You DON'T want to do what you think you want to do. :-) Here is what you DO want to do: uplink/uplinks from providers | | ------------------------------ | FreeBSD system | | | | nic1 nic2 nic3 | ------------------------------ | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------ | Big, fat 100BaseT switch | | | | cust1 cust2 cust3 cust4 cust5 cust6 ... | ------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | Hopefully, you can see what's going on here with the ASCII art. Let's say, for example, that your default allocation to customers is a /29. A possible example might be: FreeBSD System nic1 cust1 subnet 192.168.1.0/29 cust2 subnet 192.168.1.8/29 cust3 subnet 192.168.1.16/29 nic2 cust4 subnet 192.168.1.24/19 cust5 subnet 192.168.1.32/29 .... Now, you don't need to use nic1, nic2, nic3 on the FreeBSD system, this is purely dependent on what the average bandwidth you are feeding, you might want to just use a single nic to the switch. Since you are saying 40-60Mbts total, then a single 100BaseT nic in the FreeBSD system should do the trick. But, the point is that you want all the customers coming into the switch, and you want to alias multiple subnets on the ethernet interface/interfaces from the FreeBSD system. Your thinking 1 physical interface on the FreeBSD system per subnet, (because obviously you have 1 subnet per customer) You need to unlearn and start thinking of multiple virtual interfaces on each physical interface. Let the switch provide the multiple physical interfaces, that is what it's designed for. If you get a good switch you can even program MAC filters in it that will block traffic from customer port to customer port, if your afraid one of your customers is going to be a smartass and run a sniffer. If you start thinking of how you might setup redundancy you will see how quickly that stacking large numbers of physical interfaces in the FreeBSD system is going to make a spare router (in my opinion, a necessity in this setup) very expensive to implement.

Not a one. The only time I did a clean reinstall was when I lost my master HD. I had things broken up too much and reconfigured my entire disk structure at the same time. When I upgraded to 4.0-release, I uzi'ed both feet. Two of us did the same dumb thing and it wasn't too long until Warner had added an additional comment about the kernel config. I don't know if the change was related but you wouldn't make the same mistake that we did. Even that bungled upgrade didn't lose anything but I did a binary upgrade from floppies. This wasn't a negative direction like you need to go. Most files you can back up. I always have a copy of .../distfiles on several computers. I back up /etc before I get carried away with things. I hardly ever use my base /usr for work. I have /usr[1-4] for that purpose. My Apache www/data is on /usr2/data. I got tired of updating and having to redo things. I come back in and relink.

Secondly: "build DRI kernel modules", are the dri-kernel modules only build or are they installed as well? FreeBSD sure is at great OS... but boy, the documentation are often incomplete, hard to get by or even wrong and contradictory at times.

Hi, Excuse me for interferring, but the issue is interesting to me too. I'v installed the programs named above in that order from the CDROM #2 with /stand/sysinstall. I have FreeBSD 4.1. GS seems to start alright. But I can't "run" SETUP! Command not found! Isn't that supposed to be a perl-script or something? There isn't much of help in the readmes. They say SETUP have to be run from the apsfilter installation directory. Which one is that? I've tried to run it from the directory where the SETUP is, /usr/local/apsfilter/ Anybody know?

How on earth does this work? There's really only two things you need to do: setup the 2nd mail server, and then update your DNS Zone. First, you need to setup the secondary mail server, so that it will relay mails to the primary. With sendmail, this means puting the following line into /etc/mail/mailertable: your-domain.com smtp:[primary.mail.server.com] This tells it to send all "@your-domain.com" mails to the primary server (The [] brackets mean that the mail should be directly sent to the primary mail server, ignoring any DNS MX records.) The secondary mail server should also be setup to RELAY your-domain.com. Before you update your DNS records, you can test your secondary server by sending mail from there or telneting directly to port 25 and seeing if it will relay mail to your primary server. If that works, you just have to update your DNS zone with a second MX entry, like: your-domain.com. MX 10 primary.mail.server.com. your-domain.com. MX 20 secondary.mail.server.com. The "10" and "20" are preferences -- the lower the number, the more prefered, i.e. other mail servers will try the primary first. -Paul.

Sure, FreeBSD can do it, no problem. ...but the OS wouldn't be your problem. Depending on your needs, I would be much more concerned about the hardware. Just about anything you buy new today would be fine, but an old 75MHz pentuim with 32MB RAM and a big list of firewall rules doing full BGP peering probably wouldn't cut the mustard. -Paul.

RC.conf stuff: Gateway_enabled=YES Default_Router="0.0.0.0" Do I need to set this value?

Nope. It doesn't have anything really to do with telnet. If a port is open, like smtp (25), then you can connect to it. By "telneting", I just meant connect to the port, but you don't have to use telnet, you could use /usr/ports/net/netcat for example. -Paul.

Yes, that is true. Not found in the Handbook Documentation at freebsd.org though... I did find that tip at a different web site. Also, there seems to be some issues about adding just options NETGRAPH to the kernel, versus adding 4 netgraph statements, which is being clarified as well.

I don't know if cdrecord with If burncd can handle DVD discs than no I don't think cdrecord is better. Do DVD-ATAPI burners exist? I actually find burncd's simple commands easier to use than cdrecord. For what I like to do on my burner burncd is all I need. The main problem may be the front-ends that everyone likes on linux won't work with burncd on FBSD. Most if not all of the GUI CD tools in linux use cdrecord. This may be why everyone thinks they need it. So let's write a great GUI for burncd that does everything everyone wants.

In particular, apsfilter is the easiest filter to set up, because the SETUP script does all the work, but the filter proper has a few glitches that can cause things to fail when they shouldn't. In particular, extraneous error messages when printing postscript files on postscript printers, and failing to print ascii text files on some printers. If you run into one of those, magicfilter is fairly simple to install - especially if you've already run the apsfilter SETUP - and doesn't have those problems. > 1. Install gs (ghostscript) from the ports collection The apsfilter port will install this for you - even if you don't need it :-(. If you need something other than the default install - A4 paper, for instance - you should install ghostscript yourself. > 2. Install apsfilter > 3.

For lpd, just run /usr/sbin/lpd as root to start the line printer daemon. That gets you to this state: > Now you can print most files by a simple lpr filename, without > having to worry if they are plain text, PostScript, HTML etc. After you're satisified that the lpd is working - plus anything else that's caused you to modify /etc/rc.conf - you might want to reboot the system just to verify that your changes to rc.conf didn't break the boot sequence. If it did, you'll be dealing with it while the changes are fresh in your mind, not whenever you happen to reboot the system next. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

BLASPHEMY! Man I hope you are not serious. I would take a PowerPC chip over Intel compatible rubbish any day. 128 bit vector procession on the G4 rocks.... Apple has new machines at 733Mhz and it comes with a Gigbit Ethernet card. Not that I can afford the switch to use it but if you are into clustering applications and stuff this system is ideal. I never cared much for the Mac GUI/Environment and found that running linux was the best way to get maximum value out of a Mac. I have heard that FBSD is has PowerPC support on the way. If this is true I'd like to get me an IBM RS/6000 and a Mac to try it out.

The problem is, those front ends turn out to be a hindrance. Every front end I tried was lousier than a simple tcsh prompt (actually, I used bash back then), so I wound up in a shell every time I wanted to burn a disc. Burncd is actually nicer than cdrecord from the prompt, since I don't need to remember the SCSI emulation bus/device info (sometimes the device was 0,0,0, sometimes 0,1,0, or some other choice).

Both are packet based protocols with almost exactly the same commands. I worked with Jens Axboe a bit trying to figure out some strange behavior or the ATAPI drivers. The stuff that didn't work in raw ATAPI the way it should in any linux kernel after 2.2.14 suddenly worked when SCSI emulation was enabled. But I still have to say that since burncd works so well I have no inclination to write such a layer for FBSD.

Sorry I missed the original. The answer is that you probably don't want to add this to any system that's running X. > I seem to understand that the NO_X option is used for removing X > support from those ported programs which can function without X. More accurately, if a port can be built without X support, turning on NO_X should build the version without X support. For instance, you might want ghostscript sans X on a server that's providing printer support. On the other hand, if you do have X, probably want X support. Some programs won't run on a system without the X libraries if built without NO_X, which is really why it exists. > I have always installed X -- most of my software, actually -- via > the ports mechanism.

The only difference between installing via ports and installing via packages is that ports are built in your environment, including whatever you have in /etc/make.conf. Packages are built in a "standard" environment, presumably with no /etc/make.conf. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

The original talk was about Mac OS X, which I'd never run. It's like a BSD that has had its guts rearrange and partially removed, with an interface that insults your intelligence... I like to call it "WannaBSD". I also hear FFS support is buggy, which means you have to put up with that POS filesystem HFS+. I'd run a PowerPC system in a heartbeat if there was a good FreeBSD port (maybe NetBSD is worth a try). I'd especially run one if they'd stop with the damn artsy case designs, and just have a plain looking box. About the vector processing in the G4... I don't believe linux PPC ports support that. I think those ports are pretty rudimentary, so everything that's great about the processor is pretty much useless. Just hope the NetBSD team did better than the linux people... -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 8: 3:10 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtprelay3.adelphia.net (smtprelay3.adelphia.net [64.8.25.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0CAE237B423 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 08:03:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from nturki@adelphia.net) Received: from adelphia.net ([24.50.186.158]) by smtprelay3.adelphia.net (Netscape Messaging Server 4.15) with ESMTP id GC78H403.2MQ for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 11:03:04 -0400 Message-ID: <3AE2F356.43695D08@adelphia.net> Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 11:05:58 -0400 From: Nader Turki X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: wierd!

From the rest of your comments, this sounds like the standard HTTP header "From", which supposedly contains the users email address, and was used by knowledgeable web applications programmers to set the default for email addresses on forms that needed it. Unfortunately, less scrupulous uses were found for it, so NetScape simply turned it off. Other browsers let you enable it if you want, but few people bother using it for anything that actually helps the user, so there's little point in enabling it. It wouldn't surprise me if MS left it on by default. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

According to the rc.conf man page, you should set kern_securelevel_enable to enable it, and kern_securelevel to the value it should be set to. If that's what you did, possibly something else set the secure level elsewhere. You might try grepping for securelevel in /etc/rc* to see if you can find it. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

That's not an issue for SCSI, if i believe what i read. I have no idea what Linux does, but what cdrecord needs isn't SCSI "emulation", it's a way to talk directly to the device that uses the same syscalls as it currently uses to talk to SCSI devices. It's no more an emulation than FreeBSD's Linux ABI support is a linux emulation. FreeBSD already has one such connection in it - the one that cdrecord used to talk to USB devices. Looking through that code, it just does some validity checking, converts the command format, then ships the command off to the USB device in question. Pretty much exactly the same things that the so-called "Linux emulation" does. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

There are no devices attached to the motherboard's IDE connectors, and they've been disabled in the BIOS. The machine is a dual-proc Pentium Pro 200 w/ 128 MB RAM, running 4.3-RELEASE WITHOUT SMP enabled (right now). I've confirmed that SMP does not affect this test. I've created a 2 GB /usr filesystem to test, and have enabled softupdates: /dev/ad4s1e on /usr (ufs, local, softupdates) My performance with this drive is disappointing relative to the SCSI-1 devices I used to have in this machine. (The old disks were Seagate 4.3 GB SCSIs running at 10MHz, 10MB/sec transfer.) using dd to test performance,with the new drive, I get dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/foo bs=16384 count=16384 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 268435456 bytes transferred in 34.839972 secs (7704813 bytes/sec) dd of=/dev/null if=/usr/foo bs=16384 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 268435456 bytes transferred in 10.272343 secs (26131863 bytes/sec) systat -iostat 1 shows ad4's tps around 55-60 for the write to /usr/foo, and around 200-206 for the read from /usr/foo. sysctl reports the following: hw.ata.ata_dma: 1 hw.ata.wc: 0 hw.ata.tags: 0 hw.ata.atapi_dma: 0 hw.atamodes: ---,---,dma,---,---,--- Now, the Maxtors ship with a performance-limiting config: write verify is on for the first 10 power cycles, and the acoustic management is on as well. I've disabled both of these features and have also run the ATA66-ATA100 update. Is this the expected performance for this controller/drive on this system? Frankly, I was expecting better write performance -- this is about the same as my old SCSI disks (although the reads look much better). Any ideas would be much appreciated. FYI, during the write test, 'top' in another window took 6 seconds to come up, and there were significant (6-7 second) delays between "login" and "password" on the other vtys. Thanks, Seth.

Eventually, I want to connect these computers together. I am running FreeBSD 4.3RC on my PC. I would like to be able to dialup my ISP and receive/send email - all from the command line. I have successfully configured the dialup connection. I have successfully configured fetchmail to receive emails; and can use mutt to read them. I'm having difficulty sending emails, however. My PC is configured as terrek.datawok.com. I registered the name datawok.com some time ago, and Earthlink redirects all email going to datawok.com to my Earthlink account. I made the following changes to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: DSvipmail.earthlink.net DMdatawok.com I then restarted sendmail. When I try to send mail, Earthlink rejects the mail; indicating that the sender domain, 'terrek.datawok.com', needs to exist. Masquerading does not seem to be working. I then reconfigured my network so that my host/domain name is just datawok.com; and restarted sendmail. I can now send email. The problem is that when I network the three computers at home, I'm want to give each computer full names (host.domain.com). Does anyone have any solutions/advice.

It seems to me that a dd test is not very reliable. For one thing, if you make the block size 1, and increase the count accordingly, the time to write the file will skyrocket. Try these two commands to see what I mean: time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1 count=1474000 and time dd if=/dev/zero of=test count=1 bs=1474000 For me, the first one takes 25 seconds to write. The second one takes 0.0903 seconds as reported by dd. Of course, another thing to note is that you are using a multitasking system, and other things are going on in the background. This is why you run "time". Time will report the total elapsed real-world time (which is what dd uses), but it will also decompose this into system and user actual computing time. System sime is the time the kernel spends doing this task, user time is time the userland program spends doing this task. To see the difference, look at the output from my first timed dd above: 1474000+0 records in 1474000+0 records out 1474000 bytes transferred in 25.685091 secs (57387 bytes/sec) 1.341u 12.919s 0:25.82 55.1% 82+200k 2+18io 4pf+0w The first three lines are dd output, the last is the time output (time is a userland command, but is also built into tcsh. This is the builtin time you are seeing). The "1.341u" means dd spent 1.341 seconds on this task. "12.919s" means the kernel spend twelve seconds on this task. In total, the system only spent 13 seconds writing this file, but you had to wait 25 because of background things. The 13 seconds is the actual time you should use to compute I/O throughput. But, as I said before, block size and count has a HUGE effect... For me, writing one giant block instead of 1474000 little ones saved me 24 seconds, with the final task making me wait less than a second. For a real disk I/O benchmark, try bonnie. It's in the ports tree. NOTE: When I ran these dd tests, I was building Mozilla in the background. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 9:30:53 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from introsearch.com (host213-123-28-135.btinternet.com [213.123.28.135]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 3734437B440 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 09:30:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from admin@introsearch.com) From: "Introsearch.Com" To: Subject: Click on to meet someone you Click with Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 17:30:14 +0100 Reply-To: "Introsearch.Com" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: <20010422163017.3734437B440@hub.freebsd.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Click on to meet someone you Click with

My point here was to try to document what I perceived as sluggish disk performance -- not necessarily do raw benchmarking. You're absolutely right, though, about block sizes making a difference. However, if you compare the dd results with the dd results when run on the old SCSI disks (don't have the exact numbers handy, but they were around 7-8 MB/sec for both read and write), you see evidence that there may be a problem. ("Problem", of course, being defined as "unexpected behavior".)

Is this a sane conclusion to > reach given the evidence? During the dd write, your system is being used less than 25% of the time. This is absolutely horrible. Recall that, for my small-block write, my CPU was being used >50% of the time, and I had Mozilla building in the background. This means my CPU usage was much higher. This must be a CPU bottleneck. Make sure every daemon you can live without for five minutes (while you test throughput) is dead. Something has got to be using that extra CPU time. I agree about bonnie/bonnie++, the output is garbled. I was able to clean it up above by deleting one space on each output line, so that the columns don't spill off the ledge. If the writers of the software had done this at first, it would be a lot easier to read. Something is definitely wrong. On the I/O writes where you get 6000-7000 K/sec, I get 9000-13000 K/sec. And mine is a UDMA-4 (UltraATA/66) controller and drive pair. On the Block I/O, where you get 25000 K/sec, I get 86000. I have a 733MHz PIII, 256K L2 cache. The partitions I tested with bonnie were 7 and 10G FFS with soft updates. The block and fragment size are the default, 8K block and 1K fragment. Each partition has 16 cylinders per group. I have 320M PC-100 SDRAM in the system. The spin rate of my disk is 7200 RPM. The problem could be a processor issue, a PCI bus issue, a RAM issue, or any number of things. I really have no idea why your performance is so bad. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 10: 8:43 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from superconductor.rush.net (superconductor.rush.net [208.9.155.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ABDB437B423 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 10:08:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from aberrant@superconductor.rush.net) Received: (from aberrant@localhost) by superconductor.rush.net (8.11.2/8.11.2) id f3MH8ck05648; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 13:08:38 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 13:08:38 -0400 From: Seth To: Andrew Hesford Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ATA100 read/write perofrmance disparity Message-ID: <20010422130838.B29944@superconductor.rush.net> References: <20010422114836.A6234@superconductor.rush.net> <20010422110843.A99388@cec.wustl.edu> <20010422124619.A29944@superconductor.rush.net> <20010422120120.A26375@cec.wustl.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0us In-Reply-To: <20010422120120.A26375@cec.wustl.edu>; from ajh3@chmod.ath.cx on Sun, Apr 22, 2001 at 12:01:20PM -0500 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sun, Apr 22, 2001 at 12:01:20PM -0500, Andrew Hesford wrote: > During the dd write, your system is being used less than 25% of the > time.

There's nothing else eating up CPU time here. Honestly. I do notice that dd spends a lot of time in the "wdrain" state (when it's not in CPU), according to top(1). I also see brief "bioread" states. I don't know what these states really mean. > Something is definitely wrong. On the I/O writes where you get 6000-7000 > K/sec, I get 9000-13000 K/sec.

This certainly isn't encouraging, although your CPU is much more powerful (and therefore is probably less limiting)..

No broken nails and cut fingers. It just beats me why the PC engineers can't come up with something more functional than we have in the PC. I have been using both for over decade and nothing changed. As for G4, the chipset and the whole mobo is not up to the task in the Mac, a lot of waste. Linux people are doing better job supporting older PPCs, like 601. A 7200/90 I have is supported by 4-5 Linuxen and no BSD. And you are paid when you take this machine as a donation here. RAM is rather expensive, otherwise I'd run Mac OS 8.6 in a heartbeat on them. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Ooh, me, me! Upon final post-assembly factory test, fusees F100-F1FF will be blown to indicate the approved speed. Fuse F200 will then be blown to indicate that this has been accomplished. When powered up, the chip will test that F200 and F201 are both blown. If so, it proceeds at the FSB and memory speed indicated in F202-F20F. However, if F200 is blown, and F201 is intact, a phasal confirmation of the lunar sequance will be checked, and the result burned into F202-F20F, with F201 immediately blown to confirm byzantinization. /me giggles.

Over all the processors they sell, they need to cover their average cost, which includs the fixed & sunk costs of development, plus the marginal cost of production.

How many people remember the 2732 and 2764 EPROM's? (the 32 and 64 refer to Kbits, not bytes). Intel had both projects going at once, but (unexpectedly) the 64 team got *ahead* of the 32 team. They dropped the 32 project, and never made an actual 32 chip. But they still sold a 2732--it was a 2764 in which one side was bad, and they'd permanently wired it to use the good sise. hawk, old enough to remember when microsoft wrote good software . . .

I am having a lot of problems installing it. I bought the Power Pak yesterday with 10 CDs and a book. But, I cannot get past installation. Is there a tech support phone number to call? I need step by step help with this. I have a HP Pavilion 6635 with a Celeron 533, a SMC EZ 10/1000 1211TX network card that the install won't recognize, a HP M70 monitor that install won't recognize. I cannot get the network card to work or the X configuration for the monitor to work. I am stuck. I have tried to install this at least 11 times and even reinstalled Win98SE and tried to install again. I have made BIOS changes. I think I tried every thing. This is a very common computer and the hardware is mainstream so I don't know if the hardware is the problem or not. I hope not. Any ideas? I cannot get to step one. Thanks. Jim.

I have been using the Makefile listed on www.freebsddiary.org with consistent success up until now. Compiling on the fast machine and installing on the slow machines has worked very well. I tried to re-build the kernel for one of them and make depend failed giving me compile errors complaining about unterminated strings, and missing white spaces in pre-processor #define statements. I looked at the source code and there was a recurring problem caused by /* nested /* comments */ */. I updated the source tree with CVSup with no errors and tried a build world, and got the same sort of thing again: atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_timer.c /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_log.c:48: `#include' expects "FILENAME" or /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:857: unterminated string or character constant /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:772: possible real start of unterminated constant /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:535: unterminated `#if' conditional mkdep: compile failed I looked at the source again, and lines of code that should be comments are beginning with * instead of /* that sort of thing. The code I looked at had a three-year-old copyright. I could go and fix all of these errors by hand as they occur, and try again, but I suspect that there is some sort of error in some sort of script that compresses and uncompresses source code. Any idea what I should try next. I will be grateful for any sugguestions.

There isn't any free telephone help. You really don't need it. The problem is figuring out how to ask the right question. People spend their personal time trying to help each other here on FreeBSD-questions. You need to install the system source. That was one of the options during the install. Sooner or later, you will want to build a new kernel. If your system will boot, you don't have to reinstall. There are somethings that you do have to do to get networking and x-windows running. When you type "dmesg", do you see your network card being recognized. If you do, there are some things that you have to do. There is a series of tutorials at http://www.freebsd.org/. The purpose is getting you off dead zero. It doesn't take much motion to do significant things. You can download some such as the handbood as .pdf files with Win 98. You can mount your Win98 drive in FreeBSD and use the pdf file from FreeBSD. This is handy until you figure out how to dial out and etc. X-windows is a different problem. What version of x-windows did you install? The way you configure XFree86-3.3.6 is different than version 4.0.x. I use 3.3.6 and use XF86Setup to do the configuration. I have 3 or 4 different video cards and they all use the SVGA x-server. FreeBSD doesn't depend on x-windows but x sure makes using FreeBSD a lot easier. X-windows is an application and not part of FreeBSD. The choice of X-server and video card can be seen at http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html.

What could be easier than that? Certainly not reading the mail - I tried that and gave up. I was hoping for a short list of what's going on in some public place, but I guess you've answered that question. Thanks though. Steve K. U.F.O. - "For the feeler gauge in you."

That's usually caused by apsfilter running text through a2ps, causing it to be rendered as graphics on non-postscript printers. Since that uses quite a bit of memory, it can cause a print to fail when you wouldn't expect it to. That's one of the apsfilter problems I mentioned earlier. > Nothing happens when I print plain text. > If I pipe through enscript, mpage or a2ps it works. If going through a2ps works, then apsfilter *should* work. You might make sure that you're using the same a2ps flags that apsfilter is using, and if not try those flags by hand. > My printer is PS. There's a small possibility that apsfilter is sending the postscript direct to the printer, but text gets sent to a2ps and thence to ghostscript to be rendered in a printer-specific language (i.e. PCL or PJL for hp printers). If your printer prints ascii text ok - and the stairstep effect is considered "ok" in this case - you might consider using magicfilter instead of apsfilter. It has a text filter that does the newline and eof conversion required by DOS text printers, so you avoid the a2ps step that apsfilter uses for text files. You can use the apsfilter printcap and spool files setups; just change the filter to the appropriate entry in /usr/local/libexec/magicfilter. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

If you're using 4-STABLE, you have to make sure that userland and kernel are in sync.

Based on my little understanding of Windows, they had to put any advanced device driver such as ATAPI CD, CR-R, CD-RW, Zip drives, etc, under "SCSI" because that was the only place the OS would treat it correctly. This doesn't mean Windows issues SCSI commands to these devices. It only means they used Window's API for SCSI devices as the interface to understand what Windows wants done. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

This only works because Intel has successfully propagandized the majority of IT people that are purchasing CPU's for high-end servers and such, that the P3 is better than the AMD chip. But, if those IT people catch on then the volume of P3s will drop so far that they won't be able to get the money from P3 sales to support Celery R&D and they will have to raise prices on the Celery to pay for the R&D and drop prices on the P3 to keep from losing the market.

Bought a Sony ATAPI 12/8/32 CD-RW late last year. Pretty happy with it. So I later purchased another ATAPI, a Philips 8/4/32, which sucked. The Sony's were pretty pricy, and I had cashed in on one $50 rebate already. So in replacement of the Philips ended up with a SCSI HP 9150i 8/4/32 for $140 while comparable HP ATAPI 9350 10/4/32's were $150 locally. Already had the SCSI card (a Symbios '875 purchased several years ago for under $60) so the delta was more like $20 over the Philips price. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

My question is what version of XFree86 is on this disk? I cannot find it listed anywhere. Also, the books makes reference to 3.3.3.1 but that book also refers to FreeBSD version 3.2. So, it leads me to believe that the version of XFree86 is newer than 3.3.3.1. Does anyone know what version of XFree86 shipped with FreeBSD 4.2 in the cd form in the retail store, that is the version I have. If I can find out if it is at least version 3.3.5, then I can download the drivers for Intel's i810 video chip for linux to use for XFree86. Thanks for any help. Jim.

This only works because Intel # has successfully propagandized the majority of IT people that are # purchasing CPU's for high-end servers and such, that the P3 is better than # the AMD chip. But, if those IT people catch on then the volume of P3s # will drop so far that they won't be able to get the money from P3 sales # to support Celery R&D and they will have to raise prices on the Celery to # pay for the R&D and drop prices on the P3 to keep from losing the market. Another reason why Intel [processors] have been so popular with IT is that Intel has been known to nudge companies who try to sell desktops and ``workstations'' with Intel and AMD processors. Micron and Gateway have been able to somewhat get AMD processors in their home desktops, but have a hard time getting AMD processors in corporate desktops. They don't raise the prices on the Celery, but rather not reduce them a lot each time they roll-out a price cut. There have been a lot of rumors that Intel will be making very large cuts to the Pentium 4 processors and discontinue lower-end Pentium III processors to force feed IT purchasers the Pentium 4. And thanks to Intel and Rambu$t's PR arm, poorly informed IT decision makers will shell out the money for Rambu$t memory (remember, you have to buy two sticks for each upgrade...) I think Intel and AMD are going to have a huge battle and uphill climb to keep (or gain) the processor-king crown.

However, my main production super-duper SMP colo'ed FreeBSD box of which I've put almost two grand into, has had random lockups on heavy IDE access since I set it up. I thought it was the drive or something. Then this Via southbridge bug comes out, and it's in almost every motherboard I own including my server and my Athlon 1ghz system at home. Yes, I've had random lockups at home for quite a while and yes I own a Sound Blaster Live!. This chipset bug has been the bane of my existance for about 2 years and I never suspected it was all one bug in the Via chipset motherboards I have. It almost makes me ill when I think of the number of times I've ripped my home box apart or had to have my friend who works at the colo reboot my box, wondering why my systems are so prone to lockups. They'd better get BIOS fixes out YESTERDAY. My motherboards are Tyan and Asus and I didn't pay any small amount to have "good" motherboards in my systems.

X-Mailer: VM 6.90 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to get the tw0 device to work on an old Thinkpad 755c system. I built a kernel with the device defined. It just can't seem to find the parallel port. I know it's at irq 7, but I don't know the iobase address. Another laptop I have has it at irq 7 and iobase 0x378, but that doesn't seem to work on the Thinkpad. I know my cable and X10 controller box work correctly because I've used it with FreeBSD on a different laptop. Is there something special about the parallel port on the Thinkpad 755c? Is there some place I can find hardware information like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! /raj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 19:36:25 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from femail10.sdc1.sfba.home.com (femail10.sdc1.sfba.home.com [24.0.95.106]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C0D737B43C for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 19:36:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ah-no-way@home.com) Received: from home.com ([24.68.123.209]) by femail10.sdc1.sfba.home.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.20 201-229-121-120-20010223) with ESMTP id <20010423023623.ZOMV6845.femail10.sdc1.sfba.home.com@home.com> for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 19:36:23 -0700 Message-ID: <3AE395BA.3764340B@home.com> Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 22:38:50 -0400 From: Brad X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12 i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: IPFW Protocol not available ?

Has anyone else used FreeBSD (4.3 here) with an NEC Versa 6030x or similar laptop? I can't seem to get its pccard/pcmcia slots to work. The kernel prints the 'pccard inserted in slot X' message continually (looks like about once a second) after one is inserted, but pccardd can't read the card info, it reports (None),(None). pccardc can't see it either (no surprise). Any ideas? win95 and linux work fine on the system but i was hoping to have a FreeBSD box. thanks, Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 20:36:29 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from web4504.mail.yahoo.com (web4504.mail.yahoo.com [216.115.105.65]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 1779337B424 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 20:36:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from scooby848151@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <20010423033621.10736.qmail@web4504.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [64.12.103.152] by web4504.mail.yahoo.com; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 20:36:21 PDT Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 20:36:21 -0700 (PDT) From: shannon shelton Subject: PLEASE READ AND SEND TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!

so many people talk about anarchy, the down fall of our government, half of my generation does black people being called nigger, monkey, darky white people are being called white boy, honkey, cracker hispanics are being called spiks italians are being called wop's and each and every individual race has its own set of names they are being called by whom are they being called this? by us "the people", are we really "the people" or a sets of people who fight against each other the government hardly even effects us though, and do you know why? because they are trying to protect us as a whole, but we aren't a whole, we are a country that is being destroyed from the inside out we are destroying each other if we were taken over by another country most people would fight back and fight for whom? their country? no, they would be fighting for themselves and their loved ones and that's it we are the country with the most power in the world, and yet we don't even have the power to: get along stop drugs stop racism (against all races even white) stop violence stop crime I know for a fact that many of you out there commit crimes and i don't just mean minor offenses I mean all kinds of crimes there are many people out there who believe in and worship God, what would God do? ask yourself that every moment of every day there are those who don't believe in God, well that's fine i am not going to demand that you do, but what do you believe in? and there are those who do believe in God and don't care, why don't you care? we all want a better life, we all want less problems, we all wish things were easier well at the rate we are going they are only going to get harder all we seem to want to do is watch TV get high listen to music and get laid doesn't anyone have hope anymore? i don't mean just hope for your self i mean hope for everyone hope for your children and grandchildren hope for your friends hope for your parents hope for the people who you see everyday that have it harder than you do hope for the person whom you love and want to spend the rest of your life with no, we don't have hope, we believe we are going to get by the best way that we can and when i say best i mean the only way you do know, why not trying something different? why not trying something better, ask yourself this when is the last time you really helped someone else i don't mean just giving a dollar to a homeless person or doing your job at work or told some one good job i mean really going out of your way and helping someone, even though it might hurt you have you suffered for anyone, just to make their life easier? that is love, that is hope, to do for someone even though it effects you in only one of two ways a "thank you" or a "fuck you" people might not appreciate the help you might give them but it is better to do it anyway what happens in our schools nowadays? do you, the teachers out there, really i mean really try to help your students try to get them to listen by making them interested other than just doing your job and getting your paycheck do you spend your own personal time helping the students that need your help? do you go to their homes on your own time and talk to them and their parents find out how and what they want to learn? if you don't have the resources at school to teach your kids do you go to the city library and check out extra books? if your answer is no then why are you teaching? why? the people you work with, do they piss you off? if so, why? is it something they say or do? do they just irritate you because of the way they are or are they just rude to you and treat you like dirt? ask yourself this, why? if they irritate you because of the way they are try to understand them if they are rude and mean to you try to figure out why? what is upsetting them? what is wrong with being single nowadays? you need someone, you cant be alone? if you cant handle the way you are when you are alone how do you expect someone else to make you feel good? you think sex is love? no its not, its sex when you are in a relationship that's not going right you think "maybe if we have a baby everything will be good" right? wrong that will just cause more fighting, arguing, and worry try being single, don't go looking for the right person, after all they are out there and you will meet them just be patient live your life the best you can alone, that person will come to you one day what is going on with families nowadays each father, husband, mother, wife, daughter and son out there has their own lives yet how much time do they spend together, how much time do you spend with your kids? how much time do you spend with your parents? after all no one will be here forever they might be gone before you ever get the chance to know them and love them think about this, you would rather be with friends then family, why? because people in your family don't listen to you or understand you? make them understand don't run from them don't hide things from them love them and "make" them understand you, why? because you love them fame, money, popularity, getting people to like you is this what you want? why is that? how is that going to get you ahead in life? do you worry about what others think about you? why do you do that? no one's opinion matters but your own i have noticed that we put movie stars, musical artists, and TV stars on pedestals we think they are beautiful, we think they are talented, we wish we could be like them we wish we could have what they have what do they have? just about a couple of million people know who they are just everyone knowing everything about them people knowing everything about their personal life when do they get free time? never, they are always on call to entertain us that is the only reason they are there, to entertain us not to impress us, not to make millions because of who they are they are there to give us something to do, that's it think about this you see these movie, TV, and music stars, you hear about them all the time in the media you think they are wonderful and beautiful you think they understand how you feel and they touch your soul don't you think that people around you are the same way? when is the last time you got to know some of the people you are around the way you know them? they had to start out somewhere they started out right where you are the only difference is that they were recognized for their talents they started out no different then you or me why don't people be loving and neighborly any more? what is wrong with that? do you think it's weak or gay or too sensitive to try to show love to others? sometimes all our strengths are in our love for your self, for your families, for your friends, and even others that you don't know or know very well when i say love them i don't necessarily mean hug them, kiss them, make love to them i mean just helping them with everything you can, listening to them, give more to them then they give back what am i saying? this is what i am saying: the world is a strange, scary, violent, and painful place but it is also amazing, beautiful, and filled with possibility have hope for on another love one another help one another remember to give to everyone, after all if everyone gives then everyone receives ignore the differences between us and try, just try to be understanding and patient, that's it i will leave you now with your thoughts, all i ask is to think about what i have said and know that you can change the world, you one person can change the world all you have to do is try, and be patient Shannon Dale Shelton Ps.

There isn't going to be a ton of difference. They both use the same program to do packet filtering. OpenBSD is more secure, but it is harder to install and use, and there isn't that much documentation. Their motto is "secure by default" and that is what the design goal of OpenBSD is: security. FreeBSD is also secure, but they put more of an emphasis on ease of use and performance, and less on security. Even so, FreeBSD is more secure (according to many) than linux or windows. Either one would be a good choice.

I quit using MS software because their z80 assembler was garbage. I've still got a copy of the reviews of the first MS BASIC interpreter (in storage, unfortunately). While it didn't suck, I'd be hard pressed to say that the review called it "good software." If MS ever wrote good software, I never encountered it. For a while, they purchased language processors from other companies and sold those. One of those may have qualified as "good software." http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

The wait that you are encountering is becuase ftp and telnet are trying to do reverse lookups on the machine that you are logging in from, and it has to time out before the logout will proceed.

They go more for the super ultra reliable extremely scalable systems it seems. You may look into Alpha if you are after absolute max raw computing power for the buck. At certain price levels, Alpha (at least did) win hands down. The systems are made by Compaq, but their high-end systems don't suck like their consumer systems do. If you would like to build your own array from scratch, Seagate makes a 160GB Ultra/160 SCSI drive.

Don't bet the farm that AMD will have SMB boards by then. Chances are that they will, but their roadmap, IIRC, says "2nd half" which just begins in June. You may also want to consider that the boards will be first-generation SMP. While they will almost certainly be far, far (FAR) better than the average 1st gen board because it is using a chipset that is perfectly good for single processor systems and because the boards are likely being marketed as server/workstation class (hence the predicted $600+ price tag), they may have some problems to iron out. I don't know how important these systems will be, but when I build one that needs 24/7 uptime I always use parts that have been out and tested in the field for a few months. One example that further emphasized this strategy was when I read that Anandtech used MSI K7T-Pro2 boards for servers that "worked fine" for a logn time but had occasional hard lockups (i.e. system would not post unless unplugged for several seconds). While Anandtech doesn't seem to be the smartest when it comes to servers (They use Windows, for example) the example still does apply. Sort of. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 22:15: 1 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.eecis.udel.edu (louie.udel.edu [128.175.2.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 4D8A137B42C for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 22:14:58 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tobin@mail.eecis.udel.edu) Received: from ren.eecis.udel.edu by mail.eecis.udel.edu id aa11620; 23 Apr 2001 01:14 EDT Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 01:14:40 -0400 (EDT) From: "Elliot L.

Well, I should be in bed, but that's the way it goes I guess. To help you out much with DNS, I would need to know a bit about your network.

If you happen to know the IP address of all the machines which need to do ftp/telnet you can do the same for them, but still it is best to correct the DNS so that it does reverse DNS properly. But if you are on a private network (192.128.0.0) you may never have DNS for that. It may be a good idea to just go with a hosts files that you syncronize among all your servers. I am not sure if you mentioned your role in all of this, but I would talk with the Network Administrator about all this and get it all brought up to par.

Ha! I am the network administrator! Hey, what do you expect for $13/hour! But really, I could do all this with NT/2k pretty fast. This whole FreeBSD thing is my pet project--to learn--and to ultimately subvert our company's dependence on Microsoft.

In this case AMD *might* be a good compromise. If the prof has large loops in his code that Xeons could accommodate, then, prolly nothing beats Serverworks chipsets implemented by Supermicro. Xeons are on sale now, those large buffers make it hard to overclock He's got a tough choice to make considering Mama's budgetting stance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Quick response before I unsubscribe (the list traffic is too high for me, or I'd stick around). If you're not a sysadmin, you probably won't notice many differences between FreeBSD and Linux once you get it installed and setup the way you like it. I'm running a client machine, so here's my view from that perspective (the guys running server machines can tell you lots more...). With softupdates, the file system is slightly faster. The packages/ports collection is far superior to RPM. For a lot of people, using BSD style initscripts instead of SysV style is much easier. (but who cares? once it's configured, don't touch it) Documentation! You get man pages for every part of the operating system, and they're all up to date. And the handbook, faq and other online books distributed with FreeBSD are superb. FreeBSD development is unified. This makes it feel like a complete and whole system. Anecdotal evidence suggests that FreeBSD is more stable than Linux. I think much of this comes from comparing FreeBSD with Redhat and SuSE. The stability is much closer if you compare it with Debian or Slackware instead. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that FreeBSD has better networking than Linux. But don't take my word for it.

Forget about Red Hat. It ships with a beta compiler that may or may not work. It is also known for a great number of bugs that it ships with. SuSE is not bad. Things generally work out of the box, and YaST is great for new users, although it can annoy more experienced users. SuSE has one of the best XFree86 configuration utilities (sax). All in all a very good distribution. FreeBSD is based on an older and more mature codebase. It has incredible performance and stability. I'm sure that many people here will be able to tell you more. My suggestion is to try them all. Decide for yourself which you like better. - v -- Victor R.

I'm interested in games like SimCity 3000, Myth ii, and > Unreal Tournament. How does it stack up? Thanks. To be blunt, it won't be as good as Doze. This is a very common question on various free OSes these days. There are hardly any games released for Linux, let alone *BSD. Running stuff through WINE often works,but it'll never be as fast as Doze code running on Doze. (Although oddly the Linuxulator *is* faster than Linux running the same code, at least in my experience. Netscape comes to mind.) What's wrong with keeping a Windows partition around for playing games? You've probably paid for it in one way or the other, it's all Windows is good for, so why not use it for that? Squeezing Window games into UNIX (*if* you#ve already shelled out for Windows) is IMHO as illogical as trying to use a Windows machine to do any kind of useful work. (Not trying to knock the spirit of 'I wonder if I can do this?', just trying to be practical.) -- "If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars." -- J.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Sirs. I run into problems with AMANDA backing up a large disk array (250 GB). I use 'gnutar' as dumping tool defined by GTAR within amanda in the hope that AMANDA is capable to spread a big backup image over several tapes like TAR does this when used without AMANDA (multi volume facility). I asked about AMANDA's capabilty of backing up large arrays before and I was told to split the big array into smaller pieces. It seems to me, by the way, that AMANDA is only capable of backing up arrays or drive areas they are about the size of one tape. We use a tape changer with 6 slots of DDS-4 cardridges. But the suggestion splitting up the big array into pieces is impossible! The only way I could do is to order users in alphabetical order and save them splitted (the big array is the HOMES partition of our institute). But several users have enormous data fluctuations, today I run into problems with the daily backup due the fact one of the users load scientific data of about 30 GB - that is to much for one tape and since 8 hours amanda is trying to back up this area trying each tape, filling it up to its limits, then makes an error and take the next tape - a silly behaviour. Well, I would like to ask for some hints or simply a fact-statement: Is AMANDA capable of spreading a large volume over several tapes with gtar like gtar does this using the multivolume mechanism? How to configure this ability if possible? Please be aware of the following fact: I definitely can not split this array into smaller pieces because it is not possible to split them due the high data fluctuation. Does anyone have experiences with AFBACKUP? I do not want to start in investigations how this works and has to be configured if afbackup lacks in the same point as AMANDA does.

So why did we switch over or start using FBSD? Several reasons for me. Linux has a future that is basically controlled by one person. The "benevolent dictator" Linus Torvolds. If he doesn't like what you have done it doesn't go into the mainstream linux kernel. Sure you can build your own patches and things but then your version of linux will always be a bastard child - never fully accepted by the community. I understand that FBSD actually has an elected group who decides what will be allowed in future kernels. Look at PPC linux today. Its way behind in the mainstream kernel cuz Linux didn't like it. Also GGI was a great idea that was all but killed due to combinations of things including being told it would never make it to the kernel by Linus. I wanted to experience something that was new that wouldn't have such a harsh learning curve. If you already know UNIX fairly well you can use FBSD. There are some differences to administrating a box but some of them overlap with the Slackware distribution. Also I want to eventually start using some IPV6 stuff and linux, even though it supports it or claims to in the kernel config, doesn't have as cool a networking structure so I figured FBSD would be the way to learn how to use IPV6. Things run faster and more stabily in FBSD than under linux including linux apps. The NEWBUS architecture is pretty amazing for devices.... Basically I got sick of linux. :) Dave > Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 02:20:34 -0400 > To: > From: "SPEAKEASY " > Subject: How Is The FeeBSD OS Like and Different Than Say Redhat or Suse > LINUX > > Dear Sirs; > > I'm considering trying FreeBSD and have experience with both System 5 > Version 4, Redhat Linux 6.xx and greater and Suse 6.x.x and greater.What > are > their similarities and differences.

