Re: How to Setup Reverse DNS on LAN?

Searching the archives suggests that this is due to a failed reverse DNS lookup that must time out before connecting. Probably. But 192.168.1.3 does not: blacksheep host 192.168.1.3 Host not found, try again. On FreeBSD 5.1, it appears, speaking both from the man page and from an actual test, that host does not use /etc/hosts at all. It would be nice to have a command which uses getaddrinfo() but host does not. ping would be a better test: ~ % ping localhost PING fetiche (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.253 ms The name 'fetiche' was found in /etc/hosts. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Router/Gateway

RFC 1918 addresses like 192.168.0.0/16 *are* proper (from the point of view of the IP stack), they are just not public and hence not globally unique and not globally routable. I assume that I will configure dc0 with my fixed IP, but what do I do with lr0? Configure it with one of the addresses of the other network (the one which has proper addresses. Assume it is (just an example) 10.1.2.128/25, then you could use 10.1.2.129 (I myself use the convention that the default router of a network is always the first IP address of that network). On Ethernet, you must use one different IP address per interface (on point to point lines, some routers allow you to have unnumbered interfaces, not sure that it is true for FreeBSD). Be sure that your provider routes the above prefix (10.1.2.128/25) to you, otherwise your machines (except the router) will be able to send but not to receive. You can check that from http://www.traceroute.org/. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was just saying that each operating system has its own logic, its own philosophy and, while discussing the pros and cons of these philosophies is very interesting (but may be off-topic here), in the end, you have to choose one that pleases you. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What is the meaning of Sendmail or SSH in base system . Programs are only executable things What is the relation about those programs with base system ?! With the ideas you have about how an operating system should be assembled, I suggest that you use Debian URL:http://www.debian.org/ instead of FreeBSD. it is much closer to your philosophy. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Core system- This one can likely be argued a bit with bsd (and 3. userland apps- Kernel and core make a rudimentary system, but I don't have the Handbook to check and I'm offline at the present time but I'm suprised. I thought that userland meaned everything which is not the kernel, including the base system. What you call userland, everything but the base system, seems to be what the Handbook calls the ports. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are comparing apples and oranges. Linux is a kernel, not an operating system. Distributions is a specially ill-choosen word in the Linux world. There are several operating systems, Debian, RedHat, Mandrake, which only have in common to use the Linux kernel. Forget the word distributions which seems to imply that an operating system is defined by its kernel. And there are several operating systems based on a BSD kernel, too: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, there is even now a Debian/BSD which uses a NetBSD kernel instead of Linux. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
