Better still use a distribution that boots from cdrom like knoppix and doesn't require to be installed on a harddisk. A linux distro should be easily & freely available with a local linux magzine.... I have a triple-boot system with Linux, FreeBSD and NT5. Here is brief note on my experience - 1. One can normally only create 3 primary partitions and one extended, or 4 primary... etc., .My hdd already had NT & linux on 2 partitions with with a 3rd 1GB spare primary partition. (I always keep spare 1gb primary partitions (and within the 1st 1024 cylinders as a precaution), it helps like in this case when I decied I wanted fbsd too...) 2 FBSD would not have fitted on the 1gb part with X and KDE, so I decided to use an extended-logical partition. However nowhere in my FBSD 4.7 setup process, did I see any facility to work with extended partitions. Heres what I did - 2.a Boot linux, use fdisk to make the desired logical partition of type "bsd" 2.b Setup Freebsd with a minimal config that will fit into 1 gb. 2.c Boot FBSD 2.d "newfs" the logical partition ( I do not remember all the commands I gave sorry... I think more commands are needed, but simply lookup the standard set of commands needed for creating a new filesystem, as found in FBSD handbook ) 2.e "cp -pPrR" the existing /usr folder to the logical partition after mounting it to say /mnt 2.f Edit the /etc/fstab to add the new filesystem/logical partition to mount at mount point "/usr" automatically at boot 2.g Reboot FBSD to see that all is OK. The new /usr on a logical partition with all the required files should now be mounted over the old /usr 3. Now run /stand/sysinstall and add X-windows all the other bulky software you need. 3. I use lilo to boot FBSD or Win2k or linux. So I made the appropriate entries in lilo.conf If you need specific help with commands drop me another mail, and I will try and use my (rather weak) powers of recollection.. :) Rgrds Rahul Sawarkar From owner-freebsd-config@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Nov 21 05:32:27 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-config@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C3D8116A4CE for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2003 05:32:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from netc-1v.grolier.fr (netc-1v.grolier.fr [194.158.97.217]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7CD8443F75 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2003 05:32:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from julien.biard@netcourrier.com) Received: from netcourrier.com (netc-3v.grolier.fr [194.158.97.220]) by netc-1v.grolier.fr (Postfix) with SMTP id 6D0A527982 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2003 14:26:52 +0100 (CET) Received: from [81.48.136.240] by netcourrier-3v.netcourrier.com via html interface From: julien.biard@netcourrier.com To: freebsd-config@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 14:26:51 CET Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Medianet/v2.0 Message-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Subject: IPFW+IPNAT cannot attack firewall external interface behind X-BeenThere: freebsd-config@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Installation and Configuration List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 13:32:27 -0000 hi i have a firewall configured with IPNAT and IPFW, and i can't access the e= xternal interface behind the firewall. however it's possible to ping it...= do you have an idea ? my /etc/rc.conf : firewall=5Fenable=3D=22YES=22 firewall=5Fscript=3D=22/etc/fwrules.sh=22 ipnat=5Fenable=3D=22YES=22 syslogd=5Fflags=3D=22-ss=22 accounting=5Fenable=3D=22NO=22 gateway=5Fenable=3D=22YES=22 hostname=3D=22irie.zion.org=22 ifconfig=5Fep0=3D=22inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0=22 inetd=5Fenable=3D=22NO=22 kern=5Fsecurelevel=5Fenable=3D=22NO=22 keymap=3D=22fr.iso.acc=22 keyrate=3D=22fast=22 nfs=5Freserved=5Fport=5Fonly=3D=22NO=22 sendmail=5Fenable=3D=22NONE=22 sshd=5Fenable=3D=22YES=22 usbd=5Fenable=3D=22YES=22 my ipnat.conf : the redirections of ssh and smtp work (tested from outside= ), but not for the ftp... = =23 mapping map tun0 MyLan/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp 10000:20000 map tun0 MyLan/24 -> 0/32 =23 redirections =23 ftp rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 1521 -> jahkub port 21 =23rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 1522 -> vibes port 21 =23 smtp rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 25 -> jahkub port 25 = =23 ssh rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 1522 -> vibes port 22 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 1523 -> jahkub port 22 = =23 BitTorrent... rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6881 -> vibes port 6881 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6882 -> vibes port 6882 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6883 -> vibes port 6883 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6884 -> vibes port 6884 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6885 -> vibes port 6885 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6886 -> vibes port 6886 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6887 -> vibes port 6887 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 6888 -> vibes port 6888 =23 mldonkey rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 4662 -> vibes port 4662 tcp rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 4666 -> vibes port 4666 udp =23 soulseek rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 2234 -> stick port 2234 rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 5534 -> stick port 5534 =23 UT rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 7777 -> vibes port 7777 udp rdr tun0 0.0.0.0/0 port 7778 -> vibes port 7778 udp my /etc/fwrules : =2E.. =23Shaping basique initial =23 Pas besoin de net.inet.ip.fw.one=5Fpass =3D 0, on matche les paquets e= ntrants seulement. =24cmd pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0x000000ff bw 3Kbit/s queue 50 =24cmd add 100 pipe 1 tcp from any ssh,1523 to any in via =24oif =23 UT =23=24cmd pipe 2 config mask src-ip 0x000000ff bw 10KBit/s =23=24cmd add 200 pipe 2 udp from any 7777 to any out via =24oif =23Firewalling =23Anti spoof =23=24cmd add 400 reject log ip from 213.91.4.128/28 to any in via =24oif =24cmd add 410 reject log ip from =24interne to any in via =24oif =23 =24cmd add 420 reject log ip from =24interne2 to any in via =24oif =24cmd add 430 reject log ip from 127.0.0.1/8 to any in via =24oif =23=24cmd add 435 allow tcp from any to 192.168.1.42/32 established in via= =24oif =23=24cmd add 436 allow icmp from any to 192.168.1.42/32 in via =24oif =23=24cmd add 440 reject log ip from any to not 213.91.4.0/24 in via =24oi= f =23pas de probleme pour l'interne =24cmd add 500 allow ip from any to any via =24iif =23pas de probleme pour sortir =24cmd add 510 allow ip from any to any out via =24oif =23pas de probleme pour les sessions TCP etablies =24cmd add 600 allow tcp from any to any in via =24oif established =23UDP... =23Peut etre laisser ipf gerer l'udp...

