 Not that I know of given a constraint of completely disjoint networks.

 hack.

If it's two completely disjoint networks, the two networks don't use
overlapping IP space and the IP space on at least one of the networks
is known, then just use standard routing.  put in static routes for
the known space and a default route on the other interface for the
unknown space.

If the two networks are using overlapping space, then the only way to
differentiate the packets are which interface they came in... then
you'll have to use a PF hack.

Re: Is it a good idea to use DHCP for point to point connections ?

2010-10-13 Thread Elliot Finley
we did this with DSL customers.  But instead of using a unique gateway for
each Client, just use IP Unnumbered and proxy arp for your loopback
interface.

On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 9:02 AM, Jerome Herman jher...@dichotomia.frwrote:

 Hello,

 Given the price (an tedious management) of layer 3 switches I was thinking
 about using modified DHCP to distribute addresses with a /32 netmask
 (255.255.255.255)

 The Idea : Create a cheap (and preferably not dirty) way to have client
 isolation, without creating tons of vlan.

 Pratictal overview : The DHCP server will be serving IP addresses and
 gateways with a /32 mask.
 Client1 would recieve IP adress of 241.0.0.1 with a netmask of
 255.255.255.255 and a gateway of 240.0.0.1
 Client2 would recieve IP adress of 241.0.0.2 with a netmask of
 255.255.255.255 and a gateway of 240.0.0.2
 Client3 would recieve IP adress of 241.0.0.3 with a netmask of
 255.255.255.255 and a gateway of 240.0.0.3
 etc.

 Of course the gateway will have to have as many IP as there are clients
 (Unless I am mistaken)

 The questions :
 - Is there something similar already existing ? It must not require any
 configuration on the client side other than activating DHCP.
 - Would this work ? I do not see why it would not, though I am a little
 anxious about having tens of point to point connections going to the same
 physical port.
 - I could not find anything forbidding it in RFC2131, but then again I
 might be wrong. Am I ?
 - One problem remains that is solved by vlan isolation but not by DHCP
 isolation : rogue DHCP servers. Any Idea to crush those ?

 I hope it is not inappropriate to post this on this list. But it is an
 interesting problem (I think).

 We get orders for services via PDF.  We need to keep them, and call

Re: 5000' ethernet?

2009-07-17 Thread Elliot Finley
Just for the archives:
A T1 can only run about 600 feet.  Yes, that's right, 600 feet.  When people
talk about T1s running long distances, the reference to 'T1' is only the
signalling at the end.  In the middle, that T1 will be carried by other
methods such as SONET over fiber for very long distances.  For the last
mile it will be carried on HDSL or similar technology.  Or if it's a fairly
long copper path, it can be carried on T-carrier.

But bottom line:  The T1 signal that comes off of a CSU/DSU will reach about
600 feet.

 After reading (at least most of) the discussion that has arisen
 from this, I've had another thought which would use the wire
 already ordered -- although it does involve special hardware.
 Maybe you could set up what would amount to your own two-point
 telco:

 Option 1:  Put a T1 frame-relay box at each end.  I don't know how
 far a T1 can run without a booster of some sort, but I'd think it
 must be more than a mile or it would not have been commercially
 feasible.

 Option 2:  Put an ordinary DSL modem at one end and a DSLAM at the
 other end.  Again I'm not sure what the range is, but DSL used to
 be referred to as the solution for the last mile from the telco
 to the customer so it may be up to the job.

 AFAIK neither of these really needs the signal quality of Cat 5 --
 they both should work just fine over Cat 3 -- but surely the higher
 grade wire can't hurt (and it may increase the usable DSL distance).

currently looking at a RocketRAID 2314 and SiI3726 based port

Why not just upgrade to 7-Stable and then use these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815121009

they cost less than port multipliers.  They don't do RAID, but then if 
you're on 7-Stable, you can use ZFS zraid.

You may want to run your ssh server on tcp https 443. Because some

For certain files, the file appears twice on a windows machine but reading
from both files yields the same file. For other files, it does not report
the file at all. But if you copy the same file again, it will ask you if you
want to replace the existing file. Additionally if you go onto the freebsd
box and do an ls on the files, they will appear correctly (missing ones show
up and duplicates do not).

I tried two different windows boxes (vista and windows xp sp2) and both
behave the same way. All permissions are set to 777 on all files.

Any idea if this is a samba bug?

obtain a crash dump is mentioned in a thread I started in November:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-November/038069.html

The explanation of the problem was documented best by Doug Barton in
this thread (over at freebsd-rc@):

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-rc/2007-November/001263.html

In this thread it states:

Short term fix is to disable swapping on the system long enough to get
the dump, then reboot with swapping turned back on.

how do I turn swapping off?  I don't think I can just not mount it,
because then it wouldn't exist for the dump.

put it, sync but no surf.  It's been this way for 
2 weeks.

The DSL modem's outside (static) IP is n.n.n.70, the gw
is n.n.n.69, and the mask is 255.255.255.252.  From
inside, I can ping .70, but not .69 (and, needless to say,
nothing else, either).  From the outside, it's the

another router (but not the one that leads to .69)).

