A clean way to do this might be to comment out the entry for /var in /etc/fstab and reboot. Then you can remove /var and create the symbolic link. You might want to do these last two steps in a startup script so as to not suffer problems due to the temporary lack of /var.

What I actually do in practice is to kill the old named, restart the new one, check the logs to make sure things are functioning properly, then reboot the machine. I was trying to keep the instructions to the basics, but perhaps I should have been more detailed in this area. In any case, my apologies for the unreadable version of the instructions that got sent to this list. The one to -questions was fine, but when I forwarded the one to this list I was in a hurry to get out of town, and pushed the wrong button. If anyone is not on -questions and needs a copy, mail me and I'll be glad to send one. Good luck, Doug The man who fears nothing, loves nothing.

It isn't difficult to do if you just do either Ethernet_II or 802.3 on all interfaces. Here is some code for that. Just set sysctl net.link.ether. ipx.framing8023 to 1 to switch from Ethernet_II framing to 802.3 on ALL interfaces. The reason I don't commit this is that I would rather have a way to support more than one framing per interface or otherwise have it at least settable per interface. I have code to set it per interface, but it use the link1 flag, so it only works on cards that don't use that flag. O, this patch is against 2.2-STABLE.

Hello Gary, If I remember correctly the NIS maps are created if you run a make in /var/yp. You may have to edit the Makefile in that directory to set the place where you keep the master.passwd file.

There is a makefile to run make on in the /var/yp dir (I could be wrong in the dir). That should make the maps. For me it it complains about not knowing stuff and dies.

To keep it simple, let's say group1 has a high number of 10 (and a low of 1) -- the files of course are named 1, 2, 3, etc. through 10. No expiration; in fact I'm not expiring this group at all. Now I reboot the server for whatever reason. All of a sudden this group is showing say a high of 7, and a new post that comes in becomes 8, overwriting the original 8 file. I run news.daily and now the high number is correctly back to 10. A related problem, which makes sense, is that any posts that come in before news.daily is run are not sent to clients as new posts. The only way for the client to get them is to "Get all headers".

I have seen references to "shut down cleanly" somewhere. Yes, I simply did a "shutdown -r now" to reboot. Rather than search out and experiment, can you give the proper way to shut inn down before a reboot? It looks like "ctlinnd shutdown reason..." from doing "ctlinnd -h", but what "reason"????

It matters more for things like throttle and pause where you need the same message (or an empty one using something like '') to get the server running again. shutdown just needs something.

Yes, I have had some problems with stuff like: sr1: illegal state in downing. Which ends up with a double panic. =( I guess I shouldn't be using current for this, although I think there was a (bad?) reason for doing so at the time. (Any guesses on how this would work with 2.2.2, I don't want to have to make such a huge change though unless it's going to be vital.) Many Thanks, I'll apply the patch in the meantime and see how things go. -- Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.

Is this with -current? Because -current sppp code is a bit broken for sync cards at the moment. Joerg changed the code to allow isdn cards to also work with it, but broke the sync cards in the process. I have a patch that will at least let the cards come up and work but as soon as it goes down it will stay down until a reboot. There is a problem in the state-machine because isdn cards have a real down state, while the sync cards don't really have that. I have been a bit busy with other things the last few weeks, so I haven't searched further. I'll attach the patch at the end.

All of what you want to do is possible, although *verified users* is harder. I suggest you contact a local ISP and ask them for help or the name of a consultant who can help you. Alternatively, read the docs for the ppp command, and see if you can experiment with the -alias flag, which will provide access from lan to Internet but not vice versa. The reason I don't elaborate is that there is just *so much* to say on the topic. And yes, you can run uucp over leased line, and even over TCP/IP.

Am I correct in that they do essentially > the same thing? Is there any advantage to using one over the other in > 2.1.7 environment? Differences in resource utilization or security? > Pros or Cons. Let's see how to start: The resource utilization is a bit (very little) higher with xinetd. They do essentially the same job. However, there are pro and cons to each of them. Which are the main differences? Xinetd: has control over concurrency (no DOS-attacks); holds control over already started daemons (stop, reconfigure ...); Tcp-Wrappers: has a twist feature that's very useful. You can choose which flavor of a particular daemon will answer a request based on the requester address. Also, by building libwrap.a into some softwares, you can enhance their security levels. Other features are common to each of them. What about using them together? I do. You need to setup tcp-wrappers with the real_daemon feature. Then, you setup xinetd as usual, yet using the tcp-wrappers daemon instead of the real daemons. You are set. You've got yourself a very good inetd replacement and a good place to concentrate your access/deny control rules. For better information, email me privately.

I searched the archives and came up empty handed. Does anyone have sources of info for ISPs with regards to legal issues on privacy etc. I would like to know how to protect myself legally and also monitor my system for security purposes. In other words...I need to know the legality of looking through my users' bash history files for example.

You'll need to do some hefty reading on this before you start. Get a good book on internet security/firewalls. Examples are: Garfinkel S., & Spafford G., "Practical UNIX & Internet Security", O'Reilly & Associates Inc, 1996 [ISBN 1-56592-148-8] Chapman D.B., & Zwicky E.D., "Building Internet Firewalls", O'Reilly & Associates Inc, 1995 [ISBN 1-56592-124-0] Then you can start to apply it to FreeBSD. In particular, have a look at the IPFW stuff. >We currently don't have >news running. But we do have uucp for email delivery. Can >one run uucp email over a leased line? You probably won't need to do this. UUCP is great for standalone setups (we use it ourselves), but it's pretty redundant once you have a leased line. You'll probably want to use sendmail or one of the other MTA's for this. Good luck!

The native program is "mknod". FreeBSD is friendly & nice and provides "./MAKEDEV" in the /dev directory for the ease of busy sysadmins.

MAKEDEV sd10 didn't complain, but I cannot get a disklabel on the thing, even by dumping sd9's label, editing it and writing from that file... Is there a different numbering convention once you've gone past 9?
