saslauthd with sendmail
Greetings! This is my first posting to this list, ive been using FreeBSD for about 5 days now. I come from a fairly extensive linux background, so I have a pretty good handle on compiling and configuring things. Im actually doing a project for myself to see if I can configure an exact services replica of my production linux servers, but on FreeBSD (and then ill switch it over!!). I have a couple dev boxes im using for my experimentation. One, I did a minimal install. The other, I did the developer install (install option 4 I believe it was). The other, I did a full/complete install, but so far, ive not used that one in any of my testing. Its just there. I am having terrible trouble with sendmail and saslauthd! Ive spent at least 48 hours compiling or pkg_add'ing things to try to get it to work. Each time I give the command: sendmail -d0.1 -bv root, this is what I get: fbsd60-3# sendmail -d0.1 -bv root Version 8.13.4 Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG Warning: Option: AuthMechanisms requires SASL support (-DSASL) I also get that last warning line when sendmail starts too. Ive tried pkg_install sendmail+tls+sasl2+ldap, then sendmail+tls+sasl2, then even sendmail and cyrus-sasl-saslauthd. Same thing as above. Still complains of no SASL. Then ive tried using ports. cd /usr/ports/security/sasl2 make install distclean cd /usr/ports/security/sasl2-saslauthd make install distclean then, cd /usr/src/lib/libsm make obj make depend make cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil make obj make depend make cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail make obj make depend make make install and always, with each attempt, I have the proper lines in /etc/rc.conf, such as saslauthd_enable=YES, and the make.conf contains: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS+= -L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD+= -lsasl2 I can get Sendmail to recievemails for local [EMAIL PROTECTED] no problem, like I said, I have a general handle on the configuration of sendmail. I just cant get saslauthd to play nice on freebsd for the life of me! Help!!!

what is going on??
last night i took down my fedora sever to migrate it to freebsd 6.0. ive done numerous tests on dev boxes in the past weeks getting ready for this event, and they were all successful test installs. i had all my services down and i knew what i was supposed to be doing. however, when i get to first boot, the machine says: starting sshd. and hangs for a few minutes. if i hit ctrl-c i see that sendmail is having trouble starting. i have a good DNS server listed, and the format of the /etc/hosts file is correct. now im having trouble getting pkg_add -r to work, everything to ftp.freebsd.org times out. im in a bad situation, as the server i took down hosts all my personal email accoutns (i had to add gmail just to even try to read the lsits). can someone shed some light for me here?? thanks jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: what is going on??
Thanks for the replies everyone. It turned out to be partially ipv6, partially the ipfw on my pfsense firewall. Ultimately, the hangup was in sendmail, unable to start. Ipv6 messages in the logevel 20 maillogs. However, during all my troubles, I was always able to resolve ftp.freebsd.org (I don't think I mentioned that before), as well as I could ping it and any number of other hosts as I scratched my head for 3 hours. Ultimately, I ended up compiling a new kernel anyway to enable SMP, and I just removed the ipv6 support while I was there. That and disabling the userlan ftp-proxy application on my firewall, I was up and running this morning within a few hours of compiling. So long fedora! :D jonathan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Schuele Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 8:50 PM To: Jonathan Horne Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: what is going on??

RE: what is going on??
[quote] ...that there are still quite a few 'broken' DNS servers out there. 'Broken' with respect to servicing IPv6 requests. [/quote] Actually, when you mention it that way, that makes pretty good sense as to what my situation then was. The server I was specifying was a *very* old metaip 4.1 DNS server, and its quite possible it was answering the ipv6 queries with a simple u. However, im fairly certain that the hangup was not with SSH (SSH just happened to be the lat daemon successfully started, thus the last thing printed to the screen), but sendmail. The maillog had a few lines saying unable to get ipv6 name, or something like that.

