I tried to reproduce this in my FreeBSD server. I know this can be done also as the man page says: Init can also be used to keep arbitrary daemons running, automatically restarting them if they die. In this case, the first field in the ttys(5) file must not reference the path to a configured device node and will be passed to the daemon as the final argument on its command line. This is similar to the facility offered in the AT&T System V UNIX /etc/inittab. but no matter how i tweak the ttys file i cannot make it to work. Does any FreeeBSD guru can help me make the step from linux complete as i cannot find help about this anywhere (the freeBSD admin book do not speak of it and google is silent about freeBSD specific ttys "inittab like" settings). A simple exemple will do the trick, basicaly i need this to keep spamd, clamd running (with better and safer way than using a while 1 loop on the shell). Best regards, Ghislain.

The errors: mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry I was able to mount this disk when it was under ntfs filesystem, but I need to write it under freebsd, so I used partition magic to convert from a file system to another.

I have been reading the text "Setting Up the Sound Card" at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html in order to find and install the right driver for the sound card in my i386. The hardware is an ESS 1869 PCI. Before I had WinXP installed on this hardware and it reported that the location of the card is: PCI slot 3 (PCI bus 0, device 14, function 0) I did whatever is described in the section 7.2.1 of the manual: 1- I checked the entries in "/boot/defaults/loader.conf". The right line was snd_sbc_load="NO" I imagine this means that the driver is already somewhere on the harddisk! 2- Then I inserted the following line into /boot/loader.conf snd_sbc_load="YES" 3- I booted the system. Right after calling "startx" and entering KDE I got (as usual) the error message that the sound server could not find the file /dev/dsp. As I read in the manual configuring a custom kernel with sound support is just a second method and can be used alternatively. So I am not sure if I really have to do something in the kernel or not, since the first efforts did not help! Could someone please tell me what I still have to do? I would of course be very thankful for more precise advices.

For further diagnosis, what is the output of "uname -a" ?? The instructions have changed recently, because the code changed fairly recently, and the age of your installation might help determine the solution to your problem. I'm fairly sure I've used this card before....

Consider this quote from a mail message in April, where Matthew Seaman (a quite knowledgeable fellow) states: ************************************************************************** Actually, root's shell has been set to csh(1) for as long as there has been a FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/master.passwd?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup I think I've seen one of the elder gods mention that root's shell was csh all the way back to 4.2-BSD. Cheers, Matthew *************************************************************************** Now, as for the reasons behind the history, I can only guess, as I'm a relative newbie. IMVHO, /bin/sh is just darned inconvenient for sys-admin stuff, which is why somebody invented bash. But, FreeBSD had already chosen csh, and bash is GNU/GPL*, and why discuss another bikeshed? If scripts are written correctly, they don't care what your shell is anyway ... As for script-writing, I take it that most people learn sh simply for shell-scripting and quite apart from their daily CLI usage... and perhaps a few people script things in PERL, ruby, even PHP instead of sh on occasion as well; it might be considered a separate activity.

This might address the "too large" issue, but I don't know, being just a newbie myself. So, it'd be either update to the latest release candidate for 5.3, or attempt to grab just the msdosfs stuff from the CVS repo and build that part of the tree against your current installation. ***I have no idea whether this would work or not, and strongly advise you not to do it unless you can get confirmation from an expert, perferably a FreeBSD committer, or you like to fix broken installations ....*** KDK From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Oct 27 15:49:20 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CCFC316A4CE for ; Wed, 27 Oct 2004 15:49:20 +0000 (GMT) Received: from web80808.mail.yahoo.com (web80808.mail.yahoo.com [66.163.170.103]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id A745743D58 for ; Wed, 27 Oct 2004 15:49:20 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from cmc4slack-freebsd@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <20041027154920.88439.qmail@web80808.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [192.35.232.241] by web80808.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Wed, 27 Oct 2004 08:49:20 PDT Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 08:49:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Chris Conn To: FreeBSD Newbies MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: educated guess on 5.3 release date?

USB modems can be more of a chance, depending on whether the appropriate driver is available. Things you may want to look at are "gateway", "ipfw" and "jail" if some services need to be protected (http server, mail, etc.) If you want state-of-the-art security, 2 network cards would be ideal but for a home network, you can easily get away with 1.

I have been using sangoma's internal adsl card for about 2 years now and it is flawless. You get tons more debugging information that you will get with any dsl modem on the market (stuff you can go to the isp and say...why is your router sending me these bogus packets). The other bonus of this is you have your Public ip right on your router/firewall...this way you don't have to mess with setitng up portforwarding/natting etc on whatever crappy OS they have in their POS dsl modem...you can use all of OBSD's funtionality for that. > > Things you may want to look at are "gateway", "ipfw" and "jail" if some > services need to be protected (http server, mail, etc.) > > If you want state-of-the-art security, 2 network cards would be ideal > but for a home network, you can easily get away with 1. > > Cheers > Olivier > Aaron From owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 29 19:10:26 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 64AEE16A4D6 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 2004 19:10:26 +0000 (GMT) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [216.136.204.21]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 127DE43D41 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 2004 19:10:26 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from sue@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (sue@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i9TJAPWH091318 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 2004 19:10:25 GMT (envelope-from sue@freefall.freebsd.org) Received: (from sue@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id i9TJAPLw091315 for freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org; Fri, 29 Oct 2004 19:10:25 GMT (envelope-from sue) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2004 19:10:25 GMT From: Sue Blake Message-Id: <200410291910.i9TJAPLw091315@freefall.freebsd.org> To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD Newbies FAK X-BeenThere: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Gathering place for new users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2004 19:10:26 -0000 FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list. It is also available at http://people.freebsd.org/~sue/newbies/fak.html FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. We can help people to use the FreeBSD mailing lists and resources, or to interact more productively with the broader FreeBSD community. These are not support questions, and not technical, so we deal with them here. Everyone can help with these new user orientation requests. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ Mailing list membership To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Use the easy form at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies to subscribe to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list, or to change your subscription details if you are already a member.

I'm running 4.9 on the server, and I did a standard install. Last night I slogined in to the BSD box from my mac, switched user to root, and rebooted the machine because one of the hard drives seemed to be working a little hard for no apparent reason. After reboot, I could no longer do an nfs mount from the mac of he disk. I could slogin to the machine, see the drive was mounted. The exports and fstab file haven't changed at all. Previous tot this, he server has been up and running for about a month. A point in (almost) any direction is appreciated.

I've also tried running portmap with no option as I get the error message "NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered" on the mac. I did a search on this and found an entry at the BSD diary. Unfortunately I've got to hit the road for the moment,, so I'll get back to it this evening, hanks for help!

I can't ssh to a server behind my local network, without setting a proxy like HTTP_PROXY, but i don't know how to do that in the command line. I tried "setenv SSH_PROXY proxyaddres:port" Someone knows how to? Wouter van Rooij
