Re: sysctl.conf (formerly packet forwarding)
Hi Yance, Any clue as to where I can see those over five hundred system variables? ... just being curious ... some are in the manpage of sysctl. There is also this hint: More variables than these exist, and the best and likely only place to search for their deeper meaning is undoubtedly the source where they are defined. Also, is this sysctl.conf a unique feature of FreeBSD or a feature of nay *NIX O/S? At least OpenBSD and Linux have this feature, too. -volker ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: postfix or qmail?
Hi Luciano, I've a simple question, postfix or qmail? the simple answer: both are good. If you're using sendmail right now, the change to postfix should be easier. I've heard that postfix is slightly faster when it comes to really massive number of emails (less disc-writing) but that shouldn't bother you with 300 accounts. Other thing (perhaps, the one that I interest more your opinion), do anyone know why MacOS X Server is using postfix instead of qmail? Perhaps licensing questions? (i mean, the latter is far more popular, right?) I don't think so. Both are heavy-used sendmail-replacements. -volker ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: creating a local cvsup mirror.
Hi Derrick, I want to create a local mirror for my internal freebsd systems. I seem to be confusing articles that are 'how to mirror' and 'how to be a mirror'.

E.g. to copy the first IDE disk to the second IDE disk, use copydisk wd0 wd1, to do the same for SCSI disks run copydisk sd0 sd1. Beware! All data on the target disk will be erased!

Re: Configuring PF
Hi Pat,
Is there any place I can find a good default ruleset for a server, and
just change what ports I want open?
pf originates at openbsd. There you'll find lots of documentation, the
pf-faq, and the (as always in the BSD world) excellent manpages.
In addition there's the pf-repository at: https://solarflux.org/pf/
And there are some books which include examples.
Also, I've noticed that some rulesets will have different flags and
keep state on for certain TCP ports, but not others. For example, at
https://www.section6.net/help/pf.php I found:
#WebServer, HTTPS, 8000
pass in on $extif proto tcp from any to any port 80 flags S/SA
pass in on $extif proto tcp from any to any port $tcp_services flags
S/SA synproxy state
tcp_services is {22, 443}
I don't understand why they use synproxy state for 22 and 443, but not 80
Because synproxy as a security feature has a drawback: speed. Do you
understand what synproxy does? It completes the three-way-handshake at
the firewall first and only if this succeds it forwards the connection
to the (web)server. This takes some small amount of time.
Acceptable with protocolls like ssh and https but mostly unacceptable
with http.

But here in germany you can rent a lowend dedicated server for about 40 $/month. With static IP and mostly with one or more domain-names.

After modifying the sshd.conf to allow my new IP access via ssh I can't connect. I have stopped and restarted the service and the server and double 'Allow your new ip address' ? What you can specify on /etc/ssh/sshd_config is the ip the server binds to, not the ip addresses of the clients connecting. (your words suggest you did this) - reconfigure your sshd_config to the old value (your ip address, or 0.0.0.0) and re-start sshd. To limit access to the sshd, use a firewall, like ipfw , pf , or ipfilter. in addition you can actually limit access to the sshd with the keywords AllowUsers and AllowGroups with the corresponding user/group _names_ (not uid/gid!!!). But there's no option to do this ip-based (this is possible with packetfilters or tcp-wrapper).

Re: Best way to log from several servers
Hi Thomas, We have a few servers and we are getting tired of having to log into each of them to check the logfile. (like tail -f /var/somelog) Is there a way to log things like /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog to one central logging server ? yes of course: set up a central syslog server. As others mentioned before, the default syslog is not the first choice if you have two aspects to be important: - encryption - reliability Both items are solved, if you use syslog-ng. It works with tcp instead of udp (reliability) and you can tunnel it over ssl or so if you need encryption. Google for syslog-ng central log server and you should find some interesting reading. hth -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Instaling on a Compaq Proliant with SmartArray 221
I'm having problems with Compaq Hardware as well. I don't know if this helps you, but the Compaq SmartArray Adapters have a service partition which must be the boot-partition. Only installed linux on these machines so far. I know that you have to configure the boot-partition for your OS but don't remember if freebsd was an option. -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
XFree86 and Samsung 191T
Hi, recently I'd done me a favour and bought a Samsung SyncMaster 191T TFT-Display. It has two input terminals: a 15 pin D-Sub (Analog RGB) and a Digital DVI-D (Digital RGB). I have two computers attached to it and the one on the analog terminal works just fine. The problem is XFree86 with the digital input. The manufactorer's specs have the following settings: frequency: horizontal (digital): 30-63.3 kHz vertikal: 56-85 Hz If I configure this in XF86Config I get a flickered screen and no usable picture. I run 4.7 stable, my graphic card is a leadtek winfast titanium 200 (geforce 3).

