I have just recently installed freebsd on an old amdk6 533mhz ibm computer. I am not running x-windows and have tried to run sysctl kern.timecounter.method=1 as suggested on a number of web pages but that returns an error of unknown oid 'kern.timecounter.method'. I am running 5.2.1 release but this problem also exists with earlier releases of freebsd. Any help would be appreciated as I am very new to freebsd and wanting to learn more about it.

(Or some other creative interpretation of the acronym.) When you see the term "foo bar" it means something is seriously messed up. http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci748437,00.html Tom From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Mar 8 01:18:15 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 037E216A4CE for ; Mon, 8 Mar 2004 01:18:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from fidel.freesurf.fr (fidel.freesurf.fr [212.43.206.16]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8F4A443D53 for ; Mon, 8 Mar 2004 01:18:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ogautherot@freesurf.fr) Received: from mail.freesurf.fr (mail.freesurf.fr [212.43.206.50]) by fidel.freesurf.fr (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1D2222A4A28; Mon, 8 Mar 2004 10:18:13 +0100 (CET) Received: by mail.freesurf.fr (Postfix, from userid 5000) id 0B3CC6B8CB; Mon, 8 Mar 2004 10:18:11 +0100 (CET) References: <404C25F3.6070807@muenster.de> In-Reply-To: <404C25F3.6070807@muenster.de> From: ogautherot@freesurf.fr To: Sven Hohage Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2004 09:18:10 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Sender: ogautherot@freesurf.fr Message-Id: <20040308091811.0B3CC6B8CB@mail.freesurf.fr> cc: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Router with one ethernet card X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2004 09:18:15 -0000 Hi Sven! In essence, yes. Just make sure that your machine forwards its connection (see sysinstall, network configuration - gateway operation), then install BIND9 and a DHCP server and you're on. You will have to edit the config files but the comments are very well done - you can get your LAN hooked up in less than an hour, all included. If you need help, just le me know: I did it to share our ADSL connection (Ethernet modem). You can also install a firewall (ipfw works fine) and allow some services in the DHCP domain only (FTP, etc.) Hope it helps Olivier Sven Hohage écrit: > I've got a Pentium 3 700 with Freebsd 5.2 and one 3com ethernet card. > Actually I'm giving Internet access to him through windows ics. > > Is it possible to use the Freebsd box as a gateway to the Internet > without upgrading to a second ethernet card? > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Mar 8 03:09:37 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6920E16A4CE for ; Mon, 8 Mar 2004 03:09:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from client3.hv-ywh.com (client3.hv-ywh.com [209.239.35.134]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D929643D1D for ; Mon, 8 Mar 2004 03:09:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from webmaster@cheapbytes.com) Received: (from cbmaster@localhost) by client3.hv-ywh.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) id i28B9aiY009316; Mon, 8 Mar 2004 06:09:36 -0500 Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2004 06:09:36 -0500 From: webmaster@cheapbytes.com Message-Id: <200403081109.i28B9aiY009316@client3.hv-ywh.com> X-Authentication-Warning: client3.hv-ywh.com: cbmaster set sender to webmaster@cheapbytes.com using -f To: FreeBSD-Newbies@FreeBSD.org References: In-Reply-To: X-Loop: default@cheapbytes.com Precedence: junk Subject: Re: Hey, ya! =)) X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2004 11:09:37 -0000 This is an autoresponder.

Hi David, Welcome to FreeBSD ;-) The charter for this group precludes anwsering technical questions. Technical issues should be directed to freebsd-questions. Many of the experienced users don't read this list and they can provide the best answers. We don't want to be newbies leading newbies here. That being said, I'd like to point you to the Handbook section on updating: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Follow the instructions there and if there is anything that is not clear or you have questions about, just email freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org . I'm sure you'll find people willing to help.

Albeit not always with the same error, sometimes with a panic: ohci_add_done addr not found ... just now with a Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault code = supervisor read, page not present I'll have to investigate further on that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- However when I do above on a P4Mobile (the machine I'm writing on atm), I have no problems. I have this info from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Specifically: It is now possible to specify a -j option to make which will cause it to spawn several simultaneous processes. This is most useful on multi-CPU machines. However, since much of the compiling process is IO bound rather than CPU bound it is also useful on single CPU machines. On a typical single-CPU machine you would run: # make -j4 buildworld make(1) will then have up to 4 processes running at any one time. Empirical evidence posted to the mailing lists shows this generally gives the best performance benefit. If you have a multi-CPU machine and you are using an SMP configured kernel try values between 6 and 10 and see how they speed things up. Be aware that this is still somewhat experimental, and commits to the source tree may occasionally break this feature. If the world fails to compile using this parameter try again without it before you report any problems. Regards, Lars.

I am very new at this. Following the instructions to create a virtual user for vsftpd service, I read that I must have the Berkeley DB program installed in order to run "db_load -T -t hash -f file.nam /etc/vsftpd_login.db" but when I tried to run the string, I get "db_load: command not found" if I try to run "db3_load.........." I get a message that reads "usage: db_load........" pkg_info shows that I have db3-3.3.11,1 installed along with vsftpd-1.1.3. I reinstalled both ports just to verify that they were indeed installed. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks.

It is also available at http://people.freebsd.org/~sue/newbies/fak.html FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. We can help people to use the FreeBSD mailing lists and resources, or to interact more productively with the broader FreeBSD community. These are not support questions, and not technical, so we deal with them here. Everyone can help with these new user orientation requests. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ Mailing list membership To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Use the easy form at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies to subscribe to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list, or to change your subscription details if you are already a member.

I just discovered Nmap thanks to my interest in porn and the guys in one of the Freebsd chat rooms. I downloaded it via the ports tree and followed the models instructions and scanned my network. It found all my wild wild west hardware and identified the OS's on them and I discovered a new BSD Box on my network I didn't know was there. BSDI BSD/OS 2.0 - 3.0 at 192.168.2.1 I've played with NetBSD that little brother runs on anything.. and I've got my FreeBSD on my Intel machines.... I've never bought a BSDI's BSD/OS to install on anything . This is my router.I discovered only after I opened Mozilla and hit the link to my router and looked at the ip in the address field because I just knew I was hacked and had to read those logs. I've come to the conclusion that in every router must be a Single board computer running some kind of OS and for stability it's got to be a BSD. They stay up forever and receive very little if any maintaince. Well at least mine doesn't because I can't really get to a command line and tinker. After doing a quick web search I found out that 2.0 - 3.0 is old the newest BSD/OS version is 5.1. So a quick we search at where I saw the model and found a list of exploits for all OS's. Ok.. old OS most likely dated firewall software that I really can't configure means it's time for a SBC to act as a router. I'm starting a new project and Learning a lot more about firewalls.

My ports tree was updated on February 28th: $more /usr/ports/security/nessus/Makefile | grep PORTVERSION= PORTVERSION= 2.0.10a So you can see that the tree is actually "even" with the master site's version information. You probably need to update your ports tree. You probably should investigate cvsup, which is described in chapter 21 in reference to FreeBSD source code; by using cvsup in combination with a "ports-supfile" (see /usr/share/examples/cvsup/) you can update your ports tree and have newer skeletons. You can read about "portupgrade" in the handbook, section 4.5.5; it's useful for updating old ports that are already installed. HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.
