Hi perryh! On Mon, 12 Jan 2009, per...@pluto.rain.com wrote: ... I do have a Linux OS that I have access to that strangely does use vpnc successfully. That may help quite a bit. You can use something like tcpdump or wireshark on the FreeBSD system to monitor the traffic between the Linux system and the Cisco while connecting and doing something simple like pinging the inside nameserver, then reverse roles and use the Linux system to monitor the traffic between FreeBSD and the Cisco while connecting and attempting to do the same simple thing. You won't be able to see what's inside the IPSEC-encrypted packets, but you can at least see how many of what size are sent in each direction. This may provide some clues as to what is going wrong. Alas, this is a multi-boot system where the Linux OS is installed - so no chance of that :-( I've just determined that it might not be a problem with vpnc..,as such.

xorg default configuration location
Hello, In the online handbook, 5.4 X11 Configuration, 5.4.2 Configuring X11 states As of version 7.3, Xorg can often work without any configuration file by simply typing at prompt: % startx If this does not work, or if the default configuration is not acceptable, then X11 must be configured manually Where *is* this default configuration located? Basically, I've got a notebook that I've just (Sunday 3rd Feb 2008) installed (and updated to lastest src / ports) that the default xorg (that is, without having to run Xorg -configure) setting appear to be fine - except for one (ever-present) problem - keyboard layout for UK. So, the *only* thing I'd like to change is the XkbLayout setting. Is it possible to locate this default configuration and simply change that config setting? On another note, is there a reason why despite going through the motions of setting location / keyboard layout during installation, on first boot, none of this locale-based information is retained?

Similarly (to me) in this scenario, in an upgrade from FreeBSD-5 to FreeBSD-6, I wondered if any correspondingly different changes / extra steps are required. My main reason for asking, is the fact that google searches on this matter return differing procedures (with varying sequences and numbers of steps) used by posters.

Strange messages log entry
Hello, I've noted a strange entry in /var/log/messages on machine here that I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on, please. Here is what I found: su: _secure_path: /nonexistent/.login_conf is not owned by uid 65534 There are two (2) entries at exactly 04:15 this morning, and they are the only two entries of this kind in /var/log/messages, and I can't think what it is that could be the origin of them.

The static NAT entry on the router is set up in order to construct an ACL entry that permits only one laptop to backup its files to the FreeBSD server via rsync.

FreeBSD-5.4 PreRelease vs HP OmniBook XE2
Hello, I've just installed and upgraded an HP OmniBook XE2 laptop to FreeBSD-5.4 PreRelease here and find that I can't get the default install of xorg to run at 800x600. I used to have FreeBSD-4Stable up until a week ago, which I decided to reinstall to version 5 after hitting problems updating to the latest Gnome. I've tried using the same settings for depth / resolution that just worked using XFree86, but the screen just starts to look as if its going to melt with the strange look the tft screen takes on after running startx. Here's the screen section with the XFree86 settings that used to work in FreeBSD-4Stable: Section Device ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: i: integer, f: float, bool: True/False, ### string: String, freq: f Hz/kHz/MHz ### [arg]: arg optional #Option pci_burst # [bool] #Option fifo_conservative # [bool] #Option fifo_moderate # [bool] #Option fifo_aggressive # [bool] #Option pci_retry # [bool] #Option NoAccel # [bool] #Option set_mclk # freq #Option show_cache# [bool] #Option HWCursor # [bool] #Option SWCursor # [bool] #Option ShadowFB # [bool] #Option Rotate# [str] #Option VideoKey # i #Option ByteSwap # [bool] #Option Interlaced# [bool] #Option UseBIOS # [bool] #Option ZoomOnLCD # [bool] Identifier Card0 Driver siliconmotion VendorName Silicon Motion, Inc.

