Have a look into the manpage of init(8) for the backgrounds. Then you can edit /etc/rc.conf and change the value for kern_securelevel. But have a look into /etc/rc, there's a line (line 624 on my box) con- taining "in [ "${kern_securelevel}" -ge 0 ]; then". The lines below this line raise the securelevel, if the value is 0 or greater. But if I set kern_securelevel="0" (in /etc/rc.conf), the securelevel raises up to 1. So I changed in /etc/rc, line 624 the "ge" into "gt" and I got X started. At this time I don't understand correctly the behaviour of /etc/rc. Perhaps this is a bug? Any comments? Hope, this helps.

Sure is nice m$ keeps providing me with free computers, as they get more and more resource hungr :-) 3 of them are P75's, and 1 is a P90 The P75'a have BIOS'es D.08.01,D.06.03, and D.08.03. I am isntalling brand new Quantam 20G IDE drives as the only thing on the IDE busses (No CD's). When I look in Setup on all the P75's, I see that they are detecting the disks as 8468MB 16383/63/16 preload -116382 Ther is an XL flag which is on on some, and off on oters. All these machines boot fine after I do an install (from the hard disks). The P90 however I have been unable to get to boot after repeated installs :-( It Has BIOS version GT.07.02. The setup screen here has many more options related to hard disk. First It wan'ts to know if I want to use "Standard" or,"Extended" transfer methi\od. Rhere is a note that "Standard" might need to be used on "UNIX" systems, I think this might mean SCO. This option is gloabal to all the IDE controlers/disks on the machine. On a per disk bassis, the choces are: Multi Sector Transfers: disable/2/4/8/16 LBA mode control enabled/disabled 32 bit I/O Enabled/Disbaled Transfer mode standard/Fast Pio 1,2,3, or 4 Considering it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to do a minimal install to test each choice, and that there are a lareg number of choices :-( I could be here a while (days ?). Can some kkind soul that understands the hardware issues here, pleas educate me? Thanks! At this point in time, i have also tyried the following additional things. 1. Tried to install on a 4G drive in this machine. 2. Tries a 20G from one of the P75's in tis machien. Neither of them worked. The 4G drive when I first put it in, booted NT (don't ask what taht was doing on the drive :)), so I know the machien is OK. I feel relativley certain that if I cna get in touch with some kind soul thatactually understands the boot process, this can be made to work. Please someone make some sugeations.

I've got an Advansys 940UW(68) SCSI card with a lost BIOS. Have been booting to sda (da0) with a Linux zdisk floppy kernel because I cannot boot to the SCSI device. This has never been a problem, actually, I liked it for a few reasons. Problem now: da1 is a seagate drive that I installed version 4.1 of our little demon on. Install went fine, but now my system is bsd-unbootable. Because the boot manager would go on da0 (where it wouldn't get read anyway), I opted not to install one. My original naive thinking was that I would build a zdisk-like floppy, or put the boot manager on a floppy. Hours searching the archives of this list have almost led me to admit defeat in that area. I can't "boot: 1:da(1,a)/kernel" because the SCSI BIOS hasn't read the drive, and the PC BIOS doesn't see the SCSI devices (AMIBIOS R2.1). I'm trying to get the BIOS fixed, but the flash applications are all windows. Am I stuck for now? I *can* boot from ATAPI CDrom, would it be easy enough to build a bootable CDrom that mounts da1s1a as the root filesystem? -J -- Jonathan Pennington | http://coastalgeology.org Site Manager | Protection and stewardship CoastalGeology.Org (CGO) | through public education. john@coastalgeology.org | Join CGO, make a difference.

No. You can change it to whatever shell you like. Just remeber that it can be a good idea to have whatever shell root is using statically linked. This reduces problems when /usr isn't mounted or the dynamic loader has broken. One common thing to do is to leave root's shell alone and create another user with uid 0 and whatever shell you like.

Yes, and none of the standard components are installed under /usr/local so I don't quite see what the problem is.

