I spend my computertime developing, and don't really have much care for my own personal use of multibyte character sets, at least when I playing with the shell or in an editor. I just finished fixing a problem in a host I was logging into, where it was giving me strange characters in a simple make listing. It turned out to be that LANG and LC_ALL were set so that things like quotes (which I would really rather have be the same ' which I'm used to), was the "lsquo" and rsquo" multibyte character sequences. I suppressed the settings of LANG and LC_ALL, and then the problem evaporated. My problem here is that (1) this seemed like it was probably the wrong way to fix the problem, but (2) all the documentation seems to be telling me how to add this sort of thing, not to suppress it. I like it when the correct characters show up in my browser and mail, but not in the shell or editor sessions. What's the right way to get to where I want to be, it's not really to unset those variables, is it? BTW, things are just ducky with the browser and mail already, it's only the shell things which I need to set right. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklya2oACgkQz62J6PPcoOnyIgCgkCeLhCI1t0CAVLnPwdHDDmZI 6h8AoJOCGLSI4b0Oz81OMhiVboB2S9aq =4Lkz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jan 18 00:57:16 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A3B1A1065679 for ; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:57:16 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from slackwarewolf@comcast.net) Received: from QMTA07.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net (qmta07.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net [76.96.30.64]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8D4938FC22 for ; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:57:16 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from slackwarewolf@comcast.net) Received: from OMTA02.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net ([76.96.30.19]) by QMTA07.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net with comcast id 4ePX1b0050QkzPwA7oxH3E; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:57:17 +0000 Received: from [192.168.0.103] ([76.112.93.25]) by OMTA02.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net with comcast id 4oxG1b0010Yq9Sc8NoxGLV; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:57:17 +0000 Message-ID: <49727E6A.8030109@comcast.net> Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 19:57:14 -0500 From: Allen User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (X11/20080922) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <49725DE9.809@comcast.net> <20090118004112.B21458@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> In-Reply-To: <20090118004112.B21458@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: Window Maker directories X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:57:17 -0000 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Wojciech Puchar wrote: >> directories are.

As I found out, 'radeonhd' driver needs Xorg server 1.5.0 or higher when running in 64Bit and FreeBSD's ports are behind with 1.4.X. Therefore I tried VESA driver, but neither radeon, radeonhd nor vesa driver do recognize the board. I sthere any chance of getting Xorg-server 1.5 soon or is there another way making VESA driver recognizing the HD4830? Thnaks in advance, O.

If my exchange server is down for whatever reason, after confTO_QUEUEWARN expires my mailhub sends the sender a delay DSN. Because I consider this mail to have already been accepted into my network, and has been delivered locally at least, can I configure sendmail to NOT send the DSN? Specifically I would like to do this on a per-host basis (ie, turn it off when delays to the exchange server occur, but not for other (future) servers).

The problem being that on one it cant find the traceroute binary (via a perl script hosted on apache 2.2). The www user on both is the FreeBSD default, so has no home directory on either. The /etc/profile is the same on both servers, also the login.conf have the same path value set and there are no /etc/bash files. But still on one server the path is /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin and on the other only /bin:/usr/bin. Can someone tell me where the path may be being set that I havent looked? thanks, Andy. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

I followed your advice and made the whole hard drive into a gigantic partition mounted on /, except that I also created a 20GB swap partition. Everything installed fine, including configuration of the ethernet adapter. So now I'm in on the FreeBSD world.

That however would basicly change the host system in it's inner workings. Now, it would imply some changing of kernel related code base, with decision/distinguish on type of files. And in a case of encrypted file to use the beforehand added open_enc()/close_enc() ... syscall(s). Still this would make it possible to work with normal files, but also apply the functionality of runtime encryption. In difference to an extra layer of fs this possibly would be very unportable on the first thought.Nevertheless, i like the idea.

Thanks for working on the driver! The only difference to the version of gavin that I could see is that the bands in iwn_bands that got commented out were brought back. Or did I miss something? Do you know why they were commented out and it was unnecessary? Or was it just to fix the crash? I did a few test runs: It does not crash immediately as the version from gavin, but the error I had with the perforce version iwn0: error, INTR=82000000 STATUS=0x10000 iwn0: iwn_config: could not set power mode, error 35 is there -- in 3 out of 3 tries. So nothing improved there. (I hit that error on first use in about 50% of the cases before.) Moreover, at 3 out of 4 tries to 'kldunload if_iwn' after hitting the error (after '/etc/rc.d/netif stop iwn0' and 'ifconfig iwn0 down'), there was a crash: 2 page faults and 1 freeze. I have not had that with the perforce version. (Maybe once long ago, but I think I forgot to stop iwn0 at that time.) The one time I actually got the (WPA2) connection up, I was able to transfer with a similar speed as with the perforce version. Thus, for me, there are no improvement over the (old) perforce version. Probably by chance, but I had more crashes. I think the thread on stable@ should rather be continued than the one on questions@, but since Da Rock answered on questions@, I reinclude both.

I just installed FreeBSD7.1-RELEASE a few days ago, and I've been pretty impressed so far. I've been using FreeBSD on and off since 4.0 so I think I can say this: It's not slow at all. It's actually pretty snappy I'd say. I wouldn't listen to someone who's saying it's slow or something. You never know when a user screws with something MAKING it slow to begin with and then complains about it. Happens all the time to tech support people. A user will mess with an option, screw it up, and then complain like it's their fault at the company who makes it. Personally, my advice would be that if you had a machine you aren't using for anything really, or if you have a testing machine already, to install it and make your own conclusion.

One of the strengths of UNIX is that you can use read() on every file, whether it is a regular file, a device or a pipe or a socket. Imagine that you'd have to call different read functions depending on if you're reading a regular file, or a device descriptor etc. That would suck big time. Using separate calls to read from encrypted files would cause just that. > That however would basicly change the host system in it's inner > workings.

The _big_ problem is that every application would have to learn to do that is you want them to be able to read these files. It poses the same problem as encrypting individual files with e.g. gnupg or ccrypt. You have to decrypt them before apps can use the data, because most apps don't know how to handle encrypted files.=20 Whatever security you're trying to achieve, I think this is not the way to go about it. There are several other mechanisms in place that are better suited for applying access restrictions to files; permissions, groups, ACLs, MAC.

The code that was commented out created a situation in which the array of structs (line 2412): static const struct iwn_chan_band iwn_bands[] contained only 2 items. The code following the struct array that obtained the list of authorized channels: /* read the list of authorized channels */ for (i = 0; i < N(iwn_bands)-2; i++) iwn_read_eeprom_band(sc, &iwn_bands[i]); didn't actually get a list of anything, since N(iwn_bands)-2 evaluates to zero in this case. The NULL pointer part comes in when the call to ieee80211_sort_channels() on line 2436 sends a list of no items with a value of 0 for ic->ic_nchans. The backported insertion sort code from 8.0-CURRENT's 802.11 stack fails somewhere because of this value, due to access of some memory address in the chancompar() or swap(?) -- I didn't really dig that far into it. I guess the purpose of commenting out the A channels in the iwn_bands[] was to keep the driver from potentially using them, but honestly, I'm not sure if that's the appropriate way to do that (I'm just getting into this stuff). I'm sure the MFC'd VAP stuff that Sam Leffler is working on will alleviate all of this, but I wanted a working iwn(4) for now ;) On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 4:10 PM, Jan Henrik Sylvester wrote: > Da Rock wrote: >> >> On Sun, 2009-01-18 at 14:17 -0600, Brandon Gooch wrote: >>> >>> I have a working driver for the Intel 4965, aka iwn(4), loaded on my >>> Lenovo X300 running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE (amd64). >>> >>> This driver is a slightly-modified version of the iwn(4) driver >>> backported from 8.0-CURRENT by Gavin Atkinson: >>> >>> >>> http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=221758+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2008/freebsd-stable/20080928.freebsd-stable >>> >>> I was seeing the same symptoms described in these threads (among others): >>> >>> >>> http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-September/045264.html >>> >>> >>> http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1334322+1338147+/usr/local/www/db/text/2009/freebsd-questions/20090118.freebsd-questions >>> >>> >>> http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1418632+1421765+/usr/local/www/db/text/2009/freebsd-questions/20090118.freebsd-questions >>> >>> ...so I debugged and modified Gavin's driver for my system. >>> >>> The driver and the source tree diff can be downloaded here for any >>> brave souls wanting to test it out: >>> >>> http://sites.google.com/site/bsdgooch/files >>> >>> I'm using the driver now to send this e-mail over a link to my TP-LINK >>> TL-WR941ND access point (with WPA2).

One thread is handling the model calculations, and one handles the user's exploration, with appropriate synchronization when changes are made. (We are doing this already, but since the code is C++, only the data can be edited while it's running and inspection is limited to our hacky pseudo-language.) The obvious choice for this was Lua; it hits a lot of the marks, but not all of them and not all well. I got as far as creating a Lua "object" in C++ that exposes some core functionality, which is great, but when it comes to inheritance, and especially multiple inheritance, Lua's object model wasn't thrilling me. Also, it uses setjmp for error handling, which I'm worried will mess around with C++ exceptions; they are already fragile enough in threaded applications. I do like Lua, but I'd really rather find an embedded scripting language designed from the start to support OO, if one exists. Are there other alternatives I should look at? Lua is to C as ______ is to C++? I tried to give Guile a look but a quick poll of the users vetoed the syntax. Lua is clearly ahead in the user-friendly department. I also wondered if Python would be a good choice, but I'm just not sure about how well it handles having new code generated more or less on the fly in the middle of a running application. I somewhat suspect that if it were done in Python, it would end up being a Python app with C++ add-ins, rather than a C++ app with an embedded scripting language. That isn't a deal-breaker, of course, as long as it works; results matter. That's not exactly "lightweight" though, and I'm not sure if (or how) Python sandboxes. One last "wouldn't it be nice" wish... If the user creates something they particularly like on the fly, compositing up an object a piece at a time on the command line, it would be just grand if the scripting language were able to reproduce a class definition for that arbitrary object that could be saved or tweaked for later reference and reuse. If not, we'll just have to abstract the editing process enough to keep one ourselves, which would probably be a bit user-unfriendly but hardly the end of the world. But with a wishlist this long and exotic, I'm afraid the question here is not whether something can do it all, but how disappointed I'm going to be. :-( I'm grateful for any language suggestions or feedback.

Some of these criteria seem to match TCL's design criteria (easy embeddability, relatively user friendly, able to implement methods in a compiled language) but core TCL falls down on the object-orientation side. However there is actually a choice of object models in TCL, with at least one of them [incr TCL] closely modeled on C++'s object model. You might find this worth looking into. I'm not a TCL maven, just worked with it a bit on a past employer's project where it was the primary scripting language for a large commercial hardware-test system. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 19 00:46:22 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D0948106566B for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 00:46:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cliftonr@lava.net) Received: from outgoing02.lava.net (pie.lava.net [IPv6:2001:1888:0:1:230:48ff:fe5b:3b8c]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9E9D58FC14 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 00:46:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cliftonr@lava.net) Received: from malasada.lava.net (malasada.lava.net [64.65.64.17]) by outgoing02.lava.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C737170783 for ; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:46:22 -1000 (HST) Received: by malasada.lava.net (Postfix, from userid 102) id D9981153882; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:46:21 -1000 (HST) Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:46:21 -1000 From: Clifton Royston To: FreeBSD questions Message-ID: <20090119004620.GD26150@lava.net> Mail-Followup-To: FreeBSD questions Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.2i Subject: Recommendations on reliable home fileserver hardware?

I'm not very happy with this approach, because the hardware keeps dying every two years or so. The latest incarnation is getting flakier and flakier and it's time to replace it. I think one problem is that the cooling is lousy on the ones I've used, at least with two hard drives - I've ended up running with the cover off so it won't die rapidly - but maybe there are better ones out there. Can anyone recommend an integrated SFF system or other small case/mobo combination which they're using with FreeBSD 6 or 7, and which is both long-lived and fairly quiet? (It sits on my desk, and near my wife's desk, so the vacuum-cleaner-like noise levels from many 1U servers will not cut it.) As I am running two 200G PATA drives in gmirror - this has saved me twice now - one additional requirement is that it must fit at least two standard 3.5" hard drives and have an IDE interface. (Eventually I may switch over to SATA but would rather not change everything at the same time.) I'd consider running a Mac Mini (tiny, silent, s/b reliable) if it weren't for needing 2+ drives for mirroring. I'm comfortable either building my own system, or buying a packaged system if it offers better value. Any advice would be welcomed. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 19 01:43:29 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9D8BA1065672 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:43:29 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from rock_on_the_web@comcen.com.au) Received: from angel.comcen.com.au (angel.comcen.com.au [203.23.236.69]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 695C28FC18 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:43:29 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from rock_on_the_web@comcen.com.au) Received: from [192.168.0.199] (unknown [202.172.126.254]) by angel.comcen.com.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id AEA715C2ED09 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 12:44:49 +1100 (EST) From: Da Rock To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:43:11 +1000 Message-Id: <1232329391.1138.7.camel@laptop2.herveybayaustralia.com.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.22.3.1 FreeBSD GNOME Team Port Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: age driver cannot handle af18 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:43:30 -0000 Just testing the age driver on 7.1-RELEASE and got this error.

Surprisingly, this driver is now working- despite the fact that it ws having issues previously which changed with the power source. Also est1 on the cpu (dual core, so this issue is on the second core) is still having trouble, and iwn trouble (testing the backported driver for 7.1 thanks to Brandon) seems to be with scanning, so I'm left wondering about my acpi.

I have a Dell GX150 SFF which has been running 24/7 for about two years now with no problems (knock on wood). Right now it's running 7.1-PRERELEASE from November. It's small and very quiet; I like it. You may have issues with: a) it nominally only supports one hard drive, but there are "slimline" spots for optical and diskette drives, so you may be able to commandeer one of those for a second hard drive; b) the machine I have has SATA interface, which is truly nothing to fear. From FreeBSD's standpoint, it looks exactly like ATA. If I were trying to do what you want to do, I'd probably end up with one HD running SATA in the "hard drive" slot, and the other running PATA in the "optical" slot. I don't know if the physical dimensions would work out for that. See the service manual at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx150/sm_en/smdsktp.htm ..and the user guide at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx150/en/ug/index.htm Anyway, I've had good luck so far with Dell desktop hardware; it seems to be well-made, easy to work with and QUIET. Check it out if you can get a machine cheap or free. Hope this helps. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ] From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 19 03:37:25 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4510F106564A for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:37:25 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from stylish62@gmail.com) Received: from mail-bw0-f10.google.com (mail-bw0-f10.google.com [209.85.218.10]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C72EB8FC08 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:37:24 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from stylish62@gmail.com) Received: by bwz3 with SMTP id 3so563441bwz.19 for ; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:37:23 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:date:message-id:subject :from:to:content-type; bh=R54+d+5dumyd3tMg4tAXONRzMbRzedSR/Zzk96f362M=; b=ojOCxr6q30gcMywu7/0Se7M3ioA7VpVZMVr6uM42SSlReUFVQWk7xyj0xRr0hNT/6+ TlOYq8MB0nWu6EO4qDestiKTXhovw+0UVtZ42xhDt7s5cJagVEUv36anGoXFY+14tO+X EGgSagtW/+oCa17zWYDHJv6br4aPp8qD5lMJg= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:date:message-id:subject:from:to:content-type; b=txUc7a6KP+MP79KniN/Uo1qrt6CrVSfS3f0j4boXrDy5Zdrqty3Hp32XiyX7FI9NSP PX4fUkApwQO6hEdmY8QVM3ZftRK4I4OwYPebTy2NDcNxIGFX5+e/mEuO9ak1AfEN8UBx W80QT7TknG/lbFZjD1C6JZt2U81l+3cPE7NTE= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.223.109.200 with SMTP id k8mr2102276fap.44.1232334939651; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:15:39 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:15:39 -0800 Message-ID: <63ad2d770901181915n58149481kcf7e4b6147685d16@mail.gmail.com> From: Jean-Francois Papineau To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Cc: Subject: Booting with high resolution console.

Currently I am only able to apply the videocontrol modes from the "allscreens_flags" in the global configuration file. Is there any way to accomplish this task with the current release of FreeBSD ? I highly suggest that this feature be added to the development of the FreeBSD operating system.

Hummm, that may be a feature from Active directory. When searching in LDAP: attribue=* means the attribute is present and set !(attribute=*) means the attribute is not set or the attribute is not present (this attribute does not exist for that object, or the attribute exist for the object but is not being used) I am not using active directory but OpenLDAP, so I canno help further.

I don't know how your path is being set but it depends on perl & how your script looks. Look at Env(3) & the other perldocs. If you want to do it quick, call traceroute with the path in your scripts e.g: system "/usr/sbin/traceroute $some_host"; There's probably a perl module with a "traceroute" in it but I'm afraid I don't know it offhand.

I'm almost tempted to pull the floppy drive out and stick the hdd in there instead -- but I digress. Taking a little more for desk space, you can always run with 1 internal 3.5" drive, and hook up an external USB drive for the mirror. FreeBSD won't think of it any different, it's just an 'ad' device and a 'da' device. FWIW, this is just another option for you.

Just keep your eyes peeled as the text scrolls past; its not normally too fast that you can't read it. This may not be 100% (or maybe it is...) but if it shows up those tell tale signs here you can be sure its not supported.

Apache sets the environment with SetEnv (or at least 1.3 does, I don't run 2*) as it can't inherit one from user www since it doesn't have one. So have you had a look at httpd.conf and .htaccess on each machine? BTW, one machine uses an "old" PATH with /usr/X11R6/bin in it. That disappeared some time ago. That may or may not be a clue. In short, I think this is probably an Apache question & you might have more informative answers from there. Sorry I can't be more helpful but quite a few Apache people run FreeBSD and they're likely to be more help than I am.

Yes one server is an older =20 FreeBSD 6.1, the other 7.0 so they certainly aren't identical servers. =20 But they do have same version of apache (2.2.9) and same version of =20 the perl script, and as far as I can tell same config for default PATH =20 etc. I had a look and there doesnt appear to be anything setting the =20 path in the apache conifg, perhaps it could be a compiled in default =20 path?! I'll ask the apache experts and see if they can help, thanks again, Andy.

I have loaded up a few 2950-s, same thing in a rack mount. The only problem I had was figuring out the device name for the disks. It has been more than a year, so my memory is fogging a little. But, it seems like dmesg showed both the individual disk devices and the raid device and you could address them either way and I errantly addressed the disk instead of the raid when I first tried to do something with them. Once I figured out what was happening by studying the dmesg more carefully, all was well. The only other thing is that the DRAC is less than hoped for if you got it with one. It really wants to live in MS land and seems to want for security. It was like the people building those DRACs have never heard of anything but MS 'networking' stuff, barely know that the internet exists or that wide open, non-protected connections in to the heart of your system might actually be attacked by some unfriendly entity. I have heard that the code for them has been updated a few times, so it might be a little better, but I won't hold my breath. Anyway, the DRACs don't affect the operation of the rest of the machine as long as you leave them unplugged from the net. So, 2900 should run FreeBSD just fine. ////jerry > > Thanks alot! > Tobias > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 19 16:28:37 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B1A18106566B for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:28:37 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from jerrymc@gizmo.acns.msu.edu) Received: from gizmo.acns.msu.edu (gizmo.acns.msu.edu [35.8.1.43]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 69B848FC13 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:28:37 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from jerrymc@gizmo.acns.msu.edu) Received: from gizmo.acns.msu.edu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by gizmo.acns.msu.edu (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id n0JGRqU0052071; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:27:52 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jerrymc@gizmo.acns.msu.edu) Received: (from jerrymc@localhost) by gizmo.acns.msu.edu (8.13.6/8.13.6/Submit) id n0JGRqda052070; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:27:52 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jerrymc) Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:27:52 -0500 From: Jerry McAllister To: Linda Messerschmidt Message-ID: <20090119162751.GD51908@gizmo.acns.msu.edu> References: <237c27100901181541n412f66c3v24ebae43b9efc313@mail.gmail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <237c27100901181541n412f66c3v24ebae43b9efc313@mail.gmail.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.2i Cc: freebsd-questions Subject: Re: Embedded scripting language advice sought X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:28:38 -0000 On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 06:41:59PM -0500, Linda Messerschmidt wrote: > For a project I'm working on, I need to find an scripting language, and I > have a long wishlist: Oh Oh, you're going to start a religious war now.

There is my the things I tried: I found that link http://devpit.org/wiki/Dump_and_Restore_over_SSH which seemed exactly what I wanted. The problem is that FreeSBIE is not working on this PC (Dell Vostro 220 Slim). It seems to be a problem with the disk controler (can't mount the / partition). So, I decided to install a minimal FreeBSD 7.1 on the PC to be cloned. I'm trying to dump/restore the /usr partition but I got warnings with the files already being present and it finally crashed SSHd just after transfering /usr/lib/libssl.so. After that, there is nothing to do with the PC, SSHd refuse to restart (segmentation fault). The other soon to be a problem is to dump/restore the / partition (the kernel and the others currently used files). My question is how do you clone PC over SSH (it would be too much a PITA to open each case to plug the HD directly in the source PC).

It'll do what the man wants while using ssh to cover security, give really nice running feedback (if the user likes that sort of thing, I do), and because it's basically a lot less general a tool than netcat, it's a bunch simpler for an occaisonal user to figure out the parameters on ... it's made precisely for this sort of job. Of course, it happens to be true that, if you are going to really spend the time to learn one of them, your time'd probably be better spent with netcat, it's got many more things it can do, but like I said, for an occaisonal user, well, I wouldn't have recommended that. Of course, a not terribly big shell script could make nc look like rsync. Reverse isn't true. Just wanted to offer a simpler option. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkl0v5MACgkQz62J6PPcoOlZdACfXxFS+7SclI6Il/6fXYOgd6Vl JsYAn2MhB/5x9VH4JvnVwxWsDHi8SF4N =jKWP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 19 18:12:54 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E60EB106564A for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:12:54 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cliftonr@lava.net) Received: from outgoing01.lava.net (cake.lava.net [IPv6:2001:1888:0:1:230:48ff:fe5b:3b50]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 596158FC1C for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:12:54 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cliftonr@lava.net) Received: from malasada.lava.net (malasada.lava.net [64.65.64.17]) by outgoing01.lava.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id E17AFD009A; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 08:12:48 -1000 (HST) Received: by malasada.lava.net (Postfix, from userid 102) id 7A559153882; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 08:12:48 -1000 (HST) Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 08:12:48 -1000 From: Clifton Royston To: FreeBSD Message-ID: <20090119181247.GA9669@lava.net> Mail-Followup-To: FreeBSD , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <4974B9A2.4070709@optiksecurite.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <4974B9A2.4070709@optiksecurite.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.2i Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Advice for dump/restore over SSH X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:12:55 -0000 On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 12:34:26PM -0500, FreeBSD wrote: > I'm having difficulties trying to clone a FreeBSD 7.1 PC to another > exact same PC over SSH. > > There is my the things I tried: > > I found that link http://devpit.org/wiki/Dump_and_Restore_over_SSH which > seemed exactly what I wanted.

It sounds like you're trying to restore onto the non-empty /usr partition while running programs from that partition. I don't think that is ever likely to work, and I'm not surprised that your sshd crashes and won't restart when you've replaced some-but-not-all of its files. You should restore non-incremental dump backups onto a file system made freshly empty with newfs, which you can do if you bring the system up in single-user mode or boot it from other media like a live CD. This is why the FreeSBIE CD is an essential part of the plan at the link you posted. You will probably have to start again from scratch on the PC you're cloning onto; find some media you can boot it from, or install it to where you can bring it up in single-user and run some listener which is simpler than sshd. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 19 18:17:07 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 304D71065673 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:17:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cswiger@mac.com) Received: from mail-out4.apple.com (mail-out4.apple.com [17.254.13.23]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 15E5B8FC18 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:17:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cswiger@mac.com) Received: from relay14.apple.com (relay14.apple.com [17.128.113.52]) by mail-out4.apple.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id D16794F3F139; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:17:06 -0800 (PST) Received: from relay14.apple.com (unknown [127.0.0.1]) by relay14.apple.com (Symantec Brightmail Gateway) with ESMTP id B7F8828182; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:17:06 -0800 (PST) X-AuditID: 11807134-ac863bb000000ff0-de-4974c3a2c96e Received: from cswiger1.apple.com (cswiger1.apple.com [17.227.140.124]) (using TLSv1 with cipher AES128-SHA (128/128 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by relay14.apple.com (Apple SCV relay) with ESMTP id 86C04280F7; Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:17:06 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <6C9757B2-E4D9-4898-973E-E4C42DCA05B6@mac.com> From: Chuck Swiger To: Scott Aitken In-Reply-To: <20090118085337.GA77758@server-01.thismonkey.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v930.3) Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:17:06 -0800 References: <20090118085337.GA77758@server-01.thismonkey.com> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.930.3) X-Brightmail-Tracker: AAAAAA== Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: disabling queuewarn DSN when mailhub delivers to specific host X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:17:07 -0000 On Jan 18, 2009, at 12:53 AM, Scott Aitken wrote: > If my exchange server is down for whatever reason, after > confTO_QUEUEWARN > expires my mailhub sends the sender a delay DSN. > > Because I consider this mail to have already been accepted into my > network, > and has been delivered locally at least, can I configure sendmail to > NOT send > the DSN? Add: define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN', `6d')dnl ...to your sendmail.mc and rebuild sendmail.cf; this will change the DSN warning period to be longer than the (standard) bounce time, so no warning DSNs will be generated until the final bounce.

