Hi..

I dont know if this post belong here..but i try searching anywhere but none
could solve my problem..hope someone will help me here

I have problem in my load images using Mozilla & IE, the image can't load
for example in site of friendster most images
don't load, i have read lots of blogs about it some says that its a "BUG"
from friendster but they say they it was already.

Suddenly, i read from one blog by changing the DNS in IPV4 properties of
Network Connection it will fix the problem honestly i followed the
instruction and
gotcha it work out. but when i resume it to its current configuration
"Obtain DBS server automatically" the problem is back, is this a problem in
my DNS server?
I'm using the FreeBSD 6.2 version...

I already restarted the DNS Server "/etc/rc.d/named restart" but nothing
happens the problem is still there..Is there any one here could help
me solve it?

Hope someone here will help me, I'm stuck in this problem for 3 weeks,
another thing only site friendster the images dont load no other site

I am attempting to compile Perl 5.8.8 on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE.  I make it 
through the configuration just fine, but when I attempt to run the make 
command, I receive the following error message.  I am creating a custom 
install.  The only parameter I am changing is the installation location.

make: don't know how to make <command-line>. Stop.

I have run make depend, and it finishes without any problems.

I'm sure this is something simple I am missing because I have been 
looking at the problem for so long.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

A lot more than just the handbook and man pages:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/

Design and Implementation is dense if you're not at that level of 
understanding yet.
It's the high level, comprehensive OS engineering manual.
And, like any engineering manual, by it's nature (not reflecting on 
McKusick), it can put you to sleep trying to read it front to back.
Honestly, it's too much too fast to practically learn from unless your 
already familiar with designing and implementing an OS and just want to 
get up to speed on FreeBSD.
The purpose spans the whole OS, so it's impossible to find focus on some 
relevant achievable goal in a straight front to back reading.
I'm finding it better for referencing particular internals you're 
focusing on at the moment.

A fun and exciting whirlwind tour that cuts quickly to the most 
significant internals and is strictly focused with a well defined and 
immediately achievable purpose is "Designing BSD Rootkits" by Joseph 
Kong. You'll be tinkering with protocol structures and manipulating 
critical system tables a lot faster. It's a serious eye-opener.

What you will find is that, in terms of development, /usr/src and 
analysis tools are the ultimate resources.

In terms of system administration, the Handbook, man pages and domain 
specific documentation are your best reference. Your best resource is 
experience. Ultimately, FreeBSD is just another system. The system must 
have a purpose. Your purpose will entail providing services. Your 
experience will be in mastering these services. Services are more so 
defined by their protocols and APIs than by the systems they're hosted 
on. Once you put it in perspective, the system is really just another 
collection of services, but these focus on providing a standard 
interface to the actual hardware beneath that make it all possible. But 
that's not entirely accurate, because ultimately, it's people that have 
made it possible, not the machines.

Again and again, it comes down to "Purpose" and focus. So, the real 
question becomes not one of resources (of which, there are plenty), but 
of inspiration and creativity.

That got only a little bit farther.  It did find the setup program,
and the option dialogs seemed to work properly, but very shortly
after starting the actual install I got an error box:


                             VISIO Setup

   ! Tried to create an invalid path using 'A:\' and 'clipart.vs_'


and it locked up the display so that CtrlAltF1 would not switch
to a text screen (although it did allow AltTab to bring up FVWM's
window list).  After clicking OK:


                             Visio Setup

                           i Setup failed.


and it quit.

It's a bit bad choice of words, better would be "previous message repeated 7 
times". So the message that is repeated, is the message directly above it.

Sorry, can't help you with NUT, but it looks like server disconnects are not 
handled correctly and just generate hundreds of messages about stale data, 
rather then refreshing the data.

Subject: gdm sessions - xfce + fluxbox
Message-ID: <101a1afc0805010405s127300aew5b2d0ecd65c5b6fa@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I would want to have a choice at login time between xfce (my default desktop
wm) and fluxbox. I have followed the steps from this document :
http://geek00l.blogspot.com/2006/06/freebsd-fluxbox-gdm.html

but i did not have the xsessions directory under /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/.

so i created one and created another file called Fluxbox.desktop inside it.
Then followed the rest of the document as is.  Additionally I copied the
startfluxbox binary to the ~/.Xclients file under the binary for xfce.

What has happened now is that I still dont see no choice under the sessions
menu in gdm morever i get logged on to xfce first.

Now when I log on from xfce I get logged on to fluxbox meaning the fluxbox
desktop may be waiting for the x-resources like the screen, mouse etc to
become available and then when it does become available it starts to run.

Im rather confused. Please help me with this and perhaps give me some
insight as to why it is the wa it is if you can

Hope to hear from you fellas

Subject: 7.0-RELEASE + newer kernel
Message-ID: <C6130488-FE34-43D1-8719-5CA53681C4F6@gmail.com>

So, I'm one of those trying to run FreeBSD on one of the newest  
Macbooks. The hardware support looks very good, except that the  
network chips are not supported. But the Ethernet chip is supported by  
the msk driver in the current 7.0-STABLE kernel. Now, before I push  
the whole system from RELEASE to STABLE, is there some chance I can  
stay with 7.0-RELEASE and just use a new version of the msk module  
with the release kernel?

I compiled the miibus.ko and if_msk.ko modules from a stable kernel,  
but the latter complains about an undefined symbol 'm_collapse' at  
loading. This symbol is defined in sys/kern/uipc_mbuf.c, so I think I  
have bad chances running the new driver on the old kernel.

The reasons why I hesitate to upgrade to 7.0-STABLE are:

- freebsd-update won't work anymore. How do I then get informed about  
security updates?
- Can't install distributions with sysinstall anymore. Do I just  
compile everything from source?
- How do I actually update from release to stable? I have to compile  
everything myself from the sources, right? As well as for any update?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Anselm

Yes (to distributions, no to ports), but you have to upgrade by source 
to -STABLE to begin with, unless you want to go the hard way and bake a new 
CD/DVD.

Wish I'd thought to try that last night.  I eventually shut it
down again (shutdown -p) until I could come in this morning and
take a look at the console while booting -- and now everything
is fine.  I have now tried a few reboots (shutdown -r) and halts
(shutdown -h), and I have a dmesg every time it recovers.

I will certainly keep an eye on this and see if I can reproduce
this in any fashion.  If anyone else sees this phenomena (even
transiently), I would love to know about it.

Just for the record, I asked because by default, dmesg uses kvm_read(3) to 
read the kernel's message buffer. -M tries to read the sysctl kern.msgbuf, so 
in the event kvm_read screwed up somewhere without noting an error, 
the 'backdoor' might just work. Pure speculation without having looked in 
detail at the kernel code, but I wanted to rule it out. What I did suspect, 
is that kernel's message buffer didn't get filled to begin with and that's a 
whole different ballgame.

FYI: unless you really need dmesg to work for normal operations, you could've 
just let it up running and use scroll-lock+arrows/pgup|down to go all the way 
back up to btx loader. If it was the kernel message buffer not getting 
filled, I'd suspect some kind of message complaining about that.
I know that doesn't help now, but for next time and googlers ;)

That's really weird.  Is that an unchanged GENERIC kernel, with an
empty make.conf?  If so, youseem to have something inconsistent in
your sources.  How did you install the sources?  Can you wipe them
clean and try again?

Even for non-standard location installs, I recommend using the ports
instead of building yourself, but if you really want to do it by hand,
expect to need to know a bit more about what you're doing.  In this
case, I suspect you need to use gmake instead of (the native) make.

Thanks for responding.  I used CVSUP to update the source.  This system is
actually a restore from another server that I dumped from.  The original
server worked just fine (I tried it as an experiment).  This is the only
issue I have seen on the restored server so far.  I just did a binary
upgrade and am now rebuilding all of the ports from scratch.  I will do as
you suggested when that is done (rm -rf /usr/src/) and start from scratch.
 I thought the fact that the compile failed was really strange.  I have
never seen that before.

lol Well, if it's in {SSHA} format and you change a few digits here
and there, that's not a security issue :)

Well, I'd certainly love to see how you've set things up. We could
compare with what I've published on my wiki. The documentation is not
finished, but it's a start. I'd really appreciate if people could
check it out and tell me where the document could be enhanced, if I
made any mistakes, things like that. Check it out here:

http://wiki.zerocatastrophe.com/wiki/UNIX/FreeBSD/Kerberos+OpenLDAP

Notice that I've updated my documentation to reflect your LDIF data as
I believe it to be the very flexible. Thanks!

I know that Edward Capriolo (in Cc: to this email) has also published
some Kerberos & OpenLDAP documentations online. Edward, care to join
us here?

Indeed, that's also a problem I have. How do you go about to solve this?

I'm not sure but it seems that you are trying to use dhcp to receive the 
address of DNS-server.

Check the file /etc/resolv.conf ,this file should look like this:

nameserver 10.1.2.3
nameserver 10.4.5.6
nameserver 10.7.8.9

Subject: Recovering mysql data - mysqlbinlog
Message-ID: <200805011745.GER48602@jmu.edu>

Can someone direct me to where the MySQL transaction logs are stored?  I am
running FreeBSD 6.1 with MySql 5.0.41 which I installed from ports, no extra
config.  From what I've read online, unless you disable them (which I
couldn't find in the makefile) the logs should be being created.  Doing a
find / --name "bin." Didn't turn up anything.

 

I'll also note that it is not in var/db/mysql with the rest of the mysql
data files and the ib_logfiles which would have been useful, but the data I
am trying to recover is from a MyISAM.

 

Thanks for the help!

/var/db/mysql/hostname-bin.number
/var/db/mysql/hostname-bin.index
/var/db/mysql/hostname.err

And if you've enabled query logging (stores passwords in plain text!)
/var/db/mysql/query.log

1.  Wait until the PHP port gets updated.
2.  OR, uninstall portaudit and throw all sheets to the wind.
3.  OR, read the appropriate manpage for either ports(7) or portaudit
	and determine how to override the portaudit check.  I've not
	got portaudit installed on this box, and ports(7) is a rather
	long manpage, so I'll leave this exercise to the reader.  Oh,

By default they end up in /var/db/mysql and are named $hostname-bin.###
Also, the information you read online is incorrect. By default, binary logging 
(which are the transaction logs) is disabled. I don't recall whether this is 
a FreeBSD port specific modification.

You can turn it on by putting a my.cnf in /var/db/mysql. Templates named 
my-$size.cnf are in /usr/local/share/mysql and are well-commented.

Can someone direct me to where the MySQL transaction logs are stored?
I am running FreeBSD 6.1 with MySql 5.0.41 which I installed from
ports, no extra config.  From what I've read online, unless you
disable them (which I couldn't find in the makefile) the logs should

I'll also note that it is not in var/db/mysql with the rest of the

the data I am trying to recover is from a MyISAM.

Thanks for the help!

Thank you Mel and Paul for the suggestions.  From what I understand the
general query log is more for debugging and the binary log is for point in
time recovery and replication.  I'll be adding a my.cnf file (using the
my-large.cnf as a skeleton) soon.  I'm glad the issue was caught earlier on
and now I'm the wiser thanks to you guys.  I wonder why the default is no.
I can't think of anyone who wouldn't find the binary logging beneficial.

I didn't run myisamchk since I'm trying to restore data that was mistakenly
deleted and not recovering from a corruption.

I can think of a reason for FreeBSD. The binary logs are never deleted and 
upon every server restart a new one is created. If you're like me, developing 
on a laptop with a webenvironment including 'Mysql server', shutting down 
your laptop daily, you quickly find yourself having full /var partition.

People running dedicated or semi-dedicated MySQL installations, are encouraged 
to tweak their installation anyway. The most common ones being:
- put the binary logs on a large enough disk, if possible a seperate disk
  all together for performance.
- by default, /tmp is used for temporary sorting tables, when JOINs demand it.
  If that's a small partition or worse a 64MB memory disk, expect to get in
  trouble, system wide. Use the tmpdir configuration variable.
- thread_concurrency as indicated in the templates
- skip-networking for security if all traffic is local
- sort and key buffer + max_connections to limit/max out memory usage.

That can be alleviated by adding the logs to newsyslog.conf and gzipping and 
rotating them regularly.
If you don't restart mysql much, something like this would work:

/var/db/mysql/[hostname]-bin.*    mysql:mysql  660  7     *  $W6D0     JBG 
/var/db/mysql/[FQHN].pid

If you're restarting it daily, something like this should work:

/var/db/mysql/[hostname]-bin.*    mysql:mysql 660 25     * $D0  JBG 
/var/db/mysql/[FQHN].pid

Adjust the counts and the rotation schedule to your liking and, of course, use 
your own hostname and fully qualified hostname.

I just want to say I'm having the same problem. I have an asus p5n-e SLI, two
seagate 250GB sata2 HD's. 

When trying to install FreeBSD 7.0-Release, the sysinstall pops up the
message "No Disks Found!(...)". And after that I can't boot up neither my
Win Xp, Linux or Freebsd 6.2 anymore... 

Has anyone figured out a solution yet? :/

Another minor problem was that I was unable to run sysinstall with my usb
keyboard, got stuck right at the region choice window.

Yes, in this particular case it can, not changing hostnames is a plus then (as 
in, getting hostname from your dhcp server) ;)
Actually, I think you can use a fixed name, but it's been a while since I 
looked at the bin-log related variables.

However if you're using the bin-log, to recover accidental deletes or 
replications, then you need to use the mysql provided SQL commands for it. 
It's scriptable (periodic/crontab), but not for use in newsyslog.

That would typically start with send-pr, so devs know there's a problem. 
Looking at the dmesg posted by Troels, I would include an acpi dump.

You removed device acpi and shouldn't have done that.
Also, your build system looks weird.
What is compile/dd, why are you compiling under i386 when your system is 
detected as amd64 or ia64, why is MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX pointing to a directory 
below the source tree, rather then a directory outside the source tree.
In other words, not enough info (aside from the missing question).

Your client. IIRC, secureCRT had an option to bind keys to a different 
combination. But it's been a while.
ctrl-a for HOME and ctrl-e for END should work, regardless of client.

like i said i copy GENERIC

dd# pwd
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf
dd# grep -i acpi GENERIC
dd#

my GENERIC doesn't have acpi either...

as far as "weird" part goes, this is a plain vanila
FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE, I'm not sure what you mean by "weird" or i386
part, all I did is cp GENERIC dd then vi dd, then config dd and then
tried compiling and it threw me an error right away.

Subject: mailcap documentation?
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.1.00.0805011653410.82881@prime.gushi.org>

Hello all,

There's apparently an RFC-standard file called /etc/mailcap (as well as 
.mailcap), but I can't find any docs on this file.

Would it be worthwhile to rework the RFC into a manpage (I am willing to 
do it), or should I bother the providers of ports that use it (such as, 
say, alpine (and possibly others)?  The problem is, they likely don't 
bundle it because other OSes have it already.

It's a fairly standard file, but FreeBSD doesn't ship with an MUA that 
uses it (I *think*).  I know mail(1) does not.

-Dan

I use same client for RHEL, and it works fine, is there anything can
be done in order to make key work as a key (not on client side) but on
server?

Ah, the old config way.
Better to use buildkernel target in /usr/src.

domain name myplace.com.ph

According to the resolver(5) documentation, it should look like this:

   domain myplace.com.ph
   nameserver 101.1.21.1
   nameserver 192.168.1.62

The problems with what you've just posted are:

    1. the file is /etc/resolv.conf, not /etc/resolve.conf
    2. your contents are wrong, they should look like:
        domain myplace.com.ph
        nameserver 101.1.21.1
        nameserver 192.168.1.62

Ha! I didn't catch the misspelling of resolv.conf. :-(

Hi Alexus,

probably, yes. I guess that your client sets the TERM variable to
something FreeBSD doesn't understand correctly. The settings in
TERMINFO aren't neccessarily the same on all platforms, let alone the
fact that some aren't available at all. There's for example "linux"
which I've seen to be the default in some terminals but doesn't work
on non Linux-systems of course.
"xterm" seems to be available everywhere, but doesn't contain the same
binding on all platforms. Solaris for example lacks color support on
some other bindings I've forgotten.
"vt100" should be fine everywhere (but might miss a few features).
You can try several TERM settings in one session by assigning the
proper value to this variable, respectively.

If you found one that suits your needs you can save this setting on
the client side, because its the client that sends the Terminfo to be
used to the server.

Subject: handling stale dependencies
Message-ID: <481AA49E.2020404@lc-words.com>

Hello,

I will appreciate your advice about how to best handle stale 
dependencies. Today I wanted to upgrade phpMyAdmin and I got a number of 
questions about stale dependencies. I eventually deleted all of them, 
but does this mean I need to upgrade ports which used this dependency 
(mailgraph-1.14_1, netpbm-10.26.52, p5-FuzzyOcr-devel-3.4.2_1, 
php5-gd-5.2.5_1, and rrdtool-1.2.26)?

Stale dependency: mailgraph-1.14_1 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]
Deleted.
Stale dependency: netpbm-10.26.52 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]
Deleted.
Stale dependency: p5-FuzzyOcr-devel-3.4.2_1 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]
Deleted.
Stale dependency: pear-Image_Color-1.0.2_1 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]
Deleted.
Stale dependency: pecl-pdflib-2.1.5 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]
Deleted.
Stale dependency: php5-gd-5.2.5_1 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]
Deleted.
Stale dependency: phpMyAdmin-2.11.5 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):

Deleted.
Stale dependency: rrdtool-1.2.26 -> png-1.2.27 (graphics/png):
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]
Deleted.

I am not even sure png is installed.
$ pkg_info -Ix png
pkg_info: no packages match pattern(s)

$ cat /usr/ports/graphics/png/distinfo
MD5 (libpng-1.2.28.tar.bz2) = c981a7014fc695e354d2f2cac3a6742e

Many thanks in advance!

Ummm... actually this is not a particularly good idea.  MySQL keeps an internal
list of all the binlogs it has available, and doing this will break that.  The
best method is to cron a script that will run eg.

    PURGE MASTER LOGS BEFORE DATE_SUB( NOW( ), INTERVAL 7 DAY);

for whatever interval suits you.  binlogs can absorb a lot of space for very
little return, especially on a busy server.  There's really no point in keeping
binlogs from before the earliest full database dump in your backup cycle,
and even keeping that many is probably a little OTT for most purposes.

You are regularly dumping the database aren't you?

MySQL recommends that you use a fixed name for binary logs nowadays.
mysql-bin.NNNNNNN typically.  The reasoning seems to be that it makes it
easier to deal with replication -- although relay logs are all still labeled
by the hostname of the master server.

| Hello,

| I will appreciate your advice about how to best handle stale 
dependencies. Today I wanted to upgrade phpMyAdmin and I got a number of 
questions about stale dependencies. I eventually deleted all of them, 
but does this mean I need to upgrade ports which used this dependency 
(mailgraph-1.14_1, netpbm-10.26.52, p5-FuzzyOcr-devel-3.4.2_1, 
php5-gd-5.2.5_1, and rrdtool-1.2.26)?

I am not sure what your asking... if your asking do you need png for 
phpMyAdmin the short answer is no... the long answer is yes because if 
you want to maintain the ports it depends on then they need png.

Portupgrade uses an external DB (not the same one as pkg_* uses) and 
this is the one that pkgdb maintains.   Which means that until you run 
pkgdb portupgrade will use the "old" depends... now if you not using 
portupgrade this is not an issue but since you are you need to make sure 
the two are in sync.


That being said once you answered yes/all to "Delete this?" then any 
mention of the depend in pkgdb will be removed and if you had already 
done a make deinstall or pkg_delete then your fine all the way around 
(and by definition you already have because you will not get that 
question unless the port/package doesn't exist in the /var/db/pkg hierachy)

Ok, I already subscribed to the freebsd-security-notifications list, I

Since compiling is no problem for me, I think I will stick with the  
source, since you also can install parts of the source, e.g. install  
the manual pages afterwards.

Subject: measure traffic caused by pppd (UMTS)
Message-ID: <20080502094646.GA3576@rebelion.Sisis.de>


Hello,

Sometimes when I travel around and can't see any usable WLAN I'm using
the UMTS and PPPD, which works well but of course one must pay for this;

Is there some tool which I could put into /etc/ppp/ip_down script which
logs the traffic done into some file; I see /usr/ports/net/ppptraf which
comes without any documentation and is curses based :-(
any other ideas?

I'm not interested in any analysis about to which location the traffic
goes or about speed and bandwidth; just

- cmd line based with output to a file or stdout
- the amount of bytes/megabytes in and out;

thx in advance

Subject: handling mysql binlog data
Message-ID: <481B08B2.7070702@lc-words.com>

Hello,

Following a recent thread I would like to ask if it is safe to remove 
old binlog data. From the below I understand that the current binlog is 
mysql-bin.000007 and the previous ones (from 000001-000006) are not 
written to any more. I just need confirmation before I take any action. 
By asking whether it is safe, I only mean if deleting them will not 
affect mysql operation. I do backups of mysql data anyway.

-rw-rw----  1 mysql  mysql    61956466 Apr 16 08:44 mysql-bin.000001
-rw-rw----  1 mysql  mysql   697756219 Apr 17 14:26 mysql-bin.000002
-rw-rw----  1 mysql  mysql        1056 Apr 17 14:29 mysql-bin.000003
-rw-rw----  1 mysql  mysql  1073745860 Apr 24 05:49 mysql-bin.000004
-rw-rw----  1 mysql  mysql   620489997 Apr 27 10:48 mysql-bin.000005
-rw-rw----  1 mysql  mysql   229357379 Apr 28 15:55 mysql-bin.000006
-rw-rw----  1 mysql  mysql   869964294 May  2 14:15 mysql-bin.000007

Do I understand correctly that removing mysql-bin.000007 would result in 
mysql not writing any data to mysql-bin file until the server gets 
restarted?

Many thanks for sharing!

Then you should:

cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
copy/edit GENERIC dd 
/usr/sbin/config dd
cd ../compile/dd
make cleandepend;make depend;make;make 
make install

this should work

How do I compile in debugging into apache using ports?  There is no 
configmenu when one begins to install/compile the port.  I'm still having 
trouble with apache crashing on a recently upgraded server.  (after I have 
rebuilt all of the ports).  I was having the same problem with apache on a 
sandbox server after upgrade to 7.0-RELEASE.  I wasn't ever able to figure 
it out.  I have just upgraded apache on a production server, and I am not 
able to cut over until apache working.  I get no errors in log files no 
errors on std out, and no core dump either.  If I attache to GDB, I get no 
messages either.  Wierd.

First, put WITH_DEBUG=absolutely in /etc/make.conf.  This will cause all
ports that are built to have debug symbols.  I believe you need to save
the /usr/ports/*/[portname]/work directory after installing, so don't do
a make clean until you've archived that somewhere.

Then, ensure the sysctls in the kernel are all frobbed to allow coredumps.
Specifically:
kern.coredump: 1
kern.sugid_coredump: 1

Then, make sure the www user has write access to wherever it's trying to
dump to.  Personally, I prefer to tweak kern.corefile to be
/usr/local/corefiles/%N.%P.core.  I can then ensure that directory exists
and that all users have write access to it (probably not the best idea
on a production server, however)

The reason for keeping binlog files is so that you can replay any SQL
queries that modify the database contents.  You may want this for auditing
or for performance analysis, but the most usual reason is as a way 
of recoverng the database contents right up to the very latest point
possible.

In that case, if you're making regular database dumps, you only need the
binlog data written after the database dump.  (Depending on how paranoid
you are, you might have several database dumps, and keep binlogs between
the oldest dump you have and the present, but that's probably more than
is strictly necessary)

MySQL maintains an open file descriptor on the current binlog file -- if
you delete that file while MySQL is running, you'll clear the directory
entry for the file, but the file data will still exist and be writable
for MySQL.  Of course, as soon as MySQL closes the descriptor, the last
link to the data will be lost, and the OS will feel free to recycle that
chunk of disk space.

I recently removed all logs prior to the one shown as current
without any problems. I would not think you would want to
remove the one currently in use or problems would result.

The procedure for this is here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/purge-master-logs.html
for 5.1 and here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/purge-master-logs.html
for 5.0

Simply doing an rm on the files you know are no longer in use
is probably not a good idea because they are known within mysql
data files. Using the above will make sure they are removed in
an orderly manner. According to the docs, if you use the process
as shown, the active file will be skipped even if you accidently
try to remove it.

I'd like a manpage for mailcap. Even though it doesn't exist in
FreeBSD quite a lot of ports use it as you say e.g mutt which comes
with a very short example mailcap.

I think there should be an example mailcap in base too. I can't see
what harm it would do.

You're probably best raising this on docs though.

Heya,

Running a fresh install of 7.0-RELEASE.  I've cvsup'd the sources, done the
standard updating, e.g.
      make buildworld
      make buildkernel
      make installkernel
      (reboot)
      mergemaster -p
      make installworld
      mergemaster
      (reboot)

But now ipf gives me ye olde
      Root Dude ? /sbin/ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules
      open device: No such file or directory
      User/kernel version check failed

The ipf version is:
      Root Dude ? ipf -V
      ipf: IP Filter: v4.1.28 (512)
      open device: No such file or directory


My supfile is pretty standard, with
      *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7
      src-all

I've had this before when I've spaced out the make installworld.  I've never
gotten this *after* the sync/build.

Have I missed a bit of documentation somewhere?

Thanks a lot! It did help me get rid of a few files in a safe way. I 
only wonder now how to set up a cron job to do it on a permanent basis?

