RE: VPN server
I am looking for some recomendations for a powerful (yet simple if possible) VPN server. You have two options, there is 'mpd' and 'PoPToP'. I have run them both, but mpd seems to support Microsoft clients with less hassle (at least in my experience). At present I will need to only have access to one other network in a different office running Win2K PPTP. Hopefully I will need to expand in the future to other networks that may or may not be MS based. This can be done using ip routing. You can create a static route between the two networks on the PPTP server and client. The windows client will get its configuation data from the VPN Server (FreeBSD). However, You may want to add a static route to FreeBSD that will send remote LAN specific traffic down the VPN link. Pretend that your remote network in the office is numbered 192.168.20.1/24. myUnix# route add -net 192.168.20 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0 One other thing to disable (its on by default) is that the Windows implimentation of the VPN client will route all traffic over the VPN. I doubt that this is what you want, and you can disable it in the VPN/PPTP connection properties on the windows machine. In Windows XP Professional, I do the following. Open the VPN Connection Properties. Select the Networking Tab. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties. Click on Advanceed. Uncheck Use default gateway on remote network. Both products (mpd and poptop) will work, but they both require a little bit of configuration. The current mpd in the ports tree has some examples you may want to look at. I would like if possible for the connections to be completly transparent to a user. Best case senario is the user signs on to thier FreeBSD (I am in a mixed network so there are a few XP systems also) system and opens up an application (or browse to a share on the other network) that connects to the other network and it connects without any more user intervention. Well, if you have a FreeBSD box in both places, there are lots of other options as well. My friend Nick runs a FreeBSD machine and we use a 'gif' tunnel (IPv4 over IPv4) with IPSec encrypting the data before it goes over the wire. There other solutions as well such as 'nos-tun'. I think that 'nos-tun' is part of the base installation and uses the 'tun' device (part of the GENERIC kernel) by default. LOL I am not asking much am I? Not at all. '-questions' is a good place for this question. In fact if you search through the archives, I have posted similar VPN questions in the past to this same list.

RE: strange ping behavior
check this out - I have a fbsd 4.6 box on my network, as well as a fbsd5.1 box and several XP boxes. I have a netgear router/firewall (also does dhcp and print server) box as well. The 4.6 box is set up on the network, the netgear dhcp server finds the box, as well as the 5.1 box, so they are 'talking' on the network. The 4.6 box cannot ping anything. I get this error - ping: sendto: permission denied I get this message if I have disabled ICMP via the firewall. If you have one running, make sure that your allowing ICMP through it. This should be as easy as ipfw 1 add allow icmp from any to any. from any box I try to ping the 4.6 box, and the ping just times out. The 5.1 box works fine. The 4.6 box used to work fine, and was serving web pages, it has apache/php/mysql installed. It went down when the power went out, and since has had the connection problems. Any ideas?

RE: Dialup firewalling with FreeBSD
Hello, I followed this doc to install my firewall. Upon reboot I get about 12 lines more or less like this: ipfw: size mismatch (have 176 need..) It also says that dev tun0 doesn't exist. Does the tun0 device exist after boot? If so, I have faced a similar problem in the past. However, I did have some people at a SeaFUG (now SeaBUG) meeting come up with a solution. I basically had to open the tun0 port before ipfw got started. I can past in the examples if you need them. (if you have tun0 after boot) And allthough dmesg showed several errors, the firewall did work as expected. I, perhaps like you, dont like looking at errors. How do I correct this. Do you have pseudo-device tun in your kernel config file? Is it remmed out? I am not sure if GENERIC has it or not.