I've got my system set up on ad8, and I'm building a RAID0 array using gvinum that will span ad8 and ad10. So for now, I have partitions on ad8 plus a set of volumes on ad10 that I want to move all my data to. Today I was doing a test move of all the data, using dump | restore like this: # dump -0aL -f - /var | ( cd /mnt/var && restore -rf - ) I got about a dozen messages like this: DUMP: read error from /dev/ad8s1d: Bad address: [block 10992192]: count=5120 What is causing this message, and is it a cause for alarm? Here's my bsdlabel for ad8s1: # /dev/ad8s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8 b: 4123872 1048576 swap c: 488279547 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 104857600 5172448 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 e: 2097152 110030048 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 f: 376152347 112127200 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 Thanks in advance for any help.

I love rsync for making backups of huge partitions with slowly changing data. It's absolutely brilliant for that. But in this situation I would not recommend it: 1) The dump/restore combo is the _only_ alternative that supports all the features of UFS2 without special options (e.g. flags, ACLs). 2) Rsync will leave old crap on the destination drive, unless you specifiy the --delete option to rsync, or if you wipe the destination drive beforehand, in which case rsync's overhead is useless.=20 3) Rsync will not tranfers file flags unless compiled with a patch, which is _not_ the default. 4) nc is wickedly fast. When transferring files between my laptop and desktop it easily saturates the 100 Mbit link between them :) 5) Rsync is in ports, which kinda sucks if you have a broken install and need to start from a boot/rescue CD. Dump, restore and nc are part of the base system.

I checked on all my production and test servers (7.0 stable as of quite some time ago) and got the same response. I can't figure out why that port is open. It always returns a reset when a connection is opened. netstat -an does not return any 7070 entries. sockstat does not show any 7070 entries. There is no 7070 entry in /etc/services. ktrace of inetd shows nothing. tcpdump on the server shows the SYN and RST packets only. tcpdump on the client machine shows a complete TCP negotiation completion followed by a termination. The client is going across the internet. Running the client on a machine on the servers LAN shows that the port is not open. And tcpdump from both shows only a SYN followed by a RST. This indicates that some router between the original client and the servers is accepting the connection and then forwarding it on. This doesn't happen on other ports (although there may be a couple others I haven't chased down yet though). The only router we have in the path is a Cisco 2501 running a 2000 vintage IOS with nothing like that in its configuration. Its a simple pass everything through setup.

I have a question regarding mailman.... We have it installed in our freebsd and we have lots of lists for which all we (admins) are owners and the person who requests the list is the moderator...So our implementation is using phpchain and creating password for moderator...send it to him/her and save the random admin pass for us in phpchain.... I was wondering if there is a way to include ldap in this...so we can remove this phpchain and moderator pass...Instead use the ldap credentials.... Any hints, suggestions appreciated....

With some little script like zgrep mfi /var/log/message in your crontab you can known when one disk is in failure. Perhaps you going to have some problem when you installing the raid volume because the FreeBSD installer (in 7.0) cannot make a primary partition on the raid volume. So you just need to make the newfs directly on the all volume For example : /dev/mfid0s1a 507630 220220 246800 47% / /dev/mfid0s1e 16244334 4091194 10853594 27% /usr /dev/mfid0s1d 507630 9194 457826 2% /tmp /dev/mfid0s1f 9135182 91608 8312760 1% /var /dev/mfid0s1g 32493962 784484 29109962 3% /share /dev/mfid1 3545005696 399709368 2861695874 12% /databases is the only problem I found. But it's not big problem. --> APC it's very easy to use cd /usr/ports/sysutils/apcupsd make install and configure the apcupsd that's all. --> ACPI : well what's you want to known ? For me when I push the button on the server FreeBSD make clean shutdown, when I use shutdown -p now FreeBSD make clean poweroff. It's all I need...

When I boot up from the CD, after it detects all of the disks, I start getting messages like: acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left) and so on. Google results suggested that I disable ACPI from the boot menu. This works insofar as I get to the installation menu; however, when I go to partition the disk, it says that no disks were found. Is there a way I can disable ACPI, but set some boot-time variables to help the system find the disk controller? I'm in the process of creating a LiveCD to see if acpidump might help isolate just what the problem is, but if anyone has some advice in the meantime, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The 7.0-RELEASE livefs CD that I had lying around has nc on it. As does the 6.1-RELEASE disc 1 that I also found. So I think all install/lifefs images have nc. I suggest that you get e.g. 7.1-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso or 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso (depending on your hardware architecture) from your nearest ftp mirror.

This error is returned by the auditon() system call when your kernel returns ENOSYS (No such system call) for the auditon() call. It looks like you are running a kernel that does not support auditing but a /usr/bin/login binary that includes audit(4) related calls. If you recently rebuild your kernel to remove AUDIT support, you should install an up to date userland too.

Hi, I just got a new Dell Inspiron 530s, and am having some trouble getting FreeBSD 7.1 installed on it. When I boot up from the CD, after it detects all of the disks, I start getting messages like: acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left) and so on. Google results suggested that I disable ACPI from the boot menu. This works insofar as I get to the installation menu; however, when I go to partition the disk, it says that no disks were found. Is there a way I can disable ACPI, but set some boot-time variables to help the system find the disk controller? I'm in the process of creating a LiveCD to see if acpidump might help isolate just what the problem is, but if anyone has some advice in the meantime, I'd greatly appreciate it. ... time passes ... Booting in safe-mode doesn't have the TIMEOUT - READ_BIG messages, but instead I get an interrupt storm detected. The LiveCD didn't work because when I boot with ACPI disabled, no disks are detected which means that I cannot mount the LiveCD. :( Has anyone found a way to work around this sort of issue before?

I have an iogear kvm switch from around the last time I asked this question here years back, that has usually worked with linux, netbsd, openbsd, macos and windows. Back then to work with freebsd, each time I switched away and back I would login remotely and issue a command to get freebsd to recognize the keyboard again. The newer version of my kvm switch says it has mouse and keyboard emulation, but I can't get a straight answer out of them if that means the OS can tell that they keyboard has disconnected or not. Do you know? Or do you know of a KVM switch, that does that and is suitable for an impoverished person's home computing needs? Also, I read someone's comment on newegg that the mouse emulation only emulates 2 buttons. Do you know if that is true?

I have been using Aten KVM switches for years and been very happy with them. On FreeBSD, the machine is only in console mode, pure TTY. But there are a couple of Linux boxes connected to the KVM, using some type of X window. Switching from one machine to another and back does not need to reissue any command. To my knowledge it works with 3 button mouses (all mouses nowdays have 3 buttons). They have a complete range, from 2 to 8 (or 16?) ports, high end allowing cascading up to 256 CPU on one screen. I have been using only 8 ports, but I beleive their 2 ports are just as reliable. They come with PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse, I have used only PS/2 so far.

This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? I will not give up, because Freebsd stole my heart. Regards, Roy.

I use the following partition scheme: / - on USB /var, /usr, /tmp, /home - on internal HDD using ZFS. Last night after a power failure the system failed to boot with the following error: ... can't find /boot/loader.4th. Entered BIOS and changed the first boot drive to be the second USB from raid. The system boots but it stops here: "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a Loading configuration file /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libutil.so.7: object is not dynamically linked init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec' getty for port /dev/ttyv7: No such file or directory" ttyv[n] in fact where 'n' takes values from 0 - 7. Booted into single user mode, fsck-ed the root partition and tried to mount all the UFS partitions (/var, /usr) from the USB drive but the mount command fails with the "/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libutil.so.7: object is not dynamically linked" error. Is there anything i can do next besides reinstallation? thank you very much and a great day, v From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 10:30:41 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 583961065672 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:30:41 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gdn@fxclub.org) Received: from mx.fxclub.org (mx.fxclub.org [67.227.142.223]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 332D58FC18 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:30:41 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gdn@fxclub.org) Received: from mail.fxclub.org ([78.129.148.74]) by mx.fxclub.org with esmtps (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69 (FreeBSD)) (envelope-from ) id 1LPDsW-000LPq-O0 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:30:40 +0000 Received: from fw-office.fxclub.org ([194.87.53.162] helo=[172.16.1.198]) by mail.fxclub.org with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69 (FreeBSD)) (envelope-from ) id 1LPDjt-0003tz-Tm for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:21:45 +0000 Message-ID: <4975A5B7.3070103@fxclub.org> Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:21:43 +0300 From: =?UTF-8?B?0JPQvtGA0LHQsNGC0L7QstGB0LrQuNC5INCU0LzQuNGC0YDQuNC5?= User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20090112) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Flag: SKIP X-Spam-Yversion: Spamooborona-2.3 Subject: FreeBSD 7.1, skype not work X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:30:41 -0000 Hi people.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact. I won't use ZFS for a long time.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact. I won't use ZFS for a long time.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 15:19:57 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2846E106566B for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:19:57 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from josh.carroll@gmail.com) Received: from mail-bw0-f10.google.com (mail-bw0-f10.google.com [209.85.218.10]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A7FE78FC20 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:19:56 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from josh.carroll@gmail.com) Received: by bwz3 with SMTP id 3so417043bwz.19 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 07:19:55 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:reply-to:in-reply-to :references:date:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type :content-transfer-encoding; bh=BL1XW86UF5VY+LpRqyOjnkqYQ/EDrPTg+6jRcychQUw=; b=PEudgKkmfWJbZxCKxgT+XkOE51U/rrz634wGcTyn0k3xL0Qb3iR6OBO0lVwAU3fbiG X2eG8fuEu+wV5ZKjlGRHqsSjAOMMgqdImEBoYfrkE9DiqgeTP4P/d60hQcHS0jUME+M3 XBYprTGi8dgp/hMnNpaCqrAMEexRidjQSWrx4= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:reply-to:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id :subject:from:to:cc:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; b=N47Whj3S3fS/D0beIBiRnF9dBTopJaifL31xWAqBEypCxo05UddIVbtUnBwncL7Yh8 YCzbqCkEhZ81qnUBJwBnjYHV/NJ0VQ3u6I7dkNSAL3ESpDoS2N6Jok004fhdp8Q087kw mi7vsmGN6B8E2M6wFFl/qA+Vgz5Lazc+8JdwU= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.103.229.12 with SMTP id g12mr3082099mur.87.1232464639071; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 07:17:19 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: <4975DB45.1040407@webrz.net> References: <4975DB45.1040407@webrz.net> Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> From: Josh Carroll To: Jos Chrispijn Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: josh.carroll@gmail.com List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:19:57 -0000 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem. Regards, Roy.

REvcently I moved the monitoring form one server to another, but now the telnet probe only works from the command line. Any probe originating from a cron job gets no data in the reply (normally via mrtg, but I tried a direct telnet call as a cron job and it also got no data as a reply). Yes, the connection is made. mbmon is running on the targets. This is affecting 3 target print servers. I tried running the probe on the original server and it worked as usual. where to look? -- DA Fo rsyth Network Supervisor Principal Technical Officer -- Institute for Water Research http://www.ru.ac.za/institutes/iwr/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 15:47:32 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 387FC106566B for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:47:32 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl [IPv6:2001:4070:101:2::1]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DCA648FC08 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:47:30 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n0KFlLpg018298; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:47:21 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from localhost (wojtek@localhost) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) with ESMTP id n0KFlLkQ018295; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:47:21 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:47:21 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar To: Matias Surdi In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20090120164719.B18283@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Large raid arrays X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:47:32 -0000 gconcat On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Matias Surdi wrote: > Hi, > > I've a host with two large (2Tb and 4 Tb) hardware raid5 arrays. > > For the backup system we are using, I need to join them to make 1 logical > device. > > What would you recomment? ccd or vinum? > > > Thanks a lot for your suggestions. > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 15:48:53 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AB052106571E for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:48:53 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl [IPv6:2001:4070:101:2::1]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 69C4A8FC08 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:48:51 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n0KFmjZZ018309; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:48:45 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from localhost (wojtek@localhost) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) with ESMTP id n0KFmjhx018306; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:48:45 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:48:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar To: Matias Surdi In-Reply-To: <4975B64F.20207@gmail.com> Message-ID: <20090120164747.J18283@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> References: <4975B4E5.7000609@isafeelin.org> <4975B64F.20207@gmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Large raid arrays X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:48:54 -0000 >> > > > ZFS was a disaster. > > That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs > pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. normal. > > Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. > > But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact. indeed. and fsck time can be fast if you correctly set up block size and amount of inodes. i mean not too much inodes and large blocks (32-64K) if you store mostly big files. > I won't use ZFS for a long time. i would recommend never.

What is interesting is that I succeeded to start xinit once, without visible problems. The problem is similar to what was reported here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-81983.html Does anybody know a solution?

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: Jürgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 18:44:53 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 38C9F10656D9 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:44:53 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org) Received: from mail8.sea5.speakeasy.net (mail8.sea5.speakeasy.net [69.17.117.10]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 114ED8FC16 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:44:52 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org) Received: (qmail 23384 invoked from network); 20 Jan 2009 18:44:50 -0000 Received: from dsl092-078-145.bos1.dsl.speakeasy.net (HELO be-well.ilk.org) ([66.92.78.145]) (envelope-sender ) by mail8.sea5.speakeasy.net (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for ; 20 Jan 2009 18:44:49 -0000 Received: by be-well.ilk.org (Postfix, from userid 1147) id 4859A50825; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 (EST) To: Ramiro Caso References: From: Lowell Gilbert Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 In-Reply-To: (Ramiro Caso's message of "Sun\, 18 Jan 2009 22\:19\:59 -0200") Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> User-Agent: Gnus/5.11 (Gnus v5.11) Emacs/22.3 (berkeley-unix) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:44:53 -0000 Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 18:54:59 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E09DF1065689 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:54:59 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from andrewlylegould@gmail.com) Received: from mail-bw0-f15.google.com (mail-bw0-f15.google.com [209.85.218.15]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 339098FC2B for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:54:58 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from andrewlylegould@gmail.com) Received: by bwz8 with SMTP id 8so8604755bwz.12 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:54:58 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:in-reply-to:references :date:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type; bh=jNDvtCUBTvld//OsyQP5MwczPtf6TXU18LcBlQMvf3I=; b=jMx1yjxXzGeD/9pV4Zmh7orlVJbJtjQ3HApvYokp3wzEGeXaTBO+eVml6Jm/Kc4e0Q TgjV55yt+ZGicWpF4KqlldMM5fIkpwVHImSig83dEcIwIebh/z6kgsBMwtug3D3cqVOL TH5csnXS/uyB7gjYZ3l+nCrIHT7M6W2ouk1UI= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type; b=p52MlLbqv+KXMP0m1o1RvvMvFBFEjbS9M8HQJO3Pu7v5HSEtlbsw1qFz3vxwQ9R8LI XWxPAYk7VA0jy2vZsgYwRykUVTpp8RxD5DCLj/dKxuHyMu1EP5hIlQP9m8mN6Nqy2HEZ onUMnB91HGHjo9jd/PcUVaRuuK9Ev3dwIUris= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.103.241.15 with SMTP id t15mr3168518mur.85.1232477635259; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:53:55 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: References: Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 Message-ID: From: Andrew Gould To: Shawn Hoffman Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:55:00 -0000 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

Is this likely coming from a signal error, like a bad cable? Is it random driver lossage? Most importantly, is the ATA driver going to retry and correct this error, or does it mean I'm getting corrupted data on my disks?

Since you'd only gain a megabyte of disk space (probably less) from the change, it's not worth bothering with, frankly...

I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh. Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk. Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to the wheel group?

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it. I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any other than root accounts. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 20:31:25 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4719D1065718 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:31:25 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from steve@ibctech.ca) Received: from ibctech.ca (v6.ibctech.ca [IPv6:2607:f118::b6]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id D061C8FC2C for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:31:24 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from steve@ibctech.ca) Received: (qmail 98393 invoked by uid 89); 20 Jan 2009 20:45:20 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO ?IPv6:2607:f118::5?)

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J�rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade To: Ramiro Caso Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

Is this likely coming from a signal error, like a bad cable? Is it random driver lossage? Most importantly, is the ATA driver going to retry and correct this error, or does it mean I'm getting corrupted data on my disks?

I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh. Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk. Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to the wheel group? ------------------------------ Message: 33 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:45:01 +0700 From: "MDaemon at mail.mcitsh.com" Subject: Permanent Delivery Failure To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The attached message had PERMANENT fatal delivery errors!

The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise to try :) From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 21:59:55 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 62E61106566B; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:59:55 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl [IPv6:2001:4070:101:2::1]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 94C328FC14; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:59:54 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n0KLxkFS019355; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:46 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from localhost (wojtek@localhost) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) with ESMTP id n0KLxjdW019352; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:46 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar To: Eduardo Meyer In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20090120225943.T19343@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Cc: stable@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: switching bsdlabel's label X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:59:56 -0000 yes On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Eduardo Meyer wrote: > Hello, > > I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

Good advice given so far (pw is a good tool, direct editing works) but I'd also suggest you consider installing and using sudo; I always install it on all of my systems and use it probably 10-20 times as often as su. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 20 22:30:48 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CE45310656D9 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:30:48 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from apache@tracker2.aebc.com) Received: from tracker2.aebc.com (xx6651128045.cipherkey.com [66.51.128.45]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9CA318FC22 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:30:48 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from apache@tracker2.aebc.com) Received: from tracker2.aebc.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by tracker2.aebc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id A54C76767BD for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:29:26 -0800 (PST) Received: (from apache@localhost) by tracker2.aebc.com (8.13.8/8.13.8/Submit) id n0KMTQad023693; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:29:26 -0800 From: "AEBC Support via RT" In-Reply-To: <20090120222958.7117A10656E9@hub.freebsd.org> References: <20090120222958.7117A10656E9@hub.freebsd.org> Message-ID: Precedence: bulk X-RT-Loop-Prevention: tracker2.aebc.com RT-Ticket: tracker2.aebc.com #190165 Managed-by: RT 3.8.2 (http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/) RT-Originator: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Auto-Submitted: auto-replied To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" X-RT-Original-Encoding: utf-8 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:29:26 -0800 Subject: [Trouble Ticket #190165] AutoReply: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 24 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Reply-To: support@aebc.com List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:30:49 -0000 Thank you for contacting us.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J���rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade To: Ramiro Caso Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk.

I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a clean drive. The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise to try :) ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: switching bsdlabel's label To: Eduardo Meyer Cc: stable@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120225943.T19343@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed yes On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Eduardo Meyer wrote: > Hello, > > I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?" I have read the appropriate sections of the Handbook, Lehey's _Complete FreeBSD_ (both paragraphs :) ), and Lucas' _Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed.). I have googled and done some searching of this list's archives, and couldn't tease the answer out of them. As you will see, it would be a LOT of work to "just try it", so I don't feel too bad about asking before diving in. I would like to install XFCE on a FreeBSD 7.1 box that is and will remain (for now) offline. No network connection at all. If I have read correctly, this means downloading the appropriate package(s) and using pkg_add. So far, so good (I haven't done it, but it seems clear enough). The package for XFCE4, as listed here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/xfce.html is a "meta-port" (I believe I understand the idea), which seems to have about one hundred (100) dependencies. Of course, some of those will have dependencies of their own, and so on. My question is this: In order to "download/ftp the package" for XFCE4, I would have to obtain all hundred (or so) of the listed files _and_ any dependencies they may have so as to point pkg_add at them locally. Is this correct? If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed should be sufficient). I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ This strongly implies that I can bypass the pkg_add procedure entirely. Might be worth trying, but I'd still like to know if I've understood what the package listing above is saying. Editorial comment and/or general advice on XFCE is not unwelcome. It's just secondary to the question. Thanks in advance, and regards, Tom Holloway. PS: I almost forgot the traditional "PLEASE HELP!!!" ;) But this is not for work and I am not on any deadline whatever.

Is this correct? In short, yes. And this will be quite difficult to get right. *Unless* the machine you actually use to get the packages is also running FreeBSD. You could then pkg_add -r xfce4 on it and then recreate all the required packages and transfer them to the target machine. To recreate the packages: # cd /usr/ports # mkdir packages # cd packages # pkg_create -Rb xfce-x.y.z (hint: use pkg_info -Ix xfce to get the exact name of the xfce metaport to use with pkg_create) The same applies also if you decide to build xfce from Ports. You could still create packages in the same way. Simply copy the packages to a CD or USB drive, and pkg_add on the target machine (note you will not use '-r' on it as all the packages are local) > If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed > should be sufficient). > > I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, > detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here > > > http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ > > This document refers to an older version of XFCE and may not be applicable to the current one.

The default look is somewhat blunt, but it is easy to customize to taste. I also usually install ristretto (picture viewer) thunar-volman-plugin (for mounting USB drives etc) and a few other xfce utilities. It compiles rather quickly on my humble Pentium IV. As a side note, I have a machine specifically for building packages and it just happens that I finished a complete build run today (for FreeBSD 7.1 32bit). This includes XFCE, Xorg, Gnome + power tools + fifth toe, KDE4 (4.1 actually) and few other things. More than 1.5G of packages. I could possibly upload just the XFCE + dependencies packages somewhere so you can download them and use them. Contact me directly if you wish to go down that route.

I've been experimenting with a series scripts that takes ZFS snapshots every minute, eventually destroying the oldest so that only so many remain available for a given window of time. This may seem a trivial concern with hard drive sizes being what they are these days, but after running a "zpool history" I started thinking that a ZFS create and destroy being performed every minute would add up to a lot over the course of a few years (current estimate is 62MB/year for the naming scheme of my snapshots). >From what I understand, ZFS compresses metadata by default, so this history probbaly won't take up much space in the grand scheme of things. However, I was curious just the same about wether or not there was a way to prune down, or limit the size of, the zpool history. Also, is there any substantial performance penalty to having a huge history?

If you don't mind doing this or of you intend to run XFCE on that machine anyway, stop reading now. :-) If you intentionally DON'T want to install XFCE 4 on the machine you want to use to get the packages, how about trying this dirty script? ########################################################################### #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh 2008-08-19 # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 " exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ...

The script does not compile anything, it relies on the pkg_add -r mechanism and the presence of the proper packages on the default server. But please note that it will download any dependency needed recursively, which may lead you to a huge pile of tbz files. Just think about what Gtk 2 will need...

The simpliest way would be to install from one of the three Release-CD's or from the Release-DVD (via /usr/sbin/sysinstall). But I have no idea if XFCE4 is contained in them.

I think sudo makes a lazy admin -- too easy to just run in and hit something. I think sudo is a false sense of security. If a user trusts another, and give sudo access, why not give the whole OS to them? Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with a box with sudo installed. I think it's a very misleading tool. And not to say they do -- but what if the devs put in a keygen...do you monitor the sudo source code? And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a SUID bit to root. Those are the devil's eggs that hatch and just cause havoc. A rogue CGI calling sudo to do something on the website, buffer overflow (with php!) and you've gotten rooted. No, no -- I hate sudo for it's own doing. It's going to eat itself alive. No flames please.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact.

I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine.

But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J���������rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade To: Ramiro Caso Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh. Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk. Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to the wheel group? ------------------------------ Message: 33 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:45:01 +0700 From: "MDaemon at mail.mcitsh.com" Subject: Permanent Delivery Failure To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The attached message had PERMANENT fatal delivery errors!

I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a clean drive. The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise to try :) ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: switching bsdlabel's label To: Eduardo Meyer Cc: stable@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120225943.T19343@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed yes On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Eduardo Meyer wrote: > Hello, > > I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

Holloway" Subject: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE. To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-15 Greetings from newbie land. I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?" I have read the appropriate sections of the Handbook, Lehey's _Complete FreeBSD_ (both paragraphs :) ), and Lucas' _Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed.). I have googled and done some searching of this list's archives, and couldn't tease the answer out of them. As you will see, it would be a LOT of work to "just try it", so I don't feel too bad about asking before diving in. I would like to install XFCE on a FreeBSD 7.1 box that is and will remain (for now) offline. No network connection at all. If I have read correctly, this means downloading the appropriate package(s) and using pkg_add. So far, so good (I haven't done it, but it seems clear enough). The package for XFCE4, as listed here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/xfce.html is a "meta-port" (I believe I understand the idea), which seems to have about one hundred (100) dependencies. Of course, some of those will have dependencies of their own, and so on. My question is this: In order to "download/ftp the package" for XFCE4, I would have to obtain all hundred (or so) of the listed files _and_ any dependencies they may have so as to point pkg_add at them locally. Is this correct? If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed should be sufficient). I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ This strongly implies that I can bypass the pkg_add procedure entirely. Might be worth trying, but I'd still like to know if I've understood what the package listing above is saying. Editorial comment and/or general advice on XFCE is not unwelcome. It's just secondary to the question. Thanks in advance, and regards, Tom Holloway. PS: I almost forgot the traditional "PLEASE HELP!!!" ;) But this is not for work and I am not on any deadline whatever. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:16:45 +0200 From: Manolis Kiagias Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

Is this correct? In short, yes. And this will be quite difficult to get right. *Unless* the machine you actually use to get the packages is also running FreeBSD. You could then pkg_add -r xfce4 on it and then recreate all the required packages and transfer them to the target machine. To recreate the packages: # cd /usr/ports # mkdir packages # cd packages # pkg_create -Rb xfce-x.y.z (hint: use pkg_info -Ix xfce to get the exact name of the xfce metaport to use with pkg_create) The same applies also if you decide to build xfce from Ports. You could still create packages in the same way. Simply copy the packages to a CD or USB drive, and pkg_add on the target machine (note you will not use '-r' on it as all the packages are local) > If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed > should be sufficient). > > I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, > detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here > > > http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ > > This document refers to an older version of XFCE and may not be applicable to the current one.