I appreciate any and all responces. Thank you for your time. I actively run FreeBSD full-time on about a dozen boxes or so, and have personally set up many more. It does not have a blue screen of death. (Though panics are fun, I have personally only witnessed a few: once, I forced it myself to get a kernel dump. Once, a disk controller gave up the ghost. Once, a junior sysadmin attempted to run a heavily loaded server sans CPU fan. Once, it was definitely software related... but that was during a test of the -CURRENT branch after a major commit :-) FreeBSD comes with cc (gcc, actually), so C, C++. Perl 5 is also installed with the base system. PHP3 and PHP4, as well as a host of others, are available in our ports collection. FreeBSD will work with a variety of network cards, and supports many DSL implementations, as well as DHCP. Our network is provisioned differently, but I have heard some success stories of others with various DSL providers. Certainly don't know about Verizon. If this doesn't generate any replies, try to post it as another specific question. It depends what sort of "school stuff" you want to do. There are some things that FreeBSD (or, more generally, UNIX) isn't. You could probably write your school paper in UNIX, and even print it, given sufficient time and experience with something like ghostscript, but your mileage may vary significantly.

Another poster has pointed you in this direction. And, of course, you can start daemons manually. Specify the full path, as other replies have mentioned. The accepted way to invoke a daemon at boot time under FreeBSD is to add a shell script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ Go to that directory and look at some of the existing files to get an idea of how to create such a shell script. > Regards > Russell > Hope this helps, - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 10 12:29:36 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 10 12:29:33 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ren.sasknow.com (ren.sasknow.com [207.195.92.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C9C8A37B400 for ; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 12:29:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (ryan@localhost) by ren.sasknow.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA85062; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 14:29:00 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from ryan@sasknow.com) Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 14:29:00 -0600 (CST) From: Ryan Thompson To: Chris Cook Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Corrupted File System?

Unless your disk/controller is actually hosed, you should not get such "repeat" errors if you follow these guidelines.

I have since customized and rebuilt the kernel. Recently, the 'make install' command has been giving me the following error: chflags noschg /kernel chflags: /kernel: Operation not permitted *** Error code 1 (ignored) mv /kernel /kernel.old mv: rename /kernel to /kernel.old: Operation not permitted *** Error code 1 I am logged in as root and I have been able to execute make install before. My other question involves my PCI NIC. I have a 3Com 3c-450. This card is supported by FreeBSD but FreeBSD has problems configuring it. When the kernel is loaded the following message appears: xl0: <3Com 3c450-TX HomeConnet> irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0 xl0: couldn't map ports/memory device_probe_and_attach: xl0 attach returned 6 If I run ifconfig there is no device xl0. I do not think that my NIC is being initiallized by FreeBSD. My last question involves my sound card. I have a SoundBlaster Live and FreeBSD recognizes it but has difficulty configuring it. The following message appears: pcm0: irg 10 at device 14.0 on pci0 pcm0: unable to map register space device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 All of the irqs are correct for the devices. These devices are PCI cards and I did try to add the ports/memory info for the SB Live card in MYKERNEL but was unsuccessful. Thanks for your assistance....

My only experience with it is two failed installations. My installations goes well, I get a message saying that the installation is done, and asks if I would like to go to graphical mode. When I select yes, my screen goes a funny combination of white and black dots/lines reminiscent of what I see during XF86 startup on my linux machine. My screen stays that way, and nothing else happens. I can't get out of that screen shot except by cycling power to the machine. My instincts told me on the first hang that it was a fluke. The second time I thought video card incompatibility. I tried to find info on video card compatibility for BSD itself. The compatibility list I found didn't include any information on video. I then looked for compatibility with XF86. The compatibility list there was pretty short, and did not contain my particular device. FTR, I am using an Amptron PM-598 mb, with an onboard SiS530 Built-in 64-bit 3D v1.0 AGP Graphics accelerator (read: P.O.S.). Am I on the right track looking at video card compatibility? Are there resources other than 'BSD's website, manuals, etc. that I may be overlooking? Ideas?