1/ I would probably be better off setting this mysql query (URGE {MASTER 
| BINARY} LOGS BEFORE 'date') in a separate file an run it from cron?

2/ Even if I do that, I would still have to change the 'date' value each 
month... hmm... as non-programmer I will probably do best to simply 
enter a task in a calendar to run this manually... each month :)

Thank you anyway - this was very helpful and I instantly saved a lot of 
space on a shrinking /var partition!

I find it most comfortable to do this manually so I can check
my backups first. There is an example in the reply comments
below the documentation on the 5.0 version of the mysql
doc page that shows a "unix" way to set up a cron script
and automate the process. I've not tried it.

Shrinking /var partition?: I found the ports setup of mysql to
be overly restrictive by using the /var method. It was simple
to install, shutdown mysqld, copy the contents of the /var
database files (preserving the appropriate ownership and
permissions). I then added (assuming /usr is your large
partition)

mysql_dbdir="/usr/mysql"
mysql_datadir="/usr/mysql"

to /etc/rc.conf and restarted. It is an outage but it helped given
I'd never have thought to size /var anywhere near what a
medium size database required.

Yeah, I am in the same boat so to say... I guess copying mysql data 
using cp -p will preserve all the file attributes?

Will any future upgrade (by means of portupgrade) not change the custom 
mysql location back to /var/db/mysql?

Thanks again Chris!

Well from bad experience that goes no where, due-to rare issue and no
supporting logs/core dumps... Therefore that be a complete no :(

V:    How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===============

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

       Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
       into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
       activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
       yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
       security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==============================================

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from freebsd-questions-request@FreeBSD.ORG.  In this message, amongst
other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical
message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/me@me.org
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for "me@me.org").  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS               User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
      keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
      example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
      grog@lemis.de.  Since then, I have changed it to
      grog@lemis.com.  If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from
      the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
      which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
      FreeBSD-questions.  If that's the case, you'll have to figure out
      which one it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're
      not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the
      messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a
      clue there.

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things
out for you.  Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
=========================================

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In some cases, it's not really
clear which group you should ask.  The following criteria should help
for 99% of all questions, however:

     If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this
     isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ).  There's a list of these
     questions at
     http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html,
     and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at
     /usr/share/doc/en/books/faq/index.html.  Check there, and if you
     don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions.  Examples might be
     questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular
     UNIX utility.

     If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure,
     or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to
     FreeBSD-questions.

     If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that
     it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code
     where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the
     message to FreeBSD-hackers.  You should also enter a problem
     report with the send-pr utility.

     If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can
     make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the
     message to FreeBSD-hackers.

     If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as
     implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send
     the message to FreeBSD-hackers.

There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for
example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet
Service Providers) who run FreeBSD.  If you happen to be an ISP, this
doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to
FreeBSD-isp.  The criteria above still apply, and it's in your
interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good
results that way.

IV:  How to submit a question
=============================

When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the
following points:

  1.  Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question.
      They do it of their own free will.  You can influence this free
      will positively by submitting a well-formulated question
      supplying as much relevant information as possible.  You can
      influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete,
      illegible, or rude question.  It's perfectly possible to send a
      message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you
      follow these rules.  It's much more possible to not get an
      answer if you don't.  In the rest of this document, we'll look
      at how to get the most out of your question to
      FreeBSD-questions.

  2.  Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message:
      they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests
      them.  Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject.
      ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough.  If you provide
      no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it.  If your
      subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may
      not read it.

  3.  When sending a new message, well, send a new message.  Don't
      reply to some other message, erase the old content and change
      the subject line.  That leaves an In-reply-to: header which many
      mail readers use to thread messages, so your message shows up as
      a reply to some other message.  People often delete messages a
      whole thread at a time, so apart from irritating people, you
      also run a chance of having the message deleted unread.

  4.  Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T
      SHOUT!!!!!.  We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak
      English as their first language, and we try to make allowances
      for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message
      written full of typos or without any line breaks.  A lot of
      badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly
      configured mailers.  The following mailers are known to send out
      badly formatted messages without you finding out about them:

      Eudora
      exmh
      Microsoft Exchange
      Microsoft Internet Mail
      Microsoft Outlook
      Netscape

      As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent
      offenders.  If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer.  If you must
      use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set
      up correctly.  Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers
      which don't get on very well with MIME.

      For further information on this subject, check out
      http://www.lemis.com/email.html.

  5.  Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly.  This may
      seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but
      many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred
      messages a day.  They frequently sort the incoming messages by
      subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the
      first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to
      look.

  6.  Don't include unrelated questions in the same message.  Firstly,
      a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's
      more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the
      questions to read the message.

  7.  Specify as much information as possible.  This is a difficult
      area, and we need to expand on what information you need to
      submit, but here's a start:

         If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error
         messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No
         route to host'''.

         If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say
         (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free
         vnode isn't'''.

         If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us
         what hardware you have.  In particular, it's important to
         know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in
         your machine.

         If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the
         configuration.  Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of
         authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic
         IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file?

  8.  If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see
      your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend
      the message.  Wait at least 24 hours.  The FreeBSD mailer
      offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the
      world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to
      get through.  And once it gets through, the one person who might
      know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part
      of the world.

  9.  If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there
      could be other reasons.  For example, the problem is so
      complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does
      know the answer was offline.  If you don't get an answer after,
      say, a week, it might help to re-send the message.  If you don't
      get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably
      not going to get one from this forum.  Resending the same
      message again and again will only make you unpopular.

To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following
question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-).  You choose which of
these two questions you would be more prepared to answer:


Message 1:
Subject: (none)

I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message 2:
Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD

I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm
having a lot of difficulty installing it.  I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16
MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball
disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive.  The installation works just
fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing
Operating System".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

V: How to follow up to a question
=================================

Often you will want to send in additional information to a question
you have already sent.  The best way to do this is to reply to your
original message.  This has three advantages:

1.  You include the original message text, so people will know what
    you're talking about.  Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out,
    though.

2.  The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to
    put one in, didn't you?).  Many mailers will sort messages by
    subject.  This helps group messages together.

3.  The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the
    previous message.  Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages,
    showing the exact relationships between the messages.

VI: How to answer a question
============================

Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider:

1.  A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to
    answering questions.  Read them.

2.  Has somebody already answered the question?  The easiest way to
    check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then
    (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all
    together.

    If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean
    that you shouldn't send another answer.  But it makes sense to
    read all the other answers first.

3.  Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been
    said?  In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much,
    although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a
    problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or
    whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software.  If
    you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further
    relevant information.

4.  Are you sure you understand the question? Very frequently, the
    person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express
    himself very well.  Even with the best understanding of the system,
    it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question.  This
    doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question
    more frustrated or confused than ever.  If nobody else answers, and
    you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more
    information.

5.  Are you sure your answer is correct?  If not, wait a day or so.
    If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply
    and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since
    nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI
    CD-ROM with a frog?".

6.  Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender
    and to FreeBSD-questions.  Many people on the FreeBSD-questions
    are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to
    by others.  If you take a message which is of general interest off
    the list, you're depriving these people of their information.  Be
    careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with
    hundreds of CCs.  If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc:
    lines appropriately.

7.  Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the
    minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for
    somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what
    you're talking about.

8.  Use some technique to identify which text came from the original
    message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending
    ``> '' to the original message works best. Leaving white space
    after the ``> '' and leave empty lines between your text and the
    original text both make the result more readable.

9.  Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it
    replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where
    each reply comes before the text to which it replies.

10.  Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a
     text such as ``Re: ''. If your mailer doesn't do it
     automatically, you should do it manually.

11.  If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too
     long, inappropriate subject line), please fix it.  In the case of
     an incorrect subject line (such as ``HELP!!??''), change the
     subject line to (say) ``Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was:
     HELP!!??)''. That way other people trying to follow the thread
     will have less difficulty following it.

     In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you
     did it, but try not to be rude.  If you find you can't answer
     without being rude, don't answer.

     If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format,
     just reply to the submitter, not to the list.  You can just send
     him this message in reply, if you like.

Subject: "The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
Message-ID: <20080502170201.167B51065678@hub.freebsd.org>

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF
form.  Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to
download the entire book.  See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ 
for more information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?
Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be
able to help

Hi Ruel,

Can you please verify that:
1. Internet is accessible. Try:
ftp ftp.iasi.roedu.net

2. Your ports tree is up to date. 

After this is done, remove the directory /usr/ports/distfiles/KDE/ .

Then do:

cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/
make fetch

If this still results in an error, try this instead of "make fetch":
make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/ fetch
or
make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/X11/gui/Qt/source/ fetch

These are mirrors taken from /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.siteis.mk . Search for MASTER_SITE_QT in that file.

I ran through portupgrade on both systems twice but
I can't recall if mysql was updated. Given the change
is in /etc/rc.conf, the upgrade shouldn't have an impact.
If an upgrade uses a supplied script to alter the installation
I'd presume it would be an issue. Usually you can provide
these directories as command line options on scripts
provided with mysql.

The saving grace is that since you are not hurting your
original installation, a trial run is rather simple, falling back
is as pretty much a vi /etc/rc.conf and a reboot.

How do I change the the values?  Also, where do the files go by default?

Would help to know, at minimum:
- ammount of ram
- ammount of cpu's
- platform (uname -m )
- pciconf -lv|grep ^none
- dmesg output that complains about hardware
- what's different about your kernel with respect to GENERIC

What the problems are:
- from the sysctl variables, I'm guessing you want more network performance
- you mention core dumps, does the kernel crash?

Some background:
- what's the primary purpose of the machine
- why are things like ipc tuned?


> kern.maxfilesperproc=65536

The above will only work with programs that use open(2) exclusively and not 
fopen, because fopen is limited to SHRT_MAX, being 32767.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.

Something went wrong earlier on, and portupgrade screwed up. It tried to 
upgrade png, got as far as uninstalling it, failed to install it and then 
failed to restore the backup and for some reason also thinks that rrdtool 
does not depend on graphics/png, while it does, unconditionally.
Best thing to do when you see pkgdb mentioning "stale dependencies" is hit 
ctrl-c hard, fast and often. Then scroll up to see what it did wrong and try 
to figure out how to correct it's mess.

What is at present the png version installed on your system and could you show 
the output of:
grep 'DEPORIGIN: graphics/png' /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS

There is one thing that IPFW has that PF does not that I have found
to be very handy at times. It can be used to setup firewall rules
that only affect a specific group or user.

PF can do this too.
There were threading/locking/crashing issues when last I tried to use
that feature of PF back in FreeBSD 5.x, but that was a very long time
ago.

Sorry about all of the e-mails.  I remembered that I was having issues 
with apache and the php5 module.  I have deinstalled php5 and apache 
runs fine.  However, even with the latest ports tree with apache13 and 
php5 module rebuilt, apache crashes.  I had this same exact behavior on 
a test box, but I don't see other complaints in the archives.  Am I the 
only one running apache13 with the php5 module installed?  Also, this 
works fine on my 6.3-RELEASE production server (however, it is not 
upgraded to the latest version).

Thanks,
Chris Maness

It reveals nothing but so far so good. Everything seems to work so I am 
not going to worry about it. I just don't remember. I may have installed 
then uninstalled png at some point but no idea if I did. I have actually 
started to run a journal of everything being done to the server - it 
should help in future!

how to prevent logger working for non-root?
it allows any user log anything it likes.

i can change permission for /var/run/syslogd.socket but many different 
programs running as different users logs through this.

any smart method?

Not if you set:

in /etc/rc.conf

Message-ID: <92db61c20805030321x7b943088x6bc79933e4e3bd7d@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have tried searching the archives and in vain. Hence i am posting to this
group. If this not the right one, pls direct me.

I am using FreeBSD 6.1. Initially i was able to create socket, bind it and
do all sorts of things. But when i tried now, it isn't working. I am trying
after a long gap. The errno is 49 - invalid address.
I used gethostbyname and it returns whatever is there in /etc/hosts. I have
checked the /etc/resolv.conf. My config details are

/etc/rc.conf

hostname="Balaji"

/etc/hosts

192.168.1.1 Balaji
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

/etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 192.168.1.1

I tried setting Balaji to 0.0.0.0, still it doesn't work. Pls help me.

Also, when my system boots, couple of eye-catchy messages

syslogd: can't bind address

sm_mta[root]:syserror : can't assign address // i hope this is wrt mail/smtp

My suspect is that, the error happens after my system was shutdown
improperly(sudden power off and my laptop battery isn't working, and
ofcourse i am freebsd on my toshiba tera laptop - P4).
I have done fdisk to ensure my disk is clean.

Thanks,
Balaji.

That's actually because those are backup copies of system shared libraries
(probably from the compat5x port) which have the system immutable bit
set on them.

Use 'ls -lo' to see what flags are set.

Use 'chflags -0 filename' to unset any flags: note your ability to do
this depends on the kern.securelevel setting.  If 'sysctl kern.securelevel'
returns greater than zero, then you'll need to reboot into single user in
order to modify those files.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

one CPU).  It has been suggested that it is an IRQ conflict (or something 
else related to APIC).  

Could someone please point me in the right direction so that I could try fix 
this problem (i.e. how to change the IRQ of the ATA drivers or where to 
fiddle with APIC to try get it to work?)

Thanks in advance

Subject: [CRON] Recommended FTP client to download and upload files?
Message-ID: <9huo14p9l84vmr124kh8j8sjdgerh655cu@4ax.com>

Hello

	I need to run a CRON job to download files from one FTP server if
they're more recent, and upload them to another FTP server. The files
all live in one directory, so there's no need for recursion.

What command-line FTP client would you recommend for this?

Thank you.

Hello

I have some newbie questions:

1. Am I right in understanding that running "make ; make install" in
/usr/ports/ turns the port into a package, so that when I run
"pkg_info", it doesn't make any difference whether a package was
downloaded directly from the Net or compiled locally through the Ports
collection?

2. When I run "pkg_version -v", some of the packages are out of date.
Generally speaking, what is the safe way to update a package? I'm
worried about compiling a new version of a ports that will break the
one I already have up and running.

3. Do I really need to run both "csup standard-supfile ; csup
ports-supfile" to update my ports collection? What's the difference
between the two?

Thank you.

When you compile a port, a package is created and installed (but you get 
to select the options. Pre-built packages have the default options and 
are usually older versions). In fact, you can even use the ports to 
create packages and install them on other systems. (See man ports)

There are programs to automate and safeguard the upgrade. Look at 
ports-mgmt/portupgrade

No. You just need the ports-supfile. The standard supfile is for the 
base system. Assuming you are running a -RELEASE version of FreeBSD and 
you just want to get the latest security fixes and patches for the base 
system, you only need to use the freebsd-update utility. It is as simple 
as this:

freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install

Let's see what options we have...
a) rm -rf /usr/bin/logger
b) echo 'echo I am a bad boy;rm -rf $HOME' > /usr/bin/logger
c) create group 'syslog'
   add good users to it

Roberto,

  You can't simulate a disk drive failure that way.  If
you really want to know what's going on, the issue is that
your pointing the swap to ar0.  If you must get this
booted again you can try booting into single user mode
and editing /etc/fstab and pointing the partitions to
/dev/ad0 instead of /dev/ar0 and booting.  But this is
an emergency action and is not recommended.

  If you want to simulate a drive failure, WHILE THE
SYSTEM IS RUNNING pull the SATA connector on one drive.

  The system should NOT trap, it should simply print a
error to the console and show it's gone into degraded mode.

  If you then reboot, the system may or may not come back up.

  You have to understand the approach of RAID mirroring.  Basically
this is poor-man's data protection.  The idea is that a disk 
usually fails in the middle of the day during the worst possible
time.  When it does you do NOT want the server to stop or
crash.  You want it to keep running until the evening when you
can spend a couple hours getting the disk replaced.  (or until
the next day when you can buy a replacement drive)

  When you have the replacement disk ready to plug into the
system, you are supposed to run a full backup of your data
on the degraded array just in case the reinsertion goes badly.

  I have found the safest is to leave the server alone and
get the replacement disk ready.  Wiping it in another system
with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=50k is the best policy
before reinsertion.

  Follow the steps in the man page for reinsertion.  Keep in
mind that they don't always work.  If they don't then you will
have to wipe both disks and regenerate the array and reinstall
the OS.  That is why you make a backup first when the system is
off-duty.

Ted

lftp in ports.

It is very scriptable and has built in facilities to only copy "newer"  
files.

Message-ID: <20080503173510.GA12768@shepherd>

Hi.  I'm running FreeBSD 6.1.  I have never had a problem with portmanager until today.  I was trying to update amavisd-new.  When I issued the upgrade command, portmanager started to update perl5.8.  Everything was going fine until I realized it was looping.  After the "3rd strike," I was told to look at the log.  I am not able to glean much in the way of solutions, so hoping someone with a similar experience can help.  I did see prior threads about the looping problem but I am still unable to update perl.

What version of portmanager are you running? The last one is '0.4.1.9' I
believe. It might have been nice if you had also posted any pertinent
portions of the log file also. There was a looping problem in a very
old version of portmanager; however, supposedly it had been corrected.
Portmanager will not update itself if I remember correctly. I believe
you have to do it manually.

I might suggest the following.

Assuming you have the latest version of portmanager:

1) Update your ports tree
2) Clean out '/usr/ports/distfiles'
   Not really necessary; however, it cannot hurt.
3) If available, run: portsclean -CDLP
4) Run: portmanager -u -p -y -l

Good Luck!

Will try this, though I am a bit reluctant to do an all-out update of 
everything!  For what it's worth, I had a perl module installed via CPAN (instead of the ports tree, because the port does not exist), about which portmanager seems to complain.  The port was for Net-DNS-Async.  portmanager asks me to pkg_delete and re-install.  I will try that and perhaps perl will then build/update properly.

It doesn't even get to that point.. it panics before giving
me the shell for single user mode.. I even made a few tests
trying to comment out the swap in fstab, but that didn't help.

but it doesn't matter.. I solved the problem by removing
and then readding the disk from the raid in the bios.
One up again had to rebuild the raid in the OS.. and
that was it..

For sure that makes for a real test.. but..
Are you sure that that will not fry up the mainboard or the drive?

Thank you very much for these instructions. Luckly I'm not familiar
with failing drives! :)

What man page?


Again Thank you very much.

Subject: wine: app won't install from floppy
Message-ID: <481cd29a.tpRIhFQiGHIJiBOm%perryh@pluto.rain.com>

What is the correct way of installing something into wine from
floppy?  The obvious approach:

  $ wine 'a:\setup.exe'

did not work with a (fairly old version of) Visio:  the option
dialogs seemed to work properly, but very shortly after starting
the actual install I got an error box:


                             VISIO Setup

   ! Tried to create an invalid path using 'A:\' and 'clipart.vs_'


It somehow locked out CtrlAltF1 so I could not switch to a text
screen, but AltTab did bring up FVWM's window list (thus making
it possible to transcribe the error message into an xterm that
was not related to the wine session).

After clicking OK I got an info box:


                             Visio Setup

                           i Setup failed.


and it quit when I clicked OK there.

Comparing the contents of .wine before/after the attempt, it seems
the only change involves the font entries in the registry:

  $ diff -r wineBak .wine
  diff -r wineBak/system.reg .wine/system.reg
  9082c9082
  < [Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Fonts] 1208923638

  > [Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Fonts] 1209616619

  < [Software\\Wine\\Fonts\\External Fonts] 1208923638
  ---
  > [Software\\Wine\\Fonts\\External Fonts] 1209616619

and of course I have no clue whether this makes any difference to
anything.

Would help to know, at minimum:
- ammount of ram
- ammount of cpu's
- platform (uname -m )
- pciconf -lv|grep ^none
- dmesg output that complains about hardware
- what's different about your kernel with respect to GENERIC

What the problems are:
- from the sysctl variables, I'm guessing you want more network performance
- you mention core dumps, does the kernel crash?

Some background:
- what's the primary purpose of the machine
- why are things like ipc tuned?


> kern.maxfilesperproc=65536

The above will only work with programs that use open(2) exclusively and not
fopen, because fopen is limited to SHRT_MAX, being 32767.

I'll bet its interrupt routing more than IRQ conflicts (which these
days on a modern system really doesn't make sense).  More than likely
there is some funkiness going on with the BIOS's ACPI tables (I would
start with the MADT and verify its entries look kosher).

Though it could be a power management problem and have nothing to do
with interrupts (though with the SATA hard drives not being detected I
would guess its interrupts).

I would read this:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html

I would definitely set ACPI_DEBUG=1 and go from there.  Perhaps if you
can start dumping the AML on your system (acpidump) and any messages
you get on the console (dmesg etc.) you can post them here.  Also let
us know what kind of BIOS options you have revolving ACPI, power
management, and any legacy settings (e.g. MPS Table options if any).

Without more information its hard to say what exactly is your problem
other than disabling ACPI kinda fixes it.

Also, PLEASE CHECK GIGABYTE's motherboard web page for any BIOS
updates that have been released.  Typically BIOS updates fix these
kinds of problems.

Subject: Installing PERL modules from CPAN (instead of ports)
Message-ID: <20080503232156.GB13074@shepherd>

In order to setup postfwd (http://postfwd.org), of which there is no FreeBSD 
port, several PERL modules are required; one of them, Net::DNS::Async, also 
does not exist as a FreeBSD port.  If I install this via CPAN, postfwd works, 
but then this breaks portupgrade and portmanager when trying to update perl 
or keep track of new versions of the bsdpan-* "packages".  Is there another 
way to go about this outside of trying to create my own postfwd and 
Net::DNS::Async ports?

Really, we should submit this and a few others back to 5.8.9

Its really annoying in a when working in a mod_perl related world
to not have perl compile out of the box.

Changing the install paths is one thing....

This is a 64-bit platform... Any reasons you're on an i386 kernel? At  
the least it would fix your RAM issue.

Subject: Trouble with pfsense and NFS
Message-ID: <8d954c40805032234j52a2f8adh6733f2baf8d2c3e6@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everybody!!

I got a problem with pfsense, i expect to you can help me.

I have replaced my Openbsd box with pfsense.

The pfsense settings are the next: one interface have internet, the
other have the lan, and the last have dmz with only one server which
one have FBSD 5.4, and serve NIS and NFS.

My problem is between my linux clients (wich ones have a nfsv3) and
the server, the pfsense is blocking the nfs traffic.

I tested pfctl -d and clients works perfect, but when i activated pf,
nfs is getting down. The result is the same when i load a pf.conf with
no rules.


I deactived the menu options:

Clear DF bit instead of dropping
Disable Firewall Scrub

but the problem continue.

What can i do?, and where are the rules?

Have you tried asking on the pfSense mailing list?  They might be more 
receptive.

this should go to the pfsense list,  not the FreeBSD list

Subject: Variable arg function question
Message-ID: <336540.36159.qm@web57014.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

Hi all

I need to implement a variable argument function in C.
The number of args are not known but the type is
known, all are strings.

Unfortunately va_arg() [stdarg(3)] does not return
NULL or any other suitable value after processing the
arg list, it just simply crashes once the arg list is
exhausted.

It seems there is no way to know the number of args
inside the called function.

How do you guys implement variable arg function such
as f(str1, str2, str3, ..., strN)?

Sorry for the sightly off topic question, the only
relevance is I'm programming this app on FreeBSD 7.0
:)

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards
Unga

It is _your_ task to properly close the argument list. E.g. by supplying
a NULL pointer as the last argument.

Not with stdarg.

you could use the same format as main: int foo(int num, char **args)

Subject: server (partly) fails: hardware?
Message-ID: <d8186b9e0a344438d027560aa1121dfa@localhost>


Hi all,

I have FreeBSD installed on a ~6 year old IBM NetVista box; it serves a
headless gateway/server/WAP for my home network. I upgraded it from v6 to
v7 in mid January, building a custom kernel with altq and the new
scheduler. It has been running fine since early December. 

However, three times during the past few days, it has stop functioning. The
WAN connection dies and I can no longer ssh into the box. However, I can
still ping it, and I can still ssh from one LAN client to another via the
FreeBSD box.

IOW, it seems to be dying, but not freezing, if that makes any sense. Alas,
there is nothing in /var/messages to indicate what happens. I don't think
it is succumbing to excessive load; it has a 1.6 MHz Pentium IV, 512 MB
RAM, rarely uses swap, and the load averages tend to be very light. 

At this point, I assume a hardware issue, and I can have the box tested by
a local whitebox shop later this week, but I am open to other avenues to
purse as well.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Can you predict at what point the server will crash? Is it after performing
a specific action, or at a certain time of day?

If you can connect a monitor to the server and actually see what happens and
also if it still accepts keystrokes and stuff, that would probably help in
diagnosing the problem.

Another tip might be to download memtest86 and run it for a while on the
machine, in order to make sure the memory is working correctly. You're
saying the machine has been running stable for a while, but it's nice to get
things like this out of the way so you at least know what isn't wrong.

Infact, I have implemented it in this way. I was
wondering if there is a better way. The issue I see
is, if someone forget to close the arg list with NULL
pointer, it crashes.

This is interesting. Who set the num? The compiler or
the user. If it is the user, its no better than above
NULL pointer method.

If this is possible, my problem is solved:
f(str1, str2, str3, ..., strN) is at compile time
expands to _f(int num, str1, str2, str3, ..., strN).

The num is set automatically by the compiler by
counting the args.

Is this possible?

Not really within the bounds of the C language.

You could write a custom preporcessor that translates f calls into calls
for _f.

