Do I need to do the above if I'm not using the NAT function?
I'm using 6.2 release.

I need to keep Python 2.4 on my system to run Zope (which isn't
compatible with 2.5). So, I dutifully followed the instructions
under /usr/ports/UPDATING starting with "If want to keep 2.4.x
installed alongside 2.5.x [...]". When I came back a little later,
all of my dependent ports had been upgraded from py24-* to py25-*,
effectively killing my webserver.
Could someone else take a look at those instructions and see if they
make sense - they look a little suspicious to me - or if there is
some gotcha that I might have missed? Thanks.

So, I don't have any dmesg, because I don't get one at all with my
ath0 card that I'm currently typing this on my old dell 600mhz laptop.
I also have a wi0 card that works on the 600mhz machine, but it gives
a freeze on the new system, and when you remove it, you get "cbb0
ready never happened, staus=00; pccard0 card has no functions". I've
done my homework, and I know these topics come up, but I can't seem to
google an answer...I really, really, really hate hp/compaq. I love
the way it disables the machine if you try to put an atheros card in
the internal minipci slot. Shouldn't have bought the $400 laptop.
What can I say, I used to be a windows user ;) This is my last windows
machine to fall to bsd, at least it is if I can get a NIC in it to
work.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi, Manoliis:
I took your advice. I copied the burned iso file into a FreeBSD directory
and ran md5 and the check digits did not match. I then copied my downloaded
iso image from Win98 into FreeBSD and ran md5 and the digits did match. So
there was nothing wrong with the iso of disc1 that I downloaded from the web
site into Win98. It must have been the burning of the file in Win98 with
Nero Express that was the problem.
So I burned another copy of the iso in FreeBSd with burncd using:
burncd -f /dev/acd1 6.2-RELEASE-i386.iso fixate
and it booted just fine.
Thanks for all of your suggestions and advice. Now I will be spending the
better part of the weekend doing the installation of 6.2. Wish me luck.
Have a great day,
Larry

You might try the "APinger" port in: ports/net/apinger
I started using it a couple weeks ago to locate some connectivity
problems, and it's impressive for a small simple utility. It has a
startup script, if you wish to run it automatically.

Hurrah! :) Better part of a weekend, though? Oh well, mine not to reason
why...
It occurs to me now that under Win98 you would have had to use the ASPI
layer to burn your CD. Much as I loathe Nero, I found it was the ASPI
layer that caused my problems. The ASPI layer [for whatever reason]
tends to degrade over time until it's unusable. When I finally upgraded
my systems to Windows 2000, I was able to use the SPTI layer, which I
found far superior to ASPI.
It might be a good idea not to use Win98 for burning CDs any more. If
you did decide to use a more recent version of Windows, I can recommend
the freeware project Burnatonce, which is fully SPTI-capable.

I think you may be confusing var with swap. A different algorithm is
used for managing and writing/reading swap. I haven't heard of any
difference with /var.

I am going to get a UPS device for my home freebsd gateway/router and

that's the case with other manufacturers? I'd like to get something that

Hi,
How do you block this large range of ip addresses from different subnet?
IPFW only allows 65536 rules while this will probably use up a few hundred
thousands of lines.
I'm also trying to add this into my proxy configuration file, ss5.conf but
it doesn't allow me to add this large number.
IS this the limitation of IPF or FreeBSD? How do I work around this?

That's not an answer obviously. Error 28 is
#define ENOSPC 28 /* No space left on device */
This seems like a bug to me: when a filesystem fills you shouldn't be
getting this behaviour. Can you please follow the directions in the
developers handbook chapter on kernel debugging, and when you trigger
a hang, break to DDB from the console and force a dump, then file a PR
and make the core file available to the developers. Unfortunately
unless a developer can replicate the behaviour, providing access to a
core is the only real debugging option.
Thanks,
Kris

I tested with another hard disk, the one on which I'd installed
FreeBSD in the past. I put it on another IDE channel but the same
things happened. Now I wonder if it's my IDE controller which has
problems.
Some information about the hardware:

