Fileserver with FBSD?

[Huy Ton That]

I am curious if I setup a fileserver with freebsd, and let's say, I setup 4
HDDs within the unit.  Is it possible to have one network link if you will,
that will span over the 4 drives?  Sort of like a clustered space?  Is
something such as this at all possible?

Could I additionally setup something such as this for a Windows environment
in conjunction with samba, sharity etc?

Thank you in advance,

Lee.

Setting fbsd up as a router?

[Huy Ton That]

Would anyone happen to know where I may find tutorials on setting up my FBSD
6.0 Release box as a router with the intention to add firewall services?
Thank you in advance, I spent the greater part of my afternoon breaking
things in the OS :<.

192.168.0.1/24

[Huy Ton That]

Reading the handbook and I've seen /24 appended to an IP address often.  I'm
curious what this exactly means - I don't have strong networking skills;
does this define what ip it goes up to?

192.168.0.1 through to 192.168.0.24?

SSHD Help?

[Huy Ton That]

I am sure I am lacking the technical knowledge to get this running but.  I
setup (more like started) the sshd daemon.  Now I have this system setup at
home and am just using it for experimenting.  When I try to SSH into it, it
queries me for my user name, in which case I am logging in as root.  I key
in roots password (is this password the same as the main root password?) and
it returns permission denied, please try again.

I'm guessing I am not asking the right questions but I was under the
assumption that the password would be the same as root or whatever user I'm
trying to login?  Any tutorials?  I'm going crazy :(.

Re: SSHD Help?

[Huy Ton That]

I think somethings wrong because even when I log on root locally on the box
I get permission denied.  This is the correct password because I am logging
in as root when the machine boots up.  I'm aware of the issues as logging in
as root but it's just a machine I am using to break over and over again for
learning purposes.

Apache appears to not really be starting?

[Huy Ton That]

Installed apache2.2

I launch via apachectl w/:

apachectl -k start -f /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf

Edited httpd.conf and pointed the ips to 127.0.0.1:81 as I wanted to use
this port for a specific reason.

Executing this I get no errors however apache doesn't show under ps (noticed
this since I tried to do a stop and restart and just received the message:
httpd (no pid file) not running :( )

After doing a tail /var/log/httpd-error.log I get the following output:

[Tue Mar 14 22:25:26 2006] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured
[hint: SSLSessionCache]

Configuration Failed

Also I've tried replacing 127.0.0.1 with the the ip address for the incoming
connection nic card and I receive the same results.

Would anyone have any clues as to what I may be missing?

I also have
Listen localhost:81
ServerName localhost:81

Re: Hi there

[Huy Ton That]

Excellent choice; I'm still learning myself but I'll tell you between the
documentation, the community and mailing lists, I'm quite amazed.

1- Is FreeBSD compatible with one tool for PHP call Zend Optimizer?

According to their website, it is compatible with FreeBSD 6.0 which is the
recent stable version.

2- Is it hard to configure the drivers?

I haven't had experience with this and have had no issues with my software,
perhaps you should check out www.freebsd.org ; supported hardware is listed
there.

3- Is it compatible with Pentium 4?

Yes.

4- For a Social Network Web with a lot of members what kind of computer
would be the ideal to use with FreeBSD and so the periphericals are
completly compatible with FreeBSD.

Do you mean for a server to an online website?

5- What kind of paquets does FreeBSD to use on a server?

I don't understand your question, please elaborate.

Hope some of the above helps.

package vs ports question

[Huy Ton That]

I am curious, the key different between packages and ports are that packages
are precompiled and ports are not?  Am I erroneous in this statement?  I'm a
little confused as I have been always using make install clean from the
ports and don't see the difference...  Has anyone else had the same
question?

3ware 9550SX-8LP RAID help

[Huy Ton That]

Hello I just purchased a new server and was installing FBSD.  It currently
has 2 internal harddrives which are working and mountable.  Additionally
there are 3 hotswappable hdds which are connected to a 3ware 9550sx-8LP raid
5/0 controller card.  Everything has been configured properly within the
controller's bios.  However, the controller is not detected during boot
time.

I found out that the 'twa' drivers should take care of this, and after
consulting the online manpages I saw...  however it said FreeBSD 7.0 below
at the bottom of the online manpage...

