HI I was wondering if I could get instructions on how to uninstall free bsd. It's on my computer and I dont' know how to use it so I was going to just unistall it but I can't seem to figure it out. Well, I can't recommend that course of action. Much better to learn how to use it. But, if you absolutely must, then the way to uninstall it is to install whatever else you plan to use over the top of it. The reinstallation will wipe out whatever is already there. eg, you don't really uninstall it. You replace it. With it merely uninstalled you have nothing. Just an inert box of non-functioning electronics with no reasonable way to use it. If the box was set up as a dual-boot so that it has, say MS Win XP and FreeBSD, then you would need to use a utility that would let you repartition the disk. For that sort of thing, I have had good luck with Partition Magic (though I have used it to turn MS space in to FreeBSD space, not vice versa, it will work either way). Just boot up your MS Win XP or whatever and follow the instructions that come with Partition Magic to make the floppies. Then boot from the floppies and tell it to convert the FreeBSD slice - which it will not have a name for - in to a FAT23 partition. Alternatively, you can have it delete the slice and then have it grow the Win partition to use up the space. If it has Win XP on it, that partition will be either a FAT32 or an NTFS type of partition. Partition Magic is generally available from most stores like Best Buy and online for around $70. But, if you take the time to learn to use FreeBSD you will be muchly rewarded and will feel like you are so severly confined with that commercial OS issuing from the Northwest USA (MS Win xxx). jerry Thanks AH ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't think I have set up Bind9 correctly and I was hoping someone could
point out any mistakes I may have made. I have tried to follow the
examples in the handbook. I even bought DNS and BIND from O'riley.
I don't really know how to troubleshoot a DNS issue yet. I know of the
tools I just don't understand them yet. I have a MS DNS server running
fine as my secondary and when I try to troubleshoot it I can't tell if I
am getting a response from my MS system or my FBSD system.
Right -- you're basically doing the right things, but you just haven't
achieved proficiency yet. In general, keep reading. 'DNS and BIND' is
a very good start. There's also a lot of good information on web
sites around the net. Also look at the comp.protocols.dns.bind
newsgroup. Also try out sites like:
http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/
For debugging Bind9, start by getting Bind to log a lot of stuff.
First make sure that /var/log/all.log is enabled: edit
/etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the indicated line as instructed. Then do:
# touch /var/log/all.log
# chmod 600 /var/log/all.log
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
Quite a lot of stuff will be logged there, not just from bind.
You can get bind to log all queries by adding:
logging {
category default {
default_syslog;
default_debug;
};
category queries {
default_syslog;
default_debug;
};
};
to named.conf. This is good for debugging, but tends to produce a lot
of output in the log files -- it's not a good idea to enable this
continually on a busy production server.
Ultimately I would like to make this bind system my primary. Once that is
done I have made arrangements for an off site system to act as my
secondary for redundancy and I can eliminate the MS system all together.
Should I post my config info here or is that just a real bad idea? I mean
anyone can get what they want from the internet I just don't know if
posting it here is like inviting someone to crack my system.
Unfortunately there's not a great deal specific we can tell you unless
you ask more specific questions and present us with at least
documentation showing how something is going wrong.
Take a look at:
http://www.boran.com/security/sp/bind9_20010430.html
for some very good advice about securing a Bind9 server. That page
talks a lot about Solaris 9, so you'll have to do a little bit of
mental translation to make it fit under FreeBSD.
Also I currently only have one FreeBSD system. I am trying to run multiple
services on this one system Mail, DNS, WWW, SQL. It is a pretty beefy
system and will have no problem handling the load. I just want to hide the
hostname of the system when I can. I only have the one customer hitting
the system and it is a real small company. This system is overkill for
them so I am trying to utilize the system to the best of my ability. I
know in a perfect world I should have them each running on separate
systems however that is not feasible right now. I was thinking of getting
some old P1 systems and moving DNS over to that. Any other recommendations
are welcome.
You're quite right that putting all your eggs in the one basket is not
the best strategy. However it is a relatively cheap strategy, and on
a low traffic setup it works OK. The big risk is that a component
failure will take out your whole setup -- so make sure you have good
backups and think about your disaster recover planning: how quickly
can you get a busted machine back up and running?
A Pentium 1 system probably isn't a very good choice -- not so much
because the processor is slow (although that doesn't help) but because
systems of that age tend not to have much memory available.