I'm sure that you have been to the on line docs, but I thought I would provide a link just in case: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html That's what I used as the instruction set for setting up X on the laptop. The resulting xorg.conf.new that is prodeuced from Xorg -configure pretty much works, in terms of allowing me to launch X / Gnome at 600x480 resolution. Any attempts to tune xorg.conf fails. It just strikes me as odd that I didn't have these problems under FreeBSD-4 / XFree86. I'm waiting for a responder to request the actual xorg.conf file itself as its rather large for posting.

apcupsd vs FreeBSD-5.2.x
Hello, I've installed apcupsd (latest in ports) on a FreeBSD-5.2.x server. The server has an APC BackUPS Pro 1000i ups system connected to it via the APC supplied 940-0020B serial signalling cable. After installing apcupsd, the message from pkg-message appears, instructing the following: ** NOTE IF you install a apcupsd server: Change to /dev and create a softlink to usv from the serial line the USV is connected to, e.g. cd /dev ln -s cuaa1 usv Read the MANUAL to do site specific configuration assigenments! Especially have a detailed look into the chapter describing the shutdown procedure. ** So this is what I did. Here's what I've then figured I need to do for my apcupsd.conf file: ## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ## # # for apcupsd release 3.10.13 (16 April 2004) - freebsd # # apcupsd POSIX config file # # = General configuration parameters # # UPSNAME xxx # Use this to give your UPS a name in log files and such.

The DEVICE /dev/usv is also there by default, and I didn't change this, thinking that this is somehow related to the message in pkg-message. However, despite my being able to start apcupsd fromcmdline okay enough, on reboot, apcupsd does not start. I've (after backing up the original), copied the sample shell startup file to apcupsd.sh and checked that its executable: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1486 Jul 25 14:10 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh* So, why is it not starting automatically on reboot? The other problem I've got is that with the instruction to create a soft link for /dev/usv, on reboot, that soft link is of course disappears, so I have to manually recreate that soft link again, before (again) manually starting apcupsd from cmdline.

Yes, I knew this.., If the numbering of the ports on your computer follows the same pattern, then serial port 1 would map to cuaa0. Thanks for that clarification. I just thought that the pkg-message using cuaa1 was somewhat strange as this is in effect serial 2 and not the first serial interface.

APC Back-UPS Pro1000 vs apcupsd
Hello, Has anyone gotten an APC Back-UPS Pro1000 ups system working with FreeBSD (4.x / 5.x), using the supplied cable: 940-0020B? I've just attempted to install this on one of my systems, but can't seem to get this to do anything but (supposedly) start, with the corresonding message in /var/log/messages: apcupsd 3.10.13 (16 April 2004) freebsd startup succeeded. The test (from the online manual) that suggests that pulling the serial cable from the back of either the server or ups unit will cause a message to be written to messages after two seconds fails - well, nothing gets written to messages, actually, waited about 10 minutes and still nothing. What I'm really confused about is the fact that this ups is supposed to somewhat of the cleverer line, but given the serial cable's product code, apcupsd docs say that I'm not going to get much out of this unit. Using this same model under Solaris 9 and RH Linux / Fedora Core2 with the PowerChute software included, provides quite a lot of capability with this APC model, that I hoped would be available with apcupsd running under FreeBSD. Is there a FreeBSD-ish specific howto somewhere that I can check out to see if I'm barking up the wrong tree here to begin with? Any pointers to any information would be appreciated.