USB external drive size limitations?
Last night I plugged in a 300GB Maxtor USB drive into my FreeBSD 6.0 server (with a fat filesystem), and it told me it was too big!! Haha, its full of my backups from my previous operating system (fedora) and now im going to have a fun time getting those files onto my new FreeBSD server! Can someone recommend a course of action for me here? Google isn't really turning up anything interesting relating to size of external drives.

compiling sendmail to 8.13.6
Ok, I just cvsup'd and it did not pull down the sources for sendmail 8.13.6 ( I might still have misunderstanding of what exactly cvsup does). Anyway, I took matters into my own hands, and I was wondering if my procedure would be considered acceptable by my peers. So, this is what I did: 1) pulled down sendmail.8.13.6.tar.gz from sendmail.org. 2) read FREEBSD-upgrade doc from /usr/src/contrib/sendmail, and found this info For the import of sendmail, the following files were removed: Build cf/cf/Build cf/cf/generic-*.cf devtools/* doc/op/op.ps */Build [e-v]*/*.0 sendmail/makesendmail sendmail/sysexits.h The following directories were renamed: sendmail - src 3) untared sendmail.8.13.6.tar.gz, and made the exact same changes to files/folders listed above. Rename source folder to just 'sendmail' 4) remove /usr/src/contrib/sendmail. Replace with my new sendmail directory that I just downloaded and edited 5) re-compile sendmail as most all howtos dictate: # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm # make obj make depend make # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil # make obj make depend make # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/ # make obj make depend make make install 6) cd /etc/mail/ do a make all install restart 7) reboot. When the system came back up, the sendmail banner tells me its running 8.13.6/8.13.4. would this mean im upgraded to the latest and am now without a shadow of a doubt secure against this latest sendmail threat? Would that have been an acceptable way to upgrade a production server (and should I do it again, this time on my production sendmail server)?

best way to use cp?
ok, tell them dumb linux user how to properly copy directories recursivly, so he can stop overwritng directories with source files. /humor ok seriously, tho, i think im doing it wrong. last night i blasted some directories, and when i looked at the destination of where i was supposed to be copying to, it was full of all kinds of junk that was supposed to be in the top level of the directories i was copying. example, i want to copy /mnt/usb1/path/oldfolder (the folded all its recursive contents) into /home/mydir im pretty sure i have the syntax wrong, so could someone enlighten me? thanks! jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

method for installing ports
Ive read many many guides found all over the net in the past few days, and they can never seem to agree on the way a port is installed.

RE: what is the process for migrating a pre-built kernel to a new machine?
So if when you say copy the kernel, do you just mean the contents of the /boot/kernel directory, and that's as plain as it is? Or is there more to it? The reason I'm asking, is that I always plan for disaster recovery, and after a build, easily the single longest task for bringing my particular system totally back online, is compiling the kernel (im still running my 5 year old dual p3 800). For time's sake during recovery, I would like to skip at least that process. Can you give me more specifics on exactly what should be moved/copied? Cheers, jonathan -Original Message- From: Jason C.

Jonathan Horne wrote: What if I want to use a kernel I compiled on one system, on another system? What is the process to successfully migrate a kernel from one system to another (or back to the same after a disaster recovery)? Just FTP, NFS, or otherwise copy the kernel to the new system and reboot. Now for the caveats. It is inadvisable to copy a kernel from one version of FreeBSD to another. You'll get mysterious library errors from libraries like libkvm. Copying 6.1 kernels to and from 6.1 systems is OK. Copying 6.1 kernels to 5.4 system is bad. Copying a kernel from last month's build of stable to this months build of stable is probably bad also. I would advise you to install the kernel sources on each machine where you want to build a custom kernel. That or set up one machine to be your build server in the fashion described in the handbook. You also have to take care regarding hardware compatibility. If one system is all SCSI and the other is all IDE you are not going to be able to move those kernels around and have properly functioning hard drives. For disaster recovery, keep your kernel config file. I would argue that the config file is more important than the actual kernel binary. Later, Jason C.

RE: How do you keep users from stealing other user's ip??
You make it sound like they are doing it on purpose. Could it be the lease duration is so short that the ips are going back into the pool before they are truly abandoned by the original user? If you look at the behavior of the MS DHCP server, the lease duration is 8 days (with standard 4 day renewal). If it takes 8 days for it to back into the pool, this should be more than enough time for a user to go home for the weekend, and hopefully get the same ip when they get back to work. I would suggest increasing the lease duration time and see if that stops users from stepping on each others dhcp leases (don't forget, in the typical dhcp-request conversation, the client asks hey, I had x.x.x.x last, is it still available for me? you want the server to be able to say sure). On my freebsd router, the DHCP server came with a 1 hour lease duration (which causes a 30 minute renewal.. IMO this is too fast). Second, you mentioned that users could just download software that would allow them to change their mac address. It sounds like some users have too high a rights assignment, if they are causing mischief like that.

