Re: where is /dev/ukbd0
it looks to me like the man page is not in sync with the faq. i'll submit a patch for that. i'd go with what the manpage says. please read the manpage. it contains much better instructions that the excerpts here: you need to compile your kernel with options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV. you need to cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV kbd0 kbd1 you need to remove the device atkbd line from the kernel you need to run: kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null as the system boots, in something like your /etc/rc.local -Adam >> (07.23.2002 @ 2234 PST): Ed Yu said, in 1.6K: << > I already have kbd0 kbd1 but NO ukbd0.

Re: How Does CHECKSUM.MD5 Work?
You need to md5 the *.iso, in other words, the image files you downloaded before you burn them. Compare those to the checksums from the ftp site.

Yes. You can add a `listen-on' statement to the options section of
named.conf:
options {
[...]
listen-on {
127.0.0.1;
};
[...]
};
The named.conf(5) man page has the full details.

FBSD config files - tutorials, how-to, other pointers? Where?
Are there any kind of reference docs to the various configuration files in FreeBSD? I mean, stuff that explains what the different lines & entries in them are, preferably with examples? As a for-instance, I'm looking at the hosts.allow file, and the man page doesn't do much to clarify what the different sections are for, or what the line entires mean.

My shell scripting skills are next to non-existent but I think I see a
problem with your variables at the beginning, specifically:
LEVEL=${0}
You're setting a variable to a variable but never defining the absolute
value. It seems to me the equivalent of saying:
"my name is my name is my name isinfinity"
Trying changing "LEVEL=${0}" to "LEVEL=0" and running it again, just for
kicks.

Re: Backup Scripts
Yes, I do have #!/bin/sh as the first line in the backup.sh script.
Before running the script, I cd to the directory the script is in and
then run: ./backup.sh

Re: Backup Scripts
Do you have
#!/bin/sh
as the first line in all your scripts?
and are they in a directory in your path? If they are not, you must run them
as follows:
./script_name
Hope this helps,
Tim

Backup Scripts
I am new to scripting and am trying to use the below script I found to
run backups of our FreeBSD 4.5 server, but I keep getting the error:

info. on creating backup scripts for FreeBSD.
Here is the script I am using:

tar_backup
# Test the backup for errors
tar_verify
# Email the backup report
mail_report
# Done
exit
and here is the .backup-functions file for the shell script:
# Variables
L0DATESTAMP="${BACKUPDIR}/.level0_datestamp"
NOW=`date`
# tar_backup function: does the archiving
tar_backup ()

Re: linux compatability broken?
you have to uninstall the old version of linux_base that you have. if you don't know how to do that, you can always: install /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade then, do: portupgrade -o emulators/linux_base linux_base-\* that should take care of that. -Adam >> (07.23.2002 @ 2024 PST): Eric Dedrick said, in 1.4K: << > > i hope you have a semi-recent ports tree, because you need > > linux_base-7.1. > > installing linux_base 7.1 from the ports gives me the following error. > Advice?

I've made world/kernel plenty of times before and compatability was fine. This time it broke. What changed? I thought all I needed was linux.ko in the kernel and the linux.so's to have binary compatiability.

Oh, and as per your other post, please reconsider I'm not completely green. The reason I wanted to stop fsck in the first place was so I could edit /etc/fstab, comment out the mount entry for that particular array, finish the init sequence which includes another very critical array, and run fsck manually on the dirty array. I had no intentions trying to mount a dirty array. I just needed to allow access to one array while checking the other.

Well, burncd will burn whatever you give it. If you want an ISO disk then you'll need an ISO image. If you want an audio CD, though, you won't, and it's also perfectly possible to burn another file system onto a CD, but I don't think that's what you intend.

Re: Missing Disk Space
It looks like you could use disklabel to allocate cylinders 2872-3377 to partition d. (And then newfs it.) So just set up a partition d with an offset of 46129152 (that's 2097152 + 44032000) and a size of 8142848 (that's 54272000 - 46129152). I've done this on a "live" system before, though I believe that you must reboot before you can actually "newfs" the space. At any rate, I would strongly *recommend* rebooting after doing the disklabel and before doing the newfs, and doing a "sanity check" on the new disklabel before actually doing the newfs. For the sanity check, verify that nothing overlap--check both the comments *and* the actual size/offset values (dc is nice for this 'cause you can copy-and-paste the size and offset and then just add "+ p" instead of having to edit it into the middle of the string). Call me paranoid, but there's nothing worse than newfs'ing the wrong disk space and I got burned by a version of Linux once that permitted me to have two overlapping partitions on the disk. You can probably imagine the sort of chaos that *that* caused. Once you've got the partitions, newfs, add it to fstab and away you go!

spamass-milter
I installed spamass-milter from ports. I followed the instructions, installing the line: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',`S=local:/var/run/spamass/spamass-milter.sock, F=,T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m') The socket is there. The spamd is running. I'm running freebsd 4.6 which should have libmilter in sendmail. (a strings on /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail confirms this). When I send a test spam, logging in /var/log/maillog shows: spamd[5955]: info: setuid to root succeeded spamd[5955]: Still running as root: user not specified, not found, or set to root. Fall back to nobody. Yet spamd never adds the x-spam header to my mails. I see that spamd definitely examins the message if I run it in debug mode. It's as if the message once processed by spamd is discarded and the original is delivered. I'm running procmail as a mailer to deliver mail locally, could that be interfearing?

Re: How Does CHECKSUM.MD5 Work?
Jeremy, Thanks for the quick response. I downloaded the *.ISO files. Then I burned the first CD from the image file. The root directory of the CD has no CHECKSUM.MD5 file, but there are many of these files within several of the directories none of which even come close to matching the CHECKSUM.MD5 file on the ftp site which I printed to compare.

