FreeBSD Easy Server
Hi! I 'm currently using SME (www.e-smith.org) as server at home. After reading some docs on the net and having heavy troubles with Linux, I decided to turn this server to a FreeBSD server. I've done a deep search on google and can't find any distribution like SME but FreeBSD based. Actually, for those who do not know SME, it's a distribution based on RedHat and basically it can install a complete server in 10-15 minutes. Do you guys know anything like that but FreeBSD based ?

Re: FreeBSD Easy Server
I think you're missing the point. If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. If you want to run a server, you can't take a default configuration. I'm not missing anything. I think we didn't understand eachother. If there's something in the Red Hat setup that you particularly liked, please tell us about it. But so far you've just said I want it better. So do we. The first thing I said is I have a server at home which is SME and it is a distribution that stand on one CD and it can install a full server (IMAP,POP,SMTP,DNS,HTTP,FTP,SSH,) in 10-12 minutes .. Then you have a web interface to configure your server. I was trying to find the same kind of distribution but FreeBSD (or any other BSD) based.. That's all. Then someone suggested to make my own server. And I said the main problem in doing my own server is to make correct firewall rules. I never said that I want it better.

Re: FreeBSD Easy Server
E.. The only real benefits you get from a firewall are: 1) controlling which IP addresses can access a service 2) *maybe* bandwidth shaping. *maybe*. 3) packet re-writing. That's all ? I thought the firewall was THE thing to have when you have a server which is running 24 jours a day, 365 days per year! I'm considering myself as a newbie under FreeBSD for the moment so I may be wrong about the next point but what you telling me is that I can restrict access to certain services to certains IPs ? So I would use the config file of each service to say this one can access, let's samba .. this one cant (interfaces=... in smb.conf if I remember correctly). They are Linux (ouch :D) distributions that are only firewall and don't run any other services (like smoothwall if I'm right). So a distribution like this one is superfluous for users like me ? I own swissgeeks.com and need a little bit of security. Got a lot of stuff running on this server and if I'm switching to FreeBSD I have to be sure I won't get hacked, though it's always possible. Let's say I'd like the same security as SME provides me for the moment. As known, 1 year and a half and no problem!

Re: FreeBSD Easy Server
Pierrick, It sounds like what you want to do is get a basic install of a machine as fast as possible, and have it secure. Let's say I want to change for many reason. The first one is flexibility! I have the time to make a basic install and then install each package I do want. Last time I tried, I had my ADSL connection running fine, Firewall configured (almost everything closed), DHCPd, HTTPd, FTPd, SSH and DNS (was trying BIND and djbdns). Then I saw I didn't have much time to continue.. I had troubles with the firewall customization, samba was always giving errors, had issues with djbdns.. wanted to get back to BIND but a bunch of people told me djbdns is the one I should take. Then someone told me it's for professional and I had to use BIND. I was really lost so I backuped /etc/ and some other stuff and put the machine in a cupboard at home... And 1-2 months later I was posting here to find a flexible and easy to install complete freebsd server. But I was wrong :D Have to give me time to make this damn server work I think!

The management software presents users with a simplified user interface and automatically configures the server applications as necessary. -- When you install a server, *you* should pick which packages to install.

running 24 jours a day, 365 days per year! French into my sentence :D made a mistake heheh! Meant 24 hours a day.. I don't mean any disrespect Pierrick, but it sounds like you're following what other people are telling you without really understanding it. I totally agree with you. I have been using unix likes for some years now but never had luck to really go deep into it! Meaning I never developped an application which uses system calls. I never developped a driver or helped to.. never debugged the kernel. Never installed a full server on my own (except some small servers for work.. like a FTP HTTP with MRTG server..) I always used unix likes as workstation and tried (but always failed) to make my own server! this would allow netbios connections to port 137 for the ip address 12.34.56.1, but deny it to everyoen else. See? No firewall needed :-) ehehe I didn't know it was possible to go that far! The best way around this is to always keeps your installations up to date. Eg when a new apache version is released, I normally install withing 2 or 3 days after testing it on a spare machine. It's not really a problem!

Didn't even ask the guy to send 'em over but as soon as they are on my server (the webpage+driver) I'll try 'em ! Alec if you need any help just tell me I'll be there to try to help :) -- Pierrick Brossin IT Swiss - QUARK Media House 6a Puits Godet, 2000 Neuchatel, Switzerland Mail Prof: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Priv: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Logitech USB Keyboard
Hey! I wanted to install 5.0 on my workstation but the Logitech USB Keyboard doesn't work. It was the same thing on 4.7 and never figured out how to make it work. It's a black Logitech Elite Keyboard with special things on it like a scroll or special buttons. Anyone have one working ?

