Re: [OT]Using sendmail(or something else) as my smtp for all user on mynetwork

2003-09-15 Thread lukek
Try configuring the reply to address in the mailer soft to point to the
comcast address rather than the local server and that should work.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

I'm not very versed in sendmail and I'm not sure if this is possible so I
thought I'd asked the list.

I have a home network that consists of 2 freebsd machines and 3 windows
machines. I'd like to set everyone up to use sendmail (or any mta for that
matter) as the smtp server. But I would like everyone to keep their email
address that end in comcast.net. Is this possible? If so where do I look for
information and tutorials on this.

I don't want any outgoing mail from my network to go to comcast at all, but
I
want to make sure if some one replies to the mail it get back to the sender.

TIA

Re: Is this disk toast ?

2003-08-24 Thread lukek
Thanks for the reply Kris,

I have tried re-formatting this disk and even whacked it into a winblows box
with the hope of writing out another partition table but no luck thus far.

Can someone give me some ideas on what to do about this ?

I wonder if the better policy is to not run inherently insecure applications
to begin with. In theory if no-one can get to that box or make use of that
application from the internet then your only threats become internal ones.

Just for curiosity sake what does nmap tell you about your box/interface
from an outside perspective ? Another great check is sockstat -4 which will
list the services running and the IP/port number there running on.

Wierd problems with rsync

2003-08-22 Thread lukek
Hi,
I have managed to generate some weird errors over the last few years playing
with *nix type systems but this one takes the cake.

Whilst rsync'ing a directory I got the following error twice in a row

Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input.
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (426487689 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (182042 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

Does anyone have any ideas ?

-bash-2.05b$ uname -r
4.8-RELEASE

-bash-2.05b$ rsync -v
rsync  version 2.5.6  protocol version 26

 Any pointers are really appreciated, This machine is a file server that has
sucessfully crashed four times in the last week with hardware issues and
just when I thought I had that beat I get this lot.

Re: How to get the software

2003-07-31 Thread lukek
hey Pal,
check out the website they have the full list of mirrors for downloading
FreeBSD.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

is the best place to start your search. You want to have in the back of your
mind also that there are quite a few different branches of the software so
let me answer your next question which would be " Which version do I want?"

For most intents and purposes you will want FreeBSD4.8-Release. This is the
newest release of the more stable 4.x branch. There is a 5.x branch but if
you are new to FreeBSD and indeed new to *nix software and environments then
4.8 will bring you a much more stable and simplified experience. Having said
all of that the choice is entirely up to you.

Another recommendation is that you purchase a copy of the Handbook by Greg
Lehey. It will come with a copy of the CD as well as a pretty comprehensive
guide to getting yourself up and running with all the basics. Again the
decision to purchase is up to you.

here is a place to look for that

telnet 0 25 should give you a glimpse of what version you are running and to

PPPoE load balancing

2003-06-03 Thread lukek
Hello,
Let me apologise firstly if this is a topic which has been thrashed to death
on this list.  I need some advice before I get myself into a hole that is
very deep, dark and lonely.

I need to add an additional DSL line to my exisiting network to keep up with
the expanding bandwidth requirements of the users. In a situation like this
my first reaction would be to get some fibre into the office and take it
from there but the building we are currently in is unsuitable for fibre (
according to the provider ) therefore for the interim I have no choice but
to get additional DSL circuits.

My question is how difficult is it to get one FBSD router to reliably manage
multiple DSL circuits. These circuits would have static IP addresses
probably /28 on the outside and there are two distinct networks internally.
An ethernet segment and a wireless segment.

I am using IPFilter and IPNat to provide simple NAT functions and simple
firewalling functions. If I create further external links ie tun0 and tun1
will this create problems for NAT ? I am contemplating separating the two
internal networks so that the ethernet segment gets routed to tun0 and
wireless to tun1. Would I need two instances of IPNat and IPFilter or can I
wrap all the rules into one instance of these tools ?

Is there a smarter way to do this ?

Any advice is appreciated as I suspect that this is not a trivial thing to
accomplish reliably and given no other real options at this time I have to
come up with a solution that is reliable. Ideally it would be great to be
able to get load balancing and failover working but I won't push my luck.

Thanks for that, you are of course absolutely correct however here in Japan
the provider of the local loops does not provide T3's and all circuits over
128K are fibre. So I am stuck.  This solution only has to hold together for
about 6mths then we move offices and I can get a proper fibre connection but
until then I need a band aid solution.

 DSL is not meant for multiple links. Having multiple links and running BGP
 with your provider will work, but likely should use a non-PPPoE DSL
 implementation . Best solution is either multiple T1's and a real router
or
 a T3 of some sort if you can't get fibre.

IPFilter and PPTP

2003-06-02 Thread lukek
Hi,
I have a small question relating to IPFilter. I have started using this on
my firewall and the users need to establish PPTP connections to a different
office to collect their mail and use certain applications remotely. I have
managed to get it working on a one to one mapping basis but the concept I am
aiming for is dynamic NAT of all the private addresses in to one single
address but this requires some fancy rules that I cannot get worked out.
The network looks something like this

TUN0   a.b.c.d/29
___|_
|FBSD|rl1
||-- wireless segment 10.0.0.2/24
 |rl2
 | ethernet segment 10.0.0.5/24


Now each of the internal interfaces use DHCP to assign addresses to client
and I want to map each internal interface to an external IP ie

rdr tun0 a.b.c.d/32 - 10.0.0.5/24
rdr tun0 a.b.c.e/32 - 10.0.0.2/24

The remote VPN server appears to be a MS box.