NAT vs Public IP Range info needed, please
Hello, I am looking to replace a proprietary DSL router/modem with the Sangoma S518 ADSL PCI Controller, thereby placing a FreeBSD (4.10-Stable) server running ipfw to handle access, firewall and nat duties. The ISP's DSL package includes 8 static ip addresses: - 1 - network addr 1 - broadcast addr 1 router address 5 usable ip addresses I have been reading up on NAT and address redirection in the HandBook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html) and have come accross section 19.13.5 Address Redirection. Here it reads: The -redirect_address syntax is as follows: -redirect_address localIP publicIP localIP The internal IP address of the LAN client. publicIPThe external IP address corresponding to the LAN client. In the example, this argument would read: -redirect_address 192.168.0.2 128.1.1.2 -redirect_address 192.168.0.3 128.1.1.3 What I would like to know is if it is possible to do to following: - Given that the 5 usable public IP's are: 1.1.1.4, 1.1.1.5, 1.1.1.6, 1.1.1.7 1.1.1.8 1] G'Way host is assigned its own public IP - 1.1.1.3 2] LAN hosts' (all) traffic is NAT'd using one of the other public IP's - 1.1.1.4 3] Remaining 4 public IP addresses are left to be used other purposes (eg: true address redirection to a DMZ-host, that is not a member of the internal LAN subnet) As you see, the g'way's public ip is not being used for NAT'ing internal hosts' outgoing traffic, but another ip from within the assignied public ip address range. My reading of the NAT chapter does not suggest that there is a way to define the public IP with which traffic is to be translate. Is this functionality not supported, or have I missed something when reading the various sections? I'd appreciate any pointers to where I might find more information that might assist me, or an explanation of what it is that I am not understanding when reading the HandBook. Thanks for the time.

Stacey, The public IP address for the gateway WILL be used for NAT'ing, if you choose to do so. In order to get things to work correctly, you're going to need three NICs installed in this machine (counting one of them as the DSL PCI card). Their use are as follows: Sis0: This is your DSL interface (probably not going to be called sis0) Sis1: This is your internal, non-DMZ interface, i.e. NAT'd. Sis2: This is your DMZ interface, i.e. non-NAT'd. Yes this is pretty much the set up that is envisaged for the network edge. If you read the man pages on NAT (man nat, iirc), you'll learn the syntax and such to use within your rc.conf file to configure the correct interfaces. I've seen other list-members' responses including a pointer to man natd(8) with respect to the alias switch, which I intend to study. When I've got more time, if you can't figure it out, I'll post a more elaborate configuration for you. Thanks for this, Eric. I've got to get the card first (hopefully with international shipping, it'll be able to get here within a few days so that I can start testing the set up. Given the confidence with which the others' have spoken of the alias switch, I'm now very much happier with the prospects for this solution than before. I'll certainly post back with what results I get. Thanks very much for taking the time to get back to me.

True, but the term is used inappropriately by the quota tools and their documentation - these appear to work exclusively in KB units for their (ahem) 'block' quotas, at least on recent versions on FreeBSD.

There's a lot of explicit [some number of bytes]/1024 calculations in the various quota tools. I have empirical evidence of this too - I set up 'block' quotas for my users many moons ago, assuming 512 byte blocks. I was then quite surprised to run out of disk space last weekend, with du(1) showing several users massively over quota, but repquota(8) saying all was well. Halving all the quota settings keeps everything in agreement. The documentation is certainly misleading on this point. I'll file a PR, unless anyone cares to beat me to it...

Most applications that deal in file sizes can deal in units of blocks, (eg. the -s argument to newfs(8) takes an argument in units of sectors or blocks, although just to be confusing, newfs(8) also uses 'block-size' with a different meaning) and in some of the older ones blocks are the default measure.