Broken gif interface for IPV4 over IPV4 tunnel on FreeBSD 4.5-Release-P6
Hello Questions List, (please cc, as I may not be on this list, (Too many daily messages)) I have previously setup a gif interface on a box called GM using pseudo-device gif. I have tried several things to get the gif interface back up and working. I will list them all in this email. On an other note, the kernel source files used to be located in the default /usr/src/sys/ have been moved to /a/usr/src/sys/ (RAID5 on 3ware IDE RAID controller). If anyone is interested in the details of the move I can paste them in if people are intersted. And for the conveiniance of the person that has physical access to the box, I symlinked /a/usr/src/sys to /usr/src/sys . The kernel was rebuilt the other day to add in support for IPSEC and IPSEC_ESP to encrypt the connections. Since rebuilding gif device no longer works. I have tried removing the IPSEC stuff and rebuilding and go figure the gif device still doesnt work. So I broke it, tried removing my changes, and its still broken. I double-checked and pseudo-device gif is still in the kernel config file. I want to make it clear to everyone that I did have this working in the past. I also dont have physical access to the box, so an upgrade is not possible. (Plus, why upgrade something that has worked in the past.) And now for the problem: gif0 does not show up in ifconfig, so I have tried creating the device with methods that work on three other FreeBSD boxes (4.8-stable from July 29th, 2003, and two 4.7-release boxes) GM# ifconfig gif0 create ifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist Greenmantis# gifconfig gif0 local.public.ip.address remote.public.ip.address gifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist Greenmantis# ifconfig gif0 inet 10.1.1.2 192.168.0.2 ifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist Where as on all of my other boxes, I dont get gifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist. It just silently creates the device and returns me to the prompt. I am really currious about why it worked before, but doesnt work now.

But for this to work you need to uncomment the last line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config. You will also want to make sure your kernel contians the line options XSERVER (no quotes). For this to work, you should: 1. On the FreeBSD box, modify /usr/X11R6/bin/startx. Change the line listen_tcp=-nolisten tcp to listen_tcp= Not sure that this is needed, I have never changed it. However I share x-windows using XDM. 2. Also on the FreeBSD box, run xhost: xhost openbsd Guessing that xhost is kind of like the configurations of an X server. This applies to any other X application as well, of course. If you enable xdm (X Display Manager) X-Windows will become an X-Server for every computer on your network.

RE: BTX Halted and Fatal Trap 12 errors on older machine
I've got this spare machine, and I thought it would be perfect as a FreeBSD box to play with. It's a P-100mHz, with 32MB RAM, floppy, video card, two PCI NICs, 50X CDROM, 40GB Western Digital hard drive, and one IDE controller. However, I can't boot at all from any bootable FreeBSD ISO (tried 4.5,4.6,4.7, and 5.0). I can boot RedHat, Windows, and NetBSD cds though. When I try to boot from CD, I get a BTX Halted error message right away, before the hardware even gets probed. I tried changing every BIOS setting possible, but the FreeBSD ISO's just don't work on this system. Anyone have any ideas why I would get this error? So, I then used the bootable floppies and successfully started sysinstall. Each of about 25 installation attempts failed at different points with Fatal Trap 12 errors. Installations failed during sysinstall extracting files, and during Gnome or KDE installation, either installing from CD or FTP. Sometimes installation would successfully complete, I would reboot, login, do some stuff, and then another Fatal Trap 12 error would appear. This occurred while installing various packages, while upgrading ports tree with cvsup, and during compiling/installation of various ports. The only thing that seems to be a common thread is that the Fatal Trap 12 errors occur during heavy disk read/write periods. Memtest-86 showed no memory errors at all, and I ran a disk utility to check for badblocks on hd, and the drive is healthy. I'm pretty sure that the BTX errors and the Fatal Trap 12 errors are probably not related... They could be. Before I spend more time on this dang machine, does it sound like there is something that I can work around these problems with? Or should I just forget about this miserable thing? There are a few things that might be causing this. To me, allthough I am not a motherboard expert, sounds like you may be having some difficulties with your motherboard. There are a few things that you can try before giving up on FreeBSD. Avoid overclocking your CPU. You may also try underclocking it and seeing if that fixes your BTX halted messages. Also, the fact that you have tried FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x shows me that its not specific to any version of FreeBSD. For example FreeBSD 5.0 accesses parts of the mainboard differently by using ACPI. Since this is an older mainboard, you may have to look up some settings and move some jumpers around on the mainboard for this. There are a few other mainboard things that could be affecting the installation (or lack there of). One of them is RAM, are your memory sticks showing signs of errors? I have had Windows 2000 install but run poorly in the past, whereas FreeBSD failed. After replacing the RAM in the system, FreeBSD installed and worked fine. I have not run Windows 2000 on that box since, so I am not sure if that fixed some of Windows 2000's problems. Also, you can try to load the failsafe configuration settings in your bios. (if they are available) I am sure some other people on this list can offer some other, and perhaps better advise. Thanks, No problem, thats what some of us are here for. Trying hard to use freebsd...