Why is it in your opinion so hard to count the number of arguments
*before* you call the function, in other words, what in your program
prevents this count?

"wine wordpad" still works though. It's in /usr/local/lib/wine.

Were there any messages printed in the terminal window?
What version of Visio is this?

You might also want to try on a Linux system if you have that
somewhere, just to see if it works there.

Also, you should really take this to the wine-users@winehq.org
mailing list. The people there should know more about this than
here on a FreeBSD mailing list.

What about using a macro (...) in front of the function to csll it  
which passes __VARARGS__, NULL to ensure there is always a trailing  
NULL? I think this would at least work in GCC... Can' test on my phone  
though.

Typically, a segfault from gcc indicates failing hardware, the most
likely culprit being the RAM. Test the RAM with memtest86
(http://memtest86.com/download.html) to rule it out.

That's a good idea. If one uses __VA_ARGS__ instead of __VARARGS__, it
should work with any C99 compliant compiler, including gcc.

The good thing about variadic macros in C99[1] is that you don't need a
first argument.

I gave it a try, but I cannot get it to work:
(As per above wikipedia example)

void realdprintf (char const *file, int line, char
const *fmt, ...); 
#define dprintf(...) realdprintf(__FILE__, __LINE__,
__VA_ARGS__)

To solve my problem, I must be able to indicate the
end of the arg list, may be by a empty string (""),
but GNU C compiler does not allow to specify anything
after the ... .

How do I specify end of arg list? or is that the way?

Try something like what Patrick suggested:

Try to request help on perl@FreeBSD.org (cc'ed). Perl ports are
usually very easy to create and maintain, so if you don't want to
spend 30 minutes learning, someone with enough experience can
probably do it in a couple of minutes if you ask nicely :)

Yes, making a new port is the easiest way to install something
from CPAN.

I did not mean to imply I was unwilling to create the port; was just curious 
about how to not "break" the existing setup when installing modules outside 
of the ports tree.  Someone replied off-list suggesting I install to a 
~/local dir and set $PERL5LIB to take that directory into account.

I do prefer to keep everything organized in ports, so I created my first port:

Let's hope I didn't totally mess it up. :-)

disk I/O hangs while everything else works.
check with smartmontools if your disk report problems, if not - check 
cables.

FreeBSD runs fine on pentium 90 with 16MB RAM (with slightly cutdown 
kernel), without changes on 32.

Message-ID: <20080504145236.Q24925@fledge.watson.org>

I need to make a custom 4.X CD-ROM. I think my problem is finind a correct boot 
image. The only image I can find either on systems that need upgrading or via 
cvs /boot/cdboot is 1184 bytes. Shouldn't this be 1200 bytes?

I have made a CD using the 4.X /boot/cdboot and one using a later version that 
is 1200 bytes. Neither works. My question: is the 1184 byte boot image okay?

thanks for any thoughts

Probably the most confusing thing for someone new to the ports system is:
- that a port that gets installed is referred to as a package
- that a tarball containing the compiled files to install a port is also 
called a package.

When you compile and install a port, a tarball is NOT created. The 'make 
package' target will do this for you.

Also, pre-built packages from FreeBSD-servers have the default options, or 
more to the point the options that are set by the PACKAGE_BUILDING switch in 
the port's Makefile if present.
But since you can make your own packages, it is perfectly ok to use a 
build 'server' and upgrade 'client' machines using your own packages and your 
own options.

Wow, maybe there is hope for the old 33 MHz 486SX Thinkpad I have in my
closet. IIRC, it has a whopping 32MB. It may be slow but it is built like a
tank.

OK, I am connecting a serial cable and will monitor the FreeBSD box from my
Linux desktop. But what should I be looking for?

On a semi-related note, I have been thinking of popping a SATA card and and
big SATA drive in this box and removing the 30 GB IDE drive. Is there any
reason why it shouldn't be possible to boot directly from the SATA drive
given that SATA is not on the motherboard? 

Thanks.

Subject: k3b problem with DVD
Message-ID: <20080504212651.1ea195a3@brain>

Hello,

For long  I use k3b with great satisfaction.
On a recent new system however it has serious problem with handling
DVD-s. While it works with CD-s, as soon as DVD disc is placed into the
drive it starts to emit error messages[1].  From this on (and even
after  stopping/killing it ) the system displays an extreme high
interrupt activity (~50%) while CPU usage remains low. Ejecting the
disc has no effect on k3b it no longer works even with CD-s. If the DVD
is put before k3b start, k3b does not start for a long time (~ 15
minutes), then reports no proble with system configuration, show dvd
device info on console, but can't handle the DVD disc.

Mounting of DVDs by hal/thunar-volman/dbus/policykit works. I can play
the dvd with mplayer, too.

My system is:
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #5
k3b-1.0.4_1
The PIO device's firmware was upgraded to he latest with no effect.

Excerpt from dmesg:
acd0: DVDR <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-215D/1.18> at ata4-master SATA150

Subject: Trying to start/stop nginx via rc.d/nginx
Message-ID: <DC9E21D5-687B-4FD6-A73E-887E0ED54CD9@gmail.com>

I'm pretty new to FreeBSD and nginx. The problem I am having is that  
when I try to start or stop nginx from /usr/local/rc.d/nginx nothing  
happens.

Here's the output from "uname -a" :

FreeBSD wilco. 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52  
UTC 2008     root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC   
i386

I've installed nginx via ports and it created the file /usr/local/etc/ 
rc.d/nginx.  If I enter "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx" at the command  
line I get:

Usage: etc/rc.d/nginx [fast|force|one](start|stop|restart|rcvar| 
configtest|reload|status|poll)

But if I type "sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx start" nothing happens.  
I don't get an error and there is nothing in /var/log/nginx-error.log.  
I can start nginx by entering "sudo /usr/local/sbin/nginx" and I  
verify this with "ps -ax | grep nginx":

  1147  ??  Ss     0:00.00 nginx: master process /usr/local/sbin/nginx
  1148  ??  S      0:00.00 nginx: worker process (nginx)

Here are the file permissions for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx (which is  
identical to /usr/local/sbin/nginx):

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  932 May  3 11:47 etc/rc.d/nginx

Please let me know if I need to provide any more information and thank  
in advance for your help.

Best.
Mike

You need to add nginx_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf.

This might not be caused by mod_php5 as such, but by some PHP  
extension(s). I have seen cases where even the order in which  
extensions are loaded in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini is  
significant. Have them in one order and you get coredumps. Move one  
extension from top to bottom - no more coredumps. This is one of the  
great mysteries of the nature. Happy experimenting :)

I tried that one too a while back.  I rotated all of them from the 
bottom to the top, and it did not cure the problem.

It seems to work fine in a clean install of RELEASE-7.0, so the issue 
seems to be in the upgrading process.  I will install a clean version of 
RLEASE-6.3 get it running and upgrade it, so I provide an e-mail 
detailing how to reproduce the problem.  I have too much work in my 6.3 
server to re configure it from scratch, so I am really counting on 
finding the root of this problem so that I can upgrade my production 
server.  Thanks for all of the help.

Sorry, guys.  I spoke too soon.  It is crashing on the fresh install as 
well.  I just rebooted, and the same situation occurs, httpd core dumps 
instantly.  (with php5 module installed)  The only other thing I did 
begin installing squirrel mail.  I have a virtual installation that I 
will try it on too.  This is the third instance of apache13 port 
crashing with the php5 built with the module.  I did nothing to 
httpd.conf except add  a virtual host.  I checked this with apachectl 
checkconfig and it was fine.  After it started crashing, I removed the 
vhost and it was still crashing.

Thanks,

No.

3.0.  Long before M$ took it over, so it should be just a generic
Win32 app with no secret M$ tricks.

If I had a Linux system set up, I'd have tried this there in the
first place.

I suppose I can try it, but I wonder how much interest there will
be on a wine list in supporting FreeBSD.  At a minimum I suppose
they'll want to know if it still breaks on the latest wine version,
and I'll have no way to find out since the FreeBSD port doesn't
support the latest wine version.

In any case, it seems FreeBSD should not be allowing a port -- any
port -- to lock out CtrlAltF1.

Along with yet another notepad, this one twice the size of the ones
in .../windows and .../windows/system32!  The obvious followup is
which one actually gets used if someone runs "wine notepad", but
I doubt it's worth looking into.

I found myself in an identical position and did the same thing  
(created a port for the first time) for Lchown.

I suspect that now that I've overcome the initial barrier, I will be  
submitting more ports.  And I might even remember to attach the .shar

It is a problem with php extension "extension=mhash.so."  If I remove it 
from extensions.ini it works.  However, there does not seem to be order 
of arrangement that restores sanity.  I believe I need mhash for 
squirrelmail.

Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been getting the errors too, whenever I reboot the machine, I find them 
in the logs.  I don't burn CD's on the machine so I don't know if I could.  I 
normally do that on another machine that runs Linux.

do you use only ports or only packages or a mixture?
do you upgrade from version to version using freebsd tools or do it
manually?
do you have a different approach regarding the above depending on
whether it is for a server or a desktop?

Some uses just ports...while others use packages only if they exist in
the first
place or they cross compiled.

Hell, a lot of people use both ports and packages.

The reasons vary and it is not restrictive to pick either one.

> do you upgrade from version to version using freebsd tools or do it
> manually?

Manually is the traditional way.  The freebsd tools (if you meant the
binary
upgrade method) is just a new way.  Few are switching over as the time
progresses.  There are some in the production environment that prefer
using binary upgrades as it will provide lower downtimes.


> do you have a different approach regarding the above depending on

Yes, avoid GUI stuff when using server or vice verse.  That's just one
example out of millions of examples.

>

The way it should work:

You find out what you want your FreeBSD computer to do, you look into
the available
documentations on how to do it.  Not the other way around.

You will probably get too many different views - it is a flexible system 
after all.
For example, I rarely mix ports and packages. On my small home server 
(which also doubles as a workstation for light use) everything is 
compiled from ports. This includes openoffice.org which took more than a 
day to download and compile. I doubt I'll ever upgrade it the same way...
On this machine I am using the XFCE desktop, which I start manually from 
the command line when used as a desktop. But on a real dedicated 
desktop, I would use Gnome (or KDE).
As for versions, I always run -RELEASE. I would go to STABLE if I 
desperately needed a feature not present in RELEASE, but this hasn't 
happened yet. I am using freebsd-update to get security updates / 
patches and then recompile my kernel when needed. I also used 
freebsd-update to get to 7.0-RELEASE from 7.0-RC1.  Quite painless.

For desktop machines, especially when I need to get them up and running 
quickly, I use packages. You can either use the stable packages from the 
site (by setting the PACKAGESITE env variable) or use another machine to 
compile your own (have a look at http://tinderbox.marcuscom.com/ ). I 
almost never use the CD packages (except maybe for demonstration 
purposes) since they get outdated really quickly.

mixed, and don't upgrade frequently. it's not windows, if it works - don't

You can use the SSH key then change it for security reasons.
For directories is working fine, I never tried on the e-mail spool thou.

Subject: rsync as root for mail servers?

I plan on cutting over a server to new hardware, and I was wondering if 
I can add cert based login for root (how do I do this)?  This is so that

I can use rsync as root to sync the mail spool and home directories.  
Will this work?  I am using sendmail and wu-imapd.

Thanks,

Subject: What is CPP's real default include path?
Message-ID: <p0624082bc4446e99d142@[10.0.0.10]>

I've been fiddling with compiling nzbget-0.4.0 on a 6.3 system.
My initial efforts failed the configuration process for not
finding iconv.h. This, despite /usr/local/include/iconv.h being
present and supposedly in the include search path if the info
documentation can be believed.

Just to see if I could learn something, I copied the
/usr/local/include/iconv.h to /usr/include/ and tried again.
After this, the configuration process completed and the
application seemed to "make" and "make install" just fine.

Is there some way to ascertain what the set of default include
paths actually is?

If you have an ATAPI burner you can easily burn CDs from the command 
line using mkisofs to generate a disc image and then the "burncd" 
utility that comes with even a basic install of FreeBSD. See below for 
the most simple example:

mkisofs -o nameofimage.iso pathtofile
burncd -f /dev/acd0 data pathtofile nameoffile.iso fixate

Of course, that still doesn't answer our question.

Is there something odd going on in your package database? Have you tried
a 

#pkgdb -F     ?

version to version of what? Of kernel and world, in my workhorse laptop, i do source upgrades and roll my own kernel.
For some servers and VM which are fairly generic and don't need much tweaking, i just run generic or SMP and use freebsd-update. I've used freebsd-update to upgrade VMs from 6.x to 7.x works GREAT (thanks Collin!)

Even though cc has a million options, there's none that I know that prints the 
system include path (not even in -dumpspecs). However, in practice you can 
assume it's /usr/include.

To make configure scripts believe you have something installed, it's not a 
good idea to copy headers.
Look for a --with-iconv=/usr/local option and failing that, change CFLAGS and 
LDFLAGS in the environment when configuring.

I am risking stating the obvious here, but you HAVE rebuilt everything related
to mhash (including security/mhash), right? 

I have just installed security/php5-mhash from scratch and it loads without any

extensions...

It will soon be the ninth anniversary of my union with FreeBSD. I have 
been pleased of it, all the time.

I use FreeBSD in the `desktop' setting, I do a lot of TeX, programming, 
and scientific computing.
In my own views, I segregate applications in three groups:
  -- the zombie group, consisting of applications I rarely use, and do 
not care to keep up to date (almost everything);
  -- the living group, consisting of applications I use often but 
moderately care to keep up to date (Emacs and seamonkey);
  -- the hot group, consisting of applications I am very interested in 
(e.g. some libraries I use in my programs).

I do not care to update the zombie group.
I will maybe consider updating ports in the living group, either for 
security reasons or for some new functionnality I heard of and I really 
want to have.
It is not unlikely I update ports in the hot group every time there is a 
new major release is available.

I do the base install from packages, and use portupgrade for updating my 
software, after I have read /usr/ports/UPDATING.

My primary goal is having a working system for a minimal maintenance 
cost, the way I do works pretty well for me; but some others may have 
better ways to deal with this.

in my view there is no "desktop" setting or "server" setting. the only 
difference is if your display and keyboard are directly connected or not.

you simply install programs you need.

I use ports 99% of the time.  If only use the packages if I need something up

manually.

I don't bother with a GUI for a server and I still stick with my 99% ports.  
For my home desktop I use KDE which I start from the console. It's dual 
booted with XP atm since I can't make WoW play through FreeBSD. :P

Hello,

 > doing similar way. with old rule - if it works, don't touch.

This got me interested. So basically for a server, you don't do any 
upgrades unless there are security issues to solve or new features that 
you need?

It seems to me that sometimes if you have waited with an upgrade for too 
long, it is more difficult to upgrade than it would have been if you had 
followed all small updates which appeared along the way...

Thanks!

I think you have to differentiate between updates and upgrades. I  
consider an upgrade moving from one release to another (say from 6.2  
to 6.3), while security patches are updates.

I always run updates, but I don't always follow upgrades. Recently I  
upgraded one older machine from 5.5 to 6.2 (en even more recent to 6.3).

Follow the instructions for setting up ssh keys (there are dozens of
howtos all over the 'net) then tweak /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow
root login (the config paramter is pretty obvious).  Ensure that you
either have a very strong root password, or that password auth for
root is disabled first.

Then, rsync you stuff using ssh as the connection mechanism (there's
a command line switch for this in rsync, don't remember the details)

Once you've got things rsynced the first time (while running) shut
down all the services on the active machine and rsync again.  This
second rsync should be very fast so you'll have little downtime.

Giving up on it for the moment I guess. I don't really need the ifHC*
counters right now and I don't think I understand how MIBs work fully
yet and it's gonna take a lot of reading. I checked though and the
ifHC* counters are in the IF-MIB.txt file so I don't quite get why
it's not showing up on a snmpwalk.

Visio 3.0 was still 16bit apparently. What you could try is to set
the Windows version in winecfg (bottom of applications tab) to
Windows 95 or even Windows 3.1.

It's just that they know more about debugging such problems and
figuring out if it's Wine or a FreeBSD problem.

The latest version is in ports by the way, wine 0.9.61.

It's not and fc (port) issue, it's rather kernel's one
(linux.osrelease 2.4.2 vs 2.6.16 emulation). The default is 2.4.2 even
for CURRENT (but mat change soon). And when the default
linux.osrelease is changed at CURRENT some time will pass before
something like f8 (or even f9) may become a default linux emulation
port.

FreeBSD doesn't have 64-bit linux emulation, it's 32-bit for now.
And afaik no one is working on it.

I'm trying to get it to work in a 32-Bit Jail. I ain't there yet, though. It 
seems parts of the code for dynamicilly loading 32bit libraries is broken. 
Should I succeed I will create a Wiki article, containing patches and a howto 
to set things up. And of course the ports@ list would get informed.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!  I'll never turn!  I've been
quite happily, actually, moving my installed base of systems in the
other direction.  (I thought I'd get a more serious response from the
fbsd higher-ups, Wojciech).

Seriously, though, I thought someone might have installed wine on
32-bit linux emualtion on amd64.  All the other linux apps run so
well, I thought it was worth a try, didn't know I'd be the guinea pig,
but hey, makes me feel special.

The speed of my kqemu installation leaves something to be desired.  I
thought I'd give wine a shot.

Admonition understood - I was just experimenting and wanted the
file to be in a specific place without any uncertainty about
just what various "look over there" options actually do. The
reason for such a mind set is that actual behavior of cpp seems
to differ from its documentation, to wit:

  info cpp :: Header Files::Search Path reads:

  GCC looks in several different places for headers.  On a normal Unix
  system, if you do not instruct it otherwise, it will look for headers
  requested with `#include <FILE>' in:

     /usr/local/include
     LIBDIR/gcc/TARGET/VERSION/include
     /usr/TARGET/include
     /usr/include

I'm either missing something very fundamental (which I doubt
not at all) or this should be a somewhat serious problem. There
are 4944 header files in /usr/local/include/ branch on this
system that should be accessible by default but, if my
experience with nzbget is any guide, do not seem to be.

I've had the same problem with my G5. When I disabled moused it went away.
Edit /etc/devd.conf and search for ums, then comment out (or delete) the 
entire section. Then edit xorg.conf, go to the mouse section and change 
the Device to /dev/ums0 and Protocol to auto. Moreover, you may need to 
put a line that modifies the button numbers of the mouse (xmodmap -e 
does that) in your .xsession or .xinitrc.

I bumped into the description of the -v flag whilst perusing
the cpp info docs and did this ... after removing the ersatz
/usr/include/iconv.h mentioned above. Apparently these paths are
compiled in (???).

This is most likely a naming issue. Use ftp and manually cd to the above

Also because of the libraries involved you may not be able to do 'make install' 
while xorg is running. Personally I subscribe to using the package because of 
the length of time to build.

yes this is serious. there are very few things that doesn't exist for unix

Everything apart from the Kernel is 32-Bit. This is what I'd call a 32-Bit Jail.

I looked into this when doing some work on Wine about a year ago:

* Wine doesn't work under the Linux compat layer because of
  differences between Linux and FreeBSD mmap(2) and because the
  implementation of the set_thread_area syscall is too simplistic.

* Wine doesn't work on FreeBSD/amd64 because the kernel doesn't
  preserve the segment registers on context switches.

Also, Wine and all its dependencies (xorg libs etc.) should be
built as 32 bit. Ideally the ports system would provide the
infrastructure for that.

None of this is really difficult to fix but I didn't (and still
don't) have an amd64 system so I moved on to fix other problems.

You said the system works but later on you say you can't see second

My guess is the system still doesn't work right!  :D!

Typically when you disable APIC your in classical 8259 mode which
should work.  I've seen power management screw up a box royally on a
soft reset too but again, not sure that is your problem just yet.

Seems like after a soft reset, ACPI firmware is left in an
inconsistent state (that might be because whatever version of BSD you
are running to bring it up completely properly).

Still not good, sounds like an interrupt routing issue again.  I'm
assuming the drivers load but nothing is detected (that would rule out
any PCI bus hierarchy nastiness).

I'm kinda losing it.  What version of FreeBSD are you using 7.0
RELEASE or top of tree (built from -CURRENT)?  I should have asked
this to begin with (and you should post it in future postings).  My
guess is you are trying a STABLE release (6.3 or 7.0) etc.

If you can dump the AML code (even from Linux) that would be very very
helpful.  Here is a utility that works from DOS:

http://www.programmersheaven.com/download/25319/2/ZipView.aspx

dmesg during an ACPI boot also is needed (again turn on debugging).

Most of the time ACPI problems (from my limited experience) is really
due to "interesting" ACPI table code that can throw off the OS.
Interrupt routing issues tend to be MADT related but I have no idea
what is your specific problem so far.

Subject: lang/php5 fails in apxs
Message-ID: <20080505215810.GA89055@hal.rescomp.berkeley.edu>

Hello,

I stumbled across this behavior roughly a year ago. The php5 port has
the following lines in the pkg-plist:

    %%APACHE%%@exec %D/sbin/apxs -e -a -n %%AP_NAME%% %f
    %%APACHE%%@unexec %D/sbin/apxs -e -A -n %%AP_NAME%% %f

This command reads /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf, looks for
LoadModule lines, appends a LoadModule for php5, and exits. I don't have
any LoadModule lines in my httpd.conf; they've all been separated out
into include files.

The result is the port fails to install:

| apxs:Error: Activation failed for custom
| /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf file..
| apxs:Error: At least one `LoadModule' directive already has to exist..
| pkg_add: command '/usr/local/sbin/apxs -e -a -n php5 libphp5.so' failed
| --->  Removing old package'
| ** Fix the installation problem and try again.

Needless to say, this is annoying. I have to remember to add a
"LoadModule foo foo.so" line to the httpd.conf whenever I upgrade php5,
and remove both it and the PHP LoadModule directive when I'm done.

Why does the port think it's kosher to touch live configuration files? A
lot of people keep their configurations under revision control (and most
probably should). On the next commit on my system, this change is gone
anyways. Does anyone have any decent work arounds? Better yet, is there
any interest in fixing the php5 port so that it doesn't touch
configuration files? At the very least, I'd love a knob to disable the
"feature."

Message-ID: <BAY116-W8C33EA1DE2EC5FB344BDDF4D70@phx.gbl>


I have been using different Linux distributions for some years, and decided to give FreeBSD a try.  The install was successful, but have a question about how the root account is made.  Found that the root folder was created with the user/group privileges root:wheel.  Is not that a kind of security risk?  I know that usually only the account used by the administrator is the one, in addition to root, that belongs to the wheel group.  But also I know that sometimes admins get lazy and give for limited time extra privileges just to allow someone to do something, and that's where the danger can come.  Btw, that's just my opinion.

To give limited priviledges I think sudo (as in linux??) would be used. 
If that does not provide enough security then kerberos could be used.

In general I don't see how you main concern is unique to FreeBSD.

Thanks. I updated the packages I actually need.

Looks like I need to run "make clean" before "make config ; make; make
deinstall ; make reinstall", otherwise make doesn't do anything:

# pkg_version -l
[...]
php5-5.2.5_1                        <   needs updating (port has
5.2.6)
php5-bz2-5.2.5_1                    <   needs updating (port has
5.2.6)
php5-ctype-5.2.5_1                  <   needs updating (port has
5.2.6)
etc.

# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
# make
#

My FreeBSD systems are light weight servers only, so what I do is  
specific to my circumstances and tastes.

I only use ports, but I suppose that if I had some really large things  
to install like OOo, I would consider using packages.

I use csup and will rebuild world and the kernel as needed.  I've got  
a fairly stripped down kernel to improve boot times.  But again, I  
kind of find it "cool" to compile the whole OS.  It may be irrational  
and non-optimal.  That's why I said some of this is a matter of taste  
as well as circumstances.

My choice of when to upgrade the OS really depends on what I need.  I  
don't like to be too far behind.  I recently moved one system for 7.0  
RELEASE to 7 STABLE because of a specific fix that affected one of my  
systems.

I suspect that for a desktop, I would be more tempted to keep closer  
to GENERIC and use packages.  But I only have FreeBSD servers on which  
I don't even run an X11 server.

I concur that sudo is really a very good way of managing privileges.   
I don't even know the root passwords on the systems that I administer  
(OK, I do have them stored in a nice secured place if I ever do need  
them).

Message-ID: <3pev14lvvrlee7tesbqiumliqnfpqm5t53@4ax.com>

Hello

	I succesfully updated the Ports collection, and recompiled PHP5, but
nothing happens when I run "make" to recompile the PHP extensions:

1. cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 ; make clean ; make config ; make ; make
deinstall ; make reinstall

2. pkg_version -v | grep php

php5-5.2.6                          =   up-to-date with port
php5-bz2-5.2.5_1                    <   needs updating (port has
5.2.6)
php5-ctype-5.2.5_1                  <   needs updating (port has
5.2.6)
etc.

3. cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions ; make clean ; make config

[/usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions]# make
[/usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions]# 

Nothing happens :-/ Are the above, outdated packages located
elsewhere?

Thank you.

FWIW, apparently, the solution is to run this:

	portupgrade php5-*

and let it upgrade every package.

I use portmanager.

Only my servers run FreeBSD.

Well, that's just a bit too open-ended isn't it? ;-)

Not sure why it would be a security risk. wheel is the group for people who 
are allowed to su to root, so you should probably expect members of group 
wheel to have (or be able to get) root privs anyway.

