From the console of the machine, just login as 'root' from a telnet prompt you will have to add a user to the wheel group, login as that user, then su to root. You can change the settings in /etc/ttys to log in on remote consoles as root, but that is not recommended.

Personally I've never had booteasy work on my machines, so I've always used Lilo, SystemCommander, or (played with) BootMagic. With FreeBSD on the second hard drive and '98 on the first, I never had a problem. I assume BootEasy will do the same. However, booteasy must reside on the mbr of the 1st drive (why no bootblock support, btw?) because the bios can't boot off the second drive (it can on scsi, if tweaked). Thus.. it should. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Mon Aug 30 20: 6:55 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from uhura.concentric.net (uhura.concentric.net [206.173.118.93]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0502315979 for ; Mon, 30 Aug 1999 20:06:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mlduke@concentric.net) Received: from marconi.concentric.net (marconi [206.173.118.71]) by uhura.concentric.net (8.9.1a/(98/12/15 5.12)) id WAA13690; Mon, 30 Aug 1999 22:55:03 -0400 (EDT) [1-800-745-2747 The Concentric Network] Received: from ts001d09.mer-id.concentric.net (ts001d09.mer-id.concentric.net [206.173.184.21]) by marconi.concentric.net (8.9.1a) id XAA18381; Mon, 30 Aug 1999 23:03:01 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 20:05:09 -0600 (MDT) From: mlduke To: Mike Cc: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Request for comment In-Reply-To: <19990831012104.87717.qmail@hotmail.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Hello FreeBSD users > I'm preparing to install FreeBSD 3.2 OS on my box and would like some feedback.

FreeBSD's main goal was (is?) to be the best x86 UNIX-based server available. Other platforms, namely SPARC and Alpha, that are widely used for servers are slowly being supported. A mac will either use a Motorla 6800x or a PowerPC proccessor (newer ones, such as an imac, use PowerPC); both of these are not supported. The best alternative would be NetBSD.

I'm rather new to running/installing/administering it on my own box, but I used it quite a bit while at school. Well, from the description above, it isn't quite clear (to me) what you want to accomplish with the gateway, but the FreeBSD handbook section on "Firewalls" (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/firewalls.html) may prove to be a useful start.

At last I manage to setup my ppp connection files. But now have another problem. I can not use my modem to dial-up. I tried my best to setup my ppp connection but as usual I stuck. (Do not forget I am a newbie to FreeBSD.) I think the problem is because of my modem. It uses COM4 and IRQ 3 under DOS. But there is something diffrent in MYKERNEL file (I think). I have no idea how to setup or use parameters on this part of this configuration file. But I do not want to direct you wrong. I *think* the problem is this. I am *not* sure. I include my kernel configuration file and my ppp connection files attached. (Sorry I have Winzip under windows and do not know if gzip can handle files zipped with winzip so I attached files uncompressed.) I also include the result of "ppp -alias interactive" command. I have "interactive" part in my ppp.conf file. If you ask why I insist using "cuaa3" I have my own reasons. But if it is impossible to use then I try to use "cuaa0" or "cuaa1", but do not give up before trying. :-) I hope I do not forget to give any information required.

I put together a gateway/firewall box using a P100, 16MB of RAM, a 2x IDE CD-ROM, no floppy, and a 210MB hard drive. I only needed the the bin, man pages, and kernel source packages, and I've still got more than 50MB of disk left out of the 180MB I had. I didn't see any need to install the ports tree since this box will pretty much just sit in the corner untouched. Normal operation seldom sees more than .01 load.

I had a 486 with 16 MB Ram and only 10 MB swap (my first experimental system, one 125 MB IDE drive, everything into /, it works). Sometimes the screen gets many colors, system stops and reboots by itself (how perfect). This could be circumvented by other 16 MB Ram. So there seems to be some need for memory, besides the old rule, that swap should be twice as large as RAM (and a little bit more).

But Michael's building a gateway. NAT, xntpd, ipfw/ipfilter, and DNS don't need much. The only hardware capacity issue you really have to concern yourself with is having sufficient network hardware and processing power to handle a saturated internet link. Other than that, a few steps to fix potential security problems and DoS vulnerabilities and you're good to go.

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.

A friend actually did most of the install, which included sendmail. So far, that machine doesn't seem to be receiveng email. I've tried sending to root@167.44.32.82 (well that's not my real ip but you get the idea), and nothing happened. That seems to me to be about as basic as it gets. I can send out from that machine (both locally and to the outside world, i.e. hotmail), but not receive. Why would that be? I think there's a clue, in that I just checked root's email, and it got something that says "Mail received for refused hosts: (my ip address)" or something like that. In other words, it looks like it's not configured to accept email sent to itself. This seems weird, but I read in a book on Unix S-A I bought that there's a file called sendmail.cw I think, that's the list of supported hosts. That file doesn't exist. Is that my problem? I apologize if this is a mind-numbingly simple question - I'm a programmer, but I know NOTHING about Unix, not even Linux (well I had it installed for a few hours but that's it). I've been reading the BSD Handbook and my Unix book but I couldn't find anything quite this simple. There's a lot of encouragement to get the O'Reilly sendmail book, but I'm a bit spent out for this month. Thanks, Chris ---------------------------------------------------- Reach me by ICQ.