RE: Mirroring/load-balance two servers
Does anyone know if there is a simple way to mirror two servers without spending $ on hardware? I'm NOT talking about mirroring the OS and the files, I'm talking about sending http requests to a second server if the first server is down/un-reachable. This is sometimes referred to as load-balancing. The second server doesn't have to be updated in realtime, it just needs to have a fairly current version of the data files of the main server. So, for example if the main server goes off line for any reason, then web pages would be served up from the second server instead. Can this be accomplished with DNS? To my knowlege, yes. Lets say you had a server called www. You would just give it two addresses in your domain configuration files. www IN CNAME 12.34.56.78 www IN CNAME 9.10.11.12 www IN CNAME 65.4.3.21 The DNS standard will give out a different address for every query. To get the address 12.34.56.78 twice, you would have to make 4 unique queries for the server records. One good example of this is to look at www.yahoo.com in nslookup. Default Server: localhost.jupiter.sol Address: 127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com Server: localhost.jupiter.sol Address: 127.0.0.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name:www.yahoo.akadns.net Addresses: 216.109.125.73, 216.109.125.70, 64.58.76.223, 216.109.125.72 216.109.125.67, 216.109.125.65, 216.109.125.66, 64.58.76.227, 64.58.76.228 216.109.125.71, 64.58.76.230, 216.109.125.69, 64.58.76.225 Aliases: www.yahoo.com Jonas Fornander - System Administrator Netwood Communications, LLC - www.netwood.net Find out why we're better - 310-442-1530 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

RE: Hooking 2 Networks
Subject: Hooking 2 Networks
I have two separate connections to the Internet with static
IPs and two separate networks. Each network has an internal
FBSD Gateway/NAT/caching DNS connected to the backbone
each have a separate LAN subnet (192.168.0.x on one and
10.0.0.x on another). The default router for each LAN is
its internal Gateway machine, so they know which GW to use
to get out to the Net. Each also operates web mail
servers. Each have their own switches from the Gateway
machine cabled to the servers/workstations.
This is possible and easy, it will however become a problem
if your machines are getting thier ip addresses via DHCP.
There may be a better way. (see below)
You may find it more conveinient to attach one box to both
networks. The most simple solution would be to attach both
gateways to both networks. But dont attach the networks
together. Doing it this way avoids cable usage, and ethernet
broadcasts dont have to be advertized on both networks.
You also will not have to worry about setting up a specific
routes on each client. And because both routers will have
addresses on both networks they will auto-forward packets
between the two networks.
The following is my idea of what your network looks like
now:
{192.168.0.0}--[freebsd gateway]--{internet conn1}
(10.0.0.1}--[freebsd gateway]--{internet conn2}
And what you want to do would be the following:
{192.168.0.0}--[freebsd-gateway]--{internet conn1}
(link)
{10.0.0.0}--[freebsd gateway]---{internet conn2}
This will simplify the number of hops between the boxes
and you will get much higher speeds. And if you attach
the two FreeBSD boxes to both networks, you can still
safely use DHCP for providing IP addresses to the
clients.
I would like to hook the two networks together via the
switches I assUme I do this by running a cable from
the one switch to the uplink on the other???
Is my assumption correct?
Yes, this will work, but you may want to simply attach
both gateways to the two networks.
I would like to have all machines have direct fast
access via the internal NW cables for NFS access.
Attaching both unix boxes to both networks will solve
this for you.
As simple as this sounds, I have not found anything
anywhere about hooking 2 networks together and if
there is any problems. Guess I could just hook up
and try it, but rather double-check with some one
who has a similar setup -- or point me to a URL
(I've googled, visited the networking and router sites
- none talk about directly hooking 2 NWs).
Appreciate any replies. thanks!
No problem, let us know if you wish to continue this.
Lots of people on this list can provide good advise.