Re: running freebsd os cobalt machines ?
Thomas, We are about to inherit some cobalt raq or qube serves from another company. Now i dont know anything about except that they run some flavour of unix. Is it possible to run freebsd on those. it depends on the version of the Cobalt's. RaQ2 and before had mips processors. I don't think that freebsd will run on them. RaQ3 and later have normal i386 architecture so it should work. Please be aware that cobalt has some strange booting recommendations. A fellow installed netbsd on a raq2 and had to format the root Partition with ext2 filesystem and so on. With my experience regarding the hardware failures of cobalt's, I wouldn't give very much money for them. -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: DNS problem
Hello Hilmi, What is a my problem: reverse address resolving not work correct. What I mean: I use nslookup tool for checking the DNS server, and if I use as server my DNS server all type of resolving work. Still work. The problem is when I use server from the world: example ns1.versatel.net (situation is same with other server from the worl), this server can't find the reverse record for my machines. ok, the first question: how many ip-addresses do you own? Like with the normal dns-resolution, there are authoritative servers for reverse lookup, too. These authoritative servers start with the first part of your ip, say 62 (for 62.58.54.10). Then, there is a server for 58.62 and one for 54.58.62. Maybe the IP class is further divided, but mostly the authoritative server for 54.58.62 should have a record for 10.54.58.62. It's very uncommon that you maintain such a reverse-lookup server youself, so ask you provider who gave you the ip to make the appropriate entry for you. -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Problems w NIC

If yes, there may be a problem between freebsd and your new nic. You said the machine in question is a dual boot machine? Which os OS does it use? And the NIC works well with that other OS. Could you try the following: If some of your other machines runs the same OS as that with the NIC working flawless, try to change the NICs of the two machines (I hope it's not a onboard one). If it's a onboard one try adding a second NIC to the machine and see if that is working. -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: FS Cluster?
Wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm looking for clustering software (?) that will allow me to take 3 PCs, each with a 20GB HD for example, and combine them to form one 60GB disk that could be mounted from a client, and appear as one big disk. I'd imagine I'd need some kind of a front end box that the clients would connect to. I'd also like, but not necessary, the way that it would distribute the data NOT to be something like RAID0, where part of the data is on one server, and part on another...so if one server in the cluster were to fail, the other data would still be accessible. Does anyone have ANY ideas on how this could be done, or what software I should look at? I've been told by some friends who are big RedHat fans that Beowulf could probably do this, but that's Linux based...and I'd rather stick with FreeBSD. IIRC beowulf is kind of a compute cluster. From your description it seems that you are looking for a distributed filesystem. Have a look at the Coda filesystem or the intermezzo filesystem. But be warned: as I looked at them about 18 months ago, they both were not production-ready. -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Resolving hostnames takes forever

Just install the daemontools, then djbdns and configure your machine as a local cache (if it's standalone) or an external cache (if you serve a network). Instructions are on the webpage http://cr.yp.to Beleave me, it's as simple as installing something from ports and kills all your dns-Problems.

I know of IBM, Maxtor and Seagate having this, the others might have it, too. -volker -- Please don't cc me: I read the lists and don't need your message twice :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: How can I get the directory size
Is there a way to figure out the size of a users directory? man du should help you. For example: du -s -h /directory -volker -- Please don't cc me: I read the lists and don't need your message twice :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