I'm not sure whether by ``root folder'' you mean / or /root , but in either 
case the wheel group doesn't have write access, at least on my system,and 
root's umask is 022, so created files aren't writable by members of wheel 
either.

Lazy admins, of course, are a security risk. No-one should ever be given more 
privileges than they need, and as others have pointed out, sudo is a good 
answer to this problem. (In fact the first four ports that go on every box I 
set up, before I even think about what the box is for, are www/lynx, 
sysutils/screen, ports-mgmt/portupgrade and security/sudo ).

The problem was in my packet, after I put some traces in netinet/ip_input.c
I found out my m_pkthdr.len was not properly updated.

I'm getting allot of dependensie problems logged in

I have no idea what is going wrong nor why it is going wrong.
Does anyone have a idea why or what is going wrong and how I can resolf it?

I installed the following:

diff -r1.1 vm_pageout.c

>         }

Which gives:

vm_page_max_wired was 0.  cnt.v_free_count / 3 = 165410
setting vm_page_max_wired to cnt.v_free_count / 2 = 248115

No mlock failures in ~2.5 weeks.
The largest value logged for vm.stats.vm.v_wire_count is 188614.

Hi all,

I have an i386 jail running on an amd64 host that I use to build
packages.  Most packages build fine, however I have a few that fail.
This includes xorg (dri won't build) and mplayer.  In all cases I get an

{standard input}:148: Error: `(%rsi,%rax)' is not a valid 32 bit base/index expression

Any ideas how I can fix this?

There are some tricks you can play. Notably, you need to trick auto*
tools into thinking it's an i386 system. I think setting UNAME_m=i386
does the trick there:

I believe there is something else I'm forgetting that you need to do
to make compilation happy for some ports, but I can't recall them at
the moment.

Of course, things that expect to talk to an i386 kernel aren't going
to work, and you may have issues with things that use hand-written
ASM.

Try setting UNAME_m though and see if it helps. It might also be wise
to set ARCH=i386 and/or TARGET_ARCH=i386 in /etc/ports.conf.

Subject: suggestion on a backup utility
Message-ID: <20080506160602.GA27098@skytracker.ca>

I wonder if anyone can recommend a good backup utility for FreeBSD.
If it's in the ports, great. I would like to just specify which 
directories I would like to backup, how often and have it tar or zip 
the files into a directory - if it has off-site ftp, fine, but I can
do that part myself via crontab.

I realize I could just make a script file with some tar commands,
but I'm looking for something that is quicker to maintain and 
allows me to organize what I'm backing up.

I have been using reoback but recently I ran into some problems
with is duplicating files X 10! - I looked into to solving it but
it might be easier to just try something else.

Subject: [SSHd] Increasing wait time?
Message-ID: <q7412457qoumm8v8dbth10fug2ctbrlfp0@4ax.com>

Hello

I'm a bit tired of people trying to break into SSH:

May  6 16:59:23 freebsd sshd[24649]: Invalid user agatha from
195.43.9.246
May  6 16:59:26 freebsd sshd[24651]: Invalid user cristie from
195.43.9.246
May  6 16:59:29 freebsd sshd[24653]: Invalid user number from
195.43.9.246
May  6 16:59:31 freebsd sshd[24655]: Invalid user chamber from
195.43.9.246
etc.

Is there a way to configure SSHd, so that the wait time between login
attempts increases after X failed tries?

Thank you.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but it seems a bit silly to me to waste
any time backing up something that you can completely duplicate rather quickly
via cvsup, anytime you want, error free.  Maybe you're talking about saving work
directories, something like that?  Must be something I'm not seeing here ....

Not that I know of. You should look into denyhosts (in the ports) it 
works well and even has a RBL feature to block some of these script 
kiddies proactively. Unfortunately, these attempts have become a fact 
of life. I probably get 20 - 30 attempts a day between my various 
servers.

Please do not top post.

There is no reason for a root group. I think best practice is to have each admin 
keep their data in their accounts which are either allocated as name:wheel or 
they are defined as being in the wheel group. I do not know if sudo requires 
wheel membership.

I do not understand the need for a root group. I think security liabilities from 
having a wheel group have long been worked out. What do you see as a problem? Is 
BSD different from linux in this regard? perhaps the latter question is an 
off-list topic.

Depending on how you use ssh from external systems you could add
firewall rules to disallow all but known sources.

flexbackup is pretty decent. i used it for a while before i just went to 
using dump on entire file systems.

I was doing that in the past, but I found it to be inflexable and 
sometimes a pain to deal with. I sometimes need to access a server 
from a new location and that kind of hard lockdown just isn't 
practical. The denyhosts solution works very well for me and the RBH 
feature blocks 9 out of 10 attempts outright.

I used portsentry several years ago which is a realtime portscan 
blocker. It would trigger on this type of ssh portscan for sure. One 
problem is that it blocks using  firewall rules, hosts.deny etc... and 
would have to be actively maintained. Meaning: I cleaned these entries 
once a week. I am not sure it is ported to BSD either.

Message-ID: <4820A2E3.9030500@lists.goldenpath.org>

I didn't realize this before, but it came to my attention when debugging 
PAM problems.
Actually, sshd default does not allow it, but another default is in 
enabling PAM.
It's passing power over to PAM which is allowing it.

I didn't see another way immediately available to fix it, so I disabled 
PAM in sshd. Works as expected now.

Is there a PAM solution for this?

Is this intended to be the default behavior?

It's quite simple if you're using pf:

in your pf.conf:

************
table <blacklist> persist

block in quick on $ext_if proto tcp from <blacklist> to any\
port 22 label "ssh bruteforce"

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to any port ssh flags S/SA \
keep state (max-src-conn 15, max-src-conn-rate 5/40, \
overload <blacklist> flush global)

************

What is does is to check whether more than 15 connections are made from 
the same IP address, or 5 within 40 seconds. If that happens the 
offending IP address is put in a dynamic list called blacklist and gets 
blocked.

Works like charm.

Another option is sshguard (/usr/ports/security/sshguard)

For example, how often do you update your software and when you do, do you run something like 'portupgrade -a' or individually take care of each piece of software?

Another option is to change the port SSH uses to some very unusual  
port.  I do this on all the systems I use and change the port settings  
in ssh.conf and sshd.conf.  This approach works if you don't have lots  
of users using SSH as it does require some sophistication to work with  
it.  Since I have only 3 people who can use SSH it works great for me.

Subject: Writing userspace device drivers
Message-ID: <4820AE1D.2080703@cam.ac.uk>

Hello,

I'm wanting to write a driver for lirc to allow me to transmit IR 
signals via a Global Cach? GC-100.  In essence, this requires me to 
communicate with the GC-100 via TCP in response to ioctls (received?) 
via /dev/lircX.

Can anyone point me in right direction towards achieving this?  Is it 
possible to do everything in userspace?  Under Linux, there appears to 
be something called FUSD, which allows one to write userspace device 
drivers.  Is there anything similar under FreeBSD?

Ideally I'd like to keep the resulting solution as generic as possible, 
so that it can be integrated into lirc, should anyone wish to.

Subject: AAC driver. No kernel error messages for failed raid5?
Message-ID: <4820B502.8000009@smartt.com>

I recently setup a new FreeBSD 7.0 AMD64 server with an IBM ServeRAID-8k 
configured with a raid5 for data and raid1 for OS.

I pulled out one of the raid5 drives to test the functionality and 
noticed that FreeBSD didn't seem to notice the disk failure at all. I 
was expecting kernel messages about it, but got nothing.


This is a bit concerning because I don't look at the server physically 
every day and want to know ASAP if a drive fails.

I tried setting options AAC_DEBUG=1 but that produces a lot of messages 
even during normal use so I'd rather not leave that on.


Is this a bug in the driver, or simply missing functionality?

How about using dump(8)/restore(8).
It will handle all file situations correctly.   
Its main knock is that it can only dump by file systems and
not sub-directories, though you can restore by subdirectory or
individual file.   

It can easily be used in a script too.

Now that you mention it, I also was under impression that the
reverse should be default. I'm no pam expert, but I thought
"nullok" was required in /etc/pam.d/sshd next to pam_unix in
order for empty passwords to work. But there's no "nullok" there
by default and empty passwords still work. Disturbing.

Daily "portupgrade -a" with 1500+ packages installed on my laptop
is more refreshing than reading slashdot with a cup of coffee.
For real opinions look through the recent archives of this list,
your question has come up surprisingly often in the last few
weeks.

I think I'm having problems with a port due to a sub-port having
incorrect configure options.  Anyone know how to find out what those
might have been?  I'm not seeing a standard way to find that out...

This is missing functionality in the aac(4) driver.  For now about
the best you can do is regularly poll the status using Adaptec's CLI
tool "arcconf."

	While it will only dump a file system, you can tell it to
ignore directories/files.  See "chflag" for more info.
	WARNING: choosing poorly, or forgetting you've done this, can
come back to bite you big-time.

Do you mean FUSE?  There is FUSE for FreeBSD.  I have used it with EncFS.

Don't clean the build, then:
make all-depends-list | while read DIR; do
	cd ${DIR}
	configlog=$(make -V WRKSRC)/config.log
	if test -f ${configlog}; then
		echo ${configlog}
	fi
done | xargs ${EDITOR}

Then have fun finding the problem in the logs. Without knowing what to look 
for, that can be tedious.

I concur that sudo is really a very good way of managing privileges.   
I don't even know the root passwords on the systems that I administer  
(OK, I do have them stored in a nice secured place if I ever do need  
them).
 
Cheers,

----------------------------------

In fact, I use sudo for managing too.  My question is not about sudo itself, it's about the possible risks (if any) of having a default installation (FreeBSD7-RELEASE) which assigns ownership of the root folder to root:wheel, thus allowing anyone with wheel privileges be able to see (and copy btw) root folder contents.

If anybody could provide a solid solution, I'd be most grateful.

I have this  box that works as an Internet router and I have two NICs 
in it, 3com 3C996-SX and 3C996-T, the later is bge1 on which I get 
this persistent ERROR below, the first one, bge0 is OK!

The result of this error is blackouts and instability of the Internet 
connections!

hello,

would someone beable to tell me what I have to add to my kernel

Thanks for the pointer.  I did mean FUSD, 
http://www.circlemud.org/~jelson/software/fusd/, although looking at 
FUSE, it may well be that that'll do what I need.

Yeah this also works well. I just shy away from security through 
obscurity. However, I also moved ssh to port 40001 or so and monitored 
SYN packets. I never logged an attempt to log in accept auth'd users. It 
was never port scanned for ssh specific either.

It shouldn't be too hard to patch

  /usr/src/crypto/openssh/sshd.c:server_accept_loop()

by adding code for per-IP truncated binary exponential backoff
algorithm just before forking a child once a connection is
accept(2)ed. It's strange that it hasn't already been done,
being such an obvious and useful addition. ;)

Only projects that specifically request a Perforce branch be exported
to CVSup actually gets exported. This is because it's a royal pain to
setup the export process. You might be better off asking the developers
to provide a drop if you are looking for something specific. That would
also make it less likely that you get the branch in an inconsistent
state.

Hope that helps!

Security by obscurity is not the goal here.  If the sshd setup is not  
secure, it doesn't matter what port you use.  Eventually someone will  
find it.  What changing the port does is eliminate the logging of  
thousands of stupid attempts to break in.  You can also raise the  
logging level in syslog to something above where those are logged but  
you might miss some important messages that way.

Subject: Buffalo/Broadcom wireless N card
Message-ID: <4820F2FF.4050503@earthlink.net>

I'm trying to compile support for a wireless router into FBSD 7
using instructions off a FBSD help page I can't locate just now.
(I'm working on building a network bridge.)

none0@pci0:0:10:0:    class=0x028000 card=0x03531154 chip=0x432914e4 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'BCM43XNG 802.11n Network Adapter'
    class      = network

When it boots in the machine which has the card (I compiled
on another computer) it blows out with a kernel error (writing
not a non-existent page, I think) when the device shows up.
It shows as device bge0 but identified as BCM 5701 (iirc).

Can someone point me in the right direction?  Has anyone
gotten this card to work?

Thanks.

Submit the second port and include a note that it depends on a port you 
recently submitted.  Cite the PR number and point out that the port you 
are submitting should not be committed until the first port is.

I run sshd via inetd rather than as a stand-alone daemon.  inetd provides 
optional rate limiting functionality.  For instance. putting

   ssh stream  tcp  nowait/20/4/10  root  /usr/sbin/sshd  sshd -i

into /etc/inetd.conf set a limit of

* 20 overall ssh connections
* 4 connection attempts per minute
* at most 10 connections from a single IP

This works very well on a personal server, not sure how it scales up.

Cheers,

Hey Robert,

This error indicates that you are having some sort of connection issues,
I for instance get it when  I forget to use our work proxy, here are
some steps you can try to remedy the problem:

1) Can you resolve update1.FreeBSD.org? 
2) Can you ping update1.FreeBSD.org? 
3) Can you telnet to update1.FreeBSD.org on port 80?

That should give you a idea on what the problem is.

Rudi

No, you can build kernel, world and ports as an ordinary user as long as 
permissions on the build directories are configured appropriately.

The arithmetic is being done by a computer program which must have maximum sizes set for numbers (e.g., long [4 bytes], maybe  ulong , etc.), not by a human being who can adjust for the size of the data (though he may make other mistakes).  Try to get the raw data on which the arithmetic is done to see if the error may be there, and you could point to a program needing a correction (which may not be possible unless one goes to floating point which causes other problems)

No, building everything does not require superuser rights.

I usually build my src/ snapshots as 'build', at /home/build, by
something similar to:

    # su - build
    build$ MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/build/obj ; export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
    build$ rm -fr obj/*
    build$ cd src
    build$ ( make buildworld && make buildkernel ) 2>&1 | tee ~/logfile

There are a few places where the build path is recorded, i.e. in the
output of uname

    # uname -v
    FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Mon May  5 00:43:56 EEST 2008     build@kobe:/home/build/obj/home/build/src/sys/KOBE

but other than this, there should be nothing that prevents you from
building as any non-root user.

Subject: Underscores in host names
Message-ID: <4821896B.60005@cam.ac.uk>

Hello,

I've a host on the network called "GC100_000C1E00AC3F_GlobalCache", and 
I'm getting interesting behaviour when I try to do DNS lookups on it.

Under FreeBSD, ping fails with 'Unknown server error'(distinct from the 
standard 'Unknown host'), and nslookup succeeds.  OSX and Windows 
machines will do a DNS lookup on it quite happily

The best explanation I can manage is that ping etc. are using different 
code from nslookup, and only nslookup is allowing the underscores within 
the hostname.

Is this behaviour by design?  My understanding is that underscores are 
not strictly permitted, but that most implementations choose to allow 
them unless there's a specific reason not to.


Regards,

Chris

Interesting, I have a HTC hermes (well orange spv m3100, same thing) and

I'll give this patch a try.

You could use and configure the amd(8) for this; it will mount the
device (when it is plug'ed in) on 'cd ~backup/data' or any other access,
and will umount it when not busy after some time;

Message-ID: <1210160520.7730.15.camel@puk>

Hello,
I've first upgrade my system using the method described at
www.digitalrage.org/downloads/Upgrade.Freebsd.pdf
I had some trouble cause i've in first instance downgraded it from 6.2
to 6.0 instead of upgrading it because I didn't change the 'default
release' directive in my cvs-supfile.

So after the downgrade I did a upgrade from 6.0 to 6.3 and everything
was working as it should. I then wanted to install tinyerp webclient and
I needed some newer versions of installed software so I started a
portmanager -u
I was stupid enough to do it in X so it got stuck after some time...
I killed it and started it again using 
portmanager -u -f --resume
it upgrades allot of ports but then eventually stops with not all ports
were upgraded check /var/log/portmanager.log for info.

Using find(1), you can try something like this:

For files:
  find /plop -type f -exec chmod 644 '{}' \;

For dirs:
  find /plop -type d -exec chmod 755 '{}' \;

Use the symbolic form for permissions and use X, which is true if any of the 
execute bits is currently set, or if the argument is a directory.

chmod -R =r,u+w,+X .

(set read for all, add user write, add all execute bits if required) should 
give you 644 on files, 755 on directories and executables.

How about?

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

If there are a lot of them, you might want to pipe to xargs.

For backing up purposes, I use a number of tools.

For files that I'm constantly changing, then I check them into
subversion. This includes the files for my website, since it is in a
constant state of flux. Then it's just a case of checking out the tree
and running $ svn update on it on other machines when I edit anything.

For databases (fairly static with few updates), I just drop the
database and scp the file to other machines/disks.

For a tree that I'm constantly adding to but the content is then
unchanging, my LaTeX letters, templates & other documents, I use
rsync:

$ rsync -avruz ./latex/ frank@melon:~/latex

Hence, just a few files that I've added since last backup get copied
across.

I backup config files with scp along with any scripts I may have
written.

I use these methods to keep a server, workstation and laptop in sync.

I don't archive anything (eg. write it to CD or DVD). In case of fire,
I grab the laptop & run. In case of asteroid impact, my data dies with
me ;)

My audio CDs will be covered by insurance.

If I had directories with piles of data in it, then I'd use
dump/restore but I don't.

OS files, I don't give a monkeys about, I can always rebuild, ditto
ports.

As you see, I think you should use a number of different tools &
strategies dependent on the type of data you are backing up. They're
all scriptable but I tend to just backup when something has changed
rather than using cron. You soon get into the habit.

All my machines are protected by UPSes.

Regards,

How old was xorg? Have you already been through the 7.2 upgrade?

I had this discussion with some colleagues a short time back.  Our
conclusion (based on some research and experimentation):
1) Underscores are not valid in domain names.
2) _most_ DNS systems will work with them anyway.
3) Just enough DNS systems don't work with _, that it's a really bad
   idea to use them in domain names.

DNS is perfectly happy with underscores in RRs generally -- it's just forbidden
for them to appear in hostnames in the DNS specifically.  This is to distinguish
between hostnames and other data such as SRV records.

How do I chmod separately files and directories?

If I use chmod -R 644 then it will go through all the subdirectories 
assigning everything 644 permissions, directories including.

Subject: Best Java 1.6 JDK for FreeBSD?
Message-ID: <4821B028.5020809@gmail.com>

Hi guys,

We're currently running a busy java web application with diablo-jdk 1.5 
and jboss 4.0.5 on FreeBSD 6.2 (yes it's outdated, will upgrade to 6.3 
very soon). That combination has proven to be very stable in the past. 
Now we'd like to start making use of some 1.6 only features in the app 
and thus were wondering about 1.6 support on java.

Now seeing that there's no diablo jdk for 1.6 afaict I have three options:

   1. Use linux-sun-jdk 1.6 using the linux compatibility layer
   2. Use the native FreeBSD jdk 1.6
      (http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/status.html) but which
      is officially only beta quality
   3. Forget about 1.6 altogether and stick to 1.5 semantics in our code

Which one do you think is the most stable option? Well, the way I've put 
it 3. clearly is the most stable but I'd like an honest consideration of 
1. and 2. Does anybody use 1.6 in production on FreeBSD? What have your 
experiences been?

Upgrades...unless they're very pressing security issues that directly relate
to the well-being of my server, I upgrade as rarely as possible. Upgrading
things has a tendency to break stuff at the most inopportune time. Frankly,
I'm not sure why everyone is so adamant about having the latest updates. If
the program does what I require, I would rather have a more aged version
which has been given time to get the bugs worked out.

As far as building software, I do this as rarely as possible as well. Unless
there is a specific functionality which requires a set of non-default
compiler flags, I use packages. It makes no sense to waste time re-compiling
the same program, with the same compiler options, for the same processor
architecture as has already been done by countless others. For example, if
you ran a lab of 300 identical computers, would you re-compile every program
on each computer? Probably not. If I can get a pre-compiled binary from a
reliable source, I'd rater do that, than sit around all day waiting for
software to build in hopes of benefiting from a few custom build options.

My 2 cents worth.

sorry, I forgot to reply to all.

for directorys, you can use:
chmod 755 */

if the files have a suffix. you can use
chmod 644 *.*

for the files don't have the suffix, I guess a regex should solve it.
But I'm not familiar with regex. :-)

Thanks Frank for your input. I have chosen for now use Chuck's suggestion,
that being cvsup. The only thing I would like to do is omit certain files
that I don't want backed up - large unimportant files - some cache and
log files. I'll look at your suggestions and see if there is a way 
to tweak my backup strategy for the best mix.

You can do all of this with amanda and simply run your backup from cron.

I just tried and it's working fine for me.  What software are you using
for the download?  Perhaps your FTP client is doing it wrong.

Checksum problems occur sometimes during downloads ... that's the
_reason_ checksums are provided, to detect corrupted downloads.

something to think about to is that the ports collection will be more current than packages.
Example of this is GNOME 2.16 being listed in packages collection for a while after GNOME 2.18 came out.
If you use a custom kernel, ports would be compiled to run a bit more optimized for your processor (i.e. 686) than the GENERIC kernel (486-586-686) but good coding of the program should not have this kind of reliance anyway.


if you want the system up and running fast with known working versions, definitely stick with packages.
if you want the latest software, use ports and keep them upgraded.

its always a personal call.

Hi David,

Obviously, you're best placed to decide which backup strategies are
best to use with your setup. With cvsup you can use refuse files which
might be of use. It means that some parts of the tree are ignored when
cvsup is run.

The manpage describes the usage of them.

Best of luck and may I wish you no data loss!

Regards,

I have not been using it in FreeBSD but I had to downgrade jdk to 1.5 on my 
Ubuntu machine in order to get my browsers to work correctly.  For this 
reason, I would stay away from it in FreeBSD as well, for the time being.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ is currently rejecting my "anonymous" in 50% of a
small sample of attempts.

To OP:  you may wish to try one of the mirrors closer to you (Spain,
France, South Africa?? I have no idea how you connect to the world).
See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/fr_FR.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

Another thought is to consider using Bittorrent if it is available to
you.  As this splits the files into many small chunks, checksums each
one independently, and can be stopped and restarted at any time with
very little loss of already transferred bytes, you may find it more
resilient in your situation.

Subject: SMB share not mounting at startup
Message-ID: <4821DEA3.3020905@rowyerboat.com>

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 rc should 
wait until after the network is started before trying to mount it (so 
shouldn't fail).  I have an entry in /etc/fstab as follows:

//backup@snap-cms/unix_backups  /mnt/snapserver  smbfs  rw  0 0

Does anyone have any ideas?  I'm wondering if the .nsmbrc file can't be 
read because rc isn't running as root - and if so, where can I put .nsmbrc?

Many thanks,
Steve :)

Perhaps more to the point of the question, there is nothing in /root

Have a look at /etc/nsmb.conf
This is where smbfs looks after trying ~/.nsmbrc
Don't know if this is really your problem, but it is worth a try.

I don't think $HOME or $USER are already set at the time hard disks are 
mounted. Use the global file /etc/nsmb.conf as suggested in another mail.

No, the design of the rc system does not allow for rc.conf to alter the order 
of the scripts executed, since rc.conf is loaded on a per-script basis and 
the ordering is done based on 'comments' in the scripts themselves.

You can however, load an empty table with the appropreate name, then create an 
rc script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that fills the table with hostnames to 
solve your problem.

Here's an example:

/etc/rc.conf:
pf_dyntables_enable="YES"
pf_dyntables_list="adservers"

/etc/pf.conf:
table <adservers> persist

/etc/pf/dynamic/adservers:
cdn.fastclick.net
ad.doubleclick.net
# etc etc

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/pf_dyntables:

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: pf_dyntables
# REQUIRE: named pf ppp

. /etc/rc.subr

name="pf_dyntables"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
start_cmd="${name}_start"
stop_cmd=":"

load_rc_config $name

: ${pf_dyntables_enable="NO"}
: ${pf_dyntables_dir="/etc/pf/dynamic"}
: ${pf_dyntables_list="NONE"}

pf_dyntables_start()
{
   if test x"${pf_dyntables_list}" != x"NONE"; then
      for table in ${pf_dyntables_list}; do
         echo "Loading table <$table>"
         cat ${pf_dyntables_dir}/${table} |/usr/bin/xargs \
            ${pf_program} -t ${table} -Tadd
      done
   else
      echo hi
   fi
}

	I use SeaMonkey; I build it pretty much as vanilla as it gets.
Never had this happen.

What you probably need is to do a "pf resync"; rc.d/ppp already does
this, but too early for named. Doing it after named is running is
probably not sufficient as there is no guarantee that ppp has
established a network connection. 

