Mail not working
Greetz to all. I've never been able to get a mail server working on my FreeBSD installation. While I recently upgraded to 8.0-RELEASE, it hasn't worked since my initisl 7.0-RELEASE installation. This is not a major server, so I haven't fussed with it up to now. But, I would like to finally fix it. I've tried various combinations of postfix and sendmail, but all have failed. It doesn't matter to me whether I run postfix or sendmail, though I have far more experience with sendmail. I believe that both postfix and sendmail are currently installed, with postfix being the mail server. I want to forward mail to my sendmail MTA for distribution, which I'm doing successfully with many other *nix boxes. Here's what I currently see in /var/log/messages whenever I try to send a message from the FBSD box: Nov 28 04:15:30 marshfield kernel: pid 11721 (mailwrapper), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) and in /var/log/maillog: Nov 26 21:35:29 marshfield postfix/master[946]: daemon started -- version 2.7-20091008, configuration /usr/local/etc/postfix Here's at least a snippet from main.cf: mydomain = ourdomain.com readme_directory = no myorigin = $mydomain mydestination = $mydomain #relayhost = [mail1.$mydomain] relayhost = 192.168.1.2 data_directory = /var/db/postfix transport_maps = /usr/local/etc/postfix/transportsmtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_my networks and mailer.conf: sendmail/usr/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/sbin/sendmail mailq /var/spool/mqueue newaliases /usr/bin/newaliases I've googled, etc., but haven't come up with a solution.

I made sure sendmail was turned off, then deinstalled/reinstalled postfix-current from ports. I had to tweak some directives in mailer.conf and main.cf based on a couple of posts I googled. I made sure sendmail wouldn't start, then started postfix with "/etc/rc.d/sendmail onestart" (Q: why is postfix invoked by starting sendmail?). Was able to send mail locally and externally through MTA. Sorry for the noise.

The user or host will be blocked if any of the rule triggers matches. The sense of the user matching can be inverted by placing a '!' in front of the rule so that !root:20/1d is a rule which would match for all users apart from root. It is important to treat root as a special case in the user_rule otherwise excessive attempts to authenticate as root will result in the root account being locked out even for valid holders of root credentials.

FreeBSD 7RC2 and VMware tools
Hello to all. I'm not sure whether to have posted this here or on a VMware list; apologies if I'm in the wrong place. The other day, I did a fresh install of v. 7RC2 from the minimal CD on a CentOS 5.1 box running VMware server 1.0.4. I had previously successfully installed v. 6.2, and upgraded to 6.3 on the same box. All has gone well, except for the installation of VMware Tools. Getting the Tools tarball and extracting the requisite files was trivial. However, when I try to run Vmware-Config-Tools.pl, I get a message saying that the program must be run on a virtual machine. Well, it is. Is there a needed FBSD package I'm missing (the Tools install program doesn't complain about it). A known issue, or bug, maybe? Or is VMware support not yet enabled? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm, when I try to hard-link ("ln /usr/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6 libc.so.6"),
I get
"ln: ./libc.so.6: Cross-device link". But, when I do a symlink, which takes, I
get
"/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "ld-linux.so.2" not found, required by
"libc.so.6"" when i run vmware-config-tools.pl. So, I symlink ld-linux.so.2,
and run
tools. Then, I get "/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol "__stdoutp"
referenced
from COPY relocation in /usr/local/sbin/vmware-checkvm". Arrgh. Any other
ideas?

If I copy libc.so.6 to /lib, then tools complains about ld-linux.so.2. If I
copy
ld-linux.so.2, it then complains about "/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined
symbol
"__stdoutp" referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/local/sbin/vmware-checkvm".
This is
pretty much the same as if I symlink the two files. Even though I'm a "glass
half-full"
guy, this is beginning to look dire (but it's the worst thing to happen to me,
I'm sure
I'll live). Still, it would be nice to get this working.

I did this a few days ago:
/lib/libc.so. existed. I symlinked libc.so.6 to it. I then proceeded to
install VMware Tools without complaint.
However, I'm not sure if there's a vmware FreeBSD NIC driver. If there is,
it's not being used (as per dmesg, the AMD PCnet-PCI driver appears to be
used). On a Linux vm (please, no stone throwing :-) ), to use the vmxnet
driver, I'd stop the network service, load the vmxnet driver module, then
restart the service. Is there a similar procedure on FreeBSD?
Thanks.
Dimitri

Mine has been a long, strange trip in installing and making VMware Tools work on FBSD 7.0. My latest go has me installing /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6/, then the VMware-supplied tools. I've already mentioned that I had to symlink libc.so.6 to get the VMware version to run. I also had to symlink /lib/libm.so.4 to /lib/libm.so.5 in order to get vmware-toolbox to work. I've followed a couple of posts in other forums (or fora, if you prefer :-) ) that suggest using the e1000 NIC driver (e.g. communities.vmware.com/message/352504), but it fails.

As you may know, the documentation regarding VMware Server and FreeBSD isn't great (one of the burdens we bear :-) ). It's not clear about the NIC driver at all; the installed le0 iface is working just fine as it is. I've also got the GUI working, but for the most part, it's worthless. I just thought it best to use the the included VMware Tools, as per VMware. My thanks, also, to everyone else who responded. Much appreciated.

Thank you, Beto, for increasing my knowledge. I'll take a look at libmap.conf
and read any extant info on it.

Hope everyone doesn't jump all over me ('tis the holiday season, after all),
but why not try gOS. It's mainly button driven, so not much can be messed up
(on second thought, I have some lusers who probably could mess it up :-) ).

".forward" is responsible for actually enabling 'vacation' for any particular user. The format for including the subject and sender, at least, is simply: From: "Alfred E.