*HARDWARE* 

 The *twa* driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:

 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-4LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-4LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-8LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-16ML
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-4LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-8LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-16ML

The odd thing is that when I do man twa locally on the machine, this is all
I have on my list:

 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-4LP
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8MI
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12MI

Is this just what is supported for FreeBSD 6.0?

I tried loading the twa locally from the box and received the following
message:

kldload twa
module_register: module pci/twa already exists!
Module pci/twa failed to register: 17
kldload: can't load twa: File exists

kldunload twa
kldunload: can't find file twa: No such file or directory

After a lot of digging around and modifying the kernel a bit it's working
now.  I also had to add twa_load to the loader.conf file set to 'yes'.
Thank you for your response sir; I appreciate your time.

Odd Sharity-Light mount issue

[Huy Ton That]

Hello, I found one other person who had the same below issue with
sharity-light however I did not find a resolution after some googling.

I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 Release and have just installed sharity-light
from the ports.  When I execute:  ./shlight //192.168.0.2/directory
/usr/ntmount -U administrator -P somepassword

It kicks back the error `nfs mount /usr/ntmount: [2] No such file or directory'

/usr/ntmount does exist with absolute certainty.

I'm using version sharity-light-1.2_1 which I believe is the latest.  Any ideas?

Re: Hosed my MBR?

[Huy Ton That]

Boot off the WinXP disc & enter the repair utility (console).

You can type 'help' for all the commands.

There's a command called fixmbr; I think this is what you are looking for.

Changing Default Editor in profile

[Huy Ton That]

under my home directory for root under .profile I added the line:

EDITOR=pico;export EDITOR

where no such line existed for EDITOR before; this line exists in my
personal account that I use and my default for external launched editors is
now pico such that I can edit crontab stuff easily.  However, when I ssh in
and then su, I try to run crontab only to find it is still booting into 'vi'
by default.  Any ideas how I can get this loaded?

You have to use "su -", if you want load your root's environnement.
su(1) for more explications.

BTX Loader Error / Help

[Huy Ton That]

Ugh this is bad...  I have this system functioning as a fileserver which was
working for months without a reboot.  Some coworkers complained of lag and
after a reboot it will not start up and I am continuously getting BTX halted
errors.  I tried loading off an FBSD disk but that would incur the same
problem.  Ideas?

BTX Loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS CD is cd0
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive d: is disk1
BIOS drive e: is disk2

etc...

sshd config config file question

[Huy Ton That]

Newbie question,

I've made a change to /etc/ssh/sshd_config

such as #MaxAuthTries 6 to MaxAuthTries 3

afterwards I /etc/rc.d/sshd reload as user root

the change did not propagate? Any ideas? Am I doing this correctly? Also
when I run:

/etc/rc.d/sshd status

I do not get any feedback. Am I editing the correct file?

Thanks

-Huy

Re: sshd config config file question

[Huy Ton That]

The daemon is up and has been up for a long time. In fact, when I made these
changes to sshd_config, for instance as a test maxauthtries to 3 I also
reloaded it during a ssh terminal session. After which I logged back in and
as a test, purposely errored the tries; it still defaulted to 6 despite the
sshd_config file change and reloading.

when I say I get no message I mean to state as such:

$/etc/rc.d/sshd status <--carriage return
$ <--no message after return.

Thanks Pete.

-Huy

(couple things, please don't top post, and be sure to keep
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc'd on this thread so others can help you)

i'm not sure what you mean about "no message".  make sure you have
sshd_enabled="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf.

also check to see if sshd is running by using "ps".  if it is not, try
starting it by hand - this will tell you if there are any errors on
startup.  once it starts cleanly by hand then use the init script in
/etc/rc.d/sshd.

the man page for sshd is very helpful, and should answer many of the
questions you may have - including how to start the daemon by hand,
etc..  type:
man sshd

Just a general question; not sure if it belongs in questions but let me know
otherwise.  I'm currently using gnome2 as my desktop environment on RC

reasons as
to behind the decision and such.

chown confusion

[Huy Ton That]

Okay I'm feeling like an idiot now, if i chowned a directory such that

user 'x' had the ownership of a given directory and was in group 'alpha'

user 'b' needed to add files to the said directory and was in group 'alpha'

now I know usually you do chown :groupname  or chown
user:groupname  to change ownership however...

I can limit a directory to only a user, but I want to limit it not at a user
level, but at a group level such that all users in a group can write to a
file.

An option to remove ownership perhaps chown -:groupname does this make
sense?