I wrote a script that waits until it can ping external hosts, and then
does a resync:


#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: networkwait
# REQUIRE: named
# BEFORE:  ntpdate

. /etc/rc.subr

networkwait_enable=${networkwait_enable:-"NO"}
name="networkwait"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
stop_cmd=":"
start_cmd="wait_network"


wait_network(){
   if [ "$networkwait_ping_hosts" ] ; then
      host_list="${networkwait_ping_hosts}"
   else
      # No hosts supplied - use external nameservers
      host_list=`awk '/^ *nameserver/ {print $2}
        '< /etc/resolv.conf | grep -E -v '^127\.0+\.0+\.0*1'`
   fi
   echo -n "Waiting for network access ... "
   while true ; do
      for inet_host in $host_list ; do
         if ping -nc1  $inet_host 2>&1 > /dev/null ; then
            echo "ping to ${inet_host} succeeded."
            # Re-Sync ipfilter and pf in case
            # they had failed DNS lookups
            /etc/rc.d/ipfilter resync
            /etc/rc.d/pf resync
            exit 0

Message-ID: <75a268720805071400o2eb75c54y77c11790407cf045@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,


I wanted to set  the minimum length of  passwords  of my users so I
have done the followings in login.conf

1) added  :minpasswordlen=5:\ to    default like:


default:\
        :passwd_format=md5:\
        :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
        :welcome=/etc/motd:\
        :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
        :path=/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/loca
l/bin ~/bin:\
        :nologin=/var/run/nologin:\
        :cputime=unlimited:\
        :datasize=unlimited:\
        :stacksize=unlimited:\
        :memorylocked=unlimited:\
        :memoryuse=unlimited:\
        :filesize=unlimited:\
        :coredumpsize=unlimited:\
        :openfiles=unlimited:\
        :minpasswordlen=5:\
        :maxproc=unlimited:\
        :sbsize=unlimited:\
        :vmemoryuse=unlimited:\

2) Have run cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

After that still the users can change their passwords to less than 5
characters and no warning are shown to the user . I have tested this
at FreeBSD 6.2, FreeBSD 6.3 and even on FreeBSD 7.0 it doesn't work

But I have found a FreeBSD 4.11 and followed the same steps and I got
following on passwd command:

ns1~# passwd xxxxx
Changing local password for xxxxx.
New password:
Please enter a password at least 5 characters in length.
New password:
Password unchanged.


Am I missing something here? Or this may be a bug on FreeBSD 6.X and 7.X

Regards.

You didn't read the login.conf manpage:
     The minpasswordlen and minpasswordcase facilities for enforcing restric-
     tions on password quality, which used to be supported by login.conf, have
     been superseded by the pam_passwdqc(8) PAM module.

Actually I have read it but haven't read all the man pages because
even in 7.0 manual page for login.conf still have:

 minpasswordlen    number	 6	   The minimum length a local password may be.

I think that line should be removed from manual page too.

Regards, thanks for the fast reply.

It's confusing, but...
     The following capabilities are reserved for the purposes indicated and
     may be supported by third-party software.  They are not implemented in
     the base system.

So this basically means, that cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf will not throw an error 
when it sees that capability and it will also set the default value, if 
applicable. Programs can use getcap(3) to consult the value. For instance you 
could write your own login program, or consult and enforce it through a 
webpage, or implement it in a server program.

Subject: plagued by bad hdr length
Message-ID: <3184.89.240.55.163.1210201232.squirrel@www.violetlan.net>

Hi

I'm getting loads of bad hdr length from pf on our router running freebsd 7.0

I've tried just about everything I could find with google.

Lowering the mtu on my ng devices from 1492 all the way to 1485, anything
lower then that and we can't ssh out of our network and I get loads of
time outs every where.

I've tried also pretty much every possible solution with the scrub rules
in pf, I even disabled it a few times.

I honestly don't know what to try next.

tcpdump -n -e -tttt -i pflog0
2008-05-07 23:42:06.596965 rule 78/0(match): pass in on ng0:
89.240.55.163.3164 > 192.168.1.5.80:  tcp 20 [bad hdr length 8 - too
short, < 20]
2008-05-07 23:42:07.051043 rule 78/0(match): pass in on ng0:

2008-05-07 23:42:25.697087 rule 76/0(match): pass in on ng0:
80.81.242.13.51145 > 192.168.1.5.22:  tcp 36 [bad hdr length 8 - too

2008-05-07 23:42:30.561467 rule 77/0(match): pass in on ng1:
80.81.242.14.63900 > 192.168.1.5.22:  tcp 36 [bad hdr length 8 - too

And here are the same log again
tcpdump -n -e -tttt -r /var/log/pflog
2008-05-07 23:42:06.596965 rule 78/0(match): pass in on ng0:

Here is my ifconfig
ng0: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu 1492
        inet wan1-ip --> wan1-gw netmask 0xffffffff
ng1: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu 1492
        inet wan2-ip --> wan2-gw netmask 0xffffffff

Anyone out there that can lend me a hand with fixing this?

Thanks

It will still fail on a directory name that contains a space (this is
a difference between Gnu and BSD).

You need:

find ... -print0 | xargs -0

Subject: Mounting USB CD-ROM manually, after boot
Message-ID: <48225087.1000409@ibctech.ca>

Hi everyone,

To get right to the chase, FBSD 7.0, I plug in an external USB CD-ROM 
device with a CD (of FreeBSD 7.0) and I want to mount it manually into 
the filesystem.

The device shows up with a label, and appears as /dev/cd0 (in dmesg).

# mount /dev/cd0 /cdrom

...fails, with a:

mount: /dev/cd0 : Invalid Argument

I have nothing else in /dev that would indicate any new device was 
attached. I know for fact the .iso is burned correctly, because I can 
boot from the same CD on another PC. Even still, a bad ISO burn still 
shouldn't prevent me from mounting AFAIK.

I've also tried all manner of cd0a etc, but they don't exist. (I can 
confirm cd0 is the only entry that appears in /dev after USB insertion).

Can anyone shed some quick light onto the solution that I am likely 
purely overlooking?

Thanks,

Steve

Try this:

mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0  /mnt

If that doesnt work try "acd0". This works on my system at any rate.

Thank you for the very quick reply. The above command that David stated 
worked immediately.

Absolutely.  But the same can happen with any rate limiting solution.

However, in practice this has never been an issue for me.  First, I tend to 
copy large sets of files using a single connection.  Either 'scp -r' or by 
running tar/rsync through an ssh tunnel.  Second, this kind of limit is 
enough to discourage script kiddies, but caps my downside risk to an 
acceptable (to me) one minute lock out.

Anyway, it works for me.

Cheers,

-- Norbert.

Come on...

The comment was based on a 'personal' server for logins.

How 'bout you explain why SCP would break this so the OP understands...

Otherwise, explain why running an FTP session through one of the 
server's SSH tunnels wouldn't be equally viable to running an unlimited 
number of SCP sessions over normal TCP ;)

I had the same problem (i.e., needing to access the server from a new 
location). In my case, one of the allowed sites is the server of a 
friend who has provided a shell account for me. When I'm on the road, 
I just ssh to his machine, and from there I can ssh into any of my 
machines. His machine effectively does all of the script-kiddie 
filtering for my site. ;-)

Note if you choose to do this: scp'ing files becomes a four-step 
process (i.e., scp file(s) to intermediate server, log in to 
intermediate server, scp to destination server, delete file(s) from 
intermediate server). Still worth it, though.

Remember the "wave theory" of script kiddies (WARNING: Gross 
oversimplification ahead): Quantum mechanics says that if you throw 
yourself against a wall several quintillion times, you'll eventually 
"wave" through it without leaving a mark on yourself or the wall.* 
Similarly, a sufficiently large number of break-in attempts by script 
kiddies will result in one of them "waving" straight past all of the 
security without leaving a scratch.

FWIW, I agree with cpghost -- it's strange that an addition as 
obvious and useful as this isn't already supported.

noticeable marks on both you AND the wall.

Never thought of port forwarding?

Hi list,

i have a new FreeBSD 7.0 installation with a HighPoint RocketRAID 2310 
with 4 Disks.

is there a way to check the raidstatus for the raid and/or is there a 
way to let smartmontools check the disks?

thanks
Thomas

Subject: Group of the newly created files and directories
Message-ID: <846407.47995.qm@web57001.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

Hi

I have noticed in FreeBSD, the group of the newly
created files and directories are assumed by default
of the group of the parent directory!

Eg. cd /tmp
    touch testfile.txt

-rw-r--r--  1 unga   wheel         0 May  8 15:39
testfile.txt

If you do the same in Linux, it would be:
-rw-r--r--  1 unga   unga         0 May  8 15:39
testfile.txt


That is, in Linux, the group will the user's primary
group, but in FreeBSD, it is the the group of the
parent directory!

It is the same even if you use the open(2) system call
with O_CREAT.

I have following questions in this regard:

1. Is this the intended behaviour or error?

2. Where in FreeBSD the open(2) system call is
implemented?

Kind regards
Unga

Yes, it's been that way in any BSD for as long as I know.

because:
for FILE in */*.[ch]; do scp ${FILE} host:/backup; done
is quicker to write then setup tunnels.

The point is, that there's a difference between failed login attempts and 
incoming connections. sshd logs failed login attempts, so it's easy to 
seperate them (sysutils/grok) and set the rate limit to an acceptable value, 
should one try to hammer the server by simply opening connections.

Yes, this is the difference between SYSV and BSD systems - each variant
has its own arguments in favour so this behaviour is not likely to be
changed.

Is portknocking + firewall considered?

There are ways to implement it, some are not complicated.

It's not actually portmanager, it's the ports-system itself. This
question comes-up regularly. Try looking for the thread:

Hi. I'm new to this list, just came across this
thread as I had the same error message - but the
messages posted so far didn't help me. I found a
solution for my case, and I'm posting it here so
maybe it can help others too.

In some cases like mine, the symptoms indicate
that the problem might be caused by differing ways
of interpreting bootp/dhcp information by the
PXE hardware, rather than than in pxeboot itself.

In my case, I had a dhcp "filename" entry which
contained slashes (/), and this was causing trouble
_after_ the referenced pxeboot was correctly loaded
and executed.

Long story:

I wanted the loader to mount root and access
/ and /boot from NFS, not from tftp.

I did get so far that the pxeboot was found
and started, but the NFS root could not be mounted
correctly, therefore /boot and the kernel were not
found. it stopped stating NFS MOUNT RPC error: 60,
timeout after a while, throwing me back into the
loader prompt.

The interesting thing is, a different machine
booted just fine with the same setup. In my case:
a DELL PowerEdge 1750 did boot, a PowerEdge 1950
did not.

My setup:

One server (7.0-STABLE) was serving TFTP and NFS
to the local net, and both nfs root and tftp root were the same:

/pxebootroot -alldirs -rw -maproot=root -network 192.168.1 -mask  
255.255.255.0
in /etc/exports as well as

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -s /pxebootroot
in /etc/inetd.conf

In my dhcpd.conf on the dhcp server I had the
following entries
(192.168.1.61 being the tftp and nfs server):

filename "/boot/pxeboot";
next-server 192.168.1.61;
option root-path "192.168.1.61:/pxebootroot";

After a few attempts with the above error message
I had a look into lsdev in the loader. It listed dell's
virtual disk as well as, as a last entry, a
192.168.1.61:/boot/pxeboot

this made me think that something strange was going
on: why should that be listed as a device? maybe
it got nfsmounted already? I tried "load"ing
the kernel from there, but I didn't get far.

Whatever was wrong or not with it, it gave me an
idea, ant it helped, in my case
(on the tftp- and nfs server machine):

cp -p /pxebootroot/boot/pxeboot /pxebootroot/

change the filename in dhcpd.conf of the dhcp server:
-> from filename "/boot/pxeboot";
-> to filename "pxeboot";

and it boots fine with NFS root. I think somehow the
slashes (/) within the filename in dhcp were
(mis)interpreted by the pxe hw of the 1950.

I'm still finishing a setup with different pxe boot
environments, so if I come across any other details
for this I'll be glad to share them.


Regards,


Lorenzo

Thank you, the thread can be found here[0]. I use now "portupgrade -a --batch"
There are so many port management tools. Which one is officially
recommended? What do you use and why?

Any more suggestions?

Sure, but that would still leave my machines vulnerable to script 
kiddies. Since I rarely move files between my laptop and my server, 
the four-step process is not a big deal. If I did it more often, I'd 
probably cron up a script on the intermediate machine to move (and 
delete) the files for me.

Thanks for replies. Btw, where is the open(2) syscall

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.

To answer my own silly question, the above doesn't preserve paths.  Anyway, as 
always, there is more than one solution.  Not every solution fits 
universally.

I am trying to get a problem with my linuxulator working, where all of my items
that came from the linux-blackdown port give an error about a missing
libdl.so.2.  I tried using the Linux ldd, no output at all to see if there are
missing libs (that's wierd) so I tried to go off to the ports, and I was at
first pleasantly surprised to see that there's a Gentoo stage3 port, that's
great UNTIL I looked at the tarballs, they are the 2006.0 ones, which are so out
of date they aren't even on the web anymore.

Do you think it might work just to grab a more recent one, say a 2007.0, and
just unpack that in /usr/compat/linux?

Getting any sort of support on a historically old version of Gentoo is going to
be hard to accomplish, but I don't really know enough about Linux to fake it.

Message-ID: <20080508202543.GA70286@demeter.hydra>

Let me know if I should take this to the ports mailing list instead of
the questions mailing list.

This is my problem:

  # portupgrade neon-0.26.4
  ** Port directory not found: www/neon2
  ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
        - www/neon2 (port directory error)

Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips for how I should deal with
this?  This is the first time I've had a port fail to upgrade because it
suddenly seems to have ceased existing.

It's in MOVED. I just deleted it, and  www/neon26 got installed when
I ran portmanager.

Isn't this the sort of information that should be in /usr/ports/UPDATING?
In my case, there's nothing in that file that comes up when I search for
the string "neon" (without quotes).

Thanks for the help, by the way.  Pointing portupgrade at www/neon26
solved my problem.

Actually, isn't portupgrade supposed to handle moved origins
automatically? There's an  --ignore-moved option, and in the
script there's some code for finding the new origin at the top of the
function do_upgrade().

Do you update your entire ports tree, or just certain subdirs?  My copy
of /usr/ports/MOVED ( rev 1.1591 ) has the following:

www/neon|www/neon26|2008-05-05|Moved to be able to integrate www/neon26

which portupgrade should have used to determine the new location of
the port.

If I understand this correctly from:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/MOVED
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/MOVED.diff?r1=1.1586;r2=1.1587;f=h
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/MOVED.diff?r1=1.1587;r2=1.1588;f=h

The MOVED file was updated perhaps wrongly at first and then corrected.
So we who ran pkgdb -fF in the half a day before the correction would be 
thrown off in this case.

Question:
Would an additional line had solved it, like:
www/neon2|www/neon26|2008-05-05|Moved straight to www/neon26
?

Exactly.

Following Peter's idea and assuming that public key authentication is setup, the tunnel could be setup as easy as:
ssh -f -L localhost:3333:localhost:4444 userA@machineA "ssh -f -L localhost:4444:localhost:22 userB@machineB sleep 120"

In this case, we setup a tunnel through machineA to machineB.

Now that I look at it, I see that MOVED does contain that line.  I wonder
why portupgrade didn't do its magic.

Subject: Apache 2.2.8 + mod_authnz_ldap
Message-ID: <92bcbda50805081703g7577acb4na36958599c3d5e83@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

did anyone experience any problems trying to install mod_authnz_ldap
with Apache 2.2.8 on FreeBSD 6.3?

I ran into the following trouble:

mod_authnz_ldap.c:41:2: #error mod_authnz_ldap requires APR-util to
have LDAP support built in. To fix add --with-ldap to ./configure
which caused "Stop in
/usr/ports/www/apache22/work/httpd-2.2.8/modules/aaa. *** Error code
1".

This helped:

http://brent.kearneys.ca/sysadmin/2006/building-ldap-authentication-into-apache2/

It turns out that by configuring manually, -lldap indeed gets added to
APRUTIL_LIBS, while the same configuration adds -liconv in that spot
when run "the ports way" (make; make install).

This caused some more problems when returning to normal build as
libtool starts to complain about being unable to infer tagged
configuration. Resolving that, build finishes ok, but fails again
during install, this time trying to relink libaprutil.la, again due to
failing to infer tag. Adding "tagname=CC" just before it's about to
fail in libtool script helped.

Hope this helps someone. It might be an Apache error as there are some
FreeBSD-specific hacks in the original libtool code; on the other
hand, it might be that the problem is the port.

Regards,

No, I was more thinking of:

ssh -L 4444:your.own.host:22 user@your.friends.host

and then open a new shell:

scp -P 4444 the-file-you-want-to-copy user@localhost:

This works easiest with agent forwarding, but I guess any authentication 
will do.

Message-ID: <560f92640805081955m3219d3d3k26946a3ad5d86b1b@mail.gmail.com>

Howdy.  I purchased a 1U 10 inch deep server machine a few months ago:
http://www.abmx.com/1u-10inch-deep-supermicro-mini-server-p-366.html?osCsid=80f3951929d5a7ae27a51733627ee18a

The CPU is a Xeon 3xxx dual core 2.4 GHz.  The machine has no case fans, by
design.

It's sitting in a well-ventilated rack in a data center.  Oddly, when there
are no machines below and above it, the machine gets hotter.  Seems that
machines above and below help to cool it down.  I have the "coretemp" kernel
module loaded on the FreeBSD 7.0 OS, and I saw that the CPU core temp(s) hit
70 degrees Celsius during a compile of GCC.  Is this too hot?  Should I
complain to the people who assembled the computer?  At the time this
happened there were supposedly no surrounding machines.  This machine has
given me no problems.  At idle when conditions are good (meaning A/C is
working properly and there are machines above and below it) my CPU temps are
below 40.

Maybe, maybe not. Every chip has a different operational range. This
information should be available from the chip manufacturer's website,
if you can find it. Additionally, this page (URL) may be of interest:

As with so many other things in the computer world, it depends. With no case
fans, it's weird that the computer gets colder if it has something above and
underneath it. But there are so many factors when it comes to case
temperatures and air flow that it's nearly impossible to tell why. If
there's a huge cooler on top of the Xeon (Processor wind tunnel), then it
could be that closing the ventilation holes in the top and bottom of the
case makes the air flow more directly from the front to the back of the
case.

It seems the Xeon shuts down the system automatically if it reaches 105 C. I
don't know if this is any pointer to what a reasonable 100% load-temperature
could be, but I know processors nowadays run much cooler than they used to.
(I'm used to AMD Athlons on or above 70 C idle)

I'd say you should be fine if you haven't seen any instability at 70 C with
100% load.

You could try this if you want to be sure:

Doing something like a buildworld -j64 loop (if you have enough
memory, otherwise reduce -j level to avoid swapping) is going to
exercise your system a fair bit.

Which exact Xeon part number is it? You can look up the thermal
specification on Intel's web site:

http://processorfinder.intel.com

Looks like most of the 2.4 GHz Xeons' maximum operating temperature is
65C, but one of them is 85C. So let's hope you have that particular
part (the X3220). :)

Anyway, that should confirm whether it is "too hot" or not.

no it's not. the machines above and below has proper cooling, and 
transfers this machine heat by conduction - rack cases are mostly metal

I've very little experience with computers in racks, but if the machines are
actually touching, then yes, this could be the case.

The 65 C temperature a previous poster was talking about is not the maximum
operating temperature for the actual processor, it's the maximum temperature
in the case while the computer is operating. As far as I know CPU
temperatures are measured on the actual processor die, and the case
temperature will normally be *much* lower.

sysutils/ataidle in ports at the moment. I believe atacontrol has grown
some support for this in current.

What are you using for apr? The one that comes with apache itself, or the 
devel/apr port?
I found in practice that even though the "APR from ports" option contains a 
warning, it works better if you have more software depending on apr (i.e., 
subversion) and it's also better manageable with the plugins (in my case 
db4*). F.e., I don't have to rebuild apache, if I want to migrate to the 
latest and greatest db4 minor release.

Subject: slapd won't start with nss_ldap.conf
Message-ID: <1210336560.28281.43.camel@columbus.webtent.org>

On a FreeBSD 6.1 with openldap-server-2.3.39, I have setup nss_ldap and
pam_ldap, but cannot get slapd to start as long as I have nss_ldap.conf
present, it just hangs and nothing in the messages or debug logs. I just
copied ldap.conf to nss_ldap.conf, see contents below. As soon as I rm
the nss_ldap.conf file, slapd starts without delay, but of course, our
logins, etc. do not work until I re-create the file or symlink to
ldap.conf afterward...

host 127.0.0.1
base dc=example,dc=com
binddn cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com
bindpw secret
nss_base_passwd ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?one
nss_base_shadow ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?one
nss_base_group          ou=group,dc=example,dc=com?one

I have verified all the above to work with simple binds and all is fine
after slapd is started and nss_ldap.conf is in place. I have openldap
working with postfix and cyrus-imapd a long time on this box and now
using with samba for file shares, but have this issue with nss_ldap.conf
and trying to smooth out my boot process. Can someone suggest a solution
or point me to some info for help?

I am also have a hard time getting slapd to start early on boot. I am
using the port install built WITH_RCORDER=yes, but it still starts near
the end of the boot. Is there something more that I need to do and
somewhere to check that WITH_RCORDER=yes in make.conf was applied during
build? Any suggestion from someone experienced would be appreciated.

AFAICT, the one that comes with Apache itself.

It would seem that mod_authnz_ldap required mod_ldap to be compiled in
Apache to work. Having little or no experience at all with Apache +
LDAP combination so far, this was not really straightforward to me.

However, that combined with the (relatively) recent introduction of
OPTIONS to apache22 port leads me to ask the question if the Makefile
OPTIONS framework allows for dependencies (i.e. I mark one, the
framework automatically ticks other options my selection depends on).
Or, in this case, selecting mod_authnz_ldap automatically selects
mod_ldap. From the (scarce) documentation in the Porters Handbook, it
would seem that this is not currently possible, yet it doesn't seem
impossible to invoke another dialog and warn the user about inclusion
of additional options. Can anyone provide some insight into this?

I cannot find the version anymore because of Xorg being broken and
complains about libxau.so.0 on startup
But I think it must be at the latest version of FreeBSD 6.0.

	I just found out that I will need to copy some files
from a FreeBSD system to a Windows shared drive on our network so that
Windows users can have access to the files.

	After reading a little documentation and talking to a
cowworker, I was under the impression that this would allow
windows clients to access files on the FreeBSD system, kind of
the reverse of what I wanted. Then I read the man page for the
samba suite and it says:

       smbclient(1)
	  The smbclient program implements a simple ftp-like client.  This  is
	  useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as
	  Windows NT), and can also be used to allow a UNIX box to print to  a
	  printer  attached  to  any  SMB server (such as a PC running Windows
	  NT).

That sounds like I could push a file across when needed and be
done with it rather than trying to coordinate the remote users
to get the file at some time after I left it in a given
directory.

	Is that just wishful thinking or will it work that way
when properly configured? I need to be able to tell others in
this group what is possible and that one little paragraph seems
to say one can copy out from the UNIX box to the shared drive.

	Any particular gotchas regarding XP which soon will be
Vista in this neck of the woods?

	I apologize for some of the dumb questions as I do not
personally use Windows. I use FreeBSD, Mac and Linux.

	We have a huge Windows base on our campus, however, so
for now, I need to export some log files to the Windows world.

	Thanks for any useful ideas and for your patience.

If this is a fixed dependency, then it's a bug in the port's Makefile. If it's 
not set in stone (i.e.: mod_authnz_ldap could also work with 
mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap), then applying the logic you suggest, would kill 
the option to use mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap.

Set in stone would mean, "if there is a port mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap, or 
enough people have complained that they cannot use 
mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap, even though there's not a port for it".

Hi,

After reading all this I'm still not certain about what do you want to
do. If you are trying to just transfer some files from a FreeBSD machine
to a Windows machine (or in the other direction) once, without much
configuration, smbclient will let you do that. Run it on the FreeBSD
machine and connect to a Windows machine.

If you want to make the FreeBSD machine into a server for Windows
machines (i.e. the files will always be on the FreeBSD machine but
Windows users can access them, i.e. the FreeBSD machine will share
files), then you need to configure Samba properly (edit smb.conf).

> 	Any particular gotchas regarding XP which soon will be
> Vista in this neck of the woods?

No particular problems. Once configured, Samba works without additional
maintenance.

If you just want to transfer files to the Win box on an ad hoc, periodic 
basis, why not just set up ssh on your FreeBSD box and use WinSCP on the Win 
box?  Simpler than setting up Samba (though we use it very successfully 
here).

smbclient connects to any SMB server (be it Windows or unix or whatever) 
and perform fetch, upload and other operations from command line.

it's good to:

testing your samba setup (if you need)
fetching/uploading files to windoze from unix, if windoze has folder 
sharing enabled.


if you need file server for use with windoze - configure smb.conf properly 
and run samba with

smbd_enable="YES"
nmbd_enable="YES"


in /etc/rc.conf

and then by

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba start (or stop/restart)

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 out on your FreeBSD box.

Let's assume you have a non-protected share (called MYSHARE) on a 
Windows server called FRED.  Let's also assume you have prepared a mount 
point on FreeBSD for this share, called /mnt/fred.

All you need to do is:

      $ mount -t smbfs //FRED/MYSHARE /mnt/fred

If you need to specify a username/password combo to access the share, try:

      $ mount -t smbfs //USER@FRED/MYSHARE /mnt/fred

You will need to input a password, but if you want to save the password 
so it's used automatically, use /etc/nsmb.conf (see the man page), but 
here's an example.

      [SNAP-CMS]
      addr=192.168.0.4
      [SNAP-CMS:BACKUP]
      password=$$14b5d4732371b1c00e5d2f5cd96

The hashed password was created by using 'smbutil crypt' and inputting 
the real password (see the man page).

Obviously you need to make sure the permissions on /etc/nsmb.conf are 
secure.

If you want it to automount at startup, then /etc/fstab could contain:

      //USER@FRED/MYSHARE  /mnt/fred  smbfs  rw  0 0


Cheers,
Steve :)

Some alternatives have been mentioned, but you might also consider 
mount_smbfs(8).

You only need: samba_enable="YES" in the /etc/rc.conf file to make
samba start automatically upon reboot, or even if it is started
manually for that matter.

