Recently I had problems connecting and found that the boc would keep rebooting after trying to sync devices. The tech guys went into single user mode and started basic stuff so I could remote telnet and fix things. 1. I found that SCSI disk #1 was not responding. #0 is ok, #2 is ok, #1 is gone. I had web and user homes in this disk. 2. I removed the scsi#1's entry from fstab 3. cretaed dirs for user home and web home in #2, and linked the original names to the new dirs, and unzipped backups. 4. I restarted the box. Here is what I find problems now: 5. Mail to virtual host gives error. any mail to USER@VIRTHOST1.com being sent gives this error 554 MX list for VIRTHOST1.com. points back to MAINDOMAIN.com 554 ... Local configuration error The MX record has not been updated recently, and before the disk crash things were just great. 6. I did restart the box, and I can reach the web sites of the virtual domains. I can nslookup them all. And the box is responding to all IPs. Please see the extract from logs at the end. Questions and Need-Help areas: Q1. Should the MX record of a virtual host point to itself or to the primary? Q2. Since that updation takes time to take effect, is there anything in sendmail I can configure to accept mails for the virtual hosts as a quick fix? Q3. Is qmail any better than sendmail in this regard? Q4. After the device da1 is ignored for not finding the disk, why does sendmail give error about fill_fd? I have created links to the web and user homes, why should any software care for the actual device where the names are mounted/linked? Q5. How can I find remotely if the disk failed or the adapter cable or something? I mean I bought the three SCSI disks same time, same place. Any help will be highly appreciated. Please respond to shashi@WEBSI.com since that is the only email address that seems to working currently.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all; Up until now, I've never really had any need to play around with named (beyond configuring it to do local lookups). I am going to need to do virtual hosting for some of my customers quite soon, and I find I need a bit of advice in setting up the config files. My ISP is currently providing all the DNS resolution I need for the moment. (And, their name servers have authority over my domain). They are only providing basic DNS services, though. So, I want to add a few more hosts to my domain (eg, NEWHOST.sasknow.com), as well as do virtual hosting for other domain names. I've got 8 IP addresses, from x.y.z.96 through x.y.z.103. I'd like to set up .102 and .103 as primary and secondary nameservers. (NS1.SASKNOW.COM NS2.SASKNOW.COM, for lack of better names :) My big question: Is there a way for me to easily (and safely) TEST my configuration of named without breaking the functionality of my ISPs setup? (i.e., I don't want to take over authority for my domain name until I'm SURE I've got it right :-) Hmm... Maybe I could "invent" a bogus domain name and try requests on the local machine? Hmm... :-) Thanks!

No one on the outside will use your name servers until you update your domain at Internic. So you can turn on named and use nslookup/dig to test your setup before cutting over. You don't even need to use it yourself other than for testing. Leave /etc/resolv.conf pointing at your ISP and specify your servers when invoking nslookup or dig for testing purposes. You do have a copy of DNS and BIND, right?

I'm using a FreeBSD 3.1-r machine, connected to UPC cable services here in Amsterdam. The LANCity connects directly to a 10 Mbit/h NIC. According to UPC I need to DHCP my NIC but after doing this once manually, my IP never changed and I hardcoded this in rc.conf. I believe 3.3-r supports DHCP by default from floppyboot. Btw: I'm NAT'ting on this FreeBSD machine to a small local net for a windows machine and my laptop. Works excellent, although I hope UPC is not subscribed to this list :) I'm not sure how this Foxtel connects to your machine, but if it's via a NIC, you're safe. I don't have any experience with a serial cablemodem.

I don't have any experience with a serial cablemodem. BTW, the cable-modems here in Australia (Foxtel's) do radio frequency <-> ethernet (RF to 10BastT). I know someone who is using linux and ipfw to run a NAT'd lan off the one IP that Foxtel give him (DHCP) when he connects - he reports it works very well.

