Hi, It doesn't seem that this bug is in any way related to FreeBSD. Samba is a thirth party software. You need to report this bug to the samba development team instead. www.samba.org i think. Secondly, if this bug was related to FreeBSD then you would still be in the wrong place. Bugs can be either submitted by the sendbug tool on you FreeBSD box or via the website www.freebsd.org. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/FreeBSD/ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Oct 3 00:33:53 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 065F416A4CE for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 00:33:53 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp17.wxs.nl (smtp17.wxs.nl [195.121.6.13]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C046C43D31 for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 00:33:52 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from freebsd@akruijff.dds.nl) Received: from kruij557.speed.planet.nl (ipd50a97ba.speed.planet.nl [213.10.151.186]) by smtp17.wxs.nl (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built Mar 3 2004)) with ESMTP id <0I4Z0096KG8FON@smtp17.wxs.nl> for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 03 Oct 2004 02:33:51 +0200 (CEST) Received: from alex.lan (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by kruij557.speed.planet.nl (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i930XpsS019268; Sun, 03 Oct 2004 02:33:51 +0200 Received: (from akruijff@localhost) by alex.lan (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id i930Xooh019267; Sun, 03 Oct 2004 02:33:50 +0200 Content-return: prohibited Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 02:33:50 +0200 From: Alex de Kruijff In-reply-to: <2ede6f320410020539602eb974@mail.gmail.com> To: Rae Message-id: <20041003003350.GB1111@alex.lan> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i References: <2ede6f320410020539602eb974@mail.gmail.com> X-Authentication-warning: alex.lan: akruijff set sender to freebsd@akruijff.dds.nl using -f cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: "shutdown -p now" reboots my computer X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 00:33:53 -0000 On Sat, Oct 02, 2004 at 08:39:12AM -0400, Rae wrote: > I'm using 5.2.1-Release > "shutdown -p now" command worked well couple of days ago.

This may seem disjointed, so bear with me. I've been using FreeBSD for over six months now, but I've been using Unix-like operating systems for almost two years. I started with Red Hat Linux back when Red Hat was making and selling their "consumer-grade" version of Red Hat Linux, then switched to Debian before going to FreeBSD last March. I now also run NetBSD on one of my machines. Through all this, I've developed a passion for this type of OS, seeing the elegance, performance, and sheer power of Unix. This has affected me to the point of me changing my career path. Before I got into these OSs, I wanted to get into radio. Now I'd rather either be a system administrator or run my own consulting business for entities that use these types of OSs. But herein lies the problem I've been having lately: while searching around for what I'd need to know to become a system administrator, I came across this page: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2001/8/13/131727/462 and I'm overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge I'd have to gain. It took me almost two years to get to where I am today, and it looks like I've barely scratched the surface of what I'd need to know. But now, I feel like instead of learning things on my own for fun, I have to learn other things I don't really have a need to learn for myself or that I want to, just so that I can apply that to oth er peoples' situations. The result is that lately learning these OSs has become more of a chore than a fun hobby, and I'm still intimidated by what I need to learn to get to where I want to go. It almost seems like it's not worth it. Now, being that I know there are some very experienced people on this list, I'm betting that I'm not the only one that has experienced this, that learning new things in Unix-like OSs becomes more of a chore than something to do for fun. My question is, what advice would you have for dealing with this?

It's very interesting that xorg and xfree would have dropped support for your video card. Perhaps they just changed support? Besides the point, though. pkgdb is the tool for /manually/ editing the package database that resides in /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db If you look at update and force, you should be able to figure out the exact command. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.

I know I did when I just built a firewall. My reason was multiprocessor support. While FreeBSD on SMP is gorgeous and intricate, under oBSD, it is non-existant until next version. Further, I am more used to FreeBSD and adminning OS's that you are less used to is generally a bad idea when setting up machines. The hardware support for FreeBSD is also decidedly more vast than that of oBSD and the performance of fBSD generally faster. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.

I would say though that by the time you learned all these 'prerequisites' you would have no need for the course of study. Now, keep in mind this - this ISN'T a list of things that you need to MEMORIZE. Knowing how to do things is different than memorizing a sequence of key clicks or mouse clicks to make something happen. Many people are out there that could memorize exactly how to do everything on this list - but because they don't really know how to do them, if I came along and made one little change in a script or a program, they would be screwed. By contrast someone who knows how to do all these things can walk in and sit down at a version of UNIX that they have never touched, never heard of, never seen, and within 3-4 hours not only be able to do all these things, they could write instructions for the people that need to memorize how to do them. As an analogy - there's lots of people that know how to pull into a service station and add air to their car tires. But out of all those people that have learned how to do this only a tenth of them know that tire pressure rises when the tire gets warmer, and of those people, only another tenth WOULD ASSUME THAT THIS WOULD BE THE CASE IF THEY THOUGHT ABOUT IT because they actually understand what gas pressure is. And if one of the people in that group had never added air in his life to a tire, and you told him to go do it, he would not only be able to go do it, he would be able to add exactly the correct amount of air needed for the tire. > and I'm > overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge I'd have to gain. > It took me almost two years to get to where I am today, and it > looks like I've barely scratched the surface of what I'd need to > know. I've been working with FreeBSD since version 1 and 386BSD before that. Over 10 years now. I even wrote a book on FreeBSD that was published in 2000 titled The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide. (it's out of print now but you can still buy it off Amazon) I'm still scratching the surface. You need to understand 2 things. First, the UNIX field is so vast that no one person can learn everything there is to know about it, EVER. Second, the amount of NEW information in the UNIX field that is being created every year cannot possibly be absorbed by one person in a year, even if all they did was learn new things. This is how all of the really serious jobs/fields operate, it's no different with a doctor, auto mechanic, lawyer, etc. This is why if your good in these fields you get paid the big bucks. > But now, I feel like instead of learning things on my own > for fun, I have to learn other things I don't really have a need > to learn for myself or that I want to, just so that I can apply > that to oth > er peoples' situations. Well, yes. That's why they call it "work" Nobody is going to pay you money to work on your own stuff. They only pay you to work on THEIR stuff. If 50% of the time their stuff is in the same universe as your stuff, your doing a damn sight better than most people. > The result is that lately learning > these OSs has become more of a chore than a fun hobby, and I'm > still intimidated by what I need to learn to get to where I want > to go. Your never going to get where you want to go - not if your any good at it, that is. Take it from me. I've done everything that you say you want to do. By the time that you get to where I am, your not going to be satisfied being a mere systems administrator or consultant, not if your worth spit. I certainly wasn't. In other words, life is a series of goals - and when you get close to one of them, the next one after that becomes more important than the one your right next to. At least, that is how it works for anyone with any real ambition. > It almost seems like it's not worth it. Well, let me tell you this. When I'm 85 years old - and I'm still intending to be working with UNIX then assuming it's still around - and looking back over my life I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I have learned and forgotten more things in any given year of my life than most people have learned in their entire lives. Your only given 1 life, 1 mind, 1 brain. It's yours to choose what to do with. If you want to piss it all away spending your evenings watching reruns of "The Simpsons" that's no skin off anyone's nose. But, when the day comes that you say goodbye to this old world, I think you will probably think you were a fool. > Now, being that I know there are some very experienced people on > this list, I'm betting that I'm not the only one that has > experienced this, that learning new things in Unix-like OSs > becomes more of a chore than something to do for fun. My > question is, what advice would you have for dealing with this? You have to make a choice. Your not going to be able to make it immediately, of course, you will end up having to feel your way forward. And you probably won't realize exactly the day you make this choice. There's a lot of people in the world that are contented to learn only a certain number of things, and once they have learned them all, they feel they have "arrived" and they don't want to learn anything more. Instead they just want to use what they have learned to do the same job, over and over for the rest of their lives. Of course, periodically the world changes and disrupts these people's lives and they have to learn something new. Usually, they successfully do it and get back to their happy little ruts. Occassionally they don't then spend the rest of their lives moaning over the "good old days" but never amount to a hill of beans afterwords. But, the world ain't run by those people. The people that really make the world go around are the people who get wiser and wiser and wiser and learn more and more and more until comparing them to an ordinary person of the first kind, is like comparing an ordinary person to an infant. And even among the wise, there are the wisest of the wise who are so far in advance of the wise that comparing them to the wise is like comparing one of the wise to an ordinary person. And even among the wisest of the wise there are the ultra wise that... well I think you get the picture. Every person who grows up eventually comes to a point in their lives, often somewhere in their mid to late 20's, where they figure this out and are faced with the fact that they need to choose which world to live in. It's just your turn to make this choice now. I cannot help you to make this choise or advise you how to do it. Maybe you want to go on a quest, maybe you want to write a book, whatever. But I can tell you that if you choose to be numbered among the wise, that some of the work may still be a chore, but when you do it, your going to feel satisfied, which I think is probably in the long run better than feeling "happy". And after a while your going to find that your wanting to feel satisfied more than your wanting to feel happy. However, if you choose to be numbered among the ordinary, the one thing I can tell you is you should give up FreeBSD. The reason is that you have now reached the point where you can no longer be an "ordinary" FreeBSD user because the door has opened a crack and you have been able to look through this crack and seen what it's Really Like behind the curtain. This is something that many ordinary FreeBSD users never do, and because they really don't really understand what the real UNIX universe really looks like, they can pretend that they are doing something Really Useful with FreeBSD. Poor, lucky people that they are, they can still be "happy" with FreeBSD. You, gave that up when you looked through the crack in the door.

I would say when you reach that point is when you have to decide is this something I want to do for the next n years. The first part of my life I was a musician and did all sorts of gigs from recording, touring, casuals. After many years I hit the same point you are at now. Music just became a job it wasn't fun anymore and that is when I got into computers. I hit the same point with computers after about four or five years and went back to music. After I year I was missing computer work and returned to IT work. I have been there ever since. That is about ten years now. I would say your doing the right thing, talking through it. If you like computers a lot maybe you just need to find a specialty to peak your interest and make it exciting again. If you are not sure you want to continue, well try something else out in the background and see if it excites you. Take some night classes in what you would like to do instead of being an SA. See if after a few months of classes and learning a new career if it still excites you. If it doesn't you haven't lost your job in the computer industry. Last some people a job is just a job, a way to pay the bills and make money so they can enjoy life when not at work. They become very good at what they do, and they keep there skills up to keep being a valuable employee. They do work they enjoy, but they don't look for work to excite them. They leave work and enjoy their family, friends, and hobbies. Maybe you fall into that category. Being an SA is just an job you enjoy and you need to find new things to do when off work that interest you.

That is, the stuff on someone's desk is their property and if you have to touch it, you don't damage it. Every once in a while we run across someone who don't understand this, they get away with this for a while but sooner or later we reach out and fire them.

It is unreasonable to expect people to have to act like they are in kindergarden when they are in the middle of a network room that has a sum total of 20 people who can access it, all of whom are paid more than 50K a year. Naturally, if your working with a system in an insecure area, you follow secure procedures. For example if your at a customer site you assume that their machine is infected with a key logger, and don't touch anything at the mothership that isn't password-aged regularly. Same goes if your traveling and using something like an Internet kiosk. But people should not have to be looking over their shoulders where they live, eat, sleep. This is a college, not a kindergarden. Your logic is of the variety of "well, the security scanners at the airports didn't do what they were supposed to be doing, so we deserved to have the WTC collapsed". In other words, it only appears on the surface to be reasonable, and that is because the problems don't involve people dying. But it is fatally flawed.

However, just because he is having money troubles does not change one iota what the only solution really is. Sure, he's going to try to half-ass it, he probably will try dropping some more managed devices into the areas like the dorms that are likely to have the biggest troublemakers. If the people he is dealing with really are morons, and he is lucky and catches a few of them right away and gets them shot at dawn, it might put a enough of a damper on the fun to cow the rest of the script kiddies. But I warned him that he is taking a huge risk here - if he really pisses off someone that is knowledgeable, then he's going to be royally screwed. 5 minutes with a packet sniffer will tell someone if they are on a switch or a dumb hub, and as long as he's got any dumb hubs on the network at all, he's taking a huge risk. And breaking into insecure Windows systems - and they got at least 2000 ones to try - is like shooting fish in a barrel. But, it really is like pissing into a fan to try to tell any of these academic types this sort of thing. All of them are so fragging hung up on the cost end that they will happily chop their fingers off to save a nickel - unless that is, they are buying new football jerseys for the football team, or other sacred cow.

My question is, what advice > would you have for dealing with this? Well, I can only tell you about my own experience, but perhaps it will help. I have always been a techie, getting my first computer at the age of 14 - an Apple IIe. Learned some Basic, some peeks and pokes and even some assembly. But I found that I also liked music, and tended more to that side of things for the latter half of my teens and into my 20s, though I never went to college (started a few times, but didn't know what I wanted to do). Somehow I ended up doing web design for a band in my mid 20s, and even though the band broke up, I was good enough at it that it became my career in 2000, right when the dot-com bubble started to burst. I was 30, just starting my career with no degree but making $50k (not great, but not bad), and worked for three different failed companies in the course of a year and a half. Most of this time I was using Windows, but I used various flavors of *nix during the course of my work, mostly Red Hat, plus I installed SuSE at home and used it occasionally. My specialty was front-end web development - I found it increasingly difficult to find work from 2001 onward, especially because I had no strong programming skills, but could do JavaScript and some other scripting, and I also didn't have credentials as a graphic designer, even though I could do it by gut instinct (which sometimes isn't good enough). Eventually I came to hate doing web design, partially because I couldn't find paying work, but mostly because it's not the right discipline for me anyway - it sort of fell in my lap, and I made a go of it. I've been bouncing around between low paying jobs since then, wondering how the hell to get my career started again without going back to school for four years to get a computer science degree, when I discovered FreeBSD. That was last spring. I now know exactly what I want to do, which is to get that computer science degree and then some, specializing in systems administration, and to go into teaching at the college level. First, I know this is a hard road, especially at the age of 34, but I am tired of not *really* knowing my stuff, so to speak. I've been a techie my whole life and even made some money at it, but I've gotten by without having the deep knowledge required to really understand the workings of an *nix OS such as FreeBSD, which I very much want to do, and plus it's time to get serious. I've also found that the systems administration/network end of the spectrum is what suits me best, but I don't care about getting paid big money as much as wanting to teach others (and, concurrently, also have the time and resources to devote to projects such as FreeBSD). It's not a particularly glorious career choice, and if I were a bit different I might want to really go for the corporate path and a fat salary, but honestly I'm happier not working in that sort of environment.

My bones are aching from years of abuse. I'm tired of.. ..being told what I can and can't do with my computers. Did you know many scanners and photocopiers cannot reproduce money? Apparently the US government has worked with the hardware manufactures to perform this feat. What's next? Probably not being able to listen to music that I'm not "certified" as owning. Or being able to rip a DVD I purchased. ..of not being in control of my computer. The two straws that broke my Wincamel's back were SP2 killing my machine (which I eventually solved with a BIOS update), and then (less seriously) not being able to set the theme of the task bar to the Win 2000 theme. Now I'm going to run GNOME and FVWM2, which I will be in full control of my desktop. No weird crap anymore. ..of skills becoming outdated. I was a master of the Commodore. I was a master of AmigaDOS. I was a master of MS-DOS. I was a master of Win95. I was a master of Windows NT4. Then a funny thing happened, I realized if I spent the time to learn UNIX, I could run it for the rest of life, without having to learn a new OS every time Microsoft needed to keep their stock price up. ..of GUI's. What a marvelous thing to be able to shell in to my own computer, from anywhere in the world, from many kind of computers - and check my mail, read newsgroups, write programs, etc. ..of having to enter serial numbers for tons of software I legitimately purchased. The worst is having to type in Microsoft's 44-digit activation codes anytime I want to change my HD, say from RAID 0 to RAID 1. Normally this involves a call to India. ..of purchasing software. Why drive to CompUSA and purchase WordPerfect, when I go to my ports directory and install OpenOffice? Actually I've done both, and going to the directory was a lot cheaper. Why buy MS-SQL or Sybase when I can get Interbase, MySQL, or PostreSQL for free? ..of stupid software. Firefox is so much better than IE, it's hard to where to begin. Throw in the Adblock extension, and it's the perfect tabbed browsing experience. IE is a nightmare of fear and chaos, "Hey someone sent me a cool JPEG to view, OH ITS A VIRUS!" ..of Linux distributions with fatal flaws. I went on a giant search to pick the perfect Linux distro, and I ended up selecting FreeBSD. Every single distro had some aspect I didn't like. ..of proprietary formats. All the emails I lost over the years that were in some kind of Outlook format that at the time I was either too lazy or too ignorant, to make a back up of. ..of malware. UNIX has been secure since it supported multiple users, which was a very long time ago. Windows has never been, and likely will never be, secure. I bought my brother a Mac, he sometimes calls to see if he needs to be concerned about the latest virus making the rounds. "No.", I tell him. My point is, the knowledge you gain about UNIX is your's forever. The freedom is forever. The control is forever. If want to be a sysadmin, you don't have to be master of everything. You just need to be on the path - and you are. thx!

I went on a giant search > to pick the perfect Linux distro, and I ended up selecting FreeBSD. > Every single distro had some aspect I didn't like. I started with FreeBSD in the Fall of 2000, when I started at Lumeta. I loved it so much that when I built my personal server, I used it (and Wing's now running on 4.10-STABLE, and when 5.3 is out of BETA I'll most likely upgrade it...). I had played with RedHat (3 or 4.. I still have the CDs somewhere!), I had used Unix System V (on a Unix PC (AT&T PC 7300) no less!) in the early 90's, but had ended up working with Windows mostly at my jobs, and thus, at home. Every time there was a new version of Windows, there were new idiosyncracies and more bullshit to cram into my head. When I started at Lumeta, I found those old Unix skills creeping back out of my memory--and they STILL WORKED! *gasp* ;) Things that attracted me to FBSD: 1) The ease of the Ports collection. No messy rpm commands to have to memorize or read man pages on--just cd /usr/ports/tree/package && make install clean -- Wow. How much easier can it get? Oh I know... when you don't want the port anymore? cd /usr/ports/tree/package && make deinstall ;) 2) The support in the community--I've never lacked at being able to find help. Granted, this is more Unix-oriented than FBSD-oriented.. But I have to admit that the mailing lists have been a *HUGE* help when I've needed it. 3) Finding that O'Reilly hosted articles about *BSD (Like Dru Lavigne's many articles discussing the ports tree and other nifty things in FreeBSD, and how to maintain & keep them in tip-top shape)! 4) Finding that I could actually *run* more than, say, 2 or 3 services on a particular server! (The first FBSD server I helped configure at Lumeta served as our: general development, Samba-shared, user home, network print server, DNS, DHCP, Apache, RT, email server--I was amazed you could run all that on one box without it crashing daily, like Windows would at the time!) 5) The ease with which I was able to take an existing port (misc/instant-workstation) and make a Lumeta package which would run over the course of a weekend, hands-free, and build a developer's workstation to our specs! For free! I didn't need to learn any weird packaging script language (read: InstallShield), nor did I have to worry incessantly about "how many licenses do we have left for ..." like I had to with our Windows boxen.

Yeah--early on I switched from Outcrack to Eudora, which, though better, still wasn't perfect--but at least it was in a Unix-like format! :) > My point is, the knowledge you gain about UNIX is your's forever.

It's not all about what you have memorized. It's knowing where to look for the information. I have *no* qualms telling people in interviews, when they ask me a question I don't know the answer to off the top of my head, that I could easily find that information via man or a Google search. In general, I have found that if the person interviewing you Has Clueage, that's better to them than someone sitting there scratching their head going "Um.. let me think... um... " for a few minutes. Myself, I am preparing to migrate my home PC from WinXP to FreeBSD 5.x soon. Mostly because I'm sick of the stupid driver conflicts, spontaneous reboots where M$ blames my NVidia drivers, and software that ceases to work because of SP2 (my screensavers, no less. And--do they cease to work gracefully? Noooooo--that'd be too polite--it just locks the PC with a black screen and a mouse pointer which is the only thing that responds to anything, forcing a reboot. Nice eh?). I'm already using Firefox, Thunderbird, and OO.o, so the switch shouldn't be too bad :) Best, Glenn -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Oct 3 11:18:28 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AA8D616A4CE for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 11:18:28 +0000 (GMT) Received: from pr93.lublin.sdi.tpnet.pl (pr93.lublin.sdi.tpnet.pl [217.97.36.93]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 34E4543D31 for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 11:18:26 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from michal@pasternak.w.lub.pl) Received: (qmail 1296 invoked by uid 1000); 3 Oct 2004 11:19:40 -0000 Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 13:19:40 +0200 From: Michal Pasternak To: Ted Mittelstaedt Message-ID: <20041003111940.GA1204@pasternak.w.lub.pl> References: <20041002225028.05205e9a.metaridley@mchsi.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2 Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: cc: FreeBSD Questions cc: Dave Vollenweider Subject: Re: When Unix Stops Being Fun X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Michal Pasternak List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 11:18:28 -0000 Ted Mittelstaedt [Sat, Oct 02, 2004 at 10:46:05PM -0700]: > As an analogy - there's lots of people that know how to pull into > a service station and add air to their car tires.

Don't worry, you don't need to know and learn all that: "copy files to and from a floppy disk"?? I don't even remember when I had a computer with a floppy drive. On the other hand, the vi editor? Well, I have known people who wrote a 200 page astronomy thesis in latex using vi, but in most cases you won't use vi. So why is it important? Because it is so simple, it is one of the few things that you can rely on when your system has crashed. But even then, I actually know one SA whose Digital Unix crashed so hard that it could only run ed. Some things you want at almost all costs to avoid, NIS for example, and NIS+ in particular, I have found that most manuals say "if you don't REALLY (and I mean REALLY) need it, don't use it". LDAP can replace NIS and solve many other problems at the same time, yet it's not on the list. Some of the things, you really already know: "launch an application from the commandline"? "from GNOME"? And some things you just can't learn before you need to: "Basic trouble- shooting" - what to do when your system just works?? :-) Mostly this list summarizes the tasks and tools you will likely be doing or using if you follow a path as SA. You don't need to know it all, it is far more important that you know where to look and can learn as needed. One thing I find missing though is security aspects which has been reduced to basic security. Today there are so many tools for system administration that this is not that complicated a task. There are only few to manage security. There's much to learn, so don't waste your time learning the things you don't need, often you will also be more motivated having a real problem to solve. I have found that the most valuable skill a good SA has is LAZINESS! Yup, but beware, there are two kinds: You can be lazy in the sence that you only do what is absolutely necessary and postpone it as much as posible - this is the negative kind. Then, on the other hand, you can be clever! Being clever allows you to minimize the work involved in any task and still get it done on time. So, when I refer to laziness, it's the second kind. For this reason, I'd recommend you to learn the tools, not the tasks. The tasks changes much more often than the tools. Learn the most power- full tools first, they'll get you far. Secondly, learn in general the differences between like products, know what are their strengths and weaknesses. This way you can choose the right tool to the right problem. Perl is a good hammer and bangs many nails quickly, but sometimes you need a screwdriver for the problem you have. Btw, Perl AFAIK is the true product of the clever laziness. > It took me almost two years to get to where I am today, and it looks like > I've barely scratched the surface of what I'd need to know. But now, > I feel like instead of learning things on my own for fun, I have to learn > other things I don't really have a need to learn for myself or that I want > to, just so that I can apply that to other peoples' situations. Most work involves solving other peoples problems. When it comes to SA, I think it is much more fun to adminster real users. On my home network, I have three users, me, myself and my mirror image. I have to go look in the mirror to meet any of my users, and eventually I found that I just don't have enough problems to keep me occupied - that is now, after I switched to FreeBSD, before with RedHat linux, I could always do the occasional reinstall or sit down and try to trace the dependencies and with Windows I needed an assistant :-) On a real network you become the hero of the day and the one people love to hate. You get a big screen so you can hide behind it and your office appears empty. You get a huge number of interesting and very different tasks, and what you have tried at home you get to try on a much bigger scale - you can actually test things with real workload and not just simulate. You get access to tons of equipment - your servers may be a cluster or blade whatever, and not that old Pentium 133Mhz. You will likely be buying new equipment to test and play with, and if things works well, buy more to install. All that is fun. Then you will have users who will complain everyday about the same problems and who feel you should serve them first. There are tons of aspects to good system administration, not only the technical stuff. As the SA, you will be the one who enables people to communicate, you will be in the center of that communication, you will know things you don't want to know, and things you shouldn't. All these things makes it more interesting than your home network, I'd say. So keep up the good work ;-) and don't worry if you don't have the answer at hand - you can always say "42" .. :-) Cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: www.locolomo.org S/MIME Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/2004071206.crt Subject ID: A9:76:7A:ED:06:95:2B:8D:48:97:CE:F2:3F:42:C8:F2:22:DE:4C:B9 Fingerprint: 4A:E8:63:38:46:F6:9A:5D:B4:DC:29:41:3F:62:D3:0A:73:25:67:C2 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Oct 3 12:09:38 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 182A016A4CE for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 12:09:38 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp.mailbox.co.uk (smtp.mailbox.co.uk [195.82.125.32]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7AE2F43D31 for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 12:09:37 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from waynep@smtp.penguinpowered.org) Received: from core.penguinpowered.org ([212.18.250.170] helo=smtp.penguinpowered.org) by smtp.mailbox.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1CE5BI-0002mZ-65 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 03 Oct 2004 13:09:36 +0100 Received: from waynep by smtp.penguinpowered.org with local (Exim 4.30; FreeBSD) id 1CE5Au-000BLn-OS for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 03 Oct 2004 13:09:12 +0100 Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 13:09:12 +0100 From: Wayne Pascoe To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20041003120912.GA43602@marvin.penguinpowered.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i X-System: FreeBSD i386 with kernel 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 Sender: Wayne Pascoe Subject: Mail server questions (SMTP Auth, Imap and virtual domains) X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 12:09:38 -0000 Hi all, I've got a mail setup doing virtualhosts as described at http://www.penguinpowered.org/documentation/exim_virtualhosting.html My users can pull their mail down with POP, but have to use their ISP's SMTP server for outgoing mail. I'd like to do two things at this stage, and I'd appreciate any advice on pointers to help me achieve these: 1. Setup SMTP Auth with Exim so that they can use my boxes for outgoing SMTP. This would allow me to setup SPF on their domains as well, which would be a plus. 2. Setup a webmail solution. I'm currently using Squirrelmail for users that exist in /etc/passwd (not very many!), and am considering a migration to Horde/IMP. Near as I can tell though it's not the webmail client that matters, but the imap server. Does anyone know of an imap server that will do 'virtual mailboxes' like vm-pop3d does ?

"Our Latest Idea that Worked!" "Reading Across New York" By: Jackie Seiars, NYC Teacher "I created a great interdisciplinary incentive system that reinforces reading for my students. One of the main topics of my Social Studies curriculum is New York State geography and landmarks. I have a detailed map of New York State in my room with a colored thumbtack for every student. Every week, the thumbtacks take a trip to location or landmark within New York State. A student's thumbtack is advanced a set distance for every page they read during reading time. This has really motivated students. Along the way to the final destination, the students will have several stops. These include major towns/cities or landmarks. When a student reaches this location, they receive a simple reward. The rewards range from extra free time to a snack. When they reach their final destination we provide them with larger rewards. Students really seem to enjoy this system and they're learning a lot more about their State. This system is simple and can be adapted to any state, province, and/or country." ============================================================= What Worked for You? PLEASE Take a minute to tell us!