The default look is somewhat blunt, but it is easy to customize to taste. I also usually install ristretto (picture viewer) thunar-volman-plugin (for mounting USB drives etc) and a few other xfce utilities. It compiles rather quickly on my humble Pentium IV. As a side note, I have a machine specifically for building packages and it just happens that I finished a complete build run today (for FreeBSD 7.1 32bit). This includes XFCE, Xorg, Gnome + power tools + fifth toe, KDE4 (4.1 actually) and few other things. More than 1.5G of packages. I could possibly upload just the XFCE + dependencies packages somewhere so you can download them and use them. Contact me directly if you wish to go down that route. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:58:05 -0000 From: "Graeme Dargie" Subject: Motherboard support To: Message-ID: <01FB8F39BAD0BD49A6D0DA8F78973929560C@Mercury.galaxy.lan.lcl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, I have built a machine with a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, running Freebsd 7.1.

I've been experimenting with a series scripts that takes ZFS snapshots every minute, eventually destroying the oldest so that only so many remain available for a given window of time. This may seem a trivial concern with hard drive sizes being what they are these days, but after running a "zpool history" I started thinking that a ZFS create and destroy being performed every minute would add up to a lot over the course of a few years (current estimate is 62MB/year for the naming scheme of my snapshots). >From what I understand, ZFS compresses metadata by default, so this history probbaly won't take up much space in the grand scheme of things. However, I was curious just the same about wether or not there was a way to prune down, or limit the size of, the zpool history. Also, is there any substantial performance penalty to having a huge history?

If you don't mind doing this or of you intend to run XFCE on that machine anyway, stop reading now. :-) If you intentionally DON'T want to install XFCE 4 on the machine you want to use to get the packages, how about trying this dirty script? ########################################################################### #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh 2008-08-19 # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 " exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ... " if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then echo "$1.tbz already there" exit 1 fi pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1 echo "done" for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}" $0 ${DEP} done rm $1.txt exit 0 ########################################################################### Put this content into a file pkg_download.sh, chmod it +x and then run % ./pkg_download.sh xfce4 And yes, it's a very dirty solution, needlessly complicated, untidy and unfriendly to use, but it will work and bypass the need to install XFCE 4 on the machine to fetch. The script does not compile anything, it relies on the pkg_add -r mechanism and the presence of the proper packages on the default server. But please note that it will download any dependency needed recursively, which may lead you to a huge pile of tbz files. Just think about what Gtk 2 will need... I wrote this script in order to achieve the same goal as it has been requested initially. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:50:33 +0100 From: Peter Ulrich Kruppa Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

The simpliest way would be to install from one of the three Release-CD's or from the Release-DVD (via /usr/sbin/sysinstall). But I have no idea if XFCE4 is contained in them.

According to http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gdswe?l=en&a=view , the zpool history file is between 128K and 32MB, depending on the size of the pool.

I think sudo makes a lazy admin -- too easy to just run in and hit something. I think sudo is a false sense of security. If a user trusts another, and give sudo access, why not give the whole OS to them? Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with a box with sudo installed. I think it's a very misleading tool. And not to say they do -- but what if the devs put in a keygen...do you monitor the sudo source code? And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a SUID bit to root. Those are the devil's eggs that hatch and just cause havoc. A rogue CGI calling sudo to do something on the website, buffer overflow (with php!) and you've gotten rooted. No, no -- I hate sudo for it's own doing. It's going to eat itself alive.

Do you know if that is true? I have an IOGEAR GCS632U -- a two-port USB KVM switch. It works great for me, but be forewarned that using a wireless mouse-and-keyboard set that both uses the same USB dongle as the receiver for both IO devices it probably won't work very well. Even though I have a mouse and keyboard that are part of a matched set using the same dongle, I have to use a different mouse with that keyboard so I can plug the mouse into the mouse port on the KVM switch and the keyboard's wireless dongle into the keyboard port on the KVM switch. Otherwise, it works great -- I just hit scroll lock twice, and it switches between a FreeBSD desktop tower and an MS Windows desktop tower. --=20 Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Antony Jay: "In corporate religions as in others, the heretic must be cast out not because of the probability that he is wrong but because of the possibility that he is right." --LQksG6bCIzRHxTLp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkl2wtMACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKV2mgCfbczC1EG6Zu1ZB7XGbx7HGbG0 HmcAoN2ajBYbUaBJIRYMFHOLS+lzy0yC =fttD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LQksG6bCIzRHxTLp-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jan 21 06:40:06 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B8901065676 for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:40:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from apache@tracker2.aebc.com) Received: from tracker2.aebc.com (xx6651128045.cipherkey.com [66.51.128.45]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 088C88FC34 for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:40:05 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from apache@tracker2.aebc.com) Received: from tracker2.aebc.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by tracker2.aebc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id AFD4D6768C8 for ; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:38:41 -0800 (PST) Received: (from apache@localhost) by tracker2.aebc.com (8.13.8/8.13.8/Submit) id n0L6cfin026492; Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:38:41 -0800 From: "AEBC Support via RT" In-Reply-To: <20090121063945.784F710656C2@hub.freebsd.org> References: <20090121063945.784F710656C2@hub.freebsd.org> Message-ID: Precedence: bulk X-RT-Loop-Prevention: tracker2.aebc.com RT-Ticket: tracker2.aebc.com #190335 Managed-by: RT 3.8.2 (http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/) RT-Originator: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Auto-Submitted: auto-replied To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" X-RT-Original-Encoding: utf-8 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:38:41 -0800 Subject: [Trouble Ticket #190335] AutoReply: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 26 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Reply-To: support@aebc.com List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:40:06 -0000 Thank you for contacting us.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J���������������������������rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade To: Ramiro Caso Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh. Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk. Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to the wheel group? ------------------------------ Message: 33 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:45:01 +0700 From: "MDaemon at mail.mcitsh.com" Subject: Permanent Delivery Failure To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The attached message had PERMANENT fatal delivery errors!

I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a clean drive. The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise to try :) ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: switching bsdlabel's label To: Eduardo Meyer Cc: stable@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120225943.T19343@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed yes On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Eduardo Meyer wrote: > Hello, > > I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

Holloway" Subject: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE. To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-15 Greetings from newbie land. I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?" I have read the appropriate sections of the Handbook, Lehey's _Complete FreeBSD_ (both paragraphs :) ), and Lucas' _Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed.). I have googled and done some searching of this list's archives, and couldn't tease the answer out of them. As you will see, it would be a LOT of work to "just try it", so I don't feel too bad about asking before diving in. I would like to install XFCE on a FreeBSD 7.1 box that is and will remain (for now) offline. No network connection at all. If I have read correctly, this means downloading the appropriate package(s) and using pkg_add. So far, so good (I haven't done it, but it seems clear enough). The package for XFCE4, as listed here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/xfce.html is a "meta-port" (I believe I understand the idea), which seems to have about one hundred (100) dependencies. Of course, some of those will have dependencies of their own, and so on. My question is this: In order to "download/ftp the package" for XFCE4, I would have to obtain all hundred (or so) of the listed files _and_ any dependencies they may have so as to point pkg_add at them locally. Is this correct? If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed should be sufficient). I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ This strongly implies that I can bypass the pkg_add procedure entirely. Might be worth trying, but I'd still like to know if I've understood what the package listing above is saying. Editorial comment and/or general advice on XFCE is not unwelcome. It's just secondary to the question. Thanks in advance, and regards, Tom Holloway. PS: I almost forgot the traditional "PLEASE HELP!!!" ;) But this is not for work and I am not on any deadline whatever. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:16:45 +0200 From: Manolis Kiagias Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

Is this correct? In short, yes. And this will be quite difficult to get right. *Unless* the machine you actually use to get the packages is also running FreeBSD. You could then pkg_add -r xfce4 on it and then recreate all the required packages and transfer them to the target machine. To recreate the packages: # cd /usr/ports # mkdir packages # cd packages # pkg_create -Rb xfce-x.y.z (hint: use pkg_info -Ix xfce to get the exact name of the xfce metaport to use with pkg_create) The same applies also if you decide to build xfce from Ports. You could still create packages in the same way. Simply copy the packages to a CD or USB drive, and pkg_add on the target machine (note you will not use '-r' on it as all the packages are local) > If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed > should be sufficient). > > I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, > detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here > > > http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ > > This document refers to an older version of XFCE and may not be applicable to the current one.

The default look is somewhat blunt, but it is easy to customize to taste. I also usually install ristretto (picture viewer) thunar-volman-plugin (for mounting USB drives etc) and a few other xfce utilities. It compiles rather quickly on my humble Pentium IV. As a side note, I have a machine specifically for building packages and it just happens that I finished a complete build run today (for FreeBSD 7.1 32bit). This includes XFCE, Xorg, Gnome + power tools + fifth toe, KDE4 (4.1 actually) and few other things. More than 1.5G of packages. I could possibly upload just the XFCE + dependencies packages somewhere so you can download them and use them. Contact me directly if you wish to go down that route. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:58:05 -0000 From: "Graeme Dargie" Subject: Motherboard support To: Message-ID: <01FB8F39BAD0BD49A6D0DA8F78973929560C@Mercury.galaxy.lan.lcl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, I have built a machine with a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, running Freebsd 7.1.

I've been experimenting with a series scripts that takes ZFS snapshots every minute, eventually destroying the oldest so that only so many remain available for a given window of time. This may seem a trivial concern with hard drive sizes being what they are these days, but after running a "zpool history" I started thinking that a ZFS create and destroy being performed every minute would add up to a lot over the course of a few years (current estimate is 62MB/year for the naming scheme of my snapshots). >From what I understand, ZFS compresses metadata by default, so this history probbaly won't take up much space in the grand scheme of things. However, I was curious just the same about wether or not there was a way to prune down, or limit the size of, the zpool history. Also, is there any substantial performance penalty to having a huge history?

If you don't mind doing this or of you intend to run XFCE on that machine anyway, stop reading now. :-) If you intentionally DON'T want to install XFCE 4 on the machine you want to use to get the packages, how about trying this dirty script? ########################################################################### #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh 2008-08-19 # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 " exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ... " if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then echo "$1.tbz already there" exit 1 fi pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1 echo "done" for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}" $0 ${DEP} done rm $1.txt exit 0 ########################################################################### Put this content into a file pkg_download.sh, chmod it +x and then run % ./pkg_download.sh xfce4 And yes, it's a very dirty solution, needlessly complicated, untidy and unfriendly to use, but it will work and bypass the need to install XFCE 4 on the machine to fetch. The script does not compile anything, it relies on the pkg_add -r mechanism and the presence of the proper packages on the default server. But please note that it will download any dependency needed recursively, which may lead you to a huge pile of tbz files. Just think about what Gtk 2 will need... I wrote this script in order to achieve the same goal as it has been requested initially. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:50:33 +0100 From: Peter Ulrich Kruppa Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

The simpliest way would be to install from one of the three Release-CD's or from the Release-DVD (via /usr/sbin/sysinstall). But I have no idea if XFCE4 is contained in them. Perhaps someone could look this up for you?

I think sudo makes a lazy admin -- too easy to just run in and hit something. I think sudo is a false sense of security. If a user trusts another, and give sudo access, why not give the whole OS to them? Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with a box with sudo installed. I think it's a very misleading tool. And not to say they do -- but what if the devs put in a keygen...do you monitor the sudo source code? And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a SUID bit to root. Those are the devil's eggs that hatch and just cause havoc. A rogue CGI calling sudo to do something on the website, buffer overflow (with php!) and you've gotten rooted. No, no -- I hate sudo for it's own doing. It's going to eat itself alive.

It works great for me, but be forewarned that using a wireless mouse-and-keyboard set that both uses the same USB dongle as the receiver for both IO devices it probably won't work very well. Even though I have a mouse and keyboard that are part of a matched set using the same dongle, I have to use a different mouse with that keyboard so I can plug the mouse into the mouse port on the KVM switch and the keyboard's wireless dongle into the keyboard port on the KVM switch. Otherwise, it works great -- I just hit scroll lock twice, and it switches between a FreeBSD desktop tower and an MS Windows desktop tower. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Antony Jay: "In corporate religions as in others, the heretic must be cast out not because of the probability that he is wrong but because of the possibility that he is right." -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J���������������������������������������������������������������������������������rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade To: Ramiro Caso Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh. Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk. Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to the wheel group? ------------------------------ Message: 33 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:45:01 +0700 From: "MDaemon at mail.mcitsh.com" Subject: Permanent Delivery Failure To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The attached message had PERMANENT fatal delivery errors!

I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a clean drive. The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise to try :) ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: switching bsdlabel's label To: Eduardo Meyer Cc: stable@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120225943.T19343@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed yes On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Eduardo Meyer wrote: > Hello, > > I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

Holloway" Subject: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE. To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-15 Greetings from newbie land. I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?" I have read the appropriate sections of the Handbook, Lehey's _Complete FreeBSD_ (both paragraphs :) ), and Lucas' _Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed.). I have googled and done some searching of this list's archives, and couldn't tease the answer out of them. As you will see, it would be a LOT of work to "just try it", so I don't feel too bad about asking before diving in. I would like to install XFCE on a FreeBSD 7.1 box that is and will remain (for now) offline. No network connection at all. If I have read correctly, this means downloading the appropriate package(s) and using pkg_add. So far, so good (I haven't done it, but it seems clear enough). The package for XFCE4, as listed here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/xfce.html is a "meta-port" (I believe I understand the idea), which seems to have about one hundred (100) dependencies. Of course, some of those will have dependencies of their own, and so on. My question is this: In order to "download/ftp the package" for XFCE4, I would have to obtain all hundred (or so) of the listed files _and_ any dependencies they may have so as to point pkg_add at them locally. Is this correct? If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed should be sufficient). I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ This strongly implies that I can bypass the pkg_add procedure entirely. Might be worth trying, but I'd still like to know if I've understood what the package listing above is saying. Editorial comment and/or general advice on XFCE is not unwelcome. It's just secondary to the question. Thanks in advance, and regards, Tom Holloway. PS: I almost forgot the traditional "PLEASE HELP!!!" ;) But this is not for work and I am not on any deadline whatever. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:16:45 +0200 From: Manolis Kiagias Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

Is this correct? In short, yes. And this will be quite difficult to get right. *Unless* the machine you actually use to get the packages is also running FreeBSD. You could then pkg_add -r xfce4 on it and then recreate all the required packages and transfer them to the target machine. To recreate the packages: # cd /usr/ports # mkdir packages # cd packages # pkg_create -Rb xfce-x.y.z (hint: use pkg_info -Ix xfce to get the exact name of the xfce metaport to use with pkg_create) The same applies also if you decide to build xfce from Ports. You could still create packages in the same way. Simply copy the packages to a CD or USB drive, and pkg_add on the target machine (note you will not use '-r' on it as all the packages are local) > If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed > should be sufficient). > > I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, > detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here > > > http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ > > This document refers to an older version of XFCE and may not be applicable to the current one.

The default look is somewhat blunt, but it is easy to customize to taste. I also usually install ristretto (picture viewer) thunar-volman-plugin (for mounting USB drives etc) and a few other xfce utilities. It compiles rather quickly on my humble Pentium IV. As a side note, I have a machine specifically for building packages and it just happens that I finished a complete build run today (for FreeBSD 7.1 32bit). This includes XFCE, Xorg, Gnome + power tools + fifth toe, KDE4 (4.1 actually) and few other things. More than 1.5G of packages. I could possibly upload just the XFCE + dependencies packages somewhere so you can download them and use them. Contact me directly if you wish to go down that route. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:58:05 -0000 From: "Graeme Dargie" Subject: Motherboard support To: Message-ID: <01FB8F39BAD0BD49A6D0DA8F78973929560C@Mercury.galaxy.lan.lcl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, I have built a machine with a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, running Freebsd 7.1.

I've been experimenting with a series scripts that takes ZFS snapshots every minute, eventually destroying the oldest so that only so many remain available for a given window of time. This may seem a trivial concern with hard drive sizes being what they are these days, but after running a "zpool history" I started thinking that a ZFS create and destroy being performed every minute would add up to a lot over the course of a few years (current estimate is 62MB/year for the naming scheme of my snapshots). >From what I understand, ZFS compresses metadata by default, so this history probbaly won't take up much space in the grand scheme of things. However, I was curious just the same about wether or not there was a way to prune down, or limit the size of, the zpool history. Also, is there any substantial performance penalty to having a huge history?

If you don't mind doing this or of you intend to run XFCE on that machine anyway, stop reading now. :-) If you intentionally DON'T want to install XFCE 4 on the machine you want to use to get the packages, how about trying this dirty script? ########################################################################### #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh 2008-08-19 # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 " exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ... " if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then echo "$1.tbz already there" exit 1 fi pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1 echo "done" for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}" $0 ${DEP} done rm $1.txt exit 0 ########################################################################### Put this content into a file pkg_download.sh, chmod it +x and then run % ./pkg_download.sh xfce4 And yes, it's a very dirty solution, needlessly complicated, untidy and unfriendly to use, but it will work and bypass the need to install XFCE 4 on the machine to fetch. The script does not compile anything, it relies on the pkg_add -r mechanism and the presence of the proper packages on the default server. But please note that it will download any dependency needed recursively, which may lead you to a huge pile of tbz files. Just think about what Gtk 2 will need... I wrote this script in order to achieve the same goal as it has been requested initially. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:50:33 +0100 From: Peter Ulrich Kruppa Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

The simpliest way would be to install from one of the three Release-CD's or from the Release-DVD (via /usr/sbin/sysinstall). But I have no idea if XFCE4 is contained in them. Perhaps someone could look this up for you?

I think sudo makes a lazy admin -- too easy to just run in and hit something. I think sudo is a false sense of security. If a user trusts another, and give sudo access, why not give the whole OS to them? Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with a box with sudo installed. I think it's a very misleading tool. And not to say they do -- but what if the devs put in a keygen...do you monitor the sudo source code? And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a SUID bit to root. Those are the devil's eggs that hatch and just cause havoc. A rogue CGI calling sudo to do something on the website, buffer overflow (with php!) and you've gotten rooted. No, no -- I hate sudo for it's own doing. It's going to eat itself alive.

It works great for me, but be forewarned that using a wireless mouse-and-keyboard set that both uses the same USB dongle as the receiver for both IO devices it probably won't work very well. Even though I have a mouse and keyboard that are part of a matched set using the same dongle, I have to use a different mouse with that keyboard so I can plug the mouse into the mouse port on the KVM switch and the keyboard's wireless dongle into the keyboard port on the KVM switch. Otherwise, it works great -- I just hit scroll lock twice, and it switches between a FreeBSD desktop tower and an MS Windows desktop tower. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Antony Jay: "In corporate religions as in others, the heretic must be cast out not because of the probability that he is wrong but because of the possibility that he is right." -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade To: Ramiro Caso Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh. Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk. Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to the wheel group? ------------------------------ Message: 33 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:45:01 +0700 From: "MDaemon at mail.mcitsh.com" Subject: Permanent Delivery Failure To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The attached message had PERMANENT fatal delivery errors!

I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a clean drive. The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise to try :) ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: switching bsdlabel's label To: Eduardo Meyer Cc: stable@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120225943.T19343@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed yes On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Eduardo Meyer wrote: > Hello, > > I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-15 Greetings from newbie land. I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?" I have read the appropriate sections of the Handbook, Lehey's _Complete FreeBSD_ (both paragraphs :) ), and Lucas' _Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed.). I have googled and done some searching of this list's archives, and couldn't tease the answer out of them. As you will see, it would be a LOT of work to "just try it", so I don't feel too bad about asking before diving in. I would like to install XFCE on a FreeBSD 7.1 box that is and will remain (for now) offline. No network connection at all. If I have read correctly, this means downloading the appropriate package(s) and using pkg_add. So far, so good (I haven't done it, but it seems clear enough). The package for XFCE4, as listed here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/xfce.html is a "meta-port" (I believe I understand the idea), which seems to have about one hundred (100) dependencies. Of course, some of those will have dependencies of their own, and so on. My question is this: In order to "download/ftp the package" for XFCE4, I would have to obtain all hundred (or so) of the listed files _and_ any dependencies they may have so as to point pkg_add at them locally. Is this correct? If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed should be sufficient). I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ This strongly implies that I can bypass the pkg_add procedure entirely. Might be worth trying, but I'd still like to know if I've understood what the package listing above is saying. Editorial comment and/or general advice on XFCE is not unwelcome. It's just secondary to the question. Thanks in advance, and regards, Tom Holloway. PS: I almost forgot the traditional "PLEASE HELP!!!" ;) But this is not for work and I am not on any deadline whatever. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:16:45 +0200 From: Manolis Kiagias Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

Is this correct? In short, yes. And this will be quite difficult to get right. *Unless* the machine you actually use to get the packages is also running FreeBSD. You could then pkg_add -r xfce4 on it and then recreate all the required packages and transfer them to the target machine. To recreate the packages: # cd /usr/ports # mkdir packages # cd packages # pkg_create -Rb xfce-x.y.z (hint: use pkg_info -Ix xfce to get the exact name of the xfce metaport to use with pkg_create) The same applies also if you decide to build xfce from Ports. You could still create packages in the same way. Simply copy the packages to a CD or USB drive, and pkg_add on the target machine (note you will not use '-r' on it as all the packages are local) > If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed > should be sufficient). > > I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, > detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here > > > http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ > > This document refers to an older version of XFCE and may not be applicable to the current one.

The default look is somewhat blunt, but it is easy to customize to taste. I also usually install ristretto (picture viewer) thunar-volman-plugin (for mounting USB drives etc) and a few other xfce utilities. It compiles rather quickly on my humble Pentium IV. As a side note, I have a machine specifically for building packages and it just happens that I finished a complete build run today (for FreeBSD 7.1 32bit). This includes XFCE, Xorg, Gnome + power tools + fifth toe, KDE4 (4.1 actually) and few other things. More than 1.5G of packages. I could possibly upload just the XFCE + dependencies packages somewhere so you can download them and use them.

I've been experimenting with a series scripts that takes ZFS snapshots every minute, eventually destroying the oldest so that only so many remain available for a given window of time. This may seem a trivial concern with hard drive sizes being what they are these days, but after running a "zpool history" I started thinking that a ZFS create and destroy being performed every minute would add up to a lot over the course of a few years (current estimate is 62MB/year for the naming scheme of my snapshots). >From what I understand, ZFS compresses metadata by default, so this history probbaly won't take up much space in the grand scheme of things. However, I was curious just the same about wether or not there was a way to prune down, or limit the size of, the zpool history. Also, is there any substantial performance penalty to having a huge history?

If you don't mind doing this or of you intend to run XFCE on that machine anyway, stop reading now. :-) If you intentionally DON'T want to install XFCE 4 on the machine you want to use to get the packages, how about trying this dirty script? ########################################################################### #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh 2008-08-19 # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 " exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ... " if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then echo "$1.tbz already there" exit 1 fi pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1 echo "done" for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}" $0 ${DEP} done rm $1.txt exit 0 ########################################################################### Put this content into a file pkg_download.sh, chmod it +x and then run % ./pkg_download.sh xfce4 And yes, it's a very dirty solution, needlessly complicated, untidy and unfriendly to use, but it will work and bypass the need to install XFCE 4 on the machine to fetch. The script does not compile anything, it relies on the pkg_add -r mechanism and the presence of the proper packages on the default server. But please note that it will download any dependency needed recursively, which may lead you to a huge pile of tbz files. Just think about what Gtk 2 will need... I wrote this script in order to achieve the same goal as it has been requested initially. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:50:33 +0100 From: Peter Ulrich Kruppa Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

The simpliest way would be to install from one of the three Release-CD's or from the Release-DVD (via /usr/sbin/sysinstall). But I have no idea if XFCE4 is contained in them.