Just put two NICs in and connect one to the CM and the other to a hub so you can NATd and such. As one guy puts it: "Let's go see what's interesting on Cable tonight". tcpdump and connect logs will quickly demo why you want some kind of firewall. Most of the cable subnets use DHCP, but rarely change addresses so you can either use the DHCP w/FBSD3.3-R or get the DHCP port or just fix the address in /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.conf, depending on your time. Subnet masks have either been 256 addresses or 1024 addresses per subnet here. If you use ipfw to block 'ping's, you will see many fewer attacks.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a CORE registrar (other than NSI) who has all of their forms and scripts in order so that changes can quickly and easily be made on the web or with encoded email. I got suckered in by domainbank.net's pretty homepage and didn't realize until after I paid them that, in order to make changes, I have to contact their support team so that they can manually change the records. I also found out that transfers between registrars aren't being handled on a COREwide basis, but through individual agreements between registrars. (At least, that's what the domainbank rep told me.) Argh!!! If anyone knows of a CORE registrar that offers superior service, this is the time to let me know... please! Regards, Greg -- Gregory S.

The scary thing is that it wasn't a disk failure -- all volumes are on the DPT RAID controller, and we didn't loose RAID. Some software thing must have clobbered the volume, and that's a Bad Thing. Anyway, when trying to boot the machine, I get a Not UFS no kernel no /boot/loader My thoughts are to boot from installation floppy, examine the partition table, and perhaps re-disklable the root volume. If that doesn't work, I guess I may have to reinstall the OS and restore everything from backup tape :-( Anyone here have experience with really-dead boxes (especially a similar situation) , and the best way to revive them? As to the crash itself, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what caused it. the console displayed: vm_fault: pagereader, pid 59232 (sshd1) spec_getpages: I/O read failure (error code = 5) size: 24576, resid: 24576, a_count 24576 valid 0x0 nread:0 readpage:0 pindex:0 pcount:6 My *guess* is that sshd1 failed because of the OS failure (not the other way around: the sshd1 daemon overwriting the low sectors), but that's just a guess.

A couple of issues come to mind: * First, it's not necessry for the resolver on a given host (that is running a nameserver) to actually use the (local) nameserver. This is the observation that is central to the "split DNS" function found often in firewalls -- the externally visible machine runs a nameserver (for external consumption), but relies on an internal nameserver for hostname resolution for local processes. * In sendmail (dunno about other MTAs), it's possible to force suppression of the MX lookup by either placing the hostname part of the address is square brackets or by including the F=0 flag on the mailer (delivery agent). The latter is generally preferred. >I'd rather not have a separate named for our.mastermail.server; it would >be hell to administer. I'm sure you have (good) reasons for that assessment, but I confess that they aren't apparent to me at this time.

Telstra has been dragging their heels for some time now and finally announced plans to deploy it about 2 weeks ago. The suggestion was though it wouldn't actually be available till this time next year. The other item of note was that the ACCC recently ruled that Telstra had to allow 3rd party providers access to their local loops, i.e. the wires from exchange to customer premises. That means its now possible for those 3rd parties to provide things like xDSL without the need to lay cable to every house in the country. Needless to say this is all a bit new and while policy now exists, the mechanics of getting non-Telstra equipment into their exchanges are still being worked out. Sadly this is all moot anyway, as the big disincentive in Oz till now has been the ongoing tariffs applied to data circuits not the costs of having them installed in any event. Until we find out what they're going to charge for xDSL it would be foolish to make decisions about it. Cheers, Enno.

Nope. What you want to do is probably best served through the use of a mailertable, if you're using sendmail on our.mastermail.server. Compile a sendmail.cf with FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable'), and create a text file /etc/mail/mailertable to map domains to intended destination hosts: some.dom smtp:[their.dialin.server] The angle brackets in the file suppress MX lookups, and cause your mail server to forward directly to the host in question. Compile the mailertable into a hash table with: makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db < /etc/mail/mailertable and restart sendmail. Then you only need to put the MX record pointing to our.mastermail.server in the zone file for that customer's domain, and sendmail will handle the rest.