Thank you very much, Elliot; You wouldn't believe how hard it's been
to get anyone at, err, tech support, to even address the issue.
It makes sense, I suppose, otherwise the global routing table 
would be much larger than it is (?)

Anyone up for further questions?  The .70 -- .69 route on the
modem has a metric of 5, but with the .252 mask, shouldn't it
be required to be one hop away?

We really need further information to debug/diagnose this problem.
I'll give you a diagnosis for two different scenarios.

#1) you are using private addresses on your LAN and your DSL
modem/router is NATting for you:

possible problems:

Your modem/router isn't routing. ( this is more common than it should
be.  we replace customers' routers because of this problem regularly.)

Your ISP has fat fingered a netmask - most likely changing a .252 to a
.255.

#2) you are using public addresses on your LAN and your DSL
modem/router is just routing for you:

possible problems:

Same possibilities as above with the addition of:

Your ISP has *not* put the route in for your public block of IPs.

Your ISP *HAS* put the route in for your public block of IPs, but for
whatever reason, that route isn't propagating through their network.

Those will be the most likely problems.  I'm betting on your modem
being faulty.

Subject: Mirroring: gvinum or gmirror?


 I'm setting up a remote server with two identical hard drives, running
 FreeBSD-6.1. I want to set the drives up as a mirror for data redundancy.
I
 also want to be able to break the mirror when I need to update the OS or
 installed software, so that if anything goes wrong with the update on one
 drive I can boot back to the other one, or if all is well, re-establish
the
 mirror and synchronise to the updated system. I have serial console access
 including BIOS console redirection.

 Based on web and Usenet/mailing list searches, gmirror looks more
 straightforward for this simple case, gvinum more flexible but poorly
 documented, and the most recent comments I can find (still all 6+ months
ago)
 seem to suggest that gvinum hasn't completely stabilised for production
yet.

 Is this a fair assessment? Are there any factors I've missed? Which
solution
 is likely to suit the situation better?

 Bonus Tip of the day! If you ever have two disk drives which are not
 identical, such as these:

 Then make sure you install FreeBSD on the bigger one (i.e. here that

 a Consumers too small error when you try to bring the mirror
 together.

I could be wrong, but that seems backwards.

 I know, that's also what I thought before I had the problem. (hence
 the Tip of Day!)

 It's quite easy to understand when you think about it. Let's say we
 have the same disk drives as above in which ad0 is bigger then ad3.

 So you install the OS on the smaller ad3 disk first. Then you setup
 gmirror on the bigger disk ad0. You then dump(8) the OS from ad3 onto
 the broken mirror gm0 which is made up of ad0. Next you reboot on gm0
 (hence on ad0). You clear ad3 which is not used anymore and try to
 `sudo gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad3` = WRONG!

Well yes, if you do it this way, you are correct.  Why not just install the
OS on the smaller drive, skip the dump step and just use the installed drive
as the first drive in your mirror.  That's how I've been doing it and it
works great.

I've got a write-up of the steps required to do this if you or anyone else
needs them.  I also routinely disconnect one of the drives in my mirror
before a major upgrade to the OS or ports so that if I mess it up, I can
boot back to the previous state.  I have a write-up of the steps needed to
do this remotely over ssh (again, if you or anyone else needs them).

gmirror comments and questions (causes panic)

2005-11-25 Thread Elliot Finley
I'm on 6-Stable as of yesterday.  I've been playing around with gmirror and
overall I'm very impressed.

I created a mirror with three components:

gmirror label -v -b round-robin test twed12
gmirror insert -v test twed13
gmirror insert -v test twed14

in the man page for gmirror the synopsis for the label and insert commands
are:

gmirror label [-hnv] [-b balance] [-s slice] name prov ...
gmirror insert [-hiv] [-p priority] name prov ...

which means that it's calling twed12, twed13, twed14 the providers.
presumably test would be the consumer.  But when I do a gmirror list, I get
(shortened):

Providers:
1. Name: mirror/test

Consumers:
1. Name: twed12
2. Name: twed13
3. Name: twed14

which means that it's calling twed12, twed13 and twed14 the consumers.  So
that is a little confusing.  twed12 already had data on it, so I mounted it
on /mnt and waited for 13 and 14 to finish syncing.  I wanted to try using a
disk image as a backup for a simulated data update so that I could roll back
to the image if need be.  I did a:

gmirror remove -v test twed12

so I could use 12 as the backup image.  I made changes to the mirror and
then:

gmirror remove -v test twed13
gmirror remove -v test twed14
gmirror status

which caused the machine to panic.  I know that's not the right procedure,
but maybe gmirror could be changed to warn against removing the last
component of a mirror, or possibly handle it in a better way.

I booted back up and recreated the mirror using twed12 as the first
component, thus restoring the mirror to it's pre-upgrade state.  So the
disk-image-as-a-backup worked very well.