I actually meant to post my original message to FreeBSD Newbies, but I posted it here by mistake. Since the damage has been done, I may as well continue. I just wanted to clarify a few things about where I'm coming from: 1) I'm not actually going for the RHCE certification. That page which talked about what would be required was just something I came across when I was Googling for tips on how to start a SA career. I mention it because most of the responses to the original question dealt more with system adiministration in general, and I thought it was worth paying attention to for that reason. 2) The one job I have right now that entails system administration is a volunteer job at my alma mater's student run radio station. They have four Windows boxes, a NetBSD box that I set up, and a Mac that I also want to put NetBSD on as soon as I can get it to boot the installer. Right now the problems I have to deal with mainly have to do with the automation software for two of the Windows boxes and getting at least one of the network cards for the NetBSD box registered with the university so that it can be on their network. My apologies for posting to the wrong list; that was dumb of me, I know. - Dave From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Oct 3 13:52:37 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 37CA016A4CE for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 13:52:37 +0000 (GMT) Received: from sentry.24cl.com (174.113.sn.ct.dsl.thebiz.net [216.238.113.174]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CCA0043D53 for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 13:52:36 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from zlists@mgm51.com) Received: from winbloat (unknown [10.0.0.38]) by sentry.24cl.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2DAF137278; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 09:52:35 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <200410030952350205.008A57A6@sentry.24cl.com> In-Reply-To: <20041002225028.05205e9a.metaridley@mchsi.com> References: <20041002225028.05205e9a.metaridley@mchsi.com> X-Mailer: Courier 3.50.00.09.1098 (http://www.rosecitysoftware.com) (K) Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 09:52:35 -0400 From: "MikeM" To: "Dave Vollenweider" , "FreeBSD Questions" Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: Re: When Unix Stops Being Fun X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 13:52:37 -0000 On 10/2/2004 at 10:50 PM Dave Vollenweider wrote: | I came across this page: | http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2001/8/13/131727/462 and | I'm overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge I'd have to gain. ============= That page is ridiculous. You do not need to know all those items. You may not even need to know a third of them. What you do need is a basic knowledge of how *nix works, common troubleshooting skills, a curiosity to learn, and an ability to learn.

But its the goal beyond the task that should be the deciding factor. "Learning unix" is not a reason. Its like saying you want to have children just for the sake of having them. Why do you want to learn unix? To enable yourself to start a business? To develop some great product idea? To enpower yourself to advance your career? Those are worthwhile reasons. There are lots of ways to occupy your mind. But its the ones with the really good reasons to learn it who are the best at it. Its also important to always remember (in life generally), that no matter how knowledgable you become, there will always be someone more knowledgeable, so don't be discouraged by others, or the fact that you are behind. Those "others" are the way you catch up, by listening to them, separating fact from bullshit, and advancing your own knowledge. The top of the bell curve is when you can spot the posers, the know-it-alls who really know nothing at all. Thats when you'll know you are on your way.

They use PLAIN authentication, and I did not have too much trouble getting the base 64 string by snooping with Ethereal when I sent mail from Evolution, and can send out emails "by hand" or from an Expect script. The relevant part of my sendmail config file is: define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.broadband.rogers.com') set SASL options TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl There doesn't seem any way to tell it what my userid and password for the ISP should be.

I want to use Thunderbird 0.7.3 running on FreeBSD 5.2.1 to connect to the server. Basically, this works. But when new mails arrive in the mailbox, Thunderbird only indicates them in the folder tree, when I click on the folder, I sometimes see the new messages, sometimes they remain invisible. Sometimes switching to another folder in my mailbox and then back will help - sometimes not. Sometimes I can see the messages after some time, sometimes I have to restart Thunderbird. Is this rather a Thunderbird-problem or an IMAP-problem? (Courier is running on NetBSD 1.6.2, if that matters - Courier's log files did not show any helpful messages) Sylpheed 0.9.12 did not show this behaviour. However, I'd prefer Thunderbird for its ability to read both email and news.

For some reason, GD has a dependency on X. Why is that? This is a server that doesn't even have a monitor plugged in, what features of X does the PHP GD module require? It seems rather ridiculous to me that there would that requirement. What's the reasoning behind it? What features of the X libraries does GD make use of?

This is what the /etc/mail/authinfo file is for. This is the page you need to read -- specifically the second half: http://www.sendmail.org/m4/smtp_auth.html (or see the section "Providing SMTP AUTH Data when sendmail acts as Client" in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README, which is basically the same text.) The define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl stuff is actually deprecated, but it still works for the time being. However, to be completely up to date and for maximum future proofing, instead of that line, you should use: FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo')dnl Then edit the file /etc/mail/authinfo adding text as shown in the documentation: AuthInfo:other.dom "U:user" "I:user" "P:secret" "R:other.dom" "M:DIGEST= -MD5" AuthInfo:more.dom "U:user" "P=3Dc2VjcmV0" Then process that file into the db hash type read by Sendmail: # makemap hash authinfo.db < authinfo and make sure that the authinfo data is properly secured: # chown root:wheel authinfo* # chmod 600 authinfo* Then restart sendmail and try a few tests. Note that if you're using PLAIN authentication you should also use privacy options 'goaway' to help prevent the password being trivially disclosed: define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,goaway')dnl You can use this method (with certain small modifications) to authenticate your MSP sendmail instance to your MTA sendmail -- search for 'msp-authinfo' in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README.

You'd THINK so. Listen, chances are that you can, in rural areas, get away with never locking your door. Nothing happens...no one marches in and robs you. What are the chances an average thief notices your doors aren't locked? Or that someone comes in and assaults you? Yet you still get the person on the news saying "we never had to lock our doors before...I guess it's just getting too dangerous a world to not do that anymore..." I'd rather go through that extra five second hassle and *take my keys with me* and *lock the friggin' door*. Just so I can say I wasn't an idiot for inviting the problem in the first place. Maybe it would never happen. Maybe nothing will, and chances are that if someone really wanted to break into my house they're going to find a way. But I don't want them to have it so easy as to just walk through the bloody door. Want my data? Steal the CPU. You'll need to get the hard drive out. It's always in a state where either I'm at the console or it's asking for a password. Besides, it helps me remember my passwords to be using them all the time :-) You just never know when someone will want to pull a little "prank" that you won't have patience or time for. > But people should not have to be looking over their shoulders > where they live, eat, sleep. This is a college, not a kindergarden. True, and all security is a tradeoff. People should realize that the five seconds it takes to lock and unlock a console is not a huge detriment to their schedule, and that taking reasonable precautions against theft and vandalism will save them time down the road that "one time" that someone decides to do something to them for giggles. Yes, it's a college. And like humans everywhere else, they act like giant kids. Hell, they use college as an EXCUSE to act like idiots. You know...all that PRESSURE they're under. The tests. The essays. The reports. The heavy drinking. They have to vent SOMEHOW. Besides, how high does a Dell monitor bounce from the third floor dorm window?? > Your logic is of the variety of "well, the security scanners at the > airports didn't do what they were supposed to be doing, so we > deserved to have the WTC collapsed".

If the > world really operated like you seem to think, it would be anarchy. What, that people will be people and it's better to take the five seconds to take "reasonable" precautions is out of line? I see it as taking responsibility for my belongings (and in college, those of my roommate's as well). My roommate and I got into a habit of carrying our keys...it kept us from being locked out of our cars, it kept our belongings from disappearing from our college apartment. Nothing would probably have happened if we didn't do this, but it was insurance. I don't *expect* my house to burn down, but I am insured for it. Your parallel doesn't quite cut it. Smuggling things onboard a plane that is contraband is a little different than playing pranks and using your computer in an unauthorized manner. It crosses many lines. I am taking responsibility for my data when I take a few seconds to lock the console. To search someone for every possible danger they may pose to a plane not only crosses into crossing personal space and privacy, but is impossible against someone who is *determined* to cause a problem. Maybe I'm not quite seeing what you are arguing in the comparison...how the conclusion logically follows your line of reasoning. >> Your reactions are your policies and your rules; if they work for you, >> that's all and good.

HOWEVER,...(isn't there always a however?)...there are some people who invite trouble. The world isn't a happy merry place and we can't always tell who did something vs. who is impersonating them vs. if they're just plain LYING to cover their butts. Especially with students. "You can't prove I was using that computer so you can't nail me for it...someone else came in here and did it!" Well, fine. Slap them on the wrist, tell them to take measures to prevent it from happening in the future. After a few times, they shouldn't know better. I wasn't suggesting crucifying them for being stupid, but rather make it inconvenient or enough of a hassle for them that they take responsibility for their systems or their identities, or if they're lying, enough to make them consider not doing it again. Unless you can catch them red handed. Otherwise you're going to have a whole dorm of people claiming some friggin' ghost is using their computer to mess with the web server when they go take a leak for five minutes and of COURSE, they have NO CLUE how it happened.

Take down the campus systems after warning the holders of the purse strings several times, then have it go all to hell for extended periods of time...either he'll lose his job, or the "I TOLD YOU!!!" will loosen the strings a bit. He's in a tough spot, and if management will NOT support him for a true fix, it's time to start polishing the resume', because it gets worse before getting better...if it ever does. Playing cat and mouse with a fledgling black hat will help with his skills though :-) Pissing off anyone who thinks they're "l337" carries risks. For all he knows, he may find his tires slashed if the kid gets nailed with an expulsion. Or servers that are vandalized from a breakin. He may be targeted to the point where paranoia is no longer unwarranted. You *never know*!! And I'm not making light of the situation...these are all possible things. Maybe the kids will get bored and stop. Maybe they'll move on to other things. Maybe they just wanted to test the waters and thought this was amusing. Maybe they'll stop once they get a little nudge in the "um...not funny guys..." direction. They obviously aren't very bright or have a personal grudge if they're willing to take down school resources for amusement. They're shooting themselves in the foot. Sounds like they are idiots who are miffed at the school for something. > But, it really is like pissing into a fan to try to tell any of these > academic types this sort of thing.

True enough. That's why I suggested the above...the system goes down, it's amazing how that helps loosen the purse strings, because it's *needed* and they don't see that until something happens. The guy is trying to do his job but if they don't support him, that position will always be a temporary stepping stone to a real position where it won't lead to premature greying and nervous breakdowns. -Bart From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Oct 3 20:17:50 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EAA7E16A4CE for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 20:17:50 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.chrononomicon.com (chrononomicon.com [216.37.143.27]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8415F43D39 for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 20:17:50 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsilver@chrononomicon.com) Received: from [192.168.0.42] (unknown [192.168.0.42]) by mail.chrononomicon.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id DA27C10CB9C for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 16:17:49 -0400 (EDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v619) In-Reply-To: <20041002225028.05205e9a.metaridley@mchsi.com> References: <20041002225028.05205e9a.metaridley@mchsi.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Message-Id: <4C409544-1579-11D9-BD30-000D932C89A2@chrononomicon.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Bart Silverstrim Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 16:17:49 -0400 To: FreeBSD Questions X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.619) Subject: Re: When Unix Stops Being Fun X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 20:17:51 -0000 On Oct 2, 2004, at 11:50 PM, Dave Vollenweider wrote: > This has nothing to do with technical problems, but rather it's more > of a request for moral support.

It's a good overview, but man oh man...you can't memorize all of that. Worse, things change over time. The "Linux way" to accomplish something changes depending on the distro, the release version,... the important thing is that you can *look it up* and are able to understand the fundamentals. You may not know precisely how to sit down and get that new printer to print first time through and have it going in ten minutes, but you should be familiar enough to know that it may have something to do with configuring LPR and/or SMB sharing or CUPS to not be scratching your head over what to look for next. You should be able to google with decent search terms and be able to follow howtos. The stuff from the courses are pretty specific. Good to know, yes. Only thing to know? NO. You need to be flexible because in two years that test will be outdated and not of extreme use when you're trying to figure out how to install apache on FreeBSD properly...they don't have ports on Red Hat :-) (heresy, I know, old schoolers are chanting *install from source! install from source!* and everyone should have had to try that at some point in their learning process...) Also, there's sub niches in learning system administration. You can't be a great jack of all trades, but you can be familiar with the areas and be really good at one or two. I hate hardware. I can make Cat5 patches, but I don't enjoy it. I know people that would love to spend all their time punching drops and if put in support would rather punch users. Some people spend more time getting adept at diagnosing network problems, or setting up servers and maintaining them. Some people get stuck in niches and never adapt or grow (ever find people who think Netware is the ultimate server OS for everything under the sun? Could you at least consider that maybe a small Linux machine could have handled that without the cost??). Some people truly enjoy helping users with training or minor tech support, like a lab support person. That list is daunting. Find what you like. After setting up five or six machines, you get exposed to that stuff in due time. If you're a fast learner and good at googling for information, it'll all be okay :-) > It took me almost two years to get to where I am today, and it looks > like I've barely scratched the surface of what I'd need to know.

Um...yeah. That happens. Surest way to kill a passion is to make it a job :-) Just make sure the benefits outweigh the hassles. You'll hang in there. You'll have to learn a lot of gotcha's along the way, that's just the way life is. Especially in technology. > The result is that lately learning these OSs has become more of a > chore than a fun hobby, and I'm still intimidated by what I need to > learn to get to where I want to go. It almost seems like it's not > worth it. That's a decision only you can make. You know, you don't need to stay in one profession your whole life. Why not combine radio with technology? Start a radio show about technology. Work as a consultant for stations. Start an Internet radio show like Radio Tiki did. Most departments in businesses aren't just one person. If you start a consultation business, take in employees or a partner. Or if you go into "the real world", there's usually other people working with you. You have to have a support system for learning, and in my experience, two people can easily complement each other in skills. That's why they hire other people...there's gaps that need filling in manpower or sheer "what the hell is causing this??" head scratchers. > Now, being that I know there are some very experienced people on this > list, I'm betting that I'm not the only one that has experienced this, > that learning new things in Unix-like OSs becomes more of a chore than > something to do for fun. My question is, what advice would you have > for dealing with this? What, that there's a lot to learn? Dude, it ain't gonna stop. If you enjoy figuring out the puzzles, you can keep up. You'll find a niche (or for consulting businesses, you MAKE your niche and people come to you). Computer paradigms have been changing and continue to change. Get experience, get exposure to new ideas, keep up in lists and enlist the aide of others, and work on your *researching* skills. Every day I'm hitting google for some oddball support question thrown my way and I'm poring over lists and support boards because of some Windows quirk or some new log entry that looks suspicious. If you dealing with the stress...well...burning out has some benefits too if your company has good medical compensation. -Bart From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Oct 3 20:31:13 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C4D0616A4CE for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 20:31:13 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.chrononomicon.com (chrononomicon.com [216.37.143.27]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 945AF43D49 for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 20:31:13 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bsilver@chrononomicon.com) Received: from [192.168.0.42] (unknown [192.168.0.42]) by mail.chrononomicon.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id B74A410CE45 for ; Sun, 3 Oct 2004 16:31:12 -0400 (EDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v619) In-Reply-To: <415FA64E.8010708@optonline.net> References: <20041002225028.05205e9a.metaridley@mchsi.com> <415FA64E.8010708@optonline.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Message-Id: <2ACFDFB0-157B-11D9-BD30-000D932C89A2@chrononomicon.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Bart Silverstrim Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 16:31:12 -0400 To: FreeBSD Questions X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.619) Subject: Re: When Unix Stops Being Fun X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 20:31:13 -0000 On Oct 3, 2004, at 3:12 AM, bsdfsse wrote: > > Ironically, I'm switching to FreeBSD because I'm already tired.

I agree with your post 100%, and I remember frequent discussions about this (scanning money being hardware crippled), but sitting here and reading your post reminded me my wallet was on the desk and my new scanner is sitting here...well, thought I'd test it. Must be my scanner's broken, because I just scanned and printed the face side of a $20 bill. Almost 11" long on the printout, but still looks like a giant $20. Just curious if it would work or not.

I saw another folding client in the ports, but I wanted to tweak the script a little to help my comp run quietly. If I could I would like to run my comp 24x7, but I can't do it right now because I have a hard drive that just screams its so loud and it is in my room. I got the ataidle port, but my drive will spin back up right away or in a min or so. I was hoping this would work, but it seems FreeBSD keeps using the hard drive. I rememer watching shows I downloaded and hearing the hard drive spin down(the show would fit in ram if it matters) a few months ago while running current. Also my hardrive will still spin down while I am in long games of starcraft in windows. I have 5.3 beta3 now and I want to know if it is normal for the hard drive to never spin down for other people that have acpi or apm working. I wrote my first script to create a md, put f@h in it, and run f@h out of ram. When I shutdown the script should cp the working dir back to the hard drive and get rid of the md. This script will only matter if I can get the hard disk to spin down. If you understand what I am tring to do and have some idea please let me know what you think.

But I don't know where I should insert the codes. Basically, when an interrupt arrives, the kernel needs to call the corresponding interrrupt handler. I need to insert some codes before any interrupt is dispatched. Could anyone tell me which file in the kernel (4.8) I should look at for interrupt distpatching?

If I look in /var/log/messages, I see the following: Oct 3 19:43:09 grog qpopper[730]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with client at 0-1pool198-217.nas2.fargo1.nd.us.da.qwest.net (67.1.198.217); new session-id; cipher: RC4-SHA (RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1), 128 bits Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: I/O Error Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: Error writing to client Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: I/O Error Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: Error writing to client Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: I/O Error Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: Error writing to client Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: OpenSSL Error during write Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: ...SSL error: error:1409F07F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING:bad write retry Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: Error writing to client Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: ecrist at 0-1pool198-217.nas2.fargo1.nd.us.da.qwest.net (67.1.198.217): -ERR POP hangup from grog.secure-computing.net Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: OpenSSL Error during write Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: ...SSL error: error:1409F07F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING:bad write retry Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: Error writing to client Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: Stats: ecrist 0 0 1313 6756817 0-1pool198-217.nas2.fargo1.nd.us.da.qwest.net 67.1.198.217 Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: OpenSSL Error during write Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: ...SSL error: error:1409F07F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING:bad write retry Oct 3 19:43:14 grog qpopper[730]: Error writing to client Any idea why this would be? I have a feeling it's because the server is trying to send to my public IP address, but that's being blocked by the VPN from the server side. I'm all confused now.

Since then I have noticed quite an increase in server load - I'd say my current load is about five times what it was before. Graph available here: http://bjorn.swift.is/tmp/hermes-uptime-year.png I suspect this being because the "new way" seems to compile everything as loadable modules. My question is basically whether "this is just how it is" and that I should compile php myself I want it built as one binary - or if this increase in load is something not to be expected. Has anyone else witnessed anything like this on their servers? What did you do ? The server is a patched FreeBSD 4.8 running php 4.3.8 and apache 1.3.31. It's not a heavy loaded one, serving an average of just over 3 req/sec, but most of the files (besides images) are rather bloated php scripts; webmail, message boards and such. The server is running Nick Lindridge's PHP Accelerator. If anyone has any tips or thoughts they would be greatly appreciated. (Would freebsd-isp perhaps be a better list for a question of this sort?)

The first FBSD system (192.168.1.1) is acting as the print server and using apsfilter as the filtering software. The Windows XP box prints to the .1 system through SAMBA. Both the FBSD .1 server and the Windows box print fine. Text is good, images are good, everything is good. The problem I'm having is with printing from the second FBSD system which I'll identify as 192.168.1.2. The FBSD .2 system is sending print jobs to the FBSD .1 system using remote lpd printing. The jobs are making it to the remote FBSD system (192.168.1.1), but the text and images are about 50% larger than what is printed from the FBSD .1 system itself, or the windows XP system. Can anyone help me resolve this problem? My printcap entries are as follows: 192.168.1.1 PRINTCAP ENTRY (the FBSD print server) -------------------------------------------------- HP1300|PS;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP1300:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/HP1300/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/HP1300/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: 192.168.1.2 PRINTCAP ENTRY (the other FBSD machine) --------------------------------------------------- HP1300:lp=:rm=192.168.1.1:rp=HP1300:sd=/var/spool/lpd/qdir By the way, the HP1300 is the only printer attached to the FBSD .1 machine and there are no other printers on either of the other systems.

Because if it does, then one of that 20 needs to be fired, simply because they cannot be trusted. It is worth it to me to suffer some inconvenience/dataloss/whatever to discover that one of that 20 is a prankster so we can fire them. People entrust their precious data with us.

I certainly expect this, after living in a dorm myself. If I was in the OP's position I would ASSUME that students in the dorms would be pulling this kind of stunt with regularity. BUT, I would EXPECT that they WOULD NOT do it. And I would tell them so. And when inevitably some of them figured I was some dumbfuck squarehead and pulled their tricks anyway, I would see to it that they got expelled, and I would let the rest of them know that this is the consequence of choosing to pull a trick like this. I would not, however, punish innocent victims, even if they walked off and left their systems logged in. This is counterproductive and just unites the troublemakers and their victims against you. I know perfectly well that there's people walking around that have big chips on their shoulders and just have this inner need to try to punch holes in the system. But, you need to do what is necessary to track them and root them out. The fact is that the OP has culpability as well - or more specifically his predicessors do - because you just don't put dumb unmanaged flat hubs and a big flat network into operation in a college with a lot of dorms on it. In this case the college shares some of the blame for cheaping out on the infrastructure, because they are enabling this behavior. > > Your logic is of the variety of "well, the security scanners at the > > airports didn't do what they were supposed to be doing, so we > > deserved to have the WTC collapsed".

However it isn't good practice to put server consoles in such areas. I would consider a dorm room a secure area, I would consider smack in the middle of the Student Center to be an insecure area. > To search someone for every possible danger they may pose to > a plane not only crosses into crossing personal space and privacy, The plane owner would say that people do not have a right to fly on a plane. It's my plane and if I want to strip-search everyone who rides on it, that's MY right. If they don't like it they don't have to fly on it. > but > is impossible against someone who is *determined* to cause a problem. > Once again it is surprising you would say this - if this is really true then locking your computer's data is pointless because it's impossible against someone who is *determined* to cause a problem. I would have thought that you would have pointed out that Israel has never had a hijacking once they got serious about security on planes, which happened very early. And there's a LOT of determined people in that area that are determined to do whatever blows to Israel they can. > Maybe I'm not quite seeing what you are arguing in the comparison...how > the conclusion logically follows your line of reasoning. > I'll try to restate it. Your philosophy, as near as I can tell, is that if someone leaves a door unlocked or a computer unsecured, or they fail to adequately search a passenger boarding a plane, then they are just as guilty as the criminal if later on it turns out that a criminal stole all their belongings, or used their computer to commit a crime, or boarded a plane and crashed it into an office building. (by just as guilty I don't mean they get punished the same) I am saying this is a bankrupt philosophy, and when I framed it in terms of the WTC collapse you actually saw the light and started to agree with me. Now, I have made the transition between these 3 events so you can see now that the philosophy clearly has a problem. You cannot start defending the lax scanners for not catching the hijackers, then turn around and criticize the dumb blondes for leaving their computers unlocked and someone gets on their machine and trashes the network. This is inconsistent, and if you are an educator you know the dangers of an inconsistent philosophy - it produces people like Rush Limbaugh who say that the war on drugs is great because it's endorsed by the Republicans, then go home and feed their painkiller addiction. > >> Your reactions are your policies and your rules; if they work for you, > >> that's all and good.

Expelling someone is like a speeding ticket, if there's a preponderance of the evidence then out they go. Proof is really unnecessary. And to the "not me" defense, well if you REALLY aren't positive that the student your accusing actually did it, well then you can make them sign a statement that they didn't do it - and that they will keep their systems secured from now on. That's YOUR way of handling it though, and in my opinion it weakens the administrators authority. It's much better that if something happens and you aren't positive you have the culprit, that you say nothing and accuse nothing, and just start watching that person a whole lot more closely AND clean your own house (ie: replace hardware with better hardware) so you don't get caught with your pants down again. And my point was that if you have the right network equipment then you CAN tell who did it. If I had Sam Smith on my shitlist, and at 2:00am the MAC address on his port changed and my switch notified me, I'd be on the phone with the RA asking him to take a walk down there and see if Sam was asleep, or was up, or was up swapping the NIC on his PC. I might even go down there myself. > I wasn't suggesting crucifying them for being stupid, but rather make > it inconvenient or enough of a hassle for them that they take > responsibility for their systems or their identities, or if they're > lying, enough to make them consider not doing it again.

Jails are filled with > innocent people. Just ask the prisoners. > Well your standard of proof here keeps changing. Frankly if I was running a college network and I actually caught someone red-handed with incontrovertible proof and witnesses and all that it would be calling the police and filing criminal charges time. I might not even bother expelling them, actually - all that does is send them back home to mother where the local prosecutor now has to waste a lot of tax money prosecuting them. Far better to leave them in school and let the local prosecutor fine them and make them do community service and all that. A few weeks cleaning ashtrays and wastebins at the local courthouse might be a far more effective punishment. But if it was a preponderance of the evidence thing, to where criminal charges wouldn't hold up, then expel them. Sure, they might actually be innocent. Tough. I've gotten a traffic ticket before where the cop lied and said I was going 45 in a 35 zone, I've also gotten trapped by a bunch of hillbilly cops one night and got a failure-to-dim-headlights-to -oncoming-traffic ticket when they searched me and my car simply because they didn't like the looks of me and pulled me over and found nothing, and were pissed about finding nothing. Both times I complained both times the judge still fined me. Innocents do get blamed sometimes. But if it was me doing the expelling, I wouldn't make an accusation in the first place unless the preponderance of the evidence was sky-high a-la OJ Simpson time. > > He is having money troubles.

If it was me and my tires got slashed in this kind of circumstance I'd be asking my boss for a new set. If my boss told me to go to hell then I'd say "OK" and start looking for another job, and once I got it, the BSA and the SPA would get a dossier of all license violations on campus. But most decent bosses in this instance wouldn't tell the administrator to go to hell. They might, though, tell him to slide the new tires in under an expense report. And as for servers being vandalized - again, so what? What kind of an administrator are you if you cannot restore from your backups. That kind of thing HELPS you out because now you get all new servers without having to budget justify it. And the school can work with the police and decide if they want to investigate it further, in the meantime collect on their insurance policy. If your afraid of them you shouldn't be an adminstrator in the first place. > And I'm not making light of the situation...these are all possible > things. Maybe the kids will get bored and stop.

I've also noted a few previous attempts to get an answer to this question on freebsd-questions in January and February, but nobody replied. This doesn't seem to be an isolated case.. I've been trying to get 5.3-BETA6 PXE booting; I don't want anything special at the moment, just an NFS mounted root with tools available to perform disaster recovery etc. I've got the kernel transferred via TFTP and an mfsroot. If I use the mfsroot.flp from a release I eventually see sysinstall pop up, so it looks like everything is working, with one exception - the last message I see before sysinstall appears is the acpi.ko loading notification. Where are all the kernel messages going? It makes it quite difficult to construct my own mfsroot that just gives me a prompt when I can't see what's going on :) I've verified that the console is set to vidconsole in the loader; I tried comconsole and attaching a serial console also, same result, no messages. Setting boot_verbose didn't change anything. I'm not sure what else to try. Does anyone have any ideas?

I would assume I use > > apachessl_enable="YES"? Thanks. I chose to protect my SSL cert with a passphrase. This makes automatic startup at boot impossible. I use FBSD 4.10, and apache would normally start via a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.conf. I just made sure there was no .sh script for apache, and start it myself using apachectl startssl. The problem with this setup is that if the server reboots in the middle of the night the web server does not come on, but this almost never happens anyway. You have to balance security with convenience to fit your situation, and I chose security.

I don't know what your sending from .2 to .1, probably raw postscript - which in my experience is usually misinterpreted when it's not processed on the machine it's generated on. I know that in theory you should be able to send postscript jobs from any bsd or even windows systems to a central server that converts the postscript to whatever binary-speak that the HP1300 uses - but in practice I've never got this to work 100% all the time.

At the moment all sorts of things work correctly: The FreeBSD machine acts as a test-server and firewall when I'm working from home My WinXP and Apple OSX 10.3.5 desktops can see web pages, send/rcv email I use vtun to enable all 3 machines to access my corporate VPN, What is NOT working is iChatAV on the Mac. The remote person always seems to get a connection timed out error stating that they are unable to connect to 10.0.1.1 (the ip address of the mac on the INTERNAL network, rather than the fixed IP address of my DSL modem) The DSL modem thingy contains a primitive firewall, and applies NAT to the packets addressed to the external ethernet address of my FreeBSD computer. This computer then uses firewall/NAT rules to allow packets in to/out from the other two computers. I can even successfully play Quake III on-line from the Windows box, so the NAT redirection of UDP packets is working there... If anyone on the list has successfully configured this to work, I will be prepared to send you my rc.firewall and natd.conf files to see if you can help me.

The reason why this dialog pops up at startup and every re-start is that the RSA private key inside your server.key file is stored in encrypted format for security reasons. The pass-phrase is needed to be able to read and parse this file. When you can be sure that your server is secure enough you perform two steps: 1. Remove the encryption from the RSA private key (while preserving the original file): $ cp server.key server.key.org $ openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key 2. Make sure the server.key file is now only readable by root: $ chmod 400 server.key Now server.key will contain an unencrypted copy of the key. If you point your server at this file it will not prompt you for a pass-phrase. HOWEVER, if anyone gets this key they will be able to impersonate you on the net. PLEASE make sure that the permissions on that file are really such that only root or the web server user can read it (preferably get your web server to start as root but run as another server, and have the key readable only by root). As an alternative approach you can use the ``SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/program'' facility. But keep in mind that this is neither more nor less secure, of course. ____________________________ > > _______________________________________________ > 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" > > --------------------------------------------------- > This message and its contents have been scanned and certified for > transmission as being free from malicious code by <>.