I have run 2 x tcpblast from a 450Mhz PIII with one 3Com 905B, to a Sun Enterprise 5000, through a swithched network. I was able to sustain ~97Mb/s. While this puts minimal load on the systems, it does show that that much data can be sent through a single nic. Tim. Tim.

And it's not really spoofing, we just have multiple connections that we're trying to use on one machine.. If you can understand this, what i'm really looking for is for sort of 2 default gateways.. it should be like this. 208.45.16.x (xl0) should have a default gateway of 208.45.16.249 205.252.42.x (ed1) should have a default gateway of 205.252.42.97 .. Remember, they *ARE* on seperate interfaces, so I see no reason why this shouldn't be possible one way or another, either with gated, or without, or however :).. I know you can do this in IRIX and i *think* linux ;) So, it should be possible on bsd.. however, how, is the hard question :) Does anyone see how this would be possible? Thanks in Advance!

It is also my understanding that you would need to have a carrier licence to have access to it.... What is realy worth keeping in mind though is that in many areas (particually Country areas) the cable would be more trouble than it is worth, as it has not been maintained very well, design rules have been ignored and given that Telstra now uses managers with little experience in this field, nothing is likely to change. For those that have knowledge in this area I am referring to changes in cable conductor diameter, the lack of screen continuity and general poor management practices (Pair Gain Systems). There is also the issue of ISP using a copper / satelite solution which may be more feasible / affordable even though it has its limitations. This is not to say that we should avoid the issue of adsl, but we should understand some of the head aches we might get, particually if you do not have an understanding of current Telstra cable practices.... To give but 1 example have any of you got cusrtomers 2 to 3 KM from an exchange complaining about dropouts and unable to get a connection. While in theory this is considered a reasonable distance from the exchange, in practice if there are 2 or 3 changes in the cable conductor size then it is conceivable that the line loss will be outside the 6.5 db limit. If the customer or yourself report the phone as being unable to connect then Telstra will perform DC line tests which do not measure line loss, they will then turn around and telll you the problem is your customer equipment.... The worrying part of all this is that Telstra has not trained its fault staff to look for such problems, and given the cost of repairing such problems they are unlikely to do so. regards Tim -----Original Message----- From: Enno Davids To: jesse reynolds Cc: jwyatt@rwsystems.net ; danny@clari.net.au ; freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tuesday, 19 October 1999 9:16 Subject: Re: cable modems and FreeBSD >| jesse@va.com.au wrote: >| >| This is a bit off the topic, but how accessable is ADSL in Australia? >| I'm very keen to know how much, who to organise it through, where >| they'll install it etc. >| > >Not offerred anywhere commercially yet AFAIK.

Here's what I think I understand of your problem. You are direct connected to subnet 208.45.16.x/y and there is a gateway on that subnet, 208.45.16.248, beyond which is a larger network I'll call A. You are also direct connected to a subnet 205.252.42.x/y and the gateway on that network, 205.252.42.97 connects to a larger network I'll call B. A filters B, and B filters A. For accesses to your box that originate on network A, you need the return traffic to go back to A via 208.45.16.248. Likewise, you need packets that are return traffic to network B to exit your topology via 205.252.42.97. Am I right? To do this, your box must know the subnets that are both in network A, and network B. You need static routes for each of them, or your box must learn them via a routing protocol. Also, you must take care that your applications are not bound to a particular IP address or the return traffic to one of the networks will have a filtered IP address. Alternatively, you may be able to use ipfw and rule based forwarding as a means to the end. Say your box's ip addresses are 208.45.16.a and 205.252.42.b. You apply a rule that forwards packets with a source address of 208.45.16.a to 208.45.16.249. You apply another rule that forwards packets with a source address of 205.252.42.b to 205.252.42.97. You may want to have some extra rules to ensure that traffic destined to the attached subnets doesn't get bounced off the routers. - Barrett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Wed Oct 20 1:17:31 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from di.nl (di.nl [194.134.3.197]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 286ED1A864 for ; Wed, 20 Oct 1999 01:17:03 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from joep@di.nl) Received: (from joep@localhost) by di.nl (8.9.3/8.9.3) id KAA33109; Wed, 20 Oct 1999 10:09:54 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from joep) Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1999 10:09:54 +0200 From: Joep Grooten To: Deepwell Internet Cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Trouble ticket software.

