Re: Possible to run 2 instances of Bind DNS server in jails??
The only bit I'm not certain on is dedicating a nic to a jail (more because I havent tried than because I believe it cant be done, I'd expect that the network stack virtualization in 8+ should allow this.) You can most definately run seperate instances of applications in jails. I'd recomend subscribing to the freebsd-jails mailing list (http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-jail) for jail specific questions as I've only dabbled with them a little.

In this discussion it was mentioned that FreeBSD Jails where the sudo 'equivalent' to Zones but of course behave much more like a chroot environment. I have to ask if it's possible since I'm coming over from Solaris to dedicate NICs to Jails and run separate instances of applications in there, the one I am looking for primarily is Bind.

Its probably worth your while asking the maintainer or filing a PR. I searched for /bin/ip and could not find it nor could I find ip anywhere in the file system. nope its a linuxism, doesnt exist in freebsd, for routing we use route. man ip brings up info but it looks like it is not a bin but a structure used in c??? not too sure about that. Has anyone ran across this? Is there an alternate instead of ip? Perhaps I can hack it into the source. I would probably suggest using mpd (/usr/ports/net/mpd5) myself, its very well supported on freebsd and although it does way more than you need its pretty simple to setup, (the sample mpd.conf has an example pptp_client you can adapt.)

I still don't know that this is doing anything meaningful in the context
of ZFS memory use.
I understood it to just be showing a summary of kernel memory
utilization, no specific zfs stuff (which I guess could be got from
vmstat -z although I dont understand those statistics well enough to do
this myself.) Semi useful in a peripheral way maybe.

Re: Nanobsd on a CD-ROM
to make a freebsd CDROM bootable you need to use the /boot/cdboot as the loader and make an ISO image. the nanobsd procedure creates a ufs disk image from what I understand. Try mounting the disk image mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 11 -f /path/to/image/_.disk.full mkdir /mnt/image mount /dev/md11 /mnt/image (might be /dev/md11s1a or similar, see whats created and find what works.) Then make an ISO of the mounted nanobsd image mkisofs -J -R -no-emul-boot -b /boot/cdboot \ -iso-level 3 -o nanobsd.iso /mnt/image Then either burn it to CD or install qemu to see if it boots before making another coaster. I havent tried this exactly but this should work, may need polishing though. Vince J. Porter Clark wrote: On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 06:54:45PM +0200, Pietro Cerutti wrote: J.

I think that this is the problem: The BIOS knows how to boot from a CD if and only if that CD is an El Torito bootable image. That is, the first sector of the CD is NOT a Master Boot Record. That's just a hypothesis based on the observation that all of the successfully bootable CDs I have appear to be in El Torito format. I don't have a way to make such an image without using mkisofs. Figuring out how to pack the nanobsd image in such a way that mkisofs can make an El Torito bootable CD from it sounds difficult, offhand. Anybody know how to do this sort of thing?

Assuming it was installed from ports, if you have portupgrade installed you could try pkg_which /usr/local/bin/gsc For me this gives [11:59:40:/usr/home/jhary] ([EMAIL PROTECTED])$pkg_which /usr/local/bin/gsc ghostscript-gpl-8.62_2 Ghostscript is a postscript interpreter which would make sense since most printers talk postscript.

Re: Need to build a new mail server
As a sysadmin at a medium mailhosting ISP (~15,000 email customers, averaging about 5 email addresses per customer,) we use a load balanced cluster of Dovecot and exim servers with mysql backend. Theres no way we could use qmail, it just doesnt have the flexibility even with 1/2 a dozen patches. That said I do like postfix I've used it before for smtp relay servers and its performed like a champ.

