I have several questions about my system running 2.1; actually,
they might be generic unix questions, so I'll understand if you
don't have the time to answer them. :)
1. (routing) I'm confused about how to configure my routing in
the /etc/sysconfig file. I have a SPARCstation on the same net,
and it's /etc/rc.local file contains the following route command:
route -f add default `cat /etc/defaultrouter` 1
where /etc/defaultrouter contains the IP number of our router.
On the FreeBSD system the /etc/sysconfig file says
##
network_interfaces="ep0 lo0"
ifconfig_ep0="inet 204.161.116.19 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
#
static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="204.161.116.254 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
#
defaultrouter="204.161.116.254"
##
The IP of the FreeBSD is 204.161.116.19, and the defaultrouter IP is OK.
I get the feeling the multicast thing isn't appropriate, but I'm not sure
how to set it up. My indication that something is wrong is the constant
stream of messages on the console saying
routed[47]: packet from unknown router: 192.158.1.26
routed[47]: packet from unknown router: 192.158.1.254
This is odd because our nameserver is 192.158.1.3. What's wrong?
2. (serial) I'm trying to set up dialin access to my FreeBSD PC, and I
have 2 modems to choose from. I have an external 2400 baud modem on the
DOS COM1 port, and an internal 9600 fax/modem at COM3. I've followed the
serial section in the FAQ, but I'm getting a message on the console saying:
getty: /dev/ttyd2: Device not configured
I modified /etc/ttys to have these lines:
# Serial terminals
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.2400" dialup on insecure
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on insecure
ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
and I added these lines to the bottom of /etc/remote:
# Hardwired line
cuaa0b|cua0b:dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#2400
cuaa2c|cua2c:dv=/dev/cuaa2:br#9600
(I'm not too sure about these.) The external modem works to dial out,
but won't pick up the phone when I try to dial in. What's wrong?
Thanks very much in advance for your time answering these questions.
I appreciate the much-improved installation procedure in 2.1! -- Brian