USB Ethernet (kue) Throughput
Device: Netgear EA101 USB-to-Ethernet adapter. It's known to work with FreeBSD; for $9 new, how could I go wrong? A Windows notebook was available for the first test (Windows 98, AMD K6-2 333). Getting a file from a FreeBSD FTP server, it managed 875K/sec. On a similar notebook (Toshiba PII-300) running FreeBSD 4.6-Stable, getting the same file from the same server, the best it could do was 273K/sec. Maybe just a difference in the machines? The Windows version may use 100% CPU. 8-) Is there something that can be tuned for the kue driver? There aren't any media options; it's half-duplex, 10BaseT. (Incidentally, this unit isn't much larger than the standard Ethernet "dongle" cable.

Step by step securing web server/ A/V live streaming
I am a newbie and wanted to know if FreeBSD is the most secure OS? I want to use it as a web server and nothing else. Is there a step by step method of locking the OS down. Any books or links? If I am doing Microsoft Media video/audio streaming 640x480 300kbps streams what kind of computer can I use? There will be about 2000+ users connecting to our website where they can watch the stream that will be embeded in the webpage. In the above case does the streaming server have to be big or the web server or both? If someone could give me specs on what kind of cpu to use for both it would be most appreciated.

make installworld fails with mergemaster errors - 4.4Rel upgrade to 4.6 Stable

I hit the issue mentioned in UPDATING 20020404 about the new Sendmail user smmsp. I followed the advice to: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster; make install clean mergemaster -p I used the "i" option to install each of the temporary files that appeared. I then ran "make installworld", which fails with the following: ===> usr/sbin/mergemaster install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 mergemaster8.gz /usr/share/man/man8 install: mergemaster.8.gz : No such file or directory *** Error Code 71 Stop in /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster. *** Error Code 1 Stop in /usr/src/usr.sbin. *** Error Code 1 Can someone help with this please?

Yes. As a matter of fact this is how I run my caching BIND at home.
You want to look up the description of the listen-on option. An
example of using the option in named.conf could be:
options {
listen-on { 127.0.0.1/32; };

Hello, I have been working on this one all day and can't seem to come to a resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to attach my log file so you can see the error for yourself.

make installworld fails with mergemaster errors - 4.4Rel upgrade to 4.6 Stable
Hello, I've just done a fresh install of 4.4Rel, and I'm trying to upgrade to the latest stable. In single user mode [using shutdown now] having dropped from multiuser mode - All went well until I got to "make installworld". I hit the issue mentioned in UPDATING 20020404 about the new Sendmail user smmsp. I followed the advice to: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster; make install clean mergemaster -p I used the "i" option to install each of the temporary files that appeared. I then ran "make installworld", which fails with the following: ===> usr/sbin/mergemaster install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 mergemaster8.gz /usr/share/man/man8 install: mergemaster.8.gz : No such file or directory *** Error Code 71 Stop in /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster. *** Error Code 1 Stop in /usr/src/usr.sbin. *** Error Code 1 Can someone help with this please?

apache port, mod_jk, file locations
I am trying to make mod_jk2 for apache2 and tomcat4 (on FBSD 4.4).
The problem is that when I install the Apache 2 port, it's (as most port
of FreeBSD do) go into several directories:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh
/usr/local/etc/apache2
/usr/local/include/apache2
/usr/local/lib/apache2
/usr/local/libexec/apache2
/usr/local/share/doc/apache2
/usr/local/share/apache2
And this is a problem because when building mod_jk2, I need to specify a
directory for "apache2.home". Since there is no one home, what do you
think this should be?
I also need to specify:
apache2.lib=${apache2.home}/lib
is this "/usr/local/lib/apache2" in my case?
Any advice, help, pointers towards help, etc - would be greatly
appreciated!!

Help: Don't get the modem and souncard to work
Hi, Some weeks ago i installed FreeBSD-4.6 STABLE and KDE3. I'm a newbie to Linux, but more experienced with Windows. I first collected all data from windows for my PnP devices, such as: IRQ, I/O, memory because i thought it must be added somehow to the Kernel. I have the following devices that won't work: An internal Lucent Winmodem (PCI) and a Soundblaster Live 5.1. Soundblaster Live 5.1 I added the "device pcm" statement in the Kernel and made my custom Kernel. KDE3 is still complaining that the sound-device is not working. dmesg |grep 'pcm' results in: pcm0: at device 7.0 on pci 0 pcm0: unable to map register space device_probe_and_attach:pcm0 returned 6 pcm1: at device 7.0 on pci 0 pcm1: unable to map register space device_probe_and_attach:pcm1 returned 6 How does the Kernel know what IRQ,I/O,memory this device needs ? What is wrong ? Lucent Winmodem I've installed the LTMDM software from the ports collection, but i didn't make a custom Kernel again, because i don't know what to add. Logically, i think, the Kernel must know something about the modem. I cannot find any details on how to do it exactly. Is there some example Kernel for the Lucent winmodem ? How does the Kernel know what IRQ,I/O,memory this device needs ? dmesg | grep 'ltmdm' results in: ltmdm0: at device 8.0 on pci0 ltmdm0: could not map ioport Please help, Kind Regards Edwin Renders To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
amavis / qmail setuid problem
Hello, I am having some problems with amavis on FreeBSD 4.6. I installed the ports (qmail also) and when I try to retrieve any messages thru pop3, my email client (and also my logs of course!) reports the following error: "Can´t do setuid". I did some search and it seems that it is not possible to run a script (amavis-perl) with setuid on 4.6. Did anyone get amavis + qmail running on 4.6 without recompiling the kernel with that option that enables setuid? Any tips? TIA Paulo Roberto __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
