network

Has anyone got a good reference for how to set up krb5p security? I've got NFSv4 running fine without security, but that kerberos setup has been a major pain in the neck. There doesn't seem to be much logging going on, no matter how much -d or -h's I use. It appears, Wireshark is my only utility...

I have a machine running FreeBSD 12.3 and I am looking for a way to monitor network changes through a shell script, specifically related to the network interfaces. Some examples of things that I would like to detect are: When a network interface changes status (e.g. from active to no carrier)...

Hey y'all, I'm new to BSD and have just installed FreeBSD and KDE Plasma on my Dell Latitude E5420. My wifi is not working, but LAN is. I've read that my wifi card is not supported by FreeBSD (Broadcom) but that it could possible to create the drivers myself using XP drivers and ndisscvt. I...

So, a Pi4 box is a server (192.168.66.40), a FreeBSD 13.0 laptop is a client (192.168.66.24). As far I understood, mount Samba is absolutely impossible? Because mount_smbfs still doesn't know what is SMB2+ 😣 (I don't want to use smbclient, really). OK, let's try NFS. No way too. It just hangs...

Because I made a (huge) mistake in a config file I ran into a problem that took me long to solve because I missed out on obvious error messages when my jails started. I guess with the way jails work, the behavior that I encountered is just how it is, not a bug. But I do want to describe it...

Hi, I hope this is the right forum. I just installed and from the screen with “cable” connected to router I could: ping www.yahoo.com ping www.google.com Both returned to me data (64 bytes from 216.58…. icmp_seq=11 tt1=109 time=60.234 ms) Unplugged the cable and got “no route to host” So I...

Hi all, I've been noting some weird networking issues with FreeBSD 13.0 on Google Cloud. After setting up the server, connectivity would be fine but a few days later on, without any configuration changes to FreeBSD or the VPC, would loose inbound connectivity for HTTP or SSH. The VM gets...

After a few days of hacking, I'm very close to finally using FreeBSD. I think I have one (hopefully) final step left, to get wifi working. Currently, my wifi adapter shows up in pciconf, but it doesn't seem to show up as wlan0. Running net-mgmt/wifimgr gives me the error ifconfig: interface...

Hi. I've just upgraded a 12.2-RELEASE system to 13.0-RELEASE, and during one of the reboots, I noticed that ctld was failing to start. Scrolling back through the boot messages on the console, I noticed that it was only after ctld tried to start that the network interfaces were configured...

Hello, I have set up an jail with ezjail while following this handbook tutorial. After setting it up, my physical interface that host uses has two IPs, one for jail one for host. For some programs listening on all IPs in host's interface this is not ideal. Can I add a virtual interface with its...

I just installed FreeBSD 12.2. I'm trying to set up internet access with an Intel 8260 Dual Band AC wifi adapter. I'm using an Xfinity Technicolor XB6 router from Comcast which has an IP address of 10.0.0.1 and when using DHCP it assigns IP addresses in the form of 10.0.0.x. For some reason the...

I've been messing around with jails and I'm able to setup a jail and have access to the net from inside of it using the "inherit" for ip4. Now I want to assign a different IP address for each jail I create but I loose access to the internet and I'm not able to install any packages in them. I'm...

When I try to restart the service with the command service dovecot restart it just gives me this error Fatal: Invalid system hostname: '' which I don't know how to solve. I tried to find in the dovecot.conf and in other configuration files some keywords about hostname, but I couldn't find...

This is my first post, so while I will do my best to stick to the forum rules and guidelines, I'm sure I'll get something wrong. All assistance in that regard is appreciated. With that out of the way, I seem to have a problem. I currently have a FreeBSD 12.2 ZFS VPS set up, and connected to my...

Hello, all. I've installed FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE on my laptop just yesterday and got my wired network up and running. However, I also need to create an access point so I can connect my phone to the Internet (my modem doesn't have wireless capabilities). I've tried following the instructions in...

Hello everyone, as you can see in the title, I'm having some trouble trying to make a load balancer on one of my FreeBSD servers. I don't know why but the configuration that I'm giving to apache looks fine, because it's giving me a "syntax ok" when I restart the service, but asks me if the...

Hi! I was not sure if I should put this to networking or off topic. I am looking for a relative cheap ITX motherboard and computer case which can handle 2x8 PCI-E cards with bifurcation without cutting metal or other kind of tinkering. I'd like to have something small for my home network, but I...

After updating to 12.2-RELEASE my box no longer can reach a default route for ipv4. ipv6 seems to autoconfigure, but ifconfig does not show an inet entry. I have been able to fix it manually, but it requires me to do it after every reboot. Manual Fix after reboot: sudo setfib 0 route add...

I have a Digital Ocean droplet running FreeBSD 12.1-p10 and I am experiencing slow responses to pkg commands. In order to investigate I tried disabling IPv6 (without much success) and did a service netif restart after which my droplet was unavailable. Accessing it via the console showed me that...

Hello All, I would like to ask more experienced users how to conceptually approach the following task. I have a subnet 192.168.1.0/24 running a file server and backup machine in iocage jails (jails' IPs are on the same subnet). I would like to install IP cameras with zoneminder again running in...