The BETAs are much more stable and production-ready than 5.2.1 was, and 5.3-RELEASE is intended to be officially announced as production ready.

One problem that routinely comes up is that the system will seem to be fine in terms of CPU, and none of the top 10 or 15 processes that I see in "top" are using much CPU ... but the load average is very high - sometimes as high as 30 or 40 ... I have good reason to suspect that the load is high due to I/O. I can see the number of processes blocking on I/O in vmstat, and I can see iostat for the entire machine, of course ... BUT HOW do I see on a per process basis which processes are using the most I/O time ? It does not help me to simply see that the system is using a lot of I/O ... I need to know which processes specifically are guilty, and to see them in some kind of ranked order, just like "top" shows me for CPU usage. So what would you recommend ? Is there some way of interpreting "top" to see that, or a way to tell "top" to show me based on I/O instead of CPU ? Any suggestions appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I am running a HP Deskjet 990Cxi on parallel port, with cups and hpijs on FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 - everything updated and portupgraded last thursday. Generally it prints nicely, but far to slow - a simple OpenOffice document needs 3 or 4 minutes, the cups test page about 10. Strange enough I don't see any heavy activities on my CPU or big loads on my RAM. I tried to play around with the configuration, but didn't find anything satisfying. Does anybody have an idea, how I could check what goes wrong with this thing? Or could at least someone confirm that I am not the only person in the world with this problem?

I want to second this wholeheartedly. However, take Robert's advice to heart. I think if you try to learn this stuff without a experimental network to try things out on, you'll either drive yourself mad, or simply fail. If you're serious about doing this, it's worth the $$$ to invest in 4 or 5 used computers to learn on. You really need more than one if you're going to understand how things interact across a network, and you want to have at least 1 computer that you _don't_ experiment with, so it's always reliable to use for email or searching for docs on the 'net. And I agree with Robert, that if you're serious about wanting to do this, you CAN accomplish it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 4 14:29:33 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C07D316A4CF for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 14:29:33 +0000 (GMT) Received: from dsl-mail.kamp.net (mail.kamp-dsl.de [195.62.99.42]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id D6D1443D41 for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 14:29:32 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from root@pukruppa.de) Received: (qmail 22058 invoked by uid 513); 4 Oct 2004 14:37:51 -0000 Received: from root@pukruppa.de by dsl-mail by uid 89 with qmail-scanner-1.21 Clear:RC:1(213.146.114.24):SA:0(-4.9/5.0):.

I just installed freebsd on my laptop yesterday. I have a previous version of windows on there (windows XP Home) as well. I was told by a friend that I would be able to boot between BSD and windows easily, however I seem to be having some problems. I am using that bootloader that BSD recommends you use. My problem is that when I reach the boot screen, and try to boot to DOS (windows), it gives me the following error: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \system32\hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file." And that is about it. I've never formally used BSD before, so I am kind of in the dark on what to do next. I know the logical thing would be to just replace the file, and that is really easy for me to do from DOS, but I am not sure how to go about doing this in BSD.

I graduated with a history degree back in 1994. Through a series of interesting events, a few months after graduation I found myself working as an auto mechanic. A few years after that I found myself working in customer service at a large apparel company. While at this job I created an MS Access database for myself and my small department. This was my first small jump into anything remotedly computer related. Somehow I was able to parlay that experience into a decent paying contract job working with MS Access. While working that contract I realized that networking was an area that interested me more. So, I started getting some certifications and got a job at a "networking" company. Up to this point (a year or two), my experience was only with MS Windows. A friend of mine mentioned to me one day that he had heard about an OS called FreeBSD, which was purported to have one of the best networking stacks around. Because of my interest in networking I installed it. As they say, the rest is history; it has been my OS ever since, both desktop and server. =20 Regarding knowledge, there was a time in the past that I was blown away by a friend of mine who understood how to manually configure an IP address and netmask. This, among many other things, made me feel as if he were some sort of computer genius. However, my feelings about his skills were only relative my own at that time, and I didn't have any other frame of reference. Now that I have been working with computers, and specifically FreeBSD and Linux, for the past five or six years, my knowledge has utterly eclipsed that of my friend. This is the natural course of things. Yet I still feel as if I have only scratched the surface. Many people on this list would probably make me look more like an infant stacking blocks when it comes to FreeBSD. I have got to a level of proficiency and knowledge that I feel can only best proceed through graduate studies in the area of computer science. However, now that I have got to this level, I realize that working with computers in this way isn't what I want to do anymore. This is one of the reasons that I am now a US Peace Corps volunteer in the area of information technology. I was hoping to find an interesting way to use my skills that would provide a different environment to that standard business or corporate one. I'm now looking to go back to graduate school in a field not at all directly related to computer science. I'm 32, and won't be done with my Peace Corps assignment till I'm 33, but this doesn't daunt me. It's just important to move in the direction that interests you most no matter how old you are. FreeBSD will go with me no matter what field I choose, as will the skills I have gained over the past number of years. Virtually any path you might choose will at least be indirectly reliant on computers, and advanced skills in this area will always be useful.=20 The important thing is to keep pushing the limits of your knowledge in whatever you do. You will rarely regret it. Will it take many years to master Unix-like operating systems? Abosolutely. There can be no shortcut to experience. But as another poster pointed out, becoming highly procient in any skilled field takes many years, perhaps a lifetime. Just push forward and absorb as much as you can. Time will fly by, and before you know it you'll occupy that place that only seems like a distant dream at the moment.

However, I seriously doubt if you could change the running kernel to that from the harddisk. Why not just reboot to the harddisk after you have finished your diagnostics with the CDROM?

You could then consult that variable as needed. Check the sshd man page. Here is a snip: Additionally, ssh reads $HOME/.ssh/environment, and adds lines of the format ``VARNAME=3Dvalue'' to the environment if the file exists and if users are allowed to change their environment. See the PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config(5). I doubt that you will be able to find an acceptable resolution to your question regarding Apache logging.

In the past I've often used sysinstall for this purpose, so I decided to try the other method suggested by the handbook. I think I got a little funky with bsdlabel, though.

I hand build PHP because of this reason and also because I want upgrades as soon as they are released and ports usually lags a few days. It is also possible something changed in PHP between the two installs, I'd try a hand compile of PHP without using modules for the functionality you know you want. There is a lot of really good information available about tuning PHP + Apache that can be accessed by searching on google.com.

It's been close to two years since X has been working correctly on his old system. I just upgraded it to a full 256M of SDRAM and added a huge drive. Now am getting ready toput 5.3 on there. xf86config, the shell version, didn't work, and it looks like I messed up on the GUI config. Assistance much appreciated. thanks, gary PS: oh yeah, any opinions on xorg vs xfree86 welcome, too. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 4 18:19:20 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B15BB16A4CE for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 18:19:20 +0000 (GMT) Received: from redtick.homeunix.com (adsl-209-30-229-254.dsl.ksc2mo.swbell.net [209.30.229.254]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3D7CA43D48 for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 18:19:20 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from boxend@redtick.homeunix.com) Received: from redtick.homeunix.com (localhost.homeunix.com [127.0.0.1]) i94IIKqS048995; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 13:18:20 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from boxend@redtick.homeunix.com) Received: (from boxend@localhost) by redtick.homeunix.com (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id i94IIJ0c048994; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 13:18:19 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from boxend) Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 13:18:19 -0500 From: Mark To: Perica Veljanovski Message-ID: <20041004181819.GA48978@redtick.homeunix.com> References: <20041004172756.E079.FREEBSD@euro.net.mk> <20041004153633.GA48326@redtick.homeunix.com> <20041004194144.E07B.FREEBSD@euro.net.mk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20041004194144.E07B.FREEBSD@euro.net.mk> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: problem with php mysql X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 04 Oct 2004 18:19:20 -0000 I assume you did restart the box, I had to, for some reason a killall -HUP mysql, apache, php, did not start the added moduals.

I don't=20 know if the default kernel comes with them turned off. Also, your malloc.conf may not be set up for speed (may have debugging options still). 2) You may want to try a later version of FreeBSD, for example... wait for 5= .3 to come out.

The entries, that are mask, are u::, m:: and o::, so if you have umask 022 (which is default) file's acl mask entry is set to "r".

The malloc debugging options in 5.2.1 really will slow down userland programs which heavily utilize dynamic memory by a significant amount, as will kernel options used for debugging such as WITNESS and INVARIANTS. It's not hard to measure these effects if you bother to try. If you want to test FreeBSD's performance in a meaningful fashion, and you are unwilling to disable the debugging options enabled in 5.x, using 4.10 is good advice. Or wait for 5.3 to finish the current beta testing cycle and be released, and then test that. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 4 19:38:00 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AFC8F16A4CF for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 19:38:00 +0000 (GMT) Received: from obsecurity.dyndns.org (CPE0050040655c8-CM00111ae02aac.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com [69.194.102.143]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7D3C243D49 for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 19:38:00 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from kris@obsecurity.org) Received: by obsecurity.dyndns.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id AA8245150C; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 12:39:07 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 12:39:07 -0700 From: Kris Kennaway To: Josh Hansen Message-ID: <20041004193907.GA94265@xor.obsecurity.org> References: <1096915733.41619b153c86a@webmail.inf.ufrgs.br> <20041004145927.74ad8b47.wmoran@potentialtech.com> <4161A218.6060506@josh.aros.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="MGYHOYXEY6WxJCY8" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <4161A218.6060506@josh.aros.net> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i cc: questions@freebsd.org cc: Bill Moran cc: regi@inf.ufrgs.br Subject: Re: C compiler X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 04 Oct 2004 19:38:00 -0000 --MGYHOYXEY6WxJCY8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Mon, Oct 04, 2004 at 01:18:48PM -0600, Josh Hansen wrote: > Bill Moran wrote: >=20 > >regi@inf.ufrgs.br wrote: > > > >=20 > > > >>Hello, > >> > >>I?ve installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 in my PC machine.

It's hard to give a good answer to a bad question :) In order to accurately diagnose the problem we need a way to repeat it, or at least a full description of what was tried (including source code and details of the benchmark measurements). Otherwise, all we can do is guess what might be going on.

I now also run NetBSD on one of my machines. I'm into FreeBSD for over two years now. It is the only OS I ever got really close to, after using Winblows for four years. Apart from this, I only had a quick look at NetBSD and SuSE Linux. > Through all this, I've developed a passion for this type of OS, seeing the > elegance, performance, and sheer power of Unix.

My question is, what advice would you have for dealing with > this? I developed a few rules and techniques for keeping the interest: 1. Avoid doing the same thing over and over again. 2. Do bigger projects as well as some playful experimenting. 3. Don't use closed-source (or commercial) software. I don't know how you react to it, but the "closed" look and feel really puts me off. 4. If it's running well, don't interrupt it. Unless you feel you're hitting the wall, don't take a break while solving a complex problem. 5. Keep one style for one session. If you're into multiple things that have to do with computers, don't mix them up. Especially don't mix high-level and low-level activities. For example, don't do Javascript programming (or webdesign in general), complex image editing or maybe even 3D modelling on the console with a CLI. On the other hand, don't do ASM programming in a graphical IDE, use vi instead. If you do the dirtiest lowest-level hacks, you may be well advised to even use TECO, or some other editor which is really hard to use. I don't know to which extent these rules apply to you, but they always worked for me. Keep in mind that this is NOT the way to high productivity, but it can help if your interest is fading away. If this doesn't help, there's one more technique that will (if done properly) certainly make UNIX fun again, but it implies a LOT of overhead, and I'm almost sure you don't want to do this unless you have nothing to do for the next few months.

We already had a working mod_php4 built and installed, and just want to add gdlib support. None of the following (as well as other incantations) work in either the www/mod_php4 port nor the lang/php4 port: make deinstall; make reinstall make deinstall; make clean; make install make deinstall; make WITH_GD=YES reinstall make deinstall; make clean; make WITH_GD=YES install Can someone please give me a clue? I thought I remembered that there was a text gui asking what options we want, but it doesn't appear anymore. There seems to be a big gap between simply installing a port with its defaults and finding out what other options might be available via the WITH_* and WITHOUT_* options. Isn't this documented with each port somewhere? Thanks!

I do realize that my first post was out of line and I apologized to Bill off-list. I just thought that: A: With such a lack of important details in the first post, blaming the problem on the FreeBSD version was a bit pre-mature, and B: Even with the speed issues in 5.2.1, 50% is quite a large difference, so I thought it was likely that there was something else going on, but of course, like you said, we would need more information to determine what. Also, the original poster should definitely be using 5.3 instead for this thing. -Josh From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 4 20:43:23 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1356516A4CE for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 20:43:23 +0000 (GMT) Received: from musashi.fi.uba.ar (musashi.fi.uba.ar [157.92.49.7]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 42C4043D3F for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 20:43:21 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from gkullak@fi.uba.ar) Received: from musashi.fi.uba.ar (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by musashi.fi.uba.ar (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i94Iscq2017151 for ; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 15:54:38 -0300 Received: (from apache@localhost) by musashi.fi.uba.ar (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id i94IscLc017149; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 15:54:38 -0300 Received: from 161.190.1.253 (SquirrelMail authenticated user gkullak); by webmail.fi.uba.ar with HTTP; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 15:54:38 -0300 (ART) Message-ID: <43473.161.190.1.253.1096916078.squirrel@161.190.1.253> Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 15:54:38 -0300 (ART) From: gkullak@fi.uba.ar To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org User-Agent: SquirrelMail/1.4.3a-1 X-Mailer: SquirrelMail/1.4.3a-1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Importance: Normal X-FIUBA-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more information X-FIUBA-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-FIUBA-MailScanner-SpamCheck: no es spam (whitelisted), SpamAssassin (puntaje=-3.831, requerido 5, AWL 0.28, BAYES_00 -4.90, NO_REAL_NAME 0.16, RATWR20_MESSID 0.62) X-MailScanner-From: gkullak@fi.uba.ar Subject: IPNAT max static mapping hardcored?

I want to use FreeBSD as an Internet Gateway between a wireless router and a hub for wireless network cards. Does the FreeBSD have applications that support the 802.11g ? What I want is not exactly an access point but a wireless connection between the phone line and the internet gateway seperated by a wall. What about bluetooth? I have seen a package (if I remember it's name was Fritz) but I don't know if it has drivers for FreeBSD. Yours sincerely, Petros.

Note that defrag doesnt necessarily move _all_ files down to the low end of the disk. I had to scour the net for other tools to finally get EVERYTHING packed down low on the disk. Then and only then can you safely repartition the disk without destroying some semi-essential chunk on something that windows thinks it needs. mjt On Tue, 2004-10-05 at 02:17, Eric Schuele wrote: > On Monday 04 October 2004 11:03 am, Andy Scheriff wrote: > > Hi. > > > > I just installed freebsd on my laptop yesterday.

How do you copy an alternate superblock on a SCSI hard drive to replace the main superblock? Mine got corrupted. I did this routine once before on an IDE drive and it worked great. But on SCSI, I understand less of how the drive works, so I don't know whether to use fsck or camcontrol or what. Any pointers to info on the web or FreeBSD site would be helpful too. I have read the manual material on SCSI drive related commands, but I am very confused. My drives are later model SCSI-160 types, with an Adaptec 29160 controller board. The drive is using UFS2 and UFS, as this is an AMD64 box, and I have a FreeBSD 5.3beta 32bit partition in there too. Cable is properly terminated and I'm using new low profile round SCSI cables. I don't know what I did to cause this. Thanks for anyone who can help.

Thanks to haaving used SuSE in 2000, its probe got the initial video card stuff and an XF86Config listing:: VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC" VideoRam 4096 According to the E-Machine's people, the built-in vidio chip can run at 1280x1024; I never tried it higher that 1024x768. It's a 500MHz P-II with 70GB disc, 256MB memory, and some cheesy sound card. E-Machines is pretty well known so I prob'ly don't have to exlain anything there. We (an EE buddy) put in two new fans and a new PS; I figure it's good for ahnother 4 or 5 years. I'd just like to have a working X config file. Right now, "startx" works; but "xdm" bring up a bare-bones mono-chrome window, and after I type in my name/passwd, xdm quits and repawns. The /etc/X11/ directory has several misc files that might be interfering with xdm, but I don't understand how. (I don't find anything interesting in /tmp/.*) I can use the box via my KVM switch, but intend to use this for further driver testing and so want the xdm "xlogin" to work.

You can feed fsck the -b 32 (or some other superblock) option to clean the filesystem using an alternate superblock. If possible, you want to try to do a SCSI "REASsign Block" command ("reasb") to use any available spare sectors to replace the bad one. It's possible that one of the following might be helpful: /usr/ports/sysutils/sformat /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools I suggest running a long self-test and checking the SMART status on the drive.

There is an excellent hint for compiler flags to be found in the 19.4.3 section of the FreeBSD handbook. The /usr/obj directory composes of the compiled applications from the buildworld function. You can delete it after you did a successful completion of the installworld on a system. That's what happens when you do "make clean" in the /usr/src directory. =20 >=20 > -Mano > -- Chris Haulmark System Admin.

I would like to have it completely automated: The machine goes down at 4am for the check and boots to cd, then the cd controls the hand-off to the hard drive. I'd like to have the BIOS setup to only boot the cd and if the HD checks out ok, boot up the HD. That way there is a slim chance that any security breach will last beyond one night on my machine. I seriously doubt a security breach will occur, but I want to close every door imaginable. Anything else that could be done?

I can ping within the +network to my hearts content, and if pinging my router and other computers was +entertaining for more than five seconds, I'd be dandy. I have tried setting +static IP's, I've tried manually adding the route's needed into the routing +table, but NOTHING thus far has allowed be get outside the network. I contacte d my cable company, who dutifully reported to me that they have no idea what +FreeBSD is, anything other than Windows or Mac, and they are useless. In any +event, I hope that some help can be provided in this matter. Everything else +with FreeBSD works wonderfully, but for some reason, it simply will not allow +me access the internet. Just to clarify, the PCcard is being recognized by +FreeBSD, I added it in, it works fine. I have configured rc.conf to include a +pccard_ifconfig (currently it's set to DHCP, which seems to be setting the +appropriate ip address). Any help that could be offered would be most +appreciated. -- Andrew Robinson Ph: 208 885 7115 Department of Forest Resources Fa: 208 885 6226 University of Idaho E : andrewr@uidaho.edu PO Box 441133 W : http://www.uidaho.edu/~andrewr Moscow ID 83843 Or: http://www.biometrics.uidaho.edu No statement above necessarily represents my employer's opinion.

You could try giving the nfsd processes more priority as root with rtprio. If the file /var/run/nfsd.pid exist then you could try something like: rtprio 10 -`cat /var/run/nfds.pid`. You could also try giving the other porcesses less priority like nice -n 2 rsync.

I think you're problem is not that you disk is used havely but that you're NIC (rsync kinda does that) is. The warnings you get indicate that you're computer can't get a responce from you're server. It acts normaly as soon as it can.

GTK? X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 06:41:34 -0000 I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1. I installed it about a week ago, and installed X.org 6.7.0 with KDE 3.3 from the most recent cvs versions at the time. The same was done for GTK (2.4.9), Firefox (0.9.3), aMule (1.2.8), and Gaim (0.82.1). Firefox and aMule both seem to have major problems with GUI interaction, while Gaim does not, so I'm not sure if it's a GTK problems specifically. Firefox will sometimes hang slightly, not allowing my to type into textboxes, such as the URL box, or in forms. It usually hangs for about 1-2 seconds, then allows interaction again. Often I can type, but text doesn't show up for 1-2 seconds as well. aMule performs similarly, though a bit more extreme. Restoring the window from minimization causes it to appear blank for 3-5 seconds, then appear. Sometimes at this point I can interact with the window immediately, though typically I then experience a delay in clicking buttons, moving sliding, resizing listviews, etc. The delay will be in effect for any given amount of time, then it will suddenly work fine again. At this point I have no clue how to fix this problem. I have yet to experience it in any other applications, though previous to installing FreeBSD this most recent time, I had installed it about 2 weeks prior (I had to reinstall due to some problems I encountered), and experienced the same problem. I would appreciate help that anybody would have to offer. Thanks, Travis Troyer _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

This seems to be the correct answer! cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions make WITH_GD=yes WITH_GETTEXT=yes install does the trick! Or one can leave off the WITH_* vars and select them in the text gui. Life would be so much easier if the php4 make and pkg-descr would mention where to look for extentions. How is someone supposed to know this exists (without monitoring all freebsd mailing lists)?

There were lots of mailing list references to using WITH_GD, but I couldn't find it in the Makefile. Sometimes these are hiding in an included makefile somewhere outside of the port itself. But now I know it was moved to lang/php4-extentions sometime since we originally built php4! > > Can someone please give me a clue?

The gui was hiding in the lang/php4-extentions port. Yes g stands for graphical, which is why it is a "text gui". The curses based line drawing and shading is a "text" based form of graphics. Graphics does not imply bitmapped. Draw a box with a pencil and you have graphics. :) Cheers, Ray From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 06:49:42 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E357E16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 06:49:42 +0000 (GMT) Received: from relay.pixi.com (relay.pixi.com [206.127.224.101]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AEE4843D49 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 06:49:42 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from knowtree@aloha.com) Received: from carter.pixi.com ([206.127.224.102]:4325 "EHLO carter.pixi.com") by relay.pixi.com with ESMTP id S10379AbUJEGtm (ORCPT ); Mon, 4 Oct 2004 20:49:42 -1000 Received: from Internal (206.127.224.85) by carter with SMTP; Tue, 05 Oct 2004 06:49:46 GMT X-Titankey-e_id: <941ff045-9b8f-4840-b0d0-b4736aea3620> Received: from vaiosr7k.ozland (atm-251-63.pixi.com [206.127.251.63]) by koa.aloha.com (8.12.10/8.12.2) with ESMTP id i956mMBH006787; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 20:48:23 -1000 (HST) From: Gary Dunn To: Anton Alin-Adrian In-Reply-To: <415F3968.7040508@spintech.ro> References: <415DFD6B.8050607@spintech.ro> <1096679083.97192.1.camel@shumai.marcuscom.com> <415EB039.7000704@spintech.ro> <415F2D62.8090809@spintech.ro> <415F3968.7040508@spintech.ro> Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Evolution/0.13 (Preview Release) Date: 04 Oct 2004 20:38:05 -1000 Message-Id: <1096958287.9501.6.camel@vaiosr7k.ozland> Mime-Version: 1.0 cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: gnome 2.8 mime associations X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 06:49:43 -0000 On Sat, 2004-10-02 at 13:27, Anton Alin-Adrian wrote: > Anton Alin-Adrian wrote: > > Ok, here is a snapshot.

Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear = ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment = out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically = compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command "php -m". This is why it is always recommended for all FreeBSD users to monitor = the /usr/ports/UPDATING after they do cvsup of their ports system.

Perhaps you do. Any idea? thanks. They will. I have escaped them by prefixing a \ symbol before them. I suggest after this post you change the password.

Well, porting it is way beyond my abilities, so yes, if it is not too much trouble, that would be great. Alternatively, is there any other way to get this information in 4.x - perhaps without top, etc. ? thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I can almost agree with what's written above, except for one minor but important detail. If you can use an editor that suits your needs both in console and GUI environment, both for assembly, Perl, Python, Java, C, C++ and whatever else you find yourself writing, an editor that can easily be adopted to editing plain text email messages, theses in LaTeX, or even to browse the source code of an operating system... why would you want to torture yourself with a strange, difficult to use editor? All this that I described above, and even more, I can do in Emacs or vim. Using the system vi(1) on Solaris isn't a problem either, but I don't push myself to use *THAT* editor if I don't have to. I stopped using vi(1) on Solaris when messages like this became annoying: sun2# stty columns 190 sun2# \vi Terminal too wide : These days my $EDITOR equals 'emacs' and all is done using exactly the same interface, using the same keystrokes, the same macros and configuration options (as opposed to, say, having to learn a dozen different editors, one for each language and/or job). - Giorgos From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 09:09:53 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7488C16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 09:09:53 +0000 (GMT) Received: from rosebud.otenet.gr (rosebud.otenet.gr [195.170.0.26]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A19B243D49 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 09:09:52 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Received: from orion.daedalusnetworks.priv (host5.bedc.ondsl.gr [62.103.39.229])i9599prL032517; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:09:51 +0300 Received: from orion.daedalusnetworks.priv (orion [127.0.0.1]) i9599ogS023574; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:09:50 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Received: (from keramida@localhost)i9599odQ023567; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:09:50 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:09:50 +0300 From: Giorgos Keramidas To: Joe Schmoe Message-ID: <20041005090950.GA19029@orion.daedalusnetworks.priv> References: <20041005084105.GA1837@orion.daedalusnetworks.priv> <20041005084501.73217.qmail@web53307.mail.yahoo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20041005084501.73217.qmail@web53307.mail.yahoo.com> cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: tracking per process IO usage / stats ... help needed..

Not sure if you can get statistics per process. `systat -vmstat' is a nice way of getting some bits of information, but AFAICT they're system-wide -- not per process.

So, here's my story. I have a PIII 950MHz box with 128MB RAM. I have Windows98 on it and right now I'm turning it to dual boot with FreeBSD 4.7-Release being the second o.s. The installation itself went easy but setting up the X server has been terrible. Am I the only person who thinks this is a very tiresome and user-unfriendly procedure? Anyway, after downloading my monitor's technical specifications, studying about installing the X etc. I managed to get the X running. Almost! My mouse won't work properly. I have a very ordinary PS/2, 3-buttons mouse but I have tried others, too (one with 2 buttons, one with a scroll button). Nothing seems to work. The pointer sticks to the right upper corner and just goes nuts with continuous clicks. For the X server configuration I use xf86config (even though, I gave the graphical tool a chance, too). I choose /dev/sysmouse as my mouse device and I've tried different protocols like PS/2, Microsoft compatible, Mouse Systems (3-button protocol) etc. Nothing works :~( So, what am I doing so wrong? I'd appreciate any help.

I think for a lot of people, myself included the choice of editor often comes down to the KISS principle, all I really need from an editor is a means of putting data in and changing it around in a comfortable manner, I tend to spend most of my time using easy edit (default editor if you didnt know) quite often even while in X although I also use gedit, it has all the functionality i need and syntax highlighting to boot which makes it handy for perl work but since i do a lot of my editng over ssh sessions it doesnt get used that often :) -------------- Mike Woods IT Technician From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 09:41:49 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9C56A16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 09:41:49 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk (smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk [81.2.69.218]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 56DD943D62 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 09:41:48 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk) Received: from happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk (localhost [IPv6:::1]) i959fh2k011172 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO) for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 10:41:43 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from matthew@happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk) Received: (from matthew@localhost)i959fhj1011171 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 10:41:43 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from matthew) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 10:41:43 +0100 From: Matthew Seaman To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20041005094143.GB9642@happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk> Mail-Followup-To: Matthew Seaman , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <20041004222645.GW3633@gentoo-npk.bmp.ub> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="3uo+9/B/ebqu+fSQ" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20041004222645.GW3633@gentoo-npk.bmp.ub> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-1.5.6 (smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk [IPv6:::1]); Tue, 05 Oct 2004 10:41:43 +0100 (BST) X-Virus-Scanned: clamd / ClamAV version devel-20040904, clamav-milter version 0.75l on smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-4.8 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=2.64 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.64 (2004-01-11) on happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk Subject: Re: netstat 'Ierrs' - meaning and possible causes X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 09:41:49 -0000 --3uo+9/B/ebqu+fSQ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Mon, Oct 04, 2004 at 04:26:45PM -0600, Nathan Kinkade wrote: > What possible type of errors comprise 'Ierrs'?