It's hard to say exactly what went wrong from your report. It seems that although sysinstall could be booted from your CDRom, it was then unable to read everything it needed from the CD. There's several reasons why that could have happened: i) The BIOS could read your CD OK, but FreeBSD lacks proper driver support. Hence you could boot, but not do anything else much. Without knowing the make and model number of your main board, or the exact error messages printed out, we can't be sure of that. ii) The cd-rom you created was faulty in some way. Check the md5 checksum on the disk image you downloaded to be sure it matches the ones on the FTP site. iii) Which disk image did you download? If you want everything you need to install FreeBSD on one CD Rom, you need to download the disk1 .iso: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.10/4.10-RELEASE-i386-disc1 iv) Your hard drive or some other part of your system died right in the middle of the installation process. If you're setting the machine up for dual boot, does it still boot up in the other OS? Or can you temporarily install a different OS on the machine to prove that it still works? If it isn't a hardware problem, and you downloaded miniinst.iso by mistake, or you don't want to re-download the .iso again just yet, but the machine you're installing does have internet access you could try booting from your CD Rom, but setting the installation media to 'FTP': from the first page of sysinstall go to the Options menu item, then choose the 2nd item in the second column, press the space bar and then select one of the FTP options in the window that appears. You'll be prompted to set up a network connection of some sort and then after that the install should proceed as usual.

First of all, put a meaningful subject on your messages. Most of the people on this list are very busy volunteers who have to scan the message subjects and choose only those that seem to have meaning. A message with no subject is most likely to be ignored/deleted without reading. I have a question. Not long ago i have download the FreeBsd 4.10 operetion system. By the installation i have problems. I put the cd into the cd-rom and I restarted the computer. The computer boot from the cd and the installation began. It looks all ok - the computer was loading. But then had stop all. The last massage was reading time out (or somthing like this) and the next massage was resething deveises. I think it has somethink to do with my hard drive ( Maxtor 40GB ). Please help me with this. Second, it does sound like a problem with the disk. Either it is failing or it(with its controller) is not supported. But, there is not enough information here to know for sure. You need to say more about your hardware configuration and any other messages you see. Especially, try and read the boot up messages to see if it looks like it is finding the disk. I know that is hard - one of the weaknesses of the FreeBSD install is that it is almost impossible to get at boot up messages during installation. I hope some generous genius will someday improve that. But, try to hit scroll-lock and page-up and get what you can make sense of and add that to information about the hardware and post again - with a meaningful subject line. jerry ( sorry for my english ) Your English is good enough, but information for analysis is lacking. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Comparing to Windows, this BSD is very dumb- want to me to tell it everything. No wonder it's Free. If windows is so much smarter than BSD, then why did windows use BSD code in their TCP/IP programs? The installer wants you to tell it everything so it can create a highly customized system to your needs. I'd be more worried if the installer set everything to a bunch of silly defaults that I'd have to change anyway.

A desktop OS? FreeBSD shines as a server OS, and while it does a fine job on the desktop, try installing and administrating other server OSes, and you'll see just how easy FreeBSD is. You'll definitely worry much less about the latest worm taking out your servers. Comparing this OS to the one that 99.9% people use us an apples to oranges comparison. One of the features that I really find to be valuable is the upgrade capabilities. For example, have an old motherboard with a P-II 400 die and then try to upgrade the system with Windows. You have a number of hoops that you have to jump through before it will run. You may even have to reinstall and lose your setup. You also stand a chance that you will have to get a new key before XP will run. Telephone calls to Microsoft have never been immediate from my experience. With FreeBSD, you move your periphrials such as floppies, CD-ROM, and HDs into a system with a new mobo and cpu and it will boot and run like nothing had happened. The only time I had a problem was when a SMP system died and I went to a single cpu environment. The SMP hardware wasn't there and it paniced but no big deal, I booted to the GENERIC kernel, changed my kernel config to a single cpu, built and installed it and rebooted. Within minutes I was back to running my specialized kernel. Changing from a single processor to a SMP system is relatively easy on both system. With Windows NT/XP you have to find your CDs to make the change and by the time you do that, I have been running FreeBSD for minutes :). I have seen a bug on FreeBSD and sent an email to the maintainer. They got rid of the bug and the fix was available to the world on the next on the hour updates of the public mirrors. The last time I submitted a bug to Microsoft, I had to wait for 98se to come out. The response time comparisons were months different.

In Windows, the end of a line is represented by the carriage return and the new line characters. Unix uses only the new line character. Although the carriage return is usually keyed as '\r', I've noticed that it appears as ^M in certain editors. One of the safest ways to convert between Windows and Unix formats is to use the unix2dos port at /usr/ports/converters/unix2dos. The port installs the executable files unix2dos and dos2unix. To convert a Windows file to Unix (to remove ^M from the end of each line, execute: dos2unix filename To convert a Unix file to Windows (to add ^M to the end of each line), execute: unix2dos filename This way, you will not risk mistyping code that is gibberish to non-scripters.