I have setup my laptop using a linux-linux combo and it pings just nicely, so I know that a plip connection will work on the hardware once I figure it out. Here are my issues, There isn't a plip0 device node in /dev, but device ppc device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer device plip # TCP/IP over parallel device ppi # Parallel port interface device are called in my kernel config. This is rather disturbing. This seems to be the real issue. I went through the handbook and used the 4.x method to setup the parallel port connection, using the lp0 device node, but that simply does not work in 5.1 apperently. I have not had any luck creating a plip0 device node to use either, as the HB only states the 4.x method to creating device nodes. I also understand that use plip (called lp0) with linux under freeBSD 4.x, freeBSD needed to have 'ifconfig_lp0 link0' called, but I am not sure if this is the case for the plip0 too (in freeBSD 5.1). Nor, in either case, am I sure where I would call link0.... My setup in /etc/rc.conf looks like this (and would work in 4.x from what I have read), interfaces="lo0 xl0 lp0" ifconfig_xl0="inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000" ifconfig_lp0="inet 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.9 netmask 0xffffff00" Can we find a way to make this system work with 5.1? Quite frankly, I'm at my wits end when it comes to this. I like FreeBSD, but if I can't figure this out, it would be well worth my while to just go back to slackware, I guess. I don't really want to do that however :) Thanks in advance, Rob.

The first is connect two a windows pc and the second for the moment is unused (in the future it will be connected two internet). I have got two problems that may be link.Below you can found my rc.conf and the result of the ifconfig command. First, when I boot my freebsd, the network after being start is shutdown and I must restart it with the command 'netif start'. Secondly, just one of the two ethernet card is configured properly with an IP adresse. Actually it is the first defind by the network_interfaces property in the rc.conf file. The second does not have an IP adresse and I must add it by myself using the ifconfig command. Actually, this second interface is never reachable by any ping and I do not understand why. It seems that freebsd does not want two ethernet card. If someone could help me to boot properly my freebsd, I will be joyfull.

I'm curious to see what other users think of using either the 'make' commands or 'pkg_add' for compiling and installing software. I'm admittedly a bit of a newbie, and I've tried it both ways, after CVSup-ing the source and ports of course. In most cases 'pkg_add' seems to work better, but the problem solver in me wants to see 'make all install clean' and its brethren work at least once. Am I to understand that 'make' and its accompanying command options will download source, dependencies, needed libs, et al. while compiling, building, and installing just like 'pkg_add' does? I'm probably doing something wrong such that 'make' isn't playing nice, but I'd still appreciate some further insight from more experienced users. TIA, Pat
