives in my computer (AMD Athlon XP-based), and ATA harddrives. When I try to install FreeBSD 6.0 booting from the CDs, it stops with Error, unable to load kernel. I tried first with 6.0, then with 5.4. Interestingly the 5.4 installer says Unable to load matching kernel. I then made the install floppies, and used those to boot from, and then it installed without a problem. Although the disk slicer did make a few errors in the partition table, which I had to fix to get Windows to work properly (did a dual-boot install). Just wondering: Does FreeBSD have an issue with SCSI CD-ROM drives, or is it just the install bootup???

Re: System Burn In
The motherboard manufacturer's usually have stress tests in their diagnostics. These usually run outside any OS, meaning you boot the diagnostics.

Re: Choosing cpu type when building kernel (stupid one i know)
The kernel config file details what support is built into the kernel. However, what instruction set and how the instructions are built are dependent on the compiler options which are set in /etc/make.conf I have: CPUTYPE=pentium4 In one server that has a Pentium 4's /etc/make.conf so gcc builds everything using the full Pentium 4 instruction set. -Derek At 01:13 AM 3/1/2006, Steel City Phantom wrote: in bsd 6, i have to recompile the kernel to add atapicam. ok, fine. the part of the config file that gets me is this: machine i386 cpu I486_CPU cpu I586_CPU cpu I686_CPU ident GENERIC the machine i386, i get. all intel PC's since the 386 have used a common basic instruction set and the developers just want to build in something in case intel pulls an Apple Computer on us. the rest is what i don't understand. 486 isn't mentioned in the NOTES file, 586 is just pentium, and 686 is pentium pro.
