Re: IPv6 rtadv on FreeBSD 8.1?
Not specifically related but I just worked around an issue with a Dell laptop with the xl0 interface which has problems with 8.1. I was experimenting with a IPv6 setup and used an old PC (big and noisy) with the smallest install of 8.1. It worked fine as the tunnel server and ipv6 gateway (using rtadvd). I have an old laptop which is quieter and smaller and again installed the minimum 8.1 and used the same config (with rl0 changed to xl0). It worked fine for its own ipv6 traffic but another test box failed to get packets routed. After much head scratching I gave up on 8.1 and installed 7.3 ( I have all the FreeBSD Mall subscriptions going back years) and no more problems with xl0. Something changed with 8.1 which xl0 does not like while rl0 or re0 interfaces are happy it seems (on the other box). I haven't tried any debugging, sorry. Just thought I would mention it in case someone else has issues :-) Thanks Neil On 30 Jul 2010, at 18:48, Carl Johnson wrote: I have running versions of 7.3 and 8.0, so I tried experimenting with 8.1 in VirtualBox, but I ran into a couple of problems.

I posted that in another thread and replied later when I discovered the problem. It appears that I had somehow put gnus-agent in offline mode, so it worked once I realized that and put it back online. How do you sync the mailboxes together? That sounds like something that could be useful for my configuration. Actually I am trying to move my old mail from Linux to FreeBSD, but syncing might be an easier way to handle moving it. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

This is a followup to note that it does work when I run it on native hardware instead of under VirtualBox. My version of VirtualBox is an old one (2.1.4) running under Linux, so maybe it has some bugs. I had installed FreeBSD under VirtualBox, but installed to a primary partition specifically so that I could later boot directly into it. The odd thing is that I have a similar FreeBSD 7.3 installation which does work properly under VirtualBox. Now if I could just figure out why gnus doesn't work right under emacs I could finish migrating from Linux to FreeBSD. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

It also turns out that I was wrong about it working with manual configuration. I forgot that the automatic configuration sets up the external routing, and I haven't figured out how to do that manually. So it works for my internal network, but nowhere else. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

IPv6 rtadv on FreeBSD 8.1?
I have running versions of 7.3 and 8.0, so I tried experimenting with 8.1 in VirtualBox, but I ran into a couple of problems. I have an 8.0 system that is running a IPv6 tunnel to sixxs.net, and it is running rtadvd to act as the gatway for my network. On the 8.1 system I enabled IPv6 in rc.conf, but it is not picking up the advertised address. I can add it manually, and have put it in rc.local for now, but it seems it should work automatically as my others do. I noticed that the ifconfig output shows a new line that is not in 8.0: nd6 options=3 Is there something that has changed in 8.1 that I have to enable, or is there a problem with 8.1? IPv6 is working to the extent that it did assign a link-local address, and I can use that address as long as I specify the interface. My configuration is the same, and I didn't have to enable anything on the others to get the global address assigned automatically.