SCSI AHC 2940
Hi! I've been trying to solve a SCSI problem by myself for quiete a long time now. I'm not able to install FreeBSD on this machine with a AHC 2940 card and a 9Gb HD. (even tried linux to be sure it wasn't freebsd driver that was screwed up) So today I tried the following: use an IDE 8Gb HD to install FBSD 5.0 and then plug the SCSI drive to create a partition and mount it. Everything went smooth until I started copying file to the mount point of the 9Gb SCSI HD. I first copied /bin to /newhd and it did it without any trouble. I was really suprised that it was working so I decided to copy something bigger to make sure it was NOT working :) So I copied /usr to /newhd and it crashed. I was pretty sure the errors messages would be in /var/log/messages so I rebooted the computer and saw that I was completely wrong. Actually it started copying file and ended with a bunch of errors followed by a disk syncing (like when you shut down your comp). I have already tried to change the cable so it should no be the problem. Now, is there a way to log the error messages so I can tell you exactly what I get so you can (maybe and hopefully) help me ?

Re: SCSI AHC 2940
Quoting Daxbert [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Do you have an extra computer, null modem cable? If so, hook up the extra computer to the serial port of your freebsd box, enable logging via your terminal program of choice, then repeat whatever steps are needed. I need help on that one. Could you be more accurate please? I don't see how I have to do. Which program ? Thanx While the system is POST'ing you should see something about Adaptec yada yada. Hit Ctrl-A, to bring up the Adaptec BIOS settings, and make sure the termination is set properly. Since you only have one drive, you should have termination enabled on both the card and the drive. In the SCSI Card BIOS I have termination ENABLED and I have an hardware Termination at the end of the SCSI cable! After setting the termination properly, run a verify media test. Media test works OK. No problem detected!

Okano Mouse
Hey! It's been now a lng while that I'm trying to make my stupid mouse's wheel work under XFree on FreeBSD (tried on 4.7 and 5.0). It's an Okano TM-512 mouse. I received that mouse from someone who got it in Germany and it seems it's impossible to find Okano's website! So I assume it's some kind of working/cheap/unknown mouse :) I tried the ZAxisMapping trick, I tried to set the mouse up in rc.conf and use sysmouse in X config file. And a lot of other stuff! Do you have any advise or thing I could test to make the wheel work ? Are there cases where it's impossible to make it work ? Thanks ps: I tried the mouse under winblows at work and the wheel works. -- Pierrick Brossin IT Swiss - QUARK Media House 6a Puits Godet, 2000 Neuchatel, Switzerland Mail Prof: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Priv: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Okano Mouse
Hi! First of all, thanx for your answer! Doesn't really matter, most weird-brand PS/2 mice these days either use some odd Logitech or MS IntelliMouse Explorer PS/2 compatible protocol. I have a Sahara mouse (completely unknown outside South Africa) which works perfectly. Hope mine will have the wheel working someday :) #/etc/rc.conf: moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto moused_flags=-z 4 Should the mouse's wheel work on console ? Because I can move the cursor (as I could before) but the wheel is not working... Pay special attention to the -z flag, you'll see why just a few paragraphs down... I checked the man! #/etc/X11/XF86Config: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Buttons 7 Option SampleRate 1500 Option Resolution 1024 EndSection Wheel still not working under X. The sample rate and resolution tweaks are there because my mouse is optical, and they help a great deal. If your mouse is optical, check its manual for optimal settings, if it's rubber ball mechanics, you should be able to take those out completely. I received no manual with it. It's real some kind of noname hardware! Note the absence of ZAxisMapping. This is because it's nolonger needed if you pass the -z switch to moused(8), which is the proper way of doing this on BSD these days. A setting of -z 4 means to map buttons 4 and 5, you can have finer controle over this too, check the moused(8) man page for details. OK Didn't know that! Thanx again and hope someone will be able to help :) -- Pierrick Brossin IT Swiss - QUARK Media House 6a Puits Godet, 2000 Neuchatel, Switzerland Mail Prof: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Priv: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Okano Mouse
Hey! Wheel still not working under X. Weird... Does the output from dmesg mention the mouse at all? Maybe we can identify it from there... Ok, while I was in the train I thought I forgot to tell you something :) The computer in question is a SONY laptop which has a touchpad and I'm connecting the new mouse to the PS2. So I think XFree doesn't the external mouse but the mouse can send signal. no ? My touchpad has two real buttons but no scroll. Only the external mouse has a scroll. That's maybe why ! Any idea ?
