starting daemons at server start
Hi, There are a couple of things that I'm struggling with unsuccessfully. :-( One of them is figuring out how to get daemons to start up when the server starts, or restarts, without having to start them manually. It may be clearly defined in the handbook, but I am inept enough to not see it. This is a configuration in the inetd? Thanks, Micke __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

SAMBA setup
Hi, I've configured SAMBA as well as I could, but am still missing how to get this all set up. Could someone send their config file and drive configuration settings, or whatever? Or just contact me (with a *lot* of patience). Thanks, Micke __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

RE: starting daemons at server start
Right! Ok, it's definitely not inetd that I need. I'm thinking primarily of starting apache and a dynamic ip updater automatically at startup. Micke --- fbsd_user [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe you just don't understand what you are seeing. Inetd is the Super server. Every thing you uncomment in the inetd.conf file is an server of it own right. But instead of an daemon running for telnet or FTP all the time. Inetd runs and listens on the ports where those services would be listings and when inetd sees an request on the specified port it automatically launches the server for that service. With inetd running , ps ax only shows inetd running, but start an telnet session to your box and you will see that inetd has spawned an telnet server session. When your telnet users leaves the session, the telnet server terminates. Inetd is used to conserve resources. __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

sharing files with windows systems was Re: SAMBA setup
As a stop gap, I'd even be glad for info on seting up ftp'ing with the windows machines on my LAN. Right now I am ftp'ing to and from my ISP webspace.

RE: starting daemons at server start
If there is something that is done automatically, I swear my karma is that it won't be done! I did do a port apache install. And right, I don't remember that being asked. I'm assuming there's an easier way to get this set up besides redoing the install. Examples of this script(working :-))?

RE: starting daemons at server start
Hi Subhro :-), Good information. After checking, I didn't have the local_startup line in my /etc/rc.conf file. This didn't work on restarting just now, but I added the line pointing to the rc.d apache dir where I had added the file apache.sh earlier (below). Still had to start apache by hand. I don't know if the script is correct, because there was no example script and I changed the script from another daemon. If so, I'm still missing something. Micke #!/bin/sh echo -n ' Apache' case $1 in start) /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start ;; stop) /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop ;; *) echo Usage: 'basename $0' (start|stop) 2 exit 64 ;; esac exit 0 --- Subhro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Micke, Well there are quite a few ways in which you can start a daemon automatically. I would brief them for you. The most common daemons like sshd, apmd check the /etc/rc.conf for start commands. So if you want to start sshd at startup just put a line sshd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf and you will be back in business. For a list of all the daemons which can be started from rc.conf, refer to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. But DON'T modify that file. Instead copy that file to /etc and change it there if you don't have rc.conf in /etc initially. /etc/rc.conf overrides anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. The next common procedure of starting daemons in from within the inetd superserver.Inetd works as: it does not start the daemon initially. Instead it starts listening on the port which the daemon is supposed to listen on. For example if you are planning to start telnetd from inetd, then after the system startup, inetd will listen on port 23 and start up telnetd only when it senses someone knocking on port 23. In this way you can save on system resources by not starting the services unless you need them. For the inetd to waork you need to include a like inetd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf. However inetd has its cons as well. If you have a very busy webserver (for instance) and plan to start httpd (the webserver daemon) from inetd, then the overhead will be very high as inetd spawns a separate process for each incoming request. So sys-admins consider running daemons as staanalone. When you install some daemon like apache (for example) then you will find a startup file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. Most likely it would be names as daemon_name.conf.sample. Change the name to daemon_name.conf and change the permissions to 755 while you are logged in as root. At every boot the script will be called with a start argument which will start the service and at every shutdown it will be called with a stop argument. I would not give you a prize if you manually call the script with start, stop and restart arguments :-). The last but not the least. You can also start services from within crontab. But that's too cumbersome. Hence I don't like it. Refer to this page if you want to know how. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-start ing-services.html I hope I have answered some of your queries.

RE: starting daemons at server start
Woohoo! I changed the permissions on my apache shell
file and presto- apache now starts on rebooting!
Thanks very very much all of you for your very good
help. That's one less thing to be frazzled about.

Re: Trying to see website from the Internet
hi, In order to eliminate the router as a cause, I made a direct connection from the DSL to the computer (no router). But I wasn't able to reach the DSL modem page from my FreeBSD box. So I installed Apache on my Windows box and ran the line to it. I am able to see the running website from the ISP-assigned LAN in this case, but still not able to reach it from the ISP-assigned dynamic IP. This leads me to believe that the problem has nothing specific to do with settings on the FreeBSD box or the router. The Windows box has no firewall, so there's no issue of blocked ports, I guess. I keep thinking it's the ISP, since I don't really understand how requests could / or could not go from the dynamic IP to the ISP-assigned LAN IP without their router or whatever.

Trying to see website from the Internet
Hi, I'm having all kinds of trouble trying to get things set up to see my website on the Internet. I know people like to claim to be newbies, but I actually am. :-) My machine (ethernet card) IP is 192.168.254.25 and I'm serving on port 8080. I can bring up the site no problem on my LAN- http://192.168.254.25:8080/, but not outside. My ISP is earthlink and it's a dynamic IP account. Right now the WAN IP is: 68.164.84.178. Trying http://68.164.84.178:8080/ doesn't work. I've opened the port, 8080, on the router. What should I look at to solve this? I have unsuccessfully scoured the complete freebsd book, handbook, and archives. But haven't found anything to address this specific problem yet, although it seems straightforward. If you think I don't understand networks exactly, you are correct; but it's not for lack of trying. Thanks for help, Micke __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

This is not an direct answer to your question, but if you're using a dynamic IP I suggest you go to, for an example DynDNS, and get a name for your site. After that you should install some kind of daemon that updates (in this case) DynDNS to reflect your dynamic IP-changes. In that way you should always be able to connect to your box! But all that I guess you've already figured out. :-) Thanks. Yes. I have a domain. But setting it up doesn't do any good since there is no IP it can connect to. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