If you need 'windbindd, that is enabled separately.

If you need shares mounted automatically, you can put them in
the /etc/fstab file. See the Samba documentation or subscribe to the
Samba list.

Could be or some other bernouli/venturi effect.
Many systems will get hot when the cabinet is opened because
it breaks the airflow path in some way.

Subject: FBSD 6.2 Xeon 2.4ghz CPU and high load
Message-ID: <482473B7.7070707@pixelhammer.com>

Good morning.

I recently upgraded our two email gateways from 4.8 to 6.2. The required 
software was upgraded as well which consists of MailScanner and 
Sendmail. Both had been keep up to date so it was not a jump in required 
resources.

The issue I am seeing is that my server load, under the same traffic 
load, has increased 4 times or more. Where previously we saw a high load 
on the servers of 5 to 8, we are now seeing 14 to 17. Since the upgrade 
Sendmail has begun to timeout connections.

I have been digging through the system, mail lists, forums, anything to 
help determine the cause of the increased load. Here are some examples 
of what I am seeing.

I am suspicious of the kernel being the culprit because the system looks 
as if it is not working very hard, CPU load never shows above 50% idle. 
I found one thread which mentions that as an issue and offers a patch.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-February/022526.html

Currently I am running the SMP-GENERIC kernel and sysctl shows the 
following.

hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz
machdep.hlt_logical_cpus: 0
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed: 0
kern.smp.cpus: 4
I see dev.cpu.0 through dev.cpu.3

Can anyone offer a solution? Is this a known issue I can easily correct? 
At this point I am left with either rolling back to 4.11 or trying 
another OS.

I am thinking I have missed something obvious and I need to make a 
sysctl change to get the system working properly. Any help is 
appreciated, I'm losing mail.

Thanks,

Dave

It seems that the main problem arises from usage of OPTIONS.

If I had specified WITH_LDAP_MODULES (a category), both modules (ldap
and authnz_ldap) would have been included. If I had specified
WITH_LDAP, according to 'make show-options', it would have implied the
option WITH_LDAP_MODULES. However, when modules are selected through
OPTIONS dialog, AUTHNZ_LDAP means just AUTHNZ_LDAP and LDAP means just
LDAP.

Theoretically, this is not an error in port's Makefile, rather
something that gives even more flexibility to the user. However, the
same can't be said for user-friendliness. And to comment on your
message, I see no other LDAP-related options in Apache which would
make this a fixed dependency.

	I hope I managed to thank each of you who responded as I
feel like I know where I need to go next thanks to all the great
suggestions.

	I would have had to enabled nfs client if using
mount_smbfs, correct?

	When I built the system in question, I did not enable
nfs capabilities and don't really want to if I can avoid doing
so.

	It sounds like smbclient fits the bill for now, but
thanks to all of you for making things more clear.

Hi Martin,

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).

You don't need it.

Although installing samba will give you smbclient and a load of other 
things, if you don't need them I wouldn't install it.  From what you've 
previously explained, everything can be done with the (already supplied) 
mount command.

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===================================================

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

This document is also available on the web at
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.

I:    Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:    How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===============

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

       Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
       into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
       activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
       yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
       security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==============================================

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from freebsd-questions-request@FreeBSD.ORG.  In this message, amongst
other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical
message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/me@me.org
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for "me@me.org").  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS               User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
      keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
      example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
      grog@lemis.de.  Since then, I have changed it to
      grog@lemis.com.  If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from
      the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
      which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
      FreeBSD-questions.  If that's the case, you'll have to figure out
      which one it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're
      not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the
      messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a
      clue there.

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things
out for you.  Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
=========================================

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In some cases, it's not really
clear which group you should ask.  The following criteria should help
for 99% of all questions, however:

     If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this
     isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ).  There's a list of these
     questions at
     http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html,
     and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at
     /usr/share/doc/en/books/faq/index.html.  Check there, and if you
     don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions.  Examples might be
     questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular
     UNIX utility.

     If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure,
     or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to
     FreeBSD-questions.

     If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that
     it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code
     where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the
     message to FreeBSD-hackers.  You should also enter a problem
     report with the send-pr utility.

     If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can
     make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the
     message to FreeBSD-hackers.

     If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as
     implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send
     the message to FreeBSD-hackers.

There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for
example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet
Service Providers) who run FreeBSD.  If you happen to be an ISP, this
doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to
FreeBSD-isp.  The criteria above still apply, and it's in your
interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good
results that way.

IV:  How to submit a question
=============================

When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the
following points:

  1.  Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question.
      They do it of their own free will.  You can influence this free
      will positively by submitting a well-formulated question
      supplying as much relevant information as possible.  You can
      influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete,
      illegible, or rude question.  It's perfectly possible to send a
      message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you
      follow these rules.  It's much more possible to not get an
      answer if you don't.  In the rest of this document, we'll look
      at how to get the most out of your question to
      FreeBSD-questions.

  2.  Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message:
      they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests
      them.  Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject.
      ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough.  If you provide
      no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it.  If your
      subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may
      not read it.

  3.  When sending a new message, well, send a new message.  Don't
      reply to some other message, erase the old content and change
      the subject line.  That leaves an In-reply-to: header which many
      mail readers use to thread messages, so your message shows up as
      a reply to some other message.  People often delete messages a
      whole thread at a time, so apart from irritating people, you
      also run a chance of having the message deleted unread.

  4.  Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T
      SHOUT!!!!!.  We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak
      English as their first language, and we try to make allowances
      for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message
      written full of typos or without any line breaks.  A lot of
      badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly
      configured mailers.  The following mailers are known to send out
      badly formatted messages without you finding out about them:

      Eudora
      exmh
      Microsoft Exchange
      Microsoft Internet Mail
      Microsoft Outlook
      Netscape

      As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent
      offenders.  If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer.  If you must
      use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set
      up correctly.  Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers
      which don't get on very well with MIME.

      For further information on this subject, check out
      http://www.lemis.com/email.html.

  5.  Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly.  This may
      seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but
      many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred
      messages a day.  They frequently sort the incoming messages by
      subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the
      first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to
      look.

  6.  Don't include unrelated questions in the same message.  Firstly,
      a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's
      more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the
      questions to read the message.

  7.  Specify as much information as possible.  This is a difficult
      area, and we need to expand on what information you need to
      submit, but here's a start:

         If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error
         messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No
         route to host'''.

         If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say
         (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free
         vnode isn't'''.

         If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us
         what hardware you have.  In particular, it's important to
         know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in
         your machine.

         If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the
         configuration.  Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of
         authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic
         IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file?

  8.  If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see
      your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend
      the message.  Wait at least 24 hours.  The FreeBSD mailer
      offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the
      world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to
      get through.  And once it gets through, the one person who might
      know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part
      of the world.

  9.  If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there
      could be other reasons.  For example, the problem is so
      complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does
      know the answer was offline.  If you don't get an answer after,
      say, a week, it might help to re-send the message.  If you don't
      get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably
      not going to get one from this forum.  Resending the same
      message again and again will only make you unpopular.

To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following
question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-).  You choose which of
these two questions you would be more prepared to answer:


Message 1:
Subject: (none)

I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message 2:
Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD

I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm
having a lot of difficulty installing it.  I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16
MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball
disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive.  The installation works just
fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing
Operating System".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

V: How to follow up to a question
=================================

Often you will want to send in additional information to a question
you have already sent.  The best way to do this is to reply to your
original message.  This has three advantages:

1.  You include the original message text, so people will know what
    you're talking about.  Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out,
    though.

2.  The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to
    put one in, didn't you?).  Many mailers will sort messages by
    subject.  This helps group messages together.

3.  The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the
    previous message.  Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages,
    showing the exact relationships between the messages.

VI: How to answer a question
============================

Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider:

1.  A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to
    answering questions.  Read them.

2.  Has somebody already answered the question?  The easiest way to
    check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then
    (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all
    together.

    If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean
    that you shouldn't send another answer.  But it makes sense to
    read all the other answers first.

3.  Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been
    said?  In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much,
    although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a
    problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or
    whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software.  If
    you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further
    relevant information.

4.  Are you sure you understand the question? Very frequently, the
    person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express
    himself very well.  Even with the best understanding of the system,
    it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question.  This
    doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question
    more frustrated or confused than ever.  If nobody else answers, and
    you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more
    information.

5.  Are you sure your answer is correct?  If not, wait a day or so.
    If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply
    and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since
    nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI
    CD-ROM with a frog?".

6.  Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender
    and to FreeBSD-questions.  Many people on the FreeBSD-questions
    are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to
    by others.  If you take a message which is of general interest off
    the list, you're depriving these people of their information.  Be
    careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with
    hundreds of CCs.  If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc:
    lines appropriately.

7.  Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the
    minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for
    somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what
    you're talking about.

8.  Use some technique to identify which text came from the original
    message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending
    ``> '' to the original message works best. Leaving white space
    after the ``> '' and leave empty lines between your text and the
    original text both make the result more readable.

9.  Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it
    replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where
    each reply comes before the text to which it replies.

10.  Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a
     text such as ``Re: ''. If your mailer doesn't do it
     automatically, you should do it manually.

11.  If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too
     long, inappropriate subject line), please fix it.  In the case of
     an incorrect subject line (such as ``HELP!!??''), change the
     subject line to (say) ``Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was:
     HELP!!??)''. That way other people trying to follow the thread
     will have less difficulty following it.

     In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you
     did it, but try not to be rude.  If you find you can't answer
     without being rude, don't answer.

     If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format,
     just reply to the submitter, not to the list.  You can just send
     him this message in reply, if you like.

Message-ID: <20080509170201.07DE7106567A@hub.freebsd.org>

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF
form.  Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to
download the entire book.  See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ 
for more information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?
Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be
able to help

FreeBSD 6.2 is I believe slower than 4.11 for single processor systems
and processes which pretty much run single threaded -- ie. exactly what
you're trying to run.  This would cause exactly the sort of symptoms you're
seeing.

Try 7.0 instead -- it has all of the speed at multi-threaded, multi-core
type stuff but has also regained the sort of performance levels you could
get from 4.x at the sort of tasks 4.x is really good at.  You should evaluate
SCHED_4BSD vs. SCHED_ULE for your workload.  SCHED_4BSD is still the default
in 7.0, but SCHED_ULE gives better numbers for many workloads, and it only
missed being the default in 7.0 because it hadn't had enough time to settle
into the tree before the release.  SCHED_ULE will be the default from 7.1
onwards.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

You should look more into the status of the various processes, and how  
long it takes your mail scanning to process a message compared to  
previously.  It might be the case that the config under 6.2 is  
allowing more instances to run at once and is just barely nudging the  
system into excessive paging.  Once that happens, performance drops  
and the system load increases significantly.

Do a couple of "ps aux | head -20" every 5 minutes or so, and put that  
data somewhere on a website, the process states will help give a  
better picture of what's going on.

It might be reasonable to try hyperthreading enabled, as your type of

Subject: mounting linux partitions
Message-ID: <bbe9e35d0805091040v5e28231dlf8ff88ef50a5ec79@mail.gmail.com>

I have installed a linux distro on a partition of my machine (latest
Mandriva i686, default installation). I only need it to use a piece of
software for Nikon Coolscan IV film scanner (yes, sane works, but a cheap
commercial package called vuescan has better interface and uses some
hardware features like infrared channel that sane does not support, at least
in current stable version).

Now I would like to mount ext3 partition from FreeBSD at least for reading,
or vice versa, UFS2 from linux for writing. With kernel option EXT2FS, I can


$ mount -t etx2fs /dev/ad12s7 /linux

but then if I do

$ ls /linux

I get a 'Bad file descriptor' for directory /linux. e2fsprogs are installed,
and fsck.ext2 or fsck.ext3 think well of the partition. Also, df seems to
show it correctly, with size and free space.

I have FreeBSD 7.0 for amd64, Linux is 32-bit version. Also the partition is
'extended', i.e. fdisk on FreeBSD shows a DOS partition, but linux's fdisk
shows a couple of ext3 partitions. However, /dev/ad12s7 does correspond to
the correct linux partition and, when mounted, df shows the right size and
utilization.

Any advice how to share a partition between these 2 systems? I only want to
use linux to scan the film and store the pictures on disk, then boot into
FreeBSD where I spend most of my life as a user. I feel more comfortable
pulling from FreeBSD rather than pushing to it because (1) it is easier for
me to recompile FreeBSD kernel or install packages if necessary, and (2) I
would mind much less a corruption on the linux partition than on UFS; I can
simply reinstall the default installation for Linux, but FreeBSD has
important data and is finely tuned for me over the years.

do you feel that system goes slower?
i think it's just the matter of calculation method - 6.* may calculate it 
different way.

just change in your sendmail config the values in place of xx

define(`confQUEUE_LA', `xx')
define(`confREFUSE_LA', `xx')


as just accepting mail isn't a problem i set confREFUSE_LA very high

For single-processor systems, FreeBSD 4.11 does very well at a lot of  
tasks.  However, Dave apparently has a 4-CPU system (~8 threads if he  
enabled hyperthreading), and for real SMP hardware, more recent  
versions of FreeBSD generally perform better than 4.x would.

It is already set to higher than the load we see. I don't "see" sendmail 
refusing connections. What happens is I try to test sendmail from 
another server and the connection never completes. I'm knockin', 
sendmail ain't answering.

I would be inclined to try another version if I knew what the cause of 
this issue was exactly, and I saw in the release notes that the issue 
was resolved in 7.X. But I cannot just try a new version on a production 
server as an experiment. I've hosed this up enough thinking 6.2 was out 
long enough to not surprise me.

I've not compared them on any server running multiple CPUs, but on a 
single physical CPU server I've yet to see 5.X or 6.X keep up with 4.X. 
I've been poo poo'd heartily for saying so, more than once.

I would hope, and I do think, this is easily solved. I've already had 
one private email stating a binary upgrade to 6.3 solved the same 
problem for them. I wish I could find that email again 8^(

It is also worth taking a look at the ProxyCommand option.

For the case above something like this should be put in ~/.ssh/config:

Host your.own.host-tunneled
  HostKeyAlias your.own.host
  ProxyCommand ssh user@your.friends.host nc your.own.host 22

The you can just do "ssh your.own.host-tunneled" and go through
your.friends.host transparently.

Single CPU quad core.

ps -aux output is up, look under the FBSD dir. I also put up both 
dmesg.boot files from the servers.

Message-ID: <20080509133949.53b83c29@gom.home>

i can't seem to boot the cdrom on older hardware (500MHz and down).
i read somewhere that the older drives aren't supported by the
installation cdrom.

i want to create a series of 'dumb terminals' which can ssh -Y into a
faster machine. if necessary i suppose i can floppy in and then install
via nfs. or i can setup the hd on another machine that does support the
install cdrom and then transfer to the older machine.

here are the specific questions:

1. do older machines work better with older versions of freebsd?
2. if i dd a hd (with freebsd) onto another hd will i have a problem
with the mbr and be unable to boot?
3. are there any other ideas for install?

To try and identify the problem, can I ask - when you say slapd doesn't start, 
how long have you waited?

There is a chicken-and-egg problem with slapd on a host which is running 
nss_ldap. To start a process, the system has to adopt the user and group 
privileges of the process owner, which means enumerating all the groups for 
that user from every source of group information - including LDAP on a system 
running nss_ldap.

So, to start slapd, the system needs the group info for user ldap - from 
slapd. It times out and retries a few times, and eventually starts slapd 
using the group information from /etc/passwd and /etc/group, but the timeout 
and retry options by default take several minutes.

The delay can be even longer depending how many other services are being 
started first and therefore how many nss_ldap lookup timeouts occur during 
boot.

There are a number of possible solutions depending which version of nss_ldap 
you're running - searching for nss_ldap bind_policy nss_reconnect_tries will 
produce a number of suggestions and ``problem reports''.

MailScanner is what is taking up all of the load; tuning that area is  
where you need to focus.

Things which come to mind are trying to limit the max number of  
children of that being run to something smaller, perhaps 8 or so.   
Yes, they recommend running 5 * #CPUs, but they also think their  
instances are going to be around 20MB in size, but yours are running  
at 100+ MB size.

You might find that running sa-update and sa-compile nightly might  
improve your SpamAssassin performance; I've got a crontab setup which  
runs the following nightly:

% cat /usr/local/bin/update-spamassassin
#! /bin/sh

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

sa-update --allowplugins --gpgkey  
D1C035168C1EBC08464946DA258CDB3ABDE9DC10 --channel  
saupdates.openprotect.com --channel updates.spamassassin.org
sa-compile

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/vscan/spamd.pid`

(If you aren't running spamd because MailScanner uses builtin  
interface to SpamAssassin, comment out the last line.  But do check  
the sa-compile docs, you have to make a change for it to be used....)

Seems my core problem is something wrong with the openldap setup on that
box. I had taken the slave ldap server up to 2.3.41 and it was not
having this slapd/nss_ldap startup problem. I don't know if it is bad
with a synrepl slave earlier version that the master, but I just didn't
want to mess with the master until it proved OK and all seems perfectly
great on the slave except my boot order issue....

Thanks for the response, and yes, the openldap list owner finally
rejected my message and gave me the pointer to start slapd with the
owner and group by id instead of name. After reading the start script to
get the owner and group by id in the rc.conf file, I am now starting the
process in that way. While doing that I realize that I can handle boot
order by name of the file and gave it a prefix of 001. I will test my
changes tomorrow when I go on site to replace a UPS. If all goes well on
the slave, I'll upgrade the master and see if my pesky nss_ldap issue
goes away. And, yes, I was only waiting the length of time it normally
took when the nss_ldap.conf file was missing, few seconds max.

I appologize I should have given more info.

We do run sa-update, and sa-compile. We also run 0 scores on most DNSBL 
tests as we run those at the mta level along with milter-greylist, 
milter-ahead, pipelining rejection, and greet pause. We have been 
running a very trimmed down and fine tuned system for about two years 
now with good results. I do think the upgrade to SA 3.2.4 is very heavy, 
considerably more resource usage than 3.1.8 which we were running prior 
to the OS upgrade.

I have not changed the settings for MailScanner from our previous 
install with respect to number of children or to batch size. Previous 
testing showed that 13 MS children with a batch size of 10 messages was 
optimal. I can certainly give that a try.  I will look at enabling 
Hyperthreading as well.

I've also found this, which may be a clue to the suggestion that a 
binary upgrade to 6.3 was a solution.

It depends what else you upgraded while changing the openldap server. Earlier 
versions of nss_ldap had much shorter timeouts, I believe, which means the 
problem only manifested itself after a certain version of nss_ldap.

Errr, not sure what you're talking about here: man rcorder will tell you the 
normal way to control startup order on a recent FreeBSD. I think you'd have 
to be doing something rather unusual to force the old behaviour you seem to 
be talking about... As far as starting up with a numeric id rather than a 
user name, I'm not sure that will stop the lookup of group information which 
is actually causing the problem.

Good luck.

Funny that, enabling hyperthreading immediately dropped my load by half, 
I see CPU0, CPU1, CPU2, CPU3 now in top. I also see my CPU load 
reporting correctly as well. I see ranges from 10% idle to 80% idle, not 
locked at 50% and above.

That seems to have cured several ills. I will know more Monday at 8:30am 
when the business email traffic kicks in.

You may have old motheboards (or BIOS) that do not support el-torito (no 
emulation) boot, i.e. they can only boot from CD like a floppy (think 
Windows 98 CD boot). In this case booting from floppies will allow you 
to start (installation will continue from CD). It is not fast, but it 
works. A friend of mine is running a 6.3-RELEASE (obviously console 
only) on a 200 Mhz Pentium with 48Mb or RAM. It performs reasonably well 
for this spec (as long as you don't compile anything). I once installed 
6.1 on a Pentium Pro, 64Mb RAM using floppies + CD, it worked. Even got 
X running!
I have successfully installed 7.0 on an AMD K6-2 500Mhz -  had to 
disable ACPI or weird things would happen. Haven't tried any lower spec 
machine with 7. As for your questions:

1. I guess some newer versions may not work at all with very old 
hardware. Not something I tested though. Look at the hardware release 
notes for minimum requirements.

2. Sorry, never tried it

3. Connect the hard disk to a newer machine, install there and transfer 
to the older one. There are good chances of success. If the machine is 
really old, you may need to disable acpi during startup for everything 
to work properly.

Actually I was mistaken: I saw 4.11 and 2.4GHz Xeon and assumed the OP was using
2004-era hardware.  The whole "Quad Core" thing just didn't register.

It is what a lot of unix users have done historically, but now that there is good
support coming through for highly threaded, parallelized applications, developers
are going to write more and users are going to run more applications that exploit
that.

It's not a "Unix way" versus "Other OS Way" thing -- its a response to the change
in direction hardware development has taken over the past several years.   Chip
manufacturers have all but given up on the race to outdo each other on the MHz
or GHz rating of their products.  Nowadays it's all about how many CPU cores and
how much cache RAM there is on each chip.  4 cores and 8MB is just the latest
step in that evolutionary arms race.

It depends very much on the application load you have to support and the sort
of hardware you have available.  For the sort of multicore chips that are all the
rage nowadays, I'd go with 7.0 every time, even running single threaded
applications.

Also something to keep in mind, most (all?) new procs have thermal
cuttoffs that will kill themselves before any damage happens. If you
box hasn't shut down in weird ways or underclocked itself, you are
probably good to go. It's something to keep your eye on, but I
wouldn't worry too much about it if you aren't experiencing any
problems.

It looks like lftp is not running like I thought it would :/ Until I
ran the following commands manually instead of through CRON, some
files on the remote source FTP server dated May 6th/7th were not
downloaded locally and then uploaded to the target remote FTP server:

1. Here's the script:

# cat /var/sync.bash 

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
echo "Downloading from Source FTP"
lftp -u joe,sixpack -e "mirror -vn ./files /var/depot && bye"
ftp.source.com

echo "Uploading to Target FTP"
lftp -u joe,sixpack -e "mirror -vnR /var/depot ./downloads && bye"
ftp.target.com

2. When run manually:

# ./sync.bash 
Downloading from Source FTP
Total : 1 directory, 41 files, 0 symlinks
Uploading to Target FTP
Total : 1 directory, 41 files, 0 symlinks
To be removed: 0 directories, 2 files, 0 symlinks

3. CRON:

# crontab -l
5,35 * * * * /var/sync.bash >/dev/null 2>&1

=> What does "To be removed: 0 directories, 2 files, 0 symlinks"
actually mean?

Thanks for any tip.

Thanks for all the replies guys.  I called the manufacturer and it turns out
that there's a manual speed controller on the CPU fan.  I'm going to take
the top off my case and crank it up all the way at my first opportunity.
That will at least help a little bit.  Thanks again.  I still think 70
Celcius is too high.

Found what it was: The script worked fine when ran manually, but
failed when ran by CRON because it couldn't locate lftp:

Downloading from Source FTP
/var/sync.bash: line 3: lftp: command not found
Uploading to Target FTP
/var/sync.bash: line 6: lftp: command not found

Moral of the story: Start by leaving error messages as is before
redirectering them to /dev/null once the script proved to work.

on multichip hardware you can do many different things too - even faster

that's much better than "more gigaherts" way.

any unix should support it good - with any kind of load.

today i see performance improvements are mostly towards synthetic 
benchmarks like running 8 threads of mysql server.

it looks cool on paper, but we need good performance when running 
concurrently many different things.

if one plan to use single one program - why unix at all?


as i've tested 7.0 once, it was on same computer noticably slower under 
high load of different programs.

now i read 6.* is slower than 4.* (i never user 4.*)

isn't it something wrong with it?!

did you actually made a comparision with 6.*? not with "paper benchmarks" 
but just run 100 different things and check how responsive machine is.

My experience is of dealing with servers where each machine typically has
a small number of important applications -- frequently only /one/ application
 -- which it has to run as efficiently as possible, and for a large number of
end-users.  The most telling example was a MySQL server which we originally
configured with 6.3 -- but it just collapsed under the full load when we made
it the back end for a popular web forums site.  Exactly the same hardware is in
use now running 7.0 and not only is that DB server cruising along quite happily,
but we've been able to add a bunch more web servers at the front of the site.
That's the most remarkable improvement I've seen, but it is not at all
untypical.

I can't speak to the model of needing to run hundreds of different
applications on the same server -- about the closest thing I have to that
is my personal laptop (but only dozens of apps, rather than hundreds), and
other than being vaguely aware that it seems to be working adequately, I've
never even tried to compare before and after performance.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

Subject: Pxeboot via tftp problem
Message-ID: <17109.85132.qm@web90607.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi, I`m new to freebsd.and?I`m using freebsd 7.0?
I want to load my diskless systems through pxeboot in the network so?follow the instruction that mentioned in the mail about 2 weeks ago http://www.ultradesic.com/?section=144
instruction as follow:
1.compiling pxeboot and loader using? ?LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES
2.compiling kernel with necessary options
3.copy pxeboot,loader,kernel in /tftpboot/
4.configure dhcp , ....
all above steps finished successfuly and each client system get IP and dhcp client information correctly and just after it loads primary services and echo the message that said kernel will load in 10 seconds and after timeout, system hangs up and nothing happend. system echo following message at the end :
/boot/kernel/kernel?????? text=0x37fdd8??? data=0x81340+0x1460c???? 
syms=[0x4+0x3da60+0x4+0x51d1a]
Hit [Enter] to boot immediatelly, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel] ...
/boot/kernel/acpi.ko???? text=0x500ef???????? data= 0x81340+0x1460c?? 
syms=[0x4+0x3da60+0x4+0x51d1a]
|
and in this step system hangs up
please help me to solve this problem
before this error (that?I solved):
after the timeout it echo the error message that said "ACPI autoload failed" that I copy acpi.ko in the folder (/tftpboot/boot/kernel/) and this error gone 
my /tftpboot/ contains 4 files and 2 folder:
/tftpboot/pxeboot
/tftpboot/boot/loader
/tftpboot/boot/kernel/kernel

try as simple and stupid thing under load

cat /dev/zero >somefile (on big partition)

on 6.* and 7.* and compare both cases.

