Active Directory server on 6-STABLE ?
I'm looking for a good way to provide a single authentication/authorization database for multiple applications in an environment consisting of a FreeBSD server and a collection of primarily Windows (XP) clients. We do NOT want to use the old Windows Domain protocols; and it doesn't look easy to make Windows work with anything that isn't a Microsoft work-alike. Active Directory looks like a good choice; since it should be easy to access the database from just about any app that supports LDAP authentication. But so far, I haven't found an implementation of an AD-compatible server that will run on FreeBSD. (This could, in part, reflect my lack of Windows experience...) It looks like Samba4 is far enough along to provide the necessary functionality; but it doesn't build and run on FreeBSD; and I don't currently have the time available to do the porting work. So, have I completely missed some other solution? Does someone have Samba4 running on FreeBSD 6-STABLE? Do any of you have any other useful (on-topic) advice for me?

Could you create a user to get them; and give that user a procmail (or similar) delivery-time script to file them into subdirs based on some arbitrary characteristic? IMHO, these messages should be _rejected_ at the SMTP session, though (AFAICS) qmail won't do this (without being patched).

Again, the configuration is de0 = PUBLIC IP = 1.2.3.4 de1 = 192.168.1.1 de2 = 192.168.2.1 I don't have a problem with incoming requests for 1.2.3.4:80 from the Internet being redirected to 192.168.2.250. That works fine. But I want someone on 192.168.1.247 to ALSO be redirected to 192.168.2.250:80 when they request the public address 1.2.3.4:80. Put another way, I have a FreeBSD server acting as a Router/Firewall. It has a public interface with an IP number of 1.2.3.4 and is assigned the DNS name www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com. It also has a second NIC that supports a private address space of 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 and a third NIC that supports a private address space of 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 When someone from the Internet tries to reach www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com they get redirected to 192.168.2.250 because I've included a redirect_port rule for NATD. This works fine. But, users on all private networks (I have two, but there could be 20) also need to be redirected to 192.168.2.250 when they try to go to www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com So the user sitting at 192.168.1.247 shouldn't have to worry about putting in the IP number of the company web server, they should just be able to put in the company domain name (www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com) and be redirected to 192.168.2.250 just like anyone coming from the outside. It seems to me that the best way to handle this is through DNS. Hosts within your LAN should find www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com to 192.168.2.250 instead of 1.2.3.4. Typically, you would have an externally visible DNS server which is authorititave for your domain; and which lists only the publicly visible machines and IP addresses. (It should -NOT- handle referrals at all.) Somewhere within your LAN you would have another DNS server that is authoritative for your internal domain and IP range. It may handle referrals; but it is safer to have a completely separate DNS server which just handles referrals (and possibly caches results) - it should be explicitly told to use your LAN's authoritative server for your domain and IP range. With this setup, outside machines see the public address, which is redirected via your firewall/NAT rules; but internal machines see the internal address and access it directly. -Pat ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am pretty much convinced that even if I use compression, I will need to span across multiple tapes or get a bigger tape drive. At the very least I may have to get more dump drive and do incremental backups. At any rate, I am having a hard time deciding between Amanda and Bacula. Amanda has been around forever and is known to work, but to the best of my knowledge doesn't span across multiple tapes. Bacula, on the other hand, does span across multiple tapes, but it hasn't been out as long. With AMANDA, each filesystem's dump must fit on a single tape; but it can use multiple tapes in a single dump run. I've been using AMANDA for several years now; and one of the things that I like about it is that you tell it how many tapes you have and how long a dump cycle you want; and it decides when to run full or incremental dumps for each partition; and the level of increment on the incrementals. It is easy to set it up to ensure that there are at least two full dumps on tape at any given time; even if you have a very limited number of tapes. I now have a couple of disks that are too large to fit a full dump onto a single tape; so I've been looking into other backup systems. Bacula seems to be the top contender because it appears to be able to span a single partition's dump across multiple tapes. But it uses the classic 'full dump every X, incremental every Y, differential every Z' scheduling mechanism. Which means that I'd need to split my tapes into a set for full dumps and another for incremental or differential dumps. And worry about exactly how many tapes I need in each. And which set I have loaded into the limited-capacity auto-changer. (AMANDA uses the tapes in sequence; so I just swap the 7-tape carrier for the next one when it complains that it can't find the one it wants.) So I'm stuck trying to choose between a system with a real good scheduling algorythm; but unable to backup large partitions; and a system that can handle large partitions; but uses a scheduling scheme that may require me to spend hundreds of dollars for more tapes... -Pat ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, not at all. Because by the time of Columbus, every educated European knew that the Earth was spherical. Hell, the ancient Greeks and Romans knew that. (Anybody who's ever stood on the shore and watched a ship sail over the horizon should be able to figure out the most likely reason why it disappears from the bottom up; and why you can see it for longer from a higher vantage point.) Where Columbus differed from his contemporaries was in the estimates of the size of the sphere and of the land distance between Europe and Asia. The commonly accepted estimates were fairly accurate. Columbus grossly under estimated the size of the earth and over- estimated the land distance between Europe and Asia. Which is why he thought that the East Indies were part of India - they were about the right distance west of Europe, according to his badly flawed estimates. There is also strong reason to believe that he -knew- that there was a land mass between Europe and Asia. Why else would he take the longer southern route against the currents of the Gulf Stream instead of the more northerly route that would have shortened the distance and time travelled out of site of land? And there is evidence that Welsh fishing fleets were regularly fishing off the coast of Newfoundland for at least 200 years before Columbus. (But at the time, the location of good fishing sites was considered a valuable trade secret. There is evidence of contemporary rumors of a land mass in the northern ocean to the west; but not a precise location; and it was thought to be a large island, not a continent.) And there is also considerable evidence that an Irish monk sailed to Canada in a small tarred-hide boat around 800 AD. That certainly wasn't any secret in Columbus' time. Nor were the Norse stories of Vinland. So let's stop giving Columbus credit for things that he didn't actually do. And particularly stop giving him credit for being more insightful than his contemporaries when his success actually came from being grossly wrong in almost every respect. -Pat ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The downside of this approach is that the port needs to be installed on the host system to build the package.