Per-User QUOTA's vs blocksize
Hello, I have a simple question here please. I'm trying to follow the HandBook's how-to for setting up a per-user quota on a machine. When the HandBook (at 12.13.2 Setting Quota Limits - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/quotas.html) refers to: You may limit allocations based on disk space (block quotas) What exactly is the size of a block? I read a post that was returned via a google search (http://groups.google.com/groups?q=block+%3D+512+group:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.*hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8group=comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.*selm=WZ1a4.25014%24ma5.1102217%40news.chello.atrnum=1) that suggested that 1 block = 512b, but since then I've been advised that in fact, 1 block = 1024b (1 kilobyte) instead. I tried searching the HandBook but couldn't find anything definitive, and also had a look at man ls(1) as well as man du(1). Here's what man ls(1) has at the end: -s Display the number of file system blocks actually used by each file, in units of 512 bytes, where partial units are rounded up to the next integer value. If the output is to a terminal, a total sum for all the file sizes is output on a line before the listing. The environment variable BLOCKSIZE overrides the unit size of 512 bytes. That suggests that there might actually be a default(?) value of 1 block = 512b And man du(1) says: ENVIRONMENT BLOCKSIZE If the environment variable BLOCKSIZE is set, and the -k option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that size block. If BLOCKSIZE is not set, and the -k option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in 512-byte blocks. Which also to me, suggests that 1 block = 512b Now, the blocksize env variable for my current user is set to: BLOCKSIZE=K This is the same for root as well. In setting disk space limits for per-user quota's then, which blocksize should I be using? Thanks for the time.

FreeBSD vs Samba machine account creation
Hello, Some time ago, I saw a thread on this list that had concluded that the adduser facility in FreeBSD had been amended so that samba machine accounts can be created with the required $ at the end of the desired machine user name. Is this not actually the case? I'd appreciate any information on this, please. I did check the man pages, but again, I could swear I read that thread., only because it reminded me of the problems I once had trying to get this to work some months prior. Thanks for the time.

The have a look at the work dir to see if LDAP functionality has been set. If it is, then need to actually delete the work dir before reinstalling. Otherwise you'd only be reusing the same configure options that were originally used - which I presume is the problem.

The setup is 30 client sites with dynamic IP addresses connecting to one headoffice that has a static IP address. The 30 client sites all have unique RFC 1918 based subnets behind them. The problem is how to do all the setkey business. The client end can find out the ip address its dynamically assigned and then do the appropriate setkey. But the headoffice cannot do the same thing as it has not built in way of knowing what the client endpoint is. I dont want to implement some additional protocol to send the HQ saying, Hi, I am IP address xxx, please contruct your setkey accordingly as it would be a security issue if not thought out correctly. These are all very remote sites, so analog dialup is the only connection available. Any pointers would be great. Currently we are using mpd to dialup and then tunnel across the mpd tunnel, but there is a resource leak somewhere in doing this. There are other problems with this method as well so we would like to avoid it.

Someone made an error when committing to ports and consequently 'make
index' goes bezerk. I just noticed that myself. The offending line
appears to be:
GETOPTDIR!= cd ${PORTSDIR}/devel/libgnugetopt; make -V WRKSRC
in the x11/xstroke port. If you try and run any make command, you'll
get a similar effect:

Thanks for that explanation.., I imagine this is another one of those
things that eventually sorts itself out..,