You normally get error messages under these conditions.

I don't think soo. If the Celerey were to be separately developed, the P3 price would be higher, not lower, than it is now. The celery might or might not exist. The choice isn't between current prices and P3 at celery prices, but between current prices and no cheap celery (with the P3 more expensive). > This only works because Intel > has successfully propagandized the majority of IT people that are > purchasing CPU's for high-end servers and such, that the P3 is better than > the AMD chip.

Which continues until the price of celery and P3 are the same, which will be close to (and probably above) current P43 prices. To this point, I"ve been speaking as an economist. But as an economists, it's tough to explain how the price of the P3 can be above the AMD price at all; I'll leave that for the marketing folks :) In a similar vein, as an economist it's quite easy to explain why a firm would pay women less then men for the same work. I have yet to see an explanation as to why the firm would pay men *more* than women for the same work; the rational act at that point is an all-female work force . . . hawk, economist -- Prof. Richard E.

I personally switched from using Red Hat to FreeBSD about three months ago and have been very pleased with the switch. I really like the way it handles the startup. With Red Hat I had to deal with all of those rc[1-6].d directories and all those sybmolic links. I like going into one configuration file (/etc/rc.conf) and telling it what services to startup. It is very clean and the man page lists all of the commands (to my knowledge). It is also noticably faster than Red Hat at startup. The base install doesn't come with a butt-load of software like Red Hat. I don't feel like I'm getting a bunch of software that I'm never going to use. That brings me to my next point. My favorite of all is the port collection. It is amazingly simple. I just go into /usr/ports and choose the category and software package and type "make install" and it downloads the software, applies any necessary patches, compiles, and installs. Everything that I have ever needed on my FreeBSD box has been found in the ports collection. I have only once needed to compile and install software outside of the ports collection. Overall, I find the OS to be very elegant and easy to manage.

I actually would like to know how i can set up pool of addresses used by natd for translations (as in cisco "ip nat pool dynapool 10.72.8.1 10.72.8.64" etc). Because machines on 10.72.7.0 network have to get packets as it comes from 10.72.8.0 (for example) and not from 10.72.6.0 network because of asymmetric routing in the lab. I've seen 'alias_address' option but i don't really understand how it works. Thanks a lot.=20 p.s.

Why do they have to get packets from 10.72.8.0? WHy do you need nat, if there is 1 BSD machine tied to both networks, this is just basic routing across the interfaces. Let me see if I understand you correctly: 10.72.6.0/24-- BSD --10.72.7.0/24 Correct? What is the default gateway entry on the machines in the 10.72.7.0 network?

I administer my system like a Nazi... software I don't plan to use belongs in concentration camps. RedHat always gave me way too much shit, and I was never pleased. Besides, RPM is a terrible package system. I switched to Slackware from RedHat, which gave me Nazi control over the system, but no package system. Hence I had to build everything from source, and I had to control the retrieval and ordering manually. After Slackware came Debian, with a fine package system. I installed a base system--in debian, the base system barely boots, unlike FreeBSD--and installed the packages I want by hand. This handles dependencies and everything. I started with FreeBSD after Debian, which again gives me Nazi control over my system, and doesn't install too much shit to begin with. However, the programs included in the base system are far more extensive. A nice feature of the ports system is that I can compile everything for my system, unlike with prebuilt packages (although I can use those too, if I please). The only unfortunate part is that upgrading packages without breaking dependencies can sometimes be troublesome. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 8: 2:50 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.netsys.hn (mail.netsys.hn [200.41.53.45]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8C38737B42C for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 08:02:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from quintana@netsys.hn) Received: from HPLAPTOP.netsys.hn (support.netsys.hn [200.41.53.58]) by mail.netsys.hn (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA14070 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 09:02:34 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <5.0.2.1.0.20010423085919.0287d140@netsys.hn> X-Sender: quintana@netsys.hn X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 09:02:36 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Pablo Quintana Subject: named problems Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=====================_2235055==_.ALT" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG --=====================_2235055==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed We upgraded our DNS server from FreeBSD 2.1 to FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE.

How about 10.72.6.0? =20 That's the problem. Because of the machines on 10.72.7.0 have=20 different default gateway - they are connected to loadbalancer. So my problem is that for checking loadbalancer traffic comes=20 from my internal net - 10.72.6.0 - and for management of this=20 machines i need to come from different network (!10.72.6.0) -=20 because this way this machines will try to answer thru load=20 balanacer - and nothing will come out. So that's why i need=20 to manage this machines with different source ip. And it will=20 work if i could tell to natd use different ipaddress (not use=20 my "external interface ip" - 10.72.7.1 but rewrite it with=20 some other one 10.72.8.1 for example)...=20 > >=20 > > > I've seen 'alias_address' option but i don't really=20 > > understand how it > >=20 > > It is similar to Cisco's overload.

I would like to purchase a Compaq Proliant ML530 with a Smart Array card. The one from our supplier comes standard with a Smart Array 5302 which is one of the latest ones out, however it is not on the supported hardware page yet. Has anyone got it to work? Compaq does not yet outright support FreeBSD (but they are getting closer) so there is not much info on their web pages, however I did find the following link: http://linux.compaq.co.jp/bsd/product/hardware/pl_ml530/index.html I just can't read which Smart Array's are supported. Also, at the bottom of this page it mentions the insight manager, does anyone have a version of the insight manager that interfaces with FreeBSD? Thanks in advance for any info.

Debian is just okay, for me. I used it for a brief period of time, but I didn't like it. It just felt sloppy.

To be honest, I can't say that I've encountered any problems when upgrading any of my ports, but then nothing I use has had any major revisions since I installed FreeBSD three months ago. Another great thing about the ports collection is that everything gets installed in /usr/local. I don't have to worry about /etc getting cluttered, as well as /bin, /usr/sbin, etc. There are a few exceptions, of course, such as qmail which goes to /var/qmail, but that is about it. -- Matt Barton matt@fear.net Indianapolis, IN http://www.mattbarton.ws/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 9:16: 9 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cody.jharris.com (cody.jharris.com [205.238.128.83]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AE9B837B422 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 09:16:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from nick@rogness.net) Received: from localhost (nick@localhost) by cody.jharris.com (8.11.1/8.9.3) with ESMTP id f3NHO9n23890; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:24:09 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from nick@rogness.net) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:24:09 -0500 (CDT) From: Nick Rogness X-Sender: nick@cody.jharris.com To: Daniel Mester Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: natd question In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Mon, 23 Apr 2001, Daniel Mester wrote: [snip] > > That's the problem.

Natd option: alias_address 10.72.8.1 However, there is probably a better solution. I'm still trying to picture how yur network is hooked together...maybe a diagram would help and I could give you a detailed answer. So why not add a route in your load balancer: route add -net 10.72.6.0 10.72.7.1 -netmask 255.255.255.0 Or in ciscoian: ip route 10.72.6.0 255.255.255.0 10.72.7.1 I am making assumptions because I'm not sure how your net is layed out.

My question is this: Would the fact that the hard drive is too large for the BIOS to properly address cause this hang? I have run other OSes on this box that have been able to access the whole drive, basically by bypassing the BIOS and accessing it directly through the controller. How can I get FreeBSD to do the same.

By corrupted, I mean that some of the pictures in a large Word document will have gone black, or the install files for a program will claim to have a crc error. I am conducting these tests from a Windows 98 machine using Internet Explorer. I also tried it with Cute FTP, and many other ftp programs. The corruption occurs also from machines directly connected to the server through a LAN. After trying unsuccessfully for hours to send and receive an uncorrupted version of one file, I tried ftping it to a Pair Networks server and got it back uncorrupted the first time. This makes me think that ftp is meant to be stable enough to do this and that there's a problem on my server. Other oddities I've noticed are: From time to time when I look in the anonymous ftp directories, I find a directory in /incoming called /incoming/incoming, or /incoming/pub, or /incoming/bin, and this directory contains ten directories, named 0 through 9, and each of these contains ten directories named 0 through 9. Since they're all empty, I've deleted them each time. I get messages from the kernel that processes exited on signal 11 or 4 (mostly 11). I copied the following snippets from my daily security output emails (and one from the monthly one) between 4/1/01 and 4/23/01: alf.clearwateracademy.org kernel log messages: > pid 1756 (dump), uid 0: exited on signal 4 gzcat: /usr/share/man/man1/make.1.gz: unexpected end of file gzcat: /usr/share/man/man1/tip.1.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error Segmentation fault - core dumped alf.clearwateracademy.org kernel log messages: > pid 238 (httpd), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 alf.clearwateracademy.org kernel log messages: > pid 240 (httpd), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 > pid 13206 (perl), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) checking for passwordless accounts: awk: cmd. line:1: fatal error: internal error Abort trap - core dumped Is this an undue amount of errors for that time period? I'm also not sure what I'm to do when I see that something dumped core. So far, the only thing I've been able to do is to sometimes find the name.core file and delete it so that I don't get file system full messages. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure that you transfer a file in binary mode, not in ASCII mode (since Word documents, Zip files and almost any other file format except for plain text files, including HTML, XML, .txt, are binary files). If you are doing this through a Windows based FTP client, there should be an option in the Preferences dialog or the connection dialog to set the transfer mode to Binary. If you are using the command line version of FTP under Windows, type in `bin' right after you log in to switch to Binary transfer mode. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 10:34:41 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dualcpus.com (dualcpus.com [65.160.20.195]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 7ADF337B424 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 10:34:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jgowdy@home.com) Received: (qmail 9593 invoked from network); 23 Apr 2001 17:34:37 -0000 Received: from sherline.cts.com (HELO server2) (204.216.163.132) by dualcpus.com with SMTP; 23 Apr 2001 17:34:37 -0000 Message-ID: <000701c0cc1b$a7c458a0$015778d8@sherline.net> From: "Jeremiah Gowdy" To: , References: <0104231717100C.05409@david> Subject: Re: fgets/fputs Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 10:34:27 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" To: Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 10:08 AM Subject: fgets/fputs > I have a doubt on libc: > > Both fputs and fgets functions use a char* instead of char[255] > fgets (char *s, int count, FILE *stream) > fputs (const char *s, FILE *stream) Dude, why would they use char[255] ? They're any size you allocate. void main(void) { char str[255]; fgets(str,255,stdin); fputs(str,stdout); } or void main(void) { char *str; str=malloc(255); fgets(str,255,stdin); fputs(str,stdout); } > but the program only works when I define char[255] instead of char* as I show in > the source code below:...Why? char[255] allocates 255 bytes of data. char* is only a pointer, which points to nothing until you allocate some memory for it to point to. Your question is not really about libc. It's about a lack of basic understanding of "strings" (or lack therof) and pointers in C. You need a C programming book. The questions you're asking would be the first 3 chapters of any good C book.

In char str[255], str is a pointer to an allocated array of 255 characters. In char *str, str is a pointer to a char. If you use char str[255], fgets() has a place to put the data in (namely the 255 characters you allocated for it). If you use char *str, you have to allocate the memory first before you can let fgets() write into it.

If you declare str to be a char *, you need to initialize it calling malloc(3) to allocate memory.

A few years ago I saw some Alpha clone systems (using real Alpha processors) that were under $3,000. Compaq's site suspiciously refuses to give out any prices, but you might contact some of these North American distributers: Avnet AJ Denardo 480-643-5712 or 800-662-8638, Pioneer/Keylink Lauren Clemmer 440-498-6718, Wyle Donna Marie Martin 800-318-9953, Total Tec Bob Callaghan 732-906-0683 x221 Ask about the Alphastation DS10/XP900, DS20E, XP1000 and ES40 workstations. All of these sould work with FreeBSD, but the ES40 (which can have 4 processors) may work best with something that is more optimized for SMP like Tru64. This probably won't be an issue because I doubt that it will be available for said price range. FreeBSD version 5 probably won't be out for quite a while. :-/ > > If you would like to build your own array from scratch, Seagate makes a > > 160GB Ultra/160 SCSI drive.

I am tempted to reinstall from scratch and try again, but if anyone has any clues to help me out I would appreciate it. josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 11:22: 0 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail2.wmptl.com (mail2.wmptl.com [216.94.6.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 254AC37B422 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 11:21:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from webmaster@wmptl.com) Received: (from apache@localhost) by mail2.wmptl.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA47437; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 14:31:11 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from webmaster@wmptl.com) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 14:31:11 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <200104231831.OAA47437@mail2.wmptl.com> From: "Nathan Vidican" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Continously getting error 'rpc.statd: invalid hostname to sm_stat: ...' could it be a DOS attack?

A few days ago I bought myself a PCCHIPS motherboard (M810LMR). This board has virtually everything onboard: 10/100 networkdevice, vga, an ac97 codec-based soundcard and an AMR modem. My problem is getting the soundcard to work. I used following kernel options on a 4.3 RC4: device pcm device csa This in combination with options PNPBIOS. I also tried without PNPBIOS and with adding at isa? port? irq 10 drq ? flags 0x0 to both the pcm and the csa device. When I disable PNPBIOS I get following kernel message while booting: /kernel: pci0: (vendor=0x1039, dev=0x7018) at 1.4 irq 10 When I use PNPBIOS I also get that message but then I also have (about twenty lines lower): /kernel: unknown: can't assign resources /kernel: unknown: can't assign resources /kernel: unknown: can't assign resources /kernel: unknown: can't assign resources I tried all this with both PnP on and off in the BIOS. If anyone has similar experiences or has any clue what the problem might be, I'd be in heaven. thanx, -- dieter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 11:24:35 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.netsys.hn (mail.netsys.hn [200.41.53.45]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E586837B422 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 11:24:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from quintana@netsys.hn) Received: from HPLAPTOP.netsys.hn (support.netsys.hn [200.41.53.58]) by mail.netsys.hn (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id MAA00556 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:24:25 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <5.0.2.1.0.20010423122237.028b4a40@netsys.hn> X-Sender: quintana@netsys.hn X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:24:27 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Pablo Quintana Subject: Ports not installed?

Add the appropriate line to /etc/inetd.conf, and because inetd has tcpwrapper support built in, the service will be wrapped automatically. You don't need to add a reference to tcpd in inetd.conf, so it will be something like UnixMgmt stream tcp nowait root path/to/script.perl script.perl -anyscriptoptions You will need to edit /etc/hosts.allow: First, comment out the line that says ALL : ALL : allow Next, edit the rest of the file to make sense for your network. Finally, add something like this _before_ the last entry (the one that starts ALL : ALL : \ ) # allow only local network users to access UnixMgt service script.perl : 192.168.123.0/255.255.255.0 : allow script.perl : ALL : deny And then kill -HUP inetd to load all of the new config info. You can test to see what your tcp filters are doing with something like tcpdmatch script.perl 192.168.123.4 and it will tell you whether that address is allowed access or not. > Thankyou so much for your time. > > -Wash > I don't know that this is exactly right, but it should be real close. - Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 12: 1:35 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hindenburg.eboai.org (hindenburg.eboai.org [206.183.134.245]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4534E37B43C for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:01:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from chip@chocobo.cx) Received: by hindenburg.eboai.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 75BE75E2D8; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 15:01:30 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 15:01:30 -0400 From: Chip Marshall To: Brent Cc: "Questions freebsd.org" Subject: Re: Gaming on FreeBSD...

I think he probably meant that there is no hardware 3D acceleration support for the GeForce series. Under Xfree86 3.3.6, you can't use the card at all, IIRC, and under Xfree86 4.0.3, you'd need a kernel module to support DRI, and nVidia has only made their module available for Linux. So although the card does work, you'll have to do all your 3D stuff is software.

Anyone know why the CTM deltas haven't been getting updated? -- Thomas Russo * tvrusso@sandia.gov Dept 1734, Component Information and Models Mail Stop 0525, Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque, NM 87185-0525 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 12:36:32 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from chmod.ath.cx (CC2-861.charter-stl.com [24.217.115.99]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BDA4E37B423 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:36:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ajh3@chmod.ath.cx) Received: by chmod.ath.cx (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 3AB56A90D; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 14:35:47 -0500 (CDT) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 14:35:47 -0500 From: Andrew Hesford To: "Thomas (Matt) Barton" Cc: Andrew Hesford , "SPEAKEASY " , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: How Is The FeeBSD OS Like and Different Than Say Redhat or Suse LINUX Message-ID: <20010423143547.A3982@cec.wustl.edu> References: <20010423100129.A1552@cec.wustl.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: ; from matt@fear.net on Mon, Apr 23, 2001 at 11:10:52AM -0400 X-Loop: Andrew Hesford Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Mon, Apr 23, 2001 at 11:10:52AM -0400, Thomas (Matt) Barton wrote: > One of these days I'm going to try Slackware, only because I've been told > that it is supposed to take after BSD, but with the Linux kernel. Don't waste your time. Let's put it this way: it's more like BSD than any other linux distribution, but it's more like a linux distribution than BSD. You still have certain linux oddities that I don't like, for instance, a dynamically linked /bin and /sbin. I think the only things really close to BSD are the boot scripts. > Debian is just okay, for me. I used it for a brief period of time, but I > didn't like it. It just felt sloppy.

However, if you want binary package management in the linux world, Debian is the way to go.

How would you upgrade something like GTK? It seems to me that if you don't want to break dependencies, you must deinstall everything that depends on GTK, upgrade GTK, and reinstall everything else. I think when school gets out for summer in a few weeks, I'm going to start a compile-fest to upgrade all my software. > Another great thing about the ports collection is that everything gets > installed in /usr/local.

I agree with this... /usr/local is for "site-specific" software, but most linux distributions with binary packages seem to thing that "site-specific" is the same as "locally-compiled". If you ask me, /usr and / are for stuff that gives you a basic system, 99% likely to be identical on any machine you go to. /usr/local is for everything else (e.g., GNOME and KDE, other non-necessary apps).

What you are seeing, if the kernel doesn't have built-in support for your devices, is probably just a name string passed from the card on a PCI probe. This doesn't mean the device is useful just yet. However, depending on what the cards do and who makes them, it's possible the GENERIC kernel has support for the devices already built in. > Q2: Typically, to protect the computers from the intrusion, people purchase > a firewall programs (In Microsoft world).

In fact, the software that comes with FreeBSD is a million times better than those Windows firewalls (like Zone Alarm). Check the man pages on "ipfw" or "ipf"... I personally prefer ipfw, it seems a bit easier to configure and work with. Some people swear by ipf, though.

You might not get the newest games running perfectly, but hey, this isn't an operating system for playing sophisticated games. In fact, that's what windows is good for: games. Linux is only half-assed for games. Hardware compatibility, if you ask me, is on par with Linux. The major difference between us and Linux is that we don't put drivers in the kernel that say "EXPERIMENTAL"... that's what -CURRENT is for. This means, for example, that you won't get ACPI in -STABLE, but the Linux kernel does have "support" for ACPI. However, it's barely functional, and can't be used to manage power consumption yet. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 12:56:58 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (oe56.law8.hotmail.com [216.33.240.191]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0D75137B422 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:56:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from benjaminhyatt@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:56:54 -0700 X-Originating-IP: [139.87.90.77] Reply-To: "Ben Hyatt" From: "Ben Hyatt" To: "SPEAKEASY " , "Andrew Hesford" , "Thomas (Matt) Barton" Cc: References: Subject: Re: How Is The FeeBSD OS Like and Different Than Say Redhat or Suse LINUX Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:56:40 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.3018.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.3018.1300 Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 23 Apr 2001 19:56:54.0850 (UTC) FILETIME=[8BDE3A20:01C0CC2F] Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I haven't had a problem with the one linux binary I built ( linux netscape ).

Rhat saw the 20gig raid 5 partition no problem. -Ben ----- Original Message ----- > Dear Everyone; > What about compatiability with the Linux world will I be able to run stuff > compiled for Linux on freebsd without to much trouble? > > What about hardware compatibility just from reading the package it seems > that freebsd seems to support more hardware, is this true? > > > Sincerely > > Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 12:59:19 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from taurus.cs.albany.edu (taurus.cs.albany.edu [169.226.2.109]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 31B9B37B42C; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:59:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from maniatty@cs.albany.edu) Received: from slowpoke.cs.albany.edu (slowpoke.cs.albany.edu [169.226.2.176]) by taurus.cs.albany.edu (8.9.3+Sun/8.9.1) with ESMTP id PAA02623; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 15:58:51 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <200104231958.PAA02623@taurus.cs.albany.edu> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: maniatty@cs.albany.edu Subject: Current (as of 04/23/2001) 1000BaseT NICS Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 15:54:03 -0400 From: "William A.

I've tried the newsgroups to no-avail, can anyone make specific recommendations. I'd like to try both Linux and FreeBSD on the nodes, and was thinking that perhaps some vendors were releasing cards with compatible chip sets but that the on-line documentation had fallen out of date. Among the vendor offerings under consideration include the: 1) 3COM 3C996T 2) Asante Giganix 1000T (or 1000TPC) Can anyone tell me why the Asante Giganix is NOT listed under the revision 1.113, but not under revision 1.39.2.39 of the file: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/release/texts/HARDWARE.TXT Regards: Bill Maniatty -- |------------------------------------------| |Dr. William (Bill) A.

Try using mount_msdos's "-l" or "longnames" option, which forces long file names to be enabled. Depending on what commands you normally use to mount the zip disk, you may need to add "-o longnames" to the command line, or change the options field in /etc/fstab to something like "rw,longnames". "man mount_msdos" for further details.

Does anybody maintain this program anymore? Netboot is no longer maintained as part of FreeBSD; check out the "etherboot" port in /usr/ports/net/etherboot or on the web at http://www.etherboot.org FreeBSD also supports direct network booting via PXE if your motherboard has this capability. Search the web for "FreeBSD PXE" for more details.

I've noticed the same thing (KDE 2.1.1 on FreeBSD 4.2). I had a different thought, though. This happens to me if I've left KDE running overnight and then fire up kmail first thing in the morning. Kmail crashes, I restart it, and then it's fine for the rest of the day. This makes me wonder whether there's an overnight cron job that's "cleaning up" and perhaps deleting something being used by KDE and/or kmail. I'm quite new to FreeBSD and haven't tried to troubleshoot this problem yet, but I'm interested in whatever people have to say about it. M.

You can setup svscan to monitor services, and restart them automatically if they aren't running. However, if your bind is crashing, it's probably being remotely exploited, and you'll want to run a newer/stable/secure version. Also, while checking out daemontools, you may also consider switching to djbdns (also in /usr/ports), it's IMHO more secure, and hasn't been vulnerable to the latest string of bind exploits. Or even the older bind exploits for that matter. :-) Happy DNS'ing // Gary Here's some links you may want to check out: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 13:41: 1 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ds1.brooks.com (mailin.brooks.com [63.71.19.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2746837B422 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 13:40:59 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Jaeho.Lee@brooks.com) Received: from ims-naeast1.brooks.com ([10.10.254.19]) by ds1.brooks.com with esmtp (Exim 3.16 #1) id 14rn3V-0005Mp-00; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 16:35:33 -0400 Received: by ims-naeast1.brooks.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) id ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 16:40:01 -0400 Message-ID: <857F15D7E3D8D3118D290008C7CF058602C976A1@mail-naeast1.brooks.com> From: "Lee, Jaeho" To: 'Harbind' , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: Gerald Abshez Subject: RE: did not receive the our cd Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 16:37:39 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I don't think you can get the answer you want from this mailing list.

Linux is only half-assed for games. I have a program that I am interested in called Wordtrans. It translates words between language pairs. The maintainers produce rpm's and deb's. When it goes to install, it can't find some library's. I can use locate and they are there. I have the source and it will build but with a lot of manual work. It is setup to build Qt/KDE modules. There are problems building the KDE-2 modules but I am currently using the Qt-2 module. How did you deal with the dependancies when you tried to use Linux programs? Cleaning up the makefiles will take time that using the rpm's would avoid. That is only true if I can install them. The default languages are spanish<>english and german<>english but they really aren't limited to these two pairs. You can turn on "watch clipboard" and it will translate what you select with the mouse. Kent > > Hardware compatibility, if you ask me, is on par with Linux.

What is wrong? The CTM generating machine is down with hardware problems, but CTM isn't the primary distribution tool used by FreeBSD for distribution of the CVS repository; look into cvsup instead.

Actually, everything installs in /usr/local or /usr/X11R6, but only by default. You can change both of those defaults globally, and it works fairly well. Trying to change it for one package is pretty dicey. NetBSD choice of putting things in /usr/pkgs (or some such) instead of /usr/local has some advantages. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Linux and other Unix type platforms, > especially OpenBSD? > Are Open- And Free- BSD projects related somehow except names? And thus you ask questions on the FreeBSD maillist. It figures ;). The distinctive feature of OpenBSD is that it development team proactively performs structured walkthroughs of not only its code base but also of its 'port base'. Even more spectacular for users is that it installs a closed system by default. I.e. you don't have to turn off things like telnet. Then again, FreeBSD has its jails . There isn't all that much difference. BSD being BSD. Well, apart from Apple's OS/X which comes with the Mach micro-kernel. But basically they all come from the same tree (UNIX release 7 if I remember correctly ;) and only started to infight after Berkeley killed the Software Distribution project and the world went with the latest BSD/386 (? see above thingum). I'll spare you the details, if only because I followed them as you would any ...show - I was into Linux back then - but the end of it is that we've got three camps. NetBSD focussing on portability, FreeBSD focussing on efficiency and OpenBSD focussing on (well... I'll spare you the bad puns I came up with :) security. Yet they're all open source as is Linux. They all watch each other as hungry peregrines (I was going for that mythical beast (not the phoenix) but, alas, all that came out of my associative memory were some letters 'y', 'n', 'l', ...). That's another beauty of OSS, you can learn from each other. Nonetheless one has to make choices. It's therein they differ. Especially Linux . With choices come flipsides (of coins flipped). In the case of OpenBSD it is its conservatism at things/times. Like sticking with bind 4.x. Nothing wrong with that, but if you're used to bind 8 like I or would like some modernistic feature... You win some, you loose some. Hope this is of some help.

You should've seen the earlier ones! Whoo, wheee!! They actually had you calculating cylinders and sectors. That really took me back. Hadn't done that since 1987 or so. Great! The later releases I installed weren't all that bad. Actually quite smooth. However, it (OpenBSD 2.8) which ran just fine on the testbox, failed to run on the target machine. FreeBSD had no such qualms. Being on a deadline the choice was simple. The more so since, like you, I had/have more hands-on experience with FreeBSD than with OpenBSD. The reason I'd picked OpenBSD was indeed its focus on security. Whether or not that is such a big deal in reality was a moot point. It made for a great marketing USP ;). Also it supports several crypto cards. Though I just received note from one manufacturer that FreeBSD will release drivers too and soon!

I like having a secure setup out of the box per say. My only gripe with OpenBSD is it's lack of SMP, and no java 1.2 support.

This is a political issue, and comes up every once and a while. Basically, there are some people who feel that packages/ports don't fit under the traditional use of /usr/local. For instance, /usr/opt (where I put /usr/local) is on /usr and gets backed up with /usr. /usr/local is reserved for things that I don't have copies of on the FreeBSD cdroms or CVSUP server, and points at a place that get backed up on a different schedule. Moving packages to /usr/pkgs means we get them split. Those who think they shouldn't be split can just symlink /usr/local to /usr/pkgs, or vice versa, and get what they have now with one extra symlink. The reverse doesn't work. Also, moving packages to /usr/pkgs by default means ports developers have to actually *fix* all the /usr/local dependencies in the port. In general, they do a good job and most are quite prompt about fixing broken ports - especially if you provide them - but it'd be nice if that problem just didn't come up. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

If there was a BSD machine or Cisco on the other side, use a tunnel! Otherwise, You can do it with multiple outside IP's...but it is tricky if you try to leave it on the inside network.

You can get rpm running, I believe I have it installed (it was required for linux realplayer). Then, provided you have all the mandatory packages, you should be able to install them without trouble. The only thing you want to check is that linux packages are installed in /usr/compat/linux/usr rather than /usr... you wouldn't want linux stuff overwriting native FreeBSD stuff.

The only practical advantage I see is further division of software. It's solely a matter of personal preference. I personally think the practices of both FreeBSD and NetBSD are just fine. Both are better than the linux package-default of dumping everything into /usr, which makes administration and organization an absolute nightmare. Both rpm and dpkg do this, and I absolutely hate it. As far as the BSDs are concerned, if you ask me, stick with the layout that the system uses by default. One beauty of UNIX is its customizability, but for something trivial, where both options are interchangeable, I think customization is foolish. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 16:37:32 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from chmod.ath.cx (CC2-861.charter-stl.com [24.217.115.99]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A218337B423 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 16:37:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ajh3@chmod.ath.cx) Received: by chmod.ath.cx (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 1ECE0A90D; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 18:36:47 -0500 (CDT) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 18:36:47 -0500 From: Andrew Hesford To: Jonathan Chen Cc: "Charles A.

He forgot to tell us the size of the partition... if it's something like 25M, it is easy to see why it has filled up. In any event, the fact that he's having this problem suggests he's new to UNIX and the multiple partition scheme... just about every new UNIX user winds up reinstalling after a month or so to correct foolish mistakes. Looks like it's your turn, Mr. Jeffrey; remember to make a larger root partition this time. Of course, if the partition layout is lousy (like everything on one or two partitions), you may be able to postpone the install by creating some extra partitions and moving stuff there. Here's a layout I use: SIZE MOUNT ~7G /usr/home ~10G /usr 250M / 200M /var Yes, many will call this wasteful use of space on /, but hey, disk space is cheap, and I'm not using it.

Basically what happens is if my PPPoE sesssion dies for whatever reason and FreeBSD reconnects, the tun0 interface keeps all the old IP addresses and the new one. For example, here's a look at ifconfig tun0 on my machine this morning: tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1492 inet 61.9.176.53 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff inet 61.9.171.78 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff inet 61.9.177.xxx --> 172.31.18.24 netmask 0xff000000 Opened by PID 150 You can see the first two IP addresses, 61.9.176.53 and 61.9.171.78, have dummy/null gateways. These IP addresses are the IP addresses I was using previously. The IP address 61.9.177.xxx is my current (masked) IP address with a correct gateway. I don't experience a loss of functionality but it is something I have to remember when I write scripts that might need to extract IP address info. Also I don't like seeing IP addresses I'm not using anymore still configured on my system. My machine is now 4.3R but I've seen the same issue since 4.1.1R. Any ideas? My ISP is Telstra Bigpond in Australia. My ISP account is pretty simple, I'm not meant to get a block of IP addresses or anything like that. Just one account, one IP address at one time.

That PCI modem is the Dynalink PCI Card 56k model 1456VQH-T2 modem card. This website has files with '.ko' Lucent modem drivers: http://www.geocities.com/wtnbkysh/ The /dev/MAKEDEV script had to be edited and then run, and then kldload could be run, and then ppp ran. The modem seemed to run OK for browsing, but when the card was stress tested with a TCP packet emitting program, it returned 'panic page fault in kernel mode' errors. One message that would appear maybe every ten minutes if the machine was also doing something else, was "kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled". Also under that testing in FreeBSD 4.3 beta 2, the Lucent winmodem (or the setup) could not transport more data per second than a 33kbaud ISA Rockwell chipset modem card I have. That's in a 150MHz PC. To get it running, I ignored most of the 'wtnbkysh' instructions on recompiling and the MAKEDEV script was edited, and then run, and then kldload was run to load the downloaded '.ko' driver file. No compiling was needed. Anybody know if the kernel mode page faults are going to be fixed? (maybe integrated into the kernel?: I saw some ltmdm code in the /usr/src directory of 4.3b2).

I have a Creative CT4810 (a.k.a ES1371) PCI and have "PNP OS" tur ned off in the BIOS.

I take it to read that the locate.updatedb process will run as the user `nobody'. This means that /var/db/locate.database must be owned by `nobody', and that any directories that aren't readable by `nobody' will be in locate.database.

You _could_ force a package-delete with the '-f' option, but I dunno what that would break in terms of applications that depend on it. If you're lucky nothing; if the library has changed radically, all dependant applications will stop working. The safest way (which also happens to be the most time-consuming one) is to delete the dependancies as well, and rebuild them once the new library is in. -- Jonathan Chen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "I love deadlines.

It doesn't have a lot of detail on creating a bootable CD (I still haven't done that), but the general idea is that you create an image of a bootable floppy - except you get to use a 2.88M floppy for the kernel - and put that in the tree for the CD. You then use the -b flag of mkisofs to point out where the boot image is in the tree, and it should do the rest.

And the price is 0.00 + telephone costs! Here is the story from last weekend: I was in search of a Linux distro that could be downloaded. So I stumbled upon FreeBSD and decided to give it a try. First I installed FreeBSD 4.2 via FTP with PPP. I succeeded at the x'th attempt ;-) (gave up counting how many times I booted the floppies) Then I tried installing KDE 2.0, but it didn't work. Konqueror complain about "coun't create view for text/html" and other apps are exploding too... Then I tried to upgrade to FreeBSD 4.3 RC 3 but you can't install it via FTP/PPP, it complains that the tunnel device isn't present. So I downloaded the "bin" and "crypto" (<-- because I read in the mail archives that "libssl.so.2" is conained in the crypto) distros onto my Windows partition and installed from there. No problem here too. Now I can run KDE 2.1.1 and it works with no problem at all. I am currently writing this mail in K-Mail :-) Next I will try KDevelop. many greetings and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! -chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 18: 2:55 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from newmail.jp.psi.net (newmail.jp.psi.net [198.183.137.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6FD3437B43F for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 18:02:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kearneyl@jp.psi.net) Received: from kearneyl (ip244.ohsaki.jp.psi.net [198.183.137.244]) by newmail.jp.psi.net (Mirapoint) with SMTP id AAD01329; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 10:02:24 +0900 (JST) Message-ID: <005901c0cc5a$657f0500$f489b7c6@kearneyl> Reply-To: "Luke Kearney" From: "Luke Kearney" To: "FreeBSD" Subject: Bind9 troubles Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 10:03:37 +0900 Organization: PSINet Japan MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, Any ideas what could be causing the problems below.

Here's > a layout I use: Actually, everything on one or two partitions is *recommended* for typical workstations these days. Merging two partitions while allocating the same amount of space to them makes it less likely either one will run out of space - after all, the unused space is now shared between them so it's *all* available if one of them needs it, as opposed to only half of it being available. > SIZE MOUNT > ~7G /usr/home > ~10G /usr > 250M / > 200M /var > > Yes, many will call this wasteful use of space on /, but hey, disk space > is cheap, and I'm not using it.

Personally, I keep / & /var on one file system that's currently about 31% full, because they are just *full* of interesting configuration information I consider precious. /usr is pretty much everything else that comes off the CDROMs or sup server, and as such is considered expendable. /home is personal stuff, and is even more precious than /. But I keep the / and /home separate so I can do a clean reinstall without frying /home (and yes, I've done that at times). http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

The su-behaviour you describe for `nobody:wheel' is incorrect, easily provable on any fresh install of 4.X; root can su to anyone, wheel group constaints are only required to su to root. What I suspect is that one of the executables that is invoked by the script has got the wrong permissions on it; ie it's got o= instead of o=rx, that's why when you add nobody to the wheel group (which is very bad a security risk), you can run the 310.locate script. Check the permissions on /usr/libexec/locate.*. They should be root:wheel with permissions of 555. If these look good, you may have to do a `mtree' to clobber all your system permissions back into place. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet: an empirical test of the idea that a million monkeys banging on a million keyboards can produce Shakespeare To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 18:50: 7 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from virtual2.sysadmin-inc.com (ns2.sysadmin-inc.com [209.16.228.145]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 891FC37B424 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 18:50:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from peter@sysadmin-inc.com) Received: (qmail 11347 invoked by alias); 17 Apr 2001 20:10:45 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO w2kstest) (10.10.1.70) by virtual2.sysadmin-inc.com with SMTP; 17 Apr 2001 20:10:45 -0000 From: "Peter Brezny" To: Subject: test Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 16:17:15 -0400 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Peter Brezny SysAdmin Services Inc.

The solution that finally worked was simply to use the default sendmail.cf and define Dj, DS and DM at the locations where they are shown. (I was had not defined Dj previously.) Question: Does the placement of the definitions in the file matter? That is, if I defined Dj at the end of sendmail.cf, would it still work? I should now be able to dial into one modem, dial the internet on the second modem, and manage my email without dealing with XWindow. Is this really necessary? No, but I'm having a lot of fun learning!

I'd rule out any low-level problems in the serial port or modem or you wouldn't see "marki" as a username in the log. It's probably something simple such as the password is case sensitive and your sending the wrong case, or the /etc/ppp directory is not readable by ppp or the files in it aren't readable by ppp, or the Windows client is sending a space character in the password or the ppp config files have extra characters in them that you aren't aware of or something like that. Note also my comment in the article aobut NT4 cleartext being required, if your running NT. See if you can test with a different Windows client if possible. Also don't rule out a bug in pppd too. The truth is that these days very few people are building dedicated multiport PPP servers using PC's because they want to support V90 indial, which requires an ISDN line. (although I'd be interested in anyone's experiences with the US Robotics Courier I-Modem which will support incoming V90 calls) Most people that set their FreeBSD workstations up for indial are doing it casually and also want to make outgoing calls on their phone line and so they use the user-mode ppp because there's more information out there for the casual user. As a result I think that in recent years that pppd has been more used for outdial than indial.

If the client is running Windows 2000, both MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2 should be disabled in many cases to login successfully. To do so, open up the dial-up icon, choose Properties and under the Security tab, instead of using the default security, choose Advanced and click the settings button. Remove the check from both CHAP checkboxes and OK all the way back out. We have run into weird problems at times when dialing into a straight UNIX box when either options were enabled.

Here's some possible reasons: 1) bad cache ram so when data is passed through the CPU from core to peripherals it gets trashed 2) bad main ram so when data is passed through the CPU from core to peripherals it gets trashed. BIOS settings in mboard that run the ram too fast or with wrong RAS/CAS speeds 3) bus set to wrong multiplier and it's running too fast (isa bus should not be run past 8Mhz) 4) CPU set to wrong multiplier (check jumpers) 4a) CPU overclocked 4b) CPU running too hot 5) CPU set to too low or high a voltage 6) hardware conflict between 2 peripheral cards that causes data transfers on the bus to fail or be trashed 7) failing IDE disk drive electronics that trash data that is coming off or going into the disk 8) failing electronics in network adapter. 9) network card cannot do full-duplex and hub thinks it can Some computers (like Compaq) have very good system diagnostics disks that you can run for hours on the system to see if there's problems. Something's badly wrong here. Can you pull the disk out temporairly and put it into another system and see if the problems in the new system go away?

I don't know if you can use state rules to allow more than one machine to play the games from behind your NAT/firewall box, but I've found that if the game uses UDP for communications (and most internet games do), and you only have one IP address visible to the internet, then you need to pick a single machine for running the game, and then set up the IP rules to route the UDP packets to that port to the machine that runs the game. For example, I play Starcraft, and all the Blizzard games use UDP port 6112. In my natd.conf, I have: redirect_port udp 10.0.2.22:6112 6112 where 10.0.2.22 is the IP address for the internal machine on which I play Starcraft. My firewall has the following after the divert rule: add 5005 pass udp from any 6112 to any 6112 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 23 22:18:14 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from q.closedsrc.org (ip233.gte15.rb1.bel.nwlink.com [209.20.244.233]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 97EC237B422 for ; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 22:18:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from lplist@closedsrc.org) Received: by q.closedsrc.org (Postfix, from userid 1003) id C007755407; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 22:12:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by q.closedsrc.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B05B851610; Mon, 23 Apr 2001 22:12:07 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 22:12:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Linh Pham To: Doug Young Cc: Ted Mittelstaedt , Mark Ibell , Subject: Re: PPP server problem In-Reply-To: <075401c0cc7d$6e62c940$0400a8c0@oracle> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 2001-04-24, Doug Young scribbled: # I'd rather have a WinMeE box than an NT4 anyday ..... at least one can give # the thing a dirty look without it responding with a BSOD !!!

Every FHS-compliant Linux distribution reserves /usr/local for _you_ to use. It is for _local_ stuff only. Doesn't this make sense? If you compile a home-grown or self-ported app for FreeBSD, where would you put it? I hope you don't dump it in /usr/local with all the stuff provided by FreeBSD! It looks like you need a /usr/local/local or /usr/local_I_REALLY_MEAN_IT for this. Putting emacs under /usr/local is a relic from the days when you'd buy a real UNIX system without emacs. It made sense, since you were installing local (your site) additions. Now you get emacs on a CD-ROM along with the rest of your OS. Why worry about /etc becoming "cluttered" anyway? You only push the problem into another location. Now /usr/local/etc is cluttered. If you simply want to cut the "/bin/ls" output in half, then you might do better with /1/etc /2/etc /3/etc... but why at all? If performance is a problem, work on the filesystem. If being hard to glance over is a problem, you don't gain anything by having more places for junk to collect.

well you need to first populate your = ports tree.=20 either you do it via cvsup or from your cd.
 
if you want via cvsup copy the file=20 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile in your root's home dir, edit = the line=20 where it says which cvsup server to use, then do "cvsup ports-supfile" = as=20 root.  after that you can now install from your ports.

Subject: Ports not = installed?

I get this message when trying to 'make install' to a = port I've=20 downloaded:

internet# make = install

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I've just built the above from the port and am getting this error: "Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /usr/local/www/try.php on line 17" So, I assume this is an install fault of some description - most likely a fault in not compiling with the appropriate flag. I thought I selected support for MySQL when I compiled from the port, let's look for evidence.... Grepping in /usr/ports/www/apache13-php4/work/php for 'with-mysql' we see this line: INSTALL:$ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars So that gives the impression that we compiled and configured with mysql support enabled. However, if I run the phpinfo(INFO_ALL) function, we don't get any references to mysql at all. I also renamed php.ini-dist to php.ini and verified that it was on the path php was looking on (/usr/local/etc). I can't be the first, and it must be a no-brainer of some description. Anyone know what's going on?