Yes -- this sort of error rate is almost always going to be bad hardware, given that you're on an ethernet network. (Things may be different for wireless). Since it's only affecting the receive side of one network card, it may well be just that the network cable has been kinked or that there's a bad spot in one of the conductors. It can even be simply that some RJ45 plugs aren't pushed into their sockets quite right. Generally that results in signals being reflected off the fault and so interfering with themselves. Try swapping in a new network cable -- at least it's fairly cheap if that is the case. Other causes can be broken network card on the PC, broken port on your switch. I should be pretty easy to diagnose by swapping cards in and out and so forth.

'make release' is aimed at expert users; beginners would be well advised to steer clear of it. What you do is edit the /usr/src/release/Makefile, specifically the CHROOTDIR, BUILDNAME and CVSROOT it tells you to set. Or specify them on the command line if you prefer. Then you setup the ${LOCAL_PATCHES} variable to point to a file of patches to apply to the checked out chroot'ed source tree (hint: try applying a patch to ${CHROOTDIR}/etc/make.conf to fiddle with the make flags). Similarly you can run a shell script ${LOCAL_SCRIPT} to do whatever you want to the chroot'ed sources before building.

Trying to use sdiff(1) on Solaris. Where you want your terminal to be as wide as possible so you can display the files you're diffing side by side, but you can't use emacs(1) as your $EDITOR because the way it shuffles around copies of the files to keep a backup version confuses sdiff(1). Better hope that the stuff you're diffing is less that 66 columns wide, so you can fit it in the maximum 132 columns that Solaris vi permits.

I'm running Vinum on a 4.9 system with 3 drives. The first drive is a = small one and I boot from it. The second and third drive are mirrored, using = Vinum, and contain most of the system's data (1 volume, 1 plex per drive, 1 = subdisk per plex). The system locked up on me this morning. When I rebooted there was a = problem with the Vinum mirrored drives. When I did a "list" from Vinum both = subdisks were "stale" and both plexes were "faulty". After playing around a while, I didn't know what to do, so I stupidly = tried something which probably made things worse. I did a "start" on one of = the plexes. It took a few minutes and then came up along with the subdisk = on it. But I'm afraid that it seems to be empty. When I boot now I get a "bad super block: magic number wrong" error, = along with "unexpected soft update inconsistency", "/dev/vinum/mirror: cannot = figure out file system partition". Vinum now lists the drives as "up", the volume as "up", the plexes as = "up" and "faulty", the subdisks as "up" and "stale". I'm guessing that I blew away the first plex. Is there any way to get = the second plex up and running, and to restore the first plex from it? Thanks!

Someone smarter than me may correct me, but I believe the nfs client keeps track of how quickly the NFS server responds, and uses it to judge whether the server is still working or not. Any time the server's response time varies too much from that amount, the client will assume the server is down, but if the server is not down, you'll see the "is alive" message immediately after. Basically, during normal usage, the server is responding very quickly, so the client assumes it will always respond that fast. Then, under heavy load, the slower response makes the client a little paranoid. I've seen this when running NFS over WiFi, where the ping times are usually not consistent. One thing is to just ignore the messages and accept that this is a natural side effect of high loads. Another would be to use TCP mounts instead of UDP mounts, which don't have this trouble. What kind of network topology is between the two machines? Do you notice a high load on the hub/switch/routers during these activities? You may be able to improve the intervening network topology to improve the problem as well. > > > > in /var/log/messages ... > > > > I'm running nfsd with the standard flags: > > > > nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 4" > > > > Is there something that I can do to reduce this problem? increase number > > of nfsd processes? force a tcp connection? > > You could try giving the nfsd processes more priority as root with > rtprio.

Might help. I would look at networking before I looked at disk usage ... are there dropped packets and the like.

Well, you didn't provide your config file, and I'm not psychic, so I can't be sure, but here are a few guesses based on common mistakes. 1) If you use /dev/sysmouse, you need to be running the mouse daemon. If you can use the mouse in a text console, then moused is running. If not, rerun sysinstall (or edit rc.conf) to enable it. 2) Have you tried the "Auto" protocol? You can manually edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and make the protocol line: Option "Protocol" "Auto" HTH -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 13:06:06 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1A4FA16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 13:06:05 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mproxy.gmail.com (mproxy.gmail.com [216.239.56.245]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D3C7543D46 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 13:06:05 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from aenslad.mackenzie@gmail.com) Received: by mproxy.gmail.com with SMTP id w41so431767cwb for ; Tue, 05 Oct 2004 06:06:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.11.118.66 with SMTP id q66mr410071cwc; Tue, 05 Oct 2004 06:06:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.11.116.36 with HTTP; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 06:06:05 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <956dc51a0410050606ac45514@mail.gmail.com> Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 21:06:05 +0800 From: Marcus Meng To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Downloading FreeBSD X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Marcus Meng List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 13:06:06 -0000 Has anyone ever considered setting up a bittorrent tracker for FreeBSD distributions?

Once you save the *.mc file, do this to build a proper sendmail.cf, update all your database configs, install and restart sendmail: cd /etc/mail make all install restart This should take only about 3 seconds and will give you console feedback so watch for any errors in syntax. Then: tail /var/log/maillog So you can verify that everything started up properly. Please note that I use 5.x (but same version of sendmail as you) so it is possible that the exact steps I outline above will be slightly different on a 4.x system (sorry but I don't know for sure -- been so long since I used 4.x). You can always check the Makefile in /etc/mail to verify this. The basic point is that you merely need to update your *.mc, rebuild it into a proper *.cf, install and restart sendmail.

Those who chose to do CVSup and download ISOs from the FTP server may see an indirect gain in speed as the bandwidth load (from those downloading ISO's) would distributed to the people who wish to help seed the torrent. It would obviously be a bigger help around the time when new versions come out and the servers are being hammered. I'm not sure if that explanation was clear or not but it seems obvious to me what the bonuses would be.

FreeBSD 5.x may use a different scheduler as an alternative with better behaviour concerning multi-threaded processes, but I don't know the details.

[1] However since all lines in that file are commented out it doesn't actually set any defaults (unlike e.g. /etc/defaults/rc.conf which actually sets default values for many variables.) However one has never (or at least not for a very long time) been supposed to modify /etc/defaults/make.conf, but any local modifications are supposed to go into /etc/make.conf which means that it made more sense to move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf since it was just documentation of what variables one could set in /etc/make.conf.

For that, you should use the most wonderful sockstat(1). Running something like this should show you the "Address already in use" culprit: 'sockstat -4 | egrep ":143\W"' > So. What could be wrong here? Exactly what the error message says: the address is already in use.

For infromation on supported printers, I suggest looking at http://www.linuxprinting.org/. Canons multifunction devices are not recommended. Not only do they not support Unix, they also don't support MacOS. HP actually provides linux support for their products.

Reading from the file system will not be affected by either. "async" can be dangerous, yes. If the computer crashes, or is otherwise not properly shutdown, then you risk losing a *lot* of data from an async filesystem, as well as risking leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state. "async" should only be used for filesystems where both the following holds true: 1) The system makes a lot of writes to the filesystem. (Otherwise there is very little performance gain to be obtained from "async".) 2) Losing all the data on the filesystem is not a big problem. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 14:47:31 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9DCA516A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 14:47:31 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp2.nblnetworks.fi (smtp2.nblnetworks.fi [217.30.182.231]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5381943D5D for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 14:47:28 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from pepe@kahvipannu.com) Received: from ssl.nebula.fi (webmail.nebula.fi [217.30.180.120]) by smtp2.nblnetworks.fi (8.12.8/8.12.8) with SMTP id i95ElPAq024954 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 17:47:25 +0300 Received: from 62.183.166.174 (SquirrelMail authenticated user kahvi1) by ssl.nebula.fi with HTTP; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 17:47:25 +0300 (EEST) Message-ID: <1454.62.183.166.174.1096987645.squirrel@ssl.nebula.fi> Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 17:47:25 +0300 (EEST) From: "Perttu Laine" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org User-Agent: SquirrelMail/1.4.2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 Importance: Normal Subject: Re: imapd problem.

Async greatly increases the possiblity that a hard crash (i.e. power outage) will corrupt the disk such that it will be impossible to repair the filesystem, or that data will be corrupted or lost. If you have perfect power, and you can be 100% sure that your system will never hard boot, then there is no danger in async. Softupdates has 90% of the performance of async, with 90% of the safety of sync. This is why you won't see a big performance improvement unless you specifically test for it. Since softupdates is so fast, I can see only a few edge cases where it makes sense to use async. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 14:51:17 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4D78A16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 14:51:17 +0000 (GMT) Received: from sccrmhc11.comcast.net (sccrmhc11.comcast.net [204.127.202.55]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E827A43D49 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 14:51:16 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from apeiron@comcast.net) Received: from prophecy.dyndns.org ([68.83.169.224]) by comcast.net (sccrmhc11) with SMTP id <2004100514510501100k2pise> (Authid: apeiron); Tue, 5 Oct 2004 14:51:16 +0000 From: Christopher Nehren To: Perttu Laine In-Reply-To: <1450.62.183.166.174.1096987234.squirrel@ssl.nebula.fi> References: <4759.62.183.166.174.1096955953.squirrel@ssl.nebula.fi> <1096986652.1096.48.camel@prophecy.dyndns.org> <1450.62.183.166.174.1096987234.squirrel@ssl.nebula.fi> Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="=-TlOO3DQL5CQzph7INSOR" Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 10:51:03 -0400 Message-Id: <1096987863.1096.56.camel@prophecy.dyndns.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.0.0FreeBSD GNOME Team Port cc: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: Re: imapd problem.

Something running under the name of 'inetd' is binding to port 143 on all inet4 addresses. Either that, or there's a bug in sockstat or the kernel structures that it manipulates, though I've not seen mention of that anywhere.

Well ... that's just weird. I guess the same problem could apply: if the loopback slows down when the kernel is loaded, it could cause the same effect. Have you tried forcing TCP mounts?

Please don't use top-posting :-/ Especially when part of the thread is already using bottom-posting. I'm asking because I don't know: a) What a bittorrent tracker is. b) What it takes to install and set up one. c) Why would I prefer it over FTP/CVSup? Your reply to c) seems to be "to save bandwidth".

Not very, but I've seen BitTorrent being mentioned quite a few times in the past. I'm asking what it is, why one would use it, how it would be set up in order to learn more about BitTorrent.

[Please wrap you lines around 72 chars: see http://www.lemis.com/questions.html ] I don't have a guess as to the specific problem. I assume you've checked to see where your web server is logging to, and ensured that you're managing it. When I have problems like this, I start with: du -hd1 /usr Then I look at directory sizes, and possibly narrow it down more: du -hd1 /usr/local ... etc. ... until I've located the large files on the filesystem. I can then usually determine what is causing those large files. If I had to make a guess ... I would suspect that something is logging to /usr somewhere, without you realizing it.

The dependencies for many ports are different between 4.x and 5.x, which is why there are two different INDEX files generated. The different depencies are mostly due to: - the standard system compiler being gcc-3.4.x in FreeBSD-5.x and gcc-2.95.4 under FreeBSD-4.x: gcc-3.4.x is much stricter about C++ syntax and not entirely code compatible with gcc-2.95.4, so there's quite a few ports that depend on installing one of the gcc ports in order to compile under 4.x - changes in the threading support between 4.x and 5.x - various ports that only work under 5.x or that only work under 4.x, usually related to one or both of the previous points Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --b5gNqxB1S1yM7hjW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBYr3fiD657aJF7eIRAs1cAJ4rlTDApne/tlloU7G5a/0U1WcQRQCeMRGN +kCCAg02fuXH16Id0Omwb/Q= =SBT6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --b5gNqxB1S1yM7hjW-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 15:32:59 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C499716A4CE; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:32:59 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtpout.mac.com (smtpout.mac.com [17.250.248.84]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B2AEB43D3F; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:32:59 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from pgiessel@mac.com) Received: from mac.com (webmail24-en1 [10.13.10.124]) by smtpout.mac.com (8.12.6/MantshX 2.0) with ESMTP id i95FWoMU021991; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 08:32:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from webmail24 (localhost.mac.com [127.0.0.1]) i95FWonX021579; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 08:32:50 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <4933771.1096990370102.JavaMail.pgiessel@mac.com> Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 08:32:50 -0700 From: Peter Giessel To: ALeine in-reply-to: <200410050100.i9510oHE033877@marlena.vvi.at> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit references: <200410050100.i9510oHE033877@marlena.vvi.at> X-Originating-IP: 158.145.111.132/instID=116 cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Multifunction printer/scanner/copier recommendation needed X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 15:32:59 -0000 On Tuesday, October 05, 2004, at 00:51AM, ALeine wrote: >Hello, > >I'm shopping for a new printer and I want to get a multifunction >printer/scanner/copier that is proven to work well under FreeBSD >for both printing and scanning. > >The Canon MP360 looks like a good choice for my needs in terms of >quality and price range, so if you have any experience using this >or some other device along those lines under FreeBSD please let me >know, any feedback will be greatly appreciated. We just got an Canon imageRUNNER C3200 at work and have been severely disappointed by the color print speed. On average, it takes about two minutes to process each page. Our old Xerox Phaser 860N is much faster. On the other hand, it does have CUPS support and can scan to an ftp server (FreeBSD 5.2.1 here), and the scans (scan to PDF) are clear and compact. However, we mainly got it to do black and white copying and color printing, so the abysmal color print processing speed is problematic at best.

Bittorrent is a type of p2p protocol: http://bittorrent.com/introduction.html Bittorrent would take the pressure off the servers as those who use it would effectively be getting the isos from those that already have them on their own boxes, in short it cuts the servers out of the picture therefore reducing congestion. It's in ports. I use: /usr/ports/net/py-bittornado home page: http://bittornado.com/ When you seed a torrent, you make your file, whether it is an iso, text etc available to the bittorrent community. Most bittorrent clients will do this for you. If you do not seed a torrent. it will not be available to the bittorrent comunity even though the isos are on your machine. Other p2p networks don't require this tagging and so any files that you wish to share are available to the p2p users. The reduction in pressure on the servers would hold true for any of the p2p networks I have the 5.2.1. isos on my box, and accessible to the peer networks, but as yet have never noticed anyone downloading them. Once I move to 5.3 I could seed it and we can see whether it is picked up. I don't think there is any real reason to seed 5.2.1. .nbco From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 15:49:32 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0788216A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:49:32 +0000 (GMT) Received: from ganymede.hub.org (blk-222-46-91.eastlink.ca [24.222.46.91]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA5C243D39 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:49:31 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from scrappy@hub.org) Received: by ganymede.hub.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 526373A170; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:49:31 -0300 (ADT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ganymede.hub.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4E90537F2B; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:49:31 -0300 (ADT) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:49:31 -0300 (ADT) From: "Marc G.

Are you sure that there isn't a way to run your checks while booted to the harddisk? I am fairly sure that you will never find a way to have the BIOS selectively boot either the CDROM or the HD based on some OS specific factor, such as a successful check of the HD. I have a feeling that there may be a better way to accomplish your goal without a reboot to CDROM every morning. Will you tell the list more about what you are trying to accompish?

Any check in the running OS could be compromised, which the poster wants to avoid. Also, the BIOS will not be selectively booting to CD or HD, it will only boot to the CD. The CD-based check of the HD will be booting the disk if it checks out okay.

Thanks :) I'm glad the information is helpful. I want to point out that FreeBSD's very own Tom Rhodes led a FreeBSD BOF discussion after lunch that was well attended and well received. So consider heading out to Ohio Linuxfest next year if you can make it, as there seemed to be a pretty strong BSD showing. http://www.ohiolinux.org -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 16:50:08 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5A7D716A4CF for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 16:50:08 +0000 (GMT) Received: from tarc.po.cs.msu.su (tarc.po.cs.msu.su [158.250.16.33]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7EA1A43D46 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 16:50:07 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from root@tarc.po.cs.msu.su) Received: from tarc.po.cs.msu.su (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by tarc.po.cs.msu.su (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id i95Ko0N6040915 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 20:50:00 GMT (envelope-from root@tarc.po.cs.msu.su) Received: (from root@localhost) by tarc.po.cs.msu.su (8.13.1/8.13.1/Submit) id i95Ko0la040914 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 20:50:00 GMT (envelope-from root) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 20:50:00 +0000 From: Tarc To: freebsd-questions Message-ID: <20041005205000.GA40906@tarc.po.cs.msu.su> References: <20041005183857.GA40447@tarc.po.cs.msu.su> <20041005152935.GB69207@happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20041005152935.GB69207@happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6i Subject: E-mail X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 16:50:08 -0000 Sorry for my e-mail address, I have very few time to configure my mutt :-( Please, chenge the address "root@tarc.po.cs.msu.su" to "tarc@po.cs.msu.su" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 17:01:07 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0693E16A4CE; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 17:01:07 +0000 (GMT) Received: from odin.ac.hmc.edu (Odin.AC.HMC.Edu [134.173.32.75]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D6BEA43D1D; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 17:01:06 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from brdavis@odin.ac.hmc.edu) Received: from odin.ac.hmc.edu (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by odin.ac.hmc.edu (8.13.0/8.13.0) with ESMTP id i95H630N026635; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 10:06:03 -0700 Received: (from brdavis@localhost) by odin.ac.hmc.edu (8.13.0/8.13.0/Submit) id i95H634Q026634; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 10:06:03 -0700 Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 10:06:03 -0700 From: Brooks Davis To: Peter Giessel Message-ID: <20041005170603.GD2520@odin.ac.hmc.edu> References: <200410050100.i9510oHE033877@marlena.vvi.at> <4933771.1096990370102.JavaMail.pgiessel@mac.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="mSxgbZZZvrAyzONB" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <4933771.1096990370102.JavaMail.pgiessel@mac.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=8.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.63 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on odin.ac.hmc.edu cc: ALeine cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Multifunction printer/scanner/copier recommendation needed X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 17:01:07 -0000 --mSxgbZZZvrAyzONB Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Tue, Oct 05, 2004 at 08:32:50AM -0700, Peter Giessel wrote: > On Tuesday, October 05, 2004, at 00:51AM, ALeine wrote: >=20 > >Hello, > > > >I'm shopping for a new printer and I want to get a multifunction > >printer/scanner/copier that is proven to work well under FreeBSD > >for both printing and scanning. > > > >The Canon MP360 looks like a good choice for my needs in terms of > >quality and price range, so if you have any experience using this > >or some other device along those lines under FreeBSD please let me > >know, any feedback will be greatly appreciated. >=20 > We just got an Canon imageRUNNER C3200 at work and have been > severely disappointed by the color print speed.

Just so no one gets screwed, the Cacon multifunction devices are entierly different beasts from the regular printers. I can't find the refrence at the moment, but I looked at them when I was shopping for a new multifunction printer and they were rated as paperweights. :-( -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

It is certainly a good thing to think about how one can mitigate the actions of a cracker after they have already got into the system. However, it seems like a better initial approach to focus on keeping crackers out in the first place, thereby obviating the need to go to extreme measures to avoid alterations to a file on the disk. As was already suggested, I would focus on keeping people out, and then use tools such securelevels, read-only mounted files systems and the like to help protect the system should someone happen to get in. Regarding booting to the CDROM or HD, I'm not sure I understand the difference between what you are saying and what I said in my previous reply. How can the CDROM "boot" the machine to the HD? If the machine reboots the BIOS will take control and boot the machine according to it's device priority. If there is a bootable CD in the CDROM device, and the BIOS is set to boot to the CDROM first, how can the machine be made to boot the HD prior to the CDROM? The only possible way I can think of would be to have the CDROM booted OS eject the CDROM tray before reboot, then have the HD booted OS close the CDROM tray again.

I also have a BSD box (work) with a static IP sitting on my university's network. Is there a way to open a ssh/other connection before I leave for work in the morning (from the home box to the work box), then travel to the university, sit at my desk and use this connection to get a terminal on my home machine? Is there any software out there that addresses this? Ideally it would involve ssh.

I know it is possible, because if you boot off of the SuSE 9.1 Installation CD, it has an option to boot to the HD, and it does work.

For instance, if I have two 5.x servers, and want to replicate serverA:/fs1 -> serverB:/fs1, from what I can tell, I setup/startup ggated on serverA, and serverB is setup with ggatec to "pull" that data across ... correct? Now, how do you get serverB:/fs1 in sync with serverA:/fs1 in the first place? Is there an 'initialize' function that will have ggatec pull everything across? ---- Marc G.

I'm using Cyrus IMAPD as IMAP backend for my Horde/IMP installation. Cyrus has its own userbase so you don't need to create UNIX users for all the mail users. I guess that's what vm-pop3d means by 'virtual mailboxes'. It's been working mostly fine since 2001. Only thing to watch out for is upgrades of the db3 package if you use sasldb authentication (one of many possible authentication methods in Cyrus). I've been bitten a couple of times when db3 got portupgraded as a dependency of 'something' and Cyrus was unable to read it's authentication database which was created with previous version of db3. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * RUNTIME ERROR 6D at 417A:32CF : Incompetent user From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 18:24:10 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5F35D16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 18:24:10 +0000 (GMT) Received: from fw.farid-hajji.net (fw.farid-hajji.net [213.146.115.42]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CF87E43D53 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 18:24:09 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from cpghost@cordula.ws) Received: from bsdbox.farid-hajji.net (bsdbox [192.168.254.3]) by fw.farid-hajji.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id A0A7A4B10E; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 20:24:01 +0200 (CEST) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 20:24:20 +0200 From: cpghost@cordula.ws To: Rafa Teixeira Message-ID: <20041005182420.GA54144@bsdbox.farid-hajji.net> References: <1838.201.0.146.98.1096984767.squirrel@popmail1.pop.com.br> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <1838.201.0.146.98.1096984767.squirrel@popmail1.pop.com.br> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6i cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: FreeBSD schedulers (was: Re: FreeBSD) X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 18:24:10 -0000 On Tue, Oct 05, 2004 at 10:59:27AM -0300, Rafa Teixeira wrote: > I'm from Brasil and I would like to know what kind of scheduling > FreeBSD uses. Hi Rafa, you may want to read Chapter 4 (Process Management), pages 99-108 of: The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System Marshall Kirk McKusick, George V.

I'm really glad that I never got in touch with Slowlaris. IMHO there's just nothing like vi on FreeBSD, the best editor running on the best OS. Well, I already said that these are NOT rules for increased productivity. If emacs works well for you, then use it. If your interest is not fading, then you're already doing everything the right way. But for some people, including me, programming can quickly become work rather than fun. The above rules always helped to keep me interested. A little torture can be fun too. *g* Of course, I don't always do that. But when I feel that I like watching TV more than playing with ASM, I quickly switch to the monochrome terminal emulator, deactivate the mouse, emulate the destructive hardware cursor, pull out a primitive hexeditor (or TECO) and enter raw x86 opcodes. When I'm in a particularly bad mood, I might also pull out the Commodore64 emulator. On the other hand, I can also create beautiful and complex 3D scenes in a full-blown GUI with really high-level features, which is also fun.

If you portupgrade (or use any other system) to upgrade to a newer version of Apache, data-dist will be overwritten with the new documentation that comes with the new version of Apache. data will not be touched. As a result, if you left data as a symlink to data-dist, it still works and shows you the most updated documentation.

Not if they're well done ports. Most web apps, when installed from the ports, do not install in that data directory. Instead, they are installed in /usr/local/www/, and the necessary configurations are put in place to make them accessible. (usually Apache-based symlinks ... I forget what the directive in Apache is called). Anyway, this protects the data you generate in the same way. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 19:43:28 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CB1A116A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 19:43:28 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail1.panix.com (mail1.panix.com [166.84.1.72]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8CC3543D1F for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 19:43:28 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from stanb@panix.com) Received: from brillig.panix.com (brillig.panix.com [166.84.1.76]) by mail1.panix.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75BF248796 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:43:24 -0400 (EDT) Received: from teddy.fas.com (pcp01011056pcs.mplsnt01.sc.comcast.net [68.58.178.239]) by brillig.panix.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 479A92AA10 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:43:22 -0400 (EDT) Received: from stan by teddy.fas.com with local (Exim 3.36 #1 (Debian)) id 1CEvDV-0003kI-00 for ; Tue, 05 Oct 2004 15:43:21 -0400 Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:43:21 -0400 From: stan To: Free BSD Questions list Message-ID: <20041005194321.GB14134@teddy.fas.com> Mail-Followup-To: Free BSD Questions list Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline X-Editor: gVim X-Operating-System: Debian GNU/Linux X-Kernel-Version: 2.4.23 X-Uptime: 15:36:01 up 34 days, 18:04, 2 users, load average: 0.17, 0.09, 0.12 User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Sender: Stan Brown Subject: Problems updateing local cvsup mirrors X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 19:43:28 -0000 I haven't updated my machines in quite a while (a month or 2) and today I needed to do so.

I am a new user and I want to set up FreeBSD on a server. I'm just testing it on a server with a Pentium 233, 128MB RAM. The boot loader finds all of my devices, but when it gets to "cpu(0) on motherboard", the system just hangs. I cannot get to any installation options, or even to a command prompt. I have searched through the website, but I am unable to find anything that might help me. I have tried turning off "Plug-N-Play OS" in my CMOS settings, but that was also unsuccessful. Anywhere I can be directed for help would be great!

Wouldn't a vpn connection work? Then use ssh across the vpn. Of course, that assumes authorization on the university network.

But then again, there are lots of mirrors. Where I live (Germany), I usually get 180 kb./sec and more from a local mirror. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea. P2P could be a very powerful tool for distributing free software, documentation, patches... On the other hand security comes to mind. But wait, you can still get your checksums from the server. But for anything you get from a source as trustworthy as a P2P network, you *want* to use checksums. =) >..nbco > Kind regards, Benjamin From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 20:23:36 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EF4F416A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 20:23:36 +0000 (GMT) Received: from lilzmailso01.liwest.at (lilzmailso01.liwest.at [212.33.55.23]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B1CFE43D4C for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 20:23:36 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dgw@liwest.at) Received: from cm248-230.liwest.at ([81.10.248.230]) by lilzmailso01.liwest.at with esmtp (Exim 4.24) id 1CEvqQ-0005RG-EZ for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 05 Oct 2004 22:23:34 +0200 From: Daniela To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 22:25:14 +0000 User-Agent: KMail/1.5.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200410052225.14722.dgw@liwest.at> Subject: Floppy drive is going nuts X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: dgw@liwest.at List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 20:23:37 -0000 Recently, my floppy drive isn't working properly. The kernel often panics on unmount of a UFS floppy, and sometimes also while reading or writing an ordinary DOS-formatted floppy. Very often, the data is corrupted, but when formatting the floppy, it shows no errors. And once I tried to write a file (which is just a little bit over 1440k in size) to a 1720k formatted floppy (worked properly in the past), and the result was a complete system lockup. I had to do a hard reset to bring it back. This is reproducable. I'm running 4.10-STABLE. How can I tell whether this is a software bug or flaky hardware?