I think sudo makes a lazy admin -- too easy to just run in and hit something. I think sudo is a false sense of security. If a user trusts another, and give sudo access, why not give the whole OS to them? Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with a box with sudo installed. I think it's a very misleading tool. And not to say they do -- but what if the devs put in a keygen...do you monitor the sudo source code? And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a SUID bit to root. Those are the devil's eggs that hatch and just cause havoc. A rogue CGI calling sudo to do something on the website, buffer overflow (with php!) and you've gotten rooted. No, no -- I hate sudo for it's own doing. It's going to eat itself alive.

Do you know if that is true? I have an IOGEAR GCS632U -- a two-port USB KVM switch. It works great for me, but be forewarned that using a wireless mouse-and-keyboard set that both uses the same USB dongle as the receiver for both IO devices it probably won't work very well. Even though I have a mouse and keyboard that are part of a matched set using the same dongle, I have to use a different mouse with that keyboard so I can plug the mouse into the mouse port on the KVM switch and the keyboard's wireless dongle into the keyboard port on the KVM switch. Otherwise, it works great -- I just hit scroll lock twice, and it switches between a FreeBSD desktop tower and an MS Windows desktop tower. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Antony Jay: "In corporate religions as in others, the heretic must be cast out not because of the probability that he is wrong but because of the possibility that he is right." -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it. I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any other than root accounts. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:31:09 -0500 From: Steve Bertrand Subject: Re: Edit user groups To: Akenner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4976348D.4010502@ibctech.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Akenner wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up. > I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made > some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway > heh. > > Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default > doesn't allow just anyone to use su. > > I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever > you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the > password and go.

Yes. # ee /etc/group ...and add your username to the list of users after the wheel group. For instance, by default, the entry will appear as such: wheel:*:0:root ...and if my username is steve, you will append the line like this: wheel:*:0:root,steve ...then hit ESC, then ENTER twice.

Two drives ad4 and ad6 are arranged with gmirror as the operating system (7.1 Stable).

The problem has nothing to do with ports.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

Perhaps I should delete some other temp > files as well? Before I learned to run portupgrade in a screen session, I never had a problem just running portupgrade again. If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿ ½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿! ½ï¿½ï¿½ï ¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:44:48 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade To: Ramiro Caso Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44priholzz.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ramiro Caso writes: > I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before > making an upgrade.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

Is this likely coming from a signal error, like a bad cable? Is it random driver lossage?

I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh. Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default doesn't allow just anyone to use su. I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk. Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to the wheel group? ------------------------------ Message: 33 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:45:01 +0700 From: "MDaemon at mail.mcitsh.com" Subject: Permanent Delivery Failure To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The attached message had PERMANENT fatal delivery errors!

I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a clean drive. The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S.

Holloway" Subject: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE. To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-15 Greetings from newbie land. I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?" I have read the appropriate sections of the Handbook, Lehey's _Complete FreeBSD_ (both paragraphs :) ), and Lucas' _Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed.). I have googled and done some searching of this list's archives, and couldn't tease the answer out of them. As you will see, it would be a LOT of work to "just try it", so I don't feel too bad about asking before diving in. I would like to install XFCE on a FreeBSD 7.1 box that is and will remain (for now) offline. No network connection at all. If I have read correctly, this means downloading the appropriate package(s) and using pkg_add. So far, so good (I haven't done it, but it seems clear enough). The package for XFCE4, as listed here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/xfce.html is a "meta-port" (I believe I understand the idea), which seems to have about one hundred (100) dependencies. Of course, some of those will have dependencies of their own, and so on. My question is this: In order to "download/ftp the package" for XFCE4, I would have to obtain all hundred (or so) of the listed files _and_ any dependencies they may have so as to point pkg_add at them locally. Is this correct? If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed should be sufficient). I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ This strongly implies that I can bypass the pkg_add procedure entirely. Might be worth trying, but I'd still like to know if I've understood what the package listing above is saying. Editorial comment and/or general advice on XFCE is not unwelcome. It's just secondary to the question. Thanks in advance, and regards, Tom Holloway. PS: I almost forgot the traditional "PLEASE HELP!!!" ;) But this is not for work and I am not on any deadline whatever. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:16:45 +0200 From: Manolis Kiagias Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

Is this correct? In short, yes. And this will be quite difficult to get right. *Unless* the machine you actually use to get the packages is also running FreeBSD. You could then pkg_add -r xfce4 on it and then recreate all the required packages and transfer them to the target machine. To recreate the packages: # cd /usr/ports # mkdir packages # cd packages # pkg_create -Rb xfce-x.y.z (hint: use pkg_info -Ix xfce to get the exact name of the xfce metaport to use with pkg_create) The same applies also if you decide to build xfce from Ports. You could still create packages in the same way. Simply copy the packages to a CD or USB drive, and pkg_add on the target machine (note you will not use '-r' on it as all the packages are local) > If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed > should be sufficient). > > I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, > detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here > > > http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ > > This document refers to an older version of XFCE and may not be applicable to the current one.

The default look is somewhat blunt, but it is easy to customize to taste. I also usually install ristretto (picture viewer) thunar-volman-plugin (for mounting USB drives etc) and a few other xfce utilities. It compiles rather quickly on my humble Pentium IV. As a side note, I have a machine specifically for building packages and it just happens that I finished a complete build run today (for FreeBSD 7.1 32bit). This includes XFCE, Xorg, Gnome + power tools + fifth toe, KDE4 (4.1 actually) and few other things. More than 1.5G of packages. I could possibly upload just the XFCE + dependencies packages somewhere so you can download them and use them. Contact me directly if you wish to go down that route. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:58:05 -0000 From: "Graeme Dargie" Subject: Motherboard support To: Message-ID: <01FB8F39BAD0BD49A6D0DA8F78973929560C@Mercury.galaxy.lan.lcl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, I have built a machine with a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, running Freebsd 7.1.

I've been experimenting with a series scripts that takes ZFS snapshots every minute, eventually destroying the oldest so that only so many remain available for a given window of time. This may seem a trivial concern with hard drive sizes being what they are these days, but after running a "zpool history" I started thinking that a ZFS create and destroy being performed every minute would add up to a lot over the course of a few years (current estimate is 62MB/year for the naming scheme of my snapshots). >From what I understand, ZFS compresses metadata by default, so this history probbaly won't take up much space in the grand scheme of things. However, I was curious just the same about wether or not there was a way to prune down, or limit the size of, the zpool history. Also, is there any substantial performance penalty to having a huge history?

If you don't mind doing this or of you intend to run XFCE on that machine anyway, stop reading now. :-) If you intentionally DON'T want to install XFCE 4 on the machine you want to use to get the packages, how about trying this dirty script? ########################################################################### #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh 2008-08-19 # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 " exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ... " if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then echo "$1.tbz already there" exit 1 fi pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1 echo "done" for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}" $0 ${DEP} done rm $1.txt exit 0 ########################################################################### Put this content into a file pkg_download.sh, chmod it +x and then run % ./pkg_download.sh xfce4 And yes, it's a very dirty solution, needlessly complicated, untidy and unfriendly to use, but it will work and bypass the need to install XFCE 4 on the machine to fetch. The script does not compile anything, it relies on the pkg_add -r mechanism and the presence of the proper packages on the default server. But please note that it will download any dependency needed recursively, which may lead you to a huge pile of tbz files. Just think about what Gtk 2 will need... I wrote this script in order to achieve the same goal as it has been requested initially. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:50:33 +0100 From: Peter Ulrich Kruppa Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

The simpliest way would be to install from one of the three Release-CD's or from the Release-DVD (via /usr/sbin/sysinstall). But I have no idea if XFCE4 is contained in them. Perhaps someone could look this up for you?

I think sudo makes a lazy admin -- too easy to just run in and hit something. I think sudo is a false sense of security. If a user trusts another, and give sudo access, why not give the whole OS to them? Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with a box with sudo installed. I think it's a very misleading tool. And not to say they do -- but what if the devs put in a keygen...do you monitor the sudo source code? And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a SUID bit to root. Those are the devil's eggs that hatch and just cause havoc. A rogue CGI calling sudo to do something on the website, buffer overflow (with php!) and you've gotten rooted. No, no -- I hate sudo for it's own doing. It's going to eat itself alive.

Do you know if that is true? I have an IOGEAR GCS632U -- a two-port USB KVM switch. It works great for me, but be forewarned that using a wireless mouse-and-keyboard set that both uses the same USB dongle as the receiver for both IO devices it probably won't work very well. Even though I have a mouse and keyboard that are part of a matched set using the same dongle, I have to use a different mouse with that keyboard so I can plug the mouse into the mouse port on the KVM switch and the keyboard's wireless dongle into the keyboard port on the KVM switch. Otherwise, it works great -- I just hit scroll lock twice, and it switches between a FreeBSD desktop tower and an MS Windows desktop tower. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Antony Jay: "In corporate religions as in others, the heretic must be cast out not because of the probability that he is wrong but because of the possibility that he is right." -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it. I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any other than root accounts. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:31:09 -0500 From: Steve Bertrand Subject: Re: Edit user groups To: Akenner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4976348D.4010502@ibctech.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Akenner wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up. > I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made > some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway > heh. > > Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default > doesn't allow just anyone to use su. > > I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever > you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the > password and go.

Yes. # ee /etc/group ...and add your username to the list of users after the wheel group. For instance, by default, the entry will appear as such: wheel:*:0:root ...and if my username is steve, you will append the line like this: wheel:*:0:root,steve ...then hit ESC, then ENTER twice.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact. I won't use ZFS for a long time. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:10:13 +0100 From: Jos Chrispijn Subject: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4975DB45.1040407@webrz.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted?

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

REvcently I moved the monitoring form one server to another, but now the telnet probe only works from the command line. Any probe originating from a cron job gets no data in the reply (normally via mrtg, but I tried a direct telnet call as a cron job and it also got no data as a reply). Yes, the connection is made. mbmon is running on the targets. This is affecting 3 target print servers. I tried running the probe on the original server and it worked as usual. where to look? -- DA Fo rsyth Network Supervisor Principal Technical Officer -- Institute for Water Research http://www.ru.ac.za/institutes/iwr/ ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:47:21 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: Large raid arrays To: Matias Surdi Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120164719.B18283@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed gconcat On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Matias Surdi wrote: > Hi, > > I've a host with two large (2Tb and 4 Tb) hardware raid5 arrays. > > For the backup system we are using, I need to join them to make 1 logical > device. > > What would you recomment? ccd or vinum? > > > Thanks a lot for your suggestions. > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > ------------------------------ Message: 13 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:48:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: Large raid arrays To: Matias Surdi Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120164747.J18283@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed >> > > > ZFS was a disaster. > > That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs > pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. normal. > > Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. > > But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact. indeed. and fsck time can be fast if you correctly set up block size and amount of inodes. i mean not too much inodes and large blocks (32-64K) if you store mostly big files. > I won't use ZFS for a long time. i would recommend never. ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:24:27 -0200 From: Eduardo Meyer Subject: switching bsdlabel's label To: questions@freebsd.org, stable@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello, I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before you reboot; attempting a "mount" by hand (merely specifying either the mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can serve as a useful reality check.

Since basically its the same > task, Is it safe do relabel this way? Hmmm. Is there stuff written on the disk. Is root stuff really written on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a? Does the system boot from it OK? Or is it just that the mounts are switched. The mount points are not written in to the label. That comes after booting. If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards (probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly). ////jerry > > > > > Kind regards, > > Patrick > > -- > > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > > Gf: J��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿ ½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿!

Needless to say, I belong > to group usb. This configuration worked before just fine. Any ideas? You certainly always needed permissions on a device to be able to mount it.

Any ideas what is happening here? Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not 7070. 7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let through. Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server, though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:53:55 -0600 From: Andrew Gould Subject: Re: NetBSD networking question To: Shawn Hoffman Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Shawn Hoffman wrote: > Hello, my name is Shawn Hoffman, and I am the Staffing Manager for > Logikos Inc.

I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root. I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk.

I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a clean drive. The procedure was: # sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4) # bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1 # newfs -U /dev/da4s1a # mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt # echo hello > /mnt/world # umount /mnt # fdisk (to find the starting block of s1) # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed) # dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify 'count=' to limit the amount of data copied) # reboot After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1 of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by fdisk). Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a "dangerously dedicated" disk from the start. You're just moving the first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand your partitions. Good luck! - Max P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise to try :) ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:59:45 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar Subject: Re: switching bsdlabel's label To: Eduardo Meyer Cc: stable@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120225943.T19343@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed yes On Tue, 20 Jan 2009, Eduardo Meyer wrote: > Hello, > > I have a certain disk where da0s1a and da0s1d are inverted.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-15 Greetings from newbie land. I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?" I have read the appropriate sections of the Handbook, Lehey's _Complete FreeBSD_ (both paragraphs :) ), and Lucas' _Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed.). I have googled and done some searching of this list's archives, and couldn't tease the answer out of them. As you will see, it would be a LOT of work to "just try it", so I don't feel too bad about asking before diving in. I would like to install XFCE on a FreeBSD 7.1 box that is and will remain (for now) offline. No network connection at all. If I have read correctly, this means downloading the appropriate package(s) and using pkg_add. So far, so good (I haven't done it, but it seems clear enough). The package for XFCE4, as listed here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/xfce.html is a "meta-port" (I believe I understand the idea), which seems to have about one hundred (100) dependencies. Of course, some of those will have dependencies of their own, and so on. My question is this: In order to "download/ftp the package" for XFCE4, I would have to obtain all hundred (or so) of the listed files _and_ any dependencies they may have so as to point pkg_add at them locally. Is this correct? If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed should be sufficient). I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ This strongly implies that I can bypass the pkg_add procedure entirely. Might be worth trying, but I'd still like to know if I've understood what the package listing above is saying. Editorial comment and/or general advice on XFCE is not unwelcome. It's just secondary to the question. Thanks in advance, and regards, Tom Holloway. PS: I almost forgot the traditional "PLEASE HELP!!!" ;) But this is not for work and I am not on any deadline whatever. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 01:16:45 +0200 From: Manolis Kiagias Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

Is this correct? In short, yes. And this will be quite difficult to get right. *Unless* the machine you actually use to get the packages is also running FreeBSD. You could then pkg_add -r xfce4 on it and then recreate all the required packages and transfer them to the target machine. To recreate the packages: # cd /usr/ports # mkdir packages # cd packages # pkg_create -Rb xfce-x.y.z (hint: use pkg_info -Ix xfce to get the exact name of the xfce metaport to use with pkg_create) The same applies also if you decide to build xfce from Ports. You could still create packages in the same way. Simply copy the packages to a CD or USB drive, and pkg_add on the target machine (note you will not use '-r' on it as all the packages are local) > If not correct, what have I missed (a pointer to what I've missed > should be sufficient). > > I've also looked at it from the XFCE side, where there is a nice, > detailed doc by Benedikt Meurer, here > > > http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/ > > This document refers to an older version of XFCE and may not be applicable to the current one.

It's > just secondary to the question. > XFCE is nice, I've been using it on almost all my FreeBSD desktops. It is a no frills desktop. The default look is somewhat blunt, but it is easy to customize to taste. I also usually install ristretto (picture viewer) thunar-volman-plugin (for mounting USB drives etc) and a few other xfce utilities. It compiles rather quickly on my humble Pentium IV. As a side note, I have a machine specifically for building packages and it just happens that I finished a complete build run today (for FreeBSD 7.1 32bit).

For the most part it is fine but I do have two problems 1) The NIC a realtek 8111C keeps giving watchdog timeout messages and the link state changes from up to down and back to up again. 2) The two hard disks that are attached to the sata raid controller are not seen by Freebsd, the raid card is set to native ide as I want to use ZFS rather than the onboard raid system and all the drives are present at post.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20090120235256.GB30866@dev.null> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello. I've been experimenting with a series scripts that takes ZFS snapshots every minute, eventually destroying the oldest so that only so many remain available for a given window of time. This may seem a trivial concern with hard drive sizes being what they are these days, but after running a "zpool history" I started thinking that a ZFS create and destroy being performed every minute would add up to a lot over the course of a few years (current estimate is 62MB/year for the naming scheme of my snapshots). >From what I understand, ZFS compresses metadata by default, so this history probbaly won't take up much space in the grand scheme of things. However, I was curious just the same about wether or not there was a way to prune down, or limit the size of, the zpool history. Also, is there any substantial performance penalty to having a huge history?

If you don't mind doing this or of you intend to run XFCE on that machine anyway, stop reading now. :-) If you intentionally DON'T want to install XFCE 4 on the machine you want to use to get the packages, how about trying this dirty script? ########################################################################### #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh 2008-08-19 # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 " exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ... " if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then echo "$1.tbz already there" exit 1 fi pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1 echo "done" for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}" $0 ${DEP} done rm $1.txt exit 0 ########################################################################### Put this content into a file pkg_download.sh, chmod it +x and then run % ./pkg_download.sh xfce4 And yes, it's a very dirty solution, needlessly complicated, untidy and unfriendly to use, but it will work and bypass the need to install XFCE 4 on the machine to fetch. The script does not compile anything, it relies on the pkg_add -r mechanism and the presence of the proper packages on the default server. But please note that it will download any dependency needed recursively, which may lead you to a huge pile of tbz files. Just think about what Gtk 2 will need... I wrote this script in order to achieve the same goal as it has been requested initially. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:50:33 +0100 From: Peter Ulrich Kruppa Subject: Re: Newbie: offline package use / XFCE.

The simpliest way would be to install from one of the three Release-CD's or from the Release-DVD (via /usr/sbin/sysinstall). But I have no idea if XFCE4 is contained in them.

I think sudo makes a lazy admin -- too easy to just run in and hit something. I think sudo is a false sense of security. If a user trusts another, and give sudo access, why not give the whole OS to them? Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with a box with sudo installed. I think it's a very misleading tool. And not to say they do -- but what if the devs put in a keygen...do you monitor the sudo source code? And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a SUID bit to root. Those are the devil's eggs that hatch and just cause havoc. A rogue CGI calling sudo to do something on the website, buffer overflow (with php!) and you've gotten rooted. No, no -- I hate sudo for it's own doing. It's going to eat itself alive.

Do you know if that is true? I have an IOGEAR GCS632U -- a two-port USB KVM switch. It works great for me, but be forewarned that using a wireless mouse-and-keyboard set that both uses the same USB dongle as the receiver for both IO devices it probably won't work very well. Even though I have a mouse and keyboard that are part of a matched set using the same dongle, I have to use a different mouse with that keyboard so I can plug the mouse into the mouse port on the KVM switch and the keyboard's wireless dongle into the keyboard port on the KVM switch. Otherwise, it works great -- I just hit scroll lock twice, and it switches between a FreeBSD desktop tower and an MS Windows desktop tower. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Antony Jay: "In corporate religions as in others, the heretic must be cast out not because of the probability that he is wrong but because of the possibility that he is right." -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

AFAIK this uses the iwn driver which a group of us is now working on. Backports (testing) exist for 7.1, and there are several references to them on this list. Use the latest, and post back here with your results which will help us further the task (/var/log/messages, dmesg, etc). Just to check that this is the driver you need, run a pciconf -lv and post the result back here.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

REvcently I moved the monitoring form one server to another, but now the telnet probe only works from the command line.

Yes, the connection is made. mbmon is running on the targets. This is affecting 3 target print servers.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors.

I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine.

But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine.

AFAIK this uses the iwn driver which a group of us is now working on. Backports (testing) exist for 7.1, and there are several references to them on this list. Use the latest, and post back here with your results which will help us further the task (/var/log/messages, dmesg, etc).

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

Perhaps I should delete some other temp > files as well? Before I learned to run portupgrade in a screen session, I never had a problem just running portupgrade again. If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors.

I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

AFAIK this uses the iwn driver which a group of us is now working on. Backports (testing) exist for 7.1, and there are several references to them on this list. Use the latest, and post back here with your results which will help us further the task (/var/log/messages, dmesg, etc). Just to check that this is the driver you need, run a pciconf -lv and post the result back here. ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:54:10 -0800 From: "I Hate SPAM via RT" Subject: [SpamCop (66.51.128.45) id:3804161333][Trouble Ticket #190335] AutoReply: freebsd-questi..

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it. I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any other than root accounts. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:31:09 -0500 From: Steve Bertrand Subject: Re: Edit user groups To: Akenner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4976348D.4010502@ibctech.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Akenner wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up. > I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made > some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway > heh. > > Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default > doesn't allow just anyone to use su. > > I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever > you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the > password and go.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this.

Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off and the zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable. Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors. But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact. I won't use ZFS for a long time. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:10:13 +0100 From: Jos Chrispijn Subject: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4975DB45.1040407@webrz.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted?

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

Perhaps I should delete some other temp > files as well? Before I learned to run portupgrade in a screen session, I never had a problem just running portupgrade again. If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

REvcently I moved the monitoring form one server to another, but now the telnet probe only works from the command line.

Yes, the connection is made. mbmon is running on the targets. This is affecting 3 target print servers.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

If so, it would be a drop in the bucket to read through sudo as well. I see that you sent your e-mail from a Windows box... P.S.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

AFAIK this uses the iwn driver which a group of us is now working on. Backports (testing) exist for 7.1, and there are several references to them on this list. Use the latest, and post back here with your results which will help us further the task (/var/log/messages, dmesg, etc). Just to check that this is the driver you need, run a pciconf -lv and post the result back here. ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:54:10 -0800 From: "I Hate SPAM via RT" Subject: [SpamCop (66.51.128.45) id:3804161333][Trouble Ticket #190335] AutoReply: freebsd-questi..

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it. I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any other than root accounts. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:31:09 -0500 From: Steve Bertrand Subject: Re: Edit user groups To: Akenner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4976348D.4010502@ibctech.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Akenner wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up. > I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made > some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway > heh. > > Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default > doesn't allow just anyone to use su. > > I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever > you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the > password and go.

Yes. # ee /etc/group ...and add your username to the list of users after the wheel group. For instance, by default, the entry will appear as such: wheel:*:0:root ...and if my username is steve, you will append the line like this: wheel:*:0:root,steve ...then hit ESC, then ENTER twice.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

Perhaps I should delete some other temp > files as well? Before I learned to run portupgrade in a screen session, I never had a problem just running portupgrade again. If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it. I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any other than root accounts. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:31:09 -0500 From: Steve Bertrand Subject: Re: Edit user groups To: Akenner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4976348D.4010502@ibctech.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Akenner wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up. > I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made > some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway > heh. > > Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default > doesn't allow just anyone to use su. > > I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever > you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the > password and go.

Yes. # ee /etc/group ...and add your username to the list of users after the wheel group. For instance, by default, the entry will appear as such: wheel:*:0:root ...and if my username is steve, you will append the line like this: wheel:*:0:root,steve ...then hit ESC, then ENTER twice.

Two drives ad4 and ad6 are arranged with gmirror as the operating system (7.1 Stable). The FreeBSD boot manager is installed for this mirror and I would like to remove it and use the standard FreeBSD MBR ...without messing anything up. Can I perform the fdisk -B /dev/ad4 followed by fdisk -B /dev/ad6 from a livefs disk? Maybe fdisk -B /dev/mirror/gm0? I have backups but everything is running very nice right now.

The problem has nothing to do with ports.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf. -- Mike Clarke ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:17:19 -0500 From: Josh Carroll Subject: Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session To: Jos Chrispijn Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <8cb6106e0901200717u717a0734r933f4337658fffd5@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Jos Chrispijn wrote: > Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in the > middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted? > The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. > Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive > session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system > prompt $-|. > What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby > process and some tty processes.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

Perhaps I should delete some other temp > files as well? Before I learned to run portupgrade in a screen session, I never had a problem just running portupgrade again. If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Whatever I try, I can't login with my useraccount and even not logon as root. This happened severall times now, the only way was to reinstall everything, and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the ports. And .. again the same problem. I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem, maybe someone had to deal with this issue before ?? ************* Follow up ===> My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess. You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode. This happend after complete update (gnome2 included) I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to logon. Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and it didn't. I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

I mean, if all system filesystems are OK, how can set up a device with a custom mount point so that when it's tried to mount at boot time and fails doesn't cause the system to be in single user mode? I know that if in fstab I set the last parameter to "0" checking will not be made at boot time, but instead what I want is the check to be run, correct any automatically correctable error, and continue booting anyway, despite the result of the check.Later a custom script will check the filesystem and send a mail, for example. Thanks for your help.

It appears that some ports are having problems with this odd version update; i.e., "/news/inn" and possibly "/mail/mailscanner" as examples.

I mean, if all system filesystems are OK, how can set up a device with a custom mount point so that when it's tried to mount at boot time and fails doesn't cause the system to be in single user mode? I know that if in fstab I set the last parameter to "0" checking will not be made at boot time, but instead what I want is the check to be run, correct any automatically correctable error, and continue booting anyway, despite the result of the check.Later a custom script will check the filesystem and send a mail, for example. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:32:24 -0800 From: "Jaybee Bambilla via RT" Subject: [Trouble Ticket #190387] Resolved: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 35 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" According to our records, your request has been resolved.