If I try to add the IP data manually using ifconfig, I get this error: zeus# ifconfig rl0 inet 192.168.1.145 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists This is a warning that the IP details you've attempted to assign to the nic is already loaded, and that it cannot be loaded again. Any ideas for getting this NIC up and running properly?? The second nic is not coming up for the simple reason (I presume) that the former nic is already up and active on the 192.168.1.x subnet. Dual-homed hosts (PC-based routers) are usually set up to route packets between two *different* networks. So, as suggested below, you'll want to assign a different network address to the second nic, and (providing there's a lan there) all should be well. Regards, Stacey I haven't seen that error before, but you do have a small problem with the config. You shouldn't have two cards on the same subnet. If you just want to try it out, assign the new card a 192.168.2.xxx address. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Stacey Roberts B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science Web: www.vickiandstacey.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Changed ISP now can't get to websites / traceroute
Hello, Sorry for brining this to the list, but I've been grappling on my own with this for the last two weeks now. I had an ADSL connection at one point, but have moved home. With this, I had to change ISP's in order to get ADSL where I now live. The thing is, now that I've got this new ISP (Zen - 8 static IP's), I find that there are sites that I am not able to get (browse) to, most concerning is www.freebsdforums.org. Ever since I've got this new ADSL account, not for hell nor high-water can I hit that site, using any browser, using any OS (FreeBSD, RH £inux or MS Win2K Pro / XP) at home. In addition to this, I am also unable to run traceroute from any FreeBSD machine to *any* external site via IP address, nor WWW address, even though I can from the MS Win machines. With my previous ADSL provider (PIPEX) traceroute worked fine from *all* machines, regardless of OS, hence my feeling it can't be anything to do with ipfw running on my *nix boxes.., but then again.., So here are my questions: 1] Does any here use Zen ADSL successfully and is able to connect to www.freeBSDforums.org? 2] Does anyone know of any reason why traceroute might fail on FreeBSD, but work on Win2K Pro? Some info.., I can ping www.freebsd.org: $ ping www.freebsd.org PING www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.117): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 216.136.204.117: icmp_seq=0 ttl=45 time=191.092 ms 64 bytes from 216.136.204.117: icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=173.511 ms 64 bytes from 216.136.204.117: icmp_seq=2 ttl=45 time=193.024 ms 64 bytes from 216.136.204.117: icmp_seq=3 ttl=45 time=181.710 ms ^C --- www.freebsd.org ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 173.511/184.834/193.024/7.814 ms $ But traceroute fails: $ traceroute www.freebsd.org traceroute to www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.117), 64 hops max, 44 byte packets 1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 1.448 ms 0.431 ms 0.304 ms 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 * * * 10 * * * 11 * * * 12 * * * 13 * * * 14 * * * 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * * * 19 * * * 20 * * * 21 * * * 22 * * * 23 * * * 24 * * * 25 * * * 26 * * * 27 * * * 28 * * * 29 * * * 30 * * * 31 * * * 32 * * * 33 * * * ^C $ On Win2K Pro on the other hand.., all success: First ping test: C:\ping www.freebsd.org Pinging www.freebsd.org [216.136.204.117] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 216.136.204.117: bytes=32 time=172ms TTL=45 Reply from 216.136.204.117: bytes=32 time=172ms TTL=45 Reply from 216.136.204.117: bytes=32 time=172ms TTL=45 Reply from 216.136.204.117: bytes=32 time=156ms TTL=45 Ping statistics for 216.136.204.117: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 156ms, Maximum = 172ms, Average = 168ms C:\ Now traceroute, well.., tracert: C:\tracert www.freebsd.org Tracing route to www.freebsd.org [216.136.204.117] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 192.168.1.1 231 ms31 ms16 ms galileo-dsl1.hq.zen.net.uk [62.3.82.2] 316 ms15 ms31 ms leucippus-ve-21.hq.zen.net.uk [62.3.80.118] 416 ms16 ms15 ms bolzano-ge-0-0.wh.zen.net.uk [62.3.80.86] 516 ms16 ms31 ms 195.16.169.89 631 ms16 ms31 ms pos8-1.core1.London1.Level3.net [212.187.131.114 ] 731 ms31 ms31 ms ae0-11.mp1.London1.Level3.net [212.187.131.1] 832 ms31 ms31 ms so-1-0-0.mp1.London2.Level3.net [212.187.128.49] 9 125 ms 125 ms94 ms so-1-0-0.bbr1.Washington1.level3.net [212.187.12 8.138] 10 172 ms 172 ms 172 ms so-2-0-0.mp2.SanJose1.Level3.net [64.159.0.218] 11 188 ms 171 ms 188 ms gige10-1.ipcolo3.SanJose1.Level3.net [64.159.2.1 05] 12 172 ms ** cust-int.level3.net [64.152.81.62] 13 * 172 ms 156 ms ge-1-2-0.msr2.sc5.yahoo.com [216.115.101.230] 14 172 ms 172 ms 172 ms vl47.bas1-m.sc5.yahoo.com [66.163.160.230] 15 172 ms 187 ms 172 ms www.freebsd.org [216.136.204.117] Trace complete.