Look into 'man ssh' and check the '-R' option. I suggest a script be written to run an 'ssh -R' login from the home box to the office box, setting up the tunnel for reverse use. You (or !!_CAUTION_!! anyone else logged into either box) can use the tunnel for whatever connects to it. I suggest you connnect back to your home system's 'sshd' port and then you will have to satisfy the home box's login authorization to get access there (at the price of two levels of ssl wrappers, I suppose). The designated remote port effectively becomes an extension of your local 'sshd' connection port on the office machine. Set the remote machine up for RSA login from your home machine so you won't have to send the password from your script. Make sure the incoming port can get through your home firewall and the apartment complex's router - that shouldn't be too stringent, as [I _think_] it will look like 'reply' traffic to both of those filters, rather than incoming requests. The firewall on your office system will see them as incoming ssh requests, which I assume you now accept. DISCLAIMER: I have a static IP at home, and have only done this the other direction: exporting VNC $DISPLAY sessions from home to the outside world as pseudo-X11 logins onto the home box. The tunnel is setup by my ssh login from outside. (I know, I know -- a bit ugly, but it's easy to set up.) For simplicity I scripted the login as: sshTunnel: =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= #!/bin/sh echo "Connecting port : to $1:" ssh -C -g -L $1 =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= You would be using '-R' instead of '-L' of course, and using appropriate port definitions. I invoke my script as: $ sshTunnel The life of the tunnel should the same as the life of that scripted ssh login, which may influence what exactly you script. Whatever I send to is wrapped, sent, unwrapped, and passed to :, and vice-versa. REFINEMENTS: (1) In view of the !!_CAUTION_!! note above, you may want to create a pair of low-privilege users on the two machines and have the script connect _them_. The script should run with the home dummy-user's uid. This should help limit the damage potential from an intruder. (I would call this: 'making a virtue of necessity'.) You then ssh-connect _locally_ on the office machine to 'ride' the tunnel back to your home machine as yourself. (2)I bet someone who really understands tunneling could make this work with only one layer of ssl wrappers, but I'm not that clever. - John Mills john.m.mills@alum.mit.edu From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 21:07:04 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4542016A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 21:07:04 +0000 (GMT) Received: from ms1.usu.edu (ms1.usu.edu [129.123.104.11]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F288A43D39 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 21:07:03 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from hal@cc.usu.edu) Received: from [129.123.104.140] (buffy.ncs.usu.edu [129.123.104.140]) by ms1.usu.edu (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i95L6x7O019074 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:06:59 -0600 Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v619) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <7F2C64D1-1712-11D9-AA35-000A959670A0@cc.usu.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: hal Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:06:59 -0600 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.619) X-USU-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more information X-USU-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-MailScanner-From: hal@cc.usu.edu Subject: backup msdos partition X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 21:07:04 -0000 What is the best way to back up an msdos partition (FStype msdos) on my FreeBSD 4.7 system? hal From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 21:30:50 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E42EE16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 21:30:50 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.cs.tu-berlin.de (mail.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.13]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F1AC743D3F for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 21:30:49 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from volkere@cs.tu-berlin.de) Received: from mailhost.cs.tu-berlin.de (postfix@mail.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.13]) by mail.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.9.3p2/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA24353 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:30:48 +0200 (MEST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mailhost.cs.tu-berlin.de (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F8C4F219 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:30:48 +0200 (MEST) Received: from mailhost.cs.tu-berlin.de ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (bueno [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10224) with ESMTP id 17594-25 for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:30:47 +0200 (MEST) Received: from conde (conde.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.40]) by mailhost.cs.tu-berlin.de (Postfix) with ESMTP for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:30:47 +0200 (MEST) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:30:47 +0200 (MEST) From: Volker Eckert X-X-Sender: volkere@conde To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at cs.tu-berlin.de Subject: /usr/ports/java/jdk14 - native or not? problems with build..

I think it's still a bit new for really good documentation to have been produced. It hasn't yet been included in any released version of the OS. I'm not sure it should be trusted on production servers either. There's this, which is just a rehash of the mailing list traffic with a little extra commentary: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3104 Even Pawel's own pages at http://garage.freebsd.pl/ are pretty bare bones and seem to me to be somewhat out of date too. There is this: http://garage.freebsd.pl/GEOM_Gate.pdf Your question about replication: essentially what the GEOM Gate stuff does is make a remote disk device apear on your system as if it was a local disk. I guess that if you want to replicate a file system between two machines, you could try layering a GEOM mirror (gmirror(8)) over the two to synchronise the bits, but I've never tried to do anything like that. Or you might be able to use vinum, now that vinum is pretty much geom-ified. However, I don't think you could achieve RW access from two different machines. RW on one, RO on the other and mirrored on both *might* be possible.

Since this was an othewise new box, a recent beta release (when I started!?), & perhaps wrongly assuming I didn't need to run portupgrade, I went ahead and tried to install the instant-workstation _1.0.8 port. The machine began clunking away at 00:30 Fri, Oct 1, and was still churning away Sun, Oct. 3 when I left for work. I came back from work about 5:30 pm to find the Postfix config screen with all those [ ] SASL [ ] SASLKRB5 [ ] TLS [ ] DB42 [ ] LDAP [ ] PgSQL ...options As I had with most of the previous port-install config screens, I [X]'d as many of the options as I had ever seen/heard in my Time of Lurking/reading, pressed RETURN, and looked for- ward to the imminent conclusion of the port's installation. I got an install screen that said I had to choose between the DB options offered (4.0/4.2 etc.), but which then dumped me out of install process. Can someone tell me where to look for how to capture the console screens that fly by in the port install process? My scroll-locked look- back-at shows: <...paraphrasing> "Building for Postfix-2.1.4.1... <...couple of screens of gobbledygook> <...couple of screens of "/usr/lib/libkrb5.so. ...

(Logging in as a non-root user, for example, displays a bash prompt.) Maybe I can cd to /l/postfix and resume installing the postfix port separately? I don't need one of the three sub-ports that remain un-installed (mkisofs), since this machine doesn't have a burner. I *do* want to install gv and xtset, I think. But I'm still unclear on what role(s) postfix plays in the instant-workstation port, and/or just how much cleaning/tidying I will have to do manually.

Besides, about 80 % of the Canon printers which are listed there have been marked to indicate that some information for those printers has not been verified. The suggested printers section also seems to be quite dated and, in that sense, misleading. IMHO, there are too many conflicting reviews to really trust any one such source, but I do tend to trust first-hand experience of users more than any other source. Speaking of support for Canon multifunction PSC devices, is anyone using the drivers for FreeBSD from the following site? http://canon.codehost.com ALeine ___________________________________________________________________ WebMail FREE http://mail.austrosearch.net From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 5 23:36:08 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C5A9C16A4CE for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:36:08 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mta13.adelphia.net (mta13.adelphia.net [68.168.78.44]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0AC2743D4C for ; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:36:08 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from parv@chvlva.adelphia.net) Received: from default.chvlva.adelphia.net ([69.160.71.53]) by mta13.adelphia.netESMTP <20041005233607.UOET15118.mta13.adelphia.net@default.chvlva.adelphia.net>; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 19:36:07 -0400 Received: by default.chvlva.adelphia.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id D04C457C1; Tue, 5 Oct 2004 19:38:12 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 19:38:12 -0400 From: Parv To: Scott Key Message-ID: <20041005233812.GA404@moo.holy.cow> Mail-Followup-To: Scott Key , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org References: <006101c4aa61$48dd0350$0b00a8c0@ZeroKool> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <006101c4aa61$48dd0350$0b00a8c0@ZeroKool> cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Problem regarding dhcp and FreeBSD 4.10 on a laptop X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: f-questions List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 23:36:08 -0000 in message <006101c4aa61$48dd0350$0b00a8c0@ZeroKool>, wrote Scott Key thusly... > ( reformatted) > I have a Toshiba Satellite that used to run Win 98 until I got fed > up and installed FreeBSD.

I have ximian-connector installed and working, this is the final piece of this puzzle that I need. with recent cvsup of ports tree I did: cd /usr/ports/mail/evolution/ make deinstall make clean make WITH_LDAP=yes install I see no errors, it seems to build it just fine. OpenLDAP is already installed by this point by the way, do I need to deinstall OpenLDAP and let the build of evolution also build OpenLDAP? I start evolution, click on Tools -> Settings -> Directory Servers and I get: LDAP was not enabled in this build of Evolution. So what am I doing wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Based on my own experiences, I've concluded that any type of multi-function printer/scanner/fax/copier product doesn't sit well with the BSDs (or QNX or *Linux for that matter). Has _anyone_ out there found an exception to this? I'd be interested to know. Is it that the hardware _must_ be software driven (in addition to the drivers)? Is it a problem with the structure of the drivers themselves? What gives? I ask because when people ask me, all I can relate is what I've experienced, and I can't give them an explanation other than, "Multi-function products bite."

The reason why is precisely because of linuxprinter.org.

The screen will stay gray for awhile and then my resolution will be messed up and the system mouseless (cursor won't move) - I can fix this by running Return to Castle Wolfenstein which will give back mouse control and reset resolution. I've digged a bit into the problem, but it's 4.30 AM and I can't think on anything else. Here's how the game stops: game initialized. -------------------------------------- -------- Initializing Session -------- session initialized -------------------------------------- Sys_MapCharForKey: doom key 43 -> keycode failed Sys_MapCharForKey: doom key 126 -> keycode failed --- Common Initialization Complete --- terminal support disabled pid: 36927 496 MB System Memory 64 MB Video Memory Async thread started signal caught: Aborted si_code 0 Trying to exit gracefully.. --------- Game Map Shutdown ---------- -------------------------------------- Shutting down sound hardware ----------- OSS Sound Shutdown ----------- unmap dma sound buffer close sound device ------------------------------------------ idRenderSystem::Shutdown() double fault Aborted, bailing out So it's obvious it's something to do with threading. This makes me think the game will only run on the 5.3 version.. which would be a major drawback for me as I don't plan to install 5.3 on my workstation (everything is working flawlessly, and the idea of upgrading the OS+nvidia drivers+all ports is not so nice..) A ktrace shows this: 36983 doom.x86 RET write 148/0x94 36983 doom.x86 CALL #175(0x2,0,0xbfbfdde8,0x8) 36983 doom.x86 RET #175 0 36983 doom.x86 CALL #179(0xbfbfdde8,0x8) 36983 doom.x86 RET #179 -1 errno -4 Unknown error: -4 36983 doom.x86 PSIG SIG(null) caught handler=0x28345e94 mask=0x80000000 code=0 36983 doom.x86 CALL #119(0xbfbfdaf8) 36983 doom.x86 RET #119 JUSTRETURN 36983 doom.x86 CALL old.sendmsg(0x9078,0,0x80000000,0) 36983 doom.x86 RET old.sendmsg 36984/0x9078 36983 doom.x86 CALL #91(0x2833a000,0x1000) 36983 doom.x86 RET #91 0 36983 doom.x86 CALL exit(0x6) So I'm pretty much out of ideas to make the game work..

The only way they can do this is to produce the units dirt-cheap then only produce just enough support so that people don't get pissed at the units and return them to the store right after purchasing them. This isn't hard as the target market for these devices are the small home office people who are, in a word, cheapskates, who don't care about long term ROI. They just want a cheap $99 multifunction device and if it breaks in a year they figure they will just landfill it and get another one on sale. These devices have terrible support even within Windows. Lots of people bought Canon multifunction fax/scanner/printers a couple years ago then found no Windows XP drivers were forthcoming when Windows XP was released. The multifunction devices selling today aren't going to be supported past Windows 2003 either. There's lots and lots of retired office equipment out there that is fantastic, plain paper faxes, laser printers, photocopiers, etc. Sure you may have to drop $100 on a new toner cartridge and a fuser when you buy it - but it's going to last a home office's printing needs another decade at the rate they print paper. > I ask because when people ask me, all I can relate is what > I've experienced, and I can't give them an explanation > other than, "Multi-function products bite." > Cheap office equipment bites, period. If your going to work at home, spend the dough for decent gear. Why turn your home office into a nightmare of cheap crap? It always amazes me that people setting up a home office will buy a $25 chair from Target that will fall apart in a year and feels like sitting on a board, when they can go to a used office dealer and get a used commercial chair that sold for $250 new, for about $50, and won't kill their lower back.

I apologize for the mistakes and omissions in my original posting. I've included additional information in this message. I'm running Vinum on a Free BSD 4.9 system with 3 hard drives. It's = been operational for about 5 years. The first drive is a small one and I = boot from it. The second and third drive are mirrored, using Vinum, and contain = most of the system's data (1 volume, 1 plex per drive, 1 subdisk per plex). The operating system and Vinum are stock, no modifications. The Vinum = config has not been modified in years. The system locked up on me this morning. When I rebooted there was a = problem with the Vinum mirrored drives. When I did a "list" from Vinum both = subdisks were "stale" and both plexes were "faulty". After playing around a while, I didn't know what to do, so I stupidly = tried something which probably made things worse. I did a "start" on one of = the plexes. It took a few minutes and then came up along with the subdisk = on it. But I'm afraid that it seems to be empty. When I boot now I get a "bad super block: magic number wrong" error, = along with "unexpected soft update inconsistency", "/dev/vinum/mirror: cannot = figure out file system partition". Vinum now lists the drives as "up", the volume as "up", the plexes as = "up" and "faulty", the subdisks as "up" and "stale". I would love to post a copy = of the Vinum "list" but I don't know of any way to copy it from the console = to here. Unfortunately, the /var/log directory is on the Vinum drive. So I am = unable to access it. Bottom line: I'm guessing that I blew away the first plex. Is there a = way to tell? Is there any way to get the second plex up and running, and to = restore the first plex from it?

Recently I installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my Dell Inspiron 8600. It works great, everything except for the winmodem got detected right away. I have however a few things I'd like to tweak that I don't seem to be able to do. Namely: 1) My touchpad is an ALPS touchpad. When I had Linux running on this machine I had to patch the kernel so it would work with a synaptics ALPS driver (within synaptics there is a file called alps.patch). FreeBSD recognizes the touchpad as an ALPS glidepoint, but the sensetivity is terrible! I use moused and X11 uses /dev/sysmouse, so I tried to tweak with moused options. I managed to speed up the pointer but it gets really hard to point precisely. (In Windows where I can use the native driver from Apoint it is a lot smoother). Any solutions? 2) The ACPI partially works: S1 is supported but it'd be nice to turn off the screen with it. By the way if I disable ACPI (acpiconf -d), closing the lid turns off the screen. Is there a config file or something I could edit? 3) S3 sleep state reboots the computer. Has anybody gotten it working? Is there an expected fix of it? I would appreciate all help.

Neither machine has much other load. (The FreeBSD version probably doesn't matter; I've seen this on many 4.x revisions in the same hardware configuration. My network is 100BaseTX Ethernet and uses a hub, though during this test there are no machines on the LAN other than these two. I only see a few packet collisions per minute on the dc0 interface of the FreeBSD machine, which is the interface on this LAN and which produces the following info at boot time: dc0: port 0xfc00-0xfcff mem 0xffbefc00-0xffbeffff irq 10 at device 20.0 on pci0 miibus0: on dc0 ukphy0: on miibus0 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto Anomaly: Contrary to Sharity-Light docs, which say smbfs is faster, A Win98 share as just described accepts data about three times faster if mounted via shlight than if mounted via smbfs. I'm wondering if anyone knows why. (For comparison, I believe ftp moves about two times even faster than shlight.) Please Cc me directly.

(I don't use XMMS, so I don't know if that port would break for me as well). I searched the archives and it seems the problem comes from a program using one threading system (pthreads) but having a dependancy compiled against the other system ((libc_r). The solution is either to 1) recompile all your ports to use the same threading system, or 2) map all calls to one system to another using /etc/libmap.conf. However, I tried *both* of these and neither work. I've used ldd on everything under /usr/local and nothing is linked to libc_r (although many are linked to pthread). I've tried recompiling all the requirements of gnucash using portupgrade -fR. I've also tried mapping the libc_r calls to pthread calls using an /etc/libmap.conf file: [root@celebrian] /# cat /etc/libmap.conf libc_r.so.5 libpthread.so.1 # Everything that uses 'libc_r' libc_r.so libpthread.so # now uses 'libpthread' Yet I'm still getting the error. I can only assume that something is broken in 5.3-BETA regarding pthreads unless someone has any other insight. I'm hitting my head against a wall. beh. --Andy On Sep 14, 2004, at 7:43 PM, Jason Porter wrote: > I cvsuped last week, on 9 Sept and since then I've installed XMMS and > mplayer from the ports and neither one of them work, here are the > errors I receive when I try to start them: > > XMMS: > Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 83 in file > /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 0) > Segmentation fault (core dumped) > > mplayer: > Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 83 in file > /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 0) > Abort trap (core dumped) > > I'm not sure if this is a new feature in 5 or a debugging problem or > what.

Something like 192.168.x.y? If so, you can't connect, that's true, if there's not a nat gateway substituting the private address by its public address in every ip packet. If you can access web pages from your private ip system, that's probably because of a proxy server in your network which fetches pages from the outside if required from within the local network.

You might have to update from 5.2.1 to a more recent 5.3-beta in order to obtain improvements, but "man psm" under 5.3 mentions: bit 11 FORCETAP Some pad devices report as if the fourth button is pressed when the user `taps' the surface of the device (see CAVEATS). This flag will make the psm driver assume that the device behaves this way. Without the flag, the driver will assume this behavior for ALPS GlidePoint models only. [ ... ] CAVEATS Many pad devices behave as if the first (left) button were pressed if the user `taps' the surface of the pad. In contrast, some pad products, e.g. some versions of ALPS GlidePoint and Interlink VersaPad, treat the tap- ping action as fourth button events. It is reported that Interlink VersaPad requires both HOOKRESUME and INITAFTERSUSPEND flags in order to recover from suspended state. These flags are automatically set when VersaPad is detected by the psm driver. Perhaps try setting: hint.psm.0.flags="0x800" ...in /boot/device.hints...and see whether that helps. > 2) The ACPI partially works: S1 is supported but it'd be nice to turn > off the screen with it.

Likewise, there has been a fair number of improvements to ACPI power management support between 5.2.1 and 5.3; updating to a more recent version is likely to help. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Oct 6 06:57:30 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B978716A4CE for ; Wed, 6 Oct 2004 06:57:30 +0000 (GMT) Received: from post.com2com.ru (Post.com2com.ru [195.98.162.14]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E65AB43D46 for ; Wed, 6 Oct 2004 06:57:28 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from apeter.subscribe@mail.ru) Received: from localhost (home-pool-173-2.com2com.ru [195.98.173.2]) by post.com2com.ru (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i966vQe7073021 for ; Wed, 6 Oct 2004 10:57:27 +0400 (MSD) X-AntiVirus: Checked by Dr.Web [version: 4.32a, engine: 4.32a, virus records: 56475, updated: 6.10.2004] Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 02:39:45 +0400 From: "Peter E.

The upgrade 5.2.1 -> 5.3 is indeed a bit bumpy, requiring a lot of port rebuilds or fun with libmap.conf. However, I found that the 'new' nvidia-driver (version 6113) in combination with 5.3 was a significant improvement, especially concerning stability, on my system.

Then a reinstall would cause everything to return to normal.

Then I copy the .pub portion of that key over to SERVER and save it as /usr/home/jerkoff/.ssh/authorized_keys2 ... note that I save it as authorized_keys2, because it is a dsa key ... then I chmod 0600 authorized_keys2 ... So now I should be able to go to CLIENT and: ssh jerkoff@SERVER and log in with no password, right ? Wrong.

I have searched google groups and found conflicting answers so I figured I would ask here. I have backed up my /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group. My /usr/home is mounted on a separate drive the the rest of the system so I should have no need to back up files. (If users wish to they can) What I want to know, is do I simply copy over the relevant files listed above, on the fresh install, with my backups, or is there some special process I have to use to restore the user database on the newly installed system? If there is a set process, could someone please give me a link to it (handbook? (I couldn't find it)).

My mergemaster output was basically the contents of my /etc/make.conf file. I added NO_PF=3Dyo = (as suggested by the UPDATING file), and life was peachy. Some side questions... Is MergeMaster supposed to spew back endless supplies of configuration files I never touched? What is suggested, I just did an "I" for most options... Except the password and group files - hope that turns out OK. I've also noticed that I never rebuilt my kernel, and I noticed the "WARNING" in the UPDATING file too late about updating your kernel before running make installworld... Oops. Also, the output of my "uname -a" is this: FreeBSD bonkers.domain.com 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Oct 5 08:09:19 EDT 2004 root@bonkers.domain.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 ...

Sorry I forgot to specify that I will be adding new drives to the system, so cvsup'ing isn't really a viable option in my case. Also, maybe you can clear something up for me. Every time I have cvsup'ed my source tree, and reinstalled world. I end up with every single binary file the base system has to offer. Is there any automated way I can limit the source that is compiled to the source I have on my existing system? (For future reference.)

Apart from that: Why do you actually want to know? It's better not to know the exact version since others might abuse that information and hack into the company.

Before starting the installation, issue this command: script /var/tmp/portinstall.log After finishing the installation (successfully or unsuccessfully), issue this command: exit Then you can read everything that was printed on the console during installation from the file /var/tmp/portinstall.log (which may be pretty large!). Unfortunately I am not familiar with instant-workstation port so I can't comment on that specific situation. My only idle thought is that if you are not sure what various port configure options do it may be safer to leave them as defaults. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Cannibal's recipe book: How to Serve Your Fellow Man.

Hi Andreas, Not sure whether this helps but here we go: Within Postfix i had to specify that i needed broken_sasl support for clients like outlook.

At the countdown during boot, press a key to interrupt the boot, then enter 'boot -s'.

So you're home PC has a public IP and you work PC has a private IP and is behind a NAT router? This doesn't cause problems for ssh. It more likly a firewall problem somewhere.

Take a look at this message http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-current/2004-October/039354.html There is a script made by Benjamin Lutz that checks all ports need to be rebuilded, so, you need to rebuild all these packages using portupgrade -f packagename, or use the /etc/libmap.conf.

According to my understanding, the apps compiled before the updates are using the old libraries, and the apps compiled after the update should utilize the new libraries. As long as I don't remove the old libraries, all apps should work fine. I was just curious to know whether I should recompile all apps so that they may work better by using the new libraries. Or will they? :) --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ "There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not."

Thanks for pointing me to the script!! I have saved the script to my computer, run it and it said that there are 60 packages that I should upgrade. I will upgrade them slowly when I have the spare time. However, I still don't get how /etc/libmap.conf can be used to work around this problem without rebuilding the ports.

If you're adding in drives, cvsuping is still a viable option. Are you going to change the partition sizes and/or locations? Well then, I guess it boils down to: do it the way you feel most comfortable with. Forget backing up passwd, master.passwd and group. 5.3 has added new users and groups, and removed some. Replacing the 5.3 files with the saved ones from 5.2.1 is asking for a disaster to happen. > Every time I have cvsup'ed my source tree, and reinstalled world. > I end up with every single binary file the base system has to > offer. Is there any automated way I can limit the source that is > compiled to the source I have on my existing system? (For future > reference.) As for the above, I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it seems to me that if you're going to install FreeBSD5.3, then you want FreeBSD 5.3. If you cvsup the FreeBSD5.3 sources and go through the world/kernel process, you're compiling only the sources that you have on your existing system as it is, after the cvsup. If you want to keep it at the sources that are on your system prior to the cvsup, there's no point in going through the world/kernel sequence. If you're asking about something different, then you need to reword your question to exactly what you want to accomplish. Don -- Donald J.

The theory is we only want to give them access to HTTP and DNS (which we could do as proxy on the FreeBSD box). For accountability reasons, each modem will be assigned a specific IP address. That way, I'll be able to use Radius accounting to keep track of who was logged in on what ip at what time. The idea being that if someone uses the modems to launch an attack or whatever, we have something to work with for tracking the user down if the authorities come knocking. I haven't set up a FreeBSD firewall before, so I have a "best way" question: Should I use "transparent" mode where each modem has a public ip address or use something like static NAT entries? I'd planned on using a transparent mode, since I was familiar with it from using a Netscreen. It would seem to have the easiest accounting. But, wasn't sure if I could do that using FreeBSD, so static NAT entries would be the next best thing... Right? I would also entertain the idea of using something like Squid so all access is through a local proxy, then simply lock the firewall down completely. But, I'm still concerned about the accountability in case someone manages to launch an attack thru the proxy. I'd have to have some way of easily mapping back to the ip of the modem based on the external information given to me by authorities (ie: public ip address). Any other suggestions for methods to accomplish this task are welcome. Thanks!

ImageMagick (and sibs - it's a collection of utilities, like gcc) does a good job of resizing, thumbnails, format conversion, etc. Check the man pages for rotation commands - I haven't tried that. It has a GUI (as 'display'), is very handy for scripting, and pretty lightweight, too. For heavier hitting, GIMP.

It is a bit like Window's ACDSee - it's a general purpose image viewer and slideshow. It can do rotation itself, and it has a configurable context menu which can pass an image on to an external editor when you need something more complex. It has predefined entries for gimp, electric eyes, XV, and XPaint.

After completing the upgrade, I found that I did not have any system sounds. Following the instuctions in the UPDATING file in /usr/ports, I removed the knotifyrc file. After logging out and back into KDE, I now have system sounds but applications like XMMS and KsCD will not produce sounds, yet they access the the CD drive and will list files correctly. I have also upgraded from XFree86 to xorg. What additional information that I could provide could help on this matter? Or am I just overlooking something in the Kcontrols?

This box is configured to be a gateway/router. The install was a base install, and i recompiled with the IPFILTER options. Ive added the net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 to my /etc/sysctl.conf. When accessing the internet (via ADSL/PPPoE) on the gateway machine, my downloads are very fast, and im very happy. my problem is that when i connect any computer to this LAN, the speed drops dramatically. For example: From the gateway machine speed > 90K/s. From Machine attached to gateway machine speed < 10K/s. Im not very good with networking, so im not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this. May someone suggest something for me to check. I would like to keep my gateway with freebsd. I hope this wasn't too confusing. thank-you aya Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

Or will they? :) That is posible, but it doesn't have to. You can remove the old lib afther with the worry that some apps suddenly don't work anymore. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

This results in vey slow traffic, but high packet fragmentation numbers. You might check that. I have set the Foundry to force those ports to 100 full. Have you tried smbclient? For this application, why is smbfs better?

Jerry already said this, but I need to add a 'me too' - I would (and do) use xv for this sort of thing. It's pretty lightweight and can do what you need to do. It can also convert images to lower resolution, which you might want for posting on the web, as well as some amount of color correction type stuff.

I went on with a fast install to restore my ability to work. I created a small slice in the leading gigas. Now I wanted to go on with slicing the disk, but I got stuck. When I get to sysinstall's fdisk I get a warning that my geometry is incorrect and an explanation as follows: you need to enter whatever your BIOS thinks the geometry is! For IDE, it's what you were told in BIOS setup. (...) _Do NOT use phisical geometry._ The BIOS recognizes my disk as: 38309/16/255. The fdisk when started claims 155061/16/63 is wrong, when I follow and press G to setup the correct values, it presents me with 9729/255/63. I tried all of them, but I always get the incorrect geometry message and whenever I try to write changes to disk, I get: ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad0 Disk partition write returned an error status OK, so here it states smth contrary to the sysinstall warning: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=pl&lr=&selm=3ee36290%241%40news. broadpark.no ...that I should follow with disk CHS values. I got them from WD site (16383/16/63), and these are the only ones fdisk do not complain when entered, but! it is the contrary to what the fdisk warning states when run: (...) _Do NOT use phisical geometry._ Please enlighten me.

I installed Cups and gnome-cups-manager from ports. I am able to use the web interface and install the printer. The test page prints fine. I can also print a text file from gedit without trouble. # I can also print a test page from gnome-cups-manager The problem is with AbiWord2, gnumeric and the pdf files. The Print Preview screens show blank and when I click on file; print; and then the paper tab, the "Paper size" field is not bold and reads "no options are defined". I did define the paper in the web setup of cups and these programs do show the 890C as the printer. Of course, I am unable to print from these programs.

I appreciate it greatly! :) The boot loader idea sounds like it'll have to be what I use. I'll get the CD to write a token to the drive if it checks out, and upon next boot-up, if I can get the CD's boot loader to find the token on the HD, it'll boot the HD instead. Any ideas on how to arrange that one? If I can't get the boot loader to do that, I'll have to resort to making the partition bootable/unbootable to make the selection; although I'd prefer the token. I do agree that one of the best ways to secure the box is to use the secure levels and mount things read-only. I will be doing that, but my goal here is to remove every remote possibility of my machine's compromise lasting beyond a day. I like to go for absolute certainty on security. :) Thx --- "Theodore K.

For convenience, you can set those variables from within /etc/make.conf: FETCH_ENV=3D FTP_PROXY=3Dhttp://username:password@proxy.example.com:3= 128/ \ HTTP_PROXY=3Dhttp://username:password@proxy.example.com:31= 28/ You can also use the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH variable where: HTTP_PROXY=3Dhttp://proxy.example.com:3128/ HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=3Dbasic:*:username:password is equivalent to the previous HTTP_PROXY setting. In theory that can let you use other HTTP authorization schemes than basic auth, except that support for those other schemes has not yet been added to libfetch.

Here are some miscellaneous questions: How do I create different sized xterms and/or gnome terms of different sizes in different workspaces? Is it possible to have an xload app of a given size (or other GUI apps) and have them appear on various workspaces, or *all* workspaces? Finally, how can I set up the Fn keys to perform certain tasks, for example, have F2 minimize a window/xterm/app, and have F3 put the same application in front? Both Gnome and KDE are nice front ends, but a bit heavy on the graphical interface side for a CLI hacker like me.

Take a look at http://www.freesbie.org. There also are firewall-systems that fit on a single floppy, e.g. PicoBSD: http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html, which works very nice as well. And of course, Linux has thousands of floppy/cd-based distro's.