It reserves /usr/local for site-specific programs. You illustrate the ass-backwards mentality that linux subscribes to, dumping every package into /usr. So now, forced by foolishness into a lesson of what "site-specific" means, here we go: "Site-specific" means, quite simply, software that is individually selected, and varies from system to system. This naturally includes stuff you build, but it also includes stuff you install from packages. It is important to note that "locally compiled" and "site-specific" are NOT the same thing. This is where linux distributions, like RedHat and Debian, seem to be confused. We know what comprises "locally compiled" software, but what about "site-specific"? To demonstrate this, first look at the complement of "site-specific": "site-inspecific". Site-inspecific software is not software that "feels" like it is fairly standard, and it is not what you and your buddies agree is universal. It is software that is installed in the vast majority of systems of the same type (in this case, FreeBSD). We will call this the "base system", and in order to ensure that it is installed in the vast majority of systems, it must be that this software must be explicitly removed if it is not wanted. The FreeBSD base (all the stuff in /usr/src) satisfies this condition. When you install FreeBSD, all those programs are on your system. If you don't want some of them, you must explicitly remove them by adding entries to /etc/make.conf, and manually removing the files associated with the programs you do not want. This means the FreeBSD base is site-inspecific, which means it is not site-specific (the two are mutually exclusive), so it does not belong in /usr/local. This is why /usr/src programs install in / and /usr. Packages, on the other hand, vary from system to system. Whether they are compiled locally or by somebody else, they are site-specific, since they are not located on the vast majority of systems. For instance, the presence of GNOME or KDE can vary from system to system. I have GNOME because I need it to run gnucash. If I didn't have gnucash, I wouldn't have GNOME. I do not have KDE. Either way, these programs belong in /usr/local, because they are not a part of the site-inspecific system. Neither is gnucash; consequently, it belongs in /usr/local. You will notice that vi is in /usr/bin. This is in the /usr/src tree and is installed on every system unless manually removed. However, its cousin vim may not be present on all systems (and must be explicitly selected), and so vim goes into /usr/local/bin. I do not have emacs, and you can bet a great deal of vim users don't keep emacs around. This is why emacs goes in /usr/local: not because it has historically been put there, but because it is site-specific. Of course, even if you do take the ridiculous position that only self-compiled programs belong in /usr/local, remember that every port is locally compiled. Hence everything except the stuff in /usr/src belongs in /usr/local by your own standard. The prebuilt packages are simply a drop-in replacement for ports; it would be an administration nightmare if locally-compiled ports were intalled in a different location than the packages built from the ports tree. That being said, I can tell you exactly why this poor placement practice has been effected in the linux world. The answer is that linux has no real base system. Pretty much the only thing you can count on between distributions is the kernel, and the GNU file utilities. In fact, this is just about all the Debian distribution leaves you with after install, if you choose not to select packages. The result is that Debian's base is about 20M, consisting of basic file utilities, a kernel, and the necessary tools to install more packages. It would seem foolish to have /usr populated with <20M worth of programs; hence they dump all packages into /usr, and say /usr/local is reserved for self-built programs. No reasonable mind can confuse "site-specific" with "locally-compiled". What we see here is a practice of dumping everything in /usr because linux distributions have no consistent base, and ad hoc explanation for this practice to put people at ease. Over the years this practice has been implemented, people have been brainwashed into thinking this is a logical way of organizing a filesystem, but the truth is, where everything is largely package-based as it is in Debian, the result is virtually all programs are stored in /usr and almost nothing is kept in /usr/local. This is highly disorganized. In this respect, it can be said that FreeBSD follows the Linux Filesystem Standard better than any linux distribution! Before you attack me or try to explain the reasoning behind this lack of organization, do take the time to consider: 1) /usr/local is reserved for site-specific software. 2) Everything in the ports tree (and the packages that represent ports) qualifies as site-specific by any stretch of the imagination. 3) The Linux Filesystem Standard makes no provsion for self-compiled software. NOTE: FHS 2.1 states that /usr/local "is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally." This does NOT mean locally compiled (or else they would have said "compiled"), but instead has the same meaning as site-specific. /usr/local must be protected from overwriting when the system software is updated. For FreeBSD, this is then everything not found in /usr/src, since /usr/src is the source for the "system software", and is the only software updated during a system update (make world). Hence the FreeBSD organization is logical even by this consideration alone. It is equally logical for linux distributions to store everything in /usr, then, because nobody has any idea where the linux "system" ends and local software begins. The final result is that either way you look at it, the FreeBSD organization is intelligent and logical. For linux, the virtue of organization depends on how you look at /usr/local. If you follow the FHS word-for-word, then linux does a reasonable job by virtue of its lack of division between site-specific software and base software. If you follow a reasonable definition of site-specific, linux is ass-backwards. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 0:50:33 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from new-smtp2.ihug.com.au (new-smtp2.ihug.com.au [203.109.250.28]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A865D37B423 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 00:50:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from john@jmv.com.au) Received: from [203.173.153.241] (p49-max21.syd.ihug.com.au [203.173.153.241]) by new-smtp2.ihug.com.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA04538 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:50:24 +1000 X-Authentication-Warning: new-smtp2.ihug.com.au: Host p49-max21.syd.ihug.com.au [203.173.153.241] claimed to be [203.173.153.241] X-Sender: john/jmv@mail.webtapestry.net Message-Id: In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:53:33 +1000 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org From: John Vender Subject: Re: box with scsi doesn't boot after install - fixed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG found the cure to my problem, my mistake was choice of boot manager, I had= to select Standard which I hadn't tried before.

Any ideas what is wrong with the above config file ? -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 Mobile: +44 (0) 788 431 1675 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 1:10: 5 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from clientmail.realtime.co.uk (simian.realtime.co.uk [194.205.134.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D740637B43F for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 01:10:03 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from waynep@zaphod.realtime.co.uk) Received: from zaphod.realtime.co.uk ([194.205.134.208]) by clientmail.realtime.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 3.20 #1) id 14rxsM-00015y-01; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 09:08:46 +0100 Received: from waynep by zaphod.realtime.co.uk with local (Exim 3.20 #1) id 14rxsD-0006OE-00; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 09:08:37 +0100 From: Wayne Pascoe To: "Brent" Cc: , "Mark Sergeant" , , "markemmanuel" , Questions freebsd.org Subject: Re: Gaming on FreeBSD...

Maybe redirecting stdin to "/dev/ttyd0" before calling ppp with the "-direct" option would accomplish this? If so, does anyone know how to do this?

It gave the following error unless 'login' was put back in /etc/ppp/options: pppd: peer authentication required but no suitable secret(s) found pppd: for authenticating any peer to us (iris.my.domain) I've tried connecting from FreeBSD (ppp) and NT. In both cases the password is apparently received correctly if you look at the debug. Maybe something broke in new versions of pppd, I realize your article is fairly old now. I'm even tempted to try an old release of FreeBSD (like 2.2.6 or something) as your technique of running pppd directly on the serial ports without using getty is amazingly simple and elegant and I can't see how the same thing could be achieved using ppp. Any ideas? Anyway, thanks for your help so far and keep up the good work :) Cheers, Mark Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > Try removing the "login" keyword from /etc/ppp/options > and adding in marki in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets like so: > > marki * blah > > then see if it authenticates.

When playing MP3's for an extended time using XMMS my system will lock solid. No response from the keyboard other than an ability to turn my numlock light on and off. Totally unable to login remotely either. Only way to bring the system back is to do a hard power down. I'm pretty convinced I'm not dealing with an interrupt problem. This is the second sound card I've installed, and both have had the same problem. This one hasn't been quite as bad, as this lock up problem has been more intermittent. Presently have a SoundBlaster32 in there. It'll play MP3's just fine for hours, and even do KDE noises as well. Then with no warning, total lock up. There doesn't seem to be any set thing I can do to recreate the problem, nor do I see any errors being generated. Well, other than a ton of fragmentation and corrupted files from having a hard reboot. Yes, I am running SoftUpdates. Two basic questions for all this. First off, is anyone else out there who is using FreeBSD as a desktop machine able to play MP3's on any player for an extended period of time? Secondly, is there someplace specific on my system that I should be looking to see if I can track this down? I'd like to put in a bug report, but as you can see from my description I don't yet have enough to put one together. Any help at all would be appreciated.

What surprises me is that they push heavily on the 'secure by default' - as in 'we don't start anything by default'. Surely once you try to bring up a usable system, you've 'voided your warranty'? I notice the 'no local exploits in the default install' on the main website went to 'only 1 local exploit in the default install' until finally it vanished :) Don't get me wrong, OpenBSD has put some good technology into the public domain (bcrypt in particular is long overdue) but most of these advances get merged inot Free|Net BSD anyway. bcrypt is in freebsd-current at present I think. OpenBSd is certainly marketed as more secure, but I haven't seen a *huge* of innovations we don't have. bcrypt, password.conf etc not withstanding. I think the distinction comes from a: "What's the difference between Net / Free/Open BSD?" To which the answer is: NetBSD - runs on everything. Toasters, doorbells, the lot. OpenBSD - built like a tank. Sucky SMP support. FreeBSD - fastest i386 OS on the planet. Doesn't run on much else though. I just wish people didn't insist on using these one-liners as the basis for writing articles at places like ZDNet.... -- Any clod can have the facts, but having an opinion is an art. -- Charles McCabe Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns :: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 2:48: 9 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from guppy.vub.ac.be (guppy.vub.ac.be [134.184.129.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C500237B422 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 02:48:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dieter@FreeBSD.rave.org) Received: from R2D2.rave.org (igwesl4.vub.ac.be [134.184.49.24]) by guppy.vub.ac.be (8.9.1b+Sun/3.17.1.ap (guppy)) id LAA26350; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 11:48:03 +0200 (MET DST) for Received: (qmail 66989 invoked by uid 1980); 24 Apr 2001 09:48:11 -0000 Received: from localhost (sendmail-bs@127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 24 Apr 2001 09:48:11 -0000 Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 11:48:11 +0200 (CEST) From: X-X-Sender: Reply-To: To: Mark Sergeant Cc: Subject: Re: another soundcard question In-Reply-To: <200104240118.f3O1IVL00787@xyzzy.intranet.snsonline.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 23 Apr 2001, Mark Sergeant wrote: > My guess is that it is an intel 440 based sound card, if so you might want to > try the following URL.

It's a motherboard for an AMD athlon/duron (socket A). Intel doesn't make chipsets for AMD processors. :) However as I am willing to try everything I compiled the thing, at least I tried. However, this gave me tons of compile errors. I haven't even bothered trying to fix the code because I don't believe it will help me.

Due to the way cvsup (and CVS in general) works, the system checks what versions are installed before it gets anything so that it only gets what is necessary to update to the latest versions. It updates on a file-by-file update basis rather than the (for example) Windows Update which downloads patches in a large, often multi-MB, file and then applies them. I don't know if cvsup will sit there merrily while the connection is down and then auto-resume once the connection is back. I do know that if you just kill the cvsup process and restart it once the connection is back up it will pick up exactly where it left off because the files that it has already done are obviously at the latest version. All part of the magic that is CVS. Isn't it wonderful? :) *************************************** Andrew McKay Located near Birmingham, England Catalogue available on request *************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 4:29:55 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from chg.ru (netserv1.chg.ru [193.233.46.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 96FE637B423 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 04:29:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sidim@chat.ru) Received: from video1.ras.ru (video1.ras.ru [193.124.148.67]) by chg.ru (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA70085 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 15:29:49 +0400 (MSD) (envelope-from sidim@chat.ru) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="koi8-r" From: ds To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: startgnome Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 15:30:08 +0400 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <01042415300801.72898@video1.ras.ru> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello!

Thus since the firm makes the same profit for the "more expensive products made entirely by men that cost more" as they make on the "less expensive products made entirely by women that don't cost as much" the firm then has a strong disincentive to equalize the pay scale. (because if they raise the women's wage they lose money and if they lower the men's wage then they lose the men employees and thus cannot make the market preference anymore) > the rational act at that point is an all-female work >force . . . > Which is self-correcting as what happens then is everyone else wants the cheaper women, competition sets in and drives up their price and you end up with both being paid the same.

I don't think FBSD suffers from the too many cooks problem. The releases are stable and coherant. The kernel is fairly easy to read source-wise. (Probably as far as kernel's go). The reason committee works better sometimes is that you have a better chance NOT to make the mistake that Linus did in the 2.0.x kernels of designing a kernel that only allows one CPU to be in kernel data structures at a time which thusly thwarts SMP. 2.4.x is different but most of the changes that a pro-SMP are in the network stack. If you want to look at too many cooks you should see that there are many linux distributions all with different library sets. Ever run something that was "RedHat Linux only?".

I keep it on my machine because I get paid to work on it at work. I am fairly familiar with the kernel innards. (Well moreso than a complete kernel newbie).

Well I am learning about this stuff now but since FreeBSD is a direct decendant of the original BSD. And BSD was the first Unix and the first OS anywhere to have TCP/IP who do you think most likely has the most mature and sophistocated methods of dealing with it? FreeBSD 4.2 still beats linux in every network benchmark except email handling... even in the 2.4.x kernels.

If the library has changed radically enough, all dependent applications will stop working in this case as well. In the worst case, they'll fail to build because something like the include file structure has changed, and the dependency test they used fails to reinstall the old version. Of course, reinstalling the old version on top of the new one may well be worse than failing to build.

Yes, but "ports are just pre-ported stuff to make your life simple" is the counterargument. Unless you want to treat the two differently, it really doesn't make any difference. Since I do want to treat them differently (because I can restore packages from the CDROM set), I agree with you, and set LOCALBASE= /usr/opt in /etc/make.conf. > Putting emacs under /usr/local is a relic from the days when > you'd buy a real UNIX system without emacs. It made sense, > since you were installing local (your site) additions. Now you > get emacs on a CD-ROM along with the rest of your OS. I've got emacs under /usr/local. That's because I didn't like any of the versions in the ports tree, so grabbed mine from xemacs.org. As such, it ain't on the CDROM set it goes in /usr/local, not /usr/opt. This does bring up a question - how many Linux package distribution systems let you change the installation point if you want to? http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

The best way is with a utility that works on the disk at a low level, a la SCSI. I don't know if this is available for your ATA drive. If not, see "man badsect". (I use SCSI only, cheaper if you use old server hardware, so I have no direct experience with this method).

I also pkg_delete-ed everything listed in /var/db/pkg, cvsup-ed, did a make world, did a mergemaster, and then re-compiled (make install) all of the ports that I need. I then ran the above script (920.backups) twice for stress testing. It seemed fine. I declared the server good and put it back into service. On the morning of the second full day back in service, I get another kernel panic. This time, the gdb output looks like this: zeus:crash>ls bounds kernel.3 vmcore.2 kernel.2 minfree vmcore.3 zeus:crash>pwd /var/crash zeus:crash>gdb -k kernel.3 vmcore.3 GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I would be happy to answer questions about this set up. If it is possible that I can contribute data (like kernel.? and vmcore.? files) to help anyone fix bugs, I'd be happy to do so. Remember, the afpd file server was sharing out a vinum RAID-5 array, so there may be some helpful information in those kernel dump files.

I don't see why "dumping" it in /usr/local is any worse than Linux "dumping" it in /usr. As for home-grown or self-ported apps, they belong in ~/bin. Anyone who has had to use a Unix system w/o the root password knows this. As a sysadmin I've had to beat this into a number of luser's heads over the years. *I* keep my personal stuff in ~/bin, and I'm the only user on most of my FreeBSD systems. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

The staic content is stored on nfs mounts. In general our FreeBSD servers are very fast, very efficient, they are the real workhorses of our server farm. We have two main problems that keep re-ocurring. One is that machines occationaly get stuck in vmopar. (Kernel Bug 14033) A problems which I believe is still unresolved. The second, more frequent annoyance is thttpd getting stuck in the 'objtrm' state while the nfs client hangs is vm_object_terminate(). Searching the archives I see this was once Kern/1159 but obviously that was a while ago. All my searches so far seem to indicate that is problem should have been cleared up long ago, yet I have had to reboot 3 servers in the last 12 hours because of it. The only thing we can do when this happens is ungracefully reboot the system without syncing the file system, as a normal reboot will just hang the machine as the objtrm process just won't die. I wish I knew a better way or could help to create a better resolution. Has anyone else seen this behavior recently? I will hopefully soon upgrade at least a test server to to the latest 4.x stable as well as the most recent release of thttpd so I can take full advantage of accept filters. Hopefully that will solve/help some of our woes. But I was wondering if anyone had any insite/experiece similar to ours with objtrm. -Marius M.

FreeBSD doesn't install anything into /usr/local unless I tell it to do so, such as installing something from the ports collection.

The ports collection is no different than me downloading the source code and compiling it myself. The ports collection just makes it very convenient. It is NOT a part of the base install of FreeBSD. It is optional. > Why worry about /etc becoming "cluttered" anyway? You only push the > problem into another location. Now /usr/local/etc is cluttered.

There are only two etc's that I have to deal with. One is for base FreeBSD stuff and the other is for software installed from the ports collection. It isn't a big server. It does nothing but file serving, NAT, and a few other services. -- Matt Barton matt@fear.net Indianapolis, IN http://www.mattbarton.ws/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 8:21:31 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from q.closedsrc.org (ip233.gte15.rb1.bel.nwlink.com [209.20.244.233]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 30CDF37B422 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 08:21:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from lplist@closedsrc.org) Received: by q.closedsrc.org (Postfix, from userid 1003) id 3FA6655407; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 08:15:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by q.closedsrc.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 31F0D51610; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 08:15:22 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 08:15:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Linh Pham To: Ted Mittelstaedt Cc: "~/.signature" , Subject: RE: the AMD factor in FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <008f01c0ccb2$66cc8ba0$1401a8c0@tedm.placo.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Looks like John Baldwin got a dually AMD Athlon on 760MP booted and was nice enough to run mptable to show off the goods.

Yes.  There is work going on to support this and patches will probably
be available sometime in the near future.  We actually have a working
implementation and I believe it just needs to be tested more before it
is unleashed upon the world.

Single user for make installworld; buildworld is OK if you're multi-user. 2 choices to get /usr mounted boot -s at the loader then mount -a (may need to 'mount -rw /' first, can't say I have) that'll work. Personally I go for booting multiuser with the new kernel, then issuing 'shutdown now' to stop all daemons. 2 advantages to this are: 1 = you get to see if your system will go multi-user with the new kernel. 2 = all your disks get mounted for you. -- Self Test for Paranoia: You know you have it when you can't think of anything that's your own fault.

Yes.  There is work going on to support this and patches will probably
be available sometime in the near future.  We actually have a working
implementation and I believe it just needs to be tested more before it
is unleashed upon the world.

I am interested in FreeBSD and how it compares to other systems like win2000, esp because I would like to build a big powerful super computer and am investigating options for my os. first of all, (please humbly pardon my ignorance) what does the comment re sockets mean. secondly, is this true about bsd. and thirdly, can it be improved, or is it a property of cgi and fixed? the source article is at http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/migration/hotmail/default.asp if it is not true, then surely there is no need to migrate to Win2000 at all ....

Is the Intel Pro/1000T Server adapter supported yet? It's gig over copper, and you can get a pair of them for $230.00 via an attractive Intel promo. (http://www.intel.com//network/offers/testdrive_adapter.htm) I see that the Wiseman-based Intel gig NIC is supported in the kernel, and the man page for wx claims support for Wiseman and Livengood chipsets, but I don't know if what chipset this NIC has. I'm going to give it a shot in either case, but wonder if someone knows for sure.

I had do much more than is in the HOWTO.....I guess once I succeed I will try to write down all steps (without the tech details of course because I don't have the strength to go against Marcell ;-)=20 One of the few things one has to do is to add a group called 'dba' and add oracle user you created to this group. Again you have some mount points to create in $ORACLE_BASE ... _and_ there is a file in /orainst/bin called gensyslib in which you have to add a /bin so that cat is /bin/cat. Instead of patching the files as in the HOWTO, I was installing from the CD so I just made symlinks to chown and chgrp to the location where the oracle scripts would thing they are. So far I have a failure which I hope someone has an idea about: This was=20 quite later into the install.

It's probably the file system, which email handling exercies heavily. Linux runs their file systems in async mode by default (I'm not sure if this can be fixed), which makes the file system faster but less robust.

The only way I have found to benchmark and compare apples to apples is to mount the linux fs as sync and also mount the bsd fs as sync (both async). This way all data and metadata are written synchronously and should allow a worst case filesystem/driver test and comparison. Or mount them both async as described below. The defaults of the 2 are definitely not equivalent.

My understanding of cvsup is similar to using the regular cvs program. You basically just run it again and it'll be just fine. It checks yours files with the files on the cvsup server, in which case any files that don't match get updated, removed, etc. accordingly. I think you'll be fine. -- Matt Barton matt@fear.net Indianapolis, IN http://www.mattbarton.ws/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 10: 0:52 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (oe8.law8.hotmail.com [216.33.240.112]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6FE7937B423 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 10:00:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from benjaminhyatt@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 10:00:50 -0700 X-Originating-IP: [139.87.90.77] Reply-To: "Ben Hyatt" From: "Ben Hyatt" To: "Mark Giglio" , References: <20010424160312.14367.qmail@web9303.mail.yahoo.com> Subject: Re: hotmail converted from freeBSD Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 10:00:37 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.3018.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.3018.1300 Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 24 Apr 2001 17:00:50.0293 (UTC) FILETIME=[1D508250:01C0CCE0] Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Hi i heard this happened and one of their main > business drivers was that "The cgi > "one-process-per-socket" model, under FreeBSD, is very > inefficient."

Scales are different today, of course, but you can definitely run the services on your machine. Just don't expect it to scale to millions of users, or terabytes of downloads. FWIW, I run FreeBSD 4.2 as a FAX/email server off a 40mhz 386 w/20MB RAM, and it works just great.

You can run inefficient applications on any OS. FreeBSD can be (and usually is) a very efficient webserver, but MS weren't interested in making their hotmail scripts efficient, they wanted to switch to Win2k instead for political reasons.

FreeBSD is more stable and faster than Linux, in my opinion. We penguinistas sometimes believe we are having more fun than anybody. But then I lean over the fence and discover the FreeBSD folks are having a hell of a party, too. And their OS is as fast as I have seen.

I'm trying to create a CD for copying an image to the IDE disks in 32 computers [all the same model]. I have some problems to create a bootable CD. Here is what I have done: 1. I create a floppy disk image and copy my kernel in it. dd if=/dev/zero of=boot.flp count=2880 vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 boot.flp disklabel -w -B vn0 fd1440 newfs /dev/vn0a mount /dev/vn0a /mnt cp -r kernel.gz /mnt umount /mnt vnconfig -u vn0 2. I make a basic file system with a lot of tools and programs that I think I need for copying my image, let suppose this file system is created in ./fs 3. According to "mkisofs" man page, I need two files, one with the booting disk image and another that is called "boot.catalog" I found this one in my disk 1 of FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE CD under the directory "floppies" cp boot.flp boot.catalog fs then I erase my CD-RW that I'm using before creating the final CD-R burncd -s 4 -f /dev/acd1c blank make the iso image.... mkisofs -b boot.flp -c boot.catalog -R -T -V WinBkUp -P ESFM -o image.iso fs and, finally, burn the CD-RW burncd -s 4 -f /dev/acd1c data image.iso fixate 4. Ok, if I try to boot my computer from my CD, it complains telling me that "fcd0" has no means to do that. WHY? I don't want it to boot from fcd0 but from my file system in my compact disk. What did I miss? Where did I go wrong? - ______ _ * / /###\ / \ __ /\ /\ * / ./#### \ * \__|_/ | | / \/ \ | b#####| * _ | __ | | __ = .. \____ \ \_\#####/ / \| / \ | | /\_\/ = \_| * \___\###/ * \_/\_/\__/\__\/_/\__/ = \______/ _ | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 12:24:32 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ns2.sysadmin-inc.com (ns2.sysadmin-inc.com [209.16.228.145]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 09D0237B424 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 12:24:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from peter@sysadmin-inc.com) Received: (qmail 12944 invoked by alias); 24 Apr 2001 19:24:28 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO w2kstest) (10.10.1.70) by ns2.sysadmin-inc.com with SMTP; 24 Apr 2001 19:24:28 -0000 From: "Peter Brezny" To: Subject: reconnecting terminal sessions Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 15:23:49 -0400 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG How can you reconnect to an open ssh session on a box if your remote connection is disabled, but when you get back into the box, discover that the system still has the old sessions active?

I have a server with only a serial connection to the serial port. I want to do a 'boot -P' by default. (I may want to plug in a keyboard and display on occasion.) I don't want to use /boot.config for this as it bypasses loader(8) and breaks thinks like top. I tried adding 'kernel_option="-P"' to /boot/loader.conf, but that seems to do nothing. Is there a way to get the serial port to act as console through loader(8) so that I can get a clean boot but still have the option of autoboot to do a 'boot -s'? R.

Would I be better off contributing them to the Free Software Foundation for inclusion in their libc implementation? The routines break into two categories: 1.) Routines which manipulate struct iovec (such as used in readv and writev). They copy, compare and manipulate blocks of memory tied together through iovec structures. 2.) A circular queue set. These routines allow the creation, initialization and manipulation of circular queues. I haven't implemented thread locking but it would be trivial to add.

Unfortunately, a friend just gave me a copy of Suse 7.1 Professional with the 2.4 kernel, and KDE 2.1 (kicks arse, very impressive) and it's a very very tight OS, makes me feel like Linux is about to go prime time when I see this kind of user friendliness in LINUX based OS. I personally never understood Redhat's appeal, Suse has always been clearly the better OS as far as what you get for your money. Though Redhat is more available for support, and they are American based if that's important to you. For me it's always been when comparing Redhat and Suse I always go back to the Word Perfect and MS Word comparison. How a command line based word processor like Word Perfect (where you had to have 3 hands and get your feet involved in it's weird syntax of commands e.g. control alt shift 9 k 4 just to highlight text) could become dominant over MS Word's drag and drop graphical interface is beyond me. Word Perfect had a inferior product but a very effective marketing campaign, and if it wasn't for MS monopoly on the OS world they still be number one and we would still be doing cryptic commands from the keyboard. This is how I feel about the Redhat Suse comparison, Redhat has an inferior product but a marketing campaign where Suse has no marketing campaign and a better product. Lets face it no one outside of the Linux world has heard of Suse, yet go out and try there new 7.1 compare it to Redhat interface and it just pails in comparison. I don't want to turn this into a big debate and or a flame war, I'm just telling you all how I feel and why I've decided after you have all given me you precious time and effort which I'm extremely grateful for why I'm not trying FreeBSd at this time. Again thanks for everything your input was most welcome and lets not turn this into a big debate. Thanks Brian pS I was able to play SOF with a Voodoo 5 card, 633 Celeron, smoothly and with all the graphic control sliders set to maximum under Suse 7.1, but not under Redhat 7.0, in fact no setting enables me to play the game it was totally unplayable with Redhat even with the latest Mesa3d. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hesford [mailto:ajh3@chmod.ath.cx] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 7:24 PM To: Kent Stewart Cc: Andrew Hesford; SPEAKEASY ; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: How Is The FeeBSD OS Like and Different Than Say Redhat or Suse LINUX On Mon, Apr 23, 2001 at 01:49:13PM -0700, Kent Stewart wrote: > > > Andrew Hesford wrote: > > > > On Mon, Apr 23, 2001 at 03:45:33PM -0400, SPEAKEASY wrote: > > > Dear Everyone; > > > > > > What about compatiability with the Linux world will I be able to run stuff > > > compiled for Linux on freebsd without to much trouble? > > > > > > What about hardware compatibility just from reading the package it seems > > > that freebsd seems to support more hardware, is this true? > > > > > > > > > Sincerely > > > > > > Brian > > > > I've never had trouble with Linux programs under FreeBSD.

You can get rpm running, I believe I have it installed (it was required for linux realplayer). Then, provided you have all the mandatory packages, you should be able to install them without trouble. The only thing you want to check is that linux packages are installed in /usr/compat/linux/usr rather than /usr... you wouldn't want linux stuff overwriting native FreeBSD stuff. I don't know about funning dpkg... I don't necessarily see any problem with it, though. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 13:57:11 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from bryden.apana.org.au (bryden.apana.org.au [203.3.126.129]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 76AEF37B423 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 13:57:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dougy@bryden.apana.org.au) Received: from oracle (CPE-61-9-142-144.vic.bigpond.net.au [61.9.142.144]) by bryden.apana.org.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id GAA02178; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 06:56:05 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from dougy@bryden.apana.org.au) Message-ID: <018401c0cd01$164a8de0$0400a8c0@oracle> From: "Doug Young" To: "David Caldwell" , References: Subject: Re: Am I thinking straight????

You will only need named if you want to server DNS to the public (or want to run a DNS cache server). Sendmail is _one_ MTA that can be used to send mail (as the name implies). Postfix and QMail are usually better alternatives for simple mail servers. POP is used to retrieve mail, not to serve web pages. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 14:12: 7 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from skippyii.compar.com (mail.compar.com [216.208.38.130]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8FE5A37B424 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 14:12:03 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from matt@gsicomp.on.ca) Received: from hermes (cr677933-a.ktchnr1.on.wave.home.com [24.43.230.149]) by skippyii.compar.com (8.11.3/8.11.3) with SMTP id f3OLGi020048; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:16:44 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from matt@gsicomp.on.ca) Message-ID: <013c01c0cd02$e20f3510$1200a8c0@gsicomp.on.ca> From: "Matthew Emmerton" To: "Doug Young" , "David Caldwell" , References: <018401c0cd01$164a8de0$0400a8c0@oracle> Subject: Re: Am I thinking straight????

The @Home (cable) network in North America (US and Canada) regularly runs portscans, but any sane set of firewall rules will block all probe attempts by their sniffer. According to the AUP, it's forbidden to run servers, but from my experience, they couldn't care less. I've run mail and web servers with public DNS records for the past year and nary a warning. I think they only really crack down on people who are abusing the service and are using more than their fair share of bandwidth. As for DSL providers, the story is a bit different. Many DSL providers have some strong telco inroads, and don't really want (or are, uh, "convinced") to let residential users use their DSL connections instead of forcing them into higher-priced "business" connections such as 128Kbps ISDN. Some DSL providers block port 25 and/or use transparent proxying on port 80. Both of these can interfere with SMTP and HTTP serving. However, there do exist providers that say up-front that serving is allowed, and just place a bandwidth cap on serving. (One provider I'm checking out right now caps SMTP and HTTP "serving" at 200MB/month, which isn't too shabby for a home-office type of setup.) It all really comes down to government regulation (which you have plenty of in OZ) and competition (which there isn't much of in OZ.) Here in North America we're blessed with a pseudo-inverse situation which means we can get away with a fair bit :) -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 14:12:12 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from tao.agoron.com (tao.agoron.com [206.181.233.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 24D5F37B42C for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 14:12:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marius@agoron.com) Received: from quasi (quasi.shredco.com [206.181.233.73]) by tao.agoron.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id RAA03890 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:12:08 -0400 (EDT) From: "Marius Kirschner" To: "FreeBSD Questions" Subject: ifconfig Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:11:46 -0400 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG What's the exact syntax for ifconfig to load another IP alias in the rc.conf file?

Well, on this list you won't hear anyone recommending much else. If you are serious about a very large system, you might want to look at commercial RISC Eunices with lots of processors, but most people think that managing lots of smaller systems (i.e. - SMP FreeBSD systems) is a better approach. > first of all, (please humbly pardon my ignorance) what > does the comment re sockets mean. "One process per socket" means that there is one process listening on each socket you have open. > secondly, is this true about bsd. This model is indeed inefficient on FreeBSD - and every other OS I know of. If there's an OS out there that can handle this model efficiently at the levels required for a busy web server, I'd like to hear about it. > and thirdly, can it be improved, or is it a property of cgi and fixed? Oh, it can definitely be improved. Most modern web servers use a threaded model, with one thread per socket. That's the recommended model on Win9X, so I suspect that's what they went to at Hotmail. They could have done the same on FreeBSD, but it would have required hiring talent they didn't have or want, whereas they probably have more Win2K talent than anyone else on earth. For killer performance, you go to a single thread of control for all your sockets and use the Unix select() syscall. This makes all the technical headaches associated with threaded systems and separate address spaces disappear, cuts the overhead associated with context switches, and in general simply screams. Win9X doesn't have a native select() call. The Cygnus tools apparently simulate it using threads (which throws out about half the advantages). I suspect that the same is true of Win2K > if it is not true, then surely there is no need to > migrate to Win2000 at all .... MS migrated to Win2K for business reasons, not technical ones. That you don't have and don't want anyone with the talents to do the job on the existing system is a valid reason to migrate, but it *isn't* a technical reason. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Any advice is appreciated. Price > isn't as much of a consideration as everything working correctly. Scanner support is via SANE, which is in the ports tree. You need 1) a scanner that their software supports and 2) has an access mechanism in FreeBSD. To find out about #1, check the sane web site at . Parallel port scanners supported by SANE generally work, but people complain about them. SCSI scanners supported by SANE also generally work, but I'm not happy about having something that sluggish on my system bus. USB scanner support is newer and hence more prone to problems. I haven't tried one yet, but probably will next time I need to buy a scanner. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

If you want the books, you have to buy them (well, which the exception of the handbook -- that can be downloaded or read online), but if you're talking about The Complete FreeBSD or The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide, you're not going to find it on the FTP site.

It just times out. I can't even see anything in any of the logs to try and find what's blocking or even seeing the traffic. How do you monitor this? debug? etc?

Mine is an AWE64 ISA-PnP, which is detected correctly on boot, and works perfectly well except for one glaring problem: The drivers don't seem to be able to talk to the input and output gain controls. When changing them with any of the various mixers, while you see the change reflected in the values, doesn't actually change the level on the card - FreeBSD knows what it _thinks_ the gain controls are set to, but they aren't actually talking to the card at all. The card is most certainly working (booting back into windows is deafening if you forget to turn the speakers back down...) as the gain controls have always worked fine in doze and linux. I'm using the pcm and sbc devices in the kernel config, with no forced settings. From the dmesg output it's getting all the IRQs and IO port addresses right, too. All other mixer settings work perfectly. I'm using 4.2-RELEASE, and all the latest ports of various mixers. dmesg output: sbc0: at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0 pcm0: on sbc0 /dev/sndstat: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Apr 22 2001 18:36:39 Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5 (1p/1r channels duplex) The broken settings as listen in mixer are: Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogain is currently set to 34:34 (regardless of what you set them to, the card always outputs/inputs at the default card setting) Any help appreciated, thanks, james To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 16:36:22 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mta07-svc.ntlworld.com (mta07-svc.ntlworld.com [62.253.162.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F21A237B42C for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 16:36:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from james-list@ntlworld.com) Received: from eclipse.bloodflowers.org ([62.253.132.224]) by mta07-svc.ntlworld.com (InterMail vM.4.01.02.27 201-229-119-110) with SMTP id <20010424233619.CJQP285.mta07-svc.ntlworld.com@eclipse.bloodflowers.org> for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 00:36:19 +0100 Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 00:36:19 +0100 From: James Greenhalgh To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: (4.2) /dev/pcaudio = reboot Message-Id: <20010425003619.6b80d83f.james-list@ntlworld.com> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.4.63 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386--freebsd4.2) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Does anyone have any suggestions as to why: cat somefile.au > /dev/pcaudio causes an instant back to BIOS reboot?

I suspect that the same is true of Win2K Windows 2000 has an asynchronous IO subsystem that supports a model where a pool of threads can wait on completion objects and the operating system wakes threads as required to handle IO events. This is typically a more scalable than the "thread per socket" model although it not for the faint hearted developer ;) Which leads me to ask a question: where can I find more information about thread models for FreeBSD ?

Which leads to the question - where's the context for the socket go? I.e. - if I've processed the header of an HTTP request and am waiting on the data in the request to be available, where does the context information get stored? > Which leads me to ask a question: where can I find more information about > thread models for FreeBSD ? -stable gives you posix threads, and you start with the pthread manual page for information on that. -current is in the midst of rearranging all this, and you need to follow the appropriate developer mail lists for information on that, though the API will continue to be posix threads. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

If you are a SysAdmin then you get lots of practice saying NO! Probably the all time lamest excuse I've ever heard was from one who was writing in Fortran, Irix 3.3.3, and needed to read a serial port. First I heard of it was the order from above, "Give this user root." Cornered the boss to discuss the issues and learned the reason was, "so he can read the serial port." Normally users don't mess with serial devices so I had them locked down. Explained this, and how it meant the user did *not* need root and the boss was happy. For a week. Luser came back demanding not only root but that I tell him "where the uarts are." He was trying to peek/poke 8250 UART registers from Fortran on an SGI workstation and wanted root? In the end I had to write his serial routines and show him how to use them. If an application is useful for multiple people and the decision is made to make it available to all, then its for the SysAdmin to install it where ever he/she damn well pleases. In the process, a good SysAdmin will stash a copy somewhere with notes as to whatever special it took to get that application installed and working. Many applications are not intended to be shared with all users on a system. It is very common for, say, a CFD guru, to open a directory within his home directory, containing his applications which others may find useful. Those who what to us it often add this directory to their own PATH environment variable. I was always happy for users to share applications this way. Was one less thing for me to fuss with. But when introducing new users to my systems made sure they understood the significance of the search order in their path, and why the dot directory was not there by default. Projects typically had their own filesystems. Opened to write by the project group. And left to the project to manage their resources. Once again this is the right place to put their applications, not /usr/local/, not /usr/bin/ More than once, on systems that were not mine, I've had gcc, kermit, emacs, gawk, ... all compiled into my own ~/bin, ~/man, ~/lib. Had a heck of a time once when a SysAdmin had altered the system's default path so PATRAN was searched first. PATRAN's split utility was *not* the one I wanted. From then on I've hard coded my path. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

You can associate a per-file handle completion key with a completion port when you add the file handle to the port (note that socket handles are treated as file handles). When a completion port is signalled you can retrieve the completion key. So it's a matter of creating a hashtable (or other) data structure that maps the completion key to your context information. > > > Which leads me to ask a question: where can I find more information about > > thread models for FreeBSD ? > > -stable gives you posix threads, and you start with the pthread manual > page for information on that. -current is in the midst of rearranging > all this, and you need to follow the appropriate developer mail lists > for information on that, though the API will continue to be posix > threads. > Thanks. I know Linux doesn't have native kernel threads, does FreeBSD in either -stable or -current ?