Hi Mark, The only way you can really lock it down is to statically assign everything (either with a DHCP server that has a table of mac addresses) and maintain an accurate list of mac addresses, and use managed switches that have filtering capabilities. We do this on bridged DSL networks (except for the managed switch part) and it's actually a lot easier to manage that most people think. What you have to do is when a new person hooks into the network, you give them a test IP address, you ping that, get their MAC for that, then hard code that into your DHCP server and tell them to switch over to DHCP to get their permanent address. Once they do that, hard- code the IP address and mac in the router ARP table, and install a filter on the switch port going to them that ignores any traffic that originates from a different MAC than the one that you probed from them.

Good day, We are trying to reorganize our local area network and I need some tips on how you are managing your own lan... We have a vanilla pc router with interface facing our private lan and interface facing the Internet. One problem which we are experiencing right now is that any user from private lan can use any ip address he wants. If he boots his computer with a stolen ip address, the poor owner of that machine(not active at the moment) will give automatically up his ip address to this user. The same scenario for public ip addresses. Basically, we need to track down the users through their ip address.. But this is trivial as of now since anyone can use any ip he wants. Even if there is a solution out there to tie up his mac address to his ip address..(sort of checking the mac first before giving him an ip, possibly through dhcp..) still, users can just download applications which will enable him to change his mac address Now, where thinking about authenticating users before he is allowed to use a particular network service(internet proxy, mail etc.) because I guess it is a clever way of keeping the bad users from doing something bad within your network when after all, the reason why he is plugging his lancard to the network is to use a particular service. However, it still doesn't keep them from playing around and steal other ip addresses or mac addresses and thus denying network access to those legitimate owners. I'm thinking about tying dhcp with authentication, and freeradius comes to mind.. I just need some more tips from you. User's workstations are mixed Windows and *nixes.

a few questions and concepts
im still pretty new to freebsd. ive been playing around with the cvsup tools, and they are quite fascinating. i changed my production server from Fedora to FreeBSD 6.0, about 1 day before the most recent sendmail exploit was published (well, published on freebsd.org anyway). i did download the patch and recompile it, but as some have also noted on this list, that it still banners as 8.13.4 when you telnet to it. so, the past couple of days, i have learned to cvsup my /usr/src directories. ive just been using the standard copy of the stable-supfile. i have learned that if i perform the sendmail recompile after the cvsup, that it sendmail seems to proclaim 8.13.6 in the banner. on top of that, i have learned that if i recompile the kernel after cvsup, that it no longer says FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, but FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE. my questions: 1) after cvsup, i think i can assume that sendmail is now compiling from sourcecode that should definatly be free from the current exploit. i would also assume that anything that i would need to recompile from /usr/src should also see the benefit of 'latest source code'? 2) on a production server, should i avoid recompiling a kernel that will be FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE? on the whole, how reliable is the bulk of these newer sources that were pulled down by cvsup? i can definatly see the benefits of using cvsup to take care of problem with some things (like sendmail), but allowing it to update everything under the /usr/src tree, im wondering if i could be setting myself up for issues (by not editing the stable-supfile and taking only what i need). last, im also as well interested in hearing how some of my peers here apply the cvsup concepts to your production servers. thanks for reading, Jonathan Horne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are running RELENG_6 now, which is much more recent than RELENG_6_0_RELEASE. The first one is the top of the 6.X branch, which changes moderately slow, but it *does* change. The 6.0-RELEASE source tree is frozen in time at the point the tag was placed on the source tree. my questions: 1) after cvsup, i think i can assume that sendmail is now compiling from sourcecode that should definatly be free from the current exploit. i would also assume that anything that i would need to recompile from /usr/src should also see the benefit of 'latest source code'? Yes, both true. 2) on a production server, should i avoid recompiling a kernel that will be FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE? on the whole, how reliable is the bulk of these newer sources that were pulled down by cvsup? In general, if you a bit paranoid, you should avoid running RELENG_6 on a production system. At least until you have thoroughly tested it on a test system and found everything working as expected. i can definatly see the benefits of using cvsup to take care of problem with some things (like sendmail), but allowing it to update everything under the /usr/src tree, im wondering if i could be setting myself up for issues (by not editing the stable-supfile and taking only what i need). This is why each FreeBSD release is associated with at least: * A frozen tag, like RELENG_6_0_RELEASE * A security branch, like RELENG_6_0 * A stable branch, like RELENG_6 Changes go very fast in the CURRENT FreeBSD branch. After they settle in for a while, soem of them are backported to the RELENG_X branch. The RELENG_X branch changes much slower than the experimental, CURRENT branch, but it does change every time a new feature is backported to RELENG_X. Then, when security fixes are made available, they are added both to the RELENG_X branch and the RELENG_X_Y security branches. If all you want is the frozen release sources plus changes that are really really necessary, because they fix a serious security bug, you probably want RELENG_X_Y (RELENG_6_0 in this case).