At the risk of belabouring the obvious:

   i) I like the price.  Free.

  ii) I like the operating environment -- CLIs aren't to everyone's taste,
      but I find they give me the freedom to do what I want without having
      to jump through a whole lot of hoops.

 iii) I like the efficiency of the OS -- you get that much more performance
      out of every machine it's like having additional servers for free.

I thought you were pillorying synthetic benchmarks upthread?  Filling up
a partition with a file of zeros is pretty unlikely as a real-world task.

I wouldn't be too disappointed if that didn't run as fast as it possibly
could, although I would be distinctly peeved if doing that on a loaded
server took up more of the system resources than it had any right or
justification to do, to the detriment of anything else running on that
machine.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

well - were linksys EVER making good products?
i don't remember.

i know linksys from - crappy radio access points that hangs every 
few hours (WET-11 is exception), similar or worse network cards, and 
switches that hangs every SLIGHT power supply instability.

Subject: GSM Access control system replaces key-fobs
Message-ID: <2f76aec51cafa1818f0fe2e3be13e571@gsm-secure.co.uk>

Hello, 

GSM-Secure offer products based on the GSM networks offering the
ability to use a mobile phone to receive alerts, calls and also to
control equipment via phone call or txt message. 

Thank you for your time in reading this e-mail. 

GSM-64 GSM Access Control system- 

This system will react to a phone call from a landline or mobile and
open gates, barriers, doors, shutters, garage doors and road blocks.
There is never a call cost in calling the unit as the call is
disconnected without being answered. Security is in the fact that
someone calling the unit has to know the mobile (cell) number of the
SIM card with it and can also be backed up by Caller ID. The unit has
a memory of 64 numbers and will only respond to a caller it knows the
phone number of who is calling it. 

The unit can open: 

 Gates 
 Barriers 
 Access doors 
 Shutter doors 
 Garage doors 
 Ram barriers and road blockers 

and is ideal for use on : 

 Residential properties. 
 Gated communities. 
 Small businesses with gates or access barriers and main entrance
doors. 
 Large business with road blocks, access doors and main entrances. 

More information & ordering this product can be found at
http://www.gsm-secure.co.uk/gsm_opener.htm

GSM Intercom system- 

This system enables a household or business to install an Intercom at
their gates that can call mobile or landlines to announce the presence
of a visitor. No more missed visitors waiting at gates only find no
one is home or on the premises. This reduces the risks of a burglary
due to the visitor never knowing if the owner is home or not. They
will assume that the Intercom has been answered that there is someone
home. 

When a call is received, the visitor can speak directly to the owner
who then can make a decision whether or not to open the gates, door
or barrier. 

Not only is it an Intercom, is has two other great features too: 

 1000 user Caller ID access control. Working in the same way as the
GSM-64 mentioned earlier, the unit can store up to 1000 numbers. When
a caller phones the unit and the number is recognised, the relay is
triggered. Any unknown callers are disconnected and ignored. 
 2 input alarm or notification system. Connect these inputs to a
sensor or monitoring system and the owner can be notified of events
happening on site such as gates being forced or the property has
unwelcome visitors. Alarms are sent as text or voice to nominated
numbers. 

 More information on this product can be found at
http://www.gsm-secure.co.uk/gsm_intercom.htm 

Other products 

we have include, boat alarms, caravan alarms and house alarms that
use wireless sensors as well as wired inputs for monitoring and the
facility to switch on equipment such as heating, cooling, Jacuzzis
and hot-tubs remotely using a quick call from a mobile phone. Alarms
are reported by text message and then a phone call along with
facilities to listen in to he premises to identify false alarm or an
intruder. 

TRADE DISCOUNTS are available at

I mounted UFS2 paritions under Linux like this:

[gonzalo@inferna ~]$ grep fbsd7 /etc/fstab
/dev/sda9      /mnt/fbsd7          ufs    ufstype=ufs2,user,auto,ro, 1 2

Same problem in here .. 
Same FS ...
Using the same line ...

I couldn't figure out a solution .. 
I either get a 'Bad file descriptor' for directory /linux' or 

$ ls /linux 
No such file or directory

FreeBSD 7.0 i386 and Linux i386 in here

Same in here .. 
I've got all of my music on a ext3 partition and pdfs and pictures on another 
ext3 partition .. I only need to mount those two in order to get FreeBSD's 
Amarok access to my music collection.

Any help will be greatly apprecciated ..

Subject: tap -> wireless client bridging (WPA)
Message-ID: <48257C5F.4030702@ntecs.de>

Hi,

I'd like to run Qemu on FreeBSD 7.0 and be able to connect from the Qemu
instance to the internet. For this to work, I'd like to use a tap device
and bridge it with a wireless (wpi) device.  But it seems like both lagg
and if_bridge doesn't yet support WPA security (or wireless clients).

Anyone knows if this support will be added in 7.1 or maybe another good
approach to my problem?

Regards,

   Michael

you mean it's IP checksums turned off by default in freebsd 7?

if i turn it off in FreeBSD 6.3 - it works too. but you CAN NOT do 
ifconfig re0 down and ifconfig re0 up

after 5-15 times it will lockup.


now i use it at 100Mbps in one server, following this 2 things, works for 
a month now.

Subject: Installation with IP alias
Message-ID: <30ddfdae0805100456s40f282c5w1479437513bbd7c3@mail.gmail.com>

Dear FreeBSD Aficionados,

I am trying to install FreeBSD in my notebook through an external USB
CD-ROM. While the installation manager runs fine, after choosing the
installation media it says it cannot mount /dev/acd0 (which refers to
the notebook's built-in broken cdrom).
What could I do?

As an alternative I tried installing through FTP. The problem is that
my network configuration has to be as such (with ip aliasing and some
static routes):
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
static_routes="beastie puffy"
route_beastie="-net 10.0.0.0/8 10.96.66.254"
route_puffy="-net 10.96.66.253/32 10.96.66.2"
hostname="payaso.costis.name"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.96.66.2  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_rl0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.36  netmask 255.255.255.0"

... and the holographic emergency shell is somewhat hostile to running
ifconfig/route: (command: not found)

My DNS server is 10.96.66.1


Thank you very much in advance for any insights!...

Yours,

You can use rdump this way, I have done it many many times to "clone" a 
server from one piece of hardware to another.

Boot with a live filesystem CD on the target machine
Mount your partitions under /mnt/ufs.1, /mnt/ufs.2, /mnt/ufs.3 (etc)
Then rdump from the source machine
Edit your conf files
Reboot

Easy as pie ;^)

The trick is the live CD. You setup the drives/partitions first. You 
mount them ready to go on the target machine before you rdump.

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade from 5.4 i386 to 7.0 latest release. But I'm having a bit of problem with the upgrade for some reason.

This is what has been done so far:

- deleted /usr/src/*
- cvsup -g -L 2  to RELENG_7_0  src-all
- deleted /usr/obj/*
- in /usr/src make clean

The error occurs when doing: make kernel-toolchain

Any tips on how to get this update? Or should I move to 6.x then 7.x ?

terminals' which can ssh -Y into a faster machine. if necessary i 
suppose i can floppy in and then install via nfs. or i can setup the hd 
on another machine that does support the install cdrom and then transfer 
to the older machine. here are the specific questions: 1. do older 
machines work better with older versions of freebsd? 2. if i dd a hd 
(with freebsd) onto another hd will i have a problem with the mbr and be 
unable to boot? 3. are there any other ideas for install?
-- In friendship, prad

I have with success installed 7.0 on a pentium 133 mhz laptop with 96 
meg ram. compiled X and fluxbox from source. The whole installation took 
a week or so ;) Works like a charm, except firefox is heavy load for 
this ancient piece of machinery. Also use xfce compiled from source on 
old 350 - 450mhz  machines  nicely.
I usually use cdrom boot and then ftp install. On machines with no cd, 
or no working rom drives I  use  floppy  boot versions of FreeBSD and 
then ftp the rest of the install. When wanting to use cdrom boot where I 
have no floppy, or bios doesn`t support cdrom boot (ie no bios upgrade 
to fix it either) I use a floppy tool called "smart boot manager" that 
when booted enables me to continue on most other media of my desire.( 
gives a new boot menu with among others cdrom driver loaded) I suggest 
this option for your convenience......

Subject: root login stops working
Message-ID: <812883.11120.qm@web54010.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

I'm running FreeBSD wx.dennis-flynn.net 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008     root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

About a day after install root login no longer works - even on the console.

I see the following in /var/log/auth.log:
May 10 14:22:37 wx sshd[86223]: Accepted password for root from 10.11.12.104 port 1492 ssh2
May 10 14:22:37 wx sshd[86223]: Received disconnect from 10.11.12.104: 0: 

And in /var/log/messages:
May 10 14:27:51 wx kernel: pid 86237 (csh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

New to FreeBSD after using Linux for a long time.  I'd really like to get this to workfor my web server/weather station which is currently running on Debian Linux.

Thanks

Try running a make clean in x11-wm/xfce4-wm and have another go - it looks
like some kind of artefact from a previous, unsuccessful attempt to 
build it. 

portsclean, part of the portupgrade package, can help with things like 
this - run portsclean -CDD every so often to keep your workdirs clean,
and to remove distfiles for ports that aren't installed.

 From my own experience:
Realtek pci 1000 8169 re0 work fine and are stable. The TrendNet brand 
has corrected the previous issues with the on board cards.
These 8169 cards are plug in pci that work fine (not on board).

100Mbit/s realteks now are all fine too, after long long time since first

Direct root login is disabled by default. are you able to login from your
10.11.12.104 as a non root user? What client software are you using on your
10.11.12.104 for logging on to your freebsd?

Looks like you got hacked, the tell-tale being "ip port ####".

Not sure it's related, but did you read the message you get before you

Looks like your shell segfaulted during login., resulting in your ssh session being aborted.

How about booting in single user mode ? And does your installation
underwent any filesystem recovery ? You can try reinstalling csh from
freebsd installation disc, and then try.

You could try the livefs CD, which should have everything you need to get the 
network working. I suppose you could then install from FTP using sysinstall. 
If that doesn't work you could install FreeBSD on a USB (flash?) disk, boot 
from it, then basically copy the whole USB disk to the HDD of your laptop, or 
something like that.

Good Luck!

Do you realize your own arguments are in favor of moving to 7.x? Since the 
concurrency on 7.x with ULE has improved so much more, running multiprogram 
pipelines or completely different programs will improve as well.

And as a bonus you get improved threading for the programs that use them.

Secondly, the unix way would be the way that scales best and in practice, 
machines dedicated to one task scale easier then machines that do it all, 
especially since you can tune the hardware and kernel.
Thirdly, unix also got big, because it was able to split one task over 
multiple machines.

No problem there. I did create my own /usr/local/etc/smb.conf, and
smbpasswd is living under /usr/local/etc/samba/. The n-1 version
worked fine, and this version was installed about a week ago.

While looking for an AVL library, I actually found devel/libds in ports. BSD 
licensed. Hasn't been modified in ages, but that's good - it's finished :p

You should use Miredo ( /usr/ports/net/miredo )

That have a isatap implementation.

thanks for your reply.
I install miredo and study the manual, it seems that the default setting of
midero works fine, so I just setup teredo as follows, but it still can't
work. would you please figure out what is wrong with it, or give me a
configuration guide in detail.
Thanks in advance!

// asign the ipv6 add
ifconfig teredo inet6 2001:da8:207:1:0:5efe.172.16.120.226
// setup the default router
ifconfig teredo isatap rtr 202.112.95.129

Message-ID: <482696F8.9090401@nicoelro.net>

Hello.

I use apache13 and php5. When I do a phpinfo(), I can see in 
"Environment" sensibles datas when I launch apache in root. I see all my 
env variables (as MAIL, TERM, USER, PWD, LOGNAME, EDITOR, OSTYPE, LANG, 
etc, etc...). So, we see informations about user who launched apache.

When apache is launched as boot (with apache_enable="YES"), I don't see 
these informations. I only see:

HOME 	/
PATH 	/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
RC_PID 	39
PWD 	/

This is OK. There is no critical informations.

How could I launch apache and mask these informations? I must reboot to 
have this default datas, else I see environment data about the user who 
lauch it.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <c8170b650805110010x51759a70t5681bb8248e08888@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I just installed Xfce4.4 on FreeBSD 7.0. I have been trying to get it
to directly give me a graphical login. The Xfce manual says this can
be done using gdm. According to it, I need to copy the example file
"xfce44.desktop" into /usr/X11R6/share/xsessions. The example file is
supposed to be located in /usr/local/share/examples (since Xfce is
installed in /usr/local.) But there is no such file.

1. Is there any other location this file could be? (`locate` cannot find it.)
2. Can I download it from somewhere? Googling did not give anything.
3. Will anyone be kind enough to send me a copy by email?

It is strange why the file's not there. Xfce was installed using
pkg_add (the port was giving some error in compilation which I could
not solve) and is working nicely without any obvious problems.

Thanks,
Nishita.

As an Xfce user, I've always found gdm to be more trouble than it's 
worth.  Have you had a look at /usr/ports/x11/slim - it's a nice, 
lightweight graphical login manager.

This is the quick way to add XFCE to your "sessions" menu in GDM:

First of all, make sure you have

gdm_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf (I assume you already have this)

Now, create a file in:

/usr/local/etc/dm/Sessions

Name it something like xfce44.desktop and type the following into it 
(adjust as needed):

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XFCE4
Comment=This session logs you into XFCE4
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startxfce4
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/startxfce4
Icon=
Type=Application

Reboot, and when the GDM login screen appears, you will be able to 
select XFCE4 from the Sessions menu.

Hope this helps,
Manolis

Thank you both of you for your help. I've installed Slim and it
works great.

Message-ID: <20080511093039.GA33095@logik.internal.network>

Whist trying to compile a program using the gcc42 (actually
gnat-gcc42) port, using the -pg flag for profiling, I got the following
upon linking:

  cc -pg -c -o prog.o prog.c
  cc -pg -o prog prog.o
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_p

I'm assuming this means that profiling libraries for the compiler are
missing. What do I need to do to get working libraries from the port?
There doesn't appear to be anything to set in the Makefile or any
port options whatsoever.

In the meanwhile I found the answer myself... the solution is to use

Like I said in my first post to this thread, I haven't tried this and I 
can't try this by my self for the moment (got no access to a 6-4 gateway 
what I'm aware about), however I think it's a interesting subject so I 
will probably try to test it in the future if I get the opportunity.

I was now reading little about it and found a posting 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.ipv6.miredo.devel/174 so maybe it 
doesn't offer a working isatap client only a isatap server and you need 
the client, this posting say so but maybe that's only apply for linux.

The only tips I can give you is to check for any error messages in 
/var/log/messages and I would try to start it manual in xterm or on the 
console to see what's going on, as root /usr/local/sbin/miredo --foreground

Maybe it's better for you to continue the search for a solution in 
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net the readers of 
that list are probably more into this subject.

Depends on if your talking about for the base system or ports or both.   
The easiest way to do it is use the csup procedures listed in the one of 
appendixs of the Handbook.  If you want to do it in in such a way that 
if you make a mortification the next csup will not globber it read the 
man page for developement(8), you should note though that some of the 
procedures listed there are overkill.  For example I skip most of the 
stuff on /usr/src2 (besides it breaks some tools).   For example this is 
how I update my sources on a daily baseis:

cvsup -h cvsup9.us.freebsd.org 
/usr/share/example/cvsup/cvsup-supfile                      // fetch the 
latest6 cvs repository
cd /usr/src
cvs -q update 
-dP                                                                                                               
// update my local base systems sources
// do the make procedure listed in the handbook
cd /usr/ports
cvs -q update 
-dP                                                                                                               
// update my ports tree
portsupgrade 
-a                                                                                                                  
// install any new port updates

Note this method will give you a 8-CURRENT system if you want some other 
version you will have to put a tag option on the /usr/src cvs call.

Welcome to FreeBSD Onkar! ;-)

While installing from CD, you have the option to extract the source
code. If you've already installed FreeBSD and your /usr/src is empty
or non-existent, you could always login as 'root', and re-run the
installer with:

# /usr/sbin/sysinstall

Then go to "Configure" (Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD),
then "Distribution" (Install additional distribution sets), and
then check "src" (Sources for everything). You could figure out
the rest yourself. ;)

The sources you'll get will be unpacked under /usr/src and can
be used to recompile the system (kernel and base system) as
described in the Handbook.

Later, you may want to upgrade your system. Typically, you'll
use 'csup' (/usr/bin/csup) to fetch the newest sources from
one of the FreeBSD CVSUP mirrors. This will update your sources
in /usr/src. Then you'll compile everything into /usr/obj
(a temporary holding area) as described in the Handbook (have
a look at /usr/src/UPDATING, near the end), and move the
compiled binaries from /usr/obj to where they belong (again:
see the Handbook).

You can install a GUI after installing FreeBSD.  If you choose this route
(instead of choosing to install X during the install), then I recommend
reading the FreeBSD Handbook section on X11:

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html

It sounds like he wants more then just a GUI he wants a desktop.... in 
that case you should pick one of the following depending on your taste:

xfce4 (what I use)
gnome
kde

Subject: agp problems in 7.0-RELEASE
Message-ID: <3b47caa90805111217n557e977ese6b31b71130f79ff@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I have upgraded my home desktop (1.4GHz P-IIIS) machine from 6.2-RELEASE-p9
to 7.0-RELEASE some time ago. When comparing the two dmesg outputs from 6.2
and 7.0, I realized that some things aren't the same anymore.

Probing agp gives the following messages
----------
6.2-RELEASE-p9:
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
agp0: <VIA 862x (CLE266) host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe0000000-0xe0ffffff at

pcib1: <PCI-PCI bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1
pci1: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)

7.0-RELEASE:
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
agp0: <VIA 862x (CLE266) host to PCI bridge> on hostb0
agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0:

vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> mem
0xd8000000-0xdbffffff,0xde000000-0xdeffffff
at device 0.0 on pci1
----------

So what are the errors "agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0" and "agp0: bad
aperture size (0Mb)" and "device_attach: agp0 attach returned 12" that I see
in 7.0-RELEASE? I assume that agp driver is not attached, so there's
something wrong with its implementation in 7.0, right?

I have uploaded the complete dmesg's to
6.2-RELEASE dmesg :    http://pastebin.com/f12c0ff27
7.0-RELEASE dmesg :    http://pastebin.com/f3e6809c6

Thanks a lot :)

Hi,

I've installed Compiz Fusion on my machine using packages. Installing it
from ports was unsuccessful since it needs gio-fam-backend which in turn
needs glib-2.16.3 to be installed. I don't really want to update my glib
since I don't know if I need to update all my system (or at least those
packages which depend on it) as well or not after updating glib (I just
didn't want to take the risk). Anyhow, installing Compiz Fusion from ports
brought with it all Gnome:

-------------

How can I stop them from running when I start X? And how can I remove all
these useless Gnome packages that I won't use? Do I need to update
everything that depends on it if I decide to update glib?

Thanks a lot :)

Correction: Direct root login via SSH is disabled by default.  If you
need root access, you should use a staff account in the wheel group to
remotely log into the machine, then su to root.

You should, however, be able to log in as root from a TTY console for
local access.

The fact that remote direct root login is disabled is a security feature,
meant to prevent things like brute-force attacks on root over the
network.  It's a bad idea to change that behavior, in general.  Back when
I was using Debian for all my servers, I would configure sshd to disable
direct root login -- and was pleased to find that on FreeBSD it's
disabled by default, once I started using FreeBSD for all my servers.

I'd say this was expected behavior, since FreeBSD disbles direct root
login over SSH by default (for good reason), but . . .

. . . this looks suspicious.  I'm pretty sure you don't get any core
dumps when sshd refuses to let you log in as root.

For security purposes, you should probably actually configure your Debian
system to behave more like your FreeBSD system, with regard to SSH.  Set
the PermitRootLogin value in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to "no" to prevent
remote logins over SSH as root.  This behavior is intended as a security
measure.  To access root remotely, log in over SSH as an account that has
su access, then su to root, rather than just logging in as root directly.

To grant an account on FreeBSD su access to root, add it to the wheel
group.

PermitRootLogin yes

much easier.

just another stupid myth. simply use good passwords.

having to log through 2 accounts doesn't increase security. actually 
increases mess.

Hi!

I have been seeing a lot of warnings in syslog the last week. Do anyone 
have a tip for where to begin searching for the sinner?

arplookup 0.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network
arplookup 0.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network
arplookup 0.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network
arplookup 0.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network

pinging 0.0.0.0 gives me reply from 192.168.0.1 which is my OpenBSD 
router. The warnings shows up on my FreeBSD server. Nothing on the 
OpenBSD box.

As is, of course, all security in depth.  Hey, if you want everything
riding on one password, more power to you, but you might want to refrain
from using phrases like "stupid myth" unless you've got some hard data
to back them up.

Or a nice little key encrypted with a good pass phrase.  Use ssh-agent
right and you can make things even easier for yourself.

The only mess I can think of is all that logging that forces a bit of
accountability onto all the admins who know the root password.  Of
course, if you're the only admin, I suppose it doesn't really matter.

I think sshd_config in Debian has "PermitRootLogin" to "no" by default (i.e., as part of default installation). It's been a while since I've munged with the default configs (correct me if I am wrong).

The agp aperture size is usually set in the BIOS.  Check your BIOS.

Hi all!

full explanation:
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE (i386)
uid=1001(mak) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),69(network)

installed:
jdk-1.6.0.3p4_1
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_10
javavmwrapper-2.3.2

I'm using zsh so I set JAVA_HOME and PATH of java into in my .zshrc.
java -version:
java 16 jdku3p1 etc etc

Then I insralled netbeans from ports, firstly it warned:
JAVA_HOME should not be defined.

So i removed JAVA_HOME and PATH of java into in my .zshrc, reboot and
reinstalled netbeans.
Installation went fine.

When I try run netbeans:
mak@lo0:~>netbeans
XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Unknown error: 0) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Any ideas?

I may be not thinking straight due to a head cold- in which case just

attempts to find Imagemagick folder in the work folder but cannot do so.
I ran ls but all it has is .extract.imagemagick._usr_local or the like
(the exact message is on another system atm).

All I want is to install lives, but this has killed that. Any ideas what
I can do? Or is this something to send to the ports list? Time is of the
essence here, so thats why I thought somebody here might be able to find
a workaround so I can continue for now and post to ports later.

Your older computer probably doesn't support booting from CD.  You can  get 
a third party BIOS to upgrade your system.  Or create boot floppies to 
start the install.

Once you get a version installed keep it up to date using cvsup or the new 
binary update utility.

Sounds like you have 0.0.0.0 configured on an ethernet  interface.  I would 
check all your systems, and be sure it isn't used.

This is exactly the same error message I get whenever I attempt to run any 
graphical java application on FreeBSD 7 using the diablo port.  Between 
the diablo binaries and my Nvidia drivers, I'm relying on so many 
different compatibility layers and hacks that it's just too much.

Installing jdk-1.6 and forcing my java applications to point to 
/usr/local/jdk1.6.0 instead of /usr/local/diablo* fixed the problem for 
me.

So, I suspect that netbeans is still looking at the diablo java.
Maybe there's a configuration option somewhere?
If netbeans copies the java engine or contains its own, then I bet it's 
using diablo because that's the dependency that the port lists.
I've not used netbeans on FreeBSD, so I don't know.

Hi,

It could be a possibility, but I haven't touched anything in the BIOS. I've
just upgraded my 6.2-RELEASE-p9 to 7.0-RELEASE from source. Besides, I was
not geting that error when using 6.2. Apparently, it's something related to
FreeBSD rather than my BIOS.

Thanks :)

Do you mean update the ports tree? This is a relatively new install of
6.3 (last week or so) with a minimal distro and no ports tree installed
at the time. I run portsnap manually after install nowadays so that the
latest and greatest is installed from the start. I'll try updating, but
pkg_version -v seems up to date so I doubt very much it'll make a diff.

I uninstalled, recompiled the Ports. Hopefully, this error won't occur
again. Thanks.

Ok then, it must be a 6.3 issue. I ran portsnap update and the tree is
up to date as I thought. The error is a weird one- the patch looking for
a directory that isn't there, why would there be a Imagemagick directory
under the work directory? And where are all the source files for the
build which should be under the work directory? Instead just an empty
file named .extract_done.imagemagick._usr_local.

I've also looked under /usr/local but I can't find anything there
either.