Well, nothing from the `base system' should go under /usr/local or something is very wrong with your installation. I find the FreeBSD semantics very clear in this matter. "What comes from /usr/src and the base system sources eventually ends up under /usr somewhere, when installed. What comes from the ports, ends up being installed somewhere under /usr/local." Seems ok to me. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 10 13:30:56 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 10 13:30:53 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail7.wlv.netzero.net (mail7.wlv.netzero.net [209.247.163.57]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 5121837B400 for ; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 13:30:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 11904 invoked from network); 10 Dec 2000 21:30:14 -0000 Received: from pppa78-resaledalecity1-3r7153.dialinx.net (HELO David) (4.54.51.43) by mail7.wlv.netzero.net with SMTP; 10 Dec 2000 21:30:14 -0000 From: "David Abdemoulaie" To: "FreeBSD-Questions Mailing List" Subject: Installation of FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE w/ USB mouse Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 16:30:49 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE and an Intellimouse Explorer USB (fancy one with lights and 5 buttons).

Ideas? You're on the right track. FreeBSD does not support video cards for Graphics, XFree86 does. Try searching their website harder and for the Sis chip. If the chip is suported (somebody else may know if it is) you can probably get the card to work with X. So you have a few options: --run freebsd without X installed. You would still have a lot of things available to you, and could learn a lot about FreeBSD, Unix, computers in general, and many other things. You could still have internet access. Just choose the non-X install. --get a new video card. There are video cards that work with XFree that are pretty cheap. you would have to do some searching. --try the Xfree86configure, non graphical program. It can sometimes work where Xfree86setup (the graphical one) does not.

This is done dynamically by installing temporary firewall rules which allow a particular connection (and only that connection) to go through the firewall. The rules are removed once the cor- responding connection terminates. A maximum of _=08c_=08o_=08u_=08n_=08t rules starting from the rule numb= er _=08b_=08a_=08s_=08e_=08n_=08u_=08m_=08b_=08e_=08r will be used for punc= hing firewall holes. The range will be cleared for all rules on startup. R=08RU=08UN=08NN=08NI=08IN=08NG=08G N=08NA=08AT=08TD=08D The following steps are necessary before attempting to run n=08na=08at= =08td=08d: 1. Build a custom kernel with the following options: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT Refer to the handbook for detailed instructions on building a custom kernel. 2. Ensure that your machine is acting as a gateway. This can be done by specifying the line gateway_enable=3DYES in the _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_=08._=08c_=08o_=08n_=08f file= or using the command sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=3D1 3. If you use the -=08-i=08in=08nt=08te=08er=08rf=08fa=08ac=08ce=08e= option, make sure that your interface is already configured. If, for example, you wish to specify tun0 as your _=08i_=08n_=08t_=08e_=08r_=08f_=08a_=08c_=08e, and you are using pp= p(8) on that interface, you must make sure that you start p=08pp=08pp=08p prior to starting n=08na=08at= =08td=08d. Running n=08na=08at=08td=08d is fairly straight forward. The line natd -interface ed0 should suffice in most cases (substituting the correct interface name). Please check rc.conf(5) on how to configure it to be started automatic= al- ly during boot. Once n=08na=08at=08td=08d is running, you must ensure= that traffic is diverted to n=08na=08at=08td=08d: 1. You will need to adjust the _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_= =08._=08f_=08i_=08r_=08e_=08w_=08a_=08l_=08l script to taste. If you are not interested in having a firewall, the following lines will do: /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via ed0 /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any The second line depends on your interface (change ed0 as appropri- ate). You should be aware of the fact that, with these firewall settings, everyone on your local network can fake his source-address using your host as gateway. If there are other hosts on your local net- work, you are strongly encouraged to create firewall rules that only allow traffic to and from trusted hosts. If you specify real firewall rules, it is best to specify line 2 at the start of the script so that n=08na=08at=08td=08d sees all packets be= fore they are dropped by the firewall. After translation by n=08na=08at=08td=08d, packets re-enter the firewall= at the rule number following the rule number that caused the diversion (not the next rule if there are several at the same number). 2. Enable your firewall by setting firewall_enable=3DYES in _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_=08._=08c_=08o_=08n_=08f.