It's about time to replace it, and I'm thinking FreeBSD might be the best choice of OS for the replacement. However, it's been some time since I looked into options for mail servers. I'm interested in both suggestions for hardware and mail servers that would make for the best FreeBSD based mail server. I've only got about two dozen users, though they are all very heavy users of email. I'm using IMAP, and I'd like to continue to do so. Finally, we have quite a few aliases I'd want to port over to a new server. I also recommend dovecot. I'm using it for several years without a problem, and it was quite simple to setup. I'm using it with sendmail, though (not postfix), because I've been using sendmail for almost 20 years and haven't had a reason to switch. If you're already familiar with sendmail on Solaris, then I recommend you continue using sendmail on FreeBSD (it's the default MTA that comes with the base system). Having said that, Postfix _is_ a very good MTA, I'm using it at work. If you're willing to switch and invest a little bit of time learning something new, then Postfix is certainly a good choice.

Re: Low/Jerky performance in FreeBSD 7
Yani Brankov wrote: Hey guys, Hi I recently updated to FreeBSD 7 and noticed that my box started to perform as windows does under heavier loads. The mouse starts to be jerky when compiling, window updates/redraws are slow and bump the CPU usage up to 100%. I attributed this to the mga driver which comes with the distro in the beginning. However, I later noticed the same happens even when X has not been started. For instance, I start a kernel compile and the console mouse becomes jumpy. All these have never happened before with FreeBSD on this box. It has enough memory (1.5G) and relatively fast CPU (2.5GHz). I started to think this may be originating from kernel level (irq handling, long times in giant locked code during syscalls, etc). I am wondering whether it is only me who has hit this problem or it is more common. It may be also related to hardware configuration, etc. I'm trying to figure out.

rndis on freebsd?
Hi all, I've been looking at using my htc hermes (orange spv3100) as a 3g modem. To do this it looks like I need to attach it as an rndis device and set the phone as my router. Is this supported at all in freebsd? I tried hacking if_cdce (added device ID) and when i enable connection sharing on the phone it attaches, but I cant get it to talk to my laptop over the cdce interface (either trying dhcp on the cdce interface, manually giving it the IP it gets given on windows or manually setting both ends) so i'm guessing it needs something more. Any clues welcome. regards, Vince ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Read this (in the license agreement): ... For the avoidance of doubt, no embedded or device versions of the above operating systems, or any other operating systems, are included as Authorized Operating Systems. ... 2.1You may install and use the Software on a single desktop or laptop computer that runs an Authorized Operating System. A license for the Software may not be shared, installed or used concurrently on different computers. ...where Authorized Operating Systems is only Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS as defined before the initial sentence, and as such, there's no clause that allows you to use the software on BSDs, and finally, that makes it forbidden to use on BSDs. This is another reason why Flash is bad, bad, bad. Am I repeating myself? There appears to be an echo in this room FWIW, should you accidentally comment out the RESTRICTED declaration in the port Makefile, and the plugin tarball mysteriously materialize in /usr/ports/distfiles, you could perhaps accidentally install the port and put yourself in violation of the license (you naughty boy you).

In this situation it seems like the whole reason to grant access to the server was because the user _doesn't_ know what needs to be done. ~~ Exactly, I don't know what needs to be done, and they don't neither. That's why they need to browse around trying to figure out why their installer doesn't work. Sudo wouldn't be any help here cause I would need to pre approve commands and I don't know which one will be needed. You seem to have a mistaken understanding of sudo. You can grant them access to everything that root has simply by adding their account to the wheel group and using visudo to grant wheel access to everything that root has access to. You can do this with or without a requirement to type your password when you use sudo. This will allow them to do everything they want while logging every command they type. And that seems to be exactly what you want. So, rather than giving them the root password, create an account for them, add it to the wheel group and use visudo to edit /usr/local/etc/sudoers to grant wheel access to everything. (DO NOT edit the file with vi!) To add the wheel group to a user: pw usermod username -G wheel Granting access to wheel should be self-explanatory: # Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL # %wheelALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL That way everything they do is logged, and you don't have to compromise your root password. The problem here is that the first command I type in this situation if i need to run multiple commands as root it sudo su - after that nothing is logged.