learning to buildworld
i have begun spending a good deal of time researching and practicing the buildworld process on my dev boxes. i want to make sure i have the entire process down pat, before i attempt it on my production server. the handbook states that i should: make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel and then reboot to single usermode. the installworld comes while in single user mode, and my production server would see quite a bit of downtime over this. handbook says to, in sigle user mode: mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster reboot ive seen several articles on the net, and of course, no one agrees on the exact steps to take to update your system. my question is, is it safe to 'mergemaster' and 'make installworld' while still up and running? or do i just need to bite the downtime-bullet, and put it in single user? my server is co-located, so its not exactly convenient to put it in single user mode, so if there is any reason to believe the whole processes can be completed safely without single-user mode, then i will probably try it. thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ideally, on a 1Gbit/s network, the time should be: 65515 x 8 x 2 / (10243) = 0.98 ms (x 2 for the roundtrip signal forth and back and 10243 is the 1G of the network) May I now conclude that the real-time is about two times the ideal-time? I wonder if this indicates a problem of the network? And is this a proper test of this Gbit/s network? Thanks, Rob. PS: I verified my calculation method for two computers here on a 100Mbit/s network, from which I get: time with ping: 12.4 ms ideal calculated time: 10 ms which is an acceptable difference I would suspect that a ping is not a valid test as it does not test throughput and the send and reception phases have a large influence on the out come. Ie, the time for the send and reception to take place is long enough compared to the fast network that the results are skewed. Try an ftp or other non-encrypted data transfer with a large enough file that the startup and wind-down won't affect and skew it. Probably still not a definitive test btw, here is a test of my gbit network using your ping test 15 packets transmitted, 15 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.128/0.227/0.342/0.061 ms a few years back, i had a gigabit fiber switch, and 2 intel gigabit fiber cards that i put in my 2 fastest computers (at the time, dual p3 1000 and dual p3 933). they both had 10k rpm ultra160 SCSI drives. the fastest i could get for continuous transfer (i made some gigantic zip files containing several .iso files) was about 250mbit. jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OT - drives in a RAID5 configuration