I have added the following to the my rc.conf ifconfig_tun0="inet 172.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" gateway_enabled="YES" natd_enabled="YES" natd_ingerface="tun0" and tun0 to my network_interfaces list. The box works fine on its own, but I am unable to get boxes in my 172.168.0.x space to work through it. I am confused a bit on what I need to set my other boxes too, and if I am missing something on this box I must do as well. Should I set my other boxes to gateway to this boxes 172 address, or to the real IP of this box? If it is in the 172 space, how is this box being informed it shoul be listening for it, since the only the tun0 is told it is attached to this IP, not the actual NIC... Any help would be most appreciated.

No. Correct setting of the make configuration options will prevent some binaries from being updated.

Isn't tun0 getting an IP through ppp(8) or the like? I guess I could be wrong, since the above address is in AOL's netblock. Do they have some odd service where you get a fixed dial-in IP? But my best guess is that you meant to use an RFC1918, unregistered address; that is not one. > gateway_enabled="YES" > natd_enabled="YES" > natd_ingerface="tun0" ^ Typo, I assume. > and tun0 to my network_interfaces list. > > The box works fine on its own, but I am unable to get boxes in my > 172.168.0.x space to work through it.

I have installed a FreeBSD on my computer two days ago, and I am new at this. While attempting to change the shell (from csh to tcsh) that is loaded for root, I made a mistake. I used the "vipw" command, and accidently typed "kcsh" instead of "tcsh" (a stupid mistake, I know). I realized this only after I saved and rebooted the system - and it was too late. I do not have any other users through which I can get into the system, and logging as a root only gives an error message that it can't find the "kcsh" shell. I tried the installation boot floppies to get into the setup utility, but this didn't work. Can you suggest any methods other than re-installation of the system that can be used to start the proper shell and correct the mistake? Are there any login commands or options that can be used to start a shell, or is there any way to get into the set-up utility?

To run a xterm from another box, you only need to set the DISPLAY environment variable on the remote host to point to your local host before invoking xterm. Running a windowmanager remotely to manage your local machine's X-server can also be done in the same manner - the caveat here is to make sure there are no local window-managers aleady running on your local machine. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Wait till the 10-second countdown, hit the space-bar and type in "boot -s" 2. The machine will then prompt for a shell to use, accept the default /bin/sh. 3. mount -a 4. vipw Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck" - Curly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 10 15:32: 6 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 10 15:32:04 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ren.sasknow.com (ren.sasknow.com [207.195.92.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0636D37B400 for ; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 15:32:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (ryan@localhost) by ren.sasknow.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA96835; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 17:31:53 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from ryan@sasknow.com) Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 17:31:53 -0600 (CST) From: Ryan Thompson To: Raymond Hicks Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Corrupted File System?

