Hello,
Is there any up-to-date definitive resource which explains how to get
FreeBSD (6.2) to authenticate against Active Directory (in my case
Windows 2003 R2 which includes SFU). There are a few informative
articles floating around, but most date back to 2004/2005 and most
involve the use
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf is configured with
"log-facility local7;"
and /etc/syslog.conf is also configured with
"local7.* /var/log/dhcpd.log"
However, /var/log/messages is filling up with "DHCPDISCOVER / no free
leases" messages for those clients that are unknown to the DHCP server
I installed the Diablo java packages
(http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml), but "which
java" shows "/usr/local/bin/java" which is a link to javavm in the same
directory.
I wondered about changing the link to point to one of these:
/usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/bin/java

Under normal circumstance, should the /etc/rc.subr functions handle the
creation of the pid at service start?
The basic vendor-provided script (which I've had to adapt somewhat to
suit this installation) runs "echo $! > ${dbgw_pidfile}" as the last
line of the script. When you do a 'status' comm
Hi Derek,
Not all scripts create a pid file is the simple answer.
I didn't see how the isc-dhcpd script or dovecot created a pid, so I
assumed it was something that rc.subr took care of.
Your script should create the pid file on start, remove it on stop, and
simply cat that file on a status.
I'm completely new to this so some of my ideas may sound ludicrous...
please put me right where necessary!
I will have 3 net-facing servers which must be available 24/7. I had
planned to have an additional box located in a different building on the
same site (in case of part power-outage) tha
It's been drawn to my attention not to use bash from the ports
collection, because if one of it's dependencies (gettext or libiconv)
fails or is updated significantly, it could break, and prevent login.
The suggested solution was to use a base shell (such as sh) and append
'bash -l' to .shrc to

What if you have more than 3Gb of RAM to play with... would you have to
use amd64 then?

Hello,
Using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, I'm trying to configure FreeBSD/Samba/Winbind

Can Samba mount a DFS share, using \\DOMAIN\dfs, rather than \\COMPUTER\dfs?
The following command successfully lists all the shares on a domain
controller, the same as \\DOMAIN does on Windows. One of the shares
returned is "dfs" which is the root of my dfs tree:

Hello,
After installing FreeBSD 7.0, I realised I'd forgotten to choose Linux
binary compatibility during the install. I tried installing from ports,
but it's gone and installed a load of other unwanted packages aswell now
(perl/popt/rpm etc...).
So, a few questions really...

When I run /usr/bin/m4 freebsd.mc, the output looks ok, except that none
of the define() lines show up in the output - even when running m4 on an

Can anyone help?

I am trying to mount an SMB share at startup. I have configured (as
root) .nsmbrc so I don't have to type a password. When I run "mount
-a", it mounts beautifully.
However, when restarting the server, it will not mount automatically.
According to rc.conf(5), smbfs is part of 'netfs_types' so
I copied /root/.nsmbrc to /etc/nsmb.conf with security at 600, and it
doesn't work. With security at 777 it still doesn't work.
Any more suggestions?
Many thanks,
Steve :)

Hi Martin,
You don't need samba if all you want to do is copy files from FreeBSD to
a Windows system. The easiest way to do it is to mount an existing
Windows share, on FreeBSD. This will give you access to the Windows
share, but nothing is shared o
Hi Martin,
I would have had to enabled nfs client if using
mount_smbfs, correct?
Nopes - stick to using the mount command. Depending on the filesystem
you specify (with the -t option), it will call the relevant mount
command itself (eg. mount_smbfs, mount_nfs).

Hello,
I've installed and configured samba with winbind, to allow Windows
Active Directory users to login without me having to create a local
account for them.
Generally speaking, it works (I can login, wbinfo -u|-g returns the
correct data). I can login as a Windows user through ssh, and a

I'm pretty sure I've done all the necessary steps to be able to ssh to

Here are snippets from my config:

I've noticed that with "files ldap" in nsswitch.conf, if I try to run

The problem seems to be the mapping of uid numbers to usernames (the -u