It appears that some ports are having problems with this odd version update; i.e., "/news/inn" and possibly "/mail/mailscanner" as examples. With the latest version of Perl having been released over a year ago, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to waste the time to port an older version. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com "The Vatican is against surrogate mothers.

Yes, label is switched. Yes there really are stuff on the partitions. No, I dont boot from da0s1d. It is a disk for migration.

"this is not an invitation to start running a portsnap mirror as well. There is nothing to stop you from mirroring from portsnap[12].freebsd.org, but since mirroring consumes ~5GB/month of bandwidth while updating a single machine consumes ~5MB/month of bandwidth, adding unnecessary mirrors is likely to increase rather than decrease the load on the official mirrors. If in doubt, talk to me (cperciva@FreeBSD.org) first." So if you think its worth it (you have 1000 or so clients to upgrade,) go look in the cvs repository under projects.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

I get the following errors upon boot: in openpam_load_module(): no /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so pam_start:system error I have reinstalled the ldap client and checked all config files. I have also compared it to my other systems that are authenticating against the ldap server and they are ok. I do not believe this is an ldap issue though because I am not even able to login as root at the console. I have verified that the pam_ldap.so file is in place and all permissions and file sizes are correct. Can anyone help?

I have checked out the shell script for mirroring. I read the notes in the script. My company may have a few user of portsnap. But they usually complain about the portsnap mirror on the internet is so slow. My company doesn't have a proxy, it seems to be using NAT. So if I change the interval of running the mirror script to a few hours, it should not consume lots of existing mirrors bandwidth?

Since portsnap uses fetch(1) to download updates, setting the HTTP_PROXY environment variable will direct it to fetch updates from the given proxy. This is much more efficient than mirroring the files on the portsnap server, since the vast majority of files are not needed by any par- ticular client." I havent tried this though.

What sysinstall does is assume that the 'a' partition will be used for a root mount and the 'b' partition will be used for swap. Sinc 'c' is reserved, it starts with 'd'. Then, if you later add an 'a' it will end up being later (higher offset) than the 'd'. I suppose it might confuse a person, but otherwise it is no problem and probably would be best to just leave it that way. You really only need to use the mount point anyway most of the time. So, if the mount point addresses the partition you want to with that name, then you should have no problem. You could switch it around using bsdlabel, but I don't think the risk would be worth the negligible gain. But, do as you wish. ////jerry > > > > > > > > > > >> > >> > > >> > Kind regards, > >> > Patrick > >> > -- > >> > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe > >> > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 > >> > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de > >> > Gf: Jürgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 > >> > > >> > >> > >> > >> -- > >> =========== > >> Eduardo Meyer > >> pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > >> profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > >> _______________________________________________ > >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >> > > > > > > -- > =========== > Eduardo Meyer > pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com > profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jan 21 15:11:40 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6ED6B1065981 for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:11:40 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from Pieter.Donche@ua.ac.be) Received: from hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be (hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be [143.129.75.10]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 021B08FC0C for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:11:39 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from Pieter.Donche@ua.ac.be) Received: from hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id n0LFBbYN029074 for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:11:37 +0100 (CET) Received: from localhost (pdon@localhost) by hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/Submit) with ESMTP id n0LFBbTl029071 for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:11:37 +0100 (CET) X-Authentication-Warning: hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be: pdon owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:11:37 +0100 (CET) From: Pieter Donche X-X-Sender: pdon@hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be To: "mail.list freebsd-questions" Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Subject: FreeBSD7+KDE3, IPMI module, no mouse input X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: Pieter Donche List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:11:45 -0000 Installed FreeBSD7.0-amd on a Supermicro system that has an IPMI module (=Remote server management through webbrowser (Java appl.))

Keyboard input works, but mouse input does not (the mouse pointer moves, but clicking on e.g. the 'Menu' button in KDM login window does nothing) (the IPMI console window shows in the bottom right corner a keyboard and mouse icon, indicating that both should be available) Also, after some time the screen gets black and reports 'No signal' I can still do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a FreeBSD ASCII console login: prompt.

The boot process assumes (by default) that the root file system is on the "a" partition. If it isn't, you won't be able to boot from that disk, unless you enter the real root partition at the boot0 prompt. So it is really a good idea to switch the partitions in the label before putting that disk into production. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Therefore I suggest you are in single user mode. If you feel unsure, backup the current label scheme with disklabel da0s1 -n > da0s1.disklabel.bk You can restore anytime with the Rescue Disk. Go ahead, no problem. Sometimes you will really have problem booting from a disk if root is not on label 'a'. I believe it can be workarounded, but your will is safe, go ahead and switch the labels. You can always remember the person who did this from sysinstall that sysinstall will label as 'a' if the mount point is root (/). Therefore if someone wants to use sysinstall for labelling in production, and wont mount on / since / has the current root, one can always fool sysinstall, (C)reating the partition, using / as mpoint and mater redefining the (M)ount point to somewhere else, say, to /mnt. I always relabel this way, never had a problem. TinyBSD sometimes relabels this way too, for some PC Engines Wrap boards.

I mean, if all system filesystems are OK, how can set up a device with a custom mount point so that when it's tried to mount at boot time and fails doesn't cause the system to be in single user mode? I know that if in fstab I set the last parameter to "0" checking will not be made at boot time, but instead what I want is the check to be run, correct any automatically correctable error, and continue booting anyway, despite the result of the check.Later a custom script will check the filesystem and send a mail, for example. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:32:24 -0800 From: "Jaybee Bambilla via RT" Subject: [Trouble Ticket #190387] Resolved: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 35 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" According to our records, your request has been resolved.

It appears that some ports are having problems with this odd version update; i.e., "/news/inn" and possibly "/mail/mailscanner" as examples. With the latest version of Perl having been released over a year ago, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to waste the time to port an older version. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com "The Vatican is against surrogate mothers.

Yes, label is switched. Yes there really are stuff on the partitions. No, I dont boot from da0s1d. It is a disk for migration. But the one who partitioned was fooled by Sysinstall which creates the first label on extra disks as 'd' and the last from the allowed 7 as 'a'. Therefore this server is still booting on the original disk (ad6s1a) and everything else is mounted in the new one (da0s1), everything but root. > > > > >> >> > >> > Kind regards, >> > Patrick >> > -- >> > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe >> > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 >> > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de >> > Gf: J�rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 >> > >> >> >> >> -- >> =========== >> Eduardo Meyer >> pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com >> profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> > -- =========== Eduardo Meyer pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:46:06 -0200 From: Trober Subject: Re: source of uname information To: questions@freebsd.org, "Robert Huff" Message-ID: <20090121124607.09B94140B0@karpathos.uni5.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

Since portsnap uses fetch(1) to download updates, setting the HTTP_PROXY environment variable will direct it to fetch updates from the given proxy. This is much more efficient than mirroring the files on the portsnap server, since the vast majority of files are not needed by any par- ticular client." I havent tried this though.

What sysinstall does is assume that the 'a' partition will be used for a root mount and the 'b' partition will be used for swap. Sinc 'c' is reserved, it starts with 'd'. Then, if you later add an 'a' it will end up being later (higher offset) than the 'd'. I suppose it might confuse a person, but otherwise it is no problem and probably would be best to just leave it that way. You really only need to use the mount point anyway most of the time. So, if the mount point addresses the partition you want to with that name, then you should have no problem. You could switch it around using bsdlabel, but I don't think the risk would be worth the negligible gain.

The boot process assumes (by default) that the root file system is on the "a" partition. If it isn't, you won't be able to boot from that disk, unless you enter the real root partition at the boot0 prompt. So it is really a good idea to switch the partitions in the label before putting that disk into production. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Go ahead, no problem. Sometimes you will really have problem booting from a disk if root is not on label 'a'. I believe it can be workarounded, but your will is safe, go ahead and switch the labels. You can always remember the person who did this from sysinstall that sysinstall will label as 'a' if the mount point is root (/). Therefore if someone wants to use sysinstall for labelling in production, and wont mount on / since / has the current root, one can always fool sysinstall, (C)reating the partition, using / as mpoint and mater redefining the (M)ount point to somewhere else, say, to /mnt. I always relabel this way, never had a problem. TinyBSD sometimes relabels this way too, for some PC Engines Wrap boards.

Among other reasons, because it allows you to partition privileges and give access for specific users (or groups of users) to specific accounts only, or to execute only a specific set of commands as root or another user. When I was running a department of technical support staff and another group of junior administrators, this ability to limit and partition powers was a life-saver. I think you mistrust sudo because you do not yet understand it as well as su (also essential, but a more blunt instrument.) > Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with > a box with sudo installed.

Rarely, but it's freely available, and thousands if not tens of thousands of other programmers and admins have access to it, and do check it enough to find the occasional bug. Same as the source to su, or to the OS as a whole; has it never occurred to you there are trust issues there as well? > And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a > SUID bit to root.

I mean, if all system filesystems are OK, how can set up a device with a custom mount point so that when it's tried to mount at boot time and fails doesn't cause the system to be in single user mode? I know that if in fstab I set the last parameter to "0" checking will not be made at boot time, but instead what I want is the check to be run, correct any automatically correctable error, and continue booting anyway, despite the result of the check.Later a custom script will check the filesystem and send a mail, for example. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:32:24 -0800 From: "Jaybee Bambilla via RT" Subject: [Trouble Ticket #190387] Resolved: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 35 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" According to our records, your request has been resolved.

It appears that some ports are having problems with this odd version update; i.e., "/news/inn" and possibly "/mail/mailscanner" as examples. With the latest version of Perl having been released over a year ago, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to waste the time to port an older version. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com "The Vatican is against surrogate mothers.

Yes, label is switched. Yes there really are stuff on the partitions. No, I dont boot from da0s1d. It is a disk for migration. But the one who partitioned was fooled by Sysinstall which creates the first label on extra disks as 'd' and the last from the allowed 7 as 'a'. Therefore this server is still booting on the original disk (ad6s1a) and everything else is mounted in the new one (da0s1), everything but root. > > > > >> >> > >> > Kind regards, >> > Patrick >> > -- >> > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe >> > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 >> > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de >> > Gf: J���rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 >> > >> >> >> >> -- >> =========== >> Eduardo Meyer >> pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com >> profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> > -- =========== Eduardo Meyer pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:46:06 -0200 From: Trober Subject: Re: source of uname information To: questions@freebsd.org, "Robert Huff" Message-ID: <20090121124607.09B94140B0@karpathos.uni5.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

What sysinstall does is assume that the 'a' partition will be used for a root mount and the 'b' partition will be used for swap. Sinc 'c' is reserved, it starts with 'd'. Then, if you later add an 'a' it will end up being later (higher offset) than the 'd'. I suppose it might confuse a person, but otherwise it is no problem and probably would be best to just leave it that way. You really only need to use the mount point anyway most of the time. So, if the mount point addresses the partition you want to with that name, then you should have no problem. You could switch it around using bsdlabel, but I don't think the risk would be worth the negligible gain.

The boot process assumes (by default) that the root file system is on the "a" partition. If it isn't, you won't be able to boot from that disk, unless you enter the real root partition at the boot0 prompt. So it is really a good idea to switch the partitions in the label before putting that disk into production. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Therefore I suggest you are in single user mode. If you feel unsure, backup the current label scheme with disklabel da0s1 -n > da0s1.disklabel.bk You can restore anytime with the Rescue Disk. Go ahead, no problem. Sometimes you will really have problem booting from a disk if root is not on label 'a'. I believe it can be workarounded, but your will is safe, go ahead and switch the labels. You can always remember the person who did this from sysinstall that sysinstall will label as 'a' if the mount point is root (/). Therefore if someone wants to use sysinstall for labelling in production, and wont mount on / since / has the current root, one can always fool sysinstall, (C)reating the partition, using / as mpoint and mater redefining the (M)ount point to somewhere else, say, to /mnt. I always relabel this way, never had a problem. TinyBSD sometimes relabels this way too, for some PC Engines Wrap boards.

Among other reasons, because it allows you to partition privileges and give access for specific users (or groups of users) to specific accounts only, or to execute only a specific set of commands as root or another user. When I was running a department of technical support staff and another group of junior administrators, this ability to limit and partition powers was a life-saver. I think you mistrust sudo because you do not yet understand it as well as su (also essential, but a more blunt instrument.) > Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with > a box with sudo installed.

Try this: Set to "noauto" in /etc/fstab, and add a custom script to run at the end of the boot process to check and mount your special device if it's OK, and do whatever additional processing you want if not. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:20:07 -0800 From: "Peter Steele" Subject: Do I need to run netif stop/start if IP is changed? To: Message-ID: <2ACA3DE8F9758A48B8BE2C7A847F91F247A4BB@polaris.maxiscale.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" We have systems that upon initial configuration have no IP addresses assigned. Their rc.conf entries look like this: ifconfig_nfe0="UP" ifconfig_nfe1="UP" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1" defaultrouter="0.0.0.0" The user later runs a tool and specifies the IP address to use for a given system. This tool modifies ifconfig and default router lines, e.g. ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1 192.168.17.49 netmask 255.255.240.0" defaultrouter="192.168.16.1" and also executes explicit ifconfig and route add commands that match the entries in rc.conf. The question is, should we also execute a netif stop/start sequence when this IP/router information is assigned? Are there other services that should also be stopped/restarted when the IP is set? Ideally, we want to avoid having to reboot the box to set the IP as we are doing. ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:33:00 +0100 From: Frank Staals Subject: Re: Do I need to run netif stop/start if IP is changed?

I used to have a script to switch between LAN and WLAN on my laptop which used only ifconfig , route flush and route add default .

Even when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0 device thus created, did not survive a reboot. Also, a software RAID was attempted -- after a minimal install from CD, the atacontrol command was used to create RAID ar0, then (without rebooting) exiting back to the installer, the OS was loaded onto it; however, upon reboot, ar0 could not be found. In other words, it could not boot from any RAID, whether by software in FreeBSD or by hardware on RocketRAID. The problem stems from the board's Southbridge SB700 chipset (the infamous 700 series). This chipset is not (yet?) supported in FreeBSD. Other notes on this board include the following: -Generic VGA worked. -The onboard LAN (chipset 8111C) worked in 7.1-RELEASE, but not 7.0. -If the SATA ports are put into AHCI or Native IDE modes, individual disks were recognized, but in RAID mode, neither the RAID nor individual disks could be seen. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Vetting-motherboard-Gigabyte-GA-MA78G-DS3H-for-FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE-tp21100783p21591458.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I mean, if all system filesystems are OK, how can set up a device with a custom mount point so that when it's tried to mount at boot time and fails doesn't cause the system to be in single user mode? I know that if in fstab I set the last parameter to "0" checking will not be made at boot time, but instead what I want is the check to be run, correct any automatically correctable error, and continue booting anyway, despite the result of the check.Later a custom script will check the filesystem and send a mail, for example.

It appears that some ports are having problems with this odd version update; i.e., "/news/inn" and possibly "/mail/mailscanner" as examples. With the latest version of Perl having been released over a year ago, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to waste the time to port an older version. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com "The Vatican is against surrogate mothers.

Yes, label is switched. Yes there really are stuff on the partitions. No, I dont boot from da0s1d. It is a disk for migration. But the one who partitioned was fooled by Sysinstall which creates the first label on extra disks as 'd' and the last from the allowed 7 as 'a'. Therefore this server is still booting on the original disk (ad6s1a) and everything else is mounted in the new one (da0s1), everything but root. > > > > >> >> > >> > Kind regards, >> > Patrick >> > -- >> > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe >> > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 >> > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de >> > Gf: J���������rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 >> > >> >> >> >> -- >> =========== >> Eduardo Meyer >> pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com >> profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> > -- =========== Eduardo Meyer pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:46:06 -0200 From: Trober Subject: Re: source of uname information To: questions@freebsd.org, "Robert Huff" Message-ID: <20090121124607.09B94140B0@karpathos.uni5.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi.

"this is not an invitation to start running a portsnap mirror as well. There is nothing to stop you from mirroring from portsnap[12].freebsd.org, but since mirroring consumes ~5GB/month of bandwidth while updating a single machine consumes ~5MB/month of bandwidth, adding unnecessary mirrors is likely to increase rather than decrease the load on the official mirrors. If in doubt, talk to me (cperciva@FreeBSD.org) first." So if you think its worth it (you have 1000 or so clients to upgrade,) go look in the cvs repository under projects.

Do you know if that is true? I am using a Trendnet TK-207 USB switch and it works very well with my system. It switches between FreeBSD and Vista, and I use a zBoard keyboard with my mouse plugged in through the keyboard.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

I have checked out the shell script for mirroring. I read the notes in the script. My company may have a few user of portsnap. But they usually complain about the portsnap mirror on the internet is so slow. My company doesn't have a proxy, it seems to be using NAT. So if I change the interval of running the mirror script to a few hours, it should not consume lots of existing mirrors bandwidth?

Since portsnap uses fetch(1) to download updates, setting the HTTP_PROXY environment variable will direct it to fetch updates from the given proxy. This is much more efficient than mirroring the files on the portsnap server, since the vast majority of files are not needed by any par- ticular client." I havent tried this though.

What sysinstall does is assume that the 'a' partition will be used for a root mount and the 'b' partition will be used for swap. Sinc 'c' is reserved, it starts with 'd'. Then, if you later add an 'a' it will end up being later (higher offset) than the 'd'. I suppose it might confuse a person, but otherwise it is no problem and probably would be best to just leave it that way. You really only need to use the mount point anyway most of the time. So, if the mount point addresses the partition you want to with that name, then you should have no problem. You could switch it around using bsdlabel, but I don't think the risk would be worth the negligible gain.

The boot process assumes (by default) that the root file system is on the "a" partition. If it isn't, you won't be able to boot from that disk, unless you enter the real root partition at the boot0 prompt. So it is really a good idea to switch the partitions in the label before putting that disk into production. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Therefore I suggest you are in single user mode. If you feel unsure, backup the current label scheme with disklabel da0s1 -n > da0s1.disklabel.bk You can restore anytime with the Rescue Disk. Go ahead, no problem. Sometimes you will really have problem booting from a disk if root is not on label 'a'. I believe it can be workarounded, but your will is safe, go ahead and switch the labels. You can always remember the person who did this from sysinstall that sysinstall will label as 'a' if the mount point is root (/). Therefore if someone wants to use sysinstall for labelling in production, and wont mount on / since / has the current root, one can always fool sysinstall, (C)reating the partition, using / as mpoint and mater redefining the (M)ount point to somewhere else, say, to /mnt. I always relabel this way, never had a problem. TinyBSD sometimes relabels this way too, for some PC Engines Wrap boards.

Among other reasons, because it allows you to partition privileges and give access for specific users (or groups of users) to specific accounts only, or to execute only a specific set of commands as root or another user. When I was running a department of technical support staff and another group of junior administrators, this ability to limit and partition powers was a life-saver. I think you mistrust sudo because you do not yet understand it as well as su (also essential, but a more blunt instrument.) > Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with > a box with sudo installed.

Rarely, but it's freely available, and thousands if not tens of thousands of other programmers and admins have access to it, and do check it enough to find the occasional bug. Same as the source to su, or to the OS as a whole; has it never occurred to you there are trust issues there as well? > And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a > SUID bit to root.

Try this: Set to "noauto" in /etc/fstab, and add a custom script to run at the end of the boot process to check and mount your special device if it's OK, and do whatever additional processing you want if not. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:20:07 -0800 From: "Peter Steele" Subject: Do I need to run netif stop/start if IP is changed?

Their rc.conf entries look like this: ifconfig_nfe0="UP" ifconfig_nfe1="UP" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1" defaultrouter="0.0.0.0" The user later runs a tool and specifies the IP address to use for a given system. This tool modifies ifconfig and default router lines, e.g. ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1 192.168.17.49 netmask 255.255.240.0" defaultrouter="192.168.16.1" and also executes explicit ifconfig and route add commands that match the entries in rc.conf. The question is, should we also execute a netif stop/start sequence when this IP/router information is assigned? Are there other services that should also be stopped/restarted when the IP is set?

Even when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0 device thus created, did not survive a reboot. Also, a software RAID was attempted -- after a minimal install from CD, the atacontrol command was used to create RAID ar0, then (without rebooting) exiting back to the installer, the OS was loaded onto it; however, upon reboot, ar0 could not be found. In other words, it could not boot from any RAID, whether by software in FreeBSD or by hardware on RocketRAID. The problem stems from the board's Southbridge SB700 chipset (the infamous 700 series). This chipset is not (yet?) supported in FreeBSD. Other notes on this board include the following: -Generic VGA worked. -The onboard LAN (chipset 8111C) worked in 7.1-RELEASE, but not 7.0. -If the SATA ports are put into AHCI or Native IDE modes, individual disks were recognized, but in RAID mode, neither the RAID nor individual disks could be seen. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Vetting-motherboard-Gigabyte-GA-MA78G-DS3H-for-FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE-tp21100783p21591458.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:22:02 -0800 From: "AEBC Support via RT" Subject: [Trouble Ticket #190456] AutoReply: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 39 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Thank you for contacting us.

I mean, if all system filesystems are OK, how can set up a device with a custom mount point so that when it's tried to mount at boot time and fails doesn't cause the system to be in single user mode? I know that if in fstab I set the last parameter to "0" checking will not be made at boot time, but instead what I want is the check to be run, correct any automatically correctable error, and continue booting anyway, despite the result of the check.Later a custom script will check the filesystem and send a mail, for example.

It appears that some ports are having problems with this odd version update; i.e., "/news/inn" and possibly "/mail/mailscanner" as examples. With the latest version of Perl having been released over a year ago, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to waste the time to port an older version. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com "The Vatican is against surrogate mothers.

Yes, label is switched. Yes there really are stuff on the partitions. No, I dont boot from da0s1d. It is a disk for migration. But the one who partitioned was fooled by Sysinstall which creates the first label on extra disks as 'd' and the last from the allowed 7 as 'a'. Therefore this server is still booting on the original disk (ad6s1a) and everything else is mounted in the new one (da0s1), everything but root. > > > > >> >> > >> > Kind regards, >> > Patrick >> > -- >> > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe >> > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 >> > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de >> > Gf: J���������������������������rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 >> > >> >> >> >> -- >> =========== >> Eduardo Meyer >> pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com >> profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> > -- =========== Eduardo Meyer pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:46:06 -0200 From: Trober Subject: Re: source of uname information To: questions@freebsd.org, "Robert Huff" Message-ID: <20090121124607.09B94140B0@karpathos.uni5.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

What sysinstall does is assume that the 'a' partition will be used for a root mount and the 'b' partition will be used for swap. Sinc 'c' is reserved, it starts with 'd'. Then, if you later add an 'a' it will end up being later (higher offset) than the 'd'. I suppose it might confuse a person, but otherwise it is no problem and probably would be best to just leave it that way. You really only need to use the mount point anyway most of the time. So, if the mount point addresses the partition you want to with that name, then you should have no problem. You could switch it around using bsdlabel, but I don't think the risk would be worth the negligible gain.

The boot process assumes (by default) that the root file system is on the "a" partition. If it isn't, you won't be able to boot from that disk, unless you enter the real root partition at the boot0 prompt. So it is really a good idea to switch the partitions in the label before putting that disk into production. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Therefore I suggest you are in single user mode. If you feel unsure, backup the current label scheme with disklabel da0s1 -n > da0s1.disklabel.bk You can restore anytime with the Rescue Disk. Go ahead, no problem. Sometimes you will really have problem booting from a disk if root is not on label 'a'. I believe it can be workarounded, but your will is safe, go ahead and switch the labels. You can always remember the person who did this from sysinstall that sysinstall will label as 'a' if the mount point is root (/). Therefore if someone wants to use sysinstall for labelling in production, and wont mount on / since / has the current root, one can always fool sysinstall, (C)reating the partition, using / as mpoint and mater redefining the (M)ount point to somewhere else, say, to /mnt. I always relabel this way, never had a problem. TinyBSD sometimes relabels this way too, for some PC Engines Wrap boards.

Among other reasons, because it allows you to partition privileges and give access for specific users (or groups of users) to specific accounts only, or to execute only a specific set of commands as root or another user. When I was running a department of technical support staff and another group of junior administrators, this ability to limit and partition powers was a life-saver. I think you mistrust sudo because you do not yet understand it as well as su (also essential, but a more blunt instrument.) > Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with > a box with sudo installed.

Rarely, but it's freely available, and thousands if not tens of thousands of other programmers and admins have access to it, and do check it enough to find the occasional bug.

This tool modifies ifconfig and default router lines, e.g. ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1 192.168.17.49 netmask 255.255.240.0" defaultrouter="192.168.16.1" and also executes explicit ifconfig and route add commands that match the entries in rc.conf.