memory usage
i have a server that has 2GB ram, recently upgraded from 1GB ram. it runs apache2.0 with php5, sendmail with spamass-milter, dovecot, mysql5.0, cacti, and a couple other small things (like snmp, my bx irc shell, etc). when ever i look at the memory usage (via phpsysinfo, or cacti graphs), its nearly always showing less than 100mb of ram available. top shows several perls (probably spamassassin), 8 or so httpds (typical), but that would probably only account for (a liberal guess) 500-600 mb of ram. is there a good way to find out where this bottomless ram funnel leads to? or, should this behavior just be considered typical? thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would expect a question like this is somewhere in the FAQ. It is typical that you only see a couple of hundred kilobytes of free memory on a (at least a little used) FreeBSD system. The system allocates 'physical' memory as needed (as long as there is some free) and only when there is no free memory, it starts to reuse some of the 'almost' free memory. 'Almost' free memory is mainly disk cache (your buffers). This is nothing to worry about. You can see there is a memory shortage when there is some swapping during normal workload (in top there appears kb in/out on the swap line). It is neither anything to worry about when you have some swap space used - FreeBSD is rather aggresively copying parts of memory to swap when it feels to. As long as it doesn't need to use the data in the swap often it's an optimization - even disk cache is better usage of your memory then inactive parts of your programs' memory. Michal well, i guess my system's top confirms what you say: Swap: 4071M Total, 4071M Free and, i wasnt experiencing any lack in performance, i was just curious. but i admit that i must be forgiven for almost doubting! thanks again, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: New FreeBSD Logo
Greetings: I just looked at the new FreeBSD logo and it's an interesting abstraction of the daemon motif of the old logo. Among other things, like running two installations of FreeBSD v6, one as a production server to host my web site and the other as a desktop and development server, I do fine art and graphics. The logo has an etherial feel to it (forgive the pun). But if someone new to FreeBSD sees the logo and hasn't seen the old logo, he or she might wonder what the cone shaped designs are sticking out of the glass like ball and what they are supposed to represent. So aesthetically it's engaging but too much of an abstraction of the theme. As far as psychology goes, Apple uses the apple with a bite out of it which has a dual significance. One that invokes the idea of giving an apple to the teacher and the other is the Biblical symbol of temptation and transgression. I think that that is why Apple doesn't have a bigger market share. The FreeBSD logo pushes a similar button. The icon of the adversary. I am not offended by the new or the old logo, accept that there seems to be too much of a trend toward cartoon character art. This, I presume is to appeal to the child in us all. But seriously when do we actually get to be grownups. I like FreeBSD. But I wouldn't but a logo sticker on my windshield. I have used Macs from the beginning and don't have a Mac logo sticker on anything, either. I have and use Linux systems and don't particularly care for the cute little penguin either. I have seen a more mature take on the penguin emblem that I was impressed with. It was used by a L.U.G. based in Maryland or thereabouts. I would like to see a mature logo for FreeBSD. Thanks all for being here; Jk i dont mind saying that i think i must be about the only one who likes the new art. i think its very modern looking, crisp and abreviated, un-childish, but at the same time not too serious or ominous. ive actually thought about printing out some examples of both versions, carrying it down to our artists in our print studio, and taste testing them with professional artists who couldnt give one care about anything technical. *shrug* would be an interesting experiment, to say the least. jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: vote for keeping beastie as official logo
If you are as dissatisfied with the new official logo as I am, then forward this email to the FreeBSD federation board of directors at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear FreeBSD federation board of directors: I am upset with the manner in which it was decided that a new logo was needed. Only posting a message that this was happening on the announcement list was an big mistake as it left out the users who promote FreeBSD at the grass roots level from knowing about it. An change of this magnitude should have been broadcast to all lists to get the widest based input possible. I sincerely hope this deception was not on purpose as it looks that way. Furthermore the new logo design is not satisfactory and does not represent the wants of the user community as shown by the multiple posts on the questions list of late. My vote is for keeping the beastie image as the official FreeBSD logo and removing the sex toy logo from publication. you should also note in this letter, that it only applies to people who dont read a minimum of slashdot. *wink* ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Setting Default NIC
I Just upgraded my freebsd machine to a new board, this one has an onboard NIC where as the old one just had a PCI 10/100 nic. I put the old NIC on the new board as well so I can have 2 running out of the machine, but I don't know how to set it so that the onboard NIC (vr0) is the default and the PIC nic (r10) is not, because when I unplug the PCI one all net connectivity shuts down.

i was reading this today, and working on creating a build server: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html the section for ports mentions that the make.conf files need to have DISTDIR and some other things specified in order for it all to work properly. i looked at the example make.conf, but i dont see examples for the settings that are listed in the handbook. can someone point me in the right direction here, so i can sucessfully share my ports folder with others via nfs? thanks jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD as a VPN Server/Router
there is a freebsd based project called pfsense (.org) that would suit your needs perfectly. ive been running it for quite a while now, and i think its the best thing since sliced bread. i have a IPSec WAN between 2 sites (my apt, and my servers that are at a colo). tons of features that are found on other expensive firewalls, are included! cheers, jonathan On Wednesday 09 August 2006 12:33, Odhiambo Washington wrote: I am going to venture into the field of the security gurus so help me God! It looks like I am gonna get stuck in wet cement, I can feel it;) I have two sites, siteA and siteB. Each site has a horde of Windows PCs behind a FreeBSD box, which acts as a firewall/router/proxy/everything:) Each site has got a dedicated connection to an ISP. At the moment it's the same ISP, if that matters, but my thinking is that it can be any ISP. I have a challenge of establishing a WAN between the two sites. They are geographically apart. In this scenario, siteA has several applications running on several windows servers which are behind the FreeBSD box. The challenge is to allow siteB to access these applications securely via the WAN setup. VPN comes straight to mind, but this is a new area to me. The boxes are both FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE. I am looking for pointers/clues on how to do the setup in a clean way, while adhering to K.I.S.S as closely as possible. If extra hardware (other than the FreeBSD boxes) is required so that the WAN is efficient, I'd be happy to know.