If you're adding in drives, cvsuping is still a viable option. Are you going to change the partition sizes and/or locations? Well then, I guess it boils down to: do it the way you feel most comfortable with. Forget backing up passwd, master.passwd and group. 5.3 has added new users and groups, and removed some. Replacing the 5.3 files with the saved ones from 5.2.1 is asking for a disaster to happen. > Every time I have cvsup'ed my source tree, and reinstalled world. > I end up with every single binary file the base system has to > offer. Is there any automated way I can limit the source that is > compiled to the source I have on my existing system? (For future > reference.) As for the above, I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it seems to me that if you're going to install FreeBSD5.3, then you want FreeBSD 5.3. If you cvsup the FreeBSD5.3 sources and go through the world/kernel process, you're compiling only the sources that you have on your existing system as it is, after the cvsup. If you want to keep it at the sources that are on your system prior to the cvsup, there's no point in going through the world/kernel sequence. If you're asking about something different, then you need to reword your question to exactly what you want to accomplish. Don -- Donald J.

The same problem has been reported several times on the freebsd-java list. That's why the port Makefile specifically warns you to mount linprocfs nowadays.

For a 64k blocksize: > "tar cvbf 128 /dev/sa0 /usr" I hit the same 10K limit when I use something like this: # dd if=/dev/nsa0 of=/dev/null bs=64k Is that because tar wrote to the tape with a 10k bock size that even dd can't read larger blocks?

Hmmm.. I wasn't upgrading, I made fresh install of KDE 3.3. But thank you :).. I ran kmix again (without any success at all), but=20 small icon of kmix appeared in taskbar and it said Volume at 0% (even=20 when I set 100%), so I opened it and set it at 100% again.. and it=20 worked..

What's your internal LAN speed when the gateway is not involved? That will tell you whether it's the gateway you need to look at. To explain better: ADSL | | (a) FreeBSD GW | (b) | Switch / \ Machine 1 Machine 2 Have Machine 1 talk to Machine 2. What's your speed? If it's significantly faster, then it's time to look at the gateway. If not, look at the switch. If it's the gateway, try reconfiguring your gateway so that the (b) ethernet card talks to the ADSL line and the (a) card talks to your LAN. Any change in speed? If so, it's probably the card or the config associated with it. If not, it's probably your routing configuration.

This box is configured to be a gateway/router. The install was a base install, and i recompiled with the IPFILTER options. Ive added the net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 to my /etc/sysctl.conf. When accessing the internet (via ADSL/PPPoE) on the gateway machine, my downloads are very fast, and im very happy. my problem is that when i connect any computer to this LAN, the speed drops dramatically. For example: From the gateway machine speed > 90K/s. From Machine attached to gateway machine speed < 10K/s. Im not very good with networking, so im not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this. May someone suggest something for me to check. I would like to keep my gateway with freebsd. I hope this wasn't too confusing. thank-you aya Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

The script is straightforward, there are not any complicated control structures or anything like that. However, at one point it had a sleep statement in it that would go to sleep, but when the required number of seconds elapsed, it wouldn't wake up again. I've since rewritten the script to not require it, but I was wondering what's up with that? Is this a known problem?

Look at what changed between the time it worked and when it stopped working and change that back. Unfortunately, there is almost no information in your email that can actually be used to diagnose the problem. Have you ensured that it doesn't work from other locations? Perhaps you putty installation got corrupted, or maybe an intervening ISP suddenly decided to block ssh. Do an nmap scan to see if ssh is being filtered. Try logging in from a closer server to see if the sshd on the server is still working. At least narrow it down to whether putty, the sshd, or the network is the problem. Ethereal would be a good tool as well.

Okay, that's a very convenient place to start. From the server itself, you must have been using a different ssh client (probably the one in the FreeBSD base system), so you can rule out blaming putty. >From the server, use ssh(1) with increased verbosity ("-v" or even "-vvv") and see what it says. Most likely, though, you will need to increase the verbosity of the ssh *server* and see what it's complaining about in the connection. The most convenient (IMO) way to do this is to shut down your existing ssh server and start a new one from the command line with the "-d" (or even "-ddd") option.

This time I'm trying to do some shell scripting=20 but I'm running into a problem with a randomization script that I found=20 on the web. The script I'm trying to run can be found at: http://www.bsdbooks.net/shells/scripting/randomvar.html#PICKCARD. Everything runs fine on different Linux systems that I've used (Red Hat 9,=20 Knoppix-STD, PHLAK) but when I run the script on FreeBSD or OpenBSD I get=20 errors. I'm mainly running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA right now with /shells/bash2=20 installed so that's where I'd really like to get it running. I did change the first line to point to /usr/local/bin/bash but that=20 didn't make any difference. If anyone knows why this won't run, or if anyone has another example of=20 getting a random character (I'd eventually like to generate a random=20 hexadecimal character) I'd love to hear from you.

SMP in 5.3 does a lot better in benchmarks of other types of workloads, for example mysql with the "supersmack" stress tool. I don't have those numbers to hand right now though. Of course, there are lots of other things you could try to benchmark, and there is certainly a lot of optimization work remaining to be done. The first step in optimizing is to find a good test case that clearly demonstrates a problem, and run it under controlled conditions. But this shows that 5.3 is clearly a good start along that path, and is a significant improvement over 4.x and older 5.x releases. You should expect further performance improvements in the 5.x branch over the coming months, as the focus of development shifts from infrastructure to optimization.

Not so good -- as we've been discussing in this thread, 5.2.1 was clearly marked as a development release for early adopters, and it was a work in progress for which significant optimization had not yet been performed. That has changed, and 5.3 now performs a lot better than 4.x under many workloads (particularly network-related).

I updated my ports yesterday and i tried again, but i still get the error. It builds fine for me. It's looking for libXcursor.so, which is normally installed by the XFree86-libraries port into /usr/X11R6/lib (I assume it should be installed by the equivalent xorg port if you're using that, but XFree86 is the default on 4.10).

I run ipaudit on all our servers, and a normal 30 minute period looks like: neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-22:00.txt.gz | grep 200.046.204 | wc -l 12107 neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-22:00.txt.gz | grep -v 200.046.204 | wc -l 112 neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-22:00.txt.gz | wc -l 12219 where 200.046.204 is our C-class ...

Now, I can login to the servers, and load is negligible ... but packet loss is anywhere from 50->90%, so pretty much unusable ... Now, the shared 'switch' between our networks is a Cisco Catalyst 2900xl ... is there something that should be set on that so that I don't see that network traffic? Basically, the only network traffic that I should/want to see is that for my network .. in this case, 200.46.204? Baring that ... is there anything that I can do on the FreeBSD side of things to reduce the impact of the "extra packets"? Some way of "absorbing them"? For instance, if the packet is coming in, and it isn't for that server, then I imagine it has to 'bounce' it back out again, compounding the problem, no? Also ... since the FreeBSD servers do seem to be handling the load, is it possible that the unmanaged switch that i have in place between the FreeBSD box and the Cisco switch is 'buckling under the load'? Not able to handle the packets fast enough, and therefore just drop'ng them? The unmanage switch is a 10/100 Linksys Switch ... Thanks for any responses ... ---- Marc G.

Your second line of defense should be a good firewall, sitting behind the router. If your server cluster is supposed to be on the DMZ, then set up the switch behind the router with the boxes and the firewall on that switch. I realize that this is a VERY simplistic design description, and it could be tightened up, locked down, and fancified quite a lot, but it's the very basics. -----Original Message----- From: Marc G.

I've got 5 servers sitting on a 10/100 unmanaged switch right now ... last night, a DDoS attack against a network "beside us" cause 70+% packet loss on our network, and I'm trying to figure out if there is anything I can do from my side to "compensate" for this ... I run ipaudit on all our servers, and a normal 30 minute period looks like: neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-22:00.txt.gz | grep 200.046.204 | wc -l 12107 neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-22:00.txt.gz | grep -v 200.046.204 | wc -l 112 neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-22:00.txt.gz | wc -l 12219 where 200.046.204 is our C-class ... Now, when the DDoS attack is running, those stats change to: neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-17:30.txt.gz | grep 200.046.204 | wc -l 5815 neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-17:30.txt.gz | grep -v 200.046.204 | wc -l 594189 neptune# gzcat 2004-10-06-17:30.txt.gz | wc -l 600004 We're getting *alot* of traffic on our network that just is not ours ... Now, I can login to the servers, and load is negligible ... but packet loss is anywhere from 50->90%, so pretty much unusable ... Now, the shared 'switch' between our networks is a Cisco Catalyst 2900xl ... is there something that should be set on that so that I don't see that network traffic? Basically, the only network traffic that I should/want to see is that for my network .. in this case, 200.46.204? Baring that ... is there anything that I can do on the FreeBSD side of things to reduce the impact of the "extra packets"? Some way of "absorbing them"? For instance, if the packet is coming in, and it isn't for that server, then I imagine it has to 'bounce' it back out again, compounding the problem, no? Also ... since the FreeBSD servers do seem to be handling the load, is it possible that the unmanaged switch that i have in place between the FreeBSD box and the Cisco switch is 'buckling under the load'? Not able to handle the packets fast enough, and therefore just drop'ng them? The unmanage switch is a 10/100 Linksys Switch ... Thanks for any responses ... ---- Marc G.

Seems that when the CISCO box upstream gets overloaded it starts sending packets everywhere, instead of just to the networks they're intended for. You could put in a filtering bridge upstream of your unmanaged switch, which would let you strip out everything not intended for your assigned subnet. However, as your FreeBSD servers seem to be handling the load just fine, that probably won't do you much good. If the switch upstream of you is completely overloaded, there's not a lot you can do, other than get your network moved over to some less loaded equipment. =20 Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --GID0FwUMdk1T2AWN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBZWK/iD657aJF7eIRAspBAJ9IXfZWOznX1FEHBH+6IozLGaWB/gCcDiKm YcZ2C7HEvAfxJEUUObKmBiU= =Zoc4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GID0FwUMdk1T2AWN-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Oct 7 15:45:51 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DAB5E16A4CE for ; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 15:45:51 +0000 (GMT) Received: from exchmx2.lsuhsc.edu (exchmx2.lsuhsc.edu [155.58.212.90]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 17B3043D1D for ; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 15:45:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jmire@lsuhsc.edu) Received: by exchmx2.lsuhsc.edu with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) id ; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 10:45:49 -0500 Message-ID: From: "Mire, John" To: Matthew Seaman , Matt Navarre Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 10:45:46 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) Content-Type: text/plain X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.1 cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Portupgrade problem, possible pkgdb problem?

I *had* been pretty much doing that. The Postfix config screen, though, presents a screen full of alphabet soup options. It was late. I was tired. I should've known better. I came across instant-workstation late last year while using Greg Lehey's Complete FreeBSD book to install 5.0-Release on my wife's dual-boot (Windows ME). The port installs fifteen/sixteen sub-ports (acroread, gimp, kde, etc.), and the postfix one gets installed towards the end of the instant-workstation install. I suspect I now have to go into each sub-port and 'make clean,' since the inst.-work. didn't get that far. > * Cannibal's recipe book: How to Serve Your Fellow Man. Thanks again.

I did have two 120 GB's disk drives in vinum as a striped raid. One disk crashed, and is not found during boot. It starts up and makes the usual noises, but then it stalls with a katjing, katjing and so on. It seems like either the steering electronics, or the read/write-heads mechanics, have failed. I did contact a data recovery company and they say they need both disks to restore the raid, because of that the raid initializing might be corrupted. My questions is: Do they need both disks? Isn't it enough if they make a disk image of the failed drive, and I will then be able to restore the raid data initialization in vinum by a vinum create, or something similar? Will they be able to recreate the raid data without using vinum anyway? Thank you in advance for an answer!

I guess I was just hooked on the idea that if I were to write a regular file to the HDD in 10K chunks, I could still read it in 64K chunks. I've had a really bad week. I mistakenly applied that to tape as well. I think I knew better, but even that's debatable. Thanks.

I have a firewall machine running FreeBSD 4.10 connected between my DSL modem and my office switch. It does nat and has a basic set of IPFW rules. It is somewhat locked down (kern_securelevel = 1, other recommendations typical for this configuration). My question is: from a "well" configured firewall, "Should" I be able to nmap the public interface using a console session on the firewall itself? Will allowing this compromising security of the machine? Basically, should I even attempt to make this work? What's a good way to test your own firewall without driving down the road (and hacking into an unsecured linksys wireless router.... just kidding)? Additional info: I am still reading "Network Security Hacks" by Andrew Lockhart; not sure if this is covered..... nmap -v -O -sS my.firewall.com .... sendto in send_ip_raw: sendto(4, packet, 28, 0, n.n.n.n, 16) => Permission denied. I can nmap to other machine inside and outside my firewall. Machines inside my firewall can nmap machines inside(duh) and outside the firewall. Although doing an nmap from a machine inside my firewall to a machine outside causes the net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_count to grow rather large so I avoid doing this. Same thing if I try to nmap my firewall from a machine inside the firewall. Tried opening up the firewall, still does not work (slightly different error though).

I have had the same problem with FreeBSD-5.2, WD 250G. Windows would install fine, but FreeBSD gave problems with fdisk.

This topic may be going on in multiple threads, so apologies if I am missing something. In this thread I notice a reply with the benchmark: Here's one benchmark, showing UDP packet/second generation rate from userland on a dual xeon machine under various target loads: Desired Optimal 5.x-UP 5.x-SMP 4.x-UP 4.x-SMP 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 75000 75000 75001 75001 75001 75001 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 150000 150000 150015 150014 150015 150015 175000 175000 175008 175008 175008 169097 200000 200000 200000 179621 181445 169451 225000 225000 225022 179729 181367 169831 250000 250000 242742 179979 181138 169212 275000 275000 242102 180171 181134 169283 300000 300000 242213 179157 181098 169355 That does show results for both single-processor (5.x-UP 4.x-UP) and multi- processor (5.x-SMP, 4.x-SMP) benchmarks. It may be that he ignored the table as soon as he read "dual Xeon". But when he asked for a "pointer or reference", I was expecting to see a URL which pointed to some additional benchmarks. I did not notice any URL's in any of your replies in this thread. Did you think that you had included a URL in some reply, or were you referring to the above benchmark? Or did I just miss the reply which included that URL? Mind you, the above benchmark is very encouraging, so I am not complaining about it. I am only wondering if there were additional benchmarks written up. Well, I am also wondering what the reason is for both a "desired" and "optimal" column in the above. When would "desired" ever be different than "optimal"? :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Oct 7 20:07:21 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 254BE16A4CE for ; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 20:07:21 +0000 (GMT) Received: from out2.smtp.messagingengine.com (out2.smtp.messagingengine.com [66.111.4.26]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D08FB43D1D for ; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 20:07:20 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from list-freebsd-2004@morbius.sent.com) X-Sasl-enc: 6Idek5BOmK91lagxeGbf0w 1097179637 Received: from modem-1660.llama.dialup.pol.co.uk (modem-1660.llama.dialup.pol.co.uk [217.135.182.124]) by frontend1.messagingengine.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9A1B2C2FC10 for ; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 16:07:17 -0400 (EDT) From: "R.

Feedback welcome! Try xfce4. XCFe started life as a CDE clone, but the later versions are quite configurable, and it's more lightweight than Gnome or KDE. Personally I don't much like Gnome on BSD or Gentoo because I've had a lot of bad experiences building and updating it. KDE takes a bit longer to upgrade, but it's usually straightforward.

Put another machine on the subnet of your external interface, and do an nmap scan from there.

Thanks! 1) apcupsd does not currently support USB connections for FreeBSD. 2) There is a _beta_ version - availiable at "http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5525131&forum_id=26961" that may work. If you can afford to install and test this version, please do so as it will not be added to main apcupsd code-base and therefore not be part of the port until more testing occurs.

If it "should" work, then I have things either misconfigured or tightened down too much. Connecting a machine to the public subnet won't work for me. My ISP uses PPPoe, I have one static IP assigned to my firewall's MAC address. I tried it, just to see if it would assign the other machine a dynamic IP if I made a PPPoe connection, but it doesnt. I tried ShieldsUp website, but it did not work from links (gui-less).

It may be that he ignored the table as soon as he read "dual Xeon". -------------------------------------------- I haven't seen this before. If I did, I would immediately ask: - What is the control here? What does your "benchmark" test? - Is this on a gigabit link? What are the packet sizes? Was network availability a factor in limiting the test results? - What does "target load" mean? Does it mean don't try to send more than that? If so, what does it show if you reach it? If you don't measure the utilization that it takes to saturate your "target" I don't see the point of having it. - It seems that the only thing you could learn from this test would be what is the maximum pps you could achieve unidirectionally out of a system. Why is that useful, since its hardly ever the requirement unless you're building a traffic generator? - a relatively slow machine (a 1.7Ghz celeron with a 32-bit/33mhz fxp NIC running 4.9) pushes over 250Kpps, so why is your machine, with seemingly superior hardware, so slow? - the test seems backwards. What you are doing in this test is not something that any device does. If you want to measure user-space performance, it has to include receive and transmit response, not just transmit. Perhaps it indirectly shows process-switching performance, but doesn't tell you very much about network performance, since transmit is much more trivial than receive in terms of processing requirements. When you transmit you know exactly what you have, when you receive you have to do a lot of checking and testing to see what needs to be done. When I test network performance, I want to isoloate kernel performance if possible. If you're evaluating the system for use as a network device (such as a router, a bridge, a firewall, etc), you have to eliminate userland from the formula. The interaction between user space and the kernel is a key factor in your "benchmark" that is absent in a pure network device, so its not useful in testing pure stack performance. Also, there is a significant problem with "maximum packets/second" tests. As you reach high levels of saturation, you often get abnormal processing requirements that skew the results. For example as you get higher and higher bus saturations the processing requirements change, as I/Os take longer waiting for access to the bus, transmit queues may fill, etc. Testing under such unusual conditions may inlcude abnormal recovery code to handle such saturations that would never occur with a machine under "normal" loads. A better way to test is measuring utilization under realistically normal conditions. Machines can get very inefficient if their recovery code is poor, but it may not matter since no-one realistically runs a machine at 98% utilization. Assuming that your benchmark does test something, Your "results" seem to show that a uniprocessor machine is substantially more efficient than an SMP box. It also seems that the gap has widened between UP and SMP performance in 5.x. Wasn't one of the goals of 5.x to substantially improve SMP performance? This seems to show the opposite.

Now for some reason, my 4521 (and my iBook with regular AirPort, also BSD based??) favor the wireless ISP's connection over my own LinkSys access point. The ISP's antenna runs on channel 1 and consistently has a stronger signal than my own AP (channel 6). I have tried changing my own AP's channel to no avail. Each time I issue the commands to associate with my AP the 4521 merely connects to the ISP rather than my specified SSID. If I check wicontrol or ifconfig it reports that the desired netname is my AP, but the current netname always ends up to be the ISP's AP. This is extremely irritating. I recently got a wireless card (NL-2511CD Plus EXT2 802.11b PCMCIA by SENAO) w/ the prism 2.5 chipset, and the aforementioned problem is only with this card. My older card (a 3com 3CRWE737A PCMCIA) works *relatively* well, but I wanted to upgrade so... Has anyone had this problem, and does anyone have a suggestion to fix it?

Sometimes they attempt to brute-force their way in trying new logins every second or so for hours at a time. Given enough time, I fear they will eventually get in. Is there anything I can do to hinder them? I'd like to ban the IP after 50 failed attempts or something. I'd heard that each failed attempt from a source was supposed to make the daemon respond slower each time, thus limiting the usefulness of brute force attacks, but I'm not seeing that behavior.

You can see from the data that 5.x systems are capable of pushing out more packets from userland than 4.x systems are. That's an aspect of kernel performance, and it's one that's relevant for a number of applications involving high data-rate transmission from userland. If that's not what you're interested in, then you can go and run your own benchmarks and let us know what you find out. > - a relatively slow machine (a 1.7Ghz celeron with a 32-bit/33mhz > fxp NIC running 4.9) pushes over 250Kpps, so why is your machine,=20 > with seemingly superior hardware, so slow?

Yes, and it's ongoing. You don't see it on this workload, but there are other benchmarks (e.g. mysql select testing) that I don't have to hand at the moment, which show the smp benefits of 5.3 more clearly. > This seems to show the opposite. No, it shows a small increase on SMP and a large increase on UP. Anyway, weren't you demanding an email ago that I produce benchmarks on UP systems, because no-one really uses SMP?

If it only has a single plex, you're in trouble. In that case, you need your recovery company to get an image of the failed disk. Then you should put it on a similar disk, create a configuration entry and perform some other incantations, and you should be up and running again. If you have two or more plexes, you shouldn't need to do any of this. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

The Solaris systems share an NIS map (auto.nfs) that looks like users host:/mountpoint/something/& which gets translated (somehow) by the Solaris automount to look like /nfs/users host:/mountpoint/something/users But I can't figure out the incantation to get amd.conf to use that. I've tried [ /nfs ] map_type = nis map_name = auto.nfs and map_type of nisplus (which didn't work). The entry I'm trying to tickle is: # ypcat -k auto.nfs | grep user user west:/export/user The error I'm getting in the log is: Oct 7 15:47:42 appseng1 amd[536]: key user: No value component in "west:/export/user" Oct 7 15:47:42 appseng1 amd[536]: No fs type specified (key = "user", map = "auto.nfs") It feels like there's some magic bit I'm missing.

I forget where in /etc it is, but look into setting up something that allows a certian number of failed logins before locking that IP/term out for a few minutes.... and if it is constantly from the same place look into calling their ISP or the like.

This last time it was while doing an rsync between an internal drive and an external USB drive. But other times it's been random. Regardless, forced to do a reset, it then won't start XFree86. Sometimes unloading, rebuilding, and reinstalling the nvidia driver helps, sometimes not. Sometimes it takes several tries. When it hangs, it might hang on the nvidia splash screen, a white screen, or (like right now) still in terminal mode after startx before it even switches to graphical. This time I can't get it to go back into XFree86 no matter how many times I rebuild the nvidia driver, so I'm looking elsewhere. I even tried portupgrade -f XFree86* but no go. All along I've been using the FreeBSD AGP. I'm thinking maybe I need to try nvidia's (some people swear one way, some the other... if only there was consensus!). So I try rebuilding my kernel w/o "device agp". Except the kernel build bombs at a weird point. Unable to find any reference to other people failing there, I suspect a corrupt /usr/src (perhaps due to one of my many lockups). So I rm -R and re-cvsup it. Then the build works. I also made sure that agp_load="YES" was commented out of my /boot/loader.conf file. Well, upon rebooting I still see agp loading, confirmed w/ kldstat. So I try uncommenting the line but changing it to "NO". Reboot, same thing. I do some more research, and try adding hint.agp.0.disabled="1" to my /boot/device.hints file. Reboot, but AGP is still loading. Argh. I can't even use kldunload to remove it. Ok, I appeal for help now. What's the proper way to keep AGP from loading so that I can test my nvidia driver using the nvidia AGP and see if that's even the sources of my XFree86 lockup problems? I need my desktop back. I'm on FreeBSD 5.2.1. Thanks!

What I did was to only allow access to one machine through my firewall for the ssh connections (ipfw limit). 2 per source address. And, for that one machine, I changed the sshd port to a different number. I was getting the same brute force attacks but they have dropped to nil since. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I am going to upgrade one of my systems from 5.2.1P9 to 5.3Beta7. I have cvsup'd the source and when checking UPDATING I came across this: 20041001: The following libraries had their version number bumped up: /lib/libm.so.2 -> libm.so.3 /lib/libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5 /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 -> libhistory.so.5 /usr/lib/libopie.so.2 -> libopie.so.3 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.2 -> libpcap.so.3 FreeBSD 4.10 versions of these libraries will be added to the compat4x collection. If you expect to be able to run old 4.X executables you will need to remove the old versions of these libraries. However note that any 5.X executables you have built will stop working once you remove those old libraries. You should have all your ports/packages rebuilt before removing the old libraries. I had seen some discussion rearding this on the list and had made a note in my head. Am I reading this correct that before I build/install world, I should do a portupgrade -a ??? All of my ports are the latest according to portversion. I just wanted to check before I went any further.

No, that won't affect things. After you installworld, you should add the libmap entries as above, and then at your later convenience you can portupgrade -af to rebuild all ports so you can remove the mapping. kris --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBZg2SWry0BWjoQKURAvXYAKDAKdbUXxs3CiJchRet28PU/lzsgQCgpXvH eZKnPRmRL7NQhkx88278TVo= =VmKI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 8 04:35:19 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A91A016A4CE for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 04:35:19 +0000 (GMT) Received: from ms-smtp-03-eri0.socal.rr.com (ms-smtp-03-qfe0.socal.rr.com [66.75.162.135]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5C13C43D1D for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 04:35:19 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from hoe-waa@hawaii.rr.com) Received: from ms-mss-01 ([10.10.4.10])i984ZGuY009886 for ; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 21:35:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from socal.rr.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ms-mss-01.socal.rr.com (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.21 (built Sep 8 2003)) with ESMTP id <0I5900DJK0QS7I@ms-mss-01.socal.rr.com> for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 07 Oct 2004 21:35:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [10.10.6.205] (Forwarded-For: [66.8.190.99]) by ms-mss-01.socal.rr.com (mshttpd); Thu, 07 Oct 2004 18:35:16 -1000 Date: Thu, 07 Oct 2004 18:35:16 -1000 From: hoe-waa@hawaii.rr.com To: Kris Kennaway Message-id: <42121042660b.42660b421210@socal.rr.com> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: iPlanet Messenger Express 5.2 HotFix 1.21 (built Sep 8 2003) Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="Boundary_(ID_kVuoJDniV/wJlGMJQZccdg)" Content-language: en X-Accept-Language: en Priority: normal X-Virus-Scanned: Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: moving from 5.2.1 to 5.3Beta?

Yeah, I don't think I have ever seen one on mine ever since I moved it behind nat and forwarded it from a odd port.

Text below is from /usr/X11/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README. hint.agp.0.disabled="1" If you're using FreeBSD 5.2.1 or another -CURRENT kernel that does not yet offer this functionality, the following patch will enable it: /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/agp.ko-hints.diff My 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4 didn't support it without patching, I'll have to check but I don't think I used it in the end. Does your XF86Config contain the following entries in 'Section "Device"': Driver "nvidia" Option "NvAGP" "1" I'm pretty sure this (the 'Option "NvAGP" "1"') is what did it in the end for me. If it doesn't appear to work, don't forget to verify which config X is using by checking your XFree86.0.log or :0.log for the line: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" Wayne From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 8 05:37:46 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3E79116A4CE for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 05:37:46 +0000 (GMT) Received: from dnsmail2.ior.navy.mil (nocb.ior.navy.mil [205.56.210.195]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8338043D55 for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 05:37:42 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from JohnsoBS@vicksburg.navy.mil) Received: from cg69ubd01.vicksburg.navy.mil ([205.95.65.21]) i985ZTFn029523; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 05:35:33 GMT Received: by CG69UBD01 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) id ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 08:40:35 +0300 Message-ID: From: JohnsoBS@vicksburg.navy.mil To: davemac11@yahoo.com, LukeD@pobox.com Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 08:40:30 +0300 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Protecting SSH from brute force attacks X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2004 05:37:46 -0000 > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave McCammon [mailto:davemac11@yahoo.com] > Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 4:46 AM > To: LukeD@pobox.com > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Protecting SSH from brute force attacks > > > > --- Vulpes Velox wrote: > > > On Thu, 7 Oct 2004 15:15:25 -0700 (PDT) > > Luke wrote: > > > > > There are several script kiddies out there hitting > > my SSH server > > > every day.

I also delete every binary minus the tools needed to ssh into the host and other jails I have setup. I ssh to my jail ip's internally and nat ports as needed from the external. I am pretty secure even if they do gain access to the public sshd, and I think once they do if ever break into that, the box is fairly well still secure. > > > > _______________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! > http://vote.yahoo.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 Fri Oct 8 06:37:00 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 972CB16A4CF for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 06:37:00 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com (mail.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com [65.75.192.90]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ED39743D3F for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 06:36:59 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from tedm@toybox.placo.com) Received: from tedwin2k (nat-rtr.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com [65.75.197.130]) i986aqq88437; Thu, 7 Oct 2004 23:36:53 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tedm@toybox.placo.com) From: "Ted Mittelstaedt" To: "Kris Kennaway" , Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 23:36:52 -0700 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.6604 (9.0.2911.0) In-Reply-To: <20041007223348.GA22413@xor.obsecurity.org> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1441 Importance: Normal cc: questions@freebsd.org cc: drosih@rpi.edu Subject: RE: What version of FBSD does Yahoo run?