I have the intel 3945 on my Sony laptop. Works for me with
Damien Bergamini driver 20070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz and
FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE. There are a lot of error messages but it works
nonetheless. However i suspect that it produces memory corruption in
conjunction with the display card, which freezes from time to time
when the 3945 is activated and i am running X. I have never seen a crash
when the 3945 is shut down or i am running on console. The most recent
driver by B. Close is
20070715-wpi-freebsd-7.0-current.tgz
but it works only with FreeBSD-7 so i cannot test it. I have tested
other B. Close drivers, none worked.
As for the video, an Intel card is highly recommended, it works very
well on laptops and is sufficiently powerful to run things like compiz.
There are very good available video modes on console, contrary to many
other models.

Or doesn't; but wants to.
I tell people that if they "just want a Windows replacement", they should
stick with Windows or use a Mac because they want better service from the
computer without any growth in skills or responsibilities on their part.
A core strength of the *nix operating systems and communities is the
administrator/users' desire for control and acceptance of responsibilities
that come with that control. System administration is not a spectator
sport.

I've made a quick look-see through my copies of "The Complete FreeBSD" and
"Absolute BSD" and can't find the reference, but I recall reading
somewhere in my 4.x days that FreeBSD used a different algorithm to write
to the /var directory, if it was on its own filesystem, because /var was
written to a lot (holding logs and all.) Because of this, and all the way
up to 6.2 today, I put /var on its own filesystem, after / and swap.
Where the old AIX wonks used to call the "outer middle" of the disk. Was
this different algorithm really the case? And, now with UFS2, is it still
the case? I still put pgsql/data on /var.

Hi all,
I just installed X (xorg 7.2) and am using FluxBox. It's working well
and there are no problems. However, the mouse gets suddenly detached
and immediately reattached. I can't say exactly how often this
happens, roughly about 6~7 times a day.

Is it sign of a problem? In fact I don't care about the hardware as it

software.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Not sure if this is a limitation of ipf, but you should be able to do
what you want with pf and pf tables. As long as you're using a
relatively recent version of FreeBSD, you'll have pf as an option.

I have an external JBOD array that is a mirror

that array into a new/different freebsd host
machine. Is there anything I need to do to
prepare the new machine for the array?
Naively, I'd hope that the new machine will pick
up the geom configuration from the drives themselves,
so I won't have to run any gmirror or gstripe commands
on the new machine after the JBOD has been plugged
into it.
Can anyone who has done this before give me
a few tips on how to plan appropriately for
such a move?

In addition to the other suggestions, FreeBSD may have chosen a crappy
clock.
Believe it or not, most motherboards have multiple clocks. Depending on
the type of clock and the quality of the mobo, not all of these clocks
are good for keeping time. FreeBSD tries to choose the best clock at
boot time, but doesn't always get it right. For some interesting
discussions on this topic, search the list archives for "calcru" or
check out this FAQ entry:

Hi,
I have freebsd 6.2 installed on a disk with a 260Gb partition with only
a 30Gb label (don't ask :P) and I'm trying to resize the active
partition to the size of the existing label, so I can create another
partition. I've already set kern.geom.debugflags=16 to be able to write
to mbr, but fdisk doesn't update my disk and gives the following error:
fdisk: conflict with open slices
Does anywone know a way to force fdisk to update the partition table?
This is a remote machine so I can't boot from CD to correct the
partition table and/or reinstall the SO.
Thanks in advance,

Assuming the manufacturer does not provide a program - and few
do - the preferred software for APC (and compatible) units is
"apcupsd"; for others, it seems to be "nut" (sysutils/nut).
Check carefully to make sure it works with your UPS.

It seems fdisk updates the partition table anyway, it only displays a

It's the former. I'll try the suggested ntp sync option anyway. I'm adding
more sources too, in case the one that I'm syncing too isn't good enough.
Ah, in fact I think that it is not. Perhaps the NRC isn't permitting public

If this turns out to be your problem, I recommend using pool.ntp.org.
Read up a bit, it should be much more reliable on a consistent basis.
Also, OpenNTP has support built in to automatically talk to all of
ntp.org's servers without any funky configuration:

Hi all,
Whenever I reset my DRAC cards on my Dell machines, I can no longer use the
remote terminal applet to access the console. The error I see is this:
ukbd0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
ukbd0: detached
Is there any way to reinit the keyboard? (through ssh). i.e can the uhub
and/or the ukbd drivers be restarted. (short of powering down/up the whole
server.