I'm not entirely sure what they are, but my machine is sending a lot of them over the network and I am not sure if it is meant to be doing! :-) I have 3 machines in my room, each of which have a network card and are connected together via a hub. Each have an address in the 192.168.1 subnet. One of the machines which is running FreeBSD 4.1 has another network card, which is attached to the university campus network. It has a real IP address (155.245.119.80 - so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk) which was assigned to me by the uni. In order to let my other 2 machines (Windows 98 and another FreeBSD 4.1) communicate over the internet, I am running NATD on the machine with the connection to the campus network (which i will refer to as the router from now on) and have set the other 2 machines to use it as their gateway. All is happy natd wise, appart from tens of: Dec 11 00:05:26 natd[159]: failed to write packet back (Host is down) which I am told is normal and due to a problem upstream from me. The router doesn't have a monitor, I access it over the serial port and ssh so I don't log into it very often, accept for diagnostics. In October I was sent an email by another user of the campus network informing me that my host was sending a lot of "ICMP Redirect packets". I didn't get this email until tonight, when i decided to login to the router and read the logs. So, i did a tcpdump on the network card which is on the campus network. Sure enough, my host appears to be sending ICMP Redirect packets. Not just one every now and then, but tonnes (upto 20 per second) to random machines on the network. Eg: 23:13:25.766467 so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk > so-16467-x0.essex.ac.uk: icmp: redirect 155.245.127.255 to host 155.245.127.255 23:13:25.767043 so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk > so-12669-x0.essex.ac.uk: icmp: redirect 155.245.127.255 to host 155.245.127.255 23:13:25.770586 so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk > so-13382-x0.essex.ac.uk: icmp: redirect 155.245.127.255 to host 155.245.127.255 23:13:25.771184 so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk > so-12669-x0.essex.ac.uk: icmp: redirect 155.245.127.255 to host 155.245.127.255 23:13:25.771750 so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk > so-12669-x0.essex.ac.uk: icmp: redirect 155.245.127.255 to host 155.245.127.255 23:13:25.775189 so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk > so-15242-x0.essex.ac.uk: icmp: redirect 155.245.127.255 to host 155.245.127.255 and so on. I noticed that in some cases there would be a netbois request before this (the network it is attached to is a student accomodation one - hence several thousand MS windows machines), eg: 23:13:35.212169 so-8410-x0.essex.ac.uk.netbios-ns > 155.245.127.255.netbios-ns: >>> NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 23:13:35.269727 so-16671-x0.essex.ac.uk > so-8410-x0.essex.ac.uk: icmp: redirect 155.245.127.255 to host 155.245.127.255 Basically my question is, is this normal? Can I stop my machine from doing it without hindering performance? I know a fair amount about IP, but don't really know what an ICMP redirect is. I ran some searches before writting this email (I always try to figure stuff out for myself before asking questions) but i couldn't really find much useful information. I am reluctant to play about with the router as other than this it is doing a very fine job.

How is the BIOS detecting the hard disk ( nr of cylinders, heads, sectors)? How does the FreeBSD kernel detect the hard disk? Press the scroll-lock key when in the first screen of the installation menu, and use the arrow-up key to see the boot messages. Press scroll-lock key again to return to the installation screen. What does the FreeBSD "fdisk" during the installation say about the geometry of the disk? You can correct this by using the G option of fdisk. My experience with a 486-120 and a 13GB disk is to select NORMAL translation mode. This means the BIOS sees your disk as +- 504 MB. This normally allows the BIOS to boot the machine into FreeBSD. FreeBSD does not depend on the BIOS to read/write the disk, it will just ignore the "wrong" 504 MB setting. BTW I am using FreeBSD 3.2. ===Janko van Roosmalen - Vught - Netherlands=== On Sun, 10 Dec 2000 stanb@panix.com wrote: > > > I am setting up 4 recycled HP Vectras for use at work.

I assume that my other boxes, should be pointing to 172.16.0.1 as their default router and be in the 172.16.0.x space... But so far I have not been able to get it to successfully working... I have the public space entry for the single NIC card pointing to the default router up in the ISP space... I think I am missing something vital.

Yes. Although in the simplest case of NAT, the only firewall rule is the one that tells NAT to do its thing. > If your i/f to the 'Net is a dial-up ppp link, you set up ppp to > handle nat with a -nat option, instead of using 'natd'. Well... you don't *have* to; you *can* use natd while using ppp. Just set your "outside" interface (in /etc/rc.conf) to be tun0 or ppp0. I was doing this for years and it worked fine. Having said that, consensus on the list seems to be that it's better to use userland ppp's NATting feature, rather than natd. I'm not sure why. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org [1] Bus error netscape To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 10 18:17:24 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 10 18:17:23 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from sina.com (unknown [202.106.187.167]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 764D537B400 for ; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 18:17:22 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 26898 invoked by uid 99); 11 Dec 2000 02:18:07 -0000 Message-ID: <20001211021807.26897.qmail@sina.com> From: hxw_maillist1 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Make FreeBSD a proxy server Date: Mon Dec 11 02:18:07 2000 X-Mailer: SinaMail 3.0Beta (FireToad) X-Priority: 3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Could anybody tell me how to make my FreeBSD 4.1 or 4.2 a proxy server, with which all other computers on the same LAN can connect to Internet.