I was impressed with the fact that when I rebooted in the middle of a
gmirror syncronize, it started where it left off rather than starting over.

so here's the big question; if I have the boot disk mirrored with gmirror,
is it possible to remove a component of the mirror before a major upgrade
and use it as a backup just in case the upgrade catastrophically fails.  If
so, what would be the correct procedure?  This would all need to be remote
without physical access to the machine of course.

Thanks in advance for any info/pointers/rtfm.
Double thanks for gmirror, it is a fine piece of software.

Are there any modern blade servers (P4 2.6G or faster) that work reliably
with FreeBSD?

Re: dump/restore over ssh question

 Well this is more complicated than it seems.  First of all, using the
 fixit mode from 4.11-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso and trying to use
 disklabel -e does not work.  It gives this error:
 disklabel:  /mnt2/stand/vi: No such file or directory
 It turns out vi is located at /mnt2/usr/bin/vi and one has to set
 EDITOR=/mnt2/usr/bin/vi for disklabel to work.  Is that a bug?
 This also happens when I boot off disk1, enter fixit mode, and use
 the live filesystem with disk2.

 It is very easy to dump filesystems for backup, but it is not easy to
 restore filesystems.  (I am trying to do this all over ssh...not tape)
 It is probably just better, easier, faster, to backup all your
 data and config files (rsync -e ssh -avp ...) and in case of disk failure,
 replace the disk, install fresh OS, then restore data and config files.

 What do you think?

Why not just create a bootable disk *as* your backup.  That's what I do.  I
run it once a week and then also backup every night to a disk based backup
server.  If my system disk fails, I just need to but off of my backup disk
and then restore my nightly backups.

XFree86-libraries install failing

2004-04-21 Thread Elliot Finley
This is on 5.2.1-R.  doing a 'portinstall x11/XFree86-4-libraries' fails at:

make   xmakefile
rm -f xmakefile
./config/imake/imake -I./config/cf  -s xmakefile -DTOPDIR=. -DCURDIR=.
rm -f ./config/imake/Makefile.proto
making Makefiles in include/bitmaps...
imake: not found
*** Error code 127

This is with all ports updated with 'portupgrade -raf' from a fresh cvsup as
of yesterday.

Any ideas?

directories like Hotel California

2004-03-22 Thread Elliot Finley
I have a directory that I export via NFS.  I want people to be able to do a
directory listing to see whats there.  I also want them to be able to copy
files into this directory.  but I don't want them to be able to copy files
out of this directory.

I don't see any way to accomplish this with file permissions.  Am I missing
something?

Re: ports Makefiles all deleted?

2004-02-27 Thread Elliot Finley
the particular port I'm interesting in is mrtg.  I see that it's moved to
net-mgmt/mrtg.

what is the best process to upgrade?

pkg_deinstall -f mrtg
portinstall net-mgmt/mrtg
pkgdb -F

???

Out of memory error

2003-12-26 Thread Elliot Finley
4.8-R

I have a process that needs to keep about 700MB of data in RAM.  It crashes
when it gets to about 512MB.  I've looked for a sysctl variable to tune, but
none of them jumped out at me.  Same with man tuning'

Any pointers would be appreciated.

cvsup tag question

2003-08-14 Thread Elliot Finley
I just cvsupped a 5.1-Release machine using a tag of 'tag=RELENG_5_1'.  I
thought that that tag was supposed to be 5.1-Release+security-updates.  But
when I log in, I see '5.1-CURRENT (hostname) #0'.  There were also a _lot_
of config files changed by mergemaster.

What am I doing wrong?

Strange kernel log messages.

2003-07-14 Thread Elliot Finley
4.8-Release

I get lot's of these in my kernel log messages.

 arplookup 255.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network
 arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 255.0.0.0rt

Why would it be trying to ARP for something that isn't on it's own subnet?

No output from periodic

2003-07-08 Thread Elliot Finley
I have a periodic that runs every 15 minutes.  I have 5 scripts in the
directory that it processes.  Most of the time, the 5 scripts don't have to
do anything, and thus don't have any output.  When that happens, periodic
outputs 'No output from the 5 files processed'.

Is there a way to make periodic not output anything so that I don't get an
email from cron every 15 minutes?

TIA

Yeah, I tried that...  Now I just get a blank email from cron. :)

Anyone know how to make cron not send an email when there's no output?

Re: No output from periodic

2003-07-08 Thread Elliot Finley
I really appreciate all the comments, but this isn't quite what I'm after.

I _want_ cron to email me when there _is_ output.
But I _don't want_ an email when there _isn't_ output.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

 What you are seeing is an error condition...
 You should be able to put a redirect into crontab...

 Here's an example of one of my entries...
 It runs every 5 minutes, the dyndnss.pl script and sends
 output to /tmp/dyndnss.out AND any error messages (that's the 2)
 to /tmp/dyndnss.err

 This works for me and I don't see any error messages.
 In the actual script, if something goes wrong, I have it email me.
 So I still get notified if the script fails, but I don't get any warnings
 from CRON.

 Hope that works.