I believe you will find 6.2 to be an excellent release, as most of us on

I use nut from the ports. I have had no problem with UPS's that have a
serial interface. Some USB interfaces work, some do not. So I would use a
UPS with a seral interface assuming you have a free serial port on the
server.

I'm sorry but I can't help you with your problem. But, you do need to
reset your clock, since you appear to have reached October two months

Hello Kirk,
A couple of thoughts that could be useful.
The instructions explain how to keep both 2.4 and 2.5 versions of
_Python_itself_, that's all. The "PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.5" line
of /etc/make.conf serves as an indicator to all new applications to
avoid confusion if python-2.4 is installed alongside.
You now probably have something like:
# ls -d /var/db/pkg/py*
/var/db/pkg/python24-2.4.4_1
/var/db/pkg/python25-2.5.1
/var/db/pkg/py25-cairo-1.4.0_1
/var/db/pkg/py25-chardet-1.0_3
[... etc., py25-* only ...]
Zope feels fine in this situation:
# cd /usr/ports/www/zope3
# make configure
[...]
===> Patching for zope-3.3.1
===> Applying FreeBSD patches for zope-3.3.1
===> zope-3.3.1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/python2.4 - found
===> Configuring for zope-3.3.1
Configuring Zope installation
Using Python interpreter at /usr/local/bin/python2.4
(The same for other py-* ports that are fixed to 2.4 interpreter (i.e.
www/py-pylons).)
Now, I'm trying to understand what happened to your webserver: you said
that changing py24-* to py25-* broke it. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I
see just 7 py-* ports that have any relationship with Zope. These are:
databases/py-psycopg [WITH_ZOPE optional]
devel/py-zopeInterface
devel/py-twistedCore [dependent on devel/py-zopeInterface]
lang/py-mx-base [WITH_ZOPE optional]
x11-toolkits/py-kiwi [optionally linked with devel/py-zopeInterface]
devel/py-zconfig [not sure about this one]
textproc/py-zpt [not sure about this one]
The presence of 'WITH_ZOPE' flag will force the port to use correct
version of Python:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/py-mx-base/
# make USE_ZOPE=yes
===> py23-mx-base-2.0.6 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/python2.3 - not
found
===> Verifying install for /usr/local/bin/python2.3 in
/usr/ports/lang/python23
(ZOPE_VERSION is also available.) So where is the connection between
zope and py-* ports that crashed your webserver? Please elaborate on
this, i.e. how does you webserver depend on py24-*?
In meantime, if you just need py24- versions of several ports, you can
do something like this:
# portupgrade -f -r -m "PYTHON_VERSION=2.4" py25-imaging
This will install py24-imaging and rebuild ports dependent on it (e.g.
graphics/skencil). Use '-n' flag to see what will happen first.
This is a quick and non-elegant help to get your webserver working
again. If you provide more information you will surely get more
in-depth explanation and more elegant solution from someone, preferably
from other Zope users.

Even though there are 65536 rule numbers, each number can actually have
any amount of rules assigned to it. What you're probably looking for,
though, is ipfw's table keyword, which uses the same radix tree lookup
format as the kernel's routing tables, so it scales well to large
amounts of sparse addresses. man ipfw, search for "lookup tables".

Thanks for the reply.
FreeBSD 7 is excellent. Applause to the Developers.
I have been using FreeBSD since 2. something.
Is there a good how to set up spam assassin for FreeBSD? Most I have tried
have no FreeBSD specific file placements listsed and I can't get it to work.

Yes. Please provide your entire ruleset. It's impossible to assist in
debugging a ruleset with only a partial ruleset. Do not trim or edit
the ruleset, as you may trim away the part that is causing the problem.
On your own, the output of 'ipfw show' can be useful for determining
which rules are blocking traffic, as it shows counters of how many
packets have matched each rule.
