Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I would like to use my freeBSD system as a ppp server for our dial-in modems connected through a terminal server. The Terminal server would telnet to freebsd , on which would give the login of the user and init PPPd. Two problems arrised: 1- How to ensure that only the terminal server will be able to login? anybody coming from outside world would not be allowed to login. 2- How to assign Dynamic IP addresses from a range of for example 33 to 49?

A couple of things come to mind. Use the access list facility in tcp-wrappers. Use the facilities provided by login.access that is part of login. Build a special telnetd that only accepts connections from your domain. In all cases you have to block IP spoofing at your border routers. You should be doing that anyway. > > 2- How to assign Dynamic IP addresses from a range of for example 33 to 49? > Tricky. I have seen some scripts floating around for this.

The qpopper server from qualcom, the folks that wrote Eudora, recovers better than the native popper from errors. 2. When users use the "leave mail on server" switch, mail starts building up and eventually, just seeking to the right position in the mail file takes the pop server long enough that the client times out.

THERE ARE CHANGES YOU MUST MAKE TO SUPPORT DOING THIS. I do NOT have a list of changes, each time I set it up I read the FAQ. 4) Read the FAQ every few months too, it changes, and new useful tidbits appear from time to time. I really DO mean for you to read the FAQ three times, in my experience every half assed news installation I've ever seen was done by somebody who thought that they could not afford the time and could just muddle through it. The FAQ is extremely informative. Now, once you have read the FAQ and have set up your INN to support cross-device symlinks in expire, etc., ... I personally prefer to avoid mounting filesystems on hierarchies. I see lots of people who will take a 2GB disk and split it into multiple partitions, one for rec, one for comp, one for soc, and then mount it on three mount points. This isn't really an effective use of space. The way I would do it: # mkdir /news/.0 # chown news.news /news/.0; chmod 775 /news/.0 # mount /some/disk/dev /news/.0 # chown news.news /news/.0; chmod 775 /news/.0 # cd /news # for i in rec comp soc; do > mkdir .0/$i > chown news.news .0/$i > chmod 775 .0/$i > ln -s .0/$i > done rec, comp, and soc now share a single partition. They can easily be moved too. This of course assumes you're building a new spool. If not, you will need to mv the old "rec" "comp" and "soc" out of the way first, and you can use dump/restore or tar to move them to the new disk, if you really want to. I realize that this is very simplistic, but it's also very powerful and easy to maintain. I've done this for years, and done it at some damn big sites. ...

The alias netmask should be 0xffffffff, or 255.255.255.255, since the first ifconfig command will establish a route to 198.109.196/24. If you use another /24 netmask for the alias, ifconfig will whine about "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists" but the alias will still work.

There are two software packages to do this, CAP and netatalk. CAP was designed by Mac people and uses Macintosh/Appletalk networking terminology and concepts, whereas netatalk uses TCP/IP terminology and concepts. I have not implemented either of these under FreeBSD but both are supposed to work. The home site for netatalk is http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/ and there is a FAQ at http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/faq.html Since it is not listed at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/net.html I don't know if it will work although it was developped on BSD kernels.

Run a script from cron that does an su to > that users. Works like a champ. Thanks Jeff. I may have been ambiguous here; everything works on the local machine, the `permission denied' is coming from the remote machine. rdist(1) starts from cron and reads /etc/Distfile but the remote machine refuses the connection since the user is root. The work that is being done requires root access (copying system files, restarting daemons, etc). The same behavior can be seen if you do a `rcp /etc/aliases rem:/etc/aliases' as root. root owns the files on both machines, but the connection is refused to the superuser. According to ruserok(3), the /etc/hosts.equiv file is ignored when the remote user is superuser.

It's still supported by the author's major Linux site: ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/comtrol The latest version is 1.10 (Apr 3 1996).

It is very stable and has a decent compiler and very nice kernel architecture. The system is very FAST. The driver code for networking and the kernel interface code for I/O is very clean and tight. And there are some decent firewalls for security for it. Note I ran Linux for 1 year to test the stabilty of it, It is pretty good but the network sockets and Low level code is not as elegant and refined as the BSD stuff.

To put the record straight, all three systems (BSDI's BSD/OS, FreeBSD and NetBSD) were derived from "Berkeley UNIX", the flavour developed at UC Berkeley. FreeBSD was not derived from BSDI.

I have already searched all docs available there, but I still seem to miss something: I added the description of my drive (wdc) to /etc/disktab then enter 'disklabel -w -r /dev/wd2s1 wdc'. The system replies back 'wdc: unknown disk type'. Could someone tell me the procedure to add a new drive to the system?
