Thank you! Problem solved.

The 'funny thing' was:
a. This system is not an upgrade. It was a fresh install of 6.2.
b. When I did the initial make on webalizer, I foolishly checked the X11 boxes 
in
   the config screen.
c. However, the make mechanism apparently didn't properly pick up the dependency
   like it usually does.
d. When I got the errors, I tried to re-do the config, and just could not find 
any
   way at all to unring that bell. Make config did not work, as config was not
   a target. I even make a clean, empty ports tree and tried to make webalizer
   there hoping for another shot at the config screen, but it never appeared,
   and I got the same error. This leads to the question of where in the maze
   of twisty little passageways, all the same, did the make mechanism
   hide the X11 requirement

Thank you for attempting to reply to my question, though.
[The telstra.net entry in my blocklist has also been removed].


The pointers sent regarding incoming PPP have veen very useful.
The last time I set this up I was on a BSDI system, and the protocol was 
handled by
pppd, not the ppp client. I kept looking for pppd related info, and didn't look 
at
the (newer) ppp client pages.

  Subject: RE: Dual Homing Networks with DSL and Cable
 
 
  You will have difficulty with this setup.  Most large
  providers require that you register your multihomed capacity
  on a list.  Otherwise traffic won't know to come in on a
  particular interface or that it can go either way.  I must
  admit I'm going from memory here.  I used to work at an ISP
  about 5 years ago.  At that time we went from a T3 with UUNET
  to a multihomed setup with verio and uunet.  It was rather
  odd actually.. 3 t1s connected us to our modem banks at the
  telco and then we had an ethernet connection to verio's pipe,
  plus the T3 in our main office.  Anyway, verio required us to
  get on this list.  They told us that most large ISPs use it
  for routing.  I suspect you will need static ips with the
  cable provider to pull it off as well.
 
 Actually, I was under the assumption that the multi-homed system would
 process outgoing traffic, and the incoming would just return on the
 appropriate IP.  In this scenario, there's no need to register hosts.

Some networks will not pass outbound traffic that has a source address
NOT in the correct net. I have more than one inbound net, and have found
that, for a small number of BSD machines, putting up IPFW and using the
'fwd' rules works.

For the case of three networks all with static IP addresses, my network
card is assigned three IP addresses in ifconfig which results in lines
in rc.firewall (for example):

net1ip=a.b.c.123
net2ip=e.f.g.74
net3ip=h.i.j.202

Each of the networks has a different gateway with rc.firewall entries:

net1gw=a.b.c.1
net2gw=e.f.g.1
net3gw=h.i.j.1


Packets coming in addressed to netX1ip are replied to from that IP address,
so the following rules direct them to the correct default routes: 

${fwcmd} add fwd  all from ${net1ip} to ${net1ip}
${fwcmd} add fwd  all from ${net2ip} to ${net23p}
${fwcmd} add fwd  all from ${net3ip} to ${net3ip}


Works fine for me. Haven't done this for NAT'd IP addresses, though.

 
 Thanks,

 Sounds like you're working with an older version of FreeBSD.
 [Please see Greg Lehey's How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

 The ports aren't particularly intended to work with older versions,
 and may depend on newer features (like some of the pthread modifications).

If I leave MOD_DAV out, it works, but I think I need that. The funny thing
is, the library with pthread_mutex_init IS IN /usr/local/lib!

2002-10-02 Thread Lou Katz

I hate all this color stuff. HOW DO I TURN IT OFF? I am colorblind.

 Have you set your TERM environment variable to 'xterm-color' ?
 
 The way to do this differs depending on the shell you use, if it's
 bash just type:
 export TERM=xterm-color
 
 if it's csh type:
 setenv TERM xterm-color
 
 (There are more shells, look at the man page of your shell for more
 details!)
 
 Hope that helps,
 Cheers and Good Morning :)

 P.S. I have read that in new versions of FreeBSD the TERM variable
 is set to xterm-color by default, but I have forgotten if this is
 already done in -stable or if this is done in -current - and I
 don't know which version of FreeBSD you are running :)