Also, you can try a fdisk on the device, in case it doesn't use the first slice (I've yet to see this on USB devices, but ZIP drives used to use slice 4 for their DOS partition). Thanks, it was the slice, as I later detected. If you still can't get it to work, drop me a line, and I can try to provide some other pointers. On most devices, its a matter of tweaking the protocol settings in umass.c. Assumed I will get it working soon, how can I achieve that it is automatically mounted? Is there a user wrapper to mount/unmount the USB stick? You should be able to set something up in /etc/usbd.conf for attach.

I found the section with the ports a bit confusing so I?d like to make sure, not to violate any copyright. FreeBSD itself -- no problem. Go right ahead. The ports tree is considered an optional part of the main system. That's the stuff that lives under /usr/ports: Makefiles, pkg-plists etc. So you can include that. Most of the distfiles -- the source code that gets downloaded and compiled via the ports system is freely available and can be included in a disk as you suggest. As generally can the packages that are the result of compiling each port. Not all ports of packages are so freely available though. Where there are limitations on distributing the port/package, the port Makefile will lines marked: RESTRICTED= Some reason why this port is restricted or NO_CDROM= Some reason why this port shouldn't be included on the FreeBSD CDs NO_PACKAGE= Some reason why pre-compiled packages shouldn't be distributed See for instance: java/jdk14, mail/qmail However, if you want to include many of the available ports/packages, you're going to be giving away more disks than you bargained for with each magazine. Generally, if a port/package is freely available the package file will appear on ftp.freebsd.org and it will probably be included on the 3rd or 4th disks in a standard FreeBSD distribution set.

Does schg prevent fcntl from locking /dev/null, if that is what sendmail uses? Lock it why? There's no point locking the null device -- it's not like it has contents that can be changed out from underneath a process... Besides, a large number of processes tend to have open descriptors on /dev/null -- any well behaved daemon process will close its stdin, stdout and stderr and re-open them on /dev/null as part of the standard setup for becoming a daemon. See daemon(3). Getting a mandatory exclusive lock on /dev/null early in the boot process would be a very effective way to cripple a system... If you want to see what processes have an open file descriptor on /dev/null, try: % fstat -f /dev | grep ' null ' There will be more than you expect. As for tracking down what process has mucked up the permissions on the device: that's going to be quite laborious. You'll probably have to do something horribly tedious like not running each process (that uses /dev/null) in turn, and see if you can identify when the chmod(2) doesn't happen. It would have to be a root-owned process to change the permissions on the device, which will cut the list down a bit. Remember though that many daemon processes will start as UID root in order to bind low-numbered network ports, and then change their UID to something less privileged as a security measure.

Re: your mail
J, I had the same problem for a while and gave up on the floppies. I created a bootable CD-ROM and booted from it through the SRM console. There are bootable ISO's in the ALPHA/ directory on the ftp.freebsd.org (and mirrors) server. In the SRM I found out which drive was the CD-ROM and told the console to boot from it. After the darkness and reboot of the SRM it booted and loaded the cdrom fine. I'm using 4.8-RELEASE on a Alpha 1000a on a EVA5. It's a little pokier than I remember on Tru64 4.0F but I am much more comfortable with FreeBSD and the lack of License Paks on this hardware. R. PS If you know more power to you but: 1 - To see which drives were identified by the SRM console type: show config The drives should have funky names like dka#.0.0.#000.0 and the likes and a text string that 'may' identify the drive. 2 - Once you identify the drive you want to boot from type: boot dka#.0.0.#000.0 The screen will go black and you will re-post. Hope this helps.

As far as I can tell, the isode SNMP agent is pretty much obsolete nowadays (it was mentioned on a FreeBSD mailing list back in 1997-ish back when FreeBSD 2.1.x was current). Although it started as a BSD-ish program (http://www.funet.fi/pub/unix/osi/isode-ports.txt) there apears not to be any sort of port on FreeBSD nowadays. It also seems to have nothing to do with http://www.isode.com/ any more. Even if you could dig up an old version somewhere on the net and get it installed on FreeBSD, you should think twice. There were some very nasty security bugs discovered last year that are apparently present in almost all SNMP implementations (http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-03.html) and you definitely want to install something that has had those bugs fixed. Nowadays, you'ld install one of the net-snmp ports (ports/net/net-snmp or ports/net/net-snmp4) to provide SNMP functionality, but I have no idea if your routing program would be able to integrate with either of those versions. There is no 'snmpi' program supplied with those packages, and I can't see (off hand) any program providing equivalent functionality.