Hello When I try to mount the drive with mount_msdos it tells me the filsystem is to big. The drive consists av a single fat32 partition. Windows can access it so it must be possible in FreeBSD too. I read about recompiling the kernel with option MSDOSFS_LARGE. But that option seems to be gone i GENERIC now. Thanks you have to change the MSDOSFS to MSDOSFS_LARGE. i did it on one of my systems, and it works fine (however, ive heard hearsay that its not enabled by default due to stability issues when it has too may files in the filesystem). hth, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Wake on Lan stopped working soon after system upgrade

I've tested my Wakeup system[1] - it is still wakes up my WinXP laptop but won't wake up my FreeBSD[2] box. After checking a few logs it seems I did manage to wake the system up remotely once once after 'make installkernel' and 'make installworld'. The only thing I've changed since then is an upgrade of ports[3]. I have noticed that when my FreeBSD box is shut down, the Ethernet lights are off. I have a feeling that previously the lights may have stayed on when the system was down(?) I've checked the bios[4] settings, it is still set to wake on lan. The LAN port[5] is built into the motherboard. I've had a bit of a look at the ACPI[6] settings in the kernel[7], but nothing's standing out, even after reading the acpi man page.

I would like to put my clients network (they only need to share Internet) on a separate IP network behind a monowall. My question is, will monowall allow a private address (the LAN IP of router) to be its WAN address? Thanks Laurie my firewall is pfSense, which is based on monowall. on pfSense, in order to use a private address on the wan interface, you have to uncheck a box that says block private networks (it even says 'for the purposes of putting the wan interface on a private lan). i would assume due the lineage of pfSense, that monowall likely has a similar feature. hth, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

questions about periodic
i have a couple virtual machines running freebsd 6.1-;4 on a ms vs2005 host, and as of the moment of this writing (and for a while now actually), they are idling at near 0% utilization. but during the nights, they really get going to the point that they ramp the cpu fan speeds to max on the my host box! it takes them hours and hours to quiet back down, sometimes not until i power the virtual machines off and back on again. im wondering if the cause of these early hours cpu hogging could be comming from items running from periodic? i think the daily folder is probably the culprit. is there a good way to see which all scripts are being run, what their scheduling and priority is? i would like to cull out as many as i could live without (if possible). thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

trouble with a pair of bind9 servers
i have 2 servers im working with for a test im doing with bind9. a 6.1-p4,
and a 5.5-p3. both have bind9-9.3.2.1 from ports, without replace base
version checked. both are responding correctly for general lookups of hosts
out on the internet, even based on the querying clients ip vs the acl on the
zones.
the trouble im having is, that my slave (5.5-p3) will not transfer the zone
from the master (6.1-p4). my /var/log/messages is filled with these:

this was giving me the impression that the bind user was not able to write

it just gets changed back:

With office suites like OpenOffice, I felt that I would be able to transition away from Windows with minimal disruption to my business. So, I downloaded the .iso images from FreeBSD, Suse, and Fedora. I initially favored FreeBSD, since it seemed to have the closest lineage to pure Unix, and that was important to me, but after many, many attempts to install both the OS and Gnome desktop environment, I threw up my hands. I'm confused. What compelled you to torture yourself, _then_ complain about it to a list that's sole purpose in existing is to help prevent you from torturing yourself? If you had posted many questions and got no answers, I could understand throwing up your hands. As it stands, you might want to use those hands to smack yourself for making your life more difficult than it needs to be. If you have problems, ask on the list at the time the problem occurs. Complaining after the fact (as you're doing) accomplishes nothing. While I can't speak for the project officially, I would wager to say: 1) We know our installation is not as pretty and easy as others, and 2) We don't care. We are a community. We're not Microsoft. We're not interested in driving users away by saying here's everything you need, don't bother us again. Our limited resources are focused on developing the really important parts of the system. While few would complain if the install process were made easier, nobody has the time to work on it. Become part of the community and ask questions when you have trouble. Find a local user's group. But please, please don't complain about the OS not working right when you use it wrong. The FreeBSD community is an integral part of the OS. Not making use of the FreeBSD community and then complaining that the OS is difficult to use would be like not using a mouse then complaining that MS Windows is hard to use. -- Bill Moran Well said, Sir. truly. indeed it is said, that the fastest way to get the highest quantity of help, is to make a post about how horrible an operating system is, that you spent hours and hours and got nothing done, and that you have already decided that you never want to see [insert OS here] again. myself, as an admin of such a support forum (the unfortunatly now defunct linuxiso.org), i long ago learned to ignore the the ones that we have already lost, and keep my eyes open for the many more that will (usually with minutes) replace them, who are actually there to learn. cheers, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