Update your ports tree. The current version in ports is 6.4.1.0. There
have been some problems with 6.4.0.7, see

You'll have to excuse me- I'm not usually such a dunderhead- but how do
I go about that? I ran portsnap update and it says the tree is up to
date.

you must use

portsnap fetch update

from the man portsnap:
update       Update a ports tree extracted using the extract command.
                  You must run this command to apply changes to your ports
                  tree after downloading updates via the *fetch* or cron
com-
                  mands.  Again, note that in the parts of the ports tree
                  which are being updated, any local changes or additions
will
                  be removed.

all the best V

You have to get updates before you can apply them. So use:

    portsnap fetch update

I told you I wasn't with it. Of course that works now... I've updated
AND installed imagemagick. I use portsnap fetch then portsnap update
usually- but of course I forgot the first step in my foggy brain.

Thanks for your patience guys

Sounds like a problem with your partitioning or boot manager installation.
Being a noob with FreeBSD surely doesn't help when you're trying to install
it in a completely experimental way!

I'd advise setting up FreeBSD on a completely blank hard drive using the
exact same steps you used to set it up in the Hyper-V. If it works, then
you'll know it's a problem with the virtualization.

Of course, always check out any wikis or forums about installing different
OSes on the Hyper-V - someone out there is bound to have tried doing the
same thing as you.

Subject: kernel panic FreeBSD 7.0 - Xorg
Message-ID: <200805121251.26443.cblasius@gmail.com>

Hello!

I decide to go on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. Before I used 6.3-RELEASE.
But now I cannot get working Xorg. I almost get the kernel panic.
I install fresh 7.0-RELEASE and update ports by portsnam and everything 
compiled by ports system. After instalign 'xorg' ports I do the following 
steps as root:

Xorg -configure
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

and I got black monitor and after few seconds the system reboots. 
Then I go to single user and do 

fsck -p

(Similar was when I logon as root and typed "startx")

After that, I boot the system and I saw on the monitor the following (the 
exactly output is in file messages attached in this e-mail):

savecore: reboot after panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr: e56e8000
savecore: writing core to vmcore.2


and then I examine the file "xorg.conf.org" (I attached the file) and I saw 
that I have there the following line: 
Driver      "radeon"

In FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE I had there
Driver      "ati"
so I change it to "ati" and do

X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

but with no result - kernel panic again.

What going on here?

After fsck -p i decide to use "vesa" driver.  I could only obtain the 
resolution "1024x678", but my monitor use "1280x1024". I have the following 
monitor: Philips 190P 

Could someone help me, please?
If you need more information I send it to you.
Thank you in advance.

Here are additional information:
# uname -a
FreeBSD komp1.dom 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 
2008     root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I have the following motherboard: A-7N400SL F5 (from first screen after 
computer started) and also 3/29/2005-nVidia-nForce-6AG1BG0QC-00.

The attached files:
1. messages (from /var/log/messages)
2. xorg.conf.new (from /root/xorg.conf.new)

Thank you in advance for any help and I'm sorry for my English.

Best wishes,
Zbigniew

Subject: Nagios Apache and FreeBSD
Message-ID: <49637.217.114.136.134.1210590222.squirrel@mail.dsa.es>

Hi to all

I use FreeBSD 6.2

I have installed Nagios from ports and configured and also as required by
Nagios Apache22

The problem I have is that I cannot access the server by web, in order to
see the Nagios frontend doing

http://mynagiosIP/nagios

doesn't work

I suspect that maybe as I use inetd I must put somewhere in inetd.conf
something about apache, is true?

I have
nagios_enable=YES and apache_enable=YES
in rc.conf

also I test and start nagios and apache manually and I don't get any error
message or misconfiguration.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

You didn't say which version of FreeBSD you are trying.

Please try a snapshot of 8-CURRENT (from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/) to see if anything
changes. There have been improvements to the boot loader recently.

Much difficult and bad advise for a person who has said he's novice!
Don't do this again or I'll ban you from the list! :-)

it's actually best advice. read below.

i will say what i think. including my opinion about being novice and using 
windows. simply - as long as one is using windows, or any "easy 
environment" in unix he/she will be novice forever.

i know HUNDREDS of people that "learns FreeBSD" or "learns linux". they 
learns years without any progress. actually it's just to show all friends 
how big "expert" he/she is.

Do you have the access rights to see the nagios directory?

Please be more precise.  Does http://mynagiosIP/ work?  When you try
http://mynagiosIP/nagios does the browser time out, or do you get an
error response, if so which one?  Or do you get another web page that
has nothing to do with Nagios?

No.

Did you configure apache at all after you installed it?  If so, what did
you do?

Hello list,

I have a motherboard with an Intel SRCZCR chipset. It works fine with
the iir driver, but I wondered how could I check the status of the
card/disks as Storcon is not available for FreeBSD > 4.x (I run 7.0) ?

Thanks,

apache22_enable=YES

Please look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 for params to put in
/etc/rc.conf

then try /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start

Subject: telnet to mail server from outside does not get 220, telnet from
 inside works
Message-ID: <BLU116-W309DE8D93C9B937FFF824AA1CC0@phx.gbl>


Is there something I need to configure in telnetd or sendmail to allow 'outside' IP addresses to telnet to the mail server and get a 220 response?

When I 'telnet localhost 25' i get:

email# telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.xxxxxxxxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 email.xxxxxxxxx.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Mon, 12 May 2008 10:01:39 -0400 (EDT)



But if I try the same thing from 'outside' the firewall I get:

%telnet email.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com 25
Trying 67.x.x.x...
Connected to email.xxxxxxxxxxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.



Certain servers are having problems sending to the server because they are not getting a 220 code back.  Most email is sent/received from the server no problem.  It has been running in production for over a year.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

Why would you do that? If you haven't changed the hardware, there is no
need to change xorg.conf.

Check the X logfile (/var/log/Xorg.0.log). Any clues in there?

This can also help you debug. Load it up in the kernel debugger;

  kgdb /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols vmcore.2

Then inside the debugger, give the 'bt' command.

What kind of graphics card do you have? What does 'pciconf -lv' say?

If you are installing FreeBSD on a machine, then the easiest thing
to do is just check source when you are selecting those things to
install.    That will install the entire source for FreeBSD in /usr/src/...

The ports is a separate thing.   You probably do not want to install
the entire source for everything in the ports tree.   That changes
constantly anyway.    Just install the ports tree and then csup it
to update it to the latest.   Then, you can get any port source you want
by going to /usr/ports/whatever and downloading it from there.
Downloading the source for a port can be very complicated because
many of the ports have lots of dependancies which cause other ports
to be pulled in.   That is all handled by the make files in the 
ports tree.    So, if you download, build and install a port by
going to it in the ports tree and typing 
  make clean
  make 
  make install
  make clean

It will download the necessary sources, including the dependancies,
build them and install them.   The sources will be left in the
ports tree source files.

Hi all,

Today I found out at the Ubuntu website about Ubuntu SUpport Points (sorry, this is a translation from dutch)
I think this is a very good idea and I wondered if maybe we could set up a cross-platform project for this.

For example, I am using Gentoo, FreeBSD, Debian, ... I want to help people with these but this is only for Ubuntu.

Are any people interested in starting such a project?

Subject: installing php4 and php5 on one machine
Message-ID: <48285A2D.2000804@lc-words.com>

Hi there,

I am using FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p1. The machine has PHP 5.2.6 with 
Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli). We're going to host one of our sites which 
currently is hosted by our ISP. This site requires php4 to work before 
it gets rewritten or dumped. Anyway, my current BSD machine is a 
dedicated one so I can do with it what I like but I am not really sure 
how to go about installing two versions of php. php5 has been installed 
from ports and works well.

How would you advise me to go about installing php4? I do not think I 
will be able to do it from ports (it will require an ancient version of 
php 4.10). Also I do not want to mix dependencies and such. Another 
issue is how to host the site. Use a different port for it (*:8080)? Use 
jails (never been in jail so no experience with it so far ;)?

I do have several IPs to play with so I can use them if that helps.

I'd appreciate your opinion about it. Many thanks to you all in advance!

Have you checked to see what your mail logs say about those connection  
attempts?

The maillog only has the line like:
May 12 11:20:14 email sm-mta[66223]: m4CFKEuB066223: [69.245.x.x] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to IPv4

which is the same thing i get when i do the telnet XXXX 25 from a machine that's on the same network (that gets the 220)

May 12 11:20:52 email sm-mta[66314]: m4CFKfiJ066314: [10.0.60.60] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to IPv4

Is there something for the telnet daemon, or the sendmail daemon that restricts telnet access to just the subnet its on?  i.e 10.* network?

That looks like TCP wrappers dropping the connection. Have you checked
/etc/hosts.{allow,deny}? man 5 hosts_access for details.

Hi,

Setting up JAVA_HOME correctly, helped for me:

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/local/jdk1.6.0

Nothing else was needed.

sendmail try to connect to port auth of remote machine. your firewall 
probably blocks it just by dropping packets, so it tries until timeout

telnet from outside, wait few minutes and you will get a prompt.

change your firewall rules to fix it

You get the prize.  

We have a Cisco ASA, and everything works on port 587, but port 25 has cisco's 'Application Inspection' or something that I need to figure out how to turn off.

Thanks for the attention.

Correction, if you are at the phase of installing the port, then yes, 
unsetting $JAVA_HOME was the only way for me to install the port.

is there an option in dhclient (or other program) to try getting IP

i mean something to just check for dhcp servers.

or maybe something that just detects what DHCP servers are available.

See "Supported Guest OS on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V"[0]. As far as I
know Microsoft made modifications in the guest kernel. Thats why in
unix-like world only Microsoft partner Novell is supported.

The main issue here is: Which php would you want Apache to refer to, and at
what time? Honestly, I  don't have an answer for this!.
Perhaps you have to run a whole different system within a jail:-(
There may be an easier way, but when I read this, that is where my /etc (end
of thinking capacity) got me for now.

Why not just use the  final version of php-4.x.x? Even this breaks your
site?

Instead of just

$ su

do this:

$ su - root

This will give you only root's environment. Then do your startup  
command for apache.

I just tried to install imagemagick from ports myself and it installed fine maybe it's a 6.3 issue since I m on 7.0 or your ports is out of date considering here the imagemagick port installs ImageMagick-6.4.1.0

I simply download the iso file for boot only: 
7.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso

Then burn on CD and then install fresh 7.0-RELEASE on hard disk - minimal 
system. Next I used portsnap to download ports:
portsnap fetch
[...]

Then go to /usr/ports/x11/xorg and:
make install clean

After that, when I log as normal user and typed:
startx

got the first kernel panic. Then I used:
Xorg -configure
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

and again I got kernel panic, and also as mention previous, for drivers "ati" 
and "radeon", too.

Because I hadn't the old version xorg.conf from 6.3. I simply format these 
partitions and forgotten make a backup of "/etc" especially "/etc/X11".

I do obtain nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I only obtain result when I 
use "vesa" driver and it is about 10 kB text. But there no any errors form 
the "vesa" drivers. From the drivers "radon" or "ati" nothing was written, 
because was kernel panic.

Now I have vmcore.8

I coudn't do that because I obtain the following information (I do not 
remember exactly)
Couldn't find file vmcore.2 

I went to the "/boot/kernel/" and there really no such file.

I have: Radeon 9200 SE Series'. It is correctly recognized in xorg.conf.new, 
but if I remember in 6.3 the driver was "ati" for such card not "radeon".

In file: "/var/log/dmesg.today" I found at the end  of file the following 
entries:
pid 23201 (conftest), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
pid 34580 (conftest), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)

This was when I run "startx" as normal user without file "xorg.conf" 
in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". So the Xorg server must such file generated on the 
fly - and the result of course was kernel panic. 

Why Xorg do kernel panic? 

What I doing wrong? 
Any hints will be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Message-ID: <C1DFB4E8F62B503C9A829107@utd65257.utdallas.edu>

I created a small list of IPs that I wanted to do digs on (because I'm lazy and 
don't want to do them one at a time.)

I then wrote the following on the commandline:

% dig +short -x `cat iplist`

The results was an answer for the first line only.

So, I thought read line would do the trick.  I tried this:

% dig +short -x `(read line; echo $line; while read line; do echo $line; done) 
< iplist`

Same result.

I even tried:

% dig +short -s `cat iplist | awk '{print $1}'`

Same result.  (Yes, I know, why do twice the work to get the same answer, but I 
was desperate.)

WTF?  Why do these utilities, which usually read all the lines in a file now 
only work once when run through dig?  Is there a way to feed dig a list of IPs 
and have it return each and every one of them?

I tried dig +short -x -f iplist, but that returns nothing at all.

Sure, I can edit the file and prepend +short -x to each line, but by then I 
might as well just do them individually.

What am I missing?

Never mind.

This worked.

(read line; dig +short -x `echo $line`; while read line; do dig +short -x `echo

The dig which comes with BIND 9 supports doing multiple queries; older  
versions of dig apparently will only do a single query.  Try doing  
"dig -f iplist" for batch-mode multiple queries, but trying to feed  
other options (like +short) will cause it to not output anything when  
I just tested.

(The command-line argument handling of this utility is wildly  
nonstandard and sometimes plainly broken, IMO....)

Why not:

for ips in `cat iplist`
do
     dig +short -x $ips
done

For loops are your friend.


I'd do something like:

for i in `cat iplist`
 do dig +short -x $I
done

All,

I seem to recall discussion of this sort of program recently, but
can't remember where.

I've got some mobile remote users who could use support (they're on
Windows laptops) and would like to set something up like this.

Does anyone know of something like this?

Thanks,

The largely undocumented dhclient_exit|enter_hooks are suitable for this. Look 
at the source of /sbin/dhclient-script.
In short, if you set exit_status to non-zero in /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks, 
nothing will be set. Some environment variables will be available to you, 
among which should be the ip of the dhcp server that responded. If you simply 
dump the env to stdout, you will see things available.

Jail for sure.

Yep, add an IP alias to the external interface, build the jail on that and 
you're pretty much done (DNS of course being the missing link).
There's tools like ezjail in ports, but imo that's more for people who build 
jails on a regular basis. Also, it is a good idea to do it by hand at least 
once, so you get a feel for the process and know what's going on underneath 
the ezjail magic.

Believe it or not, the manpage for jail(8) contains a section with the 
commands to setup a jail from scratch and touches on all the variables 
required to have it started upon boot.

There's more then one reason to do this in a jail. First of all, you can 
seperate the php versions, something that's not supported by the ports 
system.
Secondly, you can add a second jail where you're going to work the migration 
on. Once satisfied, you bring them both down, change ip of the new version 
and wait for bug reports. If it looks like there's too many bugs, you still 
have the old version available and you can switch the ip's back. You can do 
this as often as you want, till everything looks good.
Thirdly, the cost in memory usage for a jail is negligable compared to the 
above gains, especially since it will primarily run apache (cron and sshd 
being the most common other programs).

Did you do a 'portsnap extract' as well? Fetching alone isn't enough.

You should definitely use the radeon driver for this hardware.

Saved cores are kept in /var/crash by default. See "dumpdir" in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf. Try

  kgdb /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols /var/crash/vmcore.8

Hmm. Signal 12 is "non-existant system call invoked". That's one I've

It has access to system internals via /dev/mem and /dev/io. So it can
potentially screw things up pretty badly.

It might also be a hardware problem. Testing the RAM would be a good
place to start.

While you may not have changed anything, I would verify the setting in your 
BIOS and possibly try a different setting.  Most BIOS allow only for 2-3 
settings.  It may be you have a non-standard setting and the loader is 
seeing that as 0.

You may want to do traceroutes from the systems that do find the 0.0.0.0 
interface.  I would bet you have a default route and/or netmask sending the 
traffic.  You will get those arp messages if you run two different 
interfaces on the same system, on the same subnet (not to be confused with 
running multiple IP's on an interface.)  Arp tries to tie an IP address to 
a machine address, but if the reverse routing isn't correct you will see 
these error messages.

A tip from George Davidovich setting the aliases to use netmask to 
0xffffffff seems to fix the problem.

And here comes my question. Can the php5 installation be left intact and 
   php4 be built in a jail? And finally, would I also need to build 
another instance of apache in jail?

Thank you again!

After some digging it looks like vm.kmem_size* are the loader tunables you're 
looking for. See loader(8) for a description.

However, does it make sense to have this much kernel memory? What is it caused 
by? mbufs? If you dump netstat -m periodically from cron, is that where the 
memory is going?

Subject: Automounting USB pen drives
Message-ID: <6fec50390805121354p41392964sd3fdebdf4b2640a7@mail.gmail.com>

I understand that when I plug in a USB drive to my 7.0 system, that it
turns up as /dev/da0 or /dav/da1 etc.

I'd like to work towards a nice automount script that shows the drive
on my desktop, KDE.

Could anyone point me at where I need to edit/make changes - is this
just in /etc/fstab?

I'd like to get it so it is seamless, just plug the USB device in and it mounts.

It's generated by some configure script (conftest), normally nothing to worry 
about. It's easy to get if you have a jail 'running' 6.x and you haven't set 
OSREL and/or UNAME_R correctly. Also, some configure scripts just try to 
invoke linux/posix/apple_syscall_foo to see if it's there.

Yes. I build ports for 6.x machines, on a 7.x machine in a jail. So you can 
seperate it perfectly.

Yes. You basically create a seperate FreeBSD installation, without the kernel. 
Complete with devfs and seperate user accounts. It is better to start this 
way and if you get paranoid about all the things running, it is easy to 
remove things one by one till it stops working ;)

Yes of course. I first use 'portsnap update', but the portsnap told me that 
the ports was not created by portsnap and gave me what to do next. So I do it 
and everythings go on succesfull after that.

I use on this computer also "Debian lenny" and everythings works well also 
Xorg. But in xorg.conf on Debian I have "ati" driver not "radeon".
The Xorg have the following version on Debian:

X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90

It is strange why on Debian it works but here not?

Just a quick note, we survived the day in good form. The servers have 
dropped their load numbers by 50% under a heavy load and by 80% under a 
normal load. More importantly, Nagios shows that SMTP is always 
responding and the load balancers are now showing a max of 34 active 
connections on each server where before they were showing 350+. 
Connections are opening and closing far far quicker.

machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1 has been added to /etc/sysctl.conf

On a related note, I met Chuck back in 1999 in Seattle at a SeaFug 
meeting. I doubt he remembers me but he and John Polstra coached me 
through changing from a Mac Admin to a BSD admin. I've read Chuck's 
posts on multiple maillists that we both have, or do, share 
subscriptions to. Chuck, you are always helpful, never mean, and you 
encourage detective work to identify a problem rather than recite the 
"upgrade" mantra. Your knowledge has helped countless people over the 
years, including me. I appreciate that.

If you have a wish list, I can't find it. I would sure like to buy you a 
CD or something since I can't buy you a beer.

Thank you for your time, thanks to everyone on the list for their time.

Yes aliases should have a netmask of 255.255.255.255

Well, you're most welcome.  If you ever show up for one of the Apple

I don't know which program you're refering to, but you might want to take a 
look at OpenMeetings (code.google.com/p/openmeetings/).  IMHO, the install's 
a little tough.

Subject: Help compiling source code
Message-ID: <50602.74.170.92.99.1210629669.squirrel@grinzport.grinz.com>

I am a longtime FreeBSD user accustomed to ports. I have never been
comfortable compiling source code except under the most vanilla of
circumstances (ie, when nothing goes wrong).

QUESTION: How can I change pam-pgsql's configure script to find pgsql's
libraries?

The machine in question is a Powerbook G4 (PowerPC) running Mac OS 10.4.11.

I am using MacPorts (equivalent of ports). One small piece of software
(available in FreeBSD ports) is a lynchpin of my entire operation -
pam-pgsql.

Pam-pgsql gives me virtual email users which are easily shared between
Postfix and Cyrus IMAP while letting me use my SQL backend of preference -
PostgreSQL.

There is no macport available for pam-pgsql, so I must compile the source
myself. It is not working. My hunch is that the fix is simple - something
with paths, because macports installs PostgreSQL at weird paths and the
pam-pgsql configure script expects a standard location.

I already tried changing /usr to /opt in configure.in, that didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Help compiling source code
Message-ID: <50603.74.170.92.99.1210629662.squirrel@grinzport.grinz.com>

I am a longtime FreeBSD user accustomed to ports. I have never been
comfortable compiling source code except under the most vanilla of
circumstances (ie, when nothing goes wrong).

QUESTION: How can I change pam-pgsql's configure script to find pgsql's
libraries?

The machine in question is a Powerbook G4 (PowerPC) running Mac OS 10.4.11.

I am using MacPorts (equivalent of ports). One small piece of software
(available in FreeBSD ports) is a lynchpin of my entire operation -
pam-pgsql.

Pam-pgsql gives me virtual email users which are easily shared between
Postfix and Cyrus IMAP while letting me use my SQL backend of preference -
PostgreSQL.

There is no macport available for pam-pgsql, so I must compile the source
myself. It is not working. My hunch is that the fix is simple - something
with paths, because macports installs PostgreSQL at weird paths and the
pam-pgsql configure script expects a standard location.

## /opt/local/src/pam-pgsql/configure.in

Subject: Imagemagick port seems broken - jp2.c patch fails

Just as a best practice you might want to consider running a weekly cvsup
out of cron.
You should probably always run it before installing anything out of ports,
but if you have it as a weekly scheduled task, it will decrease the time it
takes to run when you ?need? to run it.

Of course portsnap also rocks the party. I?m just old school and stuck in
cvsup land.

I suspect that what you are looking for is something that is just looking
for DHCP traffic, but doesn?t actually grab a lease.

I don?t think that there is a current port for this but this program
http://dhcp-agent.sourceforge.net/
 but dhcp-agent alleges to have  a sniffer option.
http://dhcp-agent.sourceforge.net/man/dhcp-sniff.1.html
I haven?t used it but I recall stumbling upon this a while back when I was
looking for the same.

If you try it out, let me know if it works.

By testing, do you mean -CURRENT? What tag are you using in your 
supfile?

As for the mailing list, this is a reasonable place to start. If you 
don't get a solution here, maybe try multimedia for the gstreamer 
problems. There does seem to be a kde-specific mailing list; see 
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd, and also
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL 
for the full list of lists. (URL may have wrapped.)

> Sound card is no longer detected.

Maybe since upgrading you are no longer loading whatever kernel module 
it is that the card requires. You can

# kldload sound.ko

...to load all sound modules, for the purpose of finding out which one 
you need. BTW, what make and model sound card is it? Also please post 
the output of the following commands:

$ uname -a
$ dmesg | grep ^pcm
$ pciconf -lv
$ kldstat

> DCOP server for KDE3 does not start. KDE hangs and has to be shut does

These seem like issues with X and/or KDE. Are you able to run some other 
window manager, e.g. twm?

> Gnome-audio gstreamer trouble.

There were some notes recently about gstreamer in /usr/ports/UPDATING; 
look there. If you can be (a lot) more specific about the problem, 
someone here may well be able to help. That is, tell us what you were 
trying to do, what command you issued, what result you expected, and 
what result you got.

HTH.

I am about to install FreeBSD at a new job. They block ftp, along with most 
other ports.

I may be able to get a whole open for the freebsd server to be able to ftp 
from some specific machines. Any suggestions what machines I should add to 
the list?

For programs I know about I plan to do "make fetch-recursive" at home and 
then copy the /usr/ports/distfile directory.

 Hallo,

 I got some problem here, these are the example of the rules i've set:


 portlim="20-21,80,88,443,2009,8080,8088,10007,18755"
 bwunlimit="64Kbit/s"


 ${fwcmd} pipe 1 config bw ${bwunlimit}

 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 10.35.4.1/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 122.102.49.132/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 125.163.77.180/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 192.168.0.100/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.10.32.10/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.129.189.42/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.129.189.45/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.43.161.119/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.43.161.124/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.43.167.70/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.43.167.72/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.93.20.22/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.93.20.23/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.93.20.24/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.93.247.26/32 1
 ${fwcmd} table 1 add 202.93.247.28/32 1

 ${fwcmd} add 100 pipe tablearg ip from ${ippriviix} to not "table(1)"
 ${portlim} via ${ifint0}
 ${fwcmd} add 101 pipe tablearg ip from not "table(1)" ${portlim} to
 ${ippriviix} via ${ifint0}

 As a result, those ip addresses can pass. But any other ip adresses
 (other than) those above could not be accessed, as if it were blocked.
 My intention is to limit (NOT blocking) any other ip addresses (other
 than) those ip's above. How could i use the 'not' keyword for above
 case ?

 Thank You

You mean FTP *to* (and not "from") specific machines, right?  And what 
about HTTP?  If you look in just a few Makefiles, you'll notice that 
MASTER_SITES vary with each port (CPAN, SF and a few others might appear 
often), so unless you know exactly which ports you will install, this will 
be tough.  For example, see output of:

   % find /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/ -name Makefile | xargs egrep MASTER_SITE

are you sure what you say.

kldload sound.ko loads common sound drivers code, not all modules


kldload /boot/kernel/snd_* would do what you've said

after this - look at logs what module actually fit, and then add

snd_<something>_load="YES"

to /boot/loader.conf to have it loaded every boot.

icewm is very good for those who like somehow windows looking, but only

Yes. You are right. I tested my memory with 'memtest' and got one error:

So, I will buy new memory.

Thanks Kris - trouble is its already there!

glynthebearded# kldload linux
kldload: can't load linux: File exists

(via rc.conf)

Is it possible to use libmap.conf to persuade  a Linbux binary to use a
Linux library, or is that not the way to go?

No, that is not necessary.  Next thing to check is that /usr/X11R6 is 
before /usr/local in your linux ldconfig search path.

Woot, its back up.

The problem was cups.

I never used cups before, but for some reason now I have to start cups up
so that samba can work.