Well! I have very many bad sectors! How can I do to get rid from them? Unfortunately, if you are seeing bad sectors, it probably means that you have already used up all the spare remapping sectors - this happens in the background without you knowing it.If this is true, it also probably means that the disk is rapidly going bad and just doing a low level format might buy you only a few days reprieve before it dies altogether. So, your best bet by far is to rescue as much important data from the disk as possible now and get a new disk. Forget the low level format. It is too late for that. jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

my problem is mounting vfat/ext3 partitions:
Mounting ext3 partitions under FreeBSD is apparently pretty much the
same degree of um, challenge as mounting ext2 partitions. You need
a custom kernel with:
options EXT2FS
compiled in. See Chapter 9 of the Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html)
for detailed instructions. Even so, Linux filesystem support is not
entirely without pitfalls. The trick is apparently to always make
sure the ext{2,3} partitions are cleanly unmounted and to install and
make appropriate use of a recent version of e2fsprogs
(ports/sysutils/e2fsprogs).
under linux my table looks like:
Linux partition names work like this:
hd --- 'hard disk': ie. an ATA disk device
a --- Drive 'a': the master drive on the primary channel
1--- Bios partition 1 ('Slice' in FreeBSD parlance)
If you have multiple drives, they are usually labelled according to:
a --- master, 1ary channel
b --- slave, 1ary channel
c --- master, 2ary channel
d --- slave, 2ary channel
[Aside: SCSI disks use the 'sd' driver and the drive letters 'a', 'b',
etc. are assigned in sequence in the order of the SCSI busses and ID
numbers.]
FreeBSD partition names work similarly:
ad -- 'ATA Disk' driver
0 -- The first disk (usually the primary master)
s1 -- Slice 1 (Bios partition 1)
a -- partition 'a' (FreeBSD partitions only)
FreeBSD defaults to numbering the drives in order of discovery so if
you have two disks thay will be ad0 and ad1, although this can be
overridden in the kernel configuration. The search order is '1ary
master, 1ary slave, 2ary master, 2ary slave'.
The slices are numbered s1, s2, s3, s4 --- the four primary partitions
---, s5, s6 etc. for logical or extended partitions. FreeBSD should
be installed into a primary partition if you need it to be bootable...
[ SCSI disks use the 'da' (Direct access) driver, and are numbered in
order of SCSI bus and SCSI ID unless overridden in the kernel.]
/dev/hda1 - win2k
/dev/ad0s1
/dev/hda2 - root of gentoo linux
/dev/ad0s2
/dev/hda3 - swap of gentoo linux
/dev/ad0s3
/dev/hda4 - my freebsd workstation
/dev/ad0s4a
/dev/ad0s4b
etc.
Any 1 please, how do I mount the partition of linux/win2k under freebsd?
Read carefully the mount(8), mount_ntfs(8), mount_msdos(8) and
mount_ext2fs(8), fstab(5) man pages, but in general it's something
like:
mount -t type -o options /dev/ad0sN /mnt/point
You'll need to add appropriate support to your kernel config to mount
the various different filesystem types, and note that some (NTFS in
particular) should probably only be mounted read-only.
Every thing is named different in freebsd.
That's because everything is different in FreeBSD. Or at least, it's
most different at the kernel level.

Matthew

Uh --- nowadays you'ld want to use OpenSSL which is based in part on the SSLeay stuff. Anyhow, I'm afraid that to make an SSL enabled apache, you've got to delete your original apache and re-install. There's two choices: ports/www/apache13-ssl This builds an apache httpd with the SSL stuff linked directly into the main application. See http://www.apache-ssl.org/. Somewhat more popular and what I personally prefer to use, (and incidentally the basis for the bundled HTTPS support in apache2) is: ports/www/apache13-modssl whilst this looks like (indeed, *is*) a DSO type loadable apache module (like mod_php4 etc.), it isn't the same as other loadable modules It builds against a specially patched apache source tree. The patches provide the 'EAPI' extended application programming interface business that mod_ssl requires. It also has a dependency on a portable memory management library 'libmm'. http://www.modssl.org/ Make sure you use a version of OpenSSL later than 0.9.6d --- either install the OpenSSL port or run a recent version of -STABLE so you don't get bitten by FreeBSD-SA-02:33.openssl (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-02%3A33.openssl.asc) Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