BTW: anyone has any luck installing Oracle 8.1.7 on fbsd? Install Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux on FreeBSD 3.1, step by step pi@LF.net, Mon Feb 22 18:22:27 CET 1999 Part 0 (damn, those romans knew no zero): Introduction ------------------------------------------------------ This guide describes how to install Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux on FreeBSD 3.1. Open issues: - compiling perl DBD/DBI interface - re-linking the Oracle database (done by orainst) Other quite interesting informations can be found at: - http://www.freebsd.org.ru/linux-oracle.HOW-TO.html, thanks to kan@sti.cz for this pointer http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~mhmoolen/ seems to be the original source for this. - http://www.solik.net/oracle_letter.html some hints on Oracle/SCO for FreeBSD (some parts russian, *sigh*) - ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/oracle8/linux/805ship.tgz As SCO/Oracle is available from ftp.oracle.com as well, this might be an interesting way. Disk space requirements: approx. 1 GB disk space for light usage. For testing purposes, approx. 820 MB seem to be sufficient. Q: Why so much diskspace ? A: Oracle needs a copy of the tape/cd-rom somewhere read-writeable in the filesystem (so-called staging area). This needs approx. 400 MB. We assume the following environment variables: export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle The userid that owns the binaries and the datasets. export ORACLE_SID=WHATEVER Some sort of uniq database name. Given this, you can have multiple databases on the same machine. export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle Where the binaries are located. There's a suggestion from Oracle on filesystem layout called "Optimal Flexible Architecture" (OFA). OFA is described in detail in Chapter 1 of the Oracle8 Administrator's Reference for LINUX. export ORACLE_TERM=xterm The terminal type we need to run the installation script. The installation script (orainst), runs on curses. Your mileage may vary. [comment: setting "stty intr '^c' erase '^?'" in your .profile might be useful, as well. orainst is picky on the erase character] You can add those variables to your .bashrc (for every account that will work with oracle!). Add /usr/local/oracle/bin to your $PATH, if you do not want to type the whole path 8-) Part I: How to install all this ? --------------------------------- - Install FreeBSD 3.1 on a new machine, including the ports collection - provide approx 1 GB of diskspace in the filesystem where Oracle will reside (approx. 500 MB for the installation, more if you need a copy of oracle (approx. 400 MB) in the staging area) As root: - Edit /etc/rc.conf and add: linux_enable="YES" ibcs2_enable="YES" - Kernel configuration, add those parameters: o section for shared memory: options SHMALL=4097 options SHMMAXPGS=4097 options "SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)" o section for semaphores (values work, oracle needs approx. 100 semaphores) I do not understand the criterias for "correct" values here. They just have to be large enough options SEMMAP=255 options SEMMNI=235 options SEMMNS=255 options SEMMNU=235 options SEMMSL=255 options SEMOPM=201 options SEMUME=201 - compile the kernel, reboot - Install the linux emu umask 022 cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux make all install - Add a unix group "dba" to /etc/group, like this: dba:*:82:oracle - Add a unix user "oracle" to /etc/passwd, like this: oracle:somepassword:82:82::0:0:Oracle Owner:/home/oracle:/bin/bash - create the oracle destination directory mkdir -p /usr/local/oracle/etc echo WHATEVER:/usr/local/oracle:Y >/usr/local/oracle/etc/oratab ln -s /usr/local/oracle/etc/oratab /etc/oratab chown -R oracle.dba /usr/local/oracle - get yourself the large tar file, e.g. ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/oracle8/linux/805ship.tgz - now continue as user oracle (not root) - unpack the distribution mkdir ~/somedir cd ~/somedir tar xfvz somewhereelse/805ship.tgz - start the orainst script cd ~/somedir/orainst ./orainst - Now some comments on the following "dirty" part. orainst tries to re-link the applications, even while the tgz files provides all of them in (working) binary form. I do not know whether the installation is incomplete if the linking phase fails, so at the end is an appendix on how to get over the linking. See the appendix for details. Otherwise, you probably can work with installating, ignoring the linking errors and copy the pre-linked binaries into place. See below for details. - First, we have to answer quite a few questions to orainst: step through orainst, using OK or the selection given below: o Custom Install (otherwise no 8bit character sets) o Install, Upgrade or De-Install Software o Install New Product - Do not Create DB Objects o Mount point: /usr/local/oracle o ORACLE_HOME location "/usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/": 8.0.5 o Environment Variables: * ORACLE_BASE: /usr/local/oracle * ORACLE_HOME: /usr/local/oracle o Install Log: just keep the values o Install from: Staging Area (I had errors when I ran from the CD mount) o Enter Pathname of source staging: Enter the path to ~/somedir, in my case: /usr/local/users/support/oracle/src o Select native language: All Languages o Select all sw-products im Software Asset Manager o select group to act as DBA: dba o select the OSOPER Group: dba o Choose JDBC Components: select all o Pathname for ORACLE_DOC: /usr/local/oracle/doc o Formats of Dokumentation: html - now orainst starts to copy lots of files around. sometimes it will complain about software not being linked or some make command that failed. Ignore those. - After it installed all files, it will return you to the Software Asset Manager. Leave it. It will complain that some commands fail. Ignore this (untested). At the end, it should have created an $ORACLE_HOME/orainst/root.sh - Copy the pre-compiled binaries from somedir/bin: cp ~/somedir/bin/* $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ - Fix orainst/root.sh: 1c1 < #!/usr/bin/sh --- > #!/bin/bash 34c34 < CHOWN=/bin/chown --- > CHOWN=/usr/sbin/chown - as root: run orainst/root.sh It will ask for a pathname to a local bin directory. I used "/usr/local/oracle/bin", $ORACLE_HOME/bin This will set some permissions (sbits for some binaries) Not yet checked in all detail: which ones and for what. - You now have a working oracle setup. Part II: How to get to the first "select" ? ------------------------------------------- Some steps to a running database: cp dbs/init.ora dbs/initWHATEVER.ora edit initWHATEVER.ora, replace DEFAULT with WHATEVER bin/svrmgrl # some prompt from svrmgrl comes up connect internal startup create database WHATEVER character set WE8ISO8859P1; alter tablespace SYSTEM add datafile '/usr/local/oracle/dbs/dbs2WHATEVER.dbf' size 10M autoextend on; @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql # lots of messages, some errors @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql # ignore those @$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/pupbld.sql quit Now you should be able to: sqlplus sys/manager # connects you to the database select * from tab; # which tables are available ? quit # and goodbye Appendix: Getting Oracle to link -------------------------------- This is really, really ugly. But it works for me. It does not produce running binaries, but it lets orainst end with "Result: sucess". During orainst, the installation will report problems seven times: - TNS Listener (this one can be ignored) - Oracle Names - wrap executable - Oracle Trace - Oracle8 Standard RDBMS - Oracle Intelligent Agent - SQL*Plus For these to suceed, some changes have to be made to some files, and the relevant command has to be used (manually). Oracle Names: - edit lib/sysliblist replace "-lnsl -lm" with: "/compat/linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /compat/linux/lib/libm.so.6 /compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2 /compat/linux/lib/libpthread.so.0 /compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6 /compat/linux/lib/libnsl.so.1" - edit network/lib/env_network.mk 150c150,151 < EXSYSLIBS= -ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS= -ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 223c224,225 < EXSYSLIBS=-ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS=-ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 632c634,635 < MY_TMP_FLAGS = -ldl -lc --- > # MY_TMP_FLAGS = -ldl -lc > MY_TMP_FLAGS = - run make -f ins_network.mk names_targs wrap executable: - set the value of the lib/sysliblist as described before (apparently, it was overwritten by something ? dunno) - edit plsql/lib/env_plsql.mk 149c149,150 < EXSYSLIBS= -ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS= -ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 222c223,224 < EXSYSLIBS=-ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS=-ldl > EXSYSLIBS= - run make -f ins_plsql.mk install Oracle Trace: - edit otrace/lib/env_otrace.mk 149c149,150 < EXSYSLIBS= -ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS= -ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 222c223,224 < EXSYSLIBS=-ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS=-ldl > EXSYSLIBS= - run make -f /usr/local/oracle/otrace/lib/ins_otrace.mk install Oracle8 Standard RDBMS: - edit rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk 149c149,150 < EXSYSLIBS= -ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS= -ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 222c223,224 < EXSYSLIBS=-ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS=-ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 680c682,684 < LDLIBS+=-ldl $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) \ --- > #LDLIBS+=-ldl $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) \ > # $(LLIBSQL) $(LLIBSQL) > LDLIBS+=$(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) $(NETLIBS) \ - run make -f ins_rdbms.mk install Oracle Intelligent Agent: - edit network/lib/env_oemagent.mk 149c149,150 < EXSYSLIBS= -ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS= -ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 222c223,224 < EXSYSLIBS=-ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS=-ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 477,478c479,482 < LIBTCL = /usr/lib/libtcl.so < LLIBTCL = -ltcl --- > #LIBTCL = /usr/lib/libtcl.so > #LLIBTCL = -ltcl > LIBTCL = /client/lib/libtcl.a > LLIBTCL = /client/lib/libtcl.a - compile tcl with a static library you can get tcl from ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_0/tcl8.0.4.tar.gz cd /tmp/ tar xfvz tcl8* cd tcl*4 ./configure make cp libtcl.a /client/lib/ # that's where I keep it - edit network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk 27c27,28 < MY_TMP_FLAGS =-lm -ldl -lc -lcrypt --- > # MY_TMP_FLAGS =-lm -ldl -lc -lcrypt > MY_TMP_FLAGS =-lcrypt - run make -f ins_oemagent.mk install SQL*Plus: - edit sqlplus/lib/env_sqlplus.mk 150c150,151 < EXSYSLIBS= -ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS= -ldl > EXSYSLIBS= 223c224,225 < EXSYSLIBS=-ldl --- > # EXSYSLIBS=-ldl > EXSYSLIBS= - run make -f ins_sqlplus.mk install If you now re-run orainst, it will end with: Result: Success. -- Peter \\|// (o o) +-------------------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo-----------------------------+ EMail : mailto:pccb(at)yahoo(dot)com PGP Key : http://www.pchiu.com/pgpkey.txt PGP Fingerprint: 949E 0F39 422D 53EA F463 8C06 9E07 5078 838B 4D20 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Please state the nature of the technical emergency To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 17:48:13 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from q.closedsrc.org (ip233.gte15.rb1.bel.nwlink.com [209.20.244.233]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 718AA37B424 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:48:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from lplist@closedsrc.org) Received: by q.closedsrc.org (Postfix, from userid 1003) id 485B355407; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:41:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by q.closedsrc.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 38B0951610; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:41:57 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:41:57 -0700 (PDT) From: Linh Pham To: Aaron Hill Cc: Subject: Re: Web Based Management for FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <1090.192.168.60.20.986860051.squirrel@www.futureuse.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 2001-04-10, Aaron Hill scribbled: # I am currently building a FreeBSD firewall project and am about to create a # web management interface for it.

Figure out which drive is your Windows drive, and then issue "mount_msdos /dev/ad0c /mnt", replacing /dev/ad0c with the appropriate drive name. Similarly, for a CD-ROM drive, use "mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0c /mnt". Note that only one drive can be mounted on /mnt at one time. I would suggest creating a /cdrom directory and using that instead of /mnt when mounting your CD-ROM, and to create a /windows directory and use that for mounting the Windows drive. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 18: 3:16 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp.bmi.net (smtp.bmi.net [204.57.191.31]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9C9DC37B423 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 18:03:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net) Received: from webmail.bmi.net (dsl-154.bmi.net [207.173.60.230]) by smtp.bmi.net (Pro-8.9.3/Pro-8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA03765 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 18:03:10 -0700 Message-ID: <3AE6224D.9C0AFAD9@webmail.bmi.net> Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 18:03:09 -0700 From: John Merryweather Cooper X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12 i386) X-Accept-Language: en-US, en, en-GB MIME-Version: 1.0 To: FreeBSD Questions Mailing List Subject: Immensely frustrated with Amanda Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------AE251AFC356B596BE467FEC2" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------AE251AFC356B596BE467FEC2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The subject says it all.

After much frustration (much of it do to pccard stuff) I was able to set up a basic firewall. Now I would like to do the installation again so as to make the laptop more secure, have a smaller kernel, and take up less HD space. How can I install only the minimum services needed for me to run my firewall with NAT? I know this simple question probably has a not so simple answer. But I've only been introduced to FreeBSD three days ago so any hlep would be appreciated!

One of the best references from a general programming (as opposed to a kernel developers) perspective would probably be one of Jeffrey Richters books (for example "Programming Server-Side Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000". Wrt thread switching, this is minimized in that you can control the number of threads in the pool and the number that are active concurrently and, when a thread finishes a piece of work, the kernel tries to re-dispatch that thread instead of taking a different one off the queue.

Do these cdplayer programs default to trying to use /dev/cdrom (which was the case in Linux)? If so, how do I work around this. Also, what permissions are needed to allow a 'normal' user the correct access? I also need to setup sound support in general. I know that under Linux my soundcard (Ensoniq AudioPCI) used the es1370 driver. Under FreeBSD I have been getting a message from one program saying : cannot open output file /dev/dsp: permission denied I have looked in my copy of 'The Complete FreeBSD' , but have found nothing that helps me get my sound working. Any help is appreciated.

But you can only have 4 of them setup at once. Its been some time ago, but the sequence went something like this: Setup DOS. Boot DOS. Use pfdisk to make snapshot #1 of the partition table. Setup OS #2. Reboot to DOS. Use pfdisk to make snapshot #2 of p table. Use pfdisk to restore snapshot #1 of p table. Reboot. Setup OS #3. Repeat as necessary. (Eventually build a boot menu for DOS.) I realize that its ugly. But some commercial products do similar things.

Had to manually set the xl0 interface to 100baseTX and full-duplex or the switch would not even recognize that a port was there (researched an article on this earlier... something about the auto negotiation not working for some BSD ports). one that was done, the switch recognized that a cable was attached and a NIC was on the other end. Cannot get out of the FreeBSD box to the switch/router/internet/other boxes on same network. ping and other network utils respond with "host is down" ifconfig shows the interface up(have also tried downing and upping) and reads the media correct, HOWEVER it does indicate "status: no carrier" am wondering if it is not picking up the switch during boot or something. At a loss here. The FreeBSD boxes are the only pieces of hardware unable to get online as a result of this. using unroutables, here is what the network looks like: Network 192.168.1.0/26 Router 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.192 Switch 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.192 Workstations 192.168.1.20-24 255.255.255.192 FreeBSD1 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.192 Gateway Router 192.168.1.1 aliased 192.168.1.15-17 255.255.255.192 FreeBSD2 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.192 Gateway Router 192.168.1.1 Obviously we are using all routable IP addresses, these are for layout purposes only.

Look at chapter 14 in the handbook. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/sound.html You have to add "device pcm" and rebuild your kernel and boot to it. At that point, you have to do a "./MAKEDEV snd0" and you should have sound. Some where in man pcm or one of the other man pages, they suggest that you link /dev/cdrom to /dev/acd0c.

Previously, I have been using Exim, but I have decided to try my hand with a different MTA. :) Here is the error I just cannot seem to get around (with indenting): Apr 21 16:10:14 gw sendmail[1985]: starting daemon (8.11.2): SMTP+queueing@00:30:00 Apr 21 16:10:15 gw sendmail[1986]: f3LK0XL00702: SYSERR(root): makeconnection: cannot bind socket [216.140.158.72]: Invalid argument Apr 21 16:10:15 gw sendmail[1986]: f3LK0XL00702: to, delay1:09:42, xdelay0:00:01, maileresmtp, priR80326, relaymail.blackhat.net.

I only wish it to receive on the LAN (192.168.1.0) and the analog modem (216.140.158.72). This is easy to change (DAEMON_OPTIONS), but I just can't get confCLIENT_OPTIONS to work. From looking at sendmail.cf, I can see that it is being set: # SMTP client options O ClientPortOptions=Family=inet, Addr=216.140.158.72 Here are my files, interfaces, and routing tables. I have Exim working with this, but I would like to get sendmail running. Also, I use IP Filter to actually route the packets from the cable modem over to the analog modem, but this is not the problem. sendmail.mc: divert(-1) # Lots of comments. :) divert(0)dnl VERSIONID(`@(#)freebsd.mc $Revision: 1.4.2.1 $') OSTYPE(bsd4.4) DOMAIN(generic) FEATURE(relay_entire_domain) FEATURE(`dnsbl') FEATURE(`always_add_domain') define(`confCLIENT_OPTIONS', `Addr=216.140.158.72') define(`confNO_RCPT_ACTION', `add-to-undisclosed') define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,novrfy') define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES', `true') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S') dnl Mailers.

I even wrote a little program to see if everything was going alright. With my test program I am able to bind a random port with a problem. It just appears Sendmail does not want to. Using GDB I compared the two sockaddr_in structures in my program and Sendmail (daemon.c:2095). The values were exactly the same. I just don't see why this bind would fail on the PPP device and not the ethernet cards. Hopefully, this problem is user-oversight and someone sees what it is. . :) TIA, Sean ----------------------- sean-freebsd@farley.org PGP key: http://www.farley.org/~sean/pgp.key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 24 21:22:21 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from nebula.anchoragerescue.org (cable-115-7-237-24.anchorageak.net [24.237.7.115]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3488E37B422 for ; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 21:22:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from akbeech@anchoragerescue.org) Received: from galaxy.anchoragerescue.org (galaxy.anchoragerescue.org [24.237.7.95]) by nebula.anchoragerescue.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 1198F41C; Tue, 24 Apr 2001 20:22:15 -0800 (AKDT) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" From: Beech Rintoul To: "Elliot L.

If the machine is doing what it's supposed to do in a timely manner, then it's not overloaded. If the load is such that it's causing things to fail or responding too slowly, then it's overloaded. You could be out of RAM and using swap, but still doing everything the machine needs to do with a good response time, so the usage of RAM isn't a definite factor. Ditto for active processes, idle CPU, etc. Each of those metrics will react differently depending on what you're doing with the machine, anyway.

VPN and VLAN are, as several folks have pointed out, two different things. Since you also said IPsec, I'll assume you meant VPN. If you're dealing with systems that do not have NAT boxes in front of them, it's surprisingly straightforward: 1. Add options IPSEC to the kernel, rebuild, install, reboot 2. Install racoon from the ports (/usr/ports/security/racoon) 3. Add security policies to /etc/ipsec.conf, enable ipsec in rc.conf 4. Configure and start racoon 5. Add routes to the destination network The expanded versions: 1. Add optinos IPSEC to the kernel, rebuild, install, reboot This has been covered many times in many places. Try the Handbook for a good start. 2. Install racoon from the ports # cd /usr/ports/security/racoon # make install If you don't have the ports collection installed, you really should. 3. Add security policies to /etc/ipsec.conf Let's assume you've got two networks, 10.local and 10.remote that you wish to join together via a VPN connection. The machine that is to be gateway for 10.local/24 has internal IP address 10.local.1, and an Internet-connected IP address of 192.0.2.2. The machine that is to be gateway for 10.remote/24 has internal IP address 10.remote.1, and an Internet-connected IP address of 192.0.3.3. To allow traffic to pass between both ways, you'll need the following two rules in /etc/ipsec.conf on the 10.local gateway: - - - 8< - - - /etc/ipsec.conf@10.local gateway - - - spdadd 10.local.0/24 10.remote.0/24 any -P out ipsec esp/tunnel/192.0.2.2-192.0.3.3/require; spdadd 10.remote.0/24 10.local.0/24 any -P in ipsec esp/tunnel/192.0.3.3-192.0.2.2/require; - - - >8 - - - /etc/ipsec.conf@10.local gateway - - - And this is what the 10.remote machine'll look like: - - - 8< - - - /etc/ipsec.conf@10.remote gateway - - - spdadd 10.remote.0/24 10.local.0/24 any -P out ipsec esp/tunnel/192.0.3.3-192.0.2.2/require; spdadd 10.local.0/24 10.remote.0/24 any -P in ipsec esp/tunnel/192.0.2.2-192.0.3.3/require; - - - >8 - - - /etc/ipsec.conf@10.remote gateway - - - You can stuff these into the kernel at whim by using the setkey(8) command, or by adding ipsec_enable="YES" to rc.conf and rebooting. 4. Configure and start racoon I'm using the following racoon.conf on all machines: - - - 8< - - - /usr/local/etc/racoon/racoon.conf - - - path include "/usr/local/etc/racoon" ; path pre_shared_key "/usr/local/etc/racoon/psk.txt" ; log notify; # "padding" defines some parameter of padding. You should not touch these. padding { maximum_length 20; # maximum padding length. randomize off; # enable randomize length. strict_check off; # enable strict check. exclusive_tail off; # extract last one octet. } # Specification of default various timer. timer { # These value can be changed per remote node. counter 5; # maximum trying count to send. interval 20 sec; # maximum interval to resend. persend 1; # the number of packets per a send. # timer for waiting to complete each phase. phase1 30 sec; phase2 15 sec; } remote anonymous { exchange_mode main,aggressive; #exchange_mode aggressive,main; doi ipsec_doi; situation identity_only; # Identifier stuff here? # Naw, this is for w2k guys. nonce_size 16; lifetime time 8 hour; # sec,min,hour lifetime byte 500 MB; # B,KB,GB initial_contact on; support_mip6 on; proposal_check obey; # obey, strict or claim proposal { encryption_algorithm 3des; hash_algorithm md5; authentication_method pre_shared_key ; dh_group 2 ; } } sainfo anonymous { pfs_group 2; lifetime time 1 hour; lifetime byte 50 MB; encryption_algorithm 3des,des,cast128,blowfish ; authentication_algorithm hmac_md5,hmac_sha1; compression_algorithm deflate ; } - - - >8 - - - /usr/local/etc/racoon/racoon.conf - - - You'll also need to add "pre-shared keys" to both machines. Those go in /usr/local/etc/racoon/psk.txt, and are in the format ipaddress key So, for example, you could use the same pre-shared key file on all machines you admin, and it could contain something like: - - - 8< - - - /usr/local/etc/racoon/psk.txt - - - 192.0.2.2 ALousySecretKey-192.0.2.2 192.0.3.3 ALousySecretKey-192.0.3.3 - - - >8 - - - /usr/local/etc/racoon/psk.txt - - - Note that the preshared key doesn't need to be cryptographically interesting, because it is never used directly as a key, nor exposed to the 'net. You do need to protect it a fair amount, though, and racoon won't talk to the pre-shared key file if it's not mode 600. Starting racoon is easy, though to be fancy you might want to create a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/racoon.sh. I'll leave that little bit of code as an exercise. 5. Add routes to the destination network This is actually the most subtle piece, or at least the one that took me the longest to figure out: You must add a route to the remote network that points at the *inside address* of the local machine, otherwise you won't be able to talk between the gateways themselves over the IPsec link. local-gw# route add 10.remote.0/24 10.local.1 remote-gw# route add 10.local.0/24 10.remote.1 Or, in /etc/rc.conf, add - - - 8< - - - /etc/rc.conf snippet @ local gateway - - - static_routes="remote_net" # just a name used to find the route string route_remote_net="10.remote.0/24 10.local.1" - - - >8 - - - /etc/rc.conf snippet @ local gateway - - - Debugging tips: 1. Use tcpdump; it is your friend. Remember to give it a long-enough snaplen (-s) to capture the full isakmp exchange. The command I've been using is: # tcpdump -s 512 -i xl0 esp or port 500 Port 500 is the key exchange protocol port. esp is the tunnel protocol. 2. Turn on all.log in syslog.conf and watch racoon's noise. Racoon has a fairly verbose level of logging built in, and it's a good thing.

I want to do is use at least one public IP on a machine with ADSL (DHCP) connection to the internet. The rest of the C class belong the public address resides on a server with totally unrelated internet connection. As I understand it the last thing I need is IPSEC because it would be extremely inconvenient to tamper with the kernel on the remote server .... there are usually 20 or 30 people dialled into it for internet access at anytime & they would get VERY stroppy if I rebooted it without plenty of notice.

It appears that IPsec and divert sockets (and/or natd) don't get along well. My setup joins my internal network to my employer's, with the recipe I laid out in my previous note.

I have natd enabled.  My ssh connections hang = forever=20 and then finally as for the login and password, then the connection = hangs and=20 times out.  I can telnet eventually, and ftp a lot of the time = hangs and=20 times out.  Is there anything special that needs to be set in natd = for this=20 to work properly?  All port 80 traffic works without = delay.
 
Thanks,
Doug

The NetApps are mounted with the following line in /etc/fstab: 000.0.00.000:/vol/vol0/web /web nfs rw 3 3 We have tried changing the read and write block sizes on the NFS mount but this has had limited effect, and in once case actually made the situation worse!

Therefore I plugged a Adaptec SlimSCSI into one of the PCMCIA slots and connected an external SCSI cdrom to it. Using this configuration, I already did installs of various operating systems. Sadly enough, this kind of installation does not seem to be supported very well under FreeBSD. Ok, the installer detects my controller and the SlimSCSI is properly detected (I compiled a custum kernel with aic support for the Adaptec card) But tthe installer still does not detect the external SCSI cdrom.

If it's just the one, and given that FreeBSD reports "status: (no-carrier)", I'd be inclined to think that you have a bad card and/or a bad cable and/or a dead port on the switch. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 4:18:56 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (oe57.law3.hotmail.com [209.185.240.57]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4692137B422 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 04:18:53 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ymmaslak@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 04:18:53 -0700 X-Originating-IP: [213.238.128.134] From: =?iso-8859-9?Q?Yavuz_Ma=FElak?= To: Subject: To mount another disk(s) in other server with Ufs Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 14:17:54 +0300 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0091_01C0CD92.84AD8EE0" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6700 Disposition-Notification-To: =?iso-8859-9?Q?Yavuz_Ma=FElak?= X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 25 Apr 2001 11:18:53.0269 (UTC) FILETIME=[82A0D850:01C0CD79] Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0091_01C0CD92.84AD8EE0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-9" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello I use FreeBSD4.2 and I disabled NFS ( network file systems) I want to = use disk on another unix machine as my disks.

Assuming I build a system to my liking on a smallish harddisk, and verified that it can boot without write access to the disk. Now it is easy to use mkisofs to create an ISO image of that disk and burn it to CD, but how can I make that CD bootable, or more to the point how do I create the 'boot floppy' that starts this system, and which I can feed to mkisofs using the -b flag?

Have also tested the ports and cables using the Win2k workstations... picks up no problem. So the problem exists not with the cards, cables, or ports... leaving the configuration in the FreeBSD box or the switch(or possibly router). The problem with the auto negotiation supposedly existed in the driver for the card for BSD versions (NetBSD was one of the threads that discussed this resulting in my manually setting the configuration). After setting that, the connection on the switch lit green (as opposed to nothing before). Problem still exists, cannot ping from switch to FreeBSD servers, or from FreeBSD servers to switch(or anything else). Again, thinking config problem with FreeBSD boxes or with switch. any ideas?

You will likely have to modify the locations of the libraries, as the ports do not install them exactly as the HOWTO describes. For instance, the example for the MSN transport has -1.1 in the path, the port does not install using that, and so that must be removed. HOwever, I do not have a permanent IP address, and hence no permanent domain name, so I don't know if it actually works. ******************************************************************************* Jonathan Fosburgh | IBM Certified Specialist - Software Systems Specialist III | AIX System Administration Communications and Computer Services | UT MD Anderson Cancer Center | ******************************************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 5:15:55 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from eeeor.ebom.org (co3024366-a.randw1.nsw.optushome.com.au [203.164.170.86]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4C05737B43C for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 05:15:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tigger@ebom.org) Received: from mail pickup service by eeeor.ebom.org with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 22:37:17 +1000 From: tigger@ebom.org To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD 4.3 Release - Unstable?

First of all, I want to chroot() specifik users ftpd sessions (already disallowing them from remote login via ssh with noshell). On this, I would like to limit the login sessions for the users to one. So that user "ape" cannot hand out his account to various folks. I only want say one "ape" at a time. Then, I want to limit the time wich some users may and may not log in, I thought that could be easaly done by crontab and echo "account" > /etc/ftpuse s Hey, when I have problems and ask for help I might aswell go for it, I have a machine with freebsd. system disk is on 10gb and I have two 31gb. The system wont boot if i do not specify 0:ad(0,a)/kernel I heard that this is because of the larfge disks and a work around is to make a 1mb FAT16partition on the disk. My question now is if it would work to make the partition AFTER a installation, because my current is good. Summary; The FTPD problem is the most important since I can boot. I could really need some good guidelines/help Thanks in advance Best regards, Mattias B. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

These people sounded like they knew what they were talking about when I first spoke with them. 1) Its based on Mach. 2) The SMP in FreeBSD is far superior to even Linux 2.4.x I am sure there were more. This type of "I don't know what I am talking about but it sounds good" attitude from whoever said it was very convincing. . This is obviously bad for people like myself who are interested in OS design and got lured in to the FreeBSD camp by false claims. Luckily I still find FreeBSD 4.2 faster and more stable than Linux 2.4.2. (note: I haven't run 4.3 yet) I have looked into SMP in FreeBSD and it seems all the real support is going into the 5 release. Some of the decisions in kernel design were just as bad as the old Linux kernel back in 2.0.x as far as SMP goes. We shouldn't lose heart though. Solaris, which is regarded as a fairly scalable platform, was in the same situation a few years back and are now doing much better in the SMP area. Well that's it from me. I will continue to use/enjoy FreeBSD. I just wish people didn't tell lies to try and get more people involved with it.

I reconfig'd the kernel to add support for ipfirewall, and made a quick firewall script to disallow all traffic except for email, web, dns, squid, and ftp, as well as to log all other denied tcp traffic. No problems since then (thus far). Also think the other issue wherein the server kept crapping out had to do with the quality of the NIC; since we replaced it with an intel (fxp) card we've had no problems. Anyhow, that's what our solution turned out to be. -Later To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 6: 5:35 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from probity.mcc.ac.uk (probity.mcc.ac.uk [130.88.200.94]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 76EBE37B424 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 06:05:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rasputin@freebsd-uk.eu.org) Received: from dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org ([130.88.200.97] ident=root) by probity.mcc.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 2.05 #4) id 14sOz4-0001E3-00; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 14:05:30 +0100 Received: (from rasputin@localhost) by dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f3PD5TI01288; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 14:05:29 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from rasputin) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 14:05:29 +0100 From: Rasputin To: Dave Leimbach Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Misinformation Message-ID: <20010425140529.A1157@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> Reply-To: Rasputin References: <200104251242.FAA24271@hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i In-Reply-To: <200104251242.FAA24271@hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net>; from dleimbac@earthlink.net on Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 07:44:30AM -0500 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG * Dave Leimbach [010425 13:44]: > I have run into a few people who made the following false claims about > freeBSD. > These people sounded like they knew what they were talking about when I > first spoke with them. > > 1) Its based on Mach. > 2) The SMP in FreeBSD is far superior to even Linux 2.4.x > I am sure there were more.

Don't know about that; I heard it sucked rocks on intel. I don't run SMP either, although I have friends woh say we have the best/only SMP support of the three BSDs.

Hardware platform support, I run OpenBSD on Apple Macintosh, Sun Sparc, and HP 9000 boxes. Doing this with FreeBSD just isn't possible (yet... I know various ports have been started), however when it comes to the i386 platform I run FreeBSD pretty much exclusively. Primarily for the reasons indicated in your emails: ease of use, ports collection, email/list support. Well, that's my two cents.

We were completely a linux shop until 2 months ago. We had been holding out for the 2.4 Linux kernel as our supposed saviour. 2.2.x had been plagued by VM issues for the last 9 months. Upon loading 2.4.0 (problems also persist in 2.4.1) we found the following: VM was still broken under extreme io and network load. Software Raid 5 was trashed - when trying to rebuild an array, it would eat your disk. This was fixed in 2.4.1 So we bit the bullet and began the move to FreeBSD. It was a fairly heavy learning curve (new init system, new packaging system, sysctl for tweaking, etc.), but we're getting there. In all testing so far, FreeBSD has out performed Linux HUGELY. A Linux box, dual PIII-500 with 512MB of ram was running a site. The load average on the box was around 6-7. The site has been moved to a single processor PIII-800, with 256MB ram running FreeBSD. Load is down to 3-4 at peak times. So maybe the design is poor in some way, but the real world results have been well worth the change for us !

While I've never personally acheived single files having a size larger than 2gigs, I am told it is not a problem under FreeBSD. If I remember correctly, it's because FreeBSD uses a 64bit filesystem, whereas Linux uses a 32bit system.

I listen to the claims and then I go check it out for myself... My favorite OS is BeOS! But my FreeBSD 4.3 is stable-enough and fast enough for me... (Not only that, I'm beginning to understand it!) Oh, it'll get faster - I wouldn't use it without SMP - that's the nature of things... I use linux also... Suse 7.0{from 6.0,6.1,6.2}... But I'm afraid Linux is becoming more like MS Windows every week... Kinda of scary to witness the metamorphosis... To listen to the meda, RedHat all but invented the 2.4 kernel! :) Unbelieveable! I use MS Windows 98... Only because they have drivers for my hardware... Specifically DVD-RAM, Scanner, Radeon VE... Anyway that's my two cents... Happy computing!

Smith/HSB/ISHSG/DIVADMIN/DOH) Subject: Misinformation I have run into a few people who made the following false claims about freeBSD. These people sounded like they knew what they were talking about when I first spoke with them. 1) Its based on Mach. 2) The SMP in FreeBSD is far superior to even Linux 2.4.x I am sure there were more. This type of "I don't know what I am talking about but it sounds good" attitude from whoever said it was very convincing. . This is obviously bad for people like myself who are interested in OS design and got lured in to the FreeBSD camp by false claims. Luckily I still find FreeBSD 4.2 faster and more stable than Linux 2.4.2. (note: I haven't run 4.3 yet) I have looked into SMP in FreeBSD and it seems all the real support is going into the 5 release. Some of the decisions in kernel design were just as bad as the old Linux kernel back in 2.0.x as far as SMP goes. We shouldn't lose heart though. Solaris, which is regarded as a fairly scalable platform, was in the same situation a few years back and are now doing much better in the SMP area. Well that's it from me. I will continue to use/enjoy FreeBSD. I just wish people didn't tell lies to try and get more people involved with it.

To: Cc: Subject: afbackup and tape changers under FreeBSD 4.3 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Sirs. At the moment of writing this email we try to move from AMANDA to AFBACKUP as AFBACKUP promises some more support in the manner of writing large file systems to more than one tape were tape size is smaller than filesystem size. Our servers run all FreeBSD 4.3 and the core system has about 250 GB to backup. The tape system is a HP SureStore 6x40i with a six slot magazine system. Here some configuration data: Changer device under FreeBSD is /dev/ch0. Tape device under FreeBSD is /dev/nsa0. The status output of 'chio -f /dev/ch0' is: slot 0: slot 1: slot 2: slot 3: slot 4: slot 5: drive 0: That means in this case: all slots are filled up with tapes, drive 0 is empty (no tape loaded). An output with a loaded tape looks like this: slot 0: slot 1: slot 2: slot 3: slot 4: slot 5: drive 0: That means, slot 3 (the fourth cartridge) is empty and loaded to the tape (FULL marks a filled up device). The command for moving tapes from a slot into the drive is: chio -f /dev/ch0 move slot X into drive 0 The command for moving a tape back to its slot is chio -f /dev/ch0 move drive 0 to slot X Now the problem: I set up already a complete server side configuration an tried to fiddle around moving tapes, because this seems the elemental thing to do (as it was in AMANDA, too). Fact is, I can not move tapes around! This is my changer.conf file: Move Drive To Slot Command: chio -f %D move drive %n slot %M Move Slot To Drive Command: chio -f %D move slot %m drive %N ListEmpty Slots Command: chio -f %D status | grep '^slot [0-9]*: $' | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/:*$//g' The ListEmpty Slots Command reports exactly what it should, the empty slot! In the second instance given above it reports '3', as this is the empty slot. With the above given status from chio status, cart_ctl -l reports this (as this reflects a correct tape configuration): 1 /dev/ch0 slot 0 2 /dev/ch0 slot 1 3 /dev/ch0 slot 2 4 /dev/ch0 drive 1 5 /dev/ch0 slot 4 When typing cart_ctl -m -C 0 -D it reports: chio: /dev/ch0: CHIOMOVE: Operation not supported by device The command to operate the cartridge in changer /dev/ch0 failed with status 256. Error: Moving cartridge 4 to slot 3 in /dev/ch0 failed with status 256 Error: Moving cartridge 0 failed. It seems, that the configuration is almost right - but maybe there is a problem in numbering (0 and 1 seems to be problemacy). Where to get logoutput? I can not find any suitable logfiles where I can see what the command cart_ctl is doing and where it fails. -- MfG O.

This will switch the loader and kernel etc to the serial console if no keyboard is plugged in, or the video/keyboard console if a keyboard is plugged in. You need to change the ttyd0 entry to 'on' in /etc/ttys to allow logins over serial.

This is why it is recommended to install the MS stuff first. Having OS-BS on a DOS bootable floppy is a good idea. http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multi-os/index.html Is a very good place to start. It has been a while since I had NT running along side FreeBSD, the last time I did I eventually moved to having the NT Boot Loader initializing a FreeBSD boot. -- Regards, | Any and all errors in spelling are the | intellectual property of the author and Kevin G.

SysV uses /opt and /usr/opt I guess. Actually, that's why I chose it. If I'd been aware that NetBSD used something different, I would have used what they did instead.

(We are trying to see how long the system waits before a SYN gets retransmitted.) When a SYN is sent, a keepalive timer is set with using the TCPTV_KEEPALIVEINTVL = 75hz (??ms - escapes me at the moment). So an ack must be received in this time frame??? This is not the usual dynamic tetransmission timer which might make sense for SYN packts. It seems like a retransmission timer should be set?? That's why I'm posing the question.

I got an EPSON 1640US because it has SCSI and USB. I figured even if the USB was immature I could talk to it over SCSI. It's working OK now on USB, with a small addition to the above-mentioned usbdevs, which I believe have been pushed into -STABLE. Using sane with xsane, nice tools. I did get it to crash my 4.2-STABLE box when trying to push very large images (high resolution, big color depth). I suspect it was a bug in the USB code but am too unfamiliar with USB to dig into it. Been working fine with more "sane" :-) resolutions.

Actually, auto-crossover is part of the Gigabit over Copper spec, as I recall. You can interconnect two gigabit devices with a straight through cable or a crossover cable. I haven't actually tested it with NICs but it works as advertised between switches.

Unfortunately, a friend just gave me a copy of Suse 7.1 Professional with the 2.4 kernel, and KDE 2.1 (kicks arse, very impressive) and it's a very very tight OS, makes me feel like Linux is about to go prime time when I see this kind of user friendliness in LINUX based OS. I personally never understood Redhat's appeal, Suse has always been clearly the better OS as far as what you get for your money. Though Redhat is more available for support, and they are American based if that's important to you. For me it's always been when comparing Redhat and Suse I always go back to the Word Perfect and MS Word comparison. How a command line based word processor like Word Perfect (where you had to have 3 hands and get your feet involved in it's weird syntax of commands e.g. control alt shift 9 k 4 just to highlight text) could become dominant over MS Word's drag and drop graphical interface is beyond me. Word Perfect had a inferior product but a very effective marketing campaign, and if it wasn't for MS monopoly on the OS world they still be number one and we would still be doing cryptic commands from the keyboard. This is how I feel about the Redhat Suse comparison, Redhat has an inferior product but a marketing campaign where Suse has no marketing campaign and a better product. Lets face it no one outside of the Linux world has heard of Suse, yet go out and try there new 7.1 compare it to Redhat interface and it just pails in comparison. I don't want to turn this into a big debate and or a flame war, I'm just telling you all how I feel and why I've decided after you have all given me you precious time and effort which I'm extremely grateful for why I'm not trying FreeBSd at this time. Again thanks for everything your input was most welcome and lets not turn this into a big debate. Thanks Brian pS I was able to play SOF with a Voodoo 5 card, 633 Celeron, smoothly and with all the graphic control sliders set to maximum under Suse 7.1, but not under Redhat 7.0, in fact no setting enables me to play the game it was totally unplayable with Redhat even with the latest Mesa3d. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hesford [mailto:ajh3@chmod.ath.cx] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 7:24 PM To: Kent Stewart Cc: Andrew Hesford; SPEAKEASY ; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: How Is The FeeBSD OS Like and Different Than Say Redhat or Suse LINUX On Mon, Apr 23, 2001 at 01:49:13PM -0700, Kent Stewart wrote: > > > Andrew Hesford wrote: > > > > On Mon, Apr 23, 2001 at 03:45:33PM -0400, SPEAKEASY wrote: > > > Dear Everyone; > > > > > > What about compatiability with the Linux world will I be able to run stuff > > > compiled for Linux on freebsd without to much trouble? > > > > > > What about hardware compatibility just from reading the package it seems > > > that freebsd seems to support more hardware, is this true? > > > > > > > > > Sincerely > > > > > > Brian > > > > I've never had trouble with Linux programs under FreeBSD.

You can get rpm running, I believe I have it installed (it was required for linux realplayer). Then, provided you have all the mandatory packages, you should be able to install them without trouble. The only thing you want to check is that linux packages are installed in /usr/compat/linux/usr rather than /usr... you wouldn't want linux stuff overwriting native FreeBSD stuff. I don't know about funning dpkg... I don't necessarily see any problem with it, though. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 8:30:30 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from yertle.kciLink.com (yertle.kcilink.com [216.194.193.105]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8F32F37B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 08:30:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from khera@kcilink.com) Received: from onceler.kciLink.com (onceler.kciLink.com [216.194.193.106]) by yertle.kciLink.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 26C7D2E460 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 11:30:24 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from khera@localhost) by onceler.kciLink.com (8.11.3/8.11.3) id f3PFUOS10877; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 11:30:24 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from khera@kcilink.com) X-Authentication-Warning: onceler.kciLink.com: khera set sender to khera@kcilink.com using -f To: questions@freebsd.org Newsgroups: ml.freebsd.questions Subject: Re: Netscape smoking crack again References: <20010425125409.A58363@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> From: Vivek Khera Date: 25 Apr 2001 11:30:23 -0400 Message-ID: Organization: Khera Communications, Inc., Rockville, MD Lines: 22 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0808 (Gnus v5.8.8) XEmacs/21.1 (Cuyahoga Valley) In-Reply-To: <20010425125409.A58363@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Posted-To: ml.freebsd.questions Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to ml.freebsd.questions as well. >>>>> "rr" == rara rasputin writes: rr> Anyone know why Netscape insists on reading ~/.mailcap rr> to figure out it's MIME handlers?

And this is important because it means you've *got* a backup of that software. Your backup strategy can take advantage of that if you want. I'd say that most Linux rpm's should put software in /usr/local. An rpm is the standard means of software distribution for Linux, and everybody and their brother distributes them. The net result is the only difference between installing an rpm and installing a source tarball is where the compile is done. FreeBSD packages are different because the only group distributing FreeBSD packages is FreeBSD itself. That means packages are generally available from FreeBSD, if not on the CDROM. I've seen a few ports floating around, but in that case I store the *port* in my home directory, and let the package install in the default location. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

I will tell you a little about my business, and what I am currently working with. I cannot justify moving from my open-sourced system to Windows 2000, and am curious as to why you would choose HotMail as a prime example? I do not know of too many companies which could afford (primarily speaking about financially) the migration of 5000+ servers from an open-source (cost-free licensed) to Windows 2000. I cannot even begin to fathom what such a cost would be, based upon my experiences with Microsoft and it's software licensing charges. I am attempting not too be biased with this email, as I am dead serious, and would truly appreciate an honest reply. I am currently involved in the startup phase of a new devision to an existing company. My network is a relatively small network with a cluster of about 30 servers (and growing), running web, database, and email services. On all of the intel-based machines I am running the FreeBSD (various releases from 2.2.8-RELEASE -> 4.3-STABLE) operating system, on Sun Sparc based machines I am running either Solaris 2.8, or OpenBSD 2.8 and on all of the Apple Macintosh systems I am running OpenBSD 2.8 (used primarily for SSL servers). All servers are on a 100mbit switched LAN, (using Cisco Catalyst switches), with Gigabit (over fiber) connections between several of the key servers (eg: primary user database and mail servers) in the progress of implementation. We offer web-hosting, server co-location, and custom web/database design. I use Oracle, MySQL, and PostGre SQL as well as a custom design which leverages the UFS filesystem's capabilities for the databases. In general, I am happy with the design, and really satisfied with the performance. I cam accross your article reading a thread posted to questions@freebsd.org; and from there I understand that your move from FreeBSD to Windows 2000 was primarily motivated by political reasons. I can see how it would be a huge embarassment to be running one of the most successful sites on the internet from a platform which you cannot market and/or sell yourselves. Still, from an unbiased perspective, I'd ask you to answer a few questions regarding this migration. First and foremost, I can see how this migration wouldn't have incurred the licensing charges as it is a part of Microsoft; but how much would the total cost for the licensing on all of the HotMail webservers cost the average business (which is not owned nor operated by Microsoft)? Judging by what it would have cost me to run Win2000 Server for a measly 25 users on our local office LAN I can't even contemplate the licensing cost for 5000+ servers serving millions of users. I do understand that one may be able to get away without purchasing so many copies of the O/S, but I cannot see how you would legally allow an outside company to run that many servers without individually licensing them. To be honest, I do not know much about Microsoft's licensing policies... perhaps you do offer some sort of bulk, flat-rate, or site-wide licensing fee schedule for large server farms of this nature, do you? If so, what would the MSRP be for say 5000 servers each serving 2000 users a piece? Secondly, what about the upgrade path? What kind of options would you be able to offer someone with a 5000 unit server farm when you're next 'Service Pack' comes out? Would that company then have to 'upgrade' all machines to the new service pack in order to avoid some threatening back-door entrance to the system that you 'weren't aware of'? What about say the next generation of the O/S? Would the company then have to re-purchase licensing for each server to be upgraded? What would this cost? I mean just the software cost; not including the IT staffing requirements to actually procure such a transition. Thirdly, to what level of customization could you possibly offer to such a company? With FreeBSD, (or any other Open-Sourced system), the company would have the extreme flexability in that they could simply change or alter components of the O/S which they simply do not require. For example, the GUI; similar to Novell Netware 5, wherein the GUI doesn't have to be using system resources because it doesn't always have to be loaded... or ever loaded to begin with for that matter. What if the company were involved in some obtuse practise, (say VOIP), wherein they were required to service thousands or even millions of clients over a protocol which your O/S doesn't directly support? Would they then have to fork-out more money for OS 'add-ons', and/or 'upgrades'? Would they then incur more licensing fees? Would they be forced to go to a third party to provide them with a solution that would work on your platform? Would you then refuse to support it because it was designed a third party; worse yet, would you blame problems their encountering on imcompatabilities or state that you 'do not support that'? Which brings us to another issue, support. What would you charge for a support contract to be able to fully provide technical support for a company of this magnitude? I know of several firms which support FreeBSD for such massive endeavors, but I would assume that something this large would have to be supported by Microsoft directly. Primarily so because no-one else (should) have more knowledge of the O/S and/or how it functions; and therefor be knowledgable enough to support it. What would a typical technical support contract for a company with 5000 servers running Windows 2000 cost? Lastly, what about performance. You stated in your article that FreeBSD does not perform well in a given scenario. From what I understand, that given scenario really doesn't apply to Apache. Therefor you compared the performance of two completely different things, of course stating that yours was better. My question is, that if yours is so much better then why are some of the largest sites on the internet still using FreeBSD and Apache? These are the few companies which this migration could potentially apply to, for example Yahoo. Companies which do service as many if not more clients than HotMail, yet I don't see them even attempting to justify such a migration. Why do you suppose they aren't? Have you approached companies like Yahoo? What was the typical response given to you by them? To sum up things a bit, I would like to know what it would have cost an outside company to make such a transition from and open-sourced system to Windows 2000. This would of course not include their IT staffing, programatic changes, and downtime incurred to do so. I would like to know why, (other than for the obvious political reasons), you chose to make such a migration public news. I would like to better understand how you could possible intend to market such a large migration for any other company outside of the Microsoft Corporation. If you could reasonably answer any of the above, in a manner as unbiased as possible I would truly like to hear from you. Please note that I have also carbon copied this message to the FreeBSD support list, in an effort to understand the FreeBSD community's viewpoint on this as well. I would encourage you to also carbon copy your response to this list, as I am sure I am not the only one with questions of this nature.