Even when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0 device thus created, did not survive a reboot. Also, a software RAID was attempted -- after a minimal install from CD, the atacontrol command was used to create RAID ar0, then (without rebooting) exiting back to the installer, the OS was loaded onto it; however, upon reboot, ar0 could not be found. In other words, it could not boot from any RAID, whether by software in FreeBSD or by hardware on RocketRAID. The problem stems from the board's Southbridge SB700 chipset (the infamous 700 series). This chipset is not (yet?) supported in FreeBSD. Other notes on this board include the following: -Generic VGA worked. -The onboard LAN (chipset 8111C) worked in 7.1-RELEASE, but not 7.0. -If the SATA ports are put into AHCI or Native IDE modes, individual disks were recognized, but in RAID mode, neither the RAID nor individual disks could be seen. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-needed-w--HighPoint-RocketRAID-3120-on-FreeBSD-7.1-RELEASE-tp21479839p21591518.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I mean, if all system filesystems are OK, how can set up a device with a custom mount point so that when it's tried to mount at boot time and fails doesn't cause the system to be in single user mode? I know that if in fstab I set the last parameter to "0" checking will not be made at boot time, but instead what I want is the check to be run, correct any automatically correctable error, and continue booting anyway, despite the result of the check.Later a custom script will check the filesystem and send a mail, for example. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:32:24 -0800 From: "Jaybee Bambilla via RT" Subject: [Trouble Ticket #190387] Resolved: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 35 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" According to our records, your request has been resolved.

It appears that some ports are having problems with this odd version update; i.e., "/news/inn" and possibly "/mail/mailscanner" as examples. With the latest version of Perl having been released over a year ago, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to waste the time to port an older version. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com "The Vatican is against surrogate mothers.

Yes, label is switched. Yes there really are stuff on the partitions. No, I dont boot from da0s1d. It is a disk for migration. But the one who partitioned was fooled by Sysinstall which creates the first label on extra disks as 'd' and the last from the allowed 7 as 'a'. Therefore this server is still booting on the original disk (ad6s1a) and everything else is mounted in the new one (da0s1), everything but root. > > > > >> >> > >> > Kind regards, >> > Patrick >> > -- >> > punkt.de GmbH * Kaiserallee 13a * 76133 Karlsruhe >> > Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 >> > info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de >> > Gf: J���������������������������������������������������������������������������������rgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285 >> > >> >> >> >> -- >> =========== >> Eduardo Meyer >> pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com >> profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> > -- =========== Eduardo Meyer pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:46:06 -0200 From: Trober Subject: Re: source of uname information To: questions@freebsd.org, "Robert Huff" Message-ID: <20090121124607.09B94140B0@karpathos.uni5.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi.

The sata controller should recognize the disks with or without raid, which freebsd should recognize then install on. I use sata in this mode on my systems, and freebsd works fine. Any software raid wouldn't care then as long as freebsd itself recognizes the drives.

I have checked out the shell script for mirroring. I read the notes in the script. My company may have a few user of portsnap. But they usually complain about the portsnap mirror on the internet is so slow. My company doesn't have a proxy, it seems to be using NAT. So if I change the interval of running the mirror script to a few hours, it should not consume lots of existing mirrors bandwidth?

Since portsnap uses fetch(1) to download updates, setting the HTTP_PROXY environment variable will direct it to fetch updates from the given proxy. This is much more efficient than mirroring the files on the portsnap server, since the vast majority of files are not needed by any par- ticular client." I havent tried this though.

What sysinstall does is assume that the 'a' partition will be used for a root mount and the 'b' partition will be used for swap. Sinc 'c' is reserved, it starts with 'd'. Then, if you later add an 'a' it will end up being later (higher offset) than the 'd'. I suppose it might confuse a person, but otherwise it is no problem and probably would be best to just leave it that way. You really only need to use the mount point anyway most of the time. So, if the mount point addresses the partition you want to with that name, then you should have no problem. You could switch it around using bsdlabel, but I don't think the risk would be worth the negligible gain.

The boot process assumes (by default) that the root file system is on the "a" partition. If it isn't, you won't be able to boot from that disk, unless you enter the real root partition at the boot0 prompt. So it is really a good idea to switch the partitions in the label before putting that disk into production. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Therefore I suggest you are in single user mode. If you feel unsure, backup the current label scheme with disklabel da0s1 -n > da0s1.disklabel.bk You can restore anytime with the Rescue Disk. Go ahead, no problem. Sometimes you will really have problem booting from a disk if root is not on label 'a'. I believe it can be workarounded, but your will is safe, go ahead and switch the labels. You can always remember the person who did this from sysinstall that sysinstall will label as 'a' if the mount point is root (/). Therefore if someone wants to use sysinstall for labelling in production, and wont mount on / since / has the current root, one can always fool sysinstall, (C)reating the partition, using / as mpoint and mater redefining the (M)ount point to somewhere else, say, to /mnt. I always relabel this way, never had a problem. TinyBSD sometimes relabels this way too, for some PC Engines Wrap boards.

Among other reasons, because it allows you to partition privileges and give access for specific users (or groups of users) to specific accounts only, or to execute only a specific set of commands as root or another user. When I was running a department of technical support staff and another group of junior administrators, this ability to limit and partition powers was a life-saver. I think you mistrust sudo because you do not yet understand it as well as su (also essential, but a more blunt instrument.) > Sudo's out there -- don't get me wrong, but you won't catch me dead with > a box with sudo installed.

Rarely, but it's freely available, and thousands if not tens of thousands of other programmers and admins have access to it, and do check it enough to find the occasional bug. Same as the source to su, or to the OS as a whole; has it never occurred to you there are trust issues there as well? > And if I remember correctly -- the way sudo gets it's work done is a > SUID bit to root.

Try this: Set to "noauto" in /etc/fstab, and add a custom script to run at the end of the boot process to check and mount your special device if it's OK, and do whatever additional processing you want if not. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:20:07 -0800 From: "Peter Steele" Subject: Do I need to run netif stop/start if IP is changed?

Their rc.conf entries look like this: ifconfig_nfe0="UP" ifconfig_nfe1="UP" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1" defaultrouter="0.0.0.0" The user later runs a tool and specifies the IP address to use for a given system. This tool modifies ifconfig and default router lines, e.g. ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1 192.168.17.49 netmask 255.255.240.0" defaultrouter="192.168.16.1" and also executes explicit ifconfig and route add commands that match the entries in rc.conf. The question is, should we also execute a netif stop/start sequence when this IP/router information is assigned? Are there other services that should also be stopped/restarted when the IP is set? Ideally, we want to avoid having to reboot the box to set the IP as we are doing. ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:33:00 +0100 From: Frank Staals Subject: Re: Do I need to run netif stop/start if IP is changed?

I used to have a script to switch between LAN and WLAN on my laptop which used only ifconfig , route flush and route add default .

Try setting the bios to ACHI mode this worked for me but I was not using the raid as a boot disk I merely wanted access to all 6 sata ports on the gigabyte board. Regards Graeme -----Original Message----- From: ThinkDifferently [mailto:Jeremy@FutureCIS.com]=20 Sent: 21 January 2009 20:27 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Closure: Help needed w/ HighPoint RocketRAID 3120 on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE In my research and unwitting trials with this particular motherboard (Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H), I found that, while it is generally well tolerated by FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, the onboard RAID is completely incompatible. Even when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0 device thus created, did not survive a reboot. Also, a software RAID was attempted -- after a minimal install from CD, the atacontrol command was used to create RAID ar0, then (without rebooting) exiting back to the installer, the OS was loaded onto it; however, upon reboot, ar0 could not be found. In other words, it could not boot from any RAID, whether by software in FreeBSD or by hardware on RocketRAID. The problem stems from the board's Southbridge SB700 chipset (the infamous 700 series). This chipset is not (yet?) supported in FreeBSD. Other notes on this board include the following: -Generic VGA worked. -The onboard LAN (chipset 8111C) worked in 7.1-RELEASE, but not 7.0. -If the SATA ports are put into AHCI or Native IDE modes, individual disks were recognized, but in RAID mode, neither the RAID nor individual disks could be seen. --=20 View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-needed-w--HighPoint-RocketRAID-3120-on-FreeBS D-7.1-RELEASE-tp21479839p21591518.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jan 21 20:36:06 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B4261065D06 for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:36:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from dkelly@Grumpy.DynDNS.org) Received: from smtp.knology.net (smtp.knology.net [24.214.63.101]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E454C8FC0A for ; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:36:05 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from dkelly@Grumpy.DynDNS.org) Received: (qmail 2189 invoked by uid 0); 21 Jan 2009 20:36:04 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO Grumpy.DynDNS.org) (75.76.211.79) by smtp3.knology.net with SMTP; 21 Jan 2009 20:36:04 -0000 Received: by Grumpy.DynDNS.org (Postfix, from userid 928) id 6CA5C28422; Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:36:04 -0600 (CST) Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:36:04 -0600 From: David Kelly To: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: <20090121203604.GA11666@Grumpy.DynDNS.org> References: <20090121202206.F0DF71065795@hub.freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.3i Cc: Subject: Solution: Re: [Trouble Ticket #190456] AutoReply: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 39 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:36:09 -0000 # idiot autoresponder on freebsd lists, 1/21/2009 :0 * ^From:.*support@aebc.com /dev/null -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.

The partition editor seems to be reading or parsing the partition table incorrectly. I had a 6.3-RELEASE system with the following layout: /dev/amrd3s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/amrd3s1g on /opt (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1e on /var/log (ufs, local, soft-updates) Upon booting into the 7.x install media and encountering the FDISK Partition Editor, the partition it's seeing is amrd3*a*s1, as opposed to amrd3s1. Trying to continue with the partition table and bsd labels as is only led to the installer bailing out. As soon as it would attempt to newfs the disk partitions, the installer would error and report that it can't find a device entry in /dev for amrd3*a*s1a. Since preserving the data on the disk was not critical, I was able to continue by deleting the original partition/slice and recreating them. This worked fine. However, I'm still curious as to what the cause of this is. I have seen this before on two other systems while installing 7.x, quite possibly while upgrading from 6.3. When this occurred, I was also moving from i386 to amd64; Is there some kind of offset for partition tables which may change based on architecture? Lastly, here's a screenshot of the partition editor: http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~spolyack/fbsd-install.jpg Unfortunately, I do not have any screenshots of the errors during the newfs step. If this comes up again, I'll be sure to take some. Thanks.

But then it also has 2 controllers - this mode changes only 4 of the sata ports. Using the sata mode in your case will give you access to all of the drives (with no raid mode defined on the controller) and then you can define the raid in software on FreeBSD with no muss, no fuss.

Look for whatever version FreeBSD you have (They may have 7.x drivers now, not when I last looked about a year ago) and that may get you out of trouble in the short term- or stick another known NIC in. Then you can keep track of whatever is going on in regards to the native drivers for your card.

As > you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code > so that this comment isn't needed?'" > Ok, so here's the correct way to fix this, I'm pretty sure: 1) You install firefox as root. When you log in as user, there is no ~/.mozilla/plugins; instead of making that folder and symlinking to swfdec in it, you should symlink: ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins ~/.mozilla/plugins 2) You are halfway there. I submitted a change-request to the swfdec-plugin port to do this, but until then, sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/swfdec-plugin/libswfdecmozilla.so /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/swfdec No idea how firefox would automatically make the plugin link in your home folder, so there's no fix for that. The swfdec source has just been updated (12/20/2008) and purportedly works with the likes of youtube, so it seems like a good flash solution for FreeBSD at the moment. It worked on the flash site I was trying to visit, and the adobe flash test page. Hope this helps some newbie(s) in the future...

After that, I rebuilt all the packages on the system as well. Now, I would like to update it again to 7.1-RELEASE, and I'm wondering whether I should do a clean install or just do a source upgrade again. My question is regarding all the old cruft that remains after the upgrade and rebuilding of all the packages, as I already know that there are a bunch of old libraries residing somewhere on the system. I would like to know if deleting everything in /usr/local/ completely cleans the system or not (I'm planning to reinstall all the packages as well), considering that some 6.4-RELEASE base libraries are still somewhere. Is there anywhere else that I should look?

So far I've got those rules: in_if="em0" out_if="em1" management_if="em2" in_ip="100.100.100.1" out_ip="200.200.200.1" management_ip="172.16.0.201" client1_subnet="192.168.5.0/26" client2_subnet="192.168.6.0/26" server_subnet="192.168.7.0/24" download_bandwidth="6144Kbit/s" upload_bandwidth="1024Kbit/s" delay="0" queue_size="10" cmd="ipfw" $cmd add 10 allow all from any to any via lo0 $cmd pipe 100 config mask src-ip 0xffffffff bw $upload_bandwidth queue $queue_size delay $delay $cmd pipe 200 config mask dst-ip 0xffffffff bw $download_bandwidth queue $queue_size $cmd add pipe 100 all from $client1_subnet to $server_subnet in via $in_if $cmd add pipe 200 all from $server_subnet to $client1_subnet out via $in_if $cmd add pipe 100 all from $client2_subnet to $server_subnet in via $in_if $cmd add pipe 200 all from $server_subnet to $client2_subnet out via $in_if $cmd add 10000 allow all from any to any via $management_if $cmd add 20000 allow all from any to any via $in_if $cmd add 30000 allow all from any to any via $out_if --- What I want to add now, is the possibility to limit the bandwidth of the whole link, e.g. 100Mbit/s. I've tried to add a pipe: $cmd pipe 50 config bw 100Mbit/s queue $queue_size $cmd add pipe 50 all from any to any via $in_if But when I have a look at the pipes with 'ipfw show' I can only see packets go through the pipe 50 and nothing goes through the other pipes (which makes sense actually since IPFW work that way?). Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sebastian M.

Please see my writeup on ASL at http://www.twincling.org/node/277 While i understand ASL, i'm keen to know what are the technical deviations (if any) in the BSD licsense followed by FreeBSD project. eg. if i write a device driver and release it under ASL 2.0, can it legally make into FreeBSD project ? -- thanks Saifi.

Try setting the bios to ACHI mode this worked for me but I was not using the raid as a boot disk I merely wanted access to all 6 sata ports on the gigabyte board. Regards Graeme -----Original Message----- From: ThinkDifferently [mailto:Jeremy@FutureCIS.com] Sent: 21 January 2009 20:27 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Closure: Help needed w/ HighPoint RocketRAID 3120 on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE In my research and unwitting trials with this particular motherboard (Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H), I found that, while it is generally well tolerated by FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, the onboard RAID is completely incompatible. Even when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0 device thus created, did not survive a reboot. Also, a software RAID was attempted -- after a minimal install from CD, the atacontrol command was used to create RAID ar0, then (without rebooting) exiting back to the installer, the OS was loaded onto it; however, upon reboot, ar0 could not be found. In other words, it could not boot from any RAID, whether by software in FreeBSD or by hardware on RocketRAID. The problem stems from the board's Southbridge SB700 chipset (the infamous 700 series). This chipset is not (yet?) supported in FreeBSD. Other notes on this board include the following: -Generic VGA worked. -The onboard LAN (chipset 8111C) worked in 7.1-RELEASE, but not 7.0. -If the SATA ports are put into AHCI or Native IDE modes, individual disks were recognized, but in RAID mode, neither the RAID nor individual disks could be seen. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-needed-w--HighPoint-RocketRAID-3120-on-FreeBS D-7.1-RELEASE-tp21479839p21591518.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:36:04 -0600 From: David Kelly Subject: Solution: Re: [Trouble Ticket #190456] AutoReply: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 39 To: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: <20090121203604.GA11666@Grumpy.DynDNS.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii # idiot autoresponder on freebsd lists, 1/21/2009 :0 * ^From:.*support@aebc.com /dev/null -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:01:30 -0500 From: Lowell Gilbert Subject: Re: 'top' shows wrong CPU usage To: KES Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <44k58os79x.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii KES writes: > top shows often nonsense in CPU usage of a process, but totals are OK > and it seems that WCPU and CPU has no differences in results Why do you think it's nonsense?

The partition editor seems to be reading or parsing the partition table incorrectly. I had a 6.3-RELEASE system with the following layout: /dev/amrd3s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/amrd3s1g on /opt (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1e on /var/log (ufs, local, soft-updates) Upon booting into the 7.x install media and encountering the FDISK Partition Editor, the partition it's seeing is amrd3*a*s1, as opposed to amrd3s1. Trying to continue with the partition table and bsd labels as is only led to the installer bailing out. As soon as it would attempt to newfs the disk partitions, the installer would error and report that it can't find a device entry in /dev for amrd3*a*s1a. Since preserving the data on the disk was not critical, I was able to continue by deleting the original partition/slice and recreating them. This worked fine. However, I'm still curious as to what the cause of this is. I have seen this before on two other systems while installing 7.x, quite possibly while upgrading from 6.3. When this occurred, I was also moving from i386 to amd64; Is there some kind of offset for partition tables which may change based on architecture? Lastly, here's a screenshot of the partition editor: http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~spolyack/fbsd-install.jpg Unfortunately, I do not have any screenshots of the errors during the newfs step. If this comes up again, I'll be sure to take some.

But then it also has 2 controllers - this mode changes only 4 of the sata ports. Using the sata mode in your case will give you access to all of the drives (with no raid mode defined on the controller) and then you can define the raid in software on FreeBSD with no muss, no fuss. Depends on what you like I guess. > I have read there have been problems with the realtek 8169/8111c NIC > card on some systems with under FreeBSD, but I cant seem to find a > solution to this. > I'm not sure of the differences between the c and e types of rtl8111, but the e has third party drivers which can be built on 6.x. As to whether there are third party drivers for c I'm not sure. Look for whatever version FreeBSD you have (They may have 7.x drivers now, not when I last looked about a year ago) and that may get you out of trouble in the short term- or stick another known NIC in. Then you can keep track of whatever is going on in regards to the native drivers for your card.

As > you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code > so that this comment isn't needed?'" > Ok, so here's the correct way to fix this, I'm pretty sure: 1) You install firefox as root. When you log in as user, there is no ~/.mozilla/plugins; instead of making that folder and symlinking to swfdec in it, you should symlink: ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins ~/.mozilla/plugins 2) You are halfway there. I submitted a change-request to the swfdec-plugin port to do this, but until then, sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/swfdec-plugin/libswfdecmozilla.so /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/swfdec No idea how firefox would automatically make the plugin link in your home folder, so there's no fix for that. The swfdec source has just been updated (12/20/2008) and purportedly works with the likes of youtube, so it seems like a good flash solution for FreeBSD at the moment. It worked on the flash site I was trying to visit, and the adobe flash test page. Hope this helps some newbie(s) in the future...

After that, I rebuilt all the packages on the system as well. Now, I would like to update it again to 7.1-RELEASE, and I'm wondering whether I should do a clean install or just do a source upgrade again. My question is regarding all the old cruft that remains after the upgrade and rebuilding of all the packages, as I already know that there are a bunch of old libraries residing somewhere on the system. I would like to know if deleting everything in /usr/local/ completely cleans the system or not (I'm planning to reinstall all the packages as well), considering that some 6.4-RELEASE base libraries are still somewhere. Is there anywhere else that I should look?

I cleaned it up, and it works perfectly now... sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks again!! _________________________________________________________________ �Qu� puedes hacer con el nuevo Windows Live?

Do you have ports-mgmt/portupgrade(-devel) installed? If so, are you aware of "portsclean"? This has worked successfully for me for several years.

I'm using FreeBSD 7.0 with IPFW DUMMYNET enabled. I've got a problem with creating a ruleset which allows me to limit the overall bandwidth of a link and afterwards pass the packets to another pipe for processing. So far I've got those rules: in_if="em0" out_if="em1" management_if="em2" in_ip="100.100.100.1" out_ip="200.200.200.1" management_ip="172.16.0.201" client1_subnet="192.168.5.0/26" client2_subnet="192.168.6.0/26" server_subnet="192.168.7.0/24" download_bandwidth="6144Kbit/s" upload_bandwidth="1024Kbit/s" delay="0" queue_size="10" cmd="ipfw" $cmd add 10 allow all from any to any via lo0 $cmd pipe 100 config mask src-ip 0xffffffff bw $upload_bandwidth queue $queue_size delay $delay $cmd pipe 200 config mask dst-ip 0xffffffff bw $download_bandwidth queue $queue_size $cmd add pipe 100 all from $client1_subnet to $server_subnet in via $in_if $cmd add pipe 200 all from $server_subnet to $client1_subnet out via $in_if $cmd add pipe 100 all from $client2_subnet to $server_subnet in via $in_if $cmd add pipe 200 all from $server_subnet to $client2_subnet out via $in_if $cmd add 10000 allow all from any to any via $management_if $cmd add 20000 allow all from any to any via $in_if $cmd add 30000 allow all from any to any via $out_if --- What I want to add now, is the possibility to limit the bandwidth of the whole link, e.g. 100Mbit/s. I've tried to add a pipe: $cmd pipe 50 config bw 100Mbit/s queue $queue_size $cmd add pipe 50 all from any to any via $in_if But when I have a look at the pipes with 'ipfw show' I can only see packets go through the pipe 50 and nothing goes through the other pipes (which makes sense actually since IPFW work that way?). Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please see my writeup on ASL at http://www.twincling.org/node/277 While i understand ASL, i'm keen to know what are the technical deviations (if any) in the BSD licsense followed by FreeBSD project. eg. if i write a device driver and release it under ASL 2.0, can it legally make into FreeBSD project ? -- thanks Saifi. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" End of freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 43 ************************************************** From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jan 22 12:31:12 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5D650106564A for ; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:31:12 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from vince@unsane.co.uk) Received: from unsane.co.uk (unsane-pt.tunnel.tserv5.lon1.ipv6.he.net [IPv6:2001:470:1f08:110::2]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AD8978FC0C for ; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:31:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from vince@unsane.co.uk) Received: from vhoffman.lon.namesco.net (126.117-84-212.staticip.namesco.net [212.84.117.126]) (authenticated bits=0) by unsane.co.uk (8.14.0/8.14.0) with ESMTP id n0MCWCYF030050 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO); Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:32:13 GMT (envelope-from vince@unsane.co.uk) Message-ID: <4978670C.4000708@unsane.co.uk> Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:31:08 +0000 From: Vincent Hoffman User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (Macintosh/20081209) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Saifi Khan References: <9a52b1190901201015v68473203w649af60b08fca0d2@mail.gmail.com> <4976F5E2.7090907@unsane.co.uk> <9a52b1190901220320p66f69d4eg5c7032fff74b469f@mail.gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <9a52b1190901220320p66f69d4eg5c7032fff74b469f@mail.gmail.com> X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ASL 2.0 based software contribution to FreeBSD code base X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:31:12 -0000 Saifi Khan wrote: > On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 10:16 AM, Vincent Hoffman wrote: > >> Saifi Khan wrote: >> >>> Hi: >>> >>> Is Apache Software License (ASL) 2.0 based software contributions >>> accepted in FreeBSD code base ? >>> >>> Specific case to consider would be: >>> a. device driver code released under ASL 2.0 >>> b. code contributed to kernel (eg. scheduler implementation) under ASL 2.0 >>> c. code contributed to userland (eg. new implementation of ctags) under ASL 2.0 >>> >>> Can some of the experienced members share how things work within the >>> context of FreeBSD project ? >>> >>> >>> >> I was going to answer with >> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/pref-license.html >> however in a recent discussion on the -current list >> (http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=163526+0+current/freebsd-current) >> Brooks Davis said >> "This file is outdated.

However I could well be wrong and its almost certainly worth asking these questions again on the freebsd-current mailing list where developers who might actually know the answers hang out.

You can find a list here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.htm= l. Look for one which has the comment "(http)" after its name. For example http://ftp2.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/. There is a subdirectory "doc" which contains all the documentation for all available languages.

If you have made user toor able to be logged in to without a password, then I would be surprised if your system isn't riddled with rootkits and other trash and if it isn't, it deserves to be. You should no more make toor or any other id accessible without password or some authentication/authorization required control than you should do it for root. Good grief!!

I know one can embed players into html code; however, wheat I specifically want is for someone to be able to click on a particular file in my apache server directory and then, when it begins streaming, have it play via a quicktime embedded interface that gives the client the option to manipulate its size. Ideally, I would like to generate a single bit of html code that can apply to all the files (rather than generate a series of href anchors for each).

I'm able to get the exact same behavior by installing a 7.1-RELEASE system (single slice, da0s1), then booting off the install media and start a new installation.

If you use -y, fsck is allowed > to do anything it considers neccessary doing. fsck on a live filesystem (hint: NO WRITE) is a bad idea. Doing an fsck that is supposed to repair stuff, always requires downtime, unless you use background_fsck. However, many people discourage it's usage as it can leave some errors unfixed.

One is a hot/cold failover like carp only I used freevrrpd (/usr/ports/net/freevrrpd). The second one is a simple loadbalancer called pen (/usr/ports/net/pen (http://siag.nu hit the 'More stuff' link). The third approach would be using dns - providing you run your own dns, you could do simple round-robin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS). The easiest one, providing you have a mirror of your web server would probably be pen. /R From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jan 22 19:41:03 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To:

Read =A716.12 (Backup Basics) in the FreeBSD Handbook. You'll find the English version in /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-bas= ics.html. For full backups dump(8) and mt(1) seem to be the tools of choice. If you use dump and you want encryption, you could pipe the dump output through openssl to encrypt it with e.g. the AES algorithm with a 256 bit key. Run 'openssl enc -help' to see the encryption algorithms available. All the tools mentioned above are available in the base system, which is a prequisite for restoring system partitions in my book. My own backup strategy is to write dumps or /, /usr and /var to an external USB harddisk or DVD, for an easy restore. For large data partition= s I prefer to rsync(1) to a geli(8) encrypted partition on an external harddisk, because it is faster and more convenient than a dump.