You're already there. Just start the process, enter any input needed, ^Z it and use bg pid to put it in the background (Replace pid with the pid # as I'm guessing you know). Or ^Z, type jobs and then bg %1 or whatever job number comes up instead of 1.

When you speak of "the PUBLIC IP," you seem to be saying that you have only one IP address that belongs to you.

As Jonathan says, you need two ethernet cards (assuming your DSL works like mine does). One of them connects to the outside world as PUBLIC IP, and the other connects to the inside world, typically with an RFC1918 IP address (you seem to have chosen 172.16.0.1). tun0 is the name for the userland PPP interface. If your DSL works like mine does, you have a DSL phone line coming into the building; it goes to a box, and the other side of that box is an RJ45 ethernet jack. This is your "outside" network connection; the second ethernet card in the gateway machine is your "inside" connection. No PPP involved unless you're forced to use PPPoE or some such nonsense. > I assume that my other boxes, should be pointing to 172.16.0.1 as their > default router and be in the 172.16.0.x space...

Yup, I've heard this is possible, but that in the past Natd has gotten confused by it and exploded. I don't know if the condition has been remedied.

To tell the truth, it never occurred to me to try. But yes, I can see how this might be made to work. > But realisticly it would probably be better to segregate the two. Exactly my point. Actually this sounds like an interesting project (NATting with one interface), but maybe he's more interested in "getting the network up" than in "having an interesting project." Depends on his priorities... For an ordinary 10baseT ethernet card, I pay something like $10 US. To me, that's a reasonable price to pay for simplifying my life. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org [1] Bus error netscape To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 10 19:12:26 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 10 19:12:21 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from www.newsindex.com (www.newsindex.com [64.71.138.178]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D318C37B401 for ; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:12:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (speck@localhost) by www.newsindex.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA15357; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:12:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from speck@www.newsindex.com) Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:12:08 -0800 (PST) From: Sean Peck To: David Raistrick Cc: Chris Hill , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Configuring Gateway/NAT on Freebsd In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: speck@www.newsindex.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Here is the layout in detail: I have a Public addresses and a DSL conneciton, the DSL line comes into my house, which I then place into a HUB. This hub is where all my machines are attached. I have one machine, that has 1 NIC card, this card is configured with the ifconfig commands to be listening to both 1 public IP address, and to 172.16.0.1 The configuration for the public IP is to forward requests to the ISP routers up stream, with appropriate netmask etc. THe 172 entry is simply an alias to 172.16.0.1 The machine is configured as a gateway, it has Natd turned on, etc. However I cannot get an answer to 172.16.0.1 when I attempt, even from this box itself, even though the ifconfig alias command executes without problem. I have configured tun0 to be 172.16.0.1 to public IP (or at least I believe I have) (excerps from rc.conf) ifconfig_tun0="inet 172.16.0.1 64.2.61.236 netmask 255.255.255.0" natd_enabled="YES" natd_interface="tun0" gateway_enabled="YES" network_interfaces="xl0 tun0 lo0" I have no problem putting a second NIC into the box, if that is what it takes... I am configuring my 172.16.x.x boxes to have 172.16.0.1 as their defaultrout... which if I understand it should be picked up by this box, who will then through tun0, tunnel it to the public IP and then forward it out to the world?