I know little of accounting and such, so don't know how to interpret the scanty pkg-descr tidbits that accompany the ports. So, some amplification would be helpful. It would need to keep records for about 500 members (say under 1000 for good measure - more is, of course OK), including membership, participation and official responsibilities (such as board oficer, etc). It would also need to keep accounts, regular receipts from members, non-members, services and payouts for expenses and also remissions to an umbrella organization. The ability to generate regular reports for the membership, plus year-end reports for tax purposes would be important. The ability to cut checks and keep a record would be a significant plus. So, does anyone know of something good along this line in the open source freeware world that would run on FreeBSD - whether currently in the ports or not? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

INET (70.164.48.225/28) - [xl0] Firewall (70.164.48.226) [xl1] - [xl0] Web server (70.164.48.227) Only really one choice if you really don't want NAT (i've run web servers with a static nat many times though so i wouldn't rule it out if i were you) Routing wouldn't work in this scenario as you dont have enough control, you would have to bridge the interfaces on your firewall. man if_bridge. Bridging xl0 and xl1 on your firewall will make it act like a 2 port hub, but pf ,ipfw and ipf can still filter packets going across it. Personally in this situation i'd just add the IPs to the freebsd box and set static NATs up for anything that needs to be externally visible but a bridging firewall should work too.

Hi there,
I've browsing freshports.org for an arp scanner and found only
arpscan, which is marked broken and knowlan, which hasn't been updated
in years. What's the tool of choice to map out IP-Adresses on a subnet
when you know that quite a few hosts are firewalled from ping?
Try nmap. It has a variety of different ways to look for systems on a
given subnet.
Thanks. Tried nmap. As I said, some systems that i want to have in my
output are locally firewalled and I doubt the -sP switch catches
them. Port scans are out of the question.
Thinking about it even if the host blocks ping then it will have to reply
to an arp request. so make a short script to clear the arp cache ('arp -a
-d' as root) then do your nmap -sP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy and do an arp -a
which will list all the arp entries in your arp cache (should be every
host that responded to an arp request when you did the ping scan but maybe
pipe it through grep to only get the arps for ips in that range)
also arping may be of use.

Re: netgraph netflow

Hi all. I'm trying to get ng_netflow to work, and I'm having a heck
of a time doing so. So if anyone can shed some light on my problem,
please do so. I've tried multiple configurations, and can't get it to
work right. I can only get it to see traffic in one direction (for
example, flows from other PCs to the server. Flows starting from the
server started by something like fetch or ssh don't show up as
sourcing from the server). Here is the config that I thought would do
that, but it's not.
mkpeer fxp1: tee lower right
connect fxp1: fxp1:lower upper left
mkpeer fxp1:lower netflow left2right iface0

mkpeer fxp1_netflow: ksocket export inet/dgram/udp
msg fxp1_netflow:export connect inet/127.0.0.1:9800
Using this, when I run flowctl, it shows the source interface as ppp0
and sometimes sl0, which isn't even connected, and a dest interface of
fxp1. If I switch all the left2rights with right2lefts, I get
only flows going to the server...so after reading how the tee in
netgraph works, I assumed if I switched it, it would show the other
direction.
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks,

pam_radius and ssh
Hi all, I've been looking into using the pam_radius pam module and have been trying out the template_user feature as this would ease the administrative burden in our setup, (it allows a user to be specified as a template if the radius user does not have a local account.) I can get it to work fine for login and telnetd, but sshd seems to have a problem. If a local user with the same name as the radius user exists then no problem, if not then the template_user should kick in, however it doesnt, in fact if the user does not exist localy then the pam_radius module is never even invoked, or at least it never sends any query to the radius server. I'm guessing that sshd checks for a valid user even when its using PAM authentication and halts any further progress. Is there any way to turn this off? thank, Vince ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