I am writing a script that I want to terminate after 1 second (because it has the potential to infinite loop). The script I have so far is: #!/bin/sh cd `dirname "$0"` CLASSPATH=mapgen.jar export CLASSPATH /usr/local/bin/java PipeGenerator $* The java process has the potential to run forever, and I want it to run for at most 1 second then get killed. I could write a parent script that somehow gets the PID of the child script, but the problem is that the java program writes to standard out, the result of the program is written to standard out. I also don't really want to share a PID with a temporary file. So what I might do is this: /usr/local/bin/java PipeGenerator $* & sleep 1 Also with the above code I would be waiting for 1 second even if the java process finished sooner. But that is a penalty I'm willing to pay, unless there is a more elegant solution. How do I do this?

You could try graphics/xfig if you want an interactive graphical program. Or cad/qcad for a real 2D drafting program.

Give this a try: #!/bin/sh java() { echo 'start' sleep 5 echo 'stop' } sleep 1 && kill $$ & java kill $! Replace the java function with your code. The basic idea is that you start a child process which will kill its parent after 1 second (parent pid is $$, child is $!). If the java command terminates before then, the child is killed. Test both cases out by commenting out 'sleep 5' line above. - Max From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jan 22 22:08:35 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D9E61106567B for ; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:08:35 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from frank@esperance-linux.co.uk) Received: from mailout.zetnet.co.uk (mailout.zetnet.co.uk [194.247.47.231]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8C7EF8FC1A for ; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:08:34 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from frank@esperance-linux.co.uk) Received: from irwell.zetnet.co.uk ([194.247.47.48] helo=zetnet.co.uk) by mailout.zetnet.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from ) id 1LQ7iz-0006wJ-GF; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:08:33 +0000 Received: from melon.esperance-linux.co.uk (54-144.adsl.zetnet.co.uk [194.247.54.144]) by zetnet.co.uk (8.14.1/8.14.1/Debian-9) with ESMTP id n0MM8WXe004087; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:08:33 GMT Received: by melon.esperance-linux.co.uk (Postfix, from userid 1001) id A5091FCA6A0; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:08:27 +0000 (GMT) Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:08:27 +0000 From: Frank Shute To: Steve Franks Message-ID: <20090122220827.GA85944@melon.esperance-linux.co.uk> Mail-Followup-To: Steve Franks , FreeBSD Mailing List References: <539c60b90901221249q19142c73rd8ccf164cb07fc5a@mail.gmail.com> <20090122212812.GA85841@melon.esperance-linux.co.uk> <539c60b90901221350x4a77e288h6fec595ef10a0e4a@mail.gmail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <539c60b90901221350x4a77e288h6fec595ef10a0e4a@mail.gmail.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.3i X-Face: *}~{PHnDTzvXPe'wl_-f%!@+r5; VLhb':*DsX%wEOPg\fDrXWQJf|2\,92"DdS%63t*BHDyQ|OWo@Gfjcd72eaN!4%NE{0]p)ihQ1MyFNtWL X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE-p2 i386 X-Organisation: 'http://www.shute.org.uk/' X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.1.7 (zetnet.co.uk [194.247.46.1]); Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:08:33 +0000 (GMT) Cc: FreeBSD Mailing List Subject: Re: how to clear scroll-back buffer in console/xterm?

That is very genious. However, I had to add an "exec" to the parent script. Here is the test parent script, see the exec line below: #!/bin/sh cd `dirname "$0"` THIS_SCRIPT_PROCESS="$$" sleep 5 && echo "killing parent script, PID $THIS_SCRIPT_PROCESS" && kill "$THIS_SCRIPT_PROCESS" & TERMINATOR_PROCESS="$!" exec ./child_script echo "killing terminator process, PID $TERMINATOR_PROCESS" && kill "$TERMINATOR_PROCESS" And here is the child script "child_script": #!/bin/sh echo "start" while true; do # Infinite loop; use some CPU so that it's easy to find this in the output of top. echo "foo" > /dev/null done echo "stop" Without the "exec" in the parent script, the parent's child is not killed when the parent is killed.

So the terminator process that waits to kill its parent always waits the full 5 seconds in the background. If I pipe the output of the parent script through less, it waits 5 seconds before it reaches the end of the output. That is annoying. Is there any way to solve that?

However, it puts the old libraries in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, and on my system, there are some files in that directory. Since I have rebuilt all the packages, my question was how to be sure if that they are not being used anymore and hwo to get rid of these old libraries. Is it safe for me to simply delete them? Also, what are all these unreferenced libraries (according to libchk) doing on my machine (see the previous post)?

The question is, should the tool execute the ifconfig and route commands or should the tool simply call netif stop/start so that the tool does not have to be maintained for those command sequences and dependencies of netif get processed (i.e.: /etc/rc.d/pf resync). -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.

I use portupgrade, and apparently, the upgrade process leaves them there. I was also not aware of the 'make delete-old' step! I had never seen it before. I did the source upgrade of my machine following what is in the handbook, but i don't remember doing any 'make delete-old'... What should I do with the unreferenced libraries and the ones on the /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ directory?

Unreferenced can mean "no program or other library uses this library", but can also mean "libchk was unable to find a program that uses this library, yet a program/library might still need it through runtime loading". If you're interested in the technical details, see dlopen(3). All libchk can determine is whether a library is linked against, not whether it uses some construct to dynamically load a library upon request. That said: - if libfoo.so.2 is said to be unreferenced - AND libfoo.so.3 (or higher) exists - it is 99.9% safe to assume libfoo.so.2 can be deleted. Also, for the list libchk gives concerning not anything in /usr/local, execute: cd /usr/src make delete-old-libs You should've done that right after you rebuilt your ports [1], but you can still do it. Last but not least, since you're doing a *minor* version upgrade, it's not strictly necessary to rebuild all your ports. Keeping them up-to-date is not a bad idea, but unless it's explicitedly mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING, no library in FreeBSD is version bumped, so that installed applications break. This only applies to *major* version upgrades. [1] It's possible to do after source upgrade and before port rebuild, but not if you use portupgrade (use portmaster instead), since it needs ruby which is linked to the old 6.x libraries. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.

Here's another option without exec: #!/bin/sh -T kill_all() { echo 'killing everything' kill $SPID $CPID 2> /dev/null exit 0 } trap kill_all SIGCHLD ./child & CPID=$! sleep 5 & SPID=$! echo "child is $CPID" echo "sleeper is $SPID" wait Here I'm using the fact that the termination of any child process causes SIGCHILD to be sent to the parent. Notice the '-T' in the first line; this is important, because without it the 'wait' call isn't interrupted until both children are dead. Unfortunately, this is a non-standard option, so you'll have to check if it is supported in your environment. - Max From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 00:36:24 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 458D6106567D for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:36:24 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mksmith@adhost.com) Received: from mail-defer01.adhost.com (mail-defer01.adhost.com [216.211.128.176]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 181798FC1B for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:36:23 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mksmith@adhost.com) Received: from mail-in01.adhost.com (mail-in01.adhost.com [10.212.3.11]) by mail-defer01.adhost.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id CAB0C10B08 for ; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:20:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mksmith@adhost.com) Received: from ad-exh01.adhost.lan (exchange.adhost.com [216.211.143.69]) by mail-in01.adhost.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 20AFE2D74CB for ; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:20:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mksmith@adhost.com) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5 MIME-Version: 1.0 x-pgp-encoding-format: MIME x-pgp-mapi-encoding-version: 2.5.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; micalg=pgp-sha1; boundary="PGP_Universal_FED48C35_02C41B2A_031AEEB6_2A0A4AE9" x-pgp-encoding-version: 2.0.2 Content-class: urn:content-classes:message Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:20:16 -0800 Message-ID: <17838240D9A5544AAA5FF95F8D5203160565864E@ad-exh01.adhost.lan> X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: Issues with PF and 7.1 Thread-Index: Acl88Fn8yIBQIQVcRbOt56+Gcpsy2w== From: "Michael K.

I have just acquired a new computer to replace an old server. This older server has been running FreeBSD 5.3 since 2004 and most of its packages are way out of date. I've been scared of changing something in fear of rendering the machine unbootable, or some core applications unrunnable. I want to make sure I have better routines this time around, when I'm starting a-fresh. I'd like to keep my system and packages fairly up to date, and still keep the compiling to a minimum. Is it possible to pkg_add -r packages from -STABLE on the latest -RELEASE? That is, will the following work, or slowly render my system to an incoherent state: 1) Regularly run freebsd-update 2) Regularly run portsnap 3) Set my PACKAGESITE to the -STABLE location 4) Regularly run portupgrade -P Will the postsnap'ed index always be in sync with what's available as precompiled packages for -STABLE? Will these -STABLE packages always run on my freebsd-update'd -RELEASE system? If some ports have the NO_PACKAGE bit set, will compiling them against dependencies from -STABLE work, as long as I've run portsnap?

The FreeBSD ports do contain a converter OE -> mbox, and after transforming the OE boxes into mbox format, they should be importable without problems. Another idea would be to "manually import" them, this means that you would not use TB's import function, but instead locate where it stores mail, check file naming conventions and then put the mail in there manually, hoping that TB would recognize and maybe index them at next startup. I'm not sure about how the OE -> mbox converter from the ports collection was called, but I remember having read it somewhere...

Like all my development code in ~/devel, and all my music mp3's and ogg's in ~/Music, and all my online and mp3 books from libribox.org in ~/readings. There are PDF files and HTML and a slew of other stuff. Can I use K3B or some other GUI program to create a filesystem on either a few CD's or one DVD? Right now, I'm cross-backing up stuff to four live servers. It's just data, but I would like to be able to inset it into my optical tray, cd to it and cd to wherever and read or listen to AND (if some disaster strikes) be able to copy my files from the disc to the computer. I think I figured out how to create a tiny filesystem on a floppy disc, but this was a Long time ago.

A compromise might be to stick to the release packages, until portaudit reveals a significant vulnerability and then switch to Stable until the next release.

An idea that would come to my mind would be this: 1. Let the lecture content (QT video) be handeled by an external program, i. e. mplayer. 2. If the content has been selected and the download / downstream starts, mplayer plays it, and (according to the window manager used) mplayer's window can be changed in size. Or, more easily, the key "f" can be pressed to put mplayer into fullscreen mode. This would only require changes on the clients' site. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...

A very good hint. Didn't I mention it? No? Bad idea. Background concept: The fsck utility does changes to the file system when repairing it, and the kind of these changes implies that the file system is not mounted, so there's no unexpected interruption by maybe a write operation from a program.

Works there, but you can still press the Scroll Lock key and then use the cursor / page moving keys to check what's "up" there. If you need to clear the console when logging out, just put the command clear in your ~/.logout, or globally into /etc/csh.logout. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...

Anything "push-button"? Perhaps there is something like that, but I do it manually like this: * mkdir cdr/ * copy approx 3.0 to 3.1 GB worth of files into cdr/ * mkisofs -R -J -o cdr.iso cdr/ Then use dvdisaster (/usr/ports/sysutils/dvdisaster) to augment cdr.iso with RS02 error correction data. This creates a bigger cdr.iso of 4.4GB ISO with approx 32% to 40% redundancy, which is quite good. Now, burn it to DVD: * growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 /dev/cd0=cdr.iso and make sure your system is as (disk-)idle as possible while burning. To use growisofs, install it from /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools. You may need to # kldload atapicam so that you can get /dev/cd0. Don't forget that you need write permission to /dev/cd0 and /dev/pass0, so either run growisofs as root, or add this to /etc/devfs.rules: perm cd0 0666 perm pass0 0666 and restart devfs (/etc/rc.d/devfs restart). After having burned the DVD, eject it, and insert it again. Then read it back in with dvdisaster (to some OTHER directory!), and verify the integrity of the backup (with dvdisaster). That's an important step, as you can never be sure that the burning was flawless, unless you were able to read it back in without faulty sectors. If you plan to archive the DVDs, be sure to schedule some date in a couple of years ahead to read them back in and verify their condition. If some of those DVDs developed bad sectors, you could then try to reconstruct those with dvdisaster (but only if you created the error correction data before burning!), and burn a new DVD. Oh, and try to stick to good DVD blanks like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim (only those made in Taiwan or Japan) to minimize the risk of bad sectors (i.e. especially avoid no-names or el-cheapo blanks). You can also do without dvdisaster, and write more than 3 GB to the DVDs, but if you plan to archive them and be able to read them a few years ahead, you'll highly value the error correction codes overhead. ;) Oh, and you'll still have to read the data back after burning, just to be sure everything's okay. Some kind of checksums (md5, sha256) of the directories would be useful, so plan ahead and add them before creating the ISO. Note that all this is possibly already integrated in K3B or some other fancy GUI front-ends, or it may not: I'm not familiar with the GUI tools. > tia, > > gary Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 01:48:18 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EE9CC106564A for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:48:18 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from freebsd@edvax.de) Received: from mx02.qsc.de (mx02.qsc.de [213.148.130.14]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7F11F8FC26 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:48:18 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from freebsd@edvax.de) Received: from r55.edvax.de (port-92-196-68-197.dynamic.qsc.de [92.196.68.197]) by mx02.qsc.de (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3193C16C00EE; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:48:17 +0100 (CET) Received: from r55.edvax.de (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by r55.edvax.de (8.14.2/8.14.2) with SMTP id n0N1mBxE002193; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:48:11 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from freebsd@edvax.de) Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:48:11 +0100 From: Polytropon To: Gary Kline Message-Id: <20090123024811.9bdf4b3f.freebsd@edvax.de> In-Reply-To: <20090123011043.GA86638@thought.org> References: <20090123011043.GA86638@thought.org> Organization: EDVAX X-Mailer: Sylpheed 2.4.7 (GTK+ 2.12.1; i386-portbld-freebsd7.0) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: FreeBSD Mailing List Subject: Re: how to create a DVD backup filesystem?

You would need a "two stage approach". 1. Create an ISO-9660 file system with a standard RockRidge extension. This would allow you to master a file system for the CD or DVD which is usually represented by a .iso file. 2. You record this file onto a CD or DVD using the "data disc" settings. Of course, K3B can do this with an implicite step 1 ("on the fly") with no .iso file hanging around. > I think I figured out how to create a tiny filesystem on a floppy > disc, but this was a Long time ago. Do you think you can tell me what a "floppy disc" would look like? :-) Don't confuse "disk" ("floppy disk") and "disc" (like CD or DVD). > Anything "push-button"? K3B should be able to generate an ISO-9660 file system with the standard RockRidge extension. But if you do consider 3 lines of shell code "push-button", maybe this is for you: % mkisofs -r -o /tmp/kline.iso ~/kline % cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=32 -v -eject -tao -data /tmp/kline.iso % rm /tmp/kline.iso Don't store the .iso file within the subtree you're recording, this may lead to infinity. :-) Of course, you don't need to use cdrecord. The burncd command or cdrdao will do fine, too. For a DVD, you need growisofs. % growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/kline.iso In my opinion, all this stuff is more "push-button" than trying to find all the settings in a GUI application. :-) As a sidenote, I just like to mention that you don't need to use an ISO-9660 filesystem. Because we're on FreeBSD here, you can use any (!) file system on a CD or DVD, such as UFS or tar (check advantages and disadvantages). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...

Bacula has a bit of a learning curve to set up corretly, but I really enjoy its use once it it set up correctly. -- Geoff From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 04:31:30 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6CF72106566B for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:31:30 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from toold.zhang@gmail.com) Received: from mail-qy0-f17.google.com (mail-qy0-f17.google.com [209.85.221.17]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 222698FC13 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:31:30 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from toold.zhang@gmail.com) Received: by qyk10 with SMTP id 10so6987438qyk.19 for ; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:31:29 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:date:from:to:subject :message-id:user-agent:mime-version:content-type; bh=gbymnjrMnxYZn1k8S+EPKR7Sc0or4EwkkYMilUK2ESc=; b=BsO32P3wzRBuBDfYQIpQ/h6qJixSJEwnvJRIZ3uQRX6yz3rrAlm9M470+pPRaDFzkM WjI2cs/HPvmx9K9Uo3hmKimCz0uByTuVmjDgxrnvkusKNxQsT9Y+Di+T09AY2J8VzGvm zxOIgQBroHnK1ZlAPzWNT4EYvvh/P1DuiCOWw= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=date:from:to:subject:message-id:user-agent:mime-version :content-type; b=ESoGivj9Z0ZnLFBuo8oPtG/SGNPfv3Qzzg2f83rZNJja9GHIGWZyOhWxrGxSmjMiYC 0m75hFavI5NcoL9NxLzgYbAcltYAMGJp1E+oZ3AyyOgS9omuzj5NkGY39MIcK86OjdLH jCV8yLKqLrJeb2rIgin2TYlPIWDCUlZt9qIzk= Received: by 10.214.116.15 with SMTP id o15mr7812933qac.246.1232683587190; Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:06:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from dell.home (pool-173-67-8-78.bltmmd.fios.verizon.net [173.67.8.78]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id 6sm12076112ywi.36.2009.01.22.20.06.26 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=RC4-MD5); Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:06:26 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:06:05 -0500 (EST) From: Old Zhang To: FreeBSD Mailing List Message-ID: User-Agent: Alpine 2.00 (BSF 1167 2008-08-23) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII Subject: flashplugin7 doesn't play video X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:31:30 -0000 I just updated linux-flashplugin7, xorg, and firefox (version 2) up to date.

According to % man mkisofs the command above would (1) create the nonstandard "Joilet" extension that is required by MICROS~1 products in order to use >8.3 file names. Instead of -R, I would suggest -r for the standard RockRidge extension because it stores UNIX attributes in a good way for further usage (all files +r, no files +w). This makes further handling more easy eventually. You would end up with a pre-mastered ISO-9660+RR file system that you could load into K3B and then record it onto CD or DVD. > Exact "where do I click" instructions, please. We're not in MICROS~1 land here. :-) I had never use for K3B, so only time I saw it was when I toyed around with PC-BSD. But I remember it has a setting for "data disc" or "burn from a file" wich is easy if you already have the premastered ISO image there. > Alao, if I'm > brave enough to use GUI, can I use ~/devel, ~/Music, and, say > ~/texts? Why not? The only restrictions I would apply would be to make the file names a bit "tidy". Of course, there's no problem using accents and Umlauts and all this stuff, and spaces, ampersands and who knows what else, but for maximum reading sureness, it's a good idea to only use a standard character set for the file names. If you only want to create an ISO from some subtrees, you can do this with mkisofs: % mkisofs -r -o /tmp/cd.iso ~/devel ~/Music ~/texts But this will discard the first level of directories, if I remember correctly. Another idea would be to temporally symlink the stuff that you want to include, then run mkisofs on the directory containing the symlinks - they get "translated" into the file structures they point at automatically, if I remember correctly. Or, if you've got enough time, just copy them, creating a "master composition tree" that will look the way if should be on the DVD then. > ---I have learned to mouse-around and select my > favorite mp3 and ogg-vorbis tunes, but that's just 80 minutes of > music. No mount, no umount. For mounting, have the correct setting in /etc/fstab, such as # /etc/fstab # ========== # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# # ----------- --------------------- ------ ------------- ----- ----- /dev/acd0 /media/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd0 /media/dvd cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd1 /media/writer cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 > OK, then what about the mount, umount commands? > > % mount /dev/cd0 /mnt > > // cd to /dev/dv0, read, listen, whatever. Then:: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No, cd to the mount point, /mnt or /media/dvd or whatever you've chosen. You can use /dev/cd0 only if atapicam is present (loaded as a kernel module or from within the kernel). If your /etc/fstab does not specify a mount rule, don't forget to add -o ro because it's a read-only media, the system should know this. > % umount /dev/cd0 Possible, but mostly it's more convenient to umount the mountpoint instead of the device, but should work in any of the both ways. > ?? Would this work with our FBSD filesystem and-or RockRidge? Depends on it, see /etc/fstab above; this mount command implies ISO-9660 as the file system. Instead of cutting your filenames down to 8.3 MICROS~1 style, the RockRidge extension will provide the correct file names. If you put an UFS file system onto the DVD, you would need a different command, such as % mount -t ufs -o ro /dev/acd0 /mnt -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...

Using tar onto acd may not work, but utilizing atapicam, it could eventually work with cd directly: % tar cvjf /dev/cd0 ~/.* ~/devel ~/music ~/texts But this does not (!) make the media mountable! You may see that as a disadvantage, but maybe it's not: You can access it now directly without needing to mount it, and you can extract from it by selection, e. g. % tar xvjf /dev/cd0 ~/music to only extract the music/ subtree. The tar "file system" is best for interoperability because (if I may say this) every UNIX-like OS can read tar, no matter if you put it n discs, disks, tapes or even hard disks or USB sticks. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...

Just curious on this one..... The compilation takes forever. Ok, so my new computer (which isn't exactly "new") will be a lot faster than the one it replaces, but still. I can always compile coreutils and stuff like that, but larger applications, I would want to install binary. Also, there is little advantage nowadays in compiling yourself.

I am assuming you have the latest version of portmanager and an updated ports tree. Try just running portmanager in a generic fashion; i.e.: portmanager -u -l -p -y See if that corrects the problem. Also, can you run it as root rather than using sudo? I have no idea if that would make any difference; however, I never use sudo when running portmanager myself. Also, you probably have portsclean installed. Clean out your /usr/ports/distfiles directory and then run: portsclean -CLP Prior to running portmanger. It cannot hurt and it might fix something. You might also consider doing a deinstall/reinstall of portmanger if you feel the program might have gotten damaged. --=20 Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com FOR SALE: Parachute. Used once. Never opened.

In the default installation, there are a daily system check script and a daily security check script included in periodic. You can easily configure your system so e-mails are sent to you every days with the output of the execution of those scripts (usually sent to root). Also, freebsd-update can also be configured as a cron job that will fetch the latest update and send you an e-mail if core system updates are available. portsnap cron job will be executed in the security periodic job and will tell you if any of your installed ports need to be updated for security reasons. So... I always check the output of those runs in my e-mails every morning or every few days. If there is an update available from freebsd-update, I install it and I reboot the complete server if there is an update for the kernel or a used kernel module, or only a few services that depend on the updated files (often sshd). About my ports, I only upgrade those that get security notices. This way my system has been very stable, up to date and it doesn't take too much time to maintain it in this state. The only time where I upgrade all my ports is when I update my entire system to a newer FreeBSD revision (7.0 -> 7.1, etc.). I'll also likely stay on a particular revision of FreeBSD until the security updates are ended for it. I first went from 6.2 to 6.3 on my old server because 6.3 was flagged for long term support (2 years). Went from 6.3 to 7.0 because I replaced my old server (Dual Pentium II) with new hardware. And I went from 7.0 to 7.1 because some new drivers were available to better support my new hardware (EIST on 45nm Intel CPUs, Atheros L1E network adapter).

Do you know that saying "it's a shame..." you are actually speaking about yourself either? The port is maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org (it's a public maillist). That means that the port is maintained by all FreeBSD users uncluding you. Since you use this port you may consider updating the port and send a PR about it. That's may be your contribution to the project. You even may become a maintainer of the port. Thanks for your contribution in advance!

It's listed in the UPDATING file, which the handbook describes as required reading for updates.

If you write a UFS filesystem to CD/DVD, you can mount it from FreeBSD (and probably other BSDs like NetBSD, OpenBSD, ...), but not from, say, Windows. So yes, it will work on FreeBSD. If you write an ISO-9660 filesystem on the CD/DVD, you can mount it from FreeBSD/Linux/Unix/... and Windows. It will work. As archive, I'd recommend a filesystem that can be mounted by as many platforms as possible, and that is currently ISO-9660 with RockRidge and Joliet. You just need to be aware of the fact, that you could also put other filesystem types or even raw tar archives on the CD/DVD if you prefer. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 15:30:31 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9FCBB106564A for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:30:31 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cpghost@cordula.ws) Received: from fw.farid-hajji.net (fw.farid-hajji.net [213.146.115.42]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 23DFB8FC19 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:30:30 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cpghost@cordula.ws) Received: from phenom.cordula.ws (phenom [192.168.254.60]) by fw.farid-hajji.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id EF04A3682D; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:30:28 +0100 (CET) Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:33:21 +0100 From: cpghost To: "Jack L.