It does not need to be unique to one site, only variable from site to site. Still, if you disagee, we can use the FHS phrase, "installing software locally." Ports software is installed locally. It may be that you don't consider it a local install if you do it during system installation, but I didn't install any ports during system installation; I installed everything afterwards. > > /usr/local must be protected from > > overwriting when the system software is updated.

The only the that qualifies as "FreeBSD" is the stuff that the FreeBSD team collectively maintains. This is ONLY the stuff in /usr/src. Hence this is what makes up a FreeBSD system. Having select packages (not every port is included) on the CD is like bundling MS Windows with MS Office; you can't reasonably say that Office is a part of Windows.

As I said, not everything is packaged and stored on CD-ROM. In fact, very few of the ports are included on the main CD (there may be others, but you can only look at what EVERYBODY with a disc is sure to have: the main ISO). Do you mean to tell me that, assuming we value the CD test as a valid benchmark for what is site-specific (and believe me, we don't), some ports are placed in /usr/local because they aren't on CD. This means that certain ports are kept in /usr/local, while their cousins are in /usr. This is absolutely ridiculous. You are forgetting that this is the networked generation. Not everybody even has an ISO available. Today, with broadband and the like, it's easy to do an FTP install without ever touching a CD. Therefore you can't apply any standard to third-party software; the CD test breaks down. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 9:40:54 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (f263.law11.hotmail.com [64.4.16.138]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3402C37B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 09:40:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from aodpc@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 09:40:52 -0700 Received: from 205.244.160.88 by lw11fd.law11.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 16:40:51 GMT X-Originating-IP: [205.244.160.88] From: "Yan Liu" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Sound Blaster PCI128 problem Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 16:40:51 -0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 25 Apr 2001 16:40:52.0084 (UTC) FILETIME=[7D8A1340:01C0CDA6] Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Problem solved!

I seem to recall > that the RPM format even has a flag to indicate if this has been done. A great deal of dpkg and rpm packages will not allow you to relocate them. Common examples are gnome-libs, kde-libs, and other stuff that you probably want moved more than anything. Of course, since all of gnome depends on the libraries, that also means you can't move any of the gnome packages. A classic example of how linux is simpler and more intelligent than FreeBSD... until you want to customize things. Slackware is the only system that gives you FULL control over where packages are kept (at least in the old days). Since slackware packages are simply tarballs, you can extract them anywhere you like. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 9:57:34 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from sheppard.torfree.net (sheppard.torfree.net [199.71.188.24]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3BFC437B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 09:57:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from di530@incoming-archive-folders.torfree.net) Received: by sheppard.torfree.net (Postfix, from userid 29565) id A6BD760E6; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 10:56:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by sheppard.torfree.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id A492D12 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 10:56:55 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 10:56:55 -0400 (EDT) From: "Ellen Anne Guth " X-Sender: di530@sheppard.torfree.net To: questions@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG how do I get 1777 protection, make sure my mailing address is alright and how do I complete my incoming mail archives?

Yes, but will the execute properly under those conditons? pkg_add will gladly install a package whever you tell it to, but if the package has paths compiled into it, it will fail. I dropped mail on -ports suggesting that we add an rpm-like relocatable flag to packages. That would improve the current situation. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

This is a first time installation for me, so I am still learning how to do this. As it stands now, the installation cd doesn't have drivers for the AIC 7870 and so it can't find any drives to install the OS to... It doesn't appear that the later versions of BSD offer direct support for the AIC 7870 chipset either so getting the latest version won't buy me any simple solution there, howver, from doing a bit of looking around, it appears that there is a work around for this. It appears that I will need to create a series of installation disks instead of the CD installation. But I still need to determine what SCSI drivers to use, and how to get the installation to work with them. Has anyone done this before, and if so could they sketch out how they went about doing this?

Given that, my impression is that the support on these boards is not as strong as say the Alteon based or SysKonnect NICs. Recently, several vendors seem to be releasing NICs based on the broadcom chipsets (I'm not sure which particular model) such as the 3COM 3C966-T. I'm not sure what level of suport these will have in FreeBSD.

Linux does not have a 2 GB limit. No patch is needed. You might need to upgrade; Red Hat 7.1 would work. If fsck performance bothers you, then you should use a journalling filesystem like Reiserfs. Then you will not need to run fsck after power loss. BTW, anybody can make a fast fsck... but is it good? The ext2 one has a huge regression test suite.

I attempt to connect via exceed, and I never see the xdm login screen, either via a xdmcp broadcast, or a direct query.

Not sure where xdm is pulling that IP from, or how to fix. -- Mahlon Smith InternetCDS http://www.internetcds.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 12:25:43 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from obsecurity.dyndns.org (adsl-63-207-60-27.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net [63.207.60.27]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8858137B422 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 12:25:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kris@obsecurity.org) Received: by obsecurity.dyndns.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 1EFE866DF6; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 12:25:39 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 12:25:38 -0700 From: Kris Kennaway To: G D McKee Cc: Questions FreeBSD Subject: Re: Connecting to FreeBsd over SSH2 using SecureCRT Message-ID: <20010425122538.G78153@xor.obsecurity.org> References: <00cf01c0cd7c$d28bf400$0500a8c0@gdmckee.local> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-md5; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="4ndw/alBWmZEhfcZ" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <00cf01c0cd7c$d28bf400$0500a8c0@gdmckee.local>; from freebsd@gdmckee.com on Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 12:42:35PM +0100 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG --4ndw/alBWmZEhfcZ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 12:42:35PM +0100, G D McKee wrote: > Hi >=20 > I can get secure CRT 3.3 to connect to freebsd fine, I have having > difficulties getting portforwarding to work.

You can look at it here: http://www.bowdoin.edu/~mcowger/DIABLO.txt Its nothing really special, just removing drivers I dont use. You can find my dmesg output here: http://www.bowdoin.edu/~mcowger/dmesg.txt (9.4K) And finally, the output as the compile continues: http://www.bowdoin.edu/~mcowger/stop.txt (96K) I am running the command: make buildkernel KERNEL=DIABLO and end up with the errors in the link above (stop.txt). Can anyone figure out whats going wrong? I even cvsup'd src-all last night.

Okay, I'm an idiot because I don't know what kdm does, but you can put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and that'll run when it boots.

Please see the chapter in the handbook on kernel debugging and how you can obtain useful information from a panic which will allow a developer to track down your problem. Once you have a crashdump and backtrace, post the information to stable@FreeBSD.org (not many developers read questions@). It could be an obscure bug in FreeBSD which you are triggering, but the more likely explanation is probably marginal hardware (heavy activity like compiling stresses the hardware more, and perhaps you haven't seen it under 4.2 because that box has been lightly loaded for a while) Kris --aF3LVLvitz/VQU3c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE65yXTWry0BWjoQKURAoAGAJ9Am7o/sAZwhNccDUr8G7FOeMDH5wCfZDa9 Oo6R4wv7KoPI8sUJk1LR/Xg= =uC8p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --aF3LVLvitz/VQU3c-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 12:31:37 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mobile.hub.org (SHW12-37.accesscable.net [24.71.155.37]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CEEF537B422 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 12:31:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from scrappy@hub.org) Received: from localhost (scrappy@localhost) by mobile.hub.org (8.11.3/8.11.1) with ESMTP id f3PJIcp49759 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 16:18:39 -0300 (ADT) (envelope-from scrappy@hub.org) X-Authentication-Warning: mobile.hub.org: scrappy owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 16:18:38 -0300 (ADT) From: The Hermit Hacker To: Subject: Re: SuperMicro 370DLE w/ onboard ethernet ...

Yes, using an experimental filesystem to get faster fsck times is a sensible idea. When it eats your disk, you can always restore from a backup.

The source code to OS X is not publically available (nor will it ever be, since it contains lots of proprietary code as well as code which Apple considers to be critical to their business model to be kept proprietary -- the Aqua GUI, etc). Darwin is the OS X kernel and UNIX layer which runs beneath OS X -- this is the "Open Source" one, and it has been ported to Intel. You'll have better luck asking on a Darwin mailing list since it's a fairly different beast to FreeBSD, though based on much of the FreeBSD code.

How can I do? It means BIND received a connection from the invalid TCP port 0 which it dropped because it couldn't do anything with it.

Packages are just FreeBSD ports compiled on somebody else's machine. Not only the FreeBSD team can distribute them; anybody can make a package by changing to the appropriate directory in the ports tree, and typing `make package`. It builds the port, installs it, and also creates a tarball FreeBSD package. This means installing packages is no different than installing ports, except you likely don't make use of the CPUTYPE flags in make.conf, and if the compiling host is stored in the code (e.g., XFree86), it won't be your machine that is reported. I should also redirect you to my earlier post. "Site-specific" (or "locally installed" if you read the Linux FSSTND) does NOT mean locally compiled. It simply means the presence of the software depends on the machine you are at. This is exactly the case with all ports... they are optional. The only software a FreeBSD system is GUARANTEED to have is the stuff in /usr/src... because that is the only software the FreeBSD team works on. Ports are maintained by individuals who have spare time and desire... they have nothing to do with the base system. And again... even if you believe that /usr/local is reserved for locally compiled stuff only, remember that all the ports are locally compiled. Hence they belong in /usr/local. Packages are designed to replace ports; do you mean to tell me that certain ports should be in /usr, and certain ports should be in /usr/local, simply because they were compiled on different machines? That is an adminstration and organization nightmare, and makes no sense whatsoever. If you can name a port or package that you think is on every standard FreeBSD box out there, I can show you a system which doesn't have it and doesn't need it. If there really *is* something that should be on every standard box, then it doesn't belong in the ports... it belongs in the contrib branch of the main source tree. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 12:58:16 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from kendra.ne.mediaone.net (kendra.ne.mediaone.net [24.218.227.234]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 60D5F37B422 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 12:58:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from avatar+public@canary.kew.com) Received: from xena (xena.hh.kew.com [192.168.203.148]) by kendra.ne.mediaone.net (Postfix) with SMTP id 3F3888C3F for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 15:58:13 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <023f01c0cdc2$0f73ca10$94cba8c0@hh.kew.com> From: "Drew Derbyshire" Cc: References: <01c201c0cda0$b5db6650$94cba8c0@hh.kew.com> <20010425120737.D49519@guinness.osdn.com> Subject: Re: Building /usr/X11R6/bin/ Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 15:58:12 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > make world doesn't touch X.

Once you format and load 4.2R, put your saved copy of /etc/master.passwd onto the new system then run: pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd You're probably using DES encryption on 2.2.8 so you'll need to tell the new box to use that as well. You'll want to add: :passwd_format=des:\ to the default entry in /etc/login.conf and then run cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf (probably in single user mode) You may to go over some of the "stock" entries in your original master.passwd and the new one. I just did the same type of thing last November on 3 of our machines. I just used the top of the "new" master.passwd and copied the bottom section of the old master.passwd (minus the stock entries at at the top). > Another question, it is OK to upgrade the binaries from /stand/sysinstall > to 4.2 R, or it would be better to format the drive? I formatted and started over. Actually, we built a new machine so I had the advantage of having the old machine there in case I forgot to save something. But if you don't have anything too massive to save and bring forward, start fresh! -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 13: 1: 8 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from obsecurity.dyndns.org (adsl-63-207-60-27.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net [63.207.60.27]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 20FB637B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 13:01:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kris@obsecurity.org) Received: by obsecurity.dyndns.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id B9B3B66E09; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 13:01:05 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 13:01:05 -0700 From: Kris Kennaway To: Anton Alin-Adrian Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: your mail Message-ID: <20010425130105.B79495@xor.obsecurity.org> References: <000701c0cdbf$b8cc0580$05cfe7c1@burebista> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-md5; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="mojUlQ0s9EVzWg2t" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <000701c0cdbf$b8cc0580$05cfe7c1@burebista>; from alanton@home.ro on Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 10:41:26PM +0300 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG --mojUlQ0s9EVzWg2t Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline On Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 10:41:26PM +0300, Anton Alin-Adrian wrote: > Is it possible to install FreeBSD 4.2 on a 10GB Quantum Fireball > HDD?

Yup - fetchmail is a nice tool. create a .fetchmailrc with the following: poll yourpop3serverhere protocol pop3, user your_username password your_password is your_local_account here Then write a quick shell script that cron can call. #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -v -k > /dev/null 2>&1 & -Ben > Francois Kritzinger wrote: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 13:36:29 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from marlo.eagle.ca (marlo.eagle.ca [209.167.16.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4A2CD37B424 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 13:36:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from freymann@eagle.ca) Received: from phantom (staff.eagle.ca [209.167.16.15]) by marlo.eagle.ca (8.11.0/8.11.0) with SMTP id f3PKZwD67702; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 16:35:58 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from freymann@eagle.ca) Message-ID: <036801c0cdc7$c54037c0$0f01a8c0@phantom> Reply-To: "Gerald T.

The installation will be taking place in Toronto, Canada. I'm in South Africa. I don't want to sit holding the on-site person's hand through the process of trying FTP server after FTP server. :-) So what I want to know is whether anyone can recommend retailers in Toronto that they know for a fact will stock FreeBSD 4.x CD-ROM sets. I'd like to have the on-site guy buy a CD set or two just in case the FTP installation bottoms out for want of a server. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sheldon.

However, I'd really like a contingency plan in case the servers that were okay today aren't okay tomorrow. Hence my desire for discs. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.

 take /etc/master.passwd and save it somewhere. Once you format and load
4.2R, put your saved copy of /etc/master.passwd onto the new system then
run:

pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd

 You're probably using DES encryption on 2.2.8 so you'll need to tell the
new box to use that as well. You'll want to add:

:passwd_format=des:\

to the default entry in /etc/login.conf and then run

cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf (probably in single user mode)

 You may to go over some of the "stock" entries in your original
master.passwd and the new one. I just did the same type of thing last
November on  3 of our machines. I just used the top of the "new"
master.passwd and copied the bottom section of the old master.passwd (minus
the stock entries at at the top).

 I formatted and started over. Actually, we built a new machine so I had
the advantage of having the old machine there in case I forgot to save
something. But if you don't have anything too massive to save and bring
forward, start fresh!

Darwin 1.3.1 has actually been ported to the Intel x86 platform already. The only problem is that you need to be using a motherboard with a Intel chipset since it will only work with Intel IDE controllers so AMD platforms are unuseable at the moment.

If someone else becomes a major distributor of FreeBSD packages/ports, or the FreeBSD adopts the Open Package system - which would have much the same effect - then practice would match theory, and putting packages in /usr/local would make sense. > This means installing packages is no different than installing ports, > except you likely don't make use of the CPUTYPE flags in make.conf, and > if the compiling host is stored in the code (e.g., XFree86), it won't be > your machine that is reported.

PINE doesn't do POP3. You'd have to install fetchmail in order to get your e-mail to your UNIX mailbox, which PINE can easy do. PINE can do IMAP and will work for you only if your mail server supports it.

I've had experiences with certain 3COM revisions not being able to talk to each other or a 3COM switch. From memory (this was a couple years ago) the 905b wouldn't talk to the 905a or 905c but would talk to each other fine. Inconsistancies are not good and make an unsuspecting contractor look bad, especially when they are billing by the hour and take an additional four hours to diagnose the problem, get new cards and everything working. During that incident I replaced the 3COMs with the much cheaper D-Link cards and to this day those boxes are still using them while I donated the 3COM cards to an local UNIX users group. Poor them. The Intel 10/100 cards are pound for pound the best product in their class. They are only about $35 now. You can pick up the IPsec cards for about $5 more. I've never had a problem with any of them. It should be noted as well, that the Intel cards are even a couple bucks cheaper than the 3COM cards, at least where I am anyway. I would buy Intel cards even if they were $40 more expensive.

It says that it might need to go as high as 10,000 for busy servers (which mine isn't). Mine is currently set to 2088. So my new questions are: - is there any risk in raising it really high? - how can I tell which processes are using a lot of files? Thanks!

Actually, the network is a *crictical* part of the equation. For "CD-ROM", read "OS distribution", and for "comes on", read is "is automatically reproducible from": The system is what is automatically reproducible from your OS distribution. Packages and ports are clearly part of that. Of course, the issue of "where it comes from" is a red herring. The real issue is system management. For instance, what do I have to do to restore it if the disk dies, or what do I go if there are problems? For the base system, ports and packages the answer is "you can reinstall the stuff from the OS distribution." Things that have another source - whether you wrote them, ported an applications source, or got a port or package from somewhere else - need a different strategy. If you have to apply this alternate strategy to those things, you may well be wasting time and effort for no good reason. Now, if some command breaks and you want to fix it, what do you do? If it is reproducible from the OS distribution, then you need to use whatever methods the OS has for getting support. On FreeBSD, the best method depends on what you're dealing with. Submitting a pr should work for everything, including ports and packages, even though it may not be optimal. If something wasn't created from the OS distribution, sending a PR probably isn't going to do me any good. Being able to determine that at a glance saves time and effort. This distinction helps even if you're like me, and your first reaction when something breaks is to go look at the source. Systems sources are in a single, well-defined place, and the command usually points straight to them. Sources to ports and packages are similarly in a single well-defined place, or can be trivially made to appear in that place if you clean things up. On my system, sources to things that weren't built with the OS distribution are in a single, well-defined place. Being able to tell which of the three source trees I need to look in at a glance saves me time and effort. Those aren't "who compiled it, where did the source come from, etc." issues, they are system management issues. Being able to segregate these two classes of things is important to some people. To others, it isn't - but they can merge them back with a single command. If you can show me how I can keep things that aren't reproducible from the OS distribution in /usr/local - where they traditionally belong - while at the same time installing ports in /usr/local segregated with a single command, I'll concede the point. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Of course, I'd have to restart it after a reboot, but this machine hasn't needed a reboot in weeks so I'm good. > Francois Kritzinger wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > How do you get pine to check for email? > > > > I can SEND mail using pine, but not GET mail. > > > > I can send+recieve in Netscape though, so sendmail is working I guess... > > > > Thanks. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Matt Barton matt@fear.net Indianapolis, IN http://www.mattbarton.ws/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 15:21:44 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from db.nexgen.com (db.nexgen.com [64.81.208.78]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 66C5237B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 15:21:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ml@db.nexgen.com) Received: (qmail 91227 invoked from network); 25 Apr 2001 22:22:39 -0000 Received: from localhost (HELO book) (root@127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 25 Apr 2001 22:22:39 -0000 Message-ID: <005101c0cdd6$22879460$01000001@book> From: "alexus" To: Subject: conftest crashed Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 18:21:54 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG i got this line loged by syslogd in all.log..

You make good points. I think we're the only two guys on this thread that make any sense. What we have here is simple matter of preference. I think you will concede that packages do NOT belong in the /usr tree along with the base system. This is not what /usr was intended for. If anything, I'll bet you created a /usr/local/pkg or something similar to segregate ports and packages? People before were arguing that packages belong in /usr, the way linux packaging systems dump everything in /usr. This is absolutely ridiculous. Surely you conced that the ports are site-specific, albeit easily rebuilt in the event of problems. Therefore, the belong somewhere in the local tree. The difference between you and me, then, is that I don't care to separate the stuff I retrieved by hand and the stuff in the ports; you do. This is exactly why UNIX is configurable: skillful administrators have different beliefs and preferences about where things belong. However, I think it is poor practice to dump everything in /usr. No ports belong there. Like I said, if there *is* a port that belongs in /usr, the committers should pull the port into the contrib tree and elminate the port, like was done with OpenSSH. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 15:25:40 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fear.net (fear.net [207.180.208.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD2C737B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 15:25:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from matt@fear.net) Received: from fear.net (matt@fear.net [207.180.208.7]) by fear.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA21254; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 17:27:06 -0400 Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 17:27:05 -0400 (EDT) From: "Thomas (Matt) Barton" To: Dave Leimbach Cc: Roelof Osinga , Subject: Re: Misinformation In-Reply-To: <988240276.600.0.camel@mpi-plusplus.mpi-softtech.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 25 Apr 2001, Dave Leimbach wrote: > I considered that and thought that perhaps they though OSX was all > FreeBSD based. > > I don't know about SMP Mac OS X yet.... OS X does support SMP, but I understand that it still has some ways to go. I may be wrong. Look for Apple to release more SMP systems in the future.

Well, the beauty of mutt is that you can use any editor you want. I have mine configured to use vim, wrap text at 72 characters, and do some extra stuff.

Ever since back in '93 he proclaimed that this new thing on the horizon known as NT, this veritable UNIX killer like IBM's AS/400 was a VAX killer was based on a microkernel OS. He made this utterance in front of a crowd of UNIX geeks. Mistake. BIG Mistake . Mach, of course, *is* a microkernel. Hence OS/X is based on a microkernel. Njahdie, njahdie, njahdie . Alas, both microkernels seem not to be in vogue anymore as is the case with MHz-en. Sure, speed's always nice. But currently it seems the processors are fast enough for even Java! . Besides, if you really need speed... dump that Cray and install a Real Gameputer! Processors with 128 bit wordsize, standard reality engines, whatever.

It is all about single user mode on this one. When FreeBSD pauses at start and lets you press any key to enter options (or something like that -- can't remember for sure because I never have to reboot my machines), all you need to do is type "boot -s" and it will put you in to single user mode. It will ask you for a shell to use before it gives you a prompt. In there you can fix your shell for the root user.

The error just before reboot is: Panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc My first suspicion was a hardware problem, but I have swapped *everything* out (mobo, disks, cables, CPU, RAM, floppy, NIC) and it still happens. I have logged temperatures and reboots have occurred as low at 34╟C. Curiously enough, I built another box with identical hardware a few months ago and it's happily chugging away down at the colo. NJow I'm thinking that I have some messed up setting in the BIOS, but without the other machine on hand to compare... Here's the hardware: ABit SE6 Celeron 633 2 x 128M PC100 2 x IBM 46G ATA100 Intel 10/100 I have experienced this with 4.1-R, 4.2-R and 4.2-S from a month or two ago. I have a core from the crash, but no kernel.debug to compare to. It's a GENERIC 4.1-R kernel. - H __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 17:33:13 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from karon.dynas.se (karon.dynas.se [192.71.43.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 2839237B446 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 17:33:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mikko@dynas.se) Received: (qmail 65289 invoked from network); 26 Apr 2001 00:32:34 -0000 Received: from spirit.sto.dynas.se (HELO spirit.dynas.se) (172.16.1.10) by 172.16.1.1 with SMTP; 26 Apr 2001 00:32:34 -0000 Received: (qmail 14419 invoked from network); 26 Apr 2001 00:33:02 -0000 Received: from explorer.rsa.com (10.81.217.59) by spirit.dynas.se with SMTP; 26 Apr 2001 00:33:02 -0000 Received: (from mikko@localhost) by explorer.rsa.com (8.11.3/8.11.1) id f3Q0Wem38959; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 17:32:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mikko) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 17:32:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Mikko Tyolajarvi Message-Id: <200104260032.f3Q0Wem38959@explorer.rsa.com> To: philip@adhesivemedia.com Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: /kernel: file: table is full ???

I am trying to run the Linux version under FreeBSD 4.2. I have no problem getting the Cumulus server program to launch and stay running under Linux. When I tried to login from the Cumulus client program (a different computer), Cumulus complained it didn't know me. I learned that Linux keeps passwords stored in /etc/shadow but FreeBSD uses /etc/master.passwd. When I created a properly formatted /etc/shadow, I was able to login. I have a feeling this means that Cumulus is bypassing Linux system calls for authentication and manually looking for the /etc/shadow file which is not implemented under the /compat/linux tree. Does this sound accurate? The next step is for me to have Cumulus create a database, but Cumulus complains when I give it a path inside my Linux account. I know that /home is just a link to /usr/home, so I tried the full link, and I also tried moving my account under the /compat/linux tree but that doesn't help. I tried a kernel trace of the various Cumulus processes and can see the communication between the client and Cumulus but it is gibberish. I am assuming Cumulus wants create a file on disk in the path I specify but for some reason is getting throwing off by the underlying emulation, for example, by looking for some other file it shouldn't be. However, the cryptic error message appears to be inside its "oSecureU.cpp." file. I am trying to get help from the company's tech support, but they don't officially support FreeBSD.

If I'd know that NetBSD used /usr/pkgs (I think that's it), I would have used that. /usr/local/pkg would serve the same purpose - it segregates package and local name space. Personally, I want to use the same backup strategy on packages as /usr, so I put them on the same file system, which makes /usr/ slightly faster. > People before were arguing that packages belong in /usr, the way linux > packaging systems dump everything in /usr.

No, I don't think they belong in the local tree. I can see there are good reasons for people not wanting them in /usr, just as I don't want them in /usr/local. I can also see why some people would want them in /usr/local - I'm just not one of them. Once you give them a directory of their own, you can put them pretty much anywhere with a symlink, including merging them back into the local tree or /usr. If you dumped them in /usr, you'd take that ability away from people, which is sufficient reason to me to *not* do that. > The difference between you and me, then, is that I don't care to > separate the stuff I retrieved by hand and the stuff in the ports; you > do.

If you've read the libh project document, you'll notice that changing the OS distribution so that the OS is bundled as packages - complete with dependencies - is on the list of things to do. This will provide the -RELEASE user with flexibility in installing the system that's currently reserved for people building from sources. OpenSSH would probably have been part of the base system long ago if they could have beeen legally distributed from California. OpenBSD avoided that problem by being located in Canada. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

The ahc driver has been in the installation system since 3.0. In other words, if everything is configured properly, you should be able to install directly from the CD.

My bad - I just read the title a little closer; you're talking about 3.3, not 4.3. It's not clear the 3.3 ahc drivers had AIC7870 support. If not, you're pretty much out of luck.

Many are installed in /usr/X11R6. That's the "other" major place for ports to go. X is the only port that's installed using the system binary installation method.

Now, I would like to map the keys on the console. That means I need one of two questions answered: 1) Is there a program like xev that operates on the console, to tell me the appropriate keycode to use in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps files? 2) Is there a definite correlation between X11 keycodes and FreeBSD console keycodes?

Then I installed a different ftp server, it does the same thing. I installed linux, it transfers very well, so is not hardware. What's happening ? Bad programmed drivers ? Thanks !

X is not installed into the "base system". It is installed into /usr/X11R6. Why would it be reasonable to expect that it's built with world? That would also make it reasonable to expect the other 5000+ ports were built with world. > > . If you want to update X, use the port. > > Hmmm. The ports aren't building. But that's another matter.... Yes they are. I built X 4.0.3_3 a few days ago. The problem Dan Langille reported yesterday was fixed when he cleaned the work directory before building. - jim -- - jim mock - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 22: 0:49 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from web14107.mail.yahoo.com (web14107.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.172.137]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id EBEDD37B505 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 22:00:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from k_greenwood1@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <20010426045123.13745.qmail@web14107.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [216.95.179.42] by web14107.mail.yahoo.com; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 21:51:23 PDT Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 21:51:23 -0700 (PDT) From: "K.

First off, what does 3c5x9cfg say? I'm assuming that you likely installed the NIC's and let auto config do it's thing. Also I'm assuming that you have run the test on the NIC and no errors are produced. I've noticed that sometimes this is not satisfactory to what BSD requires. Basically, you have to install 1 card (run 3c5x9cfg autoconfig and test) restart BSD note the resources that it uses, and then go back to 3c5x9cfg and set the card to that (and of course ensure that it still works). Then install the next card... run 3c5x9cfg, restart note resources, change NIC settings to what BSD expects. BTW, I think you have to power down the system each time you make a change to each NIC. Repeat until carpel tunnel sets in.

Real modems (AKA modems that don't eat your CPU alive and make your system slow to a crawl) aren't really expensive. You can get the very very good 3Com Performance Pro modem for less than $70. It's a REAL modem, it is supported by every operating system that is worth its weight in dirt (and Windows) and will let your CPU do something more appropriate for its design. Winmodems will almost certainly never be supported unless a single model becomes dominant before narrow-band modems die. The reason for this is that they do all of their MoDem stuff (Modulation and demodulation of analog and digital signals) in software. Thus, each one requires a very complex piece of software (the "driver"). Because most modems require a different one, and because most companies don't release the intimate details of their "designs", and because most of the people that are coding-literate enough to write such a piece of software don't use Winmodems, future support of Winmodems is unlikely. Most Winmodems don't even work with all versions of Windows. In fact, when a new version comes out, you usually have to wait a period of time equal to a month on into infinity for a new driver (technically a new modem). Winmodems=bad. If you can afford to use a real one, I am certain that any competant person that you ask--even a non-Unix user, will agree. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 22:24: 6 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (f199.law11.hotmail.com [64.4.17.199]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7B6FA37B422 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 22:24:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from burnscharlesn@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 22:24:02 -0700 Received: from 64.20.170.2 by lw11fd.law11.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 05:24:01 GMT X-Originating-IP: [64.20.170.2] From: "Charles Burns" To: david@banning.com, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: make world needs single user mode?

One warning about Sony is that their warranty is 30 days on the battery and 90 days on the laptop unless you register online. They'll extend the laptop warranty to 1 year after registration, but the battery is listed as a consumable and keeps is measily 30 day limit.

You should probably avoid installing the source as well then use another system to do the "make world". Doing so on a 486 would be slower than a dead slug stuck in frozen molasses. Clearly your website should keep the dynamic content to a minimum and shouldn't be expected to handle much traffic, but it should be more than fast enough for a cable modem assuming that you have a throttled upload speed (if not, tell me how you did it ;-) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 22:56:29 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (f73.law11.hotmail.com [64.4.17.73]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1683537B42C for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 22:56:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from burnscharlesn@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 22:56:26 -0700 Received: from 64.20.170.2 by lw11fd.law11.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 05:56:26 GMT X-Originating-IP: [64.20.170.2] From: "Charles Burns" To: mprice@atl.lmco.com, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Purchasing a scanner - need advice.

Otherwise, 300DPI is just fine. (I have a 1200DPI scanner and rarely scan at about 150) An 8.5*11" picture@32 bit color is around 400MB as well. 2) HP and Umax both make good scanners (Other companies do as well I am sure but I haven't used them). HP has rediculously good support. Not sure how they maintain a profit. -Avoid Visioneer- (I have stories for both HP and Visioneer if anyone cares) 3) I have no idea which scanners are compatible with FreeBSD as I use FreeBSD for servers (i.e. without scanners), but you are probably better off with a SCSI or parallel port scanner than a USB scanner.

Interesting, isn't it, that FreeBSD supports most Microsoft technologies but Microsoft doesn't follow suit? Sorry, you're out of luck short of writing a filesystem driver for UFS. One may exist, but I have yet to see it. If it is critically important that you have some type of Unix and Windows and that they interoperate, you can either make a FAT/FAT32 partition that both systems can mount/write to or you can use Linux and then install one of the Windows EXT2 drivers. (You can probably get FreeBSD installed onto an EXT2 partition, but that kills some of my favorite benefits over Linux) Hope this helps. You could always send a request to Microsoft. I'm sure they'll ignore it. ;-) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 23: 5:42 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (f152.law11.hotmail.com [64.4.17.152]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E743437B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 23:05:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from burnscharlesn@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 23:05:39 -0700 Received: from 64.20.170.2 by lw11fd.law11.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 06:05:39 GMT X-Originating-IP: [64.20.170.2] From: "Charles Burns" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Make world without reboot?

You can use "dd" to extract your boot record and then put it into NT's root and point its multi-OS thingy to it (Pretty rediculusly difficult for multibooting if you ask me. Probably intentional) or you can just have FreeBSD repair the MBR by booting from a CD or floppy after NT is installed. You can then use FreeBSD to do the multibooting. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 25 23:35: 6 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp.bmi.net (smtp.bmi.net [204.57.191.31]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BA68C37B423 for ; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 23:35:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net) Received: from webmail.bmi.net (dsl-154.bmi.net [207.173.60.230]) by smtp.bmi.net (Pro-8.9.3/Pro-8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA19070; Wed, 25 Apr 2001 23:34:57 -0700 Message-ID: <3AE7C191.E8D3ED6@webmail.bmi.net> Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 23:34:57 -0700 From: John Merryweather Cooper X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12 i386) X-Accept-Language: en-US, en, en-GB MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Charles Burns Cc: FreeBSD Questions Mailing List Subject: Re: Win98+Linux+FreeBSD?

All the BIOS does is supply the masters which are loaded up into memory. There's an INT 10 interface to do this. The hard part is actually mastering (re: designing the font) so it looks good. A long time ago, in a place far, far away I wrote a CRT unit for Quick Pascal that supported 80x50 mode on a Tandy 2000 (which has a different, but functionally similar character generator to a VGA-compatible adapter). I supplied my own custom 8x8 font and loaded it up to the character generator. It's probably still rattling around in what's left of CompuServe . . . :) jmc > I don't have a link for this program's website handy but it shouldn't be too > hard to Google. > > >From: Robert Clark > >To: Omar Gani > >CC: bobread@ids.net, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >Subject: Re: Win98+Linux+FreeBSD? > >Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 19:19:00 -0700 > > > > > >With some clever manipulation, you can have more > >than 4 partitions in a hard disk. > > > >But you can only have 4 of them setup at once. > > > >Its been some time ago, but the sequence went something > >like this: > > > > > >Setup DOS. > >Boot DOS. > >Use pfdisk to make snapshot #1 of the partition table. > >Setup OS #2. > >Reboot to DOS. > >Use pfdisk to make snapshot #2 of p table. > >Use pfdisk to restore snapshot #1 of p table. > >Reboot. > >Setup OS #3. > >Repeat as necessary. > >(Eventually build a boot menu for DOS.) > > > > > >I realize that its ugly.

I have 2 FreeBSD boxes which are confusing me. The first box is FreeBSD 3.4 and when I telnet in, I run bash as my shell and have an alias that loads up perfectly when I log in. Then I su and the alias follows me. Problem is, the other box also FreeBSD 3.4 and I also run bash and have the same alias set which works perfectly. But when I su all my aliases are lost. The only way I can get them back is by sourcing my .profile Is there something in the root setup or my personal setup that will take my aliases with me after I su ?

I was thinking of making a text-mode MPEG player that generates its own font once per frame to make the picture look less terrible than, say, an ASCII movie player if such a beast existed. (Am I a masochist or what?) The only ASM docs that I have are from Microsoft QuickC, back when Microsoft knew how to make useful documentation (read: not MSDN) I guess i'll need to write a completely different one for FreeBSD (being protected mode and all), but I am sure docs for doing so won't be anywhere near as much of a PITA to come across.

You need to add device agp to your kernel configuration. Then you need to create /etc/X11/XF86Config (eg. with xf86config). In X 4.0.3 there is possibility to choose i810 card -- in earlier versions you need to put i810 configuration yourself (card id. "i810" -- that's all). You need also to have i810 x-srever (as module, while installing X from ports). It's running fine on my i810 based card. For more infos try google.com with +FreeBSD +i810; Intel site is outdated (for linux only :( ).

Thanks! Actually, you're in for more pain than you know. In protected mode, video adapter programming divides itself up into the following categories: non-VESA compliant, VESA 1.2 compliant, VESA 2.0 compliant, VESA 3.0 compliant. Of these, only VESA 3.0 has a very complete protected mode interface. Upwards of 95% of the cards your program is likely to run on are going to be VESA 1.2 or VESA 2.0. non-VESA and VESA 1.2 have real-mode only interfaces--so you'll need a complete context switcher, a mini-DOS emulator to make the INT 10 calls, and plenty of hacks for the weird cases. VESA 2.0 has a protected mode interface, but you usually need to be in real mode, call a special INT 10 call to get an entry point, and then switch back to protected mode. But it can be done . . . You'll need the VESA 1.2 and 2.0 docs from VESA (they cost). It was possible to download the VESA 3.0 standard for free from there site about two years ago--don't know if that's still the case. And you'll need the technical docs for each and every "weird" adapter you're willing to support--(you'll find that there are more of those than you think . . . :) ) You might find it easier to just punt, go into a graphics mode, cobble up your own character generator, and roll-your-own characters, etc. Regardless, in real mode, the INT 10 all you're interested is 0x11, subfunctions 0x00 and 0x10. It stores the character table you provide in a memory locationg that turns out to be pointed to by the address of the INT 43 entry in the DOS interrupt table. For more ideas, you might want to take a look at: 1) the source code for the X video system (does alot of what I described above); and 2) the MGL 5.0 Beta 2 code at ftp.scitechsoft.com. If you install perforce, you can set up to get updates (MGL is being actively developed--mostly in OS/2 and Win32 right now because that's where the money is--but with plans to do work on Linux (first) and FreeBSD and some others later. jmc > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 26 0:46:39 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cicero1.cybercity.dk (cicero1.cybercity.dk [212.242.40.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5A3A337B42C; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 00:46:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mekanix@vip.cybercity.dk) Received: from usr02.cybercity.dk (usr02.cybercity.dk [212.242.40.82]) by cicero1.cybercity.dk (Postfix) with ESMTP id F271215FD05; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 09:46:30 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mekanix.my.domain (port102.cvx1-ro.ppp.cybercity.dk [212.242.169.103]) by usr02.cybercity.dk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id JAA18379; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 09:46:41 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from mekanix@vip.cybercity.dk) Message-Id: <200104260746.JAA18379@usr02.cybercity.dk> Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 09:46:07 +0200 From: Bjarne Wichmann Petersen To: FreeBSD-questions Cc: FreeBSD-multimedia Subject: What is MTRR? ... and slow xine.

Ten years ago I came to USA, started a business a year later bought a Mac and FileMakerPro and to this day I don't want to know what resource fork means. Good thing: you can hire a lot of smarties who do. they even have a hair-cut before they come for an interview ... and they think they got themselves a good cut after they are hired. There used be talented repackagers in Cupertino, much more talented than in F*land. But... I stopped buying Apples since the Moron killed the cloners who started to exhibit better engineering by that time. There was a lot of talk about G4, but look at the pathetic chipset they put it in.

The design seems like it was pulled straight out of a goat's ass. The guy who wrote the driver (forget his name) put something like this in the source code for the driver: "This card re-defines the meaning of 'low end'...". It IS incredibly cheap though, and supported by almost any platform. It's most likely not a driver issue either. Since it's so cheap, many people have it, so this bug would probably already have been caught. The card is too dumb to auto-configure itself properly for full/half duplex or 10/100 though, so you might want to explicitly set that in /etc/rc.conf...that usually helps.

For example, if you had a loopback device (standard) and an SMC Elite Ultra NIC, you might have th= is set to "lo0 ed0" for the two interfaces. An ifconfig_interface variable is also assumed to exist for each value of interface. It is also possible to add IP alias entries here in cases where you want a single inte= r=AD face to have multiple IP addresses registered against it. Assuming that the interface in question was ed0, it might look something like this: ifconfig_ed0_alias0=3D"inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffff= ff" ifconfig_ed0_alias1=3D"inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffff= ff" And so on. For each ifconfig__alias entry that is found, its contents are passed to ifconfig(8). = Ex=AD ecution stops at the first unsuccessful access, so if you had something like: ifconfig_ed0_alias0=3D"inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0xffffff= ff" ifconfig_ed0_alias1=3D"inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0xffffff= ff" ifconfig_ed0_alias2=3D"inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0xffffff= ff" ifconfig_ed0_alias4=3D"inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffff= ff" Then note that alias4 would not be added since the search would stop with the missing alias3 entry.

Rest is idling. I think I've spotted the bottleneck. But I don't know how to fix it. Playing off the dvd-drive and I get a thoroughput at ~2MB/s. Copying off the dvd-drive it's up to about ~20-25 MB/s (UDMA33). And playing off the harddrive CPU becomes the bottleneck (as it should) and thus only skips a "few" frames.

