If it is cheap enuf, I think it is worth to get it as a standalone DSL modem. The reason I want to install freebsd in one of these DSL modem is because here in Australia ISPs do not lease out their DSL modem to end user. User will end up purchase expensive crapy DSL Modem (eg.

As I have a freebsd gateway used to dail-up pppoe thru an external DSL modem when I was in another country, I want to reconfigure this freebsd router to make it able to handle DSL modem communication. But I need to purchase a DSL modem card for it. If an external DSL modem like Speedtouch is cheap enuf and provide stable system enviornment in the DSL Bridge mode, I would like to purchase one as an external DSL modem. On the other hand, if you know how to configure freebsd with a DSL Modem card in freebsd, please let me know how to do that. And if you also know where to purchase a barebone DSL Modem (without a system) for development purpose (eg. Speedtouch), please also let me know.

Goodell Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:24 AM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Complete Port Removal Question How can I remove a port and all of it's dependencies from a system? For example, I installed sqWebmail and tried it out then decided it's not what we were looking for. Now, I would like to not only remove sqWebmail but all of the stuff it installed along with it. sqwebmail also installed things like: - courier-authlib-base-0.56 - ispell-3.2.06_13 and others as well Is there a safe / quick way to remove the dependencies for a port and not break the rest of the system by removing stuff other things depend on? For example, I don't want to remove Perl obviously which is a dependency of sqwebmail. I guess pkg_delete -r portname is not what he asked for since it well deinstall all those depending on the given package/port. He wants to einstall all those required by the given package/port. for example gmake-3.80_2 # pkg_info -r gmake-3.80_2 Information for gmake-3.80_2: Depends on: Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_1 Dependency: gettext-0.14.4_1 # pkg_delete -r gmake-3.80_2 This well only remove gmake-3.80_2 but not what gmake depends on to run (libiconv and gettext) and to build (libtool) There are alos build dependenies that would not be removed since they are only required to build the package/port but not to run it (libtool for example is required to build gmake but not to run it). I use portupgrade and its tools to install/remove packages/ports. for example if I want to remove gmake and all it's 'RUN' dependencies (libiconv and gettext) # pkg_deinstall -iR gmake This well prompt for each step to remove gmake and ports needed to run it but libtool well not get removed or asked for to be removed since it is not required to run gmake. There are many tools in /usr/ports/sysutils that well help you remove packages/ports not required to run allready installed ports/packages. pkg_cutleaves pkg_rmleaves portmanager portupgrade My favorite all is portupgrade since it has many utilities for example pkg_deinstall Try to install portupgrade then # pkg_deinstall -iR sqwebmail the -i option request confirmation for each package removal The -R option Deinstall all those required by the given packages as well. Aftrer removing sqwebmail it well ask you to remove - courier-authlib-base-0.56 - ispell-3.2.06_13 as well perl and/or other dependencies so don't forget to answer with no for packages you need. -- Kind regards Abu Khaled ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Squid transparent proxy masquerading as Client IPs
Some ISPs use Linux with tproxy kernel patch to masquerade the requests from clients and make them appear as if they came from the client with no proxy connection. After digging around the squid-cache archives and mailing lists, Henrik Nordstrom suggested using tcp_outgoing_address and nat to achieve the same on FreeBSD and Squid in transparent (intercepting mode). The Idea is to assign for each Client a private IP on the Squid Server (as aliases worked fine). In squid.conf we add header_access Via deny all header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all # this removes both headers # and for each client we need acl clientxxx src real ip tcp_outgoing_address private ip clientxxx Squid binds requests from clientxxx's real ip to the private ip then we nat those to the real ip making the request appear as if it came directly from the client not the proxy. To make things easy I used two scripts. 1. I added the add-alias.sh script to /etc/rc.local to create the aliases on startup # add-alias.sh start IP=110 MAXIP=150 PRIV=10.10.10 ALIASIF=Ethernet Interface # I used lo0 to do the aliases on # Also I tested a virtual interface (netgraph) # Just to make sure no conflicts with transparent proxy rules (loops) while [ $IP -le $MAXIP ] do if !( ifconfig $ALIASIF inet $PRIV.$IP netmask 0x alias ) then echo Error Creating Alias $PRIV.$IP on $ALIASIF exit fi IP=$(( $IP + 1 )) done # add-alias.sh end 2. The squid-ipnat.sh script deletes the old ipnat.conf file and creates a new one with rules for the external interface. It also creates 2 files with ACLs for squid I used it once to create the ipnat.conf file and keep it just in case I need to change the IPs (real/private). And the 2 files with ACLs for squid were used to copy and paste the ACLs to squid.conf. Oh ya backup you configuration files just in case. # squid-ipnat.sh start IP=110 MAXIP=150 PRIV=10.10.10 REAL=xxx.xxx.xxx EXTIF=External Interface # I used the external interface for nat cd path to ipnat rm ipnat.conf # carefull deletes old ipnat.conf file rm squid_acl.conf rm squid_tcp.conf while [ $IP -le $MAXIP ] do echo bimap $EXTIF from $PRIV.$IP/32 to 0.0.0.0/0 port = 80 - $REAL.$IP/32 ipnat.conf echo acl Client$IP src $REAL.$IP squid_acl.conf echo tcp_outgoing_address $PRIV.$IP Client$IP squid_tcp.conf # Client$IP is the name for the ACL expands from Client110 to Client150 # squid_acl.conf and squid_tcp.conf end in path to ipnat copy and paste to squid.conf both IP=$(( $IP + 1 )) done # squid-ipnat.sh end As you can see, I used IPNAT's bimap and tested the configuration for 40+ clients. My network is small and I wonder if someone can use this to test a larger network. Also test PF or IPFW/DIVERT/NAT and see what performs better or just for fun. One last note the tcp_outgoing_address does not follow the X-Forwarded-For patch and it caused me to lose my head since I had Dansguardian in front of Squid. The Delay pools followed-X fine and that caused me to think there was a problem with my configuration. After Disabling Dansguardian the configuration worked as expected. So do not wonder if it does not work if you use another proxy before squid. -- Kind regards Abu Khaled ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My guess would be that you did not build/install world/kernel. So the
package system still defaults to your 5.3 release branch. The
sources/ports you updated must be for the development brach
FreeBSD-5.X, also known as FreeBSD 5-STABLE RELENG 5
Check your CVSUP configuration (supfile).
if default tag=RELENG_5 then you are tracking 5.4 STABLE and you need
to buildworld/kernel and install (check the handbook).
If you don't whant to buildworld/kernel then change tag=RELENG_5 to
tag=RELENG_5_3, cvsup again and your sources/ports well be the same
as PACKAGES (the older ones)