You might try looking at the file created as a result of "ndc dumpdb", to see if the domain is mentioned there. (The activity in question is suggested against the internal nameserver.) You might also try doing an "nslookup" in debug mode, to find out what queries are being issued.

I'm looking into alternative arrangements locally, but I expect to have to go offshore. Traffic is expensive in NZ, and contra deals take time to arrange. I need an ISP with reasonable ping times to New Zealand, and a FreeBSD background who can purchase and install a fairly generic freebsd machine, and then leave me to it. I'd need to be sure I had emergency back up on the spot, but would administer the machine myself. Traffic is currently around 250MB/day, and expected to double by the end of the year and keep climbing at a somewhat slower rate thereafter. We need something like a PII, 128MB ram, 6GB 7200rpm drive. Could anyone interested please contact me ASAP with details of how you'd approach this. I'd like to have something in production next week if it can be done.

I'd like to create a FreeBSD installation and then duplicate it onto multiple PC's, only changing the hostname and IP address. This would be done with 3.3-RELEASE, and is necessary because the boxes will be identical except for location. Off the top of my head, two easy methods come to mind : 1 - install, customise, dd the drive and then dd onto the new drives (they are identical) 2 - install a standard distribution, and then cp / untar the customised machine via NFS 1) assumes the same hardware (not always true) and 2) means duplication of work (and is inefficient). Does anyone have any other bright ideas ? How easy is sysinstall to customise and make modifications to base files (like customising tcp_wrappers), and installing the ssh port ? That would be the extent of the customisation, primarily. Something like Norton Ghost springs to mind, but I'd like to do this as cheaply as possible (and Ghost is nightmarish from what I understand). Pointers to docs/resources appreciated. I couldn't find anything with the searches I conducted, and this was the group I was certain would be most likely to be doing this kind of thing. --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@iafrica.com ; khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za FreeBSD enthusiast * http://www2.za.freebsd.org/ Stupidest quote heard : Who is this BSD, and why should we free him ?

It's also possible that you're running out of open file descriptors, either though a login.conf definition, or a kernel limit: http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/descriptors.html I've seen the same errors (can't spawn) when the server is unable to open files. --Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Sat Oct 23 15:16:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from loki.intrepid.net (intrepid.net [204.71.127.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1BE2314C2C for ; Sat, 23 Oct 1999 15:16:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mark@loki.intrepid.net) Received: (from mark@localhost) by loki.intrepid.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA04511; Sat, 23 Oct 1999 18:15:59 -0400 Message-ID: <19991023181559.A4134@intrepid.net> Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 18:15:59 -0400 From: Mark Conway Wirt To: Khetan Gajjar , freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Rolling multiple FreeBSD installations References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.2 In-Reply-To: ; from Khetan Gajjar on Sat, Oct 23, 1999 at 01:28:17AM +0200 Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Sat, Oct 23, 1999 at 01:28:17AM +0200, Khetan Gajjar wrote: > Hi. > > I'd like to create a FreeBSD installation and then duplicate > it onto multiple PC's, only changing the hostname and IP address. > This would be done with 3.3-RELEASE, and is necessary > because the boxes will be identical except for location. Well, an elegant solution would be to mirror the current CVS repository, make any local changes you need, commit them back to your local copy of CVS, and they create your own release. At that point you could write a CD, or install from FTP. You'd still need to make a few changes on each one (IP address, name), but you could have unlimited customization. --Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