If your requirements are not too complicated, you can use pipsecd (from ports/net), which is an implementation of ipsec that requires only very limited setup.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Problem: On booting I get "rl0 couldn't map interupt", which man rl tells me is a fatal initialization error. device_probe_and_attach returns 6. Background info: The problem is uniquely with FreeBSD 4.1-R on my Athlon 750 box, ASUS A7Pro motherboard. The card works fine in the Win98 half of my dualboot, and an identical card works fine with 4.1-R in my P120. A search of the -questions archive shows a fair number of "couldn't map ports/memory" problems, no "couldn't map interupt", and few concrete answers... man rl won't tell me anything useful, and the NIC is functional. I have tried mucking about with IRQ in the CMOS setup, but I'm no IRQ expert and all I've managed to do is stop the box from booting if I set anything other than IRQ selection. It's entirely possible I'm missing the blindingly obvious answer/solution. I'm not sub'd to the list, so if you have any thoughts I'd appreciate a CC to me, if that's not standard procedure. And yes, I know it's a fabulously cheap NIC, but for my limited needs it should be more than adequate.

Setting up port forwarding with SecureCRT is simple between two boxes, but put the third box between them and now you have a problem. To do port forwarding for pop you're telling SecureCRT to connect to the remote machine at port 110 and locally at localhost port. The firewall is disallowing connections to port 110. If your firewall is a Socks 4 or 5 firewall, SecureCRT 3.3 provides support for them and it can be done, with or without authentication. If your firewall proxies pop with the plug-gw it can be done. If neither of the previous is true, it cannot be done. If the proxy/firewall does proxy 110 and responds with anything after the "connect" command is sent, it cannot be done. See "Connecting through a Firewall" in the SecureCRT help pages.

So for example I can point outlook at port 9876 and get my pop3 mail via ssh2. The main reason I want this is for the laptop when I am out in the field as the firewall doesn't accept incoming connections on port 110. Or is there another software that will do port forwarding?

I notice at least one recent contributor bagging the RealTek 8139 (with good reason) Personally I make a point of never purchasing el junko hardware, unfortunately a client acquired several of those disasters for a panic job recently & they sure lived up to their reputation !!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR The previous time I encountered them they were purchased by an accountant (yes well .... I know one can't expect much from a beancounter). After a few days of network connectivity problems it wasn't difficult to convince the "powers that be" that it just might be a good idea to have someone technically qualified specify what hardware would be purchased in the future. I'd love to find the moron who designed the abortions & commit certain grievous bodily events against them :) The real net worth of those things is around 5% of their wholesale price (and thats being kind to them) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 26 3: 6: 0 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from gscamnlm03.wr.usgs.gov (gscamnlm03.wr.usgs.gov [130.118.4.113]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1CFC137B422; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 03:05:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rsowders@usgs.gov) To: "Michael J.

Don't try to get out to port 110. The traffic can be routed down the SSH connection itself (any port you like) so when I connect to localhost port the pacets get routed down the tunnel and *then* get forwarded to port 110 on the server. As far as the server is concerned, it just recieved a connection from localhost port (whatever that end of the tunnel uses). We used to use this kind of trick to read mail on the internal LAN mailserver from home. And that was sneaking past a CISCO PIX.

The firewall is > disallowing connections to port 110. Eh? This doesn't sound like a description of what SSH port forwarding does at all. If there's a firewall between you and the remote machine that allows an ssh connection to the remote machine, AND the remote sshd is configured to allow port forwarding, AND the remote machine can make a connection to the port on the mail machine, then you can forward connections to an arbitrary port on localhost to the remote mail machine via the remote ssh machine. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk __/\____/\_____/\____/|_____________________________________ flatline To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 26 3:40:21 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from freebsd.dk (fw-rl0.freebsd.dk [212.242.86.114]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 90DDA37B423; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 03:40:15 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sos@freebsd.dk) Received: (from sos@localhost) by freebsd.dk (8.11.3/8.11.3) id f3QAeC046264; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 12:40:12 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from sos) From: SЬren Schmidt Message-Id: <200104261040.f3QAeC046264@freebsd.dk> Subject: Re: dma-trouble In-Reply-To: <20010426112328.5adbf42f.bjarne@mekanix.dk> "from Bjarne Wichmann Petersen at Apr 26, 2001 11:23:28 am" To: Bjarne Wichmann Petersen Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 12:40:12 +0200 (CEST) Cc: mekanix@vip.cybercity.dk, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL88 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG It seems Bjarne Wichmann Petersen wrote: > On Thu, 26 Apr 2001 10:52:25 +0200 (CEST) > SЬren Schmidt wrote: > > > Are you using DMA on the DVD drive ? if not try to enable it but its > > not garantied to work unfortunately (depends on hardware support > > for ATAPI DMA working) > > $ sysctl hw.atamodes > hw.atamodes: dma,dma,dma,dma, > > Should be enabled. > > Copying off the drive and it reads with ~13 MB/s but playing a VOB-file > it's down to ~2 MB/s.

Wierd, there is no way xine can change the speed of the drive, the ATA driver has no hooks for that :) However, a fast drive could also be a problem in that it is forced to reseek often because it gets ahead of what you want to read, that will have a big impact on streaming speed... -SЬren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 26 4: 3:42 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from freddy.inty.net (freddy.inty.net [195.224.93.243]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C0ED637B422 for ; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 04:03:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Andrew@exs.co.uk) Received: from inty.exs.co.uk (host217-32-137-96.hg.mdip.bt.net [217.32.137.96]) by freddy.inty.net (8.11.2/8.11.2) with ESMTP id f3QB3Lo27307 for ; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 12:03:22 +0100 (BST) Received: from production ([192.168.100.1]) by inty.exs.co.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id MAA76606 for ; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 12:03:17 +0100 (BST) Received: from EXS-GW55-Domain-Message_Server by production with Novell_GroupWise; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 12:04:15 +0100 Message-Id: X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 5.5.4 Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 12:03:54 +0100 From: "Andrew Gilbert" To: Subject: Shareable Diary Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline X-skip-virus-check: yes X-virus-checked: 34887 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello.

Copy them into a folder, add that to your fontpath, and prepare it using ttmkfdir. or is it mkttfdir? If they're not prepared, the X Server says to run mkfontdir, but I don't know if that understands TrueType or not. (This worked for X 4.0.1 - it seems to be broken in 4.0.3, at least for me.)

The problem: if in the system is present a very old ISA ethernet card, with some ancient UMC chip (ne2000 compat)., the generic kernel (provided with the 4.3-cdrom) hangs shortly before booting (it says that he detected some Acorn ethernet card). I don't mind it too much, I just took the card out and everything worked perfect (btw, 4.3 is a VERY good release). Just wanted you to know.

The pkg_add -r command doesn't fare much better. It complains i'm not logged in and kicks me off the ftp server. I'm sure this is a simple fix.

They have about 50 machines plus printers and such running Win9x on their local network and a single IP with NAT to the internet. They have about 15 machines that need PPTP to connect to an external inventory/billing company. They have tried all sorts of other solutions. I am proposing that they get a block of 64 IPs and give each machine an IP. Install PPTP on the 15 that need it and give them all a block of addresses together at one end of the IP block. Give the rest of the machines IPs starting at the other end of the block. Install FreeBSD as the router with a firewall. - Lock down almost all access to the "normal" machines. - Block the vunerable ports (NetBIOS, etc) on the PPTP machines. - There would be no need for NAT. I am being told that it is hard to find a firewall that can pass 15 PPTP sessions at the same time, but I think they are confusing firewall&NAT with straight firewalling. 1) Will this work? 2) Am I missing something obvious?

XFree86 3.3.x doesn't support ttf fonts native. XFree86 4.0.x has to have the ttf font support enabled at build time. The print/freetype port is a truetype font rendering engine. If you're using XFree86 3.3.x, you can use the x11-servers/xtt-xfs port to add truetype font support to X vai freetype. > > Also, how do I install new fonts into FreeBSD? If you want FreeBSD fonts, they go in /usr/share/syscons/fonts and are loaded with vidfont. The format isn't well documented, but it's not a scalable font. If you want X fonts, then it's a bit more complicated, and depends on the font format. I'd check the XFree86 site for details. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Speaking as someone who spent a large chunk of the past 3 years applying for blocks like that for folks like yourself, I'd like to say that public IPs on a private network are Evil. Use private address space. This has the additonal advantage that if NAT fails ,the network is unreachable. I can't think of any reason you'd need public IPs there anyway. Apply for 4 public Ips, which will give you 1 usable for the front of the firewall and 1 for the router. ipnat should do the NAT, ipf / ipfw for security. Do you need PPTP from each client, or just a tunnel from the firewall to a remote site? -- Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.

As I've mentioned before, we will be giving full instructions on how to setup Linux compatible games under BSD and any other Unix-like operating system. We need contributors with experience on how to setup FreeBSD to run games via Linux compatibility mode with OpenGL or DirectX via Wine emulation. We need URLs, Howtos, FAQs, etc. We need your help to promote the gaming scene on FreeBSD. With Loki Games recent commitment to FreeBSD compatibility, it makes us believe our site really will have a place in the BSD/Linux Gaming community. If you have any good links, please mail them to me. If you are interested in writing an article for our site, either about playing games or serving games under FreeBSD (or even Linux or any other Unix-like OS), please do so and contact me. Unixgamers.com is going to be a community site and therefore we need community support to make this happen. Thanks.

I have a PC in the boot of my car running Linux (yuck!!!!) to play mp3s. I would love to use FreeBSD instead of Linux for many reasons. The only thing stopping me using FreeBSD is the lack of a driver in the style implemented for Linux (provides a /dev/lcd that u just throw data at). The reason I need this driver to be ported is so I can use Cajun (cajun.sourceforge.net) with little or no modifications on FreeBSD. If I knew C, i would port the driver myself, and If i knew perl, I would mod cajun to use /usr/share/examples/ppi/ppilcd.c's stuff. The linux driver is available at: http://www4.infi.net/~cpinkham/cajun/code/lcd-0.2c.tar.gz If you want to see some photos and a bit of a description of my mp3 player, goto http://members.nbci.com/mp3zeus/ BTW, please email me directly, as I am not subscribed to the mailing list.

Message-ID: X-Originating-IP: 38.187.13.102 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have skimmed my current messages, and searched the archives, so if I have missed the answer to this already, I apologize in advance. I have a subscription for FreeBSD, and would normally wait for the arrival of the CDs. With the recent changes, the subscriptions seem to be taking longer to ship out (or maybe my perception is skewed due to increased anticipation of releases). Since 4.3 won't be shipped for another 4 weeks or more, I thought I would try to download the ISO image. I could die of boredom faster. I completely understand the servers are busy, but it seems really slow. I have a T1 connection here at the office, and my best attempt at downloading is occurring now, with 16 hours left. Prior attempts have been slower, or keep getting the connection closed. I am attempting to download from ftp.freebsd.org --> usw1.freebsd.org, usw3, and usw4. When I can finally connect, I run into the speed problem. So, my point, is there something I might be doing wrong? Is this usual within the few weeks following a release? Will there be any other servers with a mirrored copy soon, maybe even now, that may not have as much traffic that someone could point me to? Thank you in advance for your help and guidance.

Every time a new version is released, people hammer ftp.FreeBSD.org (no matter where it's pointing) and everyone complains about it being slow. This is why we have mirror sites and have them listed in the handbook. Not all of them update as often as others, and not all carry the ISOs due to space restrictions, but you should be able to find it on at least a few of them. - jim -- - jim mock - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 26 11:38:57 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ns1.coastsight.com (ns1.coastsight.com [208.46.230.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 288B837B424 for ; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 11:38:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from maillist@coastsight.com) Received: from ns1.coastsight.com ([208.46.230.17]) by ns1.coastsight.com with esmtp (Exim 2.05 #1) id 14sqf2-0009CK-00; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 11:38:40 -0700 Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 11:38:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Rick Duvall To: Bob Greene Cc: jms039149@mindspring.com, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: First time ISO - 4.3 - Performance?

Pentium III 700MHz, 192 MB RAM, 13.3" active matrix 1024x768 LCD, built in Ethernet LAN, modem, and sound. Really nice machine; I really like it. This machine uses the Intel 815EM integrated mobile chipset. And, like I mentioned before, it contains a built in 10/100 Ethernet NIC. It would be nice to be able to get the built in 10/100 Ethernet to work under FreeBSD. It claims to be "82557 compatible", and the Windows drivers identify it as a "Intel Pro/100 VE" adapter. According to the Intel datasheets, it is a "82562ET/82562EM Platform LAN Connect Solution". Actually, it seems that FreeBSD "almost" works with it. The fxp device driver seems to detect it, and FreeBSD puts up a valiant effort to get it configured and up and running, but this effort ultimately fails. fxp0: irq 9 at device 8.0 on pci1 fxp0: could not map memory device_probe_and_attach: fxp0 attach returned 6 Is there On a side note, is there any hope of getting XFree86-4 going on this graphics chip (Intel 815EM)? Last I heard, you needed some special gyrations to get the AGP going, and the only supported platform for that was under Linux, using a kernel module; has this changed with the latest XFree86-4 release?

I have a machine setup as a webserver/email server. I am using 4.2-RELEASE on the below described machine. When I attempt to execute a PERL program, there is a long delay for the compiler; it takes 25-30 seconds to print a simple 'Hello World" string. Once the compiling seems done, the scripts actually run okay, but as most of these scripts are for CGI apps, it really isn't going to do. The machine should be MORE than fast enough to handle these little scripts. The uptime command produces the following: 3:50PM up 14 days, 38 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Stating that the load isn't very high at all. If I watch things with the systat command, PERL spikes right up to start a script takes like 98% of the resources (same is true when I use top to watch what's going on), then settles to what would be 'normal' once the app is compiled. While running an app written in PERL, the speed seems fine. I've been trying to compile a new kernel now for about an hour, and it seems that compiling C takes a long time too. I have compiled the new kernel with maxusers set to 256, and the CPU type set to i686, I don't know if it will help or not. The system specs are as follows: 950mhz AMD Athlon CPU (slot not Socket) 128megs PC133 RAM (I know, clocks to 100 in this system) Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 PCI Promise ATA100 PCI Controller Maxtor 7200RPM 60Gig ATA100 Disk, (4Gig root, 400meg swap, 55Gig /mail) System also mounts all of the document storage (where the scripts are located) over NFS, (/server). I have tested running scripts from local filesystems to prove that NFS isn't the bottleneck. If anyone has any ideas as to why the system seems to be doing so poorly, please let me know. I had origionally installed the system with a snapshot of the 4.2-STABLE branch, then most recently (about 15days ago or so), went to 4.2-RELEASE because of the speed problems. The switch in releases made no change to the problem; I am hoping the new kernel will fix things, but figured I'd ask around anyhow.

It's a bad idea. That's what we have subdisks. Try this: drive a device /dev/da0e drive b device /dev/da1e volume var plex org striped 273k sd length 5g drive a sd length 5g drive b plex org striped 273k sd length 5g drive b sd length 5g drive a volume usr plex org striped 273k sd length 10g drive a sd length 10g drive b plex org striped 273k sd length 10g drive b sd length 10g drive a Note that the subdisks on the second plex are the other way round; otherwise the failure of a drive would cause you to lose half the volume, which is obviously not what you want. > What size var and usr will this give me 5g and 10g respectively!

Other things you might look for are, say, "port aggregation" or "bandwidth aggregation". Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to talk to your reseller or to Intel support. Be aware though that there are two models (that I know of) for doing this--one just cycles through the interfaces sending one packet on each in turn (such as ng_one2many does); the other performs an XOR of the last n bits of the source and destination MAC addresses to select the interface the packet should travel through (this is the one most Cisco equipment supports). Sun support either. Cisco generally support only the second, though the switches they acquired from Kalpana only support the first (so yes, you can have two Cisco switches that can't EtherChannel). The last time I looked FreeBSD could only support the first (through ng_one2many).

I run FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE on all the BSD machines that we have and I am always a happy man until an issue comes up from the Linux side. I am trying to move a 2GB file from a Redhat Linux to FreeBSD. I don't want to use NFS!! I just wanna do FTP or something but since Linux has got scp, I decided to use it. scp between Linux and Linux is okay, good speeds, until I try=20 scp filename user@host:newfilename Then issues get worse. Generally I can transfer the 4.3-ISO image from my workstation (also FreeBSD 4.3) to any of our BSD servers at considerably less time, minutes to be precise.That would be by FTP. Does someone with experience in the 2 worlds know any reason why an scp of a 20MB file between the Linux box and the FreeBSD server wants to take hours???? The two machines are on same LAN segment, connected via 100Mbps switch, and they both have 100Mbps capable cards.

It requires some work in named, sendmail.cf, and so forth to the services bound to the correct IP address (you don't want to bind services to your NAT address). The .67 address in my case is only used for NAT traffic. The 4000-65535 junk is only really necessary for programs which use UDP (like DNS) and expect replies via UDP. I don't run any internal TCP or UDP services on higher numbered ports but I like having the flexibility. With some care and hardwiring of UDP ports for the services that need them, you can rip out the 4000-65535 stuff entirely. I use it because it's reasonably secure and a 'file and forget' type of setup. If you are using NAT, your internal network should be in the 10.x.x.x space, and your external network should of course be in your internet-visible space. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 26 16:30:30 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from summersault.com (nollie.summersault.com [208.196.32.199]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 0FDD137B423 for ; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 16:30:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from chris@summersault.com) Received: (qmail 56468 invoked by uid 1001); 26 Apr 2001 23:30:23 -0000 Received: from localhost (sendmail-bs@127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 26 Apr 2001 23:30:23 -0000 Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 18:30:23 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Hardie To: Subject: Confusion about router/firewall traffic from router itself Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings. I feel like the answer to this question is embedded in all of the related mailing list discussions and man pages, but I just can't seem to put the pieces together. We have a FreeBSD 4.2 box acting as a router and firewall (ipfw) for our internal network. We have a range of (real) IP addresses that we use for all of the machines on our network, as most all of them require direct addressing from the outside world. The router has two NICs, one going to the ISP (xl1) and one going to the internal network (xl0): /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_xl1="inet 192.168.21.9 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_xl0="inet 208.196.32.193 netmask 255.255.255.192" defaultrouter="192.168.21.1" gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" All of our internal machines point to 208.196.32.193 as their gateway. I believe that 192.168.21.9 is the (RFC1918) IP address of the interface on our ISP's router that our connection goes to. We're not running natd. So, things work fine. I can write firewall rules that work, all of the internal hosts can reach the outside world and vice versa. What doesn't work is traffic originating from the firewall box itself into the outside world. My understanding is that this is happening because it's standard for routers to deny traffic coming from 192.168.0.0/16 (in this case) and going to the outside world. As a result, ping.yahoo.com returns "permission denied." If I alter the source address (using ping -S) to be the real IP of the firewall box, then this kind of traffic can get through. So the question is, how do I configure things so that other kinds of traffic on the firewall box (like DNS queries, NTP queries, etc) can get to the outside world, even though they're coming from a source address of 192.168.1.29? Is this a matter of different firewall rules that permit traffic with that source address (but still prevent RFC1918 spoofing), or is it a matter of finding some way to make the traffic come from the real IP address? Or am I not understanding some basic concepts here? Any help is much appreciated.

Gee, I think you're swap is a bit small. I've got 256MB and roughly a gig fo swap. Then again, I used to have a penchant for running memory hungry things like recompiling common LISP, so I set it to 4x almost out of habit.

Exactly where is that? I use the following line in /etc/fstab to set up my mfs: /dev/da1s1b /tmp mfs rw,nosuid,-s=262144 0 0 BTW, you probably don't want to set up things so that /tmp can eat up all your swap.

Run natd on the external interface so it maps 192.168.21.9 to some registered address (you could even use one from your 208.196.32.193/26 range if you're careful--but I'd probably avoid the one assigned to your internal interface). 2. Configure the various services to use the internal interface as the source address. Most services can do this, but you basically need to do it for each service you care about which could be reasonably time-consuming and error-prone.

It could be that your router (the one hooked to the upstream provider) has the entire class c routed to it's ethernet interface, in which you can only put nodes on it. If you set up that router to do private IP on a crossover cable to your freebsd box (multihomed freebsd), then on do gateway_enable in /etc/rc.conf, and from the other router hooked to your ISP you set a static route to the private ip address of your freebsd box. Then, on the other Freebsd nic, set an IP address and netmask for the NIC, then that will work. Have I thoroughly confused you yet? If your freebsd box is hooked directly to your ISP, then you just need to set your IP address and netmask for your NIC on the ethernet network. 255.255.255.0 will be your netmask.

What is required in setting up nodes? I do have priv. exec mode access to the routers, both at the ISP and here in the office, should something need modification. Do you remember how you first learned how to do this, and where you got the info from? I am really interested in picking this up with a full understanding of what is going on, and not just the 'scape-goat 'give me the commands' approach so your input is very much appreciated.

One of the best Ethernet cards I know is the Intel EtherExpress. In the Linux world, however, it has a very poor reputation. The real culprit appears to be the Linux driver.

Remember that SCP is encrypting everything it transfers. If both ends support blowfish, you will only take a 20% speed hit. If it has to fallback to 3DES (which all implelemtations are required to support), you take a 55% speed hit. Also depending on your configuration, you might be doing gzip compression as well. What's the CPU load on each system during the scp, and what are the CPU speeds of each? -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 26 18:32:51 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from berlinr.sprint.ca (berlinr.pccon.net [209.5.194.99]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5E74637B424 for ; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 18:32:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from vlad@cardsup.com) Received: from dessy ([209.148.234.35]) by berlinr.sprint.ca (InterMail vM.5.01.01.04 201-252-108-20000901) with SMTP id <20010427014120.FWTN5507.berlinr.sprint.ca@dessy> for ; Thu, 26 Apr 2001 21:41:20 -0400 Message-ID: <015b01c0ceb9$4bf394a0$03646464@dessy> From: "Vlad Kolarov" To: Subject: cartoons for freebsd.org ?

Going from the nv driver in XFree86 4.0.2 to the nvidia driver and GL driver for Linux was like night and day. It seems nVidia has no interest in anything but Windows and Linux, though it's possible enough *BSD using nVidia users asking would change their mind. It's a big holdup for me running FreeBSD right now. I just run Linux because I have a nice system set up, but right now I can't even play with FreeBSD since I want to run Blender and the like under it. Anyone know of a hardware-accelerated nVidia driver working under FreeBSD? -- shannon@widomaker.com _________________________________________________ ______________________/ armchairrocketscientistgraffitiexenstentialist "And in billows of might swell the Saxons before her,-- Unite, oh unite!

Is your ISP staticlly routing them to your link side IP or is your router peering with them using some sort of routing protocol, like BGP or EIGRP?

You have 2 options: 1) Static route them with a route in the Cisco: ip route xxx.yyy.zzz.0 255.255.255.0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is IP of your BSD machine. 2) Announce the route via a routing daemon (zebra or gated) using RIP or OSPF to your router.

One point to consider is what is your Ethernet address subnet (the segement connecting your BSD machine and your router)? > > I have searched for info regarding this, but all I have found is the > man page of routed, and several unhelpful mailing list posts.

IIRC, it had security problems in the past and isn't as full featured as gated or zebra. Nick Rogness - Keep on Routing in a Free World... "FreeBSD: The Power to Serve!"

I am torn between Red Hat Linux and FreeBSD. My problem is that I haven't seen a whole lot of web control panel to do web hosting on the net. Everything I've seen is made for Linux and not just that for Red Hat Linux. I would rather use BSD. I'm not a programmer so I can't just write my own. Anyone want's to do it for me?? :) I need a control panel that my customers can use to manage their sites. Also it has to have a resellers system so people can resell my service and it has to automate DNS setup and e-mail etc. Does anyone know of any programs out there that I can purchase or get to use so that I can use BSD? That's the only thing I need to make up my mind. I will appreciate your quick responses. I'm not subscribe to the list at the moment so please CC me so I can see your responses. I appreciate it. I REALLY WILL LIKE TO USE FreeBSD and not Red Hat. The control panel that I'm looking at at the moment is from Ensims. I will also be using Webmin but I need something that will provide both admin tools for me and for my clients. It also has to have a template to create plans.

Even if the IP is not getting filtered (not-likely) going to the destination, the destination machine does not know how to get back to the 192.168 network because it is not being carried in any backbone BGP tables. > So the question is, how do I configure things so that other kinds of > traffic on the firewall box (like DNS queries, NTP queries, etc) can get > to the outside world, even though they're coming from a source address of > 192.168.1.29? > > Is this a matter of different firewall rules that permit traffic with that > source address (but still prevent RFC1918 spoofing), or is it a matter of > finding some way to make the traffic come from the real IP address? Or am > I not understanding some basic concepts here? Run natd with an alias address of 208.196.32.193. Be careful of this as it may break your existing 192.168 stuff from your ISP. So an ipfw ruleset like the following should work alright: # Allow packets from your ISP to your machine without nat ipfw allow ip from 192.168.21.0/24 to 192.168.21.9 in via xl1 # Allow packets from your machine to your ISP without nat ipfw allow ip from 192.168.21.9 to 192.168.21.0/24 out via xl1 # Nat just this machine to the rest of the world ipfw divert natd ip from 192.168.21.9 to any out via xl1 ipfw divert natd ip from any to 208.196.32.193 in via xl1 *Note* I left out the add and number of the above ruleset to keep the lines so they wouldn't wrap, but the sequence is VERY important and must go into your firewall in the above listed order or things worn't work. Then run natd like so: /sbin/natd -a 208.196.32.193 You can also change things around a bit and run private ranges on your internal network and run natd for them as well. Like I said earlier, it is not a good idea to be running public IP's on your internal net unless you absoultely have to...but it is up to you...I'm sure you probably have some good reasons why.

Back in the days when people weren't very good at hiding hostnames in email they used to use wildcard MX records. They were generally considered a necessary evil, but people who had the skill were advised to hide the hostnames in email instead and abolish the wildcard MX. The reason I mention this is that the fundamental thing is the same-- you're trying to solve a problem that shouldn't exist. The whole point of DNS is to tell you the address for valid servers. If you return an address for any hostname in your domain, then people who have mis-typed a hostname will then have to wait for their data (HTTP, SMTP, telnet, whatever) connection to time out, rather than coming back immediately and telling them the hostname is wrong. Mind you, I can see some applications for this, but the majority of the advantages are spurious at best. And since the only place you should be advertising an RFC 1918 address like 192.168.1.1 is on your internal network, all you're going to do is annoy your users.

That's an interesting idea, but I'd submit that if you've followed convention and named your Web site "www.yourdomain.com", then the only thing you're saving them from is mistyping "www", because if they mistype "yourdomain.com" they're not going to get your DNS server anyway. If you haven't followed convention then you're making life difficult for other people anyway, and making "all roads lead to Rome" would seem a contradiction. If you had a good reason for not naming your Web server "www" but want people to find it as "www", then you can put in a separate A record or CNAME record that leads them in the right direction.

I remember about 18 months ago, a customer here who has a domain with a dash in it rang us up asking why people were complaining that their website was going to a porn site. After I got a copy of one of the complaints, I discovered the person was putting a . instead of a - in their domain name and it went to a domain that has the entire domain mapped the above way. The domain is poro.com and our customers address was like www.foobar-poro.com to which the people were putting in www.foobar.poro.com and it forwarded to the porn site. I dont know what server software they are running, but poro.com seems to be doing it.

I'm interested to know what a "typical" setup might be that would eliminate the need for my earlier questions. It seems that most folks would have similar starting points: an upstream ISP with a router that you plug into, a firewall that needs to be the entry point for all network traffic, and a need to access network services from inside the network. What would one do rather than plug the link into the router/firewall? We might be slightly exceptional in that we do web hosting and co-location, and therefore have some "non-standard" needs in terms of direct addressing for internal hosts.

What I'm saying is that if you're naming your Web server something other than "www.yourdomain.com" then you're doing a pretty good job of saying "I don't want people to come to my server unless I've told them its name", so to then set up wildcard records in DNS that say "I've got no idea what you typed, but try this address" would seem to achieve exactly the opposite. As you say, the most common typos would be things like "ww" or "wwww". Most people will realise pretty quickly what they've done wrong (since they're probably used to doing it). But if you're really concerned about it you can throw in a couple of extra DNS entries to catch the most common mistakes. jfortin@akalink.com said: > Right but that has nothing to do with dns wildcarding. That's been my point all along--that there's very little use for DNS wildcarding. Just because he asked about DNS wildcarding doesn't mean that's a good solution for what he wants to do. As it happens (and for the reasons I originally outlined) I consider DNS wildcarding to be a pretty bad solution for almost any problem. However, having a clearer understanding of what Chris is doing I can see why he wants the convenience of DNS wildcarding. Personally, I'd still take the higher-maintenance path.

Well, in a way it does now. With the exception of Promise's new RAID 5 controllers (which suck, BTW), Promise RAID controllers like the FastTrak are all just software RAID. You can use VINUM, a FreeBSD software RAID tool, to accomplish the exact same thing without the need for special controllers (normal Promise ones work fine). If you absolutely must use those controllers though, you can probably flash them with the FlashROM from the normal Promise IDE controllers and use them with Vinum. Note that Promise's RAID, being software, has no speed advantage over FreeBSD's software RAID... In fact I am willing to bet that it is measurable slower knowing the quality of code in FreeBSD. Promises "hardware RAID" solution, at least in RAID 5 (IMO the most useful RAID level) is usually slower than a single hard disk, thus the only advantages are fault tolerance and a bigger partition. There is another company that makes IDE RAID5 controllers that do the RAID processing in hardware (thus freeing up the CPU from doing the same) that not only don't suck--they also support Linux. I am unsure if they work in FreeBSD though. Hope this helps.

What would one do rather than plug the link into the > router/firewall? The part that caught me was the fact that you are peering with your ISP with private IP's. Typically, They interconnect with you at 1 point with 1 public IP (normally a T1 or something) and you request additional public space from them or ARIN. Things get difficult when trying to multi-home your network with other ISP's and your carrying Private IP space in your routing tables. May I ask who is your ISP?

When you do this it will tell you the background process number, usually starting with 1. You can then type "fg (number)" to bring it back or just "fg" if you only have one background process. This probably doesn't solve your problem, but it is another way to run a process in the background.

I don't see anything improper with Apple hardware. Apple's hardware is generally very high quality, stable, reliable, hassle free stuff... just because it's a closed platform doesn't mean it's not "good." Au contraire, IBM PC-compatible hardware (the whole x86 platform) is largely an endeavour in allowing end-users to hook up crap hardware together, which is what Windows is a good OS to use for that sort of thing... it loves to run crap (viz., cheap) hardware. Which is why I use FreeBSD.. FreeBSD excels with *good* hardware on the x86 platform (and on Alpha, I suppose, but I have no experience there.) -- it croaks as far as supporting every $10 USB device or whatnot.

Don't try to get out to port 110. The traffic can be routed down the SSH connection itself (any port you like) so when I connect to localhost port the pacets get routed down the tunnel and *then* get forwarded to port 110 on the server. As far as the server is concerned, it just recieved a connection from localhost port (whatever that end of the tunnel uses). We used to use this kind of trick to read mail on the internal LAN mailserver from home. And that was sneaking past a CISCO PIX. All you needed was someone inside the LAN prepared to wire up a tunnel from their box out to an arbitrary port on an external host.

The firewall is > disallowing connections to port 110. Eh? This doesn't sound like a description of what SSH port forwarding does at all. If there's a firewall between you and the remote machine that allows an ssh connection to the remote machine, AND the remote sshd is configured to allow port forwarding, AND the remote machine can make a connection to the port on the mail machine, then you can forward connections to an arbitrary port on localhost to the remote mail machine via the remote ssh machine. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk __/\____/\_____/\____/|_____________________________________ flatline To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 27 1:42:49 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp014.mail.yahoo.com (smtp014.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.173.58]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 0E51E37B424 for ; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 01:42:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from educatee2001@yahoo.com) Received: from co3018900-a.belrs1.nsw.optushome.com.au (HELO co3018900a) (203.164.78.30) by smtp.mail.vip.sc5.yahoo.com with SMTP; 27 Apr 2001 08:42:45 -0000 X-Apparently-From: Message-ID: <000b01c0cef6$3b4afa20$0100a8c0@co3018900a> From: "Educatee" To: "FreeBSD Newbies" , "FreeBSD questions" Subject: Any mail server software that could run on FreeBSD?

Alas I dont have much time as I have to get back to uni but I was after peoples recommendations. I'm staying at the Best Western Hotel in San Jose and I don't really know whats close by. Is Walnut Creek close by public transport? Is WindRiver worth a look? Anywhere else? Are thier public viewings of Jordan? If I got to WC can I buy a tshirt without paying postage (assuming the AU dollar is still accepted by then :( )? Anyone else going to WWDC?

The very small gain in performance over using PC133 memory with a 133 MHz FSB is not worth the extra cost for DDR memory. Until DDR RAM gets to be as cheap as PC133 RAM I can only recommend staying away from DDR mobo's. -- Gary Jennejohn garyj@jennejohn.org gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 27 2: 4:37 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from starbug.ugh.net.au (starbug.ugh.net.au [203.31.238.37]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C05137B632 for ; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 02:04:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from andrew@ugh.net.au) Received: by starbug.ugh.net.au (Postfix, from userid 1000) id D54D5A826; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 19:04:29 +1000 (EST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by starbug.ugh.net.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id CF7635488; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 19:04:29 +1000 (EST) Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 19:04:29 +1000 (EST) From: To: Andrew Hesford Cc: Subject: Re: Duplicating Audio CDs In-Reply-To: <20010421112635.A4847@cec.wustl.edu> Message-ID: <20010427190212.H61915-100000@starbug.ugh.net.au> X-WonK: *wibble* MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sat, 21 Apr 2001, Andrew Hesford wrote: > Hey, another Andrew. :) We're everywhere you know :) > I can tell most of you tend toward CS, making large, complicated scripts > or other excessive solutions. :p It does seem that way at times :) > Make an image of the audio CD in quesiton with dd, then write it as a > data disc: > > burncd -f /dev/cdrom -s 8 data image.iso fixate Alas it doesn't :( It makes a fine coaster though :) Using audio instead of data works except it appears as one long track.

Everything works fine, except for some strange behaviour regarding my console colours, something I find very useful to have. I'm using 'bash', and the colors are displayed correctly in my prompt string. But 'ls' and 'vim' don't show any colors. Clearly, the console is color-capable, but why only for certain programs, and not others? In bare console more, without X, all colors are displayed perfectly. Anyone got any thoughts?

Apache doesn't know it's supposed to parse that file as a PHP script. Actually the file it sent me is a straight .htm file, so it's even more confused than that. I'd guess your MIME types are screwed, or you have some kind of override set up for that directory that tells apache everything in there is a PHP script. But even then I'd expect is to try to process it, then send the browser HTML. Weird. I don't use PHP so I'm not aware of any issues. Oddest thing I've seen since I screwed my httpd.conf and persuaded Apache that GIFs were CGi scripts, and it should try t oexecute thme whenever possible. > This leads me to conclude that the problem must be within httpd.conf > however the virtual host section of domains that work and ones that don't > looks identical.

We are trying to use the /dev/tun0 device to send and receive IPv4 packets. We are able to read the packets from the device, that are forwarded to it. But if we write an IP packet to the device, it doesn't appear on the network. We don't know exactly what the tun0 device do with the packet. Has somebody any idea why it doesn't work or any advice for the configuration of the device? What do the two IP addresses of the device exactly mean if it is configured to point-to-point?

I run FBSD 4.0-Release on a p166 with two ethernet nic's. I was wondering if it was possible to run some sort of ip-readressing, like ipmasquerades for linux. Or can I only run "true routing", thus having to use real world ip adresses on all of my computers? I have experimented with ipfw a bit but I have no way of testing the setup; too few computers i'm afraid. /Martin von Schantz _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I moved a diretoey under the the /usr tree with the gnome-mc by accident. I know i should'nt work as root but ... I can't switch into single-user mode, my system reboots normally and while working through the rc.conf it trys to start the apache and mysql-server. Here the system hang's up with the message libc.so... not found. This is because of the moved folder under /usr I tryed to boot with the fixit image from the floppy but I don't know the comands to mount the filesystem of my harddrive. There must be a possibility to boot and jump over the apache and mysql startup or? >well what dir did you remove. >and in the mean time try booting into >single user mode >when you get the count down for 10 at boot >hit the anykey and type >boot -s >you may be able to fix you problem easy >Michael Radzewitz wrote: > My systems hang during boot because i moved a directory accidently. > How can I go to shell during booting? > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 27 6: 4: 6 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from freeze.org (www.stelesys.com [208.177.187.226]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4796937B422 for ; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 06:04:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jim@freeze.org) Received: (from jim@localhost) by freeze.org (8.11.3/8.11.2) id f3RD42c49535; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 09:04:02 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from jim) X-Authentication-Warning: www.stelesys.com: Processed from queue /var/spool/alt_queue X-Authentication-Warning: www.stelesys.com: Processed by jim with -C /web/siteinfo/freeze/mail/sendmail.cf Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 09:04:02 -0400 (EDT) From: Jim Freeze X-X-Sender: To: Subject: Ho Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello: I am setting up user account for a few family and friends and am giving them a web page I can easily use Apache's name based virtual hosting to give each person their own web space, however, here's the rub. I would like for each person to have control over their own apache.conf file, and I would like each person to have their own apache process running so if they crash it, they won't mess up everyone else. Is there a way to have multiple processes of apache running, one for each user, or an alternate way to acheive the same thing as I described above. Also, I suppose I would need to do the same with mysql, but I think this this is more easily done by having mysql listen to another port.

I have seen a lot of suggestions, but not mine (works with pine 4.33): Open ~/.pinerc in an editor. Leave the "inbox-path" setting so it uses local mail at startup. Find the "incoming-folders" settings. Add something like: incoming-folders="Account Name" {mail.server.com/service=pop3/user=username}inbox, "Another Account" {mail.other.org/service=pop3/user=othername}inbox At startup pine will open the local mail folder (or whatever is in "inbox-path") and in the folder list you get INBOX and the folders defined as above. upon entering such a folder, pine will contact the server, ask for the password and login. This work well for me for three different pop3 mailservers. with kind regards, Rogier Steehouder -- ___ _ -O_\ Rogier Steehouder // | / mailto:r.j.steehouder@student.utwente.nl //\ / \ http://home.student.utwente.nl/r.j.steehouder/ // \ --------------------------------------------------------- "Bet you can't put it through the eye."

You'd have to have everyone running on a different port > 1024 though. So each person's web space would have to be accessed via http://host.mydomain.com:. This seems REALLY conterproductive though. I've yet to see a situation where everyone has to have a their own set of apache settings. Just compile everything you could possibly need into apache. That doesn't mean everyone has to use that feature. If you're worried about apache crashing, just add everyone to a group which has execute access in your apache/bin directory. I've seen apache run under some pretty incredible loads though, I don't quite see why you think it would crash so often.

I had yesterday the same problem configuring mine and wasn't auto-configuring with the other nic. I forced it, and it's working 100% (thanks for the help, people). But, I used linux until I discover FreeBSD (the years I've lost !) and the driver of linux has not this problem. Or linux forced the same thing as me in the driver, or Greg Lehey is right about the driver.

Yes, jail is exactly what I am looking for. However, it is not on my 3.4R system nor can I find it in the ports. Where do I get jial from?

Chris recommends sendmail. John does not and prefers qmail. (FWIW, I prefer postfix.) But the statement sendmail is recommended is at best misleading. YOU recommend sendmail and you phrase the response like it is a generally accepted statement when it is far from it. I'd look at qmail, postfix, and sendmail. I suspect you will decide to ditch sendmail after a week of trying to understand configuration files, but you may love them. :-) If you don't need anything special, the defaults do work. MC files make life much easier than in the old days, too. Qmail and postfix are MUCH easier to configure and Postfix was written with security in mind from the beginning by the guy at IBM who brought us tcpwrappers, so tends to do the right things from the start with little chance of buffer overflow problems and the like. But make your own choice because, other than personal opinions, none is "recommended". R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Weren't you ever instructed on the proper etiquette of email? I'll give you a hint, it's not significantly different from standard postal mail, and you don't write "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in postal mail without looking like a jackass. This is particularly important on mailing lists, becuase people often ignore or respond to mail based on the subject. Whenever possible, the subject should be a description of the problem at hand. After all, isn't that what "subject" means? -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx Fighting the good fight for email etiquette... since today.

Unless you really want to let them control things like number of spare servers, that seems to be going the long way about it. You can give them a lot of control by allowing overrides in .htaccess files.

Your router and the ISP's router should be able to talk with each other. That's step 1: The next step is to know what your IP block from your ISP is. Say your assigned block is a full class C of 65.149.2.0. Your netmask will be 255.255.255.0. Well, you have to give the ethernet interface of your router 1 IP address in that segment. By assigning the ethernet interface the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the router will assume that everything else on your LAN is a node, meaning that it's the only router. FreeBSD won't be set up as a router then. If it's a cisco (which I am assuming since you said priv exec to the router), and your router and the ISP's router are talking to each other, and your router can ping a machine in the outside world, and your ISP has already routed you your block of IP's, then set up your ethernet interface like this, substituting the example with your IP address. interface ethernet0 description make sure you do a no shutdown on this interface ip address 65.149.2.1 255.255.255.0 ! Then, on FreeBSD, do: ifconfig fxp0 inet 65.149.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add 0.0.0.0 65.149.2.1 If you are wanting FreeBSD to do the routing (2 NIC interfaces on your FreeBSD box), set Cisco to the following: interface ethernet0 description this is private IP between the cisco and freebsd ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.252 ! ip route 65.149.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.2 Then on FreeBSD: ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 ifconfig fxp1 inet 65.149.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 (make sure gateway_enable=yes is set in /etc/rc.conf) I think that the second example would be stupid, but in both examples, you would give your workstations an IP address of 65.149.2.whatever with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. The second example would route to the freebsd box, then to the router then out, the first example would just go to the router and never touch the freebsd box. I prefer to keep it simple myself. Why do you need to route it through the FreeBSD box? What is it you are trying to set up?

We do this all the time so that different developers don't clobber each other. You need to have each Apache set-up running on (listening to) a different port. You should probably also give everyone their own ServerRoot and DocumentRoot to prevent collisions. So all the config files could pretty much be the same except for Port 80xx # give each user a unique port ServerRoot /usr/local/www/ DocumentRoot /usr/local/www//htdocs Then to access their website they need to go to http://www.freeze.org:80xx/ Each user will also need a version of 'apachectl' or similar so they can control their own server.