thanks your answers. I use the ports-supfile and stable-supfile under

I think I understand what the difference between the pkg_add and make

That is if I want to install the latest version, I should use the make
install or get the xxx.tbz from the freebsd-current directory. Is it
correct?
Could I make the default directory from 5.3-release to 6.0-current by change
one configuration file? If I want to override the default fetching site of
pkg_add command by some faster sites, how can I do?
you need to set PACKAGESITE environment variable
example for i386 and 5.X STABLE
# setenv PACKAGESITE
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/ALL
If it fails I use this one
# setenv PACKAGESITE

it is older than the installation using make install clean

For example, when I use pkg_add xorg, it will install 6.7
version.
When I use make install clean, it will install 6.8.2 version.
How
can I make them to install same versions? Another question is,
when I
install the xorg-clients, it give me a error message that
libc.so.6

fix it? I
had get the latest X11R7-src{1,2,3}.tar.bz2.
My guess would be that you did not build/install world/kernel. So
the
package system still defaults to your 5.3 release branch. The
sources/ports you updated must be for the development brach
FreeBSD-5.X, also known as FreeBSD 5-STABLE RELENG 5
Check your CVSUP configuration (supfile).
if default tag=RELENG_5 then you are tracking 5.4 STABLE and you
need
to buildworld/kernel and install (check the handbook).
If you don't whant to buildworld/kernel then change tag=RELENG_5
to
tag=RELENG_5_3, cvsup again and your sources/ports well be the
same
as PACKAGES (the older ones)
This is flat out wrong. The cvsup of the src tree and the ports tree
are seperate. You would use 2 seperate cvs files.