Apart from what was already noted here it may be a good idea to not use PasswordAuthentication at all, you can disable it in the sshd_config. Personally preferred solution would be public key authentication, but there are other options as well. No passwords used -> no passwords can be brute-forced. HTH, - D.

I have tried that by setting it to 2, but it seems to have no effect on the sshd login behaviour. I always can try the password 6 times: $ ssh myname@my.own.pc Password: Password: Password: myname@my.own.pc's password: Permission denied, please try again. myname@my.own.pc's password: Permission denied, please try again. myname@my.own.pc's password: Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). $ So could you be a little more specific as to where login.conf is of help here?

I was going to say that the passwords are one-way encrypted. Now, whether you could open /etc/master.passwd with vi/vim or some other editor, and use a cut and paste method for your users, I don't know if that would be successful or not. It might open a really big can of worms. At this point in time, I would say, your best bet would be to save the master.passwd, group and any other files you feel would be necessary (useful), at least you have something to get information from. If I have to reinstall from scratch, the only thing I'm really concerned with is: /home doesn't get overwritten. With only two users, it's not a problem for me to just re-add the users, as long as I do it in the right order. With two users that's not difficult. By the time 5.3 is released, there may be a method to upgrade everything Don -- Donald J. O'Neill donaldj1066@fastmail.fm This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service. Hi Donald, Thank you for your reply. /usr/home is mounted on a separate drive, so during the install process I will just choose to leave this as it is, and reset the mount point for it. I have asked users to back up their files off the system, and as this is a non-essential system (It simply holds peoples outlook .pst files on the network) I am not that bothered if I loose the data to be honest lol. Just wondering though, does 5.3 have the same specifications for user logins? i.e. If I copy the relevant user details over from my original master.passwd and paste into the new one, edit /etc/login.conf to match my existing one (user class and file size etc), and rebuild the database, will they still be valid?

Last time I tried to do anything like that, it was in a mixed environment of FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris and a couple of Irix boxes. Apart from FreeBSD, they all understood autofs and could mount stuff happily using NIS maps. Unfortunately I never could get FreeBSD to understand those maps and translate them into what amd wanted. Ended up having a separate amd mount map just for the FreeBSD boxes -- which was a pain, but not too much of one since the FreeBSD boxes were generally the doing DNS, DHCP, firewalling and (ironically) NIS serving: no need to NFS mount mouch at all. On the other hand, there is this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-September/03678= 6.html http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D1001154+0+/usr/local/www/= db/text/2004/cvs-all/20040905.cvs-all so there will be autofs support in 5.3-RELEASE.

I had to alter some settings but it worked fine and I can access the internet. I got a hostname from the network and everytime I start Freebsd, it searches for that hostname. However, I will use my laptop now from home where we have a cable broadband connection. With a router/switch I want to access the internet now from my home. But how do I accomplish this? Which files should I edit and what should I put there? I guess my router will be put after the cable modem and I want to give the two pc's I have a fixed IP adress. Can someome help me with this? How do I do that? What about the hostname the machine now got automatically? How do I remove it or alter it to suit my own needs? I don't know which files to edit.

The former is more likely. The documentation is the one that (most of the time) has to be fixed to match the current state of the code, not vice versa.

I have real ethernet comming into my house, and all my machines have public IP-addresses which are handed out by a DHCP server outside of my control. Since my ISP have started to enforce soft bandwidth limiting, with the consequence of losing my connection for 48 hours if exceeded, I need some mean to count my traffic. Only traffic outside the subnet is counted. I therefore thought I could put another FreeBSD machine between my switch and the internet, which counts traffic (and also acts as a firewall). However, I can not afford to get another box to do this. So I thought I could use the server. I also want to put a wireless card in the firewall to allow me to move around with my laptop. Something like this: Internet | | | --------------- | fxp0 | | | -------------- | FBSD Server | ) ) ) | Laptop | | | 802.11 | FreeBSD | | fxp1 | -------------- --------------- | ---------- | Switch | ---------- | ------------------------------- | | | ----------------- | ----------------- | Workstation 1 | | | Workstation 2 | | FreeBSD | | | Windows | ----------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | Friend's server | | FreeBSD | ------------------- I'd like the possibility to have the workstations on the public internet (with public IP-addresses handed out by my ISP's DHCP sever). I must admit I'm out of my league here, but I guess I'd like the FBSD server to be invisible for the workstations and the backup server, but still be able analyse the IP-traffic. Is this possible? Does this kind of setup have a name, for which I can google? If this is impossible, I guess I could setup NAT on the server/firewall, and forward a couple of ports to the server behind the firewall. The issue is that all the traffic needs to be counted, and at least two machines needs to be visible on the public internet. Additionally I'd like to have a wireless connection for my laptop. I guess an ad-hoc setup would do for this?

This is still only one *connection* - sshd will offer you (or anyone else who can connect) a certain number of chances to prove your identity. Login.conf can't help with this. You can configure sshd to stop offering the keyboard-interactive auth method - set ChallengeResponseAuthentication no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and HUP the daemon. You will no longer see the first three Password: prompts. Login.conf can help you to limit the number of successive login attempts. Make sure you run "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf" whenever you edit the file, or you will not enable your changes.

I cvsupped src (4.10-STABLE) yesterday and built the world and kernel. I've stripped out just about everything else I can from the kernel: usb, firewire, apm, serial port, //l port, PCMCIA, other RAID/SCSI/network drivers. The kernel has dummynet support. I have tried option HZ=x, for x=1000, 200, 100 but network response is sluggish. I haven't specifically referred to any dummynet features in my ipfw ruleset. When I type quickly I can run several characters ahead of the display, which jerks along behind. Display output, e.g. when compiling the kernel, is also jerky. From the console the response is crisp. Both the switch to which the box is connected (a Cisco Catalyst) and the fxp network driver are hard-coded to 100baseTX full-duplex. netstat -m: 70/480/26624 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 66 mbufs allocated to data 4 mbufs allocated to packet headers 64/128/6656 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 376 Kbytes allocated to network (1% of mb_map in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines It must be something, but I have no idea what to look {at,for}/what to tune. It's the first time I've built dummynet, first time I've used a box with more than two CPUs and I wonder if there might be some sort of contention happening. Thanks for any clues I can use.

Have you put: saslauthd_enable=3D"YES" into /etc/rc.conf? You need to do that (or the equivalent) for any port that uses rc.subr (a.k.a rcNG) for it's startup script or else that service won't be started. Otherwise, everything you show looks good to me.

Both the switch to which the box is connected (a Cisco Catalyst) and the fxp network driver are hard-coded to 100baseTX full-duplex. netstat -m: 70/480/26624 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 66 mbufs allocated to data 4 mbufs allocated to packet headers 64/128/6656 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 376 Kbytes allocated to network (1% of mb_map in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines It must be something, but I have no idea what to look {at,for}/what to tune. It's the first time I've built dummynet, first time I've used a box with more than two CPUs and I wonder if there might be some sort of contention happening. Thanks for any clues I can use.

My understanding is that many of the watchdog timeouts were bugs that resulted from some of the new work being done to the network stack, and most (if not all) are fixed in 5.3 -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 8 12:31:03 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 38D8A16A4CE for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 12:31:03 +0000 (GMT) Received: from fri.itea.ntnu.no (fri.itea.ntnu.no [129.241.7.60]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ED3E143D39 for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 12:31:02 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from svein-freebsd-questions@theloosingend.net) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by fri.itea.ntnu.no (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6D46A7F5F for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 14:31:01 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mirrorball.thelosingend.net (m069c.studby.ntnu.no [129.241.130.69]) by fri.itea.ntnu.no (Postfix) with SMTP for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 14:31:01 +0200 (CEST) Received: (qmail 65753 invoked by uid 1001); 8 Oct 2004 12:31:01 -0000 Received: from localhost (sendmail-bs@127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 8 Oct 2004 12:31:01 -0000 Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 14:31:01 +0200 (CEST) From: Svein Halvor Halvorsen X-X-Sender: sveinhal@mirrorball.thelosingend.net To: David Jenkins In-Reply-To: <9395922d04100803011bd5a6c3@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <20041008141454.K56926@mirrorball.thelosingend.net> References: <20041008111716.F17766@mirrorball.thelosingend.net> <9395922d04100803011bd5a6c3@mail.gmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Content-Scanned: with sophos and spamassassin at mailgw.ntnu.no. cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Network setup X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: questions@freebsd.org List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2004 12:31:03 -0000 [David Jenkins, 2004-10-08] : > I *think* you might need to setup a network bridge. > > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/filtering-bridges/index.html > > Hope this helps.

I have a question for you. I have installed FreeBS 5.2.1-RELEASEp9 in my computer. I also upgraded my ports, compiled and installed the following ports: latex2html-2002.2.1_3 Convert LaTeX documents to HTML teTeX-2.0.2_2 Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends latex2html seems to work fine but it does not process formulas. Perhaps this example is a little too large, but... Example: ---test.tex------ \documentclass{article} \begin{document} $\sin(x)$ \end{document} ---end of test.tex---- Michelle:/home/mrspock/tex> latex2html test --- it was properly processed but, at the end: --- *** processing 1 images *** Generating postscript images using dvips ... This is dvips(k) 5.92b Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2004.10.07:1523' -> /tmp/l2h879/image (-> /tmp/l2h879/image001) [1] Converting image #1 pstoimg: Error: "/usr/local/bin/ppmquant -floyd 256 < /tmp/l2h879/p892.pnm | /usr/local/bin/pnmtopng -interlace -trans '#ffffff' > img1.png" failed: Error while converting image Doing section links ...... Done. -------- Now, "pstoimg" is a function in /usr/local/bin that was installed by latex2html. "pnmtopng" was installed by "netpbm-10.24"... and it seems that it is being called with a pair of parameters that does not seem to work. Does anybody know if there is a solution for this? Thanks in advance. Eduardo. PS. Please reply to my e-mail address, I'm not subscribed to the list.

This is what I did. 1. installed the port from /usr/ports/www/phpwiki 2. copied /usr/local/www/data-dist/phpwiki to my html data directory 3. installed mysql server and client ports 4. installed php4-mysql port 5. used the instructions at /usr/local/share/doc/phpwiki/ and http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/06/05/wiki.html to configure mysql 6. edited phpwiki/index.php to activate the mysql stuff 7. followed the instructions at http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions and added foreach ($_REQUEST as $k => $v) $$k = $v; if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) $QUERY_STRING = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) $PHP_AUTH_USER = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']; if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) $PHP_AUTH_PW = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']; to the top of index.php and admin.php. 8. restarted Apache and it (finally) seems to work. A bit longer and more involved than advertised, but an interesting puzzle.

When this morning I came to work everything had repaired itself.

Why would they customize a "beta", knowing that they'd just have to redo them when its released? I doubt they are that stupid. Also, If they've done substantial customization, then you really need to stop touting them as "using FreeBSD", don't you, since they are not using whats available to everyone else.

Very convenient. The entire point of "believability" is the control, and the explanation of what the test actually tests. Thats the point of having a control, Ted. The test that was posted is not "believable" because it doesnt test anything that would actually happen in the real world. Do you buy a car because it hit 180 on the track? Is a car that can hit 190 but gets half the gas milage a better car? You guys are the ones making the claims that 5.3 is "going to be so great".

You must be a democrat Kris, because you always spin what people say in a way such that is completely wrong when you say it. I said "the 99% of us who don't use SMP", which is much different from "no one uses SMP", isn't it? 1% of several million is not "no-one", is it? Frankly, I didnt expect SMP performance to be so poor in 5.x since improving it is a stated goal. So I guess you recommend that anyone running a network server use a single processor? Are the gains in mySQL greater that the 40% loss in network performance? When mySQL is performaning so aptly, is the machine capable of handling a network load also? You (Kris) seem to think I'm asking you these questions, but I'm really not, but I guess I'm surprised you keep answering since you clearly don't have any of the answers. I'm just hoping someone does, somewhere. Because I don't see how you can develop an O/S without benchmarking your specific changes along the way. The folks at LINUX are guilty of building an O/S to suit their benchmarks. Its equally disturbing to implement theory without making sure that the theory works as expected. I just hope that pounding packets through a socket and timing mySQL selects aren't the entirety of your team's arsenal.

TM is saying he doesn't like people claiming it's going to be great when there's no release yet. Kris posted benchmarks showing things have improved and he has reason to believe it will be better. TM replies not with his own benchmarks, but basically saying he refuses to test anything until it's released and that no one should claim it's better until it's marked as a "release" version. So conclude by saying that there is reason to believe the next version will be better, "Here's why", and that you can have the drawn out fight over performance benchmarks up the wazoo after the release is actually...well...released. TM won't be happy until it reaches this status anyway so there's no use in arguing it if only benchmarking "release" versions is one of the requirements for the argument to come to a conclusion. :-) -Bart From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 8 16:09:38 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2068B16A4CE; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 16:09:38 +0000 (GMT) Received: from audiogram.mail.pas.earthlink.net (audiogram.mail.pas.earthlink.net [207.217.120.253]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD94D43D31; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 16:09:37 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from algould@datawok.com) Received: from 31-21.lctv-ubr2-blk1.cablelynx.com ([206.255.31.21] helo=[192.168.63.10]) by audiogram.mail.pas.earthlink.net with asmtp (TLSv1:RC4-MD5:128) (Exim 4.34) id 1CFxJJ-0004vH-GK; Fri, 08 Oct 2004 09:09:37 -0700 From: "Andrew L.

You can combine this with the port ipa if you like. Ipfw counts the traffic but loses this at reboots or commands on the console. You can setup rules for certain cases. Cut bandwith of users if they used to much and such. If you use mrtg, then you could make graphs of this. I have an example of all of this on my website. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

The video card is ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9100IGP, and the memory is 64MB shared from RAM.I installed FreeBSD 4.10 RELEASE. I have tried through /stand/sysinstall with all the tools, but no luck. Only with xf86config , with one specific combination , it opens XServer but with extremely low resolution that shows only the upper right part of the screen and no virtual screen. One person has send me his file cause he has the same machine but didnt work. Any help is welcome. Thank you, George, _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

It wouldn't be too difficult at all to even roll their own release, with all their custom patches, or set up their own source repo with the patches in place and do cvsup et al from their own servers. There are lots of possibilities; the fact that I don't necessarily know what they all are doesn't negate the probability that they exist. >I would think most of the mods would be in the apps running on the OS. Can't say on that one. FBSD, IIRC and didn't misunderstand, runs a customized Apache, so it's not out of the realm of reason either.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from freebsd-questions-request@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/me@me.org (obviously, substitute your mail address for "me@me.org"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/en/books/faq/index.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. When sending a new message, well, send a new message. Don't reply to some other message, erase the old content and change the subject line. That leaves an In-reply-to: header which many mail readers use to thread messages, so your message shows up as a reply to some other message. People often delete messages a whole thread at a time, so apart from irritating people, you also run a chance of having the message deleted unread. 4. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. For further information on this subject, check out http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 5. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 6. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 7. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 8. If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 9. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to follow up to a question ================================= Often you will want to send in additional information to a question you have already sent. The best way to do this is to reply to your original message. This has three advantages: 1. You include the original message text, so people will know what you're talking about. Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out, though. 2. The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to put one in, didn't you?). Many mailers will sort messages by subject. This helps group messages together. 3. The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the previous message. Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages, showing the exact relationships between the messages. VI: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure you understand the question? Very frequently, the person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express himself very well. Even with the best understanding of the system, it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question. This doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question more frustrated or confused than ever. If nobody else answers, and you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more information. 5. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 6. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the FreeBSD-questions are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which is of general interest off the list, you're depriving these people of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. 7. Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what you're talking about. 8. Use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending ``> '' to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ``> '' and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. 9. Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where each reply comes before the text to which it replies. 10. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as ``Re: ''. If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. 11. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), please fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as ``HELP!!??''), change the subject line to (say) ``Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)''. That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like. $Id: Howto-ask-questions,v 1.5 2004/09/19 02:40:48 grog Exp $ _______________________________________________ Thanks to Josh Paetzel for updating this document to describe mailman.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

Cvsup one machine from their local mirror of the "official" site, buildworld on it with their patches, make a release (or other strategy here) and feed it to their server farm ...

Try the following, in this order: - Reseat the floppy drive cable - Replace the floppy drive cable - Replace the floppy drive - Try a couple of newer/older FreeBSD versions (just the live CD should work fine) or even a different OS such as Knoppix or (heaven forbid) DOS.

By the time ppmquant gets the file input, the file, actually the /tmp/l2h* directory, has been already removed, resulting in the above it seems. Do "ktrace -di -f log latex2html file.tex ; kdump -n -f log | less". Then search for string "/tmp/l2h". You will see that directory is removed well before ppmquant get to do its thing. (Mind that i have not checked if any of the file handle(s) is retained, or retained file handle is not closed, before directory removal.)

Why don't you download and install the latest 5.3 beta and test it? This is the only way to test 5.3, as there is no "release" yet. If you refuse to test it due to its beta status, then you should probably reconsider your challenges until 5.3 is stable and you can test it for yourself.

I have since discovered that in fact some server packages, such as ImageMagick, in fact need XFree86-libraries-4 which uses /usr/X11R6. So I just cleaned that directory of gnome as best I could, re-installed XFree86-libraries-4, and I'm leaving it at that. /etc/X11 is empty now, except for my XF86Config which I will leave there to save me the hassle of reconfiguring if I ever decide to re-enable XFree86.

Measuring how much network traffic something sends is more complicated: counters kept at the application-level see different numbers than what actually goes out on the wire, due to collisions, lost packets, etc. Using a network sniffer or IPFW rule to monitor the traffic is likely to give a more meaningful result, depending on what you want to do. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 8 19:09:34 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AD2A316A4CE for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 19:09:34 +0000 (GMT) Received: from imf19aec.mail.bellsouth.net (imf19aec.mail.bellsouth.net [205.152.59.67]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0FAFF43D2F for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 19:09:34 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from chaosasj@bellsouth.net) Received: from [216.76.216.151] by imf19aec.mail.bellsouth.netESMTP <20041008190933.GYYV1786.imf19aec.mail.bellsouth.net@[216.76.216.151]> for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 15:09:33 -0400 Message-ID: <4166E622.9080705@bellsouth.net> Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2004 15:10:26 -0400 From: Andrew Jones User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7.3 (X11/20041003) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <1f9.7520fc.2e98121d@aol.com> In-Reply-To: <1f9.7520fc.2e98121d@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: What version of FBSD does Yahoo run?

At the prompt enter the following as root (without the quotes) or prepend sudo to it. "use.perl port" That has now set your system to use the 5.8 release of perl. Then follow the instructions for building the perl module. PS - Also, as previosuly mentioned by Paul, you will then need to rebuild all of your currently installed Perl modules - if you need to use them ...

Now we getin' somewhere.... Per the link provided by Robert, I did the followings: 1) re-compile/install the kernel by hashing the uhid device. # device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" 2) reboot the system to launch/verify (uname -a) the newer kernel 3) deinstall apcupsd which was previously installed from /usr/ports 4) download/install this newer beta apcupsd from the link provided with ./configure --enable-usb option. Perhaps, this option was not on as I noticed that I can not run apcupsd and got this error message: Most likely, you need to add --enable-usb to your ./configure options. 5) set DEVICE /dev/ugen0 in the apcupsd.conf 6) ran the apcupsd as follows: /sbin/apcupsd -f /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf --kill-on-powerfail 7) ran apcaccess and here is output: # apcaccess APC : 001,034,0871 DATE : Fri Oct 08 15:39:24 EDT 2004 HOSTNAME : host.domain.com RELEASE : 3.10.15 VERSION : 3.10.15 (26 August 2004) freebsd UPSNAME : host.domain.com CABLE : USB Cable MODEL : Back-UPS RS 1500 UPSMODE : Stand Alone STARTTIME: Fri Oct 08 15:19:58 EDT 2004 STATUS : ONLINE LINEV : 115.0 Volts LOADPCT : 10.0 Percent Load Capacity BCHARGE : 100.0 Percent TIMELEFT : 77.4 Minutes MBATTCHG : 5 Percent MINTIMEL : 3 Minutes MAXTIME : 0 Seconds LOTRANS : 097.0 Volts HITRANS : 132.0 Volts ALARMDEL : Always BATTV : 26.8 Volts NUMXFERS : 0 TONBATT : 0 seconds CUMONBATT: 0 seconds XOFFBATT : N/A SELFTEST : NO STATFLAG : 0x02000008 Status Flag MANDATE : 2004-03-20 SERIALNO : JB0412048005 BATTDATE : 2001-09-25 NOMBATTV : 24.0 FIRMWARE : .g8 .D USB FW:g8 APCMODEL : Back-UPS RS 1500 END APC : Fri Oct 08 15:39:26 EDT 2004 # 8) Next, unplugged the UPS from power outlet, and noticed STATUS : ONBATT besides many other factor chaning as time goes by. 9) I also ran apctest and ran all tests/date verifications etc. All passed. Next, I called APC, they are going to send me RJ45 <--> Serial cable for this UPS. Now I am debating to go with this setup or replace the above cable and run apcupsd from /usr/ports/sysutils and go serially. Thanks Robert again. This was not possible without your kind effort in locating the right resources. Special thanks goes to Adam Kropelin for bringing Beta apcupsd USB driver for FreeBSD. This document will be a good start for those who want to have USB based UPS hooked with FreeBSD OS. S.

The problem is that the first post on the subject of 5.xx performance was written in a very aggressively derogatory tone. In addition it exhibited quite a bit of ignorance of the process of bringing 5.xx in to being - a frequent topic on this list. In fact, hardly a day has gone by that hasn't had posts pointing out that 5.xx before 5.3 RELEASE is not ready for production. Many times it has been pointed out that it has inconsistencies that are still being worked out and debug code running that also affects how it runs. One would have to be either intentionally ignorant or intending to cause mischief to have "missed" all that. In the face of this, a very negative post that looks like an attempt to trash FreeBSD and the developers is very likely to ellicit some defensive responses as well as accusations of being a troll. After all, a troll is someone who jumps out from under his bridge and posts something just to get people mad and respond emotionally. Somebody with a real question and not trolling or with an axe to grind needs to ask the question as a question and not as an affront and challenge. Having said that, I would also say that those who found these posts an affront would be better off just shunning them rather than pumping up the rhetoric level. This has gone one long enough. No useful information seems to be forthcoming. I don't even remember who it was that started the OT thread. ////jerry > > Sorry to everybody else for the Bla Bla > > > In a message dated 10/8/04 2:37:38 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > > tedm@toybox.placo.com writes: > > Kris and all, > > > > Sorry for the top post but would you quit feeding the trolls? > > > > Ted Mittelstaedt > > > > PS: TM, shut up and post some benchmarks proving your side of > > the argument.

Was it a type that you excluded the initial slash (/) from etc/resolv.conf? resolv.conf is usually just 3 or 4 lines longs, so if for some strange reason it is missing you can always just create it. Put in one or two entries such as: nameserver nameserver # man resolv.conf Perhaps resolv.conf missing could be cause to invesitage whether your install went well, and if other things might be missing as well?

The ports version is much newer than the system version, and for what you want, you would want the port version of perl. However, I would *not* install a CPAN module in FreeBSD. I would use the ports system to install the module as well. You can use "locate" to find the port you need. > I am following the instructions here: > http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html > > Specifically at this step: > > perl Makefile.PL > > in my case, I would do use.perl port Makefile.pl?

This has *nothing* to do with installing a CPAN module. This is how you update perl on your system to a newer version than the base, system version. > Either way, I have tried both, and I get: > > mx1# /usr/local/bin/use.perl Makefile.PL > Usage: > /usr/local/bin/use.perl port -> /usr/bin/perl is the perl5 port > /usr/local/bin/use.perl system -> /usr/bin/perl is the system perl > mx1# > If you understand usage statements, this one is telling you the commands that are available for the use.perl script - port and system. If you want to use the ports version of perl, you type use.perl port. If you want to use the system version of perl, you type use.perl system ***at the commandline***. This has *nothing* to do with CPAN modules. However, once you've installed the ports version of perl, I would use the ports version of CPAN modules as well. You will have much less trouble that way. However, it's beginning to look like you have a lot of reading to do before you'll understand what I'm talking about.

I'm a little confused, though. Are you using DHCP? If so, the DHCP server _should_ set all this for you. (Although a DHCP server doesn't _have_ to set all this, it sure defeats the purpose if it doesn't) If you're not using DHCP to set the network information on the BSD machine, you'll need to manually add a "defaultrouter=" statement in /etc/rc.conf, and manually create /etc/resolv.conf (or you can use sysinstall to create them) -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 8 22:36:05 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ED09E16A4D1 for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 22:36:05 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp1.utdallas.edu (smtp1.utdallas.edu [129.110.10.12]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B4EEB43D4C for ; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 22:36:05 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from pauls@utdallas.edu) Received: from utd49554 (utd49554.utdallas.edu [129.110.3.85]) by smtp1.utdallas.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 749C9388CBF; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 17:36:05 -0500 (CDT) Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2004 17:36:20 -0500 From: Paul Schmehl To: Danny , David Jenkins Message-ID: <6BAC7420C8E22E5A9F0971B4@utd49554.utdallas.edu> In-Reply-To: References: <0F7C78308FE3BA2A1FF3EEE3@utd49554.utdallas.edu> <9395922d04100813344f950942@mail.gmail.com> <9395922d04100813475ad2f7f2@mail.gmail.com> X-Mailer: Mulberry/3.1.6 (Linux/x86) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline cc: FreeBSD-questions Subject: Re: How to update perl on FreeBSD 4.9R X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Paul Schmehl List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2004 22:36:06 -0000 --On Friday, October 08, 2004 05:14:00 PM -0400 Danny wrote: > > Stop in /home/danny/Date-Calc-Iterator-1.00. > mx1# > > Any suggestions?

LOL) > I've got pflogsumm running on a FreeBSD box, so I can guarantee you that it works, but I wouldn't go about it the way that you are. First, I would install the perl port - /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8. Then I would install Date::Calc - /usr/ports/devel/p5-Date-Calc. Then I would install any other modules needed from the ports system - use "locate" to find them. (For example, you can type %locate Calc to find the Date-Calc module.) Once the modules you need are installed, then pflogsumm should run just fine. Use the ports system. You'll have *much* less trouble getting things to compile and work for you. If you haven't used the ports system before, then you need to read up on that first. I usually cd to the port I want and then run "% make install clean" after reading the Makefile to see if there are any switches that I need to set. (Some ports seem to use "make options" to select the options you need, but some do not.) If you aren't familiar with the ports system, read the Handbook section on ports.

Try run this: perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC' This shows the paths which perl will look for modules, the old version paths should be included, mine is: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4 . So it is not necesary to reinstall all perl modules. If you need to toggle @INC the Perl manual recommends you to 'use lib'.

I don't have windows anymore and I'll not switch back to be able to play, but I'd like to know if it is possible at all to run the game on BSD. Perhaps winex ? I heard it is compiling OK now with several patches.. Also read people could run Diablo II and WarCraft III, so perhaps it's possible to play AoE with winex. Where can I get a working winex version for FreeBSD? (5.2.1-RELEASE) If any of you could make this game run on FreeBSD, I'd love to know how it was achieved.

You can do this by combining the firewall (ipfw rules) with the port ipa. I have a example of a combination of ipfw with ipa and mrtg (for graphs) on my website. It does include a bandwidth traffic shaper, and this needs one to recompile a new kernel. You don't need to do this. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

The easiest way is to recover the exact Vinum partition (drive) and copy it as it is onto a new Vinum drive with the same name. Then just do a 'setstate up' on the plex and subdisks.

Why don't you download and install the latest 5.3 beta and test it? This is the only way to test 5.3, as there is no "release" yet. If you refuse to test it due to its beta status, then you should probably reconsider your challenges until 5.3 is stable and you can test it for yourself. If this is the case, then all you're doing now is making noise ... and, yes, trolling. ------------------------- I haven't made any "challanges".