I do not believe any single piece of software has had such a drastic rewrite of code. Sendmail itself has been quite secure for quite some time. The only issue that comes to mind in recent memory was an issue that was Linux specific. I think you will find that sendmail is more robust than any of it's counterparts as well as FAR more widely used world wide. I personally dislike qmail and postfix as well and the not brought up exim and I have valid reasons for my opinions.

To start, let me give you my config (This will be a FreeBSD ONLY system): FreeBSD 4.3-Release from ISO Image Tiger Tyan 100 (440BX Chipset) Dual P-III 450s 512 MB Ram ATI Rage 128 8mb Video Card Adaptec 29160 SCSI Controller Western Digital 9GB 10K RPM U2W LVD SCSI Hard Drive 3Com 3C905B Network Card Creative SoundBlaster Awe64 Sound Card 44X IDE CD-Rom (As Master on Primary IDE) Floppy disk Each time I've tried to install, everything goes flawlessly, no errors, no problems. I didn't change anything in the Kernel config, in fact, I've skipped it each time I've tried to install. The system gets done installing, and I tell it to reboot. System boots up to boot menu: F1 FreeBSD Default : F1 I then hit F1, and the system beeps. Infact, any keystroke other than ctrl-alt-delete just causes a beep in the system. I've reinstalled several times, thinking perhaps I did something wrong, but still just beeps. I've changed the keyboard as well, thinking perhaps it had gone bad, but it still beeps. I've looked through the archives for this list, and didn't notice anyone with a similar problem. I've also looked at the FreeBSD SMP Kernel page ( people.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html). From reading this, the SMP capable kernel should be already available in 4.3, but please tell me if I'm wrong. Thanks for any assistance you can lend with this problem!

This would often indicate a mismatch between the BIOS's idea of the disk geometry and FreeBSD's information. See if there are any BIOS options relating to the disk geometry, e.g. "LBA", "Large" etc. You could also try writing down the number of cylinders, heads and tracks reported by the BIOS, and specifying these manually on the FreeBSD installer's disk partition page.

Only if you know the reason the checksum mismatched. It's much safer to remove the distfile and re-fetch it; often vendors will make "minor" changes to their distfiles after releasing a given software version, which is what causes the distfile to change. You might have the old version, on the other hand you might have already downloaded the new version, in which case re-fetching won't help, and you should submit a PR or talk to the teTeX maintainer about updating the MD5 sum.

I'm using it for a mail spool under Postfix. I was wondering if anyone has experience with these on FreeBSD. In particular, is there any tuning I can do with FreeBSD to optimize the system even further. Is there a way (and should I even bother) to tell FreeBSD that it doesn't need to cache access to this disk since the disk is already "fast enough"? What would be good newfs parameters for such a beast? There are obviously no rotational delays, and the seek time is effectively zero to access any sector on the "disk". -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.

They need to be able to set things like DirectoryIndex AddType without affecting other users setups. Also, they need to be able to set the php include directory for mod_php. I suppose these could be set inside each . I'm not sure how .htaccess will help here. Can you clarify.

The sucker actually loads the kernel now! Whoo hoo! Now, I need some help grasping the concept of how loader works with a boot CD and a 2.88M floppy image. I don't know whether the root filesystem comes from a .gz file in boot.flp, or if the cd9660 filesystem on the CD can be mounted as root. Any input on this is greatly appreciated.

Sadly, the ideas were not the solutions for my problems, but they did start me thinking. The problem was exactly as Mr. Dowse put it, that the bootloader couldn't read the boot sector on the hard drive. The problem though, is that this drive is a SCSI drive, and there is nowhere I could find to get the actual drive geometry to feed into FreeBSD, since the geometry for the drive is given to the system from the SCSI Bios on the card (At least, that is my understanding of it). So, on to the solution.. I was looking at the Slice-Creation screen of the installer, and decided to read the help section (rtfm), and noticed a hidden feature 'F' that makes the slice the entire drive, instead of leaving the pad at the beginning and end for future OSes and boot loaded. Since this system is dedicated to FreeBSD, and I have no intention of running any other OS, I decided to give this a shot. And it worked! Now, to reinstall and actually get all the packages/ports that I need. Thanks again to Ian Dowse and Sang-Kil (Sam) Suh for their assistance in making me actually pull my head out of my butt and read the instructions!

It's how the ISP's I've dealt with did things. You can allow a lot of server settings to be overridden in the .htaccess file for the directory the file is in. I'm pretty sure directoryindex and AddType are among them, but you'll need to check the Apache documentation for details. PHP I'm not familiar with, but some modules allow overriding their settings in .htaccess files as well. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Every install of FreeBSD since I > started using it around 2.1.5 (I think?) has had a default install of > sendmail. It's called inertia, not recommendation. Until fairly recently sendmail with THE MTA for Unix systems. There were no real alternatives and, with no alternatives, sendmail was made a part of the FreeBSD base distribution. Since then, at least two MTAs of reasonable design for general use have been developed. There is significant opinion that sendmail is NOT the best, but switching the default mailer is not a trivial thing. It will be very tricky to do this and not break lots of installed systems. NetBSD has recently changed their default mailer to postfix and there has been discussion of the same for FreeBSD, but I doubt it will happen because the FreeBSD core team rightly places great importance on not breaking things for the installed user base and I don't think that there is any tool to translate a .cf file (or even a .mc file) into a postfix configuration. This is not relevant to the issue of a new user trying to decide what tool to use. And it certainly should not be taken as any sort of recommendation from either the FreeBSD community or the core team (of which I am not a member nor can I speak for). > > I'd look at qmail, postfix, and sendmail.

I agree with you that there are some significant limitation to Qmail, but if these limits are not relevant to your use, qmail might be a perfectly good choice. My experience with it is very limited, so I don't know. > > Qmail and postfix are MUCH easier to configure and Postfix was written > > with security in mind from the beginning by the guy at IBM who brought > > us tcpwrappers, so tends to do the right things from the start with > > little chance of buffer overflow problems and the like. > > Configuration ease is a matter of opinion. Agreed, though I suspect that, of those who have used both postfix and sendmail, few would call sendmail configuration easier including some who use sendmail. (FWIW, I prefer postfix, but still use sendmail on many systems because it works and "it ain't broke".) > > But make your own choice because, other than personal opinions, none > > is "recommended". > > I do not believe any single piece of software has had such a drastic > rewrite of code.

It is certainly the most widely used, but popularity is not a measure of quality. Vox populi is a terribly common argument that is almost always invalid. Even in US presidential elections. :-) Since popularity is important, I guess you also recommend switching to Windows? :-) > I personally dislike qmail and postfix as well and the not brought up > exim and I have valid reasons for my opinions. Long live sendmail! Feel free to use sendmail and to recommend it. It's good software and has been beaten on far more than any other. I will continue to use postfix for new installations until/unless I am convinced that there is a better choice and will continue to recommend it to others. Just don't imply any consensus on it being the best choice unless you are privy to some information I am not. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Hmmm, If you're too worried about your actual domain name, why not sign up at one of the free Dynamic DNS services? For instance, I use DynDns.Org at home on my FreeBSD box. The have about six domains you can select from. Works perfect for me! My DSL connection gives me a new IP about every 23 hours and by running a small client program, it'll go and update my info automatically. -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 27 10:55:24 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from seatle.vredesdorp.nl (seatle.demon.nl [195.173.228.191]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3BF1F37B422 for ; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 10:55:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rotan@cs.pdx.edu) Received: (from rotan@localhost) by seatle.vredesdorp.nl (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f3RHtmT01311 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 19:55:48 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from rotan@cs.pdx.edu) X-Authentication-Warning: seatle.vredesdorp.nl: rotan set sender to rotan@cs.pdx.edu using -f Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 19:55:44 +0200 From: "Robert T.G.

DirectoryIndex and AddType can definitely be used from .htaccess files. Almost anything that goes in the config file can be controlled from .htaccess. I've never used PHP (I use mod_perl and Mason), but since PHP is an Apache Foundation project I would be surprised if its directives didn't work from .htaccess also. At worst I bet they work from the VirtualHosts sections. It doesn't seem like you'd need to be changing the include directory very often.

I notice that my wireless customers right now can grab any IP address on my network that they want, even cause duplicate IP address errors for other customers. This is bad... I want to fix that. Do I have to break my subnet up in to /30's and give each customer one of them? That would sure waste Ip addresses! Thanks...

I would like to change the setup so that the backup only backs up level zero every friday, and does incremental backups of only the changed/altered files in the interim. What I'm having difficulty understanding, is which level number I should be using. for example: 0 first Friday, then 1 following Monday, then 1 every night until Thursday, and a new zero level on Friday.

I am doing a new install from FreeBSD 3.3 because I upgraded my hard disk and thought that I might as well upgrade the OS. (:->) After completing the installation I find that netscape 4.76 won't run any more; it gives a floating point error with no information as to why. This happens even if I use an earlier version (4.08) of netscape. It must be due to some library inconsistency. Do you have any idea where I should look. Should I add earlier versions of the .so. libs in /usr/lib? I have tried that by including all of the earlier versions that I could find from my FreeBSD3.3 disks (from the live filesystem) but this didn't work. Is there a way to check for a corrupted library? Short of reinstalling the OS, I am at my wits end. Please advise.

Thank you. My personal preference is Postfix. The author (Wieste Venema) is a strong believer in 'the principle of least surprise' so Postfix requires very little configuration out of the box. The configuation syntax is very easy to understand (something which certainly can't be said for sendmail) and well documented. The postfix-users mailing list is an invaluable resource and Wieste himself is very active on it. Postfix is in the ports tree and will easily install to replace sendmail. I can't recommend it enough. Sendmail, OTOH, is renowned for it's incredibly terse configurations syntax which is intimidating and hard to learn. Sendmail is undoubtedly very flexible and powerful but it takes a lot of brainache to configure. Obviously sendmail has an advantage here by being installed by default under FreeBSD. Unless you want something non-standard you might be better off sticking with sendmail. However if you're new to MTAs and you need an exotic configuration I don't recommend sendmail. My two cents. FWIW, the FreeBSD mailing list server runs Postfix...

The kernel is configured to use 686 cpu. The hardware isn't apparently faulty, the system isn't apparently under heavy load, there is next to nothing running on the machine, and no errors are outputted. Yet the system still takes forever to do anything. It took me >13hours to compile the new kernel on this thing. For a 950mhz CPU, with 128megs of RAM this machine should run a lot better than it is. I have re-installed the O/S a second time now to make sure it wasn't just something funny with the release I had been using (4.2-STABLE snapshot December-ish) to 4.2-RELEASE. I would consider going to 4.3-RELEASE, but am not sure if that will actually fix anything, as I cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong. It takes just about one minute to compile the following: #include int main() { printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; } Unfortunately much longer for the PERL-written CGI scripts I'm using, (including if I attempt to execute said scripts from the console; which rules out any problems with Apache's setup). If anyone has any ideas, related problems, suggestions, comments or otherwise could you please email me. I'm pulling hair out trying to figure this one out... it just doesn't make any sense!

I have a 486/DX2-66 PC and it doesn't support ISAPNP. When I try to install FreeBSD 4.3 on it the kernel stops and the last message I get is: isa0: on motherboard I got this problem also with FreeBSD 4.2 but after one or two tries it worked and I could start the installation process. With FreeBSD 4.3 this method doesn't work anymore. After a visit on IRC somebody (who also kickbanned me) told me to ask here.

If I understand you correctly: VirtualHosts combined with .htaccess will support multiple users each having their own DirectoryIndex, AddType and PHP include directory. Correct? This is very new to me. I always assumed that the apache.conf file was read once and not on each access. Well duh, I guess that is what .htaccess is for? Time to hit the books.

I get the same slowness wheather I run the PERL script from the local drive, (7200 RPM ATA100 60Gig Maxtor Disk), or from the NFS mounted partition. All machine on the network share this same NFS mount over a private network, and none of them have the same problem; so I am doubtful if it has anything to do with the NFS storage. All systems are using the same NIC, (with the exception of the NFS server, which uses a proprietory NIC built in to the DEC Digital motherboard), the Intel EtherExpress Pro 100/B using the fxp0 driver, (as indicated in my email under the dmesg output). I thought it might have been disk problems to, but seeing as how this is a brand new disk drive, which has successfully been re-partitioned and installed three times now with no errors, I am doubtful of that. Also, the local disk wouldn't have any effect on the NFS mounted files either would it? Along somewhat with your suggestion though, it seems to only take a long time to compile stuff; not as long to execute them. For example I have a large PERL script, >500 lines, which accesses the mail spools directly, as well and an SQL database (remotely stored, not local) to perform web-based email. It takes a really long time for the script to compile, but once it has, it executes quite rapidly. If I write a simple console based app which requires user intervention, then it too takes forever to compile, but executes quite rapidly thereafter (using PERL). I rally don't know where to go from here, I will try some benchmark utilities, but to be honest I know of very few? Any suggestions?

Yep, .htaccess files are read upon every request (which is the disadvantage, but in reality it's not that big of a deal unless you are getting bajillions of hits per second). Keep asking questions. Apache configuration is very daunting at first. I'm still learning stuff after a couple years at it. There are so many variations and permutations. And the default config file is so d*mn big, it's hard to wade through. Something that might help is to copy the default, and rip out most of the comments and commented out sections and things that seem optional. Then you have a file that is easy to look through and add to. It takes a few (many? ;) iterations to get stuff working, but in the long run I've always found it easier to have a "minimal" config file that I can easily scan. If I want the commentary I look back in the original config. BTW I highly recommend O'Reilly's "Apache: The Definitive Guide". It provides many, many examples. Also the "Apache Pocket Reference" is very handy if you do very much of this stuff.

I have followed all the instructions I can find for /etc/printcap lpfilter etc. I got rid of the staircase effect (which was fully expected) immediately and went to work on the form feed. When I send a print job, it will only print if I manually take the Oki off-line and use the form feed function on the printer. In review of the Oki web site, I found the escape sequence of 0C was equal to Form Feed. I placed this in the lpfilter as such: printf "\0D&0A" && fpr && printf "\0C" && exit 0 exit 2 and I get an error message about a command or some such. When I remove "\0C" this error goes away. (the 0D&0A are properly understood as CR & LF, I also got these esc sequences from the Oki web site) Does anybody know what the proper esc sequence is? Or have a suggestion? "\f" does not do the trick either for the form feed.

This is the distribution I installed from, and I can access it with ls, less, pkg_add. I put my other FBSD 4.2 removeable hard drive into my machine ( Thinkpad laptop ) and tried /stand/sysinstall -- no problems. I used the same distribution to install on this HD. I suspect my installation, rather than the CDROM distribution. What do you think? Thanks.

With the amount of sendmail users out there, I would be surprised if this didn't make new users or those who have never used postfix before shy away from NetBSD. I'm very much under the opinion that when you have the size of market share that sendmail does, there would be better help resources. I know for a fact that there is a ton of documentation on sendmail and of course the O'Reilly book. Last time I checked there were no such books on exim, postfix or qmail. Maybe that has changed, but having a book published by O'Reilly on a piece of software is usually a pretty good indication that it is a widely used piece of software. > This is not relevant to the issue of a new user trying to decide what > tool to use.

It certainly can not be taken as "Don't use this software" either.

(FWIW, I prefer postfix, but still use sendmail > on many systems because it works and "it ain't broke".) I'm not sure I would agree with you. Jordan is nice enough to setup a nicely configured sendmail with every default install. Editing two seperate files is not what I would call hard. One file you insert the hostname to which the server is supposed to route mail and the second you map the mail. I'm not sure it could get much easier. Downloading, untar'ing, configuring, compiling the source and then configuring the actual mailer would probably be a much more daunting task for a new user, as this person stated he is if my memory serves me correctly. > > > But make your own choice because, other than personal opinions, none > > > is "recommended". > > > > I do not believe any single piece of software has had such a drastic > > rewrite of code.

Even in US presidential elections. :-) When was the last time you used sendmail, or better yet, have you ever used it to the point where it did everything you wanted it to? I'm not sure how you can determine the quality of the software as anything less than the others. It's secure and far more robust than any of the other mailers. I suggest running it for a while. I don't think you would disagree with me after that time. Running several thousand virtual mailing on the others would be completely out of the question. > Since popularity is important, I guess you also recommend switching to > Windows? :-) Depends on the person. Windows has all the bells and whistles out of the box, much like sendmail on an install of FreeBSD. Asking my parents to download, install, etc FreeBSD would be an insane request. Windows is the right solution for them as well as I'm sure more than 95% of all PC users in America. > > I personally dislike qmail and postfix as well and the not brought up > > exim and I have valid reasons for my opinions.

I'm not sure you've made your point to me that postfix or any other mailer is the best solution and that sendmail isn't. It may not be for the faint of heart, but it is for high-volume servers and it is the easiest out of the box solution.

OK guys that are in the B-more/DC area i have set up a temporary list for those of you interested in being a part of a FreeBSD users group. To subscribe to the list send and email to subscribe@twopimped.org with "subscribe freebsd" in the subject. I am not responsible for the twopimped.org website i just run the domain for fun and a friend of a freind has her website stored on one of my webservers. Is there anyone on this list that belongs to a FreeBSD group? If so please email me with information about your group and whether or not i am even allowed to start a group here in the Baltimore/DC area. Any help/instruction/info would be appreciated.

The first mount is usually successful, but any successive mounts are just met with the following (type of) messages: Error mounting /mnt/dev/mlxd0s1g on /mnt/home2 : invalid argument Can anyone shed some light on this?

For the serial port, you can use whatever language you want to connect to it and talk to it. (Assuming you are referring to the Matrix Orbital LCDs mentioned on that page.)

Thanks] I'm looking for a tool similar to the Microsoft Windows "Briefcase" tool, that will allow me to keep files synchronized between my desktop and laptop computers. If you're not familiar with how MS Briefcase works, this is how: You drag copies of the files you are working on into a "Briefcase" folder, which you then take with you in some way (either on your laptop, or copy it onto removable media, etc.) Then when you get back to the office, you open up the briefcase and click "Synchronize" It then compares the date/time stamps (and possibly other attributes) of both copies of the file, and makes sure that *both* sources (your office computer *and* the Briefcase folder) have the most current files. Here's my situation: I have a laptop running FreeBSD, and my server (where I store all of my files) is also running FreeBSD. I *don't* keep a full copy of my home directory on my laptop. Instead, I only keep a subset of files that I am actually working on at the moment. What I would like to be able to do is, whenever I leave for the day, run a program and have both my laptop and desktop both synchronized so that they contain the most current files. Then, as I go out and about, I can work on them on my laptop at my leisure. When I get back home, I connect them up again, and run the same command, and again, have both sources synchronized with the latest data. My connections are not always over the highest-bandwidth method possible (yes, I use a modem) so the protocol should be as bandwidth-friendly as possible. Someone suggested I take a look at the "rsync" program. I looked at it, but it doesn't seem to me to be the ideal program for my needs. for one thing, the synchronization (from what I understand) is only one way. I.e. central server ---> remote backup copy, NOT the other way around. Also, it's a pretty large package, and is probably overkill for my needs as well. Does anyone have any idea of a program I could use that would suit my needs? I'm sure it can be done pretty easily, even using a small Perl script or something, but unfortunately I lack the programming knowledge to code that. Any and all help/advice/whatever is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- Donald Burr of Borg | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! WWW: http://www.borg-cube.com/ ICQ #16997506 | http://www.freebsd.org/ P.O.

It's acting as the gateway computer to the internet for my small home LAN. The ISP is rogers@home :(. I'm using ipfirewall and natd to provide the connection to the rest of the computers. The firewall is set to "open" at the moment (I'll set the rules when I have a little spare time), with the default rc.firewall configuration. Rogers uses DHCP, but my ip, etc. are (or seem to be) static. The gateway box has 2 NICs, one to the ouside, one to the LAN. The problem is that it keeps dropping the connection. This usually occurs every 6 - 20 hours or so. The strange thing is that the only way to get it back is to shut the computer ond the cable modem down, then restart. Then everything is back to normal until it happens again. Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

Qmail was also written from the ground up with security in mind, and Dan's credentials are pretty good, though he does tend to grate a lot of people the wrong way. If you upgrade your FBSD regularly and can run an out of the box sendmail configuration, you get the advantage of someone else's efforts at tracking bugs and incorporating features (I'd not call them features) such as ORBs. The closest thing to an official recommendation I've found is this line from the -questions mail: Received: by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix, from userid 538) I.e. - the FreeBSD mail servers are running postfix. Next time I have some spare time and a need to play with mail servers, I'm probably going to look into postfix. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

How about this: Load the kernel's arp cache with fixed entries per MAC linking the MAC to the IP (until a flush) then IPFW the flow. Unless they can impersonate the MAC address, they won't be able to use that IP. ----- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...

Just to verify - you installed apache from the ports tree, right? So your apache binary is a FreeBSD binary. In which case, it's not going to get the file translations that the linux ABI layer offers, so you won't find libc.so.6. If your apache binary is a linux binary, then you're having config problems in linux. You might try starting /compat/linux/bin/sh, and seeing if you can get things working from there. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

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. ===================================================================== Contents: 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 Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey 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, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. 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/FAQ/FAQ.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ.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. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. 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. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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? 7. 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. 8. 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.

Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-3.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at Page ii _______ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _________________ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration ____________________________________________ After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 ________ The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 ________ The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the following data: AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enbld): 0 ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enbld): 1 TB (Transfer Block): 0 RC (Read Continuous): 0 EER (Enable Early Recovery): 0 PER (Post Error): 0 DTE (Disable Transfer on Error): 0 DCR (Disable Correction): 0 Read Retry Count: 16 Correction Span: 41 Head Offset Count: 0 Data Strobe Offset Count: 0 Write Retry Count: 16 Recovery Time Limit: 0 The values for AWRE and ARRE should both be 1. If they aren't, as in this case, where AWRE is 0, change the data with the editor, save it, and exit. The camcontrol program will write the data back to the disk and enable the option. Page 3 The Complete FreeBSD Page 331 ________ The description of the config refers to the SCSI drive sd0. This is the old name; in FreeBSD version 3, SCSI drives are called da, so this reference should be da0. Thanks to Francisco Reyes for pointing out this problem. Page 362 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention, and to Francisco Reyes and Bill Fumerola for pointing out that it still wasn't fixed in the third edition. Page 409 ________ The information on setting the default routers specified the wrong end of the PPP links in some places. It should always be the ``far'' end of the link. Replace the second example on page 409, and the text following it, with this text: defaultrouter="139.130.136.129" # Set to default gateway (or NO). static_routes="" # Set to static route list (or leave empty). gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway. This is the normal way to set the default route on a point-to-point interface. In fact, for PPP you don't need to specify the default address: the PPP packages will set it for you when the link comes up. This makes it possible to Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition set default routes when you're forced to use dynamic IP addresses, where you don't know the address at this point. We'll see how PPP does this on page 446. In the first example on page 410, the sixth example on page 412 and the second example on page 413, replace the defaultrouter definition with: defaultrouter="139.130.237.65" # Set to default gateway (or NO). Thanks to Andreas Longwitz for pointing out this error. Getting errata for older editions of the book _____________________________________________ There have been a total of five different versions of ``The Complete FreeBSD''. The most accurate way to distinguish them is by the format date, which you'll find at the bottom of page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents) in all versions of the book. 1. The first was titled ``Installing and running FreeBSD'', and was formatted on 24 February 1996. No errata list exists for this book. 2. For the first edition (19 July 1996), get ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/er- rata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/errata-1. I am no longer updating this errata list. 3. The list for the second edition (16 December 1997) is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the second edition to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only Page 5 Getting errata for older editions of the book take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. 4. The revised second edition was formatted on 11 February 1999. As the name suggests, it's not a complete new edition: in fact, only three chapters are different: o The chapter ``Setting up X11'' has been brought up to date. o Appendix D (``Contents of the Ports Collection'') has been replaced by two appendixes, ``Errata and Addenda'' (the errata list up to date at the time) and ``FreeBSD 3.0'', which describes the differences between FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.x. There is no separate errata list for this book. Refer to the second edition errata list. 5. The current, third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. This is the correct list for this edition.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997.

If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at General changes _______________ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Location of the sample files ____________________________ On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM). The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it contains the files on the third (repository) CD-ROM as a single gzipped tar file /xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz. It contains the following files: drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/ drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/mutt/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 352 Oct 15 15:21 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 9394 Oct 15 15:22 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.muttrc drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 18281 Oct 16 16:52 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.fvwm2rc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 1392 Oct 17 12:54 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-desktop -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 296 Oct 17 12:35 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.xinitrc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 622 Oct 17 13:51 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-rcfiles -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1133 Oct 17 13:00 1997 cfbsd/scripts/Uutry -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1028 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/README drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 18 19:32 1997 cfbsd/docs/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 199111 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.txt Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 189333 Oct 16 14:28 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 188108 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 226439 Oct 16 14:27 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 788 Oct 16 15:01 1997 cfbsd/README -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 248 Oct 17 11:52 1997 cfbsd/errata To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt, and assuming you have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter: # cd /usr/share/doc # tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt See page 209 for more information on using tar. These files are an early version of what is described in the book. I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future. Thanks to Frank McCormick for drawing this to my attention. Chapter 8: Setting up X11 _________________________ For FreeBSD 2.2.7, this chapter has changed sufficiently to make it impractical to distribute errata. You can download the PostScript version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.ps, or the ASCII version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.txt. No HTML version is available. Page xxxiv __________ Before the discussion of the shell prompts in the middle of the page, add: In this book, I recommend the use of the Bourne shell or one of its descendents (sh, bash, pdksh, ksh or zsh). With the exception of sh, they are all in the Ports Collection. I personally use the bash shell. This is a personal preference, and a recommendation, but it's not the standard shell. The standard BSD shell is the C shell (csh), which has a fuller- featured descendent tcsh. In particular, the standard installation sets the root user up with a csh. See page 152 (in this errata) for details of how to change the shell. Page 3 General changes Page 11: Reading the handbook _____________________________ The CD-ROM now includes Netscape. Replace the last paragraph on the page and the example on the following page with: If you're running X, you can use a browser like netscape to read the handbook. If you don't have X running yet, use lynx. Both of these programs are included on the CD-ROM. To install them, enter: # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/netscape-communicator-4.5.tgz or # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/lynx-2.8.1.1.tgz The numbers after the name (4.5 and 2.8.1.1) may change after this book has been printed. Use ls to list the names if you can't find these particular versions. Note that lynx is not a complete substitute for netscape: since it is text- only, it is not capable of displaying the large majority of web pages correctly. It will suffice for reading most of the handbook, however. Thanks to Stuart Henderson and for drawing this to my attention. Page 12: Printing the handbook ______________________________ The instructions for formatting the handbook are obsolete. Replace the section starting Alternatively, you can print out the handbook with the following text: Alternatively, you can print out the handbook. You need to have the documentation sources (/usr/doc) installed on your system. You can find them on the second CD-ROM in the directory of the same name. To install them, first mount your CD-ROM (see page 175). Then enter: $ cd /cdrom/usr/doc/handbook $ mkdir -p /usr/doc/handbook you may need to be root for this operation $ cp -pr * /usr/doc/handbook You have a choice of formats for the output: o ascii will give you plain 7-bit ASCII output, suitable for reading on a character-mode terminal. Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition o html will give you HTML output, suitable for browsing with a web browser. o latex will give you LATEX format, suitable for further processing with TEX and LATEX. o ps will give you PostScript output, probably the best choice for printing. o roff will give you output in troff source. You can process this output with nroff or troff, but it's currently not very polished. LATEX output is a better choice if you want to process it further. Once you have decided your format, use make to create the document. For example, if you decide on PostScript format, you would enter: $ make FORMATS=ps This creates a file handbook.ps which you can then print to a PostScript printer or with the aid of ghostscript (see page 222). Thanks to Bob Beer for drawing this to my attention. Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation _____________________________________________ Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each distribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin distribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 ______________ In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 5 General changes Page 88: setting up for dumping _______________________________ The example mentions a variable savecore in /etc/rc.conf. This variable is no longer used--it's enough to set the variable dumpdev. Page 92 _______ At the end of the section How to install a package add the text: Alternatively, you can install packages from the /stand/sysinstall Final Configuration Menu. We saw this menu on page in figure 4-14 on page 71. When you start sysinstall from the command line, you get to this menu by selecting Index, and then selecting Configure. Page 93 _______ Before the heading Install ports from the first CD-ROM add: Install ports when installing the system ________________________________________ The file ports/ports.tgz on the first CD-ROM is a tar archive containing all the ports. You can install it with the base system if you select the Custom distribution and include the ports collection. If you didn't install them at the time, use the following method to install them all (about 40 MB). Make sure your CD-ROM is mounted (in this example on /cdrom), and enter: Page 96 _______ Replace the example at the top of the page with: Instead, do: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # for i in *; do > ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i > done Page 6 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition If you're using csh or tcsh, enter: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # foreach i (*) ? ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end Thanks to Christopher Raven and Francois Jacques for drawing this to my attention. Page 104 ________ The examples at the bottom of the page and the top of the next page specify the wrong directory (/usr). It should be /usr/X11R6. Replace the examples with: For a full install, choose /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz. If you are using sh, enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # for i in /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz; do # tar xzf $i # done If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % foreach i (/cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz) % tar xzf $i % end For a minimal installation, first choose a server archive corresponding to your VGA board. If table 8-2 on page 103 doesn't give you enough information, check the server man pages, starting on page 1545, which list the VGA chip sets supported by each server. For example, if you have an ET4000 based board you will use the XF86_SVGA server. In this case you would enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here # for i in bin fnts lib xicf; do # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331$i.tgz # done Page 7 Install ports when installing the system If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here % foreach i (bin fnts lib xicf) % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/$i % end Thanks to Manuel Enrique Garcia Cuesta for pointing out this one. Page 128 ________ Replace the complete text below the example with the following: These values are defaults, and many are either incorrect for FreeBSD (for example the device name /dev/com1) or do not apply at all (for example Xqueue). If you are configuring manually, select one Protocol and one Device entry from the following selection. If you must use a two-button mouse, uncomment the keyword Emulate3Buttons--in this mode, pressing both mouse buttons simultane- ously within Emulate3Timeout milliseconds causes the server to report a middle button press. Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" for Microsoft protocol mice Protocol "MouseMan" for Logitech mice Protocol "PS/2" for a PS/2 mouse Protocol "Busmouse" for a bus mouse Device "/dev/ttyd0" for a mouse on the first serial port Device "/dev/ttyd1" for a mouse on the second serial port Device "/dev/ttyd2" for a mouse on the third serial port Device "/dev/ttyd3" for a mouse on the fourth serial port Device "/dev/psm0" for a PS/2 mouse Device "/dev/mse0" for a bus mouse Emulate3Buttons only for a two-button mouse EndSection You'll notice that the protocol name does not always match the manufacturer's Page 8 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition name. In particular, the Logitech protocol only applies to older Logitech mice. The newer ones use either the MouseMan or Microsoft protocols. Nearly all modern serial mice run one of these two protocols, and most run both. If you are using a bus mouse or a PS/2 mouse, make sure that the device driver is included in the kernel. The GENERIC kernel contains drivers for both mice, but the PS/2 driver is disabled. Use UserConfig (see page 50) to enable it. Page 140 ________ Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. Reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # mount /usr mount /usr file system (if separate) # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup If you have a separate /usr file system (the normal case), you need to mount it as well, since the passwd program is in the directory /usr/bin. Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 148 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Modern shells supply command line editing which resembles the editors vi or Emacs. In bash, sh, ksh, and zsh you can make the choice by entering Page 152 ________ After figure 10-8, add the following text: It would be tedious for every user to put settings in their private initialization files, so the shells also read a system-wide default file. For the Bourne shell family, it is /etc/profile, while the C shell family has three Page 9 Install ports when installing the system files: /etc/csh.login to be executed on login, /etc/csh.cshrc to be executed when a new shell is started after you log in, and /etc/csh.logout to be executed when you stop a shell. The start files are executed before the corresponding individual files. In addition, login classes (page 141) offer another method of setting environment variables at a global level. Changing your shell ___________________ The FreeBSD installation gives root a C shell, csh. This is the traditional Berkeley shell, but it has a number of disadvantages: command line editing is very primitive, and the script language is significantly different from that of the Bourne shell, which is the de facto standard for shell scripts: if you stay with the C shell, you may still need to understand the Bourne shell. The latest version of the Bourne shell sh also includes some command line editing. See page 148 for details of how to enable it. You can get better command line editing with tcsh, in the Ports Collection. You can get both better command line editing and Bourne shell syntax with bash, also in the Ports Collection. If you have root access, you can use vipw to change your shell, but there's a more general way: use chsh (Change Shell). Simply run the program. It starts your favourite editor (as defined by the EDITOR environment variable). Here's an example before: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /bin/csh Full Name: Jack Velte Location: Office Phone: Home Phone: You can change anything after the colons. For example, you might change this to: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash Full Name: Jack Velte Location: On the road Office Phone: +1-408-555-1999 Home Phone: Page 10 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition chsh checks and updates the password files when you save the modifications and exit the editor. The next time you log in, you get the new shell. chsh tries to ensure you don't make any mistakes--for example, it won't let you enter the name of a shell which isn't mentioned in the file /etc/shells--but it's a very good idea to check the shell before logging out. You can try this with su, which you normally use to become super user: bumble# su velte Password: su-2.00$ note the new prompt There are a couple of problems in using tcsh or bash as a root shell: o The shell for root must be on the root file system, otherwise it will not work in single user mode. Unfortunately, most ports of shells put the shell in the directory /usr/local/bin, which is almost never on the root file system. o Most shells are dynamically linked: they rely on library routines in files such as /usr/lib/libc.a. These files are not available in single user mode, so the shells won't work. You can solve this problem by creating statically linked versions of the shell, but this requires programming experience beyond the scope of this book. If you can get hold of a statically linked version, perform the following steps to install it: o Copy the shell to /bin, for example: # cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin o Add the name of the shell to /etc/shells, in this example the line in bold print: # List of acceptable shells for chpass(1). # Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using # one of these shells. /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/bash You can then change the shell for root as described above. Page 11 Install ports when installing the system Thanks to Lars Koller for drawing this to my attention. Page 160 ________ Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text: The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file /kernel on the root file system, and loads it into memory. It prints the Boot: prompt at this point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page 579 for more details of what you can enter at this prompt. Page 169 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: The standard solution for these problems is to relocate the /tmp file system to a different directory, say /usr/tmp, and create a symbolic link from /usr/tmp to /tmp--see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 72, for more details. Thanks to Charlie Sorsby for drawing this to my attention. Page 176 ________ Add the following paragraph Unmounting file systems When you mount a file system, the system assumes it is going to stay there, and in the interests of efficiency it delays writing data back to the file system. This is the same effect we discussed on page 158. As a result, if you want to stop using a file system, you need to tell the system about it. You do this with the umount command. Note the spelling--there's no n in the command name. You need to do this even with read-only media such as CD-ROMs: the system assumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite unhappy if it can't. Where possible, it locks removable media so that you can't remove them from the device until you unmount them. Using umount is straightforward: just tell it what to unmount, either the device name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we Page 12 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition mounted in the example above, you could enter one of these commands: # umount /dev/cd1a # umount /cd1 Before unmounting a file system, umount checks that nobody is using it. If somebody is using it, it will refuse to unmount it with a message like umount: /cd1: Device busy. This message often occurs because you have changed your directory to a directory on the file system you want to remove. For example (which also shows the usefulness of having directory names in the prompt): === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 16 -> umount /cd1 umount: /cd1: Device busy === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 17 -> cd === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 18 -> umount /cd1 === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 19 -> Thanks to Ken Deboy for pointing out this omission. Page 180 ________ The example in the middle of the page should read: For example, to generate a second set of 32 pseudo-terminals, enter: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV pty1 You can generate up to 256 pseudo-terminals. They are named ttyp0 through ttypv, ttyq0 through ttyqv, ttyr0 through ttyrv, ttys0 through ttysv, ttyP0 through ttyPv, ttyQ0 through ttyQv, ttyR0 through ttyRv and ttyS0 through ttySv. To create each set of 32 terminals, use the number of the set: the first set is pty0, and the eighth set is pty7. Note that some processes, such as xterm, only look at ttyp0 through ttysv. Thanks to Karl Wagner for pointing out this error. Page 197, first line ____________________ The text of the first full sentence reads: Page 13 Install ports when installing the system The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up to the | symbol, is the label. Page 208, middle of page ________________________ The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when using the Bourne shell, and /dev/nrst0 when using C shell and friends. This is inconsistent; use /dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you want a rewinding tape. Thanks to Norman C Rice for pointing out this one. Page 219 ________ Before the section Testing the spooler add the following section: As we saw above, the line printer daemon lpd is responsible for printing spooled jobs. By default it isn't started at boot time. If you're root, you can start it by name: # lpd Normally, however, you will want it to be started automatically when the system starts up. You do this by setting the variable lpd_enable in /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon See page for more details of /etc/rc.conf. Another line in /etc/rc.conf refers to the line printer daemon: lpd_flags="" # Flags to lpd (if enabled). You don't normally need to change this line. See the man page for lpd for details of the flags. Thanks to Tommy G. James for bringing this to my attention. Page 14 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Page 231 ________ Replace the first line of the example with: xhost presto bumble gw The original version allowed anybody on the Internet to access your system. Thanks to Jerry Dunham for drawing this one to my attention. Page 237 ________ In the section Installing the sample desktop, replace the first paragraph with: You'll find all the files described in this chapter on the first CD-ROM (Installation CD-ROM) in the directory /book. Remember that you must mount the CD-ROM before you can access the files--see page 175 for further details. The individual scripts are in the directory /book/scripts, but you'll probably find it easier to install them with the script install-desktop: Thanks to Chris Kaiser for drawing this to my attention. Page 242 ________ The instructions for extracting the source files from CD-ROM in the middle of page 242 are incorrect. You'll find the kernel sources on the first CD-ROM in the directory /src. Replace the example with: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/src/ssys.[a-d]* | tar xzvf - Thanks to Raymond Noel , Suttipan Limanond and Satwant for finding this one in several small slices. Page 15 Install ports when installing the system Page 257 ________ Replace the paragraph Berkeley Packet Filter with: pseudo-device bpfilter ______________________ The Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf) allows you to capture packets crossing a network interface to disk or to examine them with the tcpdump program. Note that this capability represents a significant compromise of network security. The number after bpfilter is the number of concurrent processes that can use the facility. Not all network interfaces support bpf. In order to use the Berkeley Packet Filter, you must also create the device nodes /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf3 (if you're using the default number 4). Current- ly, MAKEDEV doesn't help much--you need to create each device separately: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV bpf0 # ./MAKEDEV bpf1 # ./MAKEDEV bpf2 # ./MAKEDEV bpf3 Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 264 ________ In the list of disk driver flags, add: o Bit 12 (0x1000) enables LBA (logical block addressing mode). If this bit is not set, the driver accesses the disk in CHS (cylinder/head/sector) mode. o In CHS mode, if bits 11 to 8 are not equal to 0, they specify the number of heads to assume (between 1 and 15). The driver recalculates the number of cylinders to make up the total size of the disk. Page 16 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Page 273, ``Building the kernel'' _________________________________ Replace the example with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention. Page 283, ``Creating the source tree'' ______________________________________ Add a third point to what you need to know: 3. Possibly, the date of the last update that you want to be included in the checkout. If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent updates. This option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was introduced. You specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10 December 1997". Page 285, after the second example. ___________________________________ Add the text: If you need to check out an older version, for example if there are problems with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter: # cvs co -D "10 December 1997" src/sys This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997. Page 17 Install ports when installing the system Page 294 ________ Add the following section: Problems executing Linux binaries _________________________________ One of the problems with the ELF format used by more recent Linux binaries is that they usually contain no information to identify them as Linux binaries. They might equally well be BSD/OS or UnixWare binaries. That's not really a problem at this point, since the only ELF format that FreeBSD 3.2 understands is Linux, but FreeBSD-CURRENT recognizes a native FreeBSD ELF format as well, and of course that's the default. If you want to run a Linux ELF binary on such a system, you must brand the executable using the program brandelf. For example, to brand the StarOffice program swriter3, you would enter: # brandelf -t linux /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/swriter3 Thanks to Dan Busarow for bringing this to my attention. Page 364, middle of page ________________________ Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 368 ________ Replace the paragraph after the second example with: In FreeBSD version 3.0 and later, specify the options PPP_BSDCOMP and Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition PPP_DEFLATE to enable two kinds of compression. You'll also need to specify the corresponding option in Kernel PPP's configuration file. These options are not available in FreeBSD version 2. Thanks to Brian Somers for this information. Page 397 ________ In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read: www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 422 ________ Replace the text above the example with: tcpdump is a program which monitors a network interface and displays selected information which passes through it. It uses the Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf), an optional component of the kernel. It is not included in the GENERIC kernel: see page 257 for information on how to configure it. If you don't configure the Berkeley Packet Filter, you will get a message like tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: device not configured If you forget to create the devices for bpf, you will get a message like: tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory Since tcpdump poses a potential security problem, you must be root in order to run it. The simplest way to run it is without any parameters. This will cause tcpdump to monitor and display all traffic on the first active network interface, normally Ethernet: Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 19 Install ports when installing the system Page 423 ________ The description at the top of the page incorrectly uses the term IP address instead of Ethernet address. In addition, a page number reference is incorrect. Replace the paragraph with: o Line 1 shows an ARP request: system presto is looking for the Ethernet address of wait. It would appear that wait is currently not responding, since there is no reply. o Line 2 is not an IP message at all. tcpdump shows the Ethernet addresses and the beginning of the packet. We don't consider this kind of request in this book. o Line 3 is a broadcast ntp message. We looked at ntp on page 160. o Line 4 is another attempt by presto to find the IP address of wait. o Line 5 is a broadcast message from bumble on the rwho port, giving information about its current load averages and how long it has been up. See the man page for rwho on page 1167 for more information. o Line 6 is from a TCP connection between port 6000 on freebie and port 1089 on presto. It is sending 384 bytes (with the sequence numbers 536925467 to 536925851; see page 305), and is acknowledging that the last byte it received from presto had the sequence number 325114346. The window size is 17280. o Line 7 is another ARP request. presto is looking for the Ethernet address of freebie. How can that happen? We've just seen that they have a TCP connection. In fact, ARP information expires after 20 minutes. It's quite possible that all connections between presto and freebie have been dormant for this period, so presto needs to find freebie's IP address again. o Line 8 is the ARP reply from freebie to presto giving its Ethernet address. o Line 9 shows a reply from presto on the connection to freebie that we saw on line 6. It acknowledges the data up to sequence number 536925851, but doesn't send any itself. o Line 10 shows another 448 bytes of data from freebie to presto, and acknowledging the same sequence number from presto as in line 6. Thanks to Sergei S. Laskavy for drawing this to my Page 20 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition attention. Page 450: anonymous ftp _______________________ Replace the paragraph starting with Create a user ftp: Create a user ftp, with the anonymous ftp directory as the home directory and the shell /dev/null. Using /dev/null as the shell makes it impossible to log in as user ftp, but does not interfere with the use of anonymous ftp. ftp can be a member of group bin, or you can create a new group ftp by adding the group to /etc/group. See page 138 for more details of adding users, and the man page on page 805 for adding groups. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for drawing this to my attention. Page 466, before the ps example _______________________________ Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly convenient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 478, ``Running Apache'' ____________________________ The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the Page 21 Install ports when installing the system directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information. Page 492 ________ Replace references to nmdb with nmbd. Page 493 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: socket options is hardly mentioned in the documentation, but it's very important: many Microsoft implementations of TCP/IP are inefficient and establish a new TCP more often than necessary. Select the socket options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

Would this schedule be feasible? Will it function > properly as I am expecting? That would be a backup schedule, but there's room for improvement. You don't provide quite enough information to figure out exactly how to do what you want, but I'll cover some alternatives. The rule is: a level N dump backs up all changes since the last dump at a level lower than N. There are no dumps lower than level 0, so level 0s back up everything. With your proposed schedule, the level 1s that happen every night would include everything that has changed since the full dump done the last friday. I run things close to that, but you can make better use of levels. If that's what you want, I'd suggest making the daily backups near level 6. You'll back the same things up, but if the daily dumps get to big, you can do a special level 3 (or similar), and the dailys will then start backing up the changes since the level 3. If instead, you wanted the daily tapes to back up only that days changes, you'd do level 0 (Fri), then levels 1, 2, 3, and so on. The problems with increasing the level each day is that you then have to restore some unknown set of tapes - possibly five - and it's fragile. If some tape is dead, you lose that days changes, and restores of the remaining tapes won't be quite correct. Doing it the other way means you only have to restore two dumps - the level 0, and the daily tape. If the latest daily tape is fried, you still lose one days work - but can get a proper restore from the previous days tape. As a comment, I think weekly level 0s is overkill. I typically do level 0s at an interval dictated by the environment, then do level 4s weekly, and level 8s daily. That leaves level 9s for a quick dump before I do something that endangers the system, and three levels for interim dumps between the regular levels. For boxes tracking -release, I tend to level 0s after every release is installed. On my boxes, I do level 0s when the weeklies require changing media. I've had clients with 0s at intervals ranging from once a month to once a year (though the latter case did the first weekly of the month at a lower level than the other three). http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

With a linux install (the box's previous install) this is quite easy, just set the bios to disallow boot from floppy, and give lilo the password= and 'restricted' options. With that configuration, there is no way to get access to an account on the box without physically opening it. However, trying to do this with FreeBSD proves a lot harder. Since I have two IDE drives, boot0 gives the F? list of drives, from which you can select the drive without the kernel on it, which can bring the boot process to a halt, which isn't nice, but isn't terrible either. boot2 is a lot more annoying however. Even if it doesn't show it's prompt by default, pressing space when you get the first '-' will bring up the prompt. From here, you can load an arbitrary replacement for /boot/loader, either previously stored in a users homedir or from floppy. I can't find any way short of hacking the code of stopping boot2 from doing this. The next part of the entertainment is /boot/loader. According to all the docu, having a set password=foo and check-password in /boot/loader.rc should get you a password prompt if you do anything apart from allowing the autoboot to continue. However, the password prompt doesn't appear for me, whatever I tried.. :-(. I have found one discussion from a while back on this topic on deja.com, however I didn't find any useful answers apart from "there's no such thing as security if the attacker has physical access", but I'm not trying to protect against physical access here, just console access.