How did you link the two machines? I have 2 NICs
in each box - 1 for external and 1 for internal.
In my case I just an other ethernet card.
Which would bring the total number of network cards to 3
instead of 2. This unfortunatly means that (with this
plan) you would need an other network connection between
the two machines.
Assume the following:
FreeBSD Machine on 192.168.0.0
ethernet to 192.168.0.0
ethernet to FreeBSD Machine 10.0.0.0
internet connection
FreeBSD Machine on 10.0.0.0
ethernet to 10.0.0.0
ethernet to FreeBSD Machine 192.168.0.0
internet connection
And you can buypass a hub/switch by using a
cross-over cable. A cross over cable is simply
an ethernet cable that maps outbound (TX RX)
to incomming (RX TX).
Just have those two questions above inline. thanks again.
Well, I seem to have answered at least one, whats the

RE: XDM on multiple virutal X screens ( ALT-F9,ALT-F10...)
(snip) You have searched well enough. I remember playing with this for about a week in the past. (when I first got it working). Its amazing how easy the change is to make though. There are a few good reasons I can think of. Simply running an other instance of X-Windows takes up more resources. Most just run virtual-desktops to get around problems like this. Perhaps folk does not like to run it for some reasons. But If i want it to get it running on diffrent screens I have to edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config I guess and add the other graphic card there, and so forth. Adding the other entry to XServers does not have anything to do with running it on multiple monitors. There are three connectivity sections to every X window. Adding a line to Xservers (to my knowlege) does not have anything to do with running on two different monitors in a dual-head'd configuration. A second monitor/display would show up as :0.1, :1.1, etc. A third monitor would be :0.2 or :1.2, etc. Also note that the lack of a host name tells the X-Windows system to find the best way of communicating with the localhost. There are several other ways of communicating with the X-Server including UNIX sockets, IPX, etc. A simple way to remember it is Hostname:Window:Screen.

Their network design supports no more than 16 hops on the way to a DHCP server, but increasing the (hard-coded) TTL (at line 159 in /usr/src/contrib/isc-dhcp/common/packet.c) can help fix the problem. 99.9% of users are no more than two hops from the DHCP server. 16 hops seems way too high. But perhaps your isp doesnt agree with my observations. I would like to manually try to connect to my isp before i try changing the code for DHCP. I got my network info from my lrp operating system. I would like to switch that to bsd. can i use traceroute to find out the number of hops i am currently taking to get to my isp's dhcp server? Yes, you can. The lease information should be in /var/db/dhclient.leases . manual configuration ifconfig_rl0=inet 66.41.139.87 netmask 255.255.248.0#66.41.139.87/21 ifconfig_rl1=inet 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 default_router=66.41.136.1 rl0 default_router=192.168.1.254 rl1 If this info is in your rc.conf file, you will want to comment out the second default router (rl1). Ethernet hosts dont need additional routes to be set up to communicate with other hosts on the same chunk of your ethernet. domain the-matrix.net nameserver 63.240.76.19 nameserver 204.127.198.19 Are you serving out a domain called the-matrix.net? Are you running your own DNS server? is there anything else i need to manually connect to my isp? That depends on how they want to authenticate thier users. If they are using PPPoE then yes. If not, then it should work fine now. I think removing the second instance of default_router from your rc.conf file will fix the communication issues. thanks, Thats what we are here for. brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
RE: isp connection woes
(snip) You asked if you can ping your DHCP server Don't see why not, assuming: 1) The DHCP server returns icmp echo requests 2) You know the IP of the DHCP server manual configuration ifconfig_rl0=inet 66.41.139.87 netmask 255.255.248.0 #66.41.139.87/21 If you are using DHCP you will want to set this to ifconfig_rl0=DHCP ifconfig_rl1=inet 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 default_router=66.41.136.1 rl0 This should be: defaultrouter=66.41.136.1 I agree. default_router=192.168.1.254 rl1 ^ This is wrong.