What you DO need (and i'll note that I can only say this in concept. I've not dealt with nat on a BSD machine since 2.2something..but i do it all day long with Cisco:) is to ifconfig xl0 inet 64.2.61.236 netmask 255.255.255.0 (assuming that 64...236 is the IP assigned by your provider, netmask as well) route add default 64.2.61.X (as provided by the ISP for your default route) then, ifconfig xl0 alias 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 Then you need to configure natd to use xl0 for all outbound traffic, with the 64.2.61.236 IP. so ( a quick scan of man natd ) natd -a 63.2.61.236 might do it. Of course, all this assumes sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 This is the "interesting project" that has been mentioned. It has also been mentioned that natd has been known to go haywire when used in this way (only one NIC). Should this be the case, you will need to adjust your situation accordingly and get a second NIC. Plug your dsl modem directly into this nic, (if you use a straight-through cable to the hub from the modem, you'll need a crossover...or versavisa) and then just ifconfig xl1 inet 64.2.61.236 netmask 255.255.255.0 (same defroute) natd -i xl1 that should do it. Should i get entirely bored, and you folks want me to, i'd be glad reconfigure my testlab at work to see if this works with only one NIC... later...david -- David Raistrick Digital Wireless Communications davidr@dwcinet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 10 19:31:23 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 10 19:31:20 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.monochrome.org (monochrome.org [206.64.112.124]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 764A037B400 for ; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:31:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (faro [192.168.1.7]) by mail.monochrome.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id WAA32550; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 22:30:42 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from chris@monochrome.org) Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 22:30:42 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Hill X-Sender: chris@localhost Reply-To: Chris Hill To: Sean Peck Cc: David Raistrick , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Configuring Gateway/NAT on Freebsd In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sun, 10 Dec 2000, Sean Peck wrote: > Here is the layout in detail: > > I have a Public addresses and a DSL conneciton, the DSL line comes into > my house, which I then place into a HUB.

Sounds correct. The only real issue I can see is that you may not be connecting through tun0 (see previous chatter). And according to your rc.conf excerpts, you already have an ethernet card in the box. Againm tun0 is not an ethernet card; it's the "interface" used when you use dial-up PPP. > I know I am missing something... the FreeBSD manual is great book, but in > this area, it is pretty weak... -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org [1] Bus error netscape To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 10 19:48: 1 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 10 19:47:59 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from www.newsindex.com (www.newsindex.com [64.71.138.178]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CFDBF37B400 for ; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:47:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (speck@localhost) by www.newsindex.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA18340; Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:47:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from speck@www.newsindex.com) Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:47:43 -0800 (PST) From: Sean Peck To: David Raistrick Cc: Chris Hill , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Configuring Gateway/NAT on Freebsd In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: speck@www.newsindex.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > On Sun, 10 Dec 2000, Sean Peck wrote: > > > > I have one machine, that has 1 NIC card, this card is configured with the > > ifconfig commands to be listening to both 1 public IP address, and to > > 172.16.0.1 > > > I have configured tun0 to be 172.16.0.1 to public IP (or at least I > > believe I have) > > Ok, this appears to be one of the problems. > > tun0 is for userland ppp (vs ppp0 for kernel ppp) > > You do not need it.

Now... how am I suppose to fix this? I run FSCK and it says it can't find ad0s1a or ad0s1e or ad0s1f.

It's a > setiathome process, as well as another similar one. People have pointed out that you just need to use 'bg' with your scheme below. However, you mention setiathome. setiathome only requires user interaction the first time it is started. There is no user interaction after this point. If you install setiathome from the ports there is a really nice startup script that will run it for you at boot time. -- Crist J.

Clark cjclark@alum.mit.edu > Hmmm Ok, I will set this to the IP.. now the other thing I noticed was that in the 3.3 rc.network that the command looked for natd_program it did not have the natd_program: /sbin/natd.. so I added a natd_program to the rc.conf that is set to the /sbin/natd. I am still perplexed as to why the I cannot reach the box from itself via the 172.16.0.1 alias... I have used ifconfig aliasing before and never had a problem... the ifconfig command runs fine and throws no errors, but I cannot reach it from itself... very odd to me.