Some programs will not run because of a library version bump. Those programs will need to be recompiled, i.e. rebuild all ports. You can check this by running 'ldd' on the specific program. Let's assume that you have zip installed: $ ldd /usr/local/bin/zip /usr/local/bin/zip: libbz2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.3 (0x80065c000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x80076c000) If it required libc.so.6 instead of libc.so.7, and there's no libc.so.6 anymore after the upgrade, you'll need to recompile zip. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 15:42:19 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CDD7C106564A for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:42:19 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from jerrymc@gizmo.acns.msu.edu) Received: from gizmo.acns.msu.edu (gizmo.acns.msu.edu [35.8.1.43]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8CE1E8FC08 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:42:19 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from jerrymc@gizmo.acns.msu.edu) Received: from gizmo.acns.msu.edu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by gizmo.acns.msu.edu (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id n0NFfLcn070940; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:41:21 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jerrymc@gizmo.acns.msu.edu) Received: (from jerrymc@localhost) by gizmo.acns.msu.edu (8.13.6/8.13.6/Submit) id n0NFfLLq070939; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:41:21 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from jerrymc) Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:41:21 -0500 From: Jerry McAllister To: bsd Message-ID: <20090123154121.GB70889@gizmo.acns.msu.edu> References: <1B33B4FC-D369-42C5-B0EF-4F213E2F2FD0@todoo.biz> <20090123032112.GE30866@dev.null> <6556CBA0-8823-4AC0-B8A6-A9D31F614168@todoo.biz> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In-Reply-To: <6556CBA0-8823-4AC0-B8A6-A9D31F614168@todoo.biz> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.2i Cc: Liste FreeBSD Subject: Re: Backup program on FreeBSD for DLT drive X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:42:20 -0000 On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 08:06:43AM +0100, bsd wrote: > Yes, > > This is probably the one I'll go for? > There is a good hack described in the O'Reilly "BSD hacks" to setup > Bacula?

This will avoid binaries becoming linked to inconsistent sets of libraries when future port upgrades rebuild one port but not others that link to it. This can be done with: # portupgrade -faP after updating your system. Note some of the tools to help with this or the instructions below for FreeBSD Update are not installed by default (e.g. portupgrade, gpg, or similar tools like portmaster). Instead to use portupgrade you can wipe out _all_ installed packages (pkg_delete -a) and reinstall them again.

Right now, I'm cross-backing up it's best NOT to use "GUI" interfaces for this. as always - doing it from command line is much easier when you learn. and - you ARE NOT forced to use ISO-9660 filesystem. in unix recorded DVD is just readonly disk, you can use any filesystem it supports. if you do this often and your DVD's don't need to be windoze-readable (which could be adventage sometimes) then: - create partitions of exactly 9180416 sectors (which is 2295104 2K sectors - exactly DVD size) - use newfs to create partition. for best results use options newfs -m 0 -b 32768 -f 4096 -i 524288 note that -i specify how much bytes is available per inode. more given=less inodes created and less space wasted, but you may run out of inodes storing small files. this example allows you to store about 8900 files. - mount it and record what you like as usual - unmount and use growisofs to record a disc. use that disc with mount -r /dev/cd0 /mountpoint From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 16:10:56 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 57FF91065686 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:10:56 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl [IPv6:2001:4070:101:2::1]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 956068FC1A for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:10:55 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n0NGAQAU038186; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:10:26 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from localhost (wojtek@localhost) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) with ESMTP id n0NGAQ4x038183; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:10:26 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:10:26 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar To: cpghost In-Reply-To: <20090123014001.GA2536@phenom.cordula.ws> Message-ID: <20090123171009.N38136@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> References: <20090123011043.GA86638@thought.org> <20090123014001.GA2536@phenom.cordula.ws> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Cc: Gary Kline , FreeBSD Mailing List Subject: Re: how to create a DVD backup filesystem?

Some time ago I attempted something like a port, however my knowlege at that time was not sufficient to get it running. Currently I'm running an OS X system as my default platform (since FreeBSD still lacked/lacks decent sleep/hybernation support; and for that seriously applies I do not have the knowlege to fix it) so maintaining a port is going to be difficult. However maybe I'll try again just to prove myself I can create a port. So in short: When I was saying "it's a shame.." I was also refering to myself indeed ...

Yes, I think it does. Its manpage mentiones /dev/dvd explicitely, so if you're using atapican anyways, it's quite handy to have the symlink above - for copy + paste from the manpage. :-) Tools like cdrdao and cdrecord use atapicam, too. > If you use tar to write to CD/DVD, you can't mount that directly > (unless it's supported as a special fusefs filesystem).

I would recommend that way, too. Having read support for as many platforms as possible is always a good idea.

It is used to cause the shell to reread the PATH environment variable and rebuild its internal hash (hence rehash) list of items in the path. The hash is used by the shell as a mapping between program names and their canonical location on the file system. It's what lets you say `ls' instead of having to say `/bin/ls', etc. If you install a new port then such shells will not immediately pick up the new executable - which is when you need to `rehash'. bash handles these cases differently, obviating the need for the rehash command.

Remember the recent bumps to libintl which affected an insane number (i.e. nearly all) of ports? Update just this port after upgrading, and nearly all your existing ports are unusable and need to be recompiled against libintl.so.8. Since misc/compat6x doesn't contain libintl.so.[765] (it's not a system library), you'd still be out of luck. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 18:14:00 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 77D081065675 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 18:14:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from perryh@pluto.rain.com) Received: from agora.rdrop.com (agora.rdrop.com [199.26.172.34]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B2E98FC13 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 18:14:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from perryh@pluto.rain.com) Received: from agora.rdrop.com (66@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by agora.rdrop.com (8.13.1/8.12.7) with ESMTP id n0NIDxLs021349 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NOT); Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:13:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from perryh@pluto.rain.com) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by agora.rdrop.com (8.13.1/8.12.9/Submit) with UUCP id n0NIDx59021348; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:13:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from fbsd61 by pluto.rain.com (4.1/SMI-4.1-pluto-M2060407) id AA09073; Fri, 23 Jan 09 10:12:24 PST Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:14:08 -0800 From: perryh@pluto.rain.com To: tajudd@gmail.com Message-Id: <497a08f0.M7aLYVzoum+g95mw%perryh@pluto.rain.com> References: <20090123011043.GA86638@thought.org> <497954FE.8050206@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <497954FE.8050206@gmail.com> User-Agent: nail 11.25 7/29/05 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: how to create a DVD backup filesystem?

There are programs, like inkscape (which was mentioned), they're really far better at either doing drawing, or modifying already finished drawaings. These kinda programs (including the biggest of them all, gimp), while being incredibly good at drawing, they fall very far short of being "technical" drawing programs, which basically want to help you lay out spcific items constructed mostly from lines, circles, etc, packing them up into subitems which can then themselves be manipulated (like, drawing a schematic of a transistor, saving it, and then dotting that transistor all over). A technia drawing program is what you want for that, and a art drawing program is what you want if you are trying to get straight artistic effects (like maybe a web page background. There's a 3rd level, the Cad programs, they're usually based upon the technical drawing programs, either directly, or merely extending the command set) but they usually add in substantial support for active dimensioning. If you're going to do something really substantial, like drawing an architectural drawing, you definitely want a CAD program, like maybe Autocad. Drawback with those is that they're definitely pricey, and definitely have a far harder learning curve. If you wanted to limit yourself to technical drawing, your best bet is likely the xfig program. It's been around more than 20 years now, 20 years where there has been steady improvements. The interface is so well conceived, you don't really even need to read teh manual to use it at the 80% level, and a little thought can give you all the rest of it's capabilities. This won't do you any good if you're trying to do something like take the fog out of a picture, or maybe remove red-eye, but if your goal is to produce a technical drawing at 0 cost, and with the least investment of your time, with results which can still look very nice, then go look at xfig. There's a second one ... I never really liked it all that well, but tgif seems to be more integrated into using a browser as an active tool, and it's also had all those years of active development. Like I say, it's not by favorite, but if you wanted to be able to look at 2 of the best technical drawing programs and then make your choice in a more reasoned manner, then compare xfig with tgif. They're both FreeBSD ports, both VERY well done, if you want technical drawing without reliance on advanced pro-level features and dimensioning, this is the way to go. I never had a chance to look qcad over. Maybe someone else who has that experience with it could give a better critique of it, without sounding like a salesman or a booster. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkl6ClkACgkQz62J6PPcoOnFFQCZATA1VbpzcG83sN/+OuOmj2x2 H9AAn2tXB/eym3qf+bzpMUzXrXgaNwxG =VGcz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 18:58:12 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8E7A91065674 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 18:58:12 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from nlandys@gmail.com) Received: from fk-out-0910.google.com (fk-out-0910.google.com [209.85.128.186]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 19B548FC14 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 18:58:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from nlandys@gmail.com) Received: by fk-out-0910.google.com with SMTP id f40so1481585fka.11 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:58:11 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:in-reply-to:references :date:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type :content-transfer-encoding; bh=HGS7OwGc2HEyjuYswGozOZKn3yKfM4EB0dKA5cEWgDg=; b=isOYJr/b/QFB82MpyvqvymkhF2ug6xZhLXMdrRIqEbZ//pvn0YAsqm8SjdhCWjLf33 tSZfm155Z/hoWxqsW6xKVFM2EceMJJiLMHgRyCev8b9Mg+y3NI+oxlWp5W/LnNbsDfzz g+yGhVh8A++4NuW0TJBd8kCYDAsByzTPlBe3A= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; b=VUyEz+SHmPnK3NBrFaskYjQ9dZA2VjQ99n6LNvd461jhGjRag3nZLMtza/rFO5eCsq N/RAvQJ7HaDP9XtkVLkv+xUtVE4UdeHCeSgkRp5bPmD1nLzvKE10QlP5/eYE2+/KuYI0 7WHjZHc72Ytwdf1SYDl40Z7oovbjNSiDv7Law= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.181.48.4 with SMTP id a4mr544467bkk.6.1232737091066; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:58:11 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: <26ddd1750901221635k17230c7eudb1edc38c808eb83@mail.gmail.com> References: <560f92640901221241y4fc1620aree083a812c1f3c8d@mail.gmail.com> <26ddd1750901221333x5356f4f3l6b6410fc05d4e6d4@mail.gmail.com> <560f92640901221451j2e2b259bw1559a8c8d8912941@mail.gmail.com> <560f92640901221458y9409360n34904461fb2580e4@mail.gmail.com> <26ddd1750901221635k17230c7eudb1edc38c808eb83@mail.gmail.com> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:58:11 -0800 Message-ID: <560f92640901231058i3c9e8645n6a30c74ec868ba87@mail.gmail.com> From: Nerius Landys To: Maxim Khitrov Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: shell scripting, how to auto-timeout?

Each device produces a log of the polling session and those logs get huge very quickly. There are 498 such files and putting a separate line in /etc/newsyslog.conf for each file is an absurd idea as we are always adding and removing devices from our network. The other alternative is a shell script to run that would compress each file after renaming it, etc. That is not a problem, but newsyslog already does that at least on single files. I did try path/*.collect.log and nothing happened. Thanks for any ideas.

I use the vi-plugin with eclipse (it's shareware, you need to pay them about $18) and I swear, even the the vi-compatibility isn't perfect, it's certainly serviceable. More than that the guy who runs the vi plugin actively tried to fix bugs. With something like that available, I wouldn't personally even consider any of the other java attempts. I've got the source tars needed to build jdk1.6.0. I'm utterly incapable of figuring out the lawyerese about the legality of my giving anyone the sources. If anyone who I know & trust on this list tells me it's ok, I would do whatever was legal to help out, because the combination of the jdk1.6.0, eclipse-devel, and the viplugin, it's a java environment to die for. I've lately been playing a bit with torrent, might be willing to give that a try too. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkl6BeMACgkQz62J6PPcoOlDkACePpO7njbpUpGYt2PXo8vZ/AQZ S9wAnj1rFJGtVFa580Wgu/dF46iXZpGg =o2hd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 19:29:11 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D646D106564A for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:29:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk) Received: from smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk (gate6.infracaninophile.co.uk [IPv6:2001:8b0:151:1::1]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 46D138FC0A for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:29:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk) Received: from happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk (localhost [IPv6:::1]) (authenticated bits=0) by smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n0NJSnO0002357; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:28:56 GMT (envelope-from m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk) X-DKIM: Sendmail DKIM Filter v2.8.1 smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk n0NJSnO0002357 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=simple/simple; d=infracaninophile.co.uk; s=200708; t=1232738937; bh=SP5NpPTIHZmY08DMcVmISqln48FdlXzSXy78XW/AUk8=; h=Message-ID:Date:From:MIME-Version:To:CC:Subject:References: In-Reply-To:Content-Type:Cc:Content-Type:Date:From:In-Reply-To: Message-ID:Mime-Version:References:To; z=Message-ID:=20<497A1A67.4060109@infracaninophile.co.uk>|Date:=20F ri,=2023=20Jan=202009=2019:28:39=20+0000|From:=20Matthew=20Seaman= 20|Organization:=20Infracaninophi le|User-Agent:=20Thunderbird=202.0.0.19=20(X11/20090111)|MIME-Vers ion:=201.0|To:=20Martin=20McCormick=20| CC:=20freebsd-questions@freebsd.org|Subject:=20Re:=20newsyslog.con f=20and=20large=20numbers=20of=20Log=20Files|References:=20<200901 231849.n0NIn3W5097306@dc.cis.okstate.edu>|In-Reply-To:=20<20090123 1849.n0NIn3W5097306@dc.cis.okstate.edu>|X-Enigmail-Version:=200.95 .6|Content-Type:=20multipart/signed=3B=20micalg=3Dpgp-sha256=3B=0D =0A=20protocol=3D"application/pgp-signature"=3B=0D=0A=20boundary=3 D"------------enigE6CD9C1C33CFD8847B36AC87"; b=ZZ01rNaIeAzW2uHcsKXVDiilKVN7ht5lMqm+X7HnX/UG3y9pUwpCFvi2JS+4ltHcL 3K97KRg5O6R0YkCC5bgeNjPljeUGgKC0JulIMMeicguRq9WB3JnnEBK3iloZoNEs7Z tY5WGOOqbjoXUcv8sQ/kzh9bsfaze1kNIo5KPsvI= Message-ID: <497A1A67.4060109@infracaninophile.co.uk> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:28:39 +0000 From: Matthew Seaman Organization: Infracaninophile User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20090111) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Martin McCormick References: <200901231849.n0NIn3W5097306@dc.cis.okstate.edu> In-Reply-To: <200901231849.n0NIn3W5097306@dc.cis.okstate.edu> X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.6 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha256; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="------------enigE6CD9C1C33CFD8847B36AC87" X-Greylist: Sender succeeded SMTP AUTH, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.0.1 (smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk [IPv6:::1]); Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:28:57 +0000 (GMT) X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV version 0.94.2, clamav-milter version 0.94.2 on happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,DKIM_SIGNED, DKIM_VERIFIED,NO_RELAYS autolearn=ham version=3.2.5 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.5 (2008-06-10) on happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: newsyslog.conf and large numbers of Log Files X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:29:12 -0000 This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigE6CD9C1C33CFD8847B36AC87 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Martin McCormick wrote: > Can newsyslog be made to handle large numbers of log > files such as all the *.collect.log files produced in our mrtg > directory? newsyslog.conf(5): G indicates that the specified logfile_name is a shell= pat- tern, and that newsyslog(8) should archive all filen= ames matching that pattern using the other options on thi= s line.

Qcad is definitely more complicated to use, it is handled similarly to autocad, but, like autocad, it allows to do precise 2D drawings. Basically qcad is a simplified 2D autocad. I don't think, at least i am not able to do similar precise things with xfig, which, on the other hand is convenient to insert schematic drawings into Latex stuff. Since both are available for free, the OP can try both and see what he prefers for his job. -- Michel TALON From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 23 20:30:28 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 47FCC1065670 for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:30:28 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cwhiteh@onetel.com) Received: from smtp1.betherenow.co.uk (smtp1.betherenow.co.uk [87.194.0.68]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id D40268FC1F for ; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:30:27 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from cwhiteh@onetel.com) Received: from [192.168.1.72] (93-97-24-219.zone5.bethere.co.uk [93.97.24.219]) by smtp1.betherenow.co.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2C2AD98260; Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:30:26 +0000 (GMT) Message-ID: <497A28E1.6070002@onetel.com> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:30:25 +0000 From: Chris Whitehouse User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20090113) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Mbung Linux References: <20090123111243.5633FCBBD1@ws5-11.us4.outblaze.com> In-Reply-To: <20090123111243.5633FCBBD1@ws5-11.us4.outblaze.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: LTSP in freeBSD X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:30:29 -0000 Mbung Linux wrote: > hello, > > Right now ,i'm success to installing freeBSD in my computer,can you help me... > please send me how to building FreeBSD with LTSP,i want to make a small > networking,before i'm using fedora core 4.0 with LTSP 4.1.

Try: cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/evilwm && make install clean Can't beat a window manager with a binary size of 29k and a resident memory footprint under 2MB. No window decorations, leaving lots of room for xterms. Launch everything via script or shell alias. Very keyboard driven. If only I could find a terminal program that was smaller than "rxvt" I'd be happy. I feel your pain on the bloated software phenomenom. That's the pain of progress, I suppose.

It is most likely an encoding problem, but I can't figure out where it lies exactly. It basically boils down to this: When I access the FTP from my Windows machine, the foreign characters come as a load of random characters. However, when I access it from a Linux machine, everything is fine, and the filemanes are also fine when I use ls at the shell. As I said, it is most likely a problem in how FreeBSD encodes the filenames, but I read throught the mount(8) man page and found no option that would allow changing it. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Here's output of one of the programs that doesn't run: ldd /usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup ldd: /usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup: not a dynamic executable BUT, it is executable and using the exact path to the program still gives this error: /usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup: not found Yes, I did re-install the port too. No dice. Again MOST all programs run except for this one and maybe a couple others that may be causing buildworld to fail. Strange! Jack (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

Once fixed, it "appeared" to upgrade fine (build/install/mergemaster), including a new kernel build/install, but on reboot it still shows 6.3...!!! I have rmoved /usr/obj and even /usr/src and tried over several times, but same result. Some parts of the system is running okay, but not others. Have wasted too much time on this machine and today will move to a new machine and start over. This server is one of our DNS servers, so we're covered with others that take over during shutdown of this problem server. The DNS (or named) is one of the parts not running correctly and the most vital. Just a very strange issue and wondered if anyone else had similar results ever -- it may just be the machine, but didn't act like it. Thanks again, Jack (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

The e-mail transport has mangeled a bit with your shell script but I have seen two identicals ones in the port: work/DEV300_m38/desktop/scripts/soffice.sh work/DEV300_m38/desktop/unxfbsdi.pro/misc/soffice.sh and I will test it.

If you want to know what gcc processor optimizations will be enabled you can do this: Create hello.c: #include main() { printf("hello, world\n"); } Then compile it with -Q -v in addition to the default CFLAGS: gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Q -v -o hello hello.c The section "options enabled" will list them all. I usually only add "-march=native" to my CFLAGS to enable a few more CPU specific optimizations. /Morgan From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Jan 24 16:36:39 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 20BF91065673 for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:36:39 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from onemda@gmail.com) Received: from mail-ew0-f21.google.com (mail-ew0-f21.google.com [209.85.219.21]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7AC578FC1C for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:36:38 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from onemda@gmail.com) Received: by ewy14 with SMTP id 14so62812ewy.19 for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 08:36:37 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:in-reply-to:references :date:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type :content-transfer-encoding; bh=eUvuqe4w7ekC8vTuajIOdXTlLIE4NrC1ypkXqlqLwds=; b=jZztCb1/TLjElYfgx9+m6U8PmGF3bEGt0o+fRXOY4Px9+Bljr184B3mYlz4Azs5Y0B NQaaq9ZsR0ek2MHuydaKxncsMIFoQgqbW4EanNMjHFxGnBvhgmw2xH2I5JoS3mpUC4zV 5JAqkhodhBhQ1E7qG+0ccAtACmKLe3Vgu6kNE= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; b=cIfYrBM8GBuSds98aPfNQhgpSxR+t59jumkmpJdglivWYuB0jvTcmyCHxn+QnpJubS 6TWTsWJgY/jIEbqGPKuj4Wc0GpcbWOEmr7WFPogtPzJGVIpQXBSWhI8eq2BdF5Ayz/Be qUiiq6Ah8RldbT8+pSM5fne2S6CFk+338+yng= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.210.54.17 with SMTP id c17mr2872919eba.35.1232814997436; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 08:36:37 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: References: <9a52b1190901231938x390f04b4je541d2fa16f9f60a@mail.gmail.com> <3a142e750901240445u36de7beeg737901c82c27f62f@mail.gmail.com> Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 17:36:37 +0100 Message-ID: <3a142e750901240836s4461ee1dt9cdb806dcf34492a@mail.gmail.com> From: "Paul B.

Is your ports tree up-to-date? Although I don't think the urls have changed. What errors are you getting? 404s? What urls are you using? IIRC you have to register an account with Sun before you can download the jdk from their site. You have to place the downloaded files in /usr/ports/distfiles/ before you can build the port without make(1) dropping out after printing the message with the urls. The port built fine for me.

What I'd like to do is export the ports hierarchy to all machines, but preserving ports/packages for each version/architecture. I also want to make rebuilding indexes run as fast as possible. Right now, I simply exports(5) /usr/ports via NFSv3. The problem comes in with INDEX files and packages. Indexes get updated only when the host serving the export updates the hierarchy via portsnap update. If I create a package on SPARC64 and the package exists already for an i386 build, then I've got an issue. Can someone point me to a doc/google/man page that may give me some guidance in setting up such an environment? -- Regards, Doug From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Jan 24 19:07:57 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BF1D31065673 for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:07:57 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from saifikhan@gmail.com) Received: from rv-out-0506.google.com (rv-out-0506.google.com [209.85.198.226]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8F6D78FC22 for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:07:57 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from saifikhan@gmail.com) Received: by rv-out-0506.google.com with SMTP id b25so5357339rvf.43 for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 11:07:57 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:in-reply-to:references :date:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type :content-transfer-encoding; bh=5+8yMW3BjsV0jqwAJulemNFp8BV58i130/aqZrJ8x3k=; b=c+fiVHrYKh7k1JAEPy1dQHOarmvahBk1Y4mA+y74sZOSup+NQBjN6a709iUhDWPSuY BrHYjs0pPjVjIINOu036JDkMt+OBo7v+IgK8nEJ9YaBw0GFf3P2lvcCgQb5dgv2Knqyb rTdaNxrWVVp95gnjRoUNciMfxmiX0dOm0UHhI= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; b=KNIX97DOtV1m3rk/QFpBljDQOWPsu8iFnmqa9haam09UVOiyiWuPn9ICV8CqfGcU3U LCis7Jm0/uQ0F8R1Cwc1JmUQzJKRqgeT7jDc88SMQGd//O9Cpq97xE00a/VlZHa5xHW5 bTS7poEhvcH03OmTOvqemDbg2Kj2qvpdQi7rY= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.141.193.1 with SMTP id v1mr1247330rvp.186.1232824077173; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 11:07:57 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: <497B5686.8050600@pp.dyndns.biz> References: <20090124124535.3006687c@gumby.homeunix.com> <9a52b1190901240451i14dc544fm1c241d6f43fa897b@mail.gmail.com> <20090124131629.1f9fabe4@gumby.homeunix.com> <497B2536.7030907@pp.dyndns.biz> <20090124174357.4aafcf1a@gumby.homeunix.com> <497B5686.8050600@pp.dyndns.biz> Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:07:57 +0000 Message-ID: <9a52b1190901241107h5bff8c1al6c980b7ad8e99051@mail.gmail.com> From: Saifi Khan To: Pojken Purken Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: default CFLAGS X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:07:58 -0000 On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 5:57 PM, Pojken Purken wrote: > RW wrote: >> On Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:27:02 +0100 >> Morgan Wesstr=F6m wrote: >> >> >>> The section "options enabled" will list them all.

How it does it in detail can be seen in its source code but basically it's decided by checking manufacturer, cpu family and whether sse2 and sse3 support is present. Your processor is most likely a prescott and you can see what gcc selects by running the compilation example from my previous post. The choice shows up in its output. /Morgan From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Jan 24 20:33:24 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A8ADB1065784 for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 20:33:24 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl [IPv6:2001:4070:101:2::1]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DF76B8FC20 for ; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 20:33:23 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n0OKX3k0042128; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 21:33:03 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Received: from localhost (wojtek@localhost) by wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) with ESMTP id n0OKX2vE042125; Sat, 24 Jan 2009 21:33:03 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl) Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 21:33:02 +0100 (CET) From: Wojciech Puchar To: "Jack L.

Are you using swap on a slice 10? how is that possible when the i386/amd64 BIOS can't see more than 4 primary partitions? Kris, would you mind giving input to this? How can there be a s10, and how can you add swapspace to a device that isn't a partition 'b' nor a file backed swapspace? Those were the only two ways I thought was supported for swap.

As with all tuning you always take the risk of breaking something but that is a personal choice. From my own experience I prefer that the compiler choses the optimizations. I don't know about the base OS but a quick grep through /usr/ports only reveals 5 or 6 ports that actually checks CPUTYPE and they don't do much more than setting -march={$CPUTYPE} which is pretty redundant.