The ``can't assign resources'' messages indicate that the devices are legacy ISA devices for which a non-PnP-aware driver is compiled into the kernel. These include devices such as keyboard controllers, the programmable interrupt controller chip, and several other bits of standard infrastructure. The resources cannot be assigned because there is already a driver using those addresses. --Garrett Wollman [EMAIL PROTECTED], 24 April 2001 PNP0700 is the Standard floppy disk controller AFAIK if the Floppy Disk is working then these messages do not mean that there is a problem. * I do not know how to disable the message.

Re: Getting current ports and packages.
On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 19:12:39 -0800, Ron Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I posted the following message on [EMAIL PROTECTED], but didn't get a response, so maybe someone here can help: I am trying to figure out why I am not getting the lasted packages. I am trying to get ImageMagick 6.2.0.5, which according to freshports is the latest, but when I do pkg_add -r ImageMagick, I get 6.0.6.2. I searched the ports section on freebsd site and found out the following: ImageMagick 6.2.0.5 is for freebsd 5 4 Stable. ImageMagick 6.0.6.2 is for FreeBSD 5.x Release. an older version is for FreeBSD-4.x Release So which version of FreeBSD are you running? #uname -a The packaging system automaticaly fetches the version suited for your version of FreeBSD. I have run cvsups, which I believe gets me the latest ports, is there an equivalent for packages? I was under the impression that they always got the latest? Yes but only what is suitable for your current FreeBSD system is always installed when you install a port or add package. As far as ports, do I just need to run cvsups to keep it up-to-date? All this is a little confusing: ports, packages, cvsups, portupgrade, etc... :-) Ports need to be built and installed first. Packages are precompiled versions (Binaries) of the Ports. cvsup updates your source/ports/docs. you still need to install the updated versions by your self or you can use portupgrade/portmanager which one you prefer to do this for you. I hope this information helps to understand how things work under FreeBSD. Can someone point me to some clear docs on all this? I have spent hours looks at the freebsd docs, but it's just not clicking for me. I just want to make sure I am running the most recent version of mysql, php4, apache, etc, but am really unclear how to get and upgrade ports and packages. I usually run cvsup daily to update my sources and ports. I don't like to use pre-compiled packages since I use a custom built kernel and the default options used to compile the packages are not allways suitable for my work (I use FreeBSD as a Router , DNS Server BIND , Caching Proxy SQUID). Thats why I use the ports to configure the build options to my needs. Example: cvsup cvsup.conf# to update my sources and ports. portupgrade -an # first i use -an just to check out changes. cd /usr/ports/www/squid # ohh a new version of squid is there!!! make config# to checkout configuration options for Squid. vi Makefile # usally I check the makefile for other options. Finally instead of building/compiling/installing etc... portupgrade -v squid # i use -v because i love to see things as they happen. Or you can use portupgrade -av to update all ports for which a new version exists. People how don't need to compile/install ports just use pkg_add. It all depends on what you have and what you need.

Re: tab completion
I'm not sure if this helps but you can at least try. login as non-root (user) run this command: chsh -s /bin/tcsh you well be prompted for you non-root password logout and login again as non-root and see if it works you can su to root and use use the same command to change the root shell.(sh is recommended for root) I hope it works!!!

Both root and the non-root user's shells are listed in /etc/passwd as /bin/tcsh, so where else would the shell get set? Can I just set all terminals and all users (i.e. me) to have the same shell with the same capabilities? I suspect that /etc/passwd has gotten out of sync with master.passwd. Don't edit /etc/passwd.