Now if you're just talking about the ports that may legally be included on the CD set; it's a space tradeoff. Adding more would mean more than 4 CDs in the set, which would raise the cost of producing them. Which would in turn raise the price to end-users. On the whole, I'd rather keep the current setup and see about putting more into a DVD based release...

But now that I've tried it, add it to the list of utilities that lose the flags. (I'm particularly interested in preserving the schg and nodump flags.) So far, the only thing I know of that seems to do everything right is cvsup. But it's really a bit cumbersome to set up for a one-time copy. -Pat We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. -- Abraham Lincoln ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How do I use uvisor?
I've been syncing my Handspring Visor over the USB cable using coldsync and ugen0 for a couple of years now. One of the recent system updates introduced ucom and uvisor; and now I can't get the Visor to sync. (I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE as of about 29 October.) The uvisor man page is distinctly short on actual usage info; but mentions some attach messages that I never see. When I hit the sync button on the cradle, I get the following in /var/log/messages (I've cut out the dates and reduced the host name to 'h' to eliminate line wrapping.) 14:13:26 h /kernel: ucom0: Handspring Inc Handspring Visor, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 6 14:13:26 h /kernel: ucom0: Handspring Inc Handspring Visor, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 6 14:14:21 h /kernel: ucom0: at uhub1 port 1 (addr 6) disconnected 14:14:21 h /kernel: ucom0: detached Was it a mistake to add uvisor (and ucom?) to the kernel config? Does someone have working examples of all of the necessary config files to get this to work? Thanks, -Pat msg10817/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