The default routes have nothing to do with how many networks you are attached to. I am sure you are correct, I guess i just don't understand why. is there a way i can find out the ip addr of my dhcp server? Yes, see /var/db/dhclient.leases . Dont worry that there are serveral different addresses in there. dhclient just appends the current lease to the end of the file. does this even work: default_router=192.168.1.254 rl1 I dont think that it does. You can find out by typing 'netstat -r'. It will give you a listing of your IP routes. Thanks again for the help, Brian Once again, thats what we are here for.

RE: Verizon DSL FreeBSD?
(snip) I also don't user Verizon for an ISP because they don't permit local servers. Not true at all. i'm guessing you're talking about the inconvenient way some Cable/DSL ISPs block incoming connections on common server ports (25, 80)? Verizon DSL does not block port 25 in the NorthEast. Port 80 appears blocked (Bah!), but they claim they don't block any ports. I was told it could be the DSL modem (Westell Wirespeed A90-210015-D4), but as far as I can tell, it isn't configurable, and doesn't block ports anyway. Odd thing is that the port 80 trace stops at the modem. I've never been able to figure this out. I am also a Verizon DSL customer. They have given me a similar model of the wirespeed dsl access point. They gave me a Westell Inc A90-210015-04 and do not block any ports period. Next month, Comcast (formerly ATT Broadband (formerly MediaOne Broadband)) is supposed to turn on the digital upgrades in my area, so I'm probably going to switch over. Oh, and BTW, other than port 80, Verizon DSL/PPP works great with FreeBSD. They dont block 80 on my box, allthough that might be a config setting not set in my area.

If you dont, and it lists files, then repost to this list and re-describe what is exactly going on. If you get the message then use format c: /s.

RE: Problems with a C application that changes users and run 'screen -x'
You're not running the executable as `root'. Since you are not the
superuser, you do not have permissions to operate on the pseudo-tty
that login attempts to work with, and this is why you get the
following error message:
This is as I expected. And I dont know of a way to get around
it.
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/ttyp0' - please check.
Three possibilities that you might wish to investigate further are:
1. Write a shell script that does the equivalent of the system() call
you are using now. This should be fairly easy and will work fine
if you execute the script from a root shell.
I dont think that this will work. The super-user has nothing to do
with the process that needs to be run. The user that logs in is not
privliged, and the account that he is becomming is not privlidged
either.
2. Fix your program by removing the bad use of `'.
Done. Thanks for the comment on this. I noticed a warning from g++ about
this today.
3. Avoid using system() which I vaguely recall being described with a
lot of bad words in various places and use fork(), exec(), _exit(),
waitpid() and exit() instead.
How would I do this with exec. According to the man page for exec
I have only a few options.
int execl(const char *path, const char *arg, ...);
int execlp(const char *file, const char *arg, ...);
int execle(const char *path, const char *arg, ...);
int exect(const char *path, char *const argv[],
char *const envp[]);
int execv(const char *path, char *const argv[]);
int execvp(const char *file, char *const argv[]);
Can you point me to the right documentation to learn about
the exec functions provided by unistd.h?
Allthough I am not familiar with unistd.h at all, I did do
a little bit of expermentation.
Here is my new code:
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include unistd.h
int main(int argc, char* pszArgs[])
{
int result, result2;
result= execlp(/usr/bin/su, ppp, -m);
result2=execlp(/usr/local/bin/screen, -x);
return result + result2;
}
bash-2.05$ g++ run-ppp.c
bash-2.05$ ./a.out
bash-2.05$
I am a little supprised that nothing appeared to have happened.
Perhaps I am running these improperly. Am I using the correct
exec command? Can you demonstrate how this should work?
What else could execlp(args) needs to say?