NETGRAPH_PPTPGRE is only useful for PPTP tunnelling. If you are not doing PPTP then don't bother with it. This is why it's called NETGRAPH_PPTPGRE not NETGRAPH_GRE.

Everything seems fine with the card as far as FreeBSD is concerned, but no sound will come out. I have to reboot a few times until I get lucky and sound works. Windows has no problem with the card.

Maybe that has changed, but You haven't looked recently, have you? The Exim book from O'Reilly is due out this month. Sams has books out on both qmail and postfix. The books have arrived in the same order as the mailers became available. qmail doesn't *need* tons of documentation. You don't have a config file full of strange one-character variables and a processing model designed to deal with the different mail systems of the four different networks that UCB was running when it was written. Question: What does dollar-splat do. Answer: It depends on whether you're asking Eric Allman or Larry Wall. > having a book published by O'Reilly on a piece of software is usually a > pretty good indication that it is a widely used piece of software.

Fortunately, the same person who provides sendmail pre-configured for most users also provided a system for downloading, patching, configuring and installing such software. Maybe you've heard of the FreeBSD ports system?

I ran sendmail systems from '84 through '98, doing everything from uucp leaf nodes to handling campus mail at UCB. The continuing security problems convinced me to change to qmail, as it was the only alternative that seemed to solve the problems sendmail had. I haven't had to deal with any high volume mail servers with it, but it's been every bit as robust for me as sendmail was. People running high volume servers with qmail all seem quite happy with it. > It may not be for the faint of heart, but it is for high-volume servers > and it is the easiest out of the box solution. From what you've said, configuring qmail "out of the box" is easier than configuring sendmail as provided by jordan. qmail has the advantage of being installed *after* the system is configured, so it can stuff your host name into the appropriate places in the config files. If you want to change the behavior in some nontrivial way - well, sendmail is a disaster. As for high-volume servers, I'd say FreeBSD.org qualifies, and it's certainly run by people who should know sendmail well. They probably know postfix equally well, as that's what they run. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Microsoft PPTP ain't it. Your idea is a good one - they are confusing 15 pptp session limits with NAT. However, I don't know how easy it's going to be for you to find an ISP that will grant them. We would, but we have the IP numbers. Many smaller ISP's don't. One possible solution - a rather yucky one at that, is to use a Windows 2000 Terminal Server system for your NAT gateway to the outside. You load the inventory/billing client on that. Then the 15 inside systems use Terminal Server client to connect to the 2000 system. This would work - but by the time that your non-profit recovers from the cost of such a solution, they may be more inclined to go back to the billing company and tell them to "get lost or supply a better VPN solution" Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of James Housley >Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 7:07 AM >To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: PPTP and firewalls, can I? > > >I have been asked to help solve a problem with a local Non Profit >company.

But he can't outguess the manufacturers if he doesn't get the documentation he needs. For example, I had a case recently with an el cheapo card which had slightly different specs from others of its ilk: dc0: port 0xc400-0xc4ff mem 0xeb000000-0xeb0000ff irq 3 at device 9.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 00:80:c6:f9:d3:fa The symptoms were that the card would appear to go to sleep, and you couldn't contact the machine. If you were on the machine, however, things would work a while and then freeze up again. It turned out that this card had a subtle difference in the multicast hash table: it was only 128 bits instead of 512. This stopped it receiving broadcast messages, such as ARP requests. Bill added a fix for it, and we have seen no problems since. It's quite possible that the RealTek driver has similar issues.

You read the pw(8) manpage, in which it states: -d dir This option sets the account's home directory. Normally, you will only use this if the home directory is to be different from the default determined from /etc/pw.conf - normally /home with the account name as a subdirectory. -k dir Set the skeleton directory, from which basic startup and configuration files are copied when the user's home directory is created.

Suppose now that we want to store in ptr the "address" of our integer variable k.

Now, ptr is said to "point to" k." Ruurd Pels, in his "A Brief Tutorial on Pointers, Lvalues, & Rvalues" states: [some text snipped for brevity] " Definitions: rvalue the attribute of a variable that holds the address where that particular variable is stored. lvalue the attribute of a variable that holds the value of the variable. int v = 3; int* p; p = &v; <---- What the &-operator does is a modification of what happens at the left side of the assignment. Basically it tells the compiler not to use 'v'-s rvalue to obtain the address where the lvalue of 'v' is stored, but it tells it to use the rvalue of 'v' as the right hand side of the assignment. It then proceeds as normal, assigning the value obtained to the lvalue of p and storing that at the address contained in the rvalue of p. What we have now is a p with an rvalue that is equal to the address where p is stored, and an lvalue that is equal to the address where 'v' is stored. Bingo! We initialized a pointer. Conclusion: - The meaning of the symbol '&' in the context of a variable is "take-the-address-instead-of-the-value" " I'm confused!! In his "Definitions:" above, did Pels get rvalue and lvalue switched around? I ask because if you re-read what each states about the meaning of '&', they don't seem to jibe. Or, am I missing the obvious -- if there's such a thing with pointers? ;) Here's my take. Given: int i, k, *j; i = 3 k = i; <-- Case1 j = &i; <-- Case2 In Case1, lvalue of k -> the address of k rvalue of k -> the rvalue of i (via the lvalue of i) In Case2, lvalue of j -> the address of j rvalue of j -> the lvalue (address) of i So I lean towards Jensen's explanation, and the '&' means: DON'T use the lvalue of i to get the rvalue of i, to then do the assignment as normally would happen DO use the lvalue of i *only* for the assignment. So who's correct - Jensen and I; or Pels? And while we're *there* *j -> always refers to the rvalue of i TIA.... -- -duke Calgary, Alberta, Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 27 19:43:40 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp018.mail.yahoo.com (smtp018.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.174.115]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 8068737B422 for ; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 19:43:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from educatee2001@yahoo.com) Received: from co3018900-a.belrs1.nsw.optushome.com.au (HELO co3018900a) (203.164.78.30) by smtp.mail.vip.sc5.yahoo.com with SMTP; 28 Apr 2001 02:43:36 -0000 X-Apparently-From: Message-ID: <001501c0cf8d$3af46f10$0100c8c8@co3018900a> From: "Educatee" To: "FreeBSD questions" Subject: HTTP-GW problem.

I've got a fully licensed copy of QT through my work, and would like to use it on FreeBSD. I've installed the QT2.3.0 package, but it doesn't appear to have some things, like qt designer (atleast that I could find) and I had problems compiling a simple app. So, back to the point. I'm trying to compile QT 2.3.0. Configure: ./configure -no-g++-exceptions This is the configure for the most recent attempt, I've also tried with -thread and -kde (After setting KDEDIR), either way, configure runs fine. Then, I just run make. I've tried it with both make, and gmake, incase they are different. Things go along fine, until this: g++ -L/usr/local/qt-2.3.0/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/qt-2.3.0/lib -o /usr/local/qt-2.3.0/bin/uic uic.o ../shared/widgetdatabase.o ../shared/domtool.o ../integration/kdevelop/kdewidgets.o -lqutil -L../lib -lqt /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined reference to `pthread_getspecific' /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined reference to `pthread_key_create' /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined reference to `pthread_setspecific' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0/tools/designer/uic. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0/tools/designer. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0/tools/designer. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0/tools. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0/tools. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/qt-2.3.0. I've installed the linuxthread package, if that matters, though it appears to be something with the GL library. I'm pretty certain that I was able to compile QT 2.3.0 at my office, and it worked fine, so I'm not certain what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If ng_one2many is not the solution, is there any FreeBSD based solution to achieve such load balancing (round robin is fine)? |-- ip: 12.12.12.12 --| | | |---------| | |--------| | FreeBSD | |--| Cisco |--(ISP A)--| | 4.3R | | WCCP | |--Internet |---------| |--| router |--(ISP B)--| | | |--------| |-- ip: 23.23.23.23 --| Thanks! best wishes, Wai Chan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 27 20:56:53 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com (mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com [206.29.169.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2D04E37B423 for ; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 20:56:49 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tedm@toybox.placo.com) Received: from tedm.placo.com (nat-rtr.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com [206.29.168.154]) by mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com (8.11.1/8.11.1) with SMTP id f3S3ugk77493; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 20:56:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tedm@toybox.placo.com) From: "Ted Mittelstaedt" To: "John Kendler" , Subject: RE: Any mail server software that could run on FreeBSD?

Last I saw Sendmail was the default, qmail was an optional port. I'd say that if you want to construe anything as a recommendation, this is pretty overwhelming. Qmail is usually advised for those people that don't like reading the manual and prefer to just install software and go, without knowing anything about what they are installing. This is because qmail is _simpler_. Obviously, when you make something _less flexible_ you make it _simpler_ thus easier for the unwashed masses to digest. There's a reason, after all, that qmail is the default for Linux. Either program will work for you fine - and in my opinion neither is particularly difficult to comprehend and install. However, if you wish to be the type of admin that runs software he has no clue about, then qmail might suit you better. If that's a recommendation then so be it.

When I install third party software, say the apache server or jdk etc..., where should I install them? Some book say, if I remember correctly, all system-wide programs should be installed under /usr/local. But some people tell me that install them in wherever it has the most HD space. What is the convention used in the real-life? I'm confused. Any of your opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance, kero __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Individual tracks (with banding): burncd -f /dev/cdrom -s 8 audio track* fixate (assuming the burner is /devcdrom, its 8 speed and track* matches your tracks in the correct order). If you have one big disk image then: burncd -f /dev/cdrom -s 8 audio cd.image fixate The problem with that is you get one big audio track - OK as long as you only play sequentially anyway.

Here is the dillema: I have set up a firewall/router and have recompiled the kernel for ipfw and natd. Here is my current setup: => cable modem => ep1(external nic 24.109.xxx.xxx) **router/firewall** ep0(internal nic192.168.xxx.xxx) <=> HUB <=> 192.168.xxx.xxx Computer(Win ME) <=> 192.168.xxx.xxx Laptop (Win 2000) What I am having problems with is that on the main computer on the subnet I am unable to use Outlook express to view newsgroups. I can suft the web, download files, I can use napster, ICQ. I have read the man pages for ipfw but I'm still at a loss. The error message I receive is: Server cannot be found: Configuration: Account: news Server: news Protocol: NNTP Port: 119 Secure(SSL): 0 Code: 800ccc0d I added the line in the rc.firewall.current ( see below ) after the rule for ssh (port 22) but without any luck. $fwcmd add allow tcp from any 119 to any 119 setup I have looked through /etc/protocols but none are listed for NNTP......:( I also would like to be able to let IPX thought the firewall to the outside and let it back in. again there is no listing for IPX in /etc/protocols :( The same goes for acess to an ftp server that in on the main computer in the internal subnet. The server is on port 27015. Again I have tried to use add allow tcp from any 27015 to any 27015 setup add allow ipx-in-ip from any to any setup and again no luck. I have also modified # Stop spoofing of your internal network range $fwcmd add deny log ip from $inwr to any in via $oif >From deny to allow in order for the internal network to be able to acess the outside. Does this pose any security issues?

I know I can carry this out with ipfilter. But I need to control the inner hosts like the following situation: some can do everthing like visiting web sites, sending email, ftping files etc, some only can sending email. How to control with ipfilter? Can the ipfilter log all the outgoing's begin and end time? Best regaurds! --xiyuan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Outlook is trying to retrieve newsgroups from a server named 'news' (supposedly there should be a default domain appended to it). Is there an address associated with 'news' in your - or your ISP's - DNS setup? If you do 'ping news' from the Windows machine that you are using Outlook on, does Windows resolve 'news' to an IP address successfully? If not, you might want to check the Outlook setup, and change the name of the news server it tries to contact.

Default for what distribution? None of the most popular distributions use Qmail as their default MTA. RedHat, SuSE and Slackware all use sendmail and Debian uses Exim.

I have fBSD 4-1. A HP Laserjet 4L. Then I installed gs 6.01, apsfilter 5.4.2. After configuration of the apsfilter, it prints but.... It takes quite a while before the printing is executed. The staircase effect is still there. The printers memory is receiving the doc, but it seems that an EOF or someting is missing, so the printer never starts to execute the printing, the LED is just blinking, so I have to start printing manually on the printer. More.... The doc is in a4, but it seems that everything is 4 times too big, that is, only a 4th of the doc on each paper, and with gigant letters. The lpq, and so on, are working, but I can't remove anything in the queue with lprm, neither as user or root. I have to erase the queue manually in the spool. What am I doing wrong here? Any tips?

So, where is your NIC connected to? DSL? Switch? Cross-connect cable to another NIC? You have to determine, whether you need full-duplex or half-duplex. Half-duplex being the safe bet. > Sorry, but I am a new FreeBSD user. > Can you tell only the commands/files needed to change this ? > Then I will seek the right options in man. man ifconfig man rl You do this with "ifconfig". To make it permanent add a line in /etc/rc.conf . I have there: ifconfig_rl0="inet netmask media 10baseT/UTP" This will force half-duplex. For full-duplex you have to add the "mediaopt full-duplex" term. Note that the man page is somewhat unclear there, at least last time I checked it.

It would seem to me that the RealTek cards are _so_ cheap that the manufacturers using those chipsets are all simply using the "suggested design schematic" and the sample device driver that comes from RealTek. For a deviation of the card to exist would imply that the card manufacturers are actually spending money on hardware and software design. That's assuming a lot for a card that usually sells for less than $9 USD I would think that there would be more chance of this sort of trouble with motherboard manufacturers that decide to embed the RealTek chip on their boards.

Any motherboard manufacturer wanting to integrate a RealTek chip on their board would have to be extremely dumb. Under very high loads, they burn off like there's no tomorrow. We had a delivery of 3COM cards become delayed, and for a weekend had to do with some RealTek 8139s...not a success. We blew four within the first 12 hours, and come Monday a whole seven were dead. Now it might have been that particular manufacturers fault, but man...

As you seem to be implying here, saying that Sendmail is recommended because it's the default is stupid. I agree that this is as STUPID as picking any other thing and using that to say that Qmail is recommended, short of an actual recommendation written up in the FreeBSD docs. (which if there is one please let us know where it is) The point is that there's NO official recommendation as to what mailer to use, your statement that qmail is recommended is incorrect. >> Qmail is usually advised for those people that don't like reading >> the manual and prefer to just install software and go, without >> knowing anything about what they are installing.

Now, I don't disagree that it's possible to run a small network with few nodes and a very easy-going userbase that's tolerant of downtime with this attitude. But, your not going to see this attitude in any kind of large network that isn't in fire-drill mode 24 hours a day. (and if you think that 24 hour-a-day fire-drill mode is something to strive for in networking, then I really feel sorry for you) Your also not going to see this attitude in any kind of network in which the business loses real money when the network is down. (as opposed to most office networks where a network outage is merely a minor inconvenience to the cubicle drones) In short, this phrase stamps AMATEUR across your forehead. Seriously, professionals really do take the time to understand the details of the tools that they are using. >> There's a reason, after all, that qmail is the default for >> Linux. > >Sorry? Default for what distribution? None of the most popular >distributions use Qmail as their default MTA. RedHat, SuSE and Slackware >all use sendmail and Debian uses Exim. That was a cheap shot, Ted. > Your correct, I was out of line there. I had forgotten that it wasn't the mailer but the local delivery agent that Linux had changed. (Procmail) However, my advice still applies: if your idea of good software is that which you can install without knowing what your doing or how it works, then qmail is probably going to be easier for you to deal with. You seem to be saying that this is a _desirable_ way to do things, so your probably going to view my advice as a recommendation.

O'Reilly hasn't published a book on FreeBSD..... However, I have to ask, have you actually READ the O'Reilly Sendmail book? If you had, you would find that 99% of the book is about the syntax of the *.cf file. Years ago, the .cf file stopped being hand-generated on most systems, and they went to automatic generation using the .mc file. In fact, today the Sendmail docs explicitly say NOT to modify the sendmail.cf file. Most of the FUD about Sendmail centers on obsolete fears of the complexity of the .cf file. Now do you see why the status of the O'Reilly book on Sendmail might be just a teeny, tiny bit IRRELEVANT these days?

What is better (i= s the first > time I set VPN on a UNIX system).? >=20 >=20 I am using two VPN systems. For GRE (Windows clients to a LAN), and one from LAN-to-LAN. LAN-to-LAN, vtund running PPP over it works fairly well. About the only shortcoming is that the "persist" option to re-establish connection in case of network failure gets confused in the face of many interruptions too close together. vtund is fairly well documented, so I won't include a config file example, but I can supply one if asked. I have found mpd to work very well for GRE. It uses the netgraph interface and this is automatically loaded as a kernel module. Here is a a config file example: Note that "pptp2, pptp3" , etc entries are necessary. You need as many "pptpx" entries in the config file as the number of simultaneous connections you allow. Note the only differences in the entries are the label, the address, and the logging line. ************************************************************************* default: =09load pptp1 =09load pptp2 =09load pptp3 pptp1: =09new -i ng0 pptp1 pptp1 =09set iface disable on-demand =09set iface enable proxy-arp =09set iface idle 1800 =09set bundle disable multilink =09set link yes acfcomp protocomp =09set link no pap chap =09set link enable chap =09set link keep-alive 10 60 =09set ipcp yes vjcomp =09set ipcp ranges 192.168.0.200/32 192.168.0.220/32 =09set ipcp dns 192.168.0.240 =09set ipcp nbns 192.168.0.244 =09log +pptp +pptp2 # If you wanted MPPE encryption and had ng_mppc(8)... =09set bundle enable compression =09set ccp yes mppc =09set ccp yes mpp-e40 =09set ccp yes mpp-e128 =09set bundle enable crypt-reqd =09set ccp yes mpp-stateless The changes for the second entry are only to these lines: pptp2: =09new -i ng1 pptp2 pptp2 =09set ipcp ranges 192.168.0.200/32 192.168.0.221/32 =09log +pptp +pptp2 hope this helps..

I've a ASUs A7V mother board which has only slot PCI and AGP and none ISA slot. My Ethernet card is a Realtek 8139 PCI (10/100 Mb/s)card while the sound card is a Sound Blaster 128 PCI card. I tried to install FreeBSD version 4.2 but i was not able to install this two card. In the kernel configuration file i had included the driver pcm for the sound card and driver rl ( together the driver miibus) for the Ethernet card, but the bootstrap program says that it couldn't map port to memory for both the cards .Which driver i must include in the Kernel? Is the problem that the mother board hasn't the ISA bus? I will thank you in advance.

You're in luck... I just bought a Logitech cordless keyboard/mouse set, and had to get the USB mouse working. You should note that even Logitech suggests using the PS/2 adapter if you can. In the end, I wound up using the adapter--getting the USB feature working was just for experimentation. The only thing a USB mouse is good for, is if you want to use a PS/2 mouse and a USB mouse together. That said, if you still insist on USB, here goes: The thumb button makes an awesome middle button. Using the scroll wheel as a middle button is no good, because you often move the roller when trying to press it down. Plus, it is more awkward to push down than the thumb button. Here's what I did to preserve the thumb button as button two. Do you really need a console mouse? I don't like moused very much, so I leave it disabled and use direct XFree86 mouse support. If you want to use direct XFree86 mouse supports, you make your mouse section look like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Mouse" # Rename as desired. Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/ums0" Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6" EndSection If you really want moused running, make sure you have started it with `moused -t auto -p /dev/ums0`. I think usbd should handle this for you, unless you've changed the configuration. In that case, the InputDevice section is the same as above except you change the "Device" and "Protocol" options to read Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Protocol" "SysMouse" This will set up the left and right buttons as buttons 1 and 3, respectively, the thumb as button four, wheel up as 5, wheel down as 6, and wheel depressed as 3. This is absolutely horrible. Hence you use xmodmap to reassign the buttons into something workable. I don't know what your .xinitrc or .xsession looks like, but mine has a nice section that looks for a .Xmodmap file and loads it if present. Therefore, to make things easy on myself, I created a .Xmodmap. Otherwise, you can create a file with any arbitrary name (ideally a hidden file, so you don't have it coming up in standard directory listings). Let's assume you call it .Xmodmap like me. Add the following line to the file: pointer = 1 6 3 2 4 5 Then, if .xinitrc doesn't automatically load it, add the following line to your .xinitrc (or .xsession): xmodmap .Xmodmap Naturally, if .xinitrc isn't in the same directory as .Xmodmap, you may need a path to the file. When you start X, the left and right buttons will still be 1 and 3, the thumb button will be 2 (the middle button), wheel up will be 4, wheel down will be 5, and wheel depressed will be 6. If you open up xev and look at its output, you will be able to confirm this by pressing buttons in the xev window. Next, to test the wheel, open an xterm. Do a bunch of stuff so it has a history to scroll through, then wheel around and notice how the xterm scrolls. I think this also works for GTK and Qt apps. Note that wheel support is up to the application, which means if it isn't a GTK or Qt app, or isn't an xterm, it won't appear to work. You need to create an X resources file, which you can learn about at http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll. The site is pretty good, although in some parts the English can be lousy... oh well. After having said all this, I'll bet you your wheel worked all along, but you tried it on an app that wasn't configured for the wheel... am I right? -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 28 9:27:50 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailhub.unibe.ch (mailhub.unibe.ch [130.92.254.109]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2DBF337B424 for ; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 09:27:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from roth@iamexwi.unibe.ch) Received: from CONVERSION-DAEMON by mailhub.unibe.ch (PMDF V5.2-32 #42480) id <0GCI00201G6NUI@mailhub.unibe.ch> for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:23:11 +0200 (MEST) Received: from iamexwi.unibe.ch (haegar.unibe.ch [130.92.71.10]) by mailhub.unibe.ch (PMDF V5.2-32 #42480) with ESMTP id <0GCI00LKVG6MW7@mailhub.unibe.ch> for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:23:10 +0200 (MEST) Received: from arp.unibe.ch (arp [130.92.62.25]) by iamexwi.unibe.ch (8.9.3+Sun/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA29707 for ; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:28:42 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from roth@localhost) by arp.unibe.ch (8.9.3+Sun/8.9.1) id SAA13072 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:28:39 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:28:38 +0200 From: Tobias Roth Subject: make.conf To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <20010428182838.A13054@arp.unibe.ch> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-disposition: inline Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I have some questions about make.conf. 1) WRKDIRPREFIX is not documented in /etc/defaults/make.conf Why?

Does it override the host specified in the supfile? 3) how does SUPFILE1 work? What about PORTSSUPFILE and DOCSSUPFILE? Where is this documented?

The httpd.conf is read only when apache starts, not every time a user connect to the server. On the other hand .htaccess files is read by apache web server every time an access appear.

The box is a dual P3 with 2g ram running 4.2 release. The application is qmail handling inbound mail. The out of the box configuration of the box was running out of open files, so I bumped maxusers to 512 in the kernel. Ever since then, the box has been panicing and rebooting with "pipeinit: cannot allocate pipe -- out of kvm -- code = 3". Since then, I've cut max users to 256, 128 and finally 64. I bumped kern.maxfiles up to 5000 to compensate with maxusers = 64. The box is still crashing with the out of kvm panic after a few hours of runtime. I've done some digging around, but haven't been able to find much about this panic, let alone any kinds of possible solutions. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what I could try? Thanks!

I have _no_ problems resolving the domains from within the LAN, and NSI shows them transferred, but anytime I try to use someone elses name server to resolve the domains, I either get 'domain does not exist' or a timeout. Could there be something funky going on with 4.3 that is keeping people outside my network from getting to my DNS box (packet filer or something). The box itself is able to get to/from other sites, without any problems, and is pingable from the outside world. Any thoughts?

I was wondering if there was an easy way to write a script or some other method to pull setiathome data from a setiathome team statistics web site (or any website based table) and import it into a mysql or any other database where I can generate my own more detailed statistics. I am interested in getting daily snapshots so I can chart progress and performance on a daily basis. Currently I have an ms spreadsheet I update manually and then I have to manually move the output data into a static web site for others to view. I would like to automate as much of this as possible. So first off is data collection. I think I have a good handle on how to deal with data calculation. If you just have a link to a place where I can get a "for dummies" like guide to scripting that would actually be more helpful as I would like to learn more about this stuff and the possibilities that may exist. The more I can get BSD to do automatically the less manual work I have to do on Win98 boxes. Maybe someday I can get to the point of having only one Win98 box here just for games and have all the real work running on BSD.

Look at adduser(8) (located in /usr/sbin/), which is a Perl script for adding new users to the system, and which comes in the default FreeBSD base system. It uses pw(8) for the hard work of actually modifying the password files. It doesn't allow for specifying a password on the command line, because that potentially exposes the password to any local users. > I'm programming a PHP CGI Script able to add new users to the system. It's a little tricky to get the security on this sort of thing right, but of course "right" depends on your requirements. > I'm trying to do it making a PERL setuid script able to be run by httpd user (nobody) > which act as an interface. Note that suidperl is *not* actually installed on the system (well, technically it is, but it doesn't have the suid bit set) and that FreeBSD doesn't respect the suid bit on interpreted scripts (which includes perl as well as shell scripts). This is for security reasons. Although these protections can be disabled easily enough, I would discourage you from doing so unless you're sure you understand all of the security implications.

Take a look at man > dhclient.conf for more options. One of those other options is "prepend", which I would recommend here rather than "supersede". Most of the time, it will make no difference, but if the name server on that host goes down, users on the machine will still be able to do DNS lookups. Good luck.

Where is this documented? /etc/defaults/make.conf isn't really documentation. There is a manual page for make.conf (type "man 5 make.conf" to see it) which does document them. There are, if I recall properly (but I don't care enough to check for sure) some undocumented variables, but they are a lot less useful than these are. The SUPHOST and SUPFILE variables are for "make update", which is not just for ports but can do (all or any subset of) main sources, ports, and documentation. Look at the appropriate makefiles (including /usr/src/Makefile.inc1) for more information, but I've never found that functionality to be very useful as an end-user. I *think* it's used by the release engineer as part of testing the system build, though. Good luck.

I installed qmail because - at the time - it was the only MTA around for which auditing every line of code that ran in a process with root privs was a reasonable single-person task. I understand that sendmail can now be (or is) organized so that the code running privileged is small enough to do that, but it certainly wasn't when I wanted to do that. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Well, ugen0 means it's being picked up by the generic driver, which means it's not being seen by anything else. I don't see a USB modem driver in LINT, and I've never used a USB modem, so I wouldn't know how to get one working in FreeBSD. All I can tell you is that, while I can't say it looks bad, I can say it doesn't look explicitly good. USB devices have an identifying string, and when the ugen0 driver picks it up, it requests the device string. That doesn't mean ugen knows what to do with the device. Lots of luck. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 28 15: 4:36 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from echonyc.com (echonyc.com [198.67.15.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B415137B422 for ; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 15:04:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from suleyman@echonyc.com) Received: from localhost (suleyman@localhost) by echonyc.com (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id f3SM4Wu03816 for ; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:04:32 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2001 18:04:32 -0400 (EDT) From: Ken Seggerman To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: laptop as router on home network Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings: I have recently reconfigured my home network. I am fairly confident that I have the IP numbers correct. I have two FreeBSD books and a Cisco exam study guide which agree with my numbers. I can ping, telnet and mount from any *nix machine to another, and can access the internet from any machine. Samba works correctly. The problem I am having is that NFS will often hang, particularly when I try anything ambitious like backing up the laptop to the PC (FreeBSD on both machines) It has even happened when editing a text file accross an NFS mount. Am I overtaxing my laptop to be using it as a router like this? I have to go back to the old configuration to do a laptop-to-PC bacup.

If you're using the "lpr" command and getting a staircase effect, then the output isn't being sent through apsfilter. apsfilter doesn't ever send text to the printer - it sends it to a2ps, then to ghostscript to render as an image, and that image gets sent to your printer. > The printers memory is receiving the doc, but it seems that an EOF or > someting is missing, so the printer never starts to execute the > printing, the LED is just blinking, so I have to start printing > manually on the printer.

The source of this problem will depend on whether or not apsfilter is actually being used. If apsfilter is being used, then your apsfilter setup is using to large a font. If apsfilter isn't being used, then your printer is configured to use a large font. Since you're getting the staircase effect (both at once, right?), check the printer config first. > The lpq, and so on, are working, but I can't remove anything in the > queue with lprm, neither as user or root.

However, from the sounds of things, you have problems outside of the filter.

You don't *have* to use boot0. You could, for instance, use a standard MBR to avoid that. Or any other boot loader.

You could also try skipping /boot/loader and just loading the kernel, but there the loader apparently sets some stuff up that the running system needs. > I have found one discussion from a while back on this topic on > deja.com, however I didn't find any useful answers apart from "there's > no such thing as security if the attacker has physical access", but > I'm not trying to protect against physical access here, just console > access.

Sure. Same thing with the Macronix. I think I paid $20 for the cards. But the difference isn't in the schematic, it's in the (cheaper) chip.

I got Compaq Laptop with a supported Ethernet card, a 3Com Megahertz.. It's no problem cause I gave it once a fixed IP address and it worked very well.. But.. as soon as I wanted to get my laptop online without going thru my (BSD!) gateway, it began to do funny. I got a cable modem so I plugged the 3com pcmcia into the CableModem.. and did a reboot.. okay, the ep0 interface (my 3Com pcmcia card) was still 10.0.0.5, pretty normal. But, I've tried a lot of things now, i've written the man files over and over again, i guess i even know them by heart now.. and I searched your site.. but no answer. I found on that the problem is in dhclient .. It gives me address 0.0.0.0.. Can you help me? So i can finally get rid of this windows thing?

I've never had any problems installing these 3 out of the ports. Dirk is really doing a great job with these ports. I don't know if it's important but i always install them in this order: mysql - apache - mod_php4 because php4 needs some mysql libs. > Why would this be?

Auto-sensing often fails, so force the correct settings. Througput isn't as near to theoretical maximums than other NICs. Look in the source code for rl: DMA is disabled by default, because of it's very bad implementation. Using PIO therefore the processor load is much higher than for other NICs, of course. Me trying to enable DMA in the source (simply an IFDEF), ended with a non-working NIC. So it's definitely not the card for servers, but it's o.k. for normal home use.

I was under the impression that loader.rc was read before BTX went into interactive mode aswell? After all, that's where the check-password function is called... And loader.rc appears to use the same syntax as at the BTX prompt, ie 'set password=test'.

Some of them won't change at all, as they are data only, but there aren't many of those. Others may not need it, but for most the port will be out of date, so reinstalling is probably a good idea. It's also possible to have an up to date port, and have it break because something in the system include files that it depends on changed, though that's rare. > What is a good way of administering the above? Get the list of installed ports from /var/db/pkgs before you deinstall any of them. Before you start reinstalling them, prune the list - anything that you're not longer using can probably be dropped from it. In particular, I throw out any libraries that aren't being used for local development. If a port needs them, it'll reinstall them. If none of them need them and I'm not using them, then there's no point in installing them. During the rebuild process, you should avoid rebuilding a port that's already been built and installed. If you've got the space, not doing "make clean" will do that. If you don't have the space and have to cleaning each port after it's installed, you should check to see if a prior port didn't install the one you're looking at before you do the install. An intermediate startegy also works: install ports until you're about out of space, then make clean on them, then check the list of things left and remove anything that's already listed in /var/db/pkgs. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

I don't know php3, but /var/qmail/bin/sendmail is right. However, that's the wrong way to set such things up on FreeBSD. You should edit mailer.conf instead. The man page discusses what should be in it. The qmail port includes the make target "enable-qmail" to install a properly configured mailer.conf for qmail. > Please, tell me what to do!!! Throw out what you've done, and install the port. > And what related to qmail must be listed by "ps" command??? qmail-lspawn, qmail-rspawn, qmail-send, qmail-clean and whatever you're using for listening to tcp ports and launching qmail-smtpd.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get the darn thing working. I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can answer. Here's my setup: Laptop with two PCMCIA NICS One NIC (ed1) connected to a DSL router/modem DSL router/modem has a private ip (172.25.0.1) and acts as a DHCP server for my internal LAN PCs One NIC (ed2) connected to my internal LAN hub with an ip of 192.168.0.1 A picture would be: ISP | | [Global ip] ROUTER [172.25.0.1] | | [172.25.0.2] ed1 FIREWALL [192.168.0.1] ed2 | | LAN [192.168.0.2 ...] 1- When I use /stand/sysinstall to configure my interfaces it ask me for a default gateway. I'm setting ed1 to use 172.25.0.1 and ed2 to use172.25.0.2 but it seems that the last interface to brought up by /stand/sysinstall sets the default gateway for both interfaces? If I look at my rc.conf file, the deltas added by sysinstall have a line defaultrouter="..." and the ip specified is for the last interfac I brought up. Shouldn't there be one defaultrouter entry for each interface? 2- Which interface is my natd interface? I've tried both but when I run natd -v I can see that the real ip addresses are not really being translated but just used as is. Is this right?

That *is* cheap. Is this a 10 Mb/s or a 100 Mb/s card? > Every 8139 I've seen is _supposed_ to be autoswitching at 10/100 (this depends greatly on the hub - the 8139 always wants to assume 100BaseT Full Duplex on power up and I don't believe that they properly implement the Nway spec since they often do this on hubs that are 10BaseT only) and all of them are single chip models (with the exception of a few caps and such for voltage purification) and while the cards seem to come in different shapes and sizes with the chip positioned at different locations on the card they all appear to be the same part number of chip, and are all made by RealTek. Of course this is no guarentee that RealTek won't make some design change in the future that will require software rengineering, but I'd wonder why, since they don't seem to be marketing to the high-performance crowd. Their other seller they are known for is the 10BaseT PCI card and it's main claim to fame is that it's NE2000 compliant, so for that one they didn't even have to go to the effort to write a sample driver. (not that the NE2000 chipset is a technically good chipset to want to emulate) This is a company that is wanting to sell cheap silicon so they just leverage everyone else's effort. Obviously, they have a good thing going since they are now everybody's cheap Enet card, most parts dealers that sell them just seem to put customer returns right back on the shelf without blinking. And, yes they really do sell for $9 around here, although not using the RealTek name of course. (you have to open the box to determine it's an 8139 based card) Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 28 23:11: 0 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from baku.host4u.net (baku.host4u.net [216.71.64.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 813AF37B443; Sat, 28 Apr 2001 23:10:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from freebsddiary@baku.host4u.net) Received: (from freebsddiary@localhost) by baku.host4u.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA12915; Sun, 29 Apr 2001 01:07:03 -0500 Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2001 01:07:03 -0500 Message-Id: <200104290607.BAA12915@baku.host4u.net> From: Dan Langille To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: The FreeBSD Diary: 2001-04-08 - 2001-04-28 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The FreeBSD Diary contains a large number of practical examples and how-to guides.

You don't. The concept of a "default route" always mandates that on a single host that a SINGLE connection exists to "The Internet" I would >prefer one over the other, but need it to fall back to the second if the >first goes offline. > In this case the "preferred" route _is_ the "default route" and the "non-preferred" route is _not_ the "default route". In the event that the default route goes offline, then what you apparently want to have happen is that this route _stops_ being the default route, and the non-preferred route _starts_ being the default route. You may think all this is semantics, but it's a very important concept in Internet routing - because the default route mandates ALL traffic pass through it that is not explicitly routed elsewhere. Since there are nearly a hundred thousand routes on the Internet, for typical Internet traffic from a typical going concern there is not a snowball's chance your going to be able to get any kind of "load sharing" going using default routing in this scenario. In short, ALL your _inbound_and_outbound_ traffic will _always_ come through _one_ of the multiple links you have set up, as long as you are using default routing. Now, if you don't like this idea, and your thinking that you can have, say, 70% of the traffic go in and out the preferred route, and 30% go in and out the non-preferred route unless the preferred route dies then you have 100% go in and out the non-preferred route, then the only way that you can do it with multiple ISP's is to obtain an AS number, and do BGP with both ISP's. Generally, you can't get AS numbers unless you have a valid business justification, and a single FreeBSD system on 2 DSL lines (if this is what you have running) ain't it! But, if you have the money to spend on multiple ISP connections that duplicate each other and you don't care that 99% of the time one of the pipes is going to be wasted, why then you can implement this kind of "default route switching" if you want, there's a number of ways to do it. >I would have thought routed would do this, but I can't see any indication >that it does redundant links. If I'm wrong, please point me at an example >configuration, or alternatively anything else I can use to accomplish >this. > routed runs the RIP protocol and that does redundant links just fine - given the proper network setup. As a matter of fact I just published a "poor man's redundancy" solution using routed and RIP on FreeBSD to set up a V90 redundant backup line for a DSL line. You can read it at http://www.computerbits.com in the Network Community section. However, you WILL NOT be able to do this with multiple ISP's, don't even waste time trying. You need to give some more background, like what kind of links and so on, that you have before anyone could assist here. But, I can tell you that I have a feeling that I know what your trying to accomplish and I also have a feeling that you don't understand all of the ramifications of why it won't work for most applications. I also think that for the few apps that it would work for, that your going to have to have an awful icky hack on that FreeBSD system. My advice here is this: In Internet Connectivity, people assume that "cheap unreliable high-speed ISP connection" + "cheap unreliable high-speed ISP connection" = "reliable cheap high-speed connection" However, this is wrong. There is no such beast as a CHEAP reliable high-speed connection. The three don't mix. If you need high-speed reliability, pay the money for it. If you can't afford it, then either make do with high-speed unreliability, or low-speed reliability.

X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.4.63 (GTK+ 1.2.9; i386--freebsd4.3) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm getting seriously paranoid here! Until yesterday I got a drive that allowed me to read of any files. Now, when I try to read/copy of encrypted vob-files I get 'cp: vts_02_3.vob: Input/output error' and dmesg spews 'acd0: READ_BIG - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=6f ascq=03 error=04'. Ordinary files from the same DVD read just fine though. It still reads unencrypted vob-files though, and I can still play the encrypted DVDs under windows. So what the hell have happened here? I haven't changed anything on my setup. Only thing out of the ordinary is that I tried VideoLAN under BeOS (which was a total failure)... but that shouldn't change anything? Is it the MPAA that's breathing down my neck? Bjarne To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