Ahh, you're trying to install a Perl module -- which, as luck would have it, has a FreeBSD port available. cd to ${PORTSDIR}/devel/p5-Date- Calc/ , type "make install", and watch it do its magic. This is the recommended approach when a Perl module already has a port ready (and, fortunately, Perl modules are among the simplest things for which one can make a port -- you can often have a fully working port in 5 minutes, if you're even slightly experienced with the porting process). It seems that you're unfamiliar with the FreeBSD Ports Tree; I highly recommend that you read the Handbook about it, lest you spend 24 hours straight trying to make a large amount of software work on FreeBSD out of ignorance ... (/me blushes a shade of red of which red delicious apples would be envious). Note, if it out and out refuses to install with the system's perl, you should file a PR about it mentioning such -- I don't see anything in the port's Makefile which mentions that it absolutely requires a version of Perl newer than the one that ships in the 4.X releases. And with Kris' recent port breaking spree in preparation for 5.3, I'm sure that it'd be marked as such (unless pointyhat has 'use.perl port', which would severely hamper Perl module testing). Further, if it doesn't work with the 5.005 version in the base system, you'll need to install a version from the ports. I highly recommend 5.8 for various reasons recently discussed in a thread on current@. --=-UA2ZFeFNeS3wrBBO1nTg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBZ1Opk/lo7zvzJioRApsYAKC0rYrqjSs9R5Txddxgi4A2jInofACfbsJu W1hroRiAc3gBufS+vVlfTRA= =GeWe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-UA2ZFeFNeS3wrBBO1nTg-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Oct 9 03:02:29 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A210616A4CE for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 03:02:29 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mproxy.gmail.com (rproxy.gmail.com [64.233.170.207]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2002643D1D for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 03:02:28 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bkeating@gmail.com) Received: by mproxy.gmail.com with SMTP id 75so165295rnk for ; Fri, 08 Oct 2004 20:02:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.38.13.47 with SMTP id 47mr375738rnm; Fri, 08 Oct 2004 20:02:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.39.1.6 with HTTP; Fri, 8 Oct 2004 20:02:28 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <1d54d5440410082002a847a8f@mail.gmail.com> Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 20:02:28 -0700 From: "Benjamin P.

One of the primary reasons is to make sure that the rest of the public distribution doesen't have bugs/problems with their customizations. That is the point of the betas. There's a time that the beta code must be run on production systems. If all you do as an enterprise is run the beta code on a testbed, then you are setting yourself up for unpleasant surprises when you then apply the new production release to your production network. Quite obviously you aren't going to put beta code on every one of your systems all at once. > I doubt they are that stupid. TM4525 you are frankly just too used to how beta code is treated in the Microsquash world. With Microsoft, nobody trusts their code at all, and beta Microsoft code even less. So, most people are afraid to run it on their production systems. In fact most big sites will wait until the first Service Pack comes out for the released code before switching over their production systems. It is really a big case of everyone standing around the boat saying "well it looks like the holes are plugged, you first" None of them are willing to get in, which is one of the reasons Microsoft first releases suck rocks. The other reason they suck rocks is that the developers in Microsoft fuck around for months playing foosball or whatever and wait until 2 months before going golden before actually working - then they work marathon sessions 24x7. With the UNIX world and FreeBSD in particular the organizations like Yahoo view the beta period as a time for them to get all the stuff they want injected into the source tree, to make their jobs easier. The only way to do this is to actually use the beta code on limited production. The ideal in the FreeBSD world is that the last weeks before going gold, there are only minor changes to the source - and that idea is quite often reached. You just need to get used to using an operating system that is used by professionals, not kids. > Also, If they've done > substantial > customization, then you really need to stop touting them as > "using FreeBSD", > don't you, since they are not using whats available to everyone else. > Substantial customization to what? Let's see now - let's look at the Linux world. Most Linux distros make mods to the Linux kernel but call their stuff Linux. Let's look at the UNIX world. Lots of UNIXes are based on the SVR4 source license and meet T.O.G.'s definition of UNIX - but are quite different (or would have you believe so) Where I think your confused is in the issue of branding. Years ago, lots of UNIX releases would call themselves "BSD" or SYSV variants. The terms BSD and SYSV were branding, not technical, terms. When UCB got out of the UNIX business and turned the BSD source over to the community, the original intent was to split BSD into 3 main arms - the i386 arm (FreeBSD) the non-Intel arm (NetBSD) and the commercial arm (BSDI) What has happened since is that BSDI died and went to heaven. NetBSD, while respectable, does not have the staff working on it to pull all the really cool customizations that have been done in FreeBSD, into it's code. They have enough to do porting to stuff like Mac Centrises. OpenBSD hardly deserves a mention as it's virtually identical to NetBSD with the exception of a code audit, and it has little installed base anyhow - probably less than NetBSD. That leaves FreeBSD as the flagship BSD. Because of this, gradually the term BSD has gone bye bye, to be replaced by FreeBSD. And why not? University of California Berkeley (UCB) hasn't touched BSD or FreeBSD in years. What is the point of parading around the BSD name when the college that this was from has so shamefully turned it's back on it? It's much better to focus around a new name that is an amalgamation of the old BSD name and the new efforts the user community has put in. As FreeBSD is being ported to new hardware, and as the old funky hardware that NetBSD ran on (like Mac Centrises) is going to the Great Graveyard in the Sky, the lines between the NetBSD and FreeBSD charter are being blurred. There will always be a place for NetBSD espically for systems that need to be kept simpler. But it is going to be a niche OS I am afraid - a good, valued, niche to be sure - while FreeBSD has the spotlight. In time, FreeBSD will end up serving as the birth bed of a whole new generation of UNIX's as more and more ports of it to new hardware are performed. Yahoo has as much right to the FreeBSD name as FreeBSD has to the BSD name. You might as well ask "you really need to stop touting FreeBSD as "using BSD" don't you, since it's not using the BSD-Lite that is available to everyone else" Ted PS I don't expect you to understand much of this by the way - it's not written for your benefit, but for everyone else's.

Your words: "I just hope that pounding packets through a socket and timing mySQL selects aren't the entirety of your team's arsenal." In other words you are in effect saying "your team's" when you are talking about the core group that is developing FreeBSD 5 - well aren't you using FreeBSD yourself? If so, you are a member of that team. Yet, your words say the FreeBSD team is not where you are at? if you considered yourself part of the FreeBSD userbase you would say something like: "I just hope that pounding packets through a socket and timing mySQL selects aren't the entirety of OUR team's arsenal." And it's not just this sentence although this is one of the most blatent. You are using verbage and terminology that clearly sets you in opposition to the rest of us, users and developers, of FreeBSD. If this isn't a challenge you don't know the meaning of the word. > My point was that there are a lot > of people making claims they have no ability to substantiate. And > obviously I am correct. > You yourself are coming from the assumption that all these people are wrong or misguided. Meaning that your assumption is that FreeBSD 5 is worse than 4. Yet you have not appeared to post anything even benchmarks that substantiates your claims that FreeBSD 5 is indeed slower. So put yourself into the same category as the folks that are claiming FreeBSD 5 is better. > A guess a "troll" is anyone who questiong the powers that be. Must be > a bunch of communists running the show here. The 'powers that be' in FreeBSD are the people contributing to it. If you want to have credibility which confers authority and therefore a small measure of what you would call "power" I guess then contribute something. To me the FreeBSD community isn't at all about power. If you want to see real, raw power then go work for a corporation and start making some decisions to spend lots of money, start hiring and firing people, start creating and destroying products. That's what power is all about - the ability to affect people's lives, directly, and in particular to make them do what they normally would not do. But, in the FreeBSD community power doesen't work like that at all. Even if you have a lot of money - none of these FreeBSD developers out here is going to take your money and work on something in FreeBSD that they dislike. That's not what they are here for. Instead, about the only measure of power that anyone has in the FreeBSD community is by their choice of whether to contribute or not. You choose to stand outside and throw rocks - well, your exercising a small amount of power yourself - because your NOT contributing anything of value. That lack of contribution means FreeBSD has a little bit less to it, which makes it a little bit less appealing. By contrast if you chose to create something for FreeBSD then your also exercising a little bit of power - because your contributing something of value, your making FreeBSD a bit more appealing which will help to attact more people to use it. Everyone in the FreeBSD community has this same bit of power. But what your missing is that the rock-throwers efforts rarely amount to much. Their best rock throwing is like branches scratching on the side of the house in the wind. By contrast the people that contribute to FreeBSD, well the more they contribute the more lives they affect and if your measuring power by the number of lives you affect, if you contribute a lot that will be a great many people indeed. So, sorry, but FreeBSD really doesen't have these "powers-that-be" which you seem to think it has. And as for a troll, that term is already well defined in many electronic forums.

One of the beauties of open source is the fact that it's available for you to test, read the code, hack, patch, fold, spindle and mutilate. If you expect people to take your counterclaims seriously, then you need to do some testing of your own. If you have a point to make, then back it up with data. If you cannot do this, then don't expect people to take you seriously, especially in a forum which is meant to be for technical help. The way you have approached this subject is not constructive. We have not learned anything from this exchange. However, we may have if you had meant for your comments to be constructive. I don't think you did. But if you want, I'd be more than happy to see your comparisons if you're willing to deal with this in a way which would benefit all parties concerned, by testing both systems, as thoroughly as you want. I'm quite interested in how the two systems size up. The more people that test it, the better. > A guess a "troll" is anyone who questiong the powers that be.

The situation is an Thinkpad T42 with a 60GB harddisk, XP as well preinstalled as a service partition. Repartitioning was unproblematic. If I try to install any of the 5.x branch on t a free primary partition I get a warning in sysinstall that a geometry of 116280/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. This is covered largely on the net with no clear cut solution. It seems to be related with FBSD and (relatively) large harddisks independent from multi- or single boot systems. If I try to install a 4.x branch release (4.9/4.10) no warning will be displayed. Someone remarked that this has not necessarily to be good luck, but may also destroy my partition. Could anyone shed further light on this situation and provide a guiding line how to get FBSD installed without destroying other OSs? Quite a long questions for a list like this.

I have a package/ports question that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on. I think the question belongs here rather than on a Gnome list, because it's related to the various types of installations available to FreeBSD, but if I should go over to a Gnome list, please let me know. I've done the installation several times in different ways, beginning with installing everything from a CD I burned from an ISO image (4.9, because I can't get past the boot on later versions, which is a different issue). When I installed Gnome directly from /stand/sysinstall, either from the disk or via FTP, it went relatively quickly. More recently, I decided to look at getting a completely (?) current installation. This is a sandbox system, so I did a minimal installation from formatting the drive on up using FTP as a source, then installed and ran cvsup (without gui) with ports-all configuration. Then I installed portupgrade, did a "pkgdb -F", and then ran "portupgrade -Pra". I installed XFree86 using "pkg_add -r XFree86" and it took a little longer than when I had installed if from sysinstall, but it didn't seem like a lot. Then I executed "pkg_add -r gnome2". 24 hours later, it's still running. I'm not super-concerned, but I'm trying to understand what the differences are between the original, from the CD, installation and this one. It's a slow machine (300MHz Pentium 2) so I don't expect stellar performance, but it seems rather long.

If the installer sees your existing XP and manufacturer service partitions, and they seem OK in terms of size, most likely everything is fine and you can ignore the warning about the geometry being incorrect. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Oct 9 13:36:26 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5848516A4CE for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 13:36:26 +0000 (GMT) Received: from linares.terra.com.br (linares.terra.com.br [200.154.55.228]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 18DE743D58 for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 13:36:26 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from vhbilouro@terra.com.br) Received: from paramonga.terra.com.br (paramonga.terra.com.br [200.154.55.133]) by linares.terra.com.br (Postfix) with ESMTP id 86032DDC757 for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 10:36:24 -0300 (BRT) Received: from [192.168.1.5] (201008083066.user.veloxzone.com.br [201.8.83.66]) (authenticated user vhbilouro) by paramonga.terra.com.br (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1CC503C031 for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 10:36:24 -0300 (BRT) Message-ID: <4167BD27.8050403@terra.com.br> Date: Sat, 09 Oct 2004 10:27:51 +0000 From: Victor Hugo Bilouro User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040920 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Perl and OpenWebMail question...

Then I executed "pkg_add -r gnome2" I have not had much luck installing large collections of packages with the pkg_add -r. Unless I am using a ports tree that was included in an official release the resulting installation is out of sync. with my ports tree. I have much better results using portsupgrade. Portupgrade derives the package version from the port collection while pkg_add -r seem to download the package from the lastest release. Since you have just cvsup the most recent ports tree the packages you are installing may not be the same version as what you have in you ports tree. Run portsversion -v | less to verify the package you are installing are in sync. with your ports. I am not sure why it is taking so long to install your ports. Do you have a fast internet connection? When installing binary packages your internet connection is going to be what dictates the speed of the install not your processor.

This can be compaired with the Debian apt-get. You can find more information about this in the handbook that you can find at www.freebsd.org/handbook. As to you're question. I didn't find these games in the ports. If these games exist for linux then you can rum them on FreeBSD by enable the linux support. You could also install wine (although you may need a windows partion for this) or vmware (you _don't_ need a windows partion for this). These are in the ports. You can install these by: cd /usr/ports/emulators/wine; make install && make clean cd /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3; make install && make clean -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

What seems strange between 4.x and 5.x in the fdisk partition table is, after deleting the slice yet to install FBSD and create a FBSD slice 4.x simple deletes and creates the slice, 5.x adds an additional unused "slice".

It's also worth pointing out that you really want to do the copy with dump(8) and restore(8) to get file flags and special files copied properly...

It looks like you're running 5.2.1. Are you using the ports that came with that release, or something more current?=20=20 If you are in fact running FreeBSD 5.2.1, you should be able to edit the file /usr/ports/emulators/wine/Makefile and remove the "USE_GCC" line.

I'm thinking of something where all inbound and outbound communications would need to be approved before being sent. Maybe it could be as easy as having postfix deliver me a copy of what they're sending. From what I've seen, this is a question that tends to drift off topic quickly. Please only technical replies, no philosophical, first amendment, parenting type replies. Thanks, Joe.

There are 100s of threads on here, many of them of no use, so why do you read them if you're not curious about it? It seems the most important "question" one could ask about FreeBSD is whether you should run 4.x or 5.x, and they always tell you to run 5.x because it suits the needs of Windbag River for guinea pigs. As long as you know you're a guinea pig, then you have your answer. I thought it was worth noting for the masses who unwittingly believe that a higher number release means better performance by default. Note that it also took quite a bit a beating to get them to admit that 1) They dont know the answer to the Subject or 2) Yahoo runs something quite different than what is available generally since they've "substantially" modified it. I yield the floor to the fat man in the toupee.

It does seem to be compiling a lot, which surprised me. From what you said, is the next step to do a portupgrade -Pra, again (with the portinstall option when, as I'm sure will happen, I do another start from scratch)? Thanks, Bill Aaron Siegel wrote: Hello On Saturday 09 October 2004 03:50, Bill Schmitt (SW) wrote: I installed XFree86 using "pkg_add -r XFree86" and it took a little longer than when I had installed if from sysinstall, but it didn't seem like a lot. Then I executed "pkg_add -r gnome2" I have not had much luck installing large collections of packages with the pkg_add -r. Unless I am using a ports tree that was included in an official release the resulting installation is out of sync. with my ports tree. I have much better results using portsupgrade. Portupgrade derives the package version from the port collection while pkg_add -r seem to download the package from the lastest release. Since you have just cvsup the most recent ports tree the packages you are installing may not be the same version as what you have in you ports tree. Run portsversion -v | less to verify the package you are installing are in sync. with your ports. I am not sure why it is taking so long to install your ports. Do you have a fast internet connection? When installing binary packages your internet connection is going to be what dictates the speed of the install not your processor. The task is not processor intensive. 24 hours later, it's still running. I'm not super-concerned, but I'm trying to understand what the differences are between the original, from the CD, installation and this one. It's a slow machine (300MHz Pentium 2) so I don't expect stellar performance, but it seems rather long. _______________________________________________ [1]freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list [2]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [3]"freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ [4]freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list [5]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [6]"freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" References 1. mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 2. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions 3. mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org 4. mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 5. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions 6. mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Oct 9 17:07:33 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 49DFE16A4CE for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 17:07:33 +0000 (GMT) Received: from imo-m25.mx.aol.com (imo-m25.mx.aol.com [64.12.137.6]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E9A0943D5A for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 17:07:32 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from TM4525@aol.com) Received: from TM4525@aol.com by imo-m25.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v37_r3.7.) id s.f4.4270a7d7 (4410); Sat, 9 Oct 2004 13:07:17 -0400 (EDT) From: TM4525@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Sat, 9 Oct 2004 13:07:17 EDT To: tedm@toybox.placo.com MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: 9.0 for Windows sub 5112 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.1 cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: What version of FBSD does Yahoo run?

Those under the thumb of wind river, or those of us trying to run small business who would prefer not to be bamboozled into using something "new" because you need free testers for your code? I monitored this list for months,and I never once heard any one of "you" tell anyone that 4.x was a better choice if running your business with the most efficient current solution was your goal. You don't care about the "freeBSD community", you care about your own agenda, whoever "you" are. If you're not going to be honest with the community, then there's going to be a separation of "you" with the agenda and "us" with the need for honest answers to our questions so that we can run our businesses effectively. I love freeBSD. I have the skills to get my own answers as to the suitability of one OS or one version to another. Most people on this list don't. So don't steer them to 5.x when you know its not yet ready for prime time, because people rely on you to give good, honest answers in order to earn a living.

Although I did install it and can edit pages from my laptop, I cannot edit pages from any other machine, including the server I installed it on; I am asked to login with a username and password. This may have something to do with the note the Richard Lynch wrote, but as I am not literate in php, I don't know where to begin to solve this problem. I started down this route as I was successful in installing phpwiki on my Mac OS X laptop. So I gave up on phpwiki and tried kwiki instead. It was advertized as 'easy to install'. Indeed it was. I installed it but cannot get it to work. I can access the .cgi pages but they give me the text and do not run the program. The instructions must assume some step that I have not taken. I am looking for an easy to install wiki that an apache/perl/php/whatever novice like me can install without getting a migrane. Any suggestions?

You don't need to get the plain text passwords. It's sufficient to get the password hashes as they are in master.passwd, because when you move them to the new system they still represent the same passwords. The way I would proceed in your situation is this: Open the files /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group in text editor and look for non-system users/groups (the ones you've added yourself). Copy over the relevant lines to backup files in secure location. Of course, make sure to not change the original files. Once you have 5.3 installed, open /etc/group in text editor and add the lines you saved from your original /etc/group. Do not modify the lines representing system groups. Then issue the command 'vipw'. This opens your master.passwd file in vi, so you better know how to use vi ;-). Go to end of file and paste the lines that you saved from your original master.passwd. Exit, saving the changes. Make sure that the home directories specified in your newly-added lines exist. This should be it. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * No, `Eureka' is Greek for `This bath is too hot.'

Anyone who uses FreeBSD. Anyone who contributes to FreeBSD obviously has to use it. And, even people standing on the street and throwing rocks - if they are doing it with knowledge, such as pointing out SPECIFIC issues - they are contributing to FreeBSD. Someone standing out on the sidewalk who has never run a FreeBSD release and knows little about it, who wants to throw rocks, he's not contributing. > Those under the thumb of > wind river, or those of us trying to run small business who would prefer > not to be bamboozled into using something "new" because you need > free testers for your code? Nobody is forcing anyone to use any "new" FreeBSD. You can use FreeBSD 3.X or FreeBSD 2.X or even FreeBSD 1.X if you can find it, that is. Many people have CD's of the old FreeBSD versions who will make them available on the Internet. You want to run FreeBSD 1.1.5.1? I have it on a QIC tape somewhere if you really want to. > I monitored this list for months,and I never > once heard any one of "you" tell anyone that 4.x was a better choice > if running your business with the most efficient current solution was > your goal. Why should we? The instructions that tell you to use FreeBSD 4.X are right in the release itself! Haven't you seen this web page: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/early-adopter.html I quote: "the Release Engineering Team specifically discourages users from updating from older FreeBSD releases to 5.2.1-RELEASE" These instructions are in every FreeBSD 5.X CD. Why are you blaming us if you cannot be bothered to read instructions? > You don't care about the "freeBSD community", you care > about your own agenda, whoever "you" are. If you're not going to be > honest with the community, then there's going to be a separation of > "you" with the agenda and "us" with the need for honest answers to > our questions so that we can run our businesses effectively. > OK so now your trying to say there's an "us" out there on the sidewalk throwing rocks with you. I got news for you, there ain't no "us" out there. There's just "you" I won't deny that some perhaps less-experienced FreeBSD users that are on the list are coming at it from the Microsoft mentality that everything older than 3 months is crap, and we all gotta run out there and buy the latest version of Windows/Office/Crapola software that is on sale. But nobody with any real experience who has been working with FreeBSD for any length of time will tell you to ashcan all your FreeBSD 4.X servers and go to 5.X immediately. They might tell you to not run FreeBSD 3.X - if you haven't installed all the security patches, of which there are an enormous number now. But there is no reason to abandon an older FreeBSD 4.X server if it is working fine for you, as long as you keep whatever portions of it are exposed to the Internet, patched with current patches. > I love freeBSD.

I don't blindly steer people to FreeBSD 5.X In fact, officially I say the following on my website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com/faq/verstouse.html If someone on-list or via private e-mail asks me about going to 5.X I will ask them what their needs are and base my reply on that. If they tell me they are a small business that needs ONE server and has an extra PC I will tell them to use 4.X - my book is aimed at that group. If they are a medium sized business that has 10 or so servers I will tell them to use 4.X for their most critical stuff but that they need to start using 5.X on some of their stuff to get up to speed on it. And if they are a Yahoo-sized business with programmers on staff specifically tasked to optimize whatever OS they are running I will tell them they need to be running all 5.X and they need to be working closely with the development team members, not me. And there are mailing lists specifically for that group. FreeBSD 5.X ain't going to reach prime time if everyone sits around waiting for it to get to prime time. Obviously you don't steer someone who is inexperienced and who only has time for 1 system and only for the administration of it, not debugging, to 5.X But if someone does have the experience or wants to have the experience, and they have multiple systems able to run it (which is easy enough with Pentium 200's going for under $10 on the used market these days) then they need to be running 5.X on at least 1 system.

With 4.10 you have the choice of vinum and ccd, in 5.3 you also have gmirro= r=20 for RAID1. See the man pages for details, ccd is quiet easy, vinum is a bit= =20 more complex but more flexible too. =2DHarry > > regards > reza > ---snip--- > sym0: <896> port 0x2000-0x20ff mem > 0xfd000000-0xfd001fff,0xfd002000-0xfd0023ff irq 11 at device 6.0 on pci3 > sym0: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, LVD, parity checking > sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM > sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. > sym0: handling phase mismatch from SCRIPTS. > sym1: <896> port 0x2400-0x24ff mem > 0xfd004000-0xfd005fff,0xfd002400-0xfd0027ff irq 5 at device 6.1 on pci3 > sym1: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, LVD, parity checking > sym1: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM > sym1: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. > sym1: handling phase mismatch from SCRIPTS. > ---snap--- > .. > .. > --snip-- > da0 at sym1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 > da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device > da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing > Enabled > da0: 17501MB (35843670 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2231C) > da1 at sym1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 > da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device > da1: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing > Enabled > da1: 17501MB (35843670 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2231C) > ---snap--- > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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" --nextPart1728801.Y1zepYlefY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBaDpxBylq0S4AzzwRAu2lAJ4+AzacWrPJVkqHCc6A+0hSQf4CQQCfXyJu 2EOgCzMAPFPSXlV5da2Fjlo= =e754 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1728801.Y1zepYlefY-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Oct 9 19:26:16 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 10E2316A4CE for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 19:26:16 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.gmx.net (mail.gmx.de [213.165.64.20]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 1CE3443D46 for ; Sat, 9 Oct 2004 19:26:15 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from Emanuel.Strobl@gmx.net) Received: (qmail 29745 invoked by uid 65534); 9 Oct 2004 19:26:14 -0000 Received: from flb.schmalzbauer.de (EHLO cale.flintsbach.schmalzbauer.de) (62.245.232.135) by mail.gmx.net (mp007) with SMTP; 09 Oct 2004 21:26:14 +0200 X-Authenticated: #301138 From: Emanuel Strobl To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 9 Oct 2004 21:26:04 +0200 User-Agent: KMail/1.7 References: <20041009182723.M39513@maa-net.net> In-Reply-To: <20041009182723.M39513@maa-net.net> X-OS: FreeBSD X-Birthday: 10/06/72 X-Address: Munich, 80686 X-Tel: +49 89 18947781 X-CelPhone: +49 173 9967781 X-Country: Germany MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="nextPart1673481.Z2yvV37Aq4"; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; micalg=pgp-sha1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <200410092126.06242.Emanuel.Strobl@gmx.net> cc: questions@freebsd.org cc: michaela Subject: Re: NFS(d) X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 09 Oct 2004 19:26:16 -0000 --nextPart1673481.Z2yvV37Aq4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Am Samstag, 9.

Yahoo like any large company almost certainly has patentable ideas and a crew of lawyers reviewing everything. I would also expect they have a patent portfolio. Otherwise nothing would prevent some competitor ripping off their ideas and setting up a duplicate "yahoo" website. I would guess - since it is usual for this in most large companies - that some of these ideas are implemented in the FreeBSD they run. I don't work at Yahoo so I can freely speculate. And my speculations are founded on what is normal and usual for most larger companies. Nobody that works at Yahoo and actually knows the truth would be able to even speak hypothetically about what runs at Yahoo, as they would almost certaily be under an NDA.

This only affects root. For security reasons, by default, root is not allowed to map to root across NFS.

On my three box network I solve it by creating all accounts on a single box, then using rsync to distribute. There are three password files and the /etc/group file to keep in sync. I can't recall the names of all three password files, I think it's /etc/passwd, /etc/passwd.master, and /etc/passwd.db.

I'd *LIKE* to collect that output. Under Linux, I'd use 2&>1 I read somewhere that under FreeBSD, I could do: (xxx > log.out) &> log.err This works fine for xxx == make buildkernel If fails miserably for xxx == ifconfig, however. I can sorta get what I want by starting X-Windows, and using a terminal/shell to do the command. Then the messages I desire to log are A) suppressed from by shell (which is BAD) but B) logged into /var/log/messages (which is close enough to what I want) Alas, the real problem comes when my driver code sends the machine into an infinite loop, spewing out messages so fast I can't even read them, and the only way out is to forcibly power-off the laptop by removing battery and power cord. Upon re-boot, the additions I would expect in /var/log/messages (or the bziped older logs) do not contain the messages I need to see. I have also tried: ktrace xxx Again, for the case where the machine is not in an infinite loop, it works real nifty; But when I'm forced to chop power, I get nothing. Is there something that will: A) copy (or re-direct) all output somewhere, *AND* B) force it to be synchronous and unbuffered and whatever else has to occur to get the file to be saved? Any other suggestions for how to get this process to not lock up the machine? control-C ineffective CTRL-ALT-F2 followed by CTRL-ALT-DELETE can sometimes get me to another tty, but that tty does not accept input Hmmmm. Perhaps I should try to cron a "killall ifconfig" for shortly after the command I'm about to type... Or something like: ifconfig ...&; sleep 3; killall ifconfig Any other ideas?

I have been evaluating Release 4.x and 5.x branches for the suitability. Our target platform is AMD64 and AMD32 uni-processor systems. We like most of 5.x features except for its performance and conerns about the availability of a STABLE version in our time window, and I would like your opinion to choose the right FreeBSD version tree to start the development right now. BTW, we dont have any plans to run on SMP architecture, our target platform will always be uni-processor based. Questions are, 1. By Sep 2005, do you think 5.x performance will be optimized and be comparable to today's 4.x stable versions ? 2. By Sep 2005, do you think 5.x will be as stable as today's 4.x released versions ? 3.

Apache, php, samba, ect. are all examples of this. Usaly its all about editing one or more configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ and some times /etc/ and getting startup scripts to work at /usr/local/ect/rc.d/. Vmware is a exception to this in my book. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

Not tried forwarding yet on 5x, but for TCP/UDP services, not speed problems with them on my box. Wait a bit till 5.3 is released and then bench market it after optimizing it.