I would prefer not to use static IP assignments as whilst there are only a
couple of users now there are more on their way and dynamic is the way I
would prefer to manage this in the long run.

Any advice people can offer would be really appreciated.

Cheers

thanks for the advice but neither GAG, Grub or FreeBSD bootloaders work for

 Is Win2K on a different hard drive than FreeBSD?  If so, then to use the
 FreeBSD bootloader, you must install it on both drives.  GAG, which has
 been suggested, is a nice bootloader, and the FAQ on the FreeBSD web site
 has some directions to boot both FreeBSD and Win using the NT/Win2K
 bootloader.

 That's 3 options, should be enough to find a solution that works for you.

Re: Doh ! Installed FBSD5.0 and no more dual boot

2003-06-01 Thread lukek
OK thanks for the offer of assistance. The machine in question has two
drives ad0 and ad1. On ad0 there was a native NTFS partition with Win2K
installed. On a separate partion I had Redhat. I decided to get rid of the
redhat installation and use FreeBSD again. So I installed
FreeBSD-5.0Release. It had its way with the MBR and now Win2K cannot boot. I
cannot use the recovery option because I cannot for the life of me remember
the admin passwd. So I installed GAG. GAG detects all installed OS's but
when trying to boot to Win2K it gives the same error ie NTLDR is missing
press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot.

Grub gave the same errors even though it also detected the installation. I
thought to be a bit creative and revert to a RedHat install to recover the
MBR but it complains about incorrectly aligned partitions or some such. The
disk is not hosed but the MBR is not healthy.

The bios is fine I have been changing that to boot from CD/Floppy/HDD when
necessary.

Any additional light you can shed on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

 Why a whole new installation?  Why not just repair the currently installed
 Win2K?  (Boot from your Win2K CD.  You can automatically repair or
manually
 "fix" the master boot record and boot sector, which will cause the
computer
 to boot Win2K again.  Then you can install GAG, the FreeBSD bootloader or
 use the Win2K bootloader.

 Or is it as simple as forgetting to change the BIOS cback to booting from
 your hard drive after booting from CD?

 If you're still flummoxed, provide more info about your setup and you'll
 get more help.

You are absolutely correct during the installation process I chose to have
FreeBSD install it's own boot loader just as I had a number of times before
with older versions but there must be a subtle difference between the older
versions and the latest.

The disk is showing that the NTFS partition is active ( I have used a number
of tools to check on this ) but no cigar.

Thanks for your assistance thus far. I will keep looking for something to

 installation has never done anything to the MBR I haven't told it to
 (correctly or mistakenly;).  See whether the Win2K partition is set
active.

  I
  cannot use the recovery option because I cannot for the life of me
  remember
  the admin passwd.

 Doh! indeed.  Then if setting the Win2K partition active doesn't work, I'm
 out of better options than your suggestion to do a fresh install and mount
 the old Win2K partition from there. But I'm no guru.  Anyone else have a
 suggestion?

Re: Doh ! Installed FBSD5.0 and no more dual boot

2003-06-01 Thread lukek
thanks for that hint. I am in the process of doing precisely that. I figure
I can cp all the files to the samba share and then swipe and reload and
should be able to get all the important stuff back. It is just a matter of
spending my time now to accomplish this.

Appreciated the help on this. Winblows did somehow get broken and even
trying to reinstall winblows did not work it actually came up with the same
problem so I am now just hoping that disk is not trashed.

Thanks
LukeK

 Tell me something:   Does FreeBSD boot?

 It seems to me Win2k is somehow broken but, if FreeBSD can boot
 then you can read the NTFS slice, therefore you can make a backup
 of your data storesd in Win2k slice.

 mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt

 will mount slice 1 of ATA disk 0 if it contains an NTFS file system.

Re: Installing a network interface

2003-06-01 Thread lukek
when you rebooted after installing the card did it show up in dmesg ? Check
if the interface has been detected by

#dmesg |grep rl ( rl if it is a realtek card or whatever the abbreviation is
for your manufacturer )


If the card is there then all you have to do is use the ifconfig cmd to
bring the interface up. To make this automatic edit rc.conf to suit your
setup and it should be fine

BTW which release/version are you using ?

Subject: Installing a network interface


 Can somebody help me with this question?
 Whne trying to install additional network interfaces with using
 /stand/sysinstall

 I get the screen "Network interface information required"

 However ethernet card details are not detected in the menu. I am using
 freebsd version 4.4

 In an earlier installation with a realtek card , the details came up and
 installation was possible.

 How do I make sure that the card is detected in the installation?


 Thanks

Doh ! Installed FBSD5.0 and no more dual boot

2003-05-31 Thread lukek
Hi,
I have done something pretty silly and not sure now how to recover. I
installed 5.0 release on my desktop which was primarily a Win2k machine and
now there is no option to dual boot. Well there is but when I choose the F1
??? option instead of booting win2k is give me a message telling me that
NTLDR cannot be found.

Can anyone shed any light on a work around for this. I am truly stumped.

Thanks

LukeK
