I have search high and low for the answer to this, DegaNews, mail
archives, sendmail FAQ, ppp FAQ you name it...
Running 2.2.1-R, will be CTMing up to 2.2.2-R
Anyway I want the proverbial home network and ppp to ISP set up with the
right hostnames and domains.
Having just got to grips with setting up my FreeBSD box with my ISP for
news, mail etc. I want to tweak the set-up so that I dont have the
FreeBSD box hostname+domain name to be the ISP defined.
First in IP addresses the net looks like this
+------+ +---------------------+
| ISP | -- ppp -- | tun0, 158.152.46.40 |
+------+ +==== FreeBSD box ====+
| ep0, 192.168.200.32 |
+---------------------+
|
e +------------------------+
t-----| Win 95, 192.168.200.33 |
h +------------------------+
e
r +------------------------+
|-----| Sun3/60 192.168.200.34 |
+------------------------+
Before the ppp link the machines were:
machine hostname domain name
FreeBSD computer my.domain
Win 95 jenni my.domain
Sun 3 iceberg my.domain
Now, my ISP assigned hostname is "ragnet.demon.co.uk" so the the
machines are currently:
machine hostname domain name
FreeBSD ragnet demon.co.uk
Win 95 jenni my.domain
Sun 3 iceberg my.domain
I would like to go back to the original set-up and have the FreeBSD box
treat the ppp link just as a link to the outside world. I think the only
problem is with sendmail? (if the "best" solution is smail or whatever
then thats fine too)
What I so far understand I need to do is
- have a sendmail.mc file with things like
nodns
masquerade_as
masquerade_envelope
smtp expensive?
- probably run a caching name-server on "computer"
I dont know where to start on the nameserver, whenever I have tried the
sendmail stuff it doesnt work (headers dont get re-written etc.) and yes
I do restart sendmail.
What I dont understand
- does the hostname= line in sysconfig specify the
hostname and doamin of "computer" or is the
domain specified in /etc/resolve.conf.
- why doesn't this sendmail.mc fiole work?
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
DOMAIN(generic)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mailertable')dnl
define(`UUCP_RELAY', ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU)dnl
define(`BITNET_RELAY', mailhost.Berkeley.EDU)dnl
define(`CSNET_RELAY', mailhost.Berkeley.EDU)dnl
define(`confCW_FILE', `-o /etc/sendmail.cw')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`ragnet.demon.co.uk')dnl
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
FEATURE(`nodns')dnl
- what does the sendmail.cw file do?
As a brief aside I have sort of determined that the following static routes
help my life a little (allows me to telnet 158.152.46.40 when ppp not
up) are they bad/wrong/odd? From /etc/sysconfig
#static_routes="foo multicast"
#route_foo="woofo woofo-gw"
#route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 10.0.0.1"
static_routes="loop_ppp loop_ed0 default"
route_loop_ppp="158.152.46.40 127.0.0.1"
route_loop_ed0="192.168.200.32 127.0.0.1"
route_default="default 158.152.1.222"
As way of a thank-you I am finishing off a INN/SUCK howto and set of painless
scripts which should be finished in a few days (docbook is soo
verbose...)
Thanks
Duncan
