One of the following ports may help you:

/usr/ports/textproc/xlhtml
/usr/ports/editors/openoffice-1.1
/usr/ports/editors/staroffice60

Otherwise:
MS Powerpoint has an export option that lets you save your slides as
gif or jpg.

File->Save As->Save as type and pick your preference: gif, jpg, png, bmp etc

What branch/release are you trying to make?  
RELENG_4 is working for me.  (cvsupped last night)

Are you running "make -j4 world" etc?  If so try without the -j4 option.

Do you have any non-default settings in /etc/make.conf?  
Try removing them and building again.

If you cd to /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2 can you run "make" to build just
this part of the tree manually?

About all I can suggest right now.

Tony

fyi I do not get this kind of error, but then I have "forward-only" configured
in my options section to send all queries to my ISP DNS servers instead of 
querying root servers direct. See below.

Openoffice, or KDE's KPresenter can open MS Powerpoint docs. You'll find 
the results slightly imperfect but, normally, fine.

KPresenter will export not as jpegs but as an html slideshow.

continued make world problems...

[Eric F Crist]

Hello list.

I've managed to get cvsup working (after my botched make world and a power 
failure a couple days ago).  I deleted the /usr/src tree, and the /usr/obj 
tree and tried to complete a make world afterwards.  No matter what I do, I 
get the following error after 2 hours of a make world:

btxld -v -E 0x2000 -f bin 
-b /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/  ../btx/btx/btx -l boot2.ldr -o 
boot2.ld -P 1 boot2.bin
btxld: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2.

etc.

What do I need to do to fix this.  I cannot get this to go away with the tiny 
bit of knowledge I have.  Please help.  :(

SOLVED: apsfilter and margins

[Eric F Crist]

Here's a little howto for those of you who are having problems with faulty 
margins with apsfilter.  I'm personally using a Brother HL-1440, but the 
general idea still applies to all printers.

1) Edit the file /usr/local/share/gho.stscript/7.07/lib/align.ps and add %! on 
a line by itself, before anything else.

2) type lpr /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib/align.ps and you will get a 
page that has two lines, intersecting in the lower left corner.

3) Follow the instructions on the page that prints to compute the numbers you 
need to enter.

4) Create a file called /etc/margins.ps that contains the following:

%!
<< /.HWMargins [18 0 18 0] /Margins [0 -90] >> setpagedevice

Your numbers will vary from mine.  This is for a Brother HL-1440 Laser 
printer. (The bottom margin on mine is very low on the page, but I don't 
loose any text.  Changing the bottom value seems to cut off text.)

Make certain that this file is world readable.  
#chmod a+r /etc/margins.ps

5) Edit the file /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/apsfilterrc and find the line near 
the bottom containing PS_INIT (currently commented out).

6) Uncomment the line and change it to read:

PS_INIT=/etc/margins.ps

7) Print a test page!  Play with those numbers in the /etc/margins.ps file 
until you get the margins you're looking for.  You do not need to restart lpd 
in order for changes to take effect.

Hope you all enjoy this!

It sounds to me as if your bios or CMOS clock is set to wall-clock
time, which is the norm for windows systems, rather than to UCT, which
is the norm for Unix systems.  We can also deduce that you are
probably located on the US East coast... Since the system clock is set
from the bios clock at reboot time, this explains the observed
symptoms.
You can fix this behavoiur using /usr/sbin/tzsetup -- the first dialog
asks:
   Is this machines CMOS clock set to UTC?
 

I remember running this command during installation.  I selected "No" 
because I
wasn't sure and proceeded per installation instructions.

If your machine is dedicated to FreeBSD you should answer 'Yes'.

Selected "Yes" this time around and subsequently set BIOS clock accordingly.

 If
you have a Windows partition on the machine that you sometimes boot
into, you should answer 'No'.  Then go through and choose an
appropriate timezone for your machine.
If you answer 'No' to that question, a zero-length file
/etc/wall_cmos_clock will be created, which cues the system to account
for the difference between wall-clock and UCT when referring to the
CMOS clock.
Otherwise, you should go into your system BIOS and set the clock to
the correct UCT time.
 

I rebooted and this seems to work.

Thanks,
Bob

I've experienced the exact same thing with 8.4.4 on 4.9-RELEASE-p2. It
actually filled up /var once. It was doing it randomly, now it seems to
contain itself to startup and only for about 20-30 seconds. Then it will
mysteriously stop and DNS works fine.

I also tried the same thing, got the same result.

Just letting you know you're no the only one. =) The real question is
whether this a BIND problem or a FreeBSD problem.

endless "sysquery: no addrs found for root"

[John]

OK. I'm stumped.

This is on a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE system with named 8.3.7-REL

I have set up a pretty basic named.conf file:

options {
directory "/etc/namedb";

forwarders {
64.81.159.2;
216.231.41.2;
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
};

zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.INT" {
type master;
file "localhost-v6.rev";
};

When I try to start named with this config, the log file shows
Feb 19 22:16:50 jsrh named[177]: starting (/etc/namedb/named.conf).  named 8.3.7-REL 
Tue Feb 17 15:01:48 CST 2004   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/named
Feb 19 22:16:50 jsrh named[178]: Ready to answer queries.

but then I get an endless stream of
Feb 19 22:16:58 jsrh named[178]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS 
(K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)

for each one of the root name servers.  Just for grins, I downloaded the
lastest named.root file, but that didn't help (of course).  I also dropped
the firewall, but that didn't help, either.

When I run nslookup with the name nameservers listed as in the forwarders,
I'm able to make queries from this same system, including resolving
the root NS entries that are generating all these errors.

I'm clearly assuming something I shouldn't, or think I know something I
don't - because this just doesn't make sense to me.

Help?

TIA

Sounds interesting.
Note I have not tried this myself - will have to get USB support running to
try it locally.

But...

Basic setup is quite straightforward (as per any other disk):
1. fdisk the USB drive to put a freebsd slice on there
2. create vinum partition on the disk
3. create vinum drive with the device
4. build subdisks/plex/volumes etc
5. newfs volumes
6. mount volume
7. transfer data as needed

I expect you would want to at least umount the volume before
removing a device.
Probably want to 'stop' the volume/plex/subdisk also.
That way vinum says disk is 'down' and wont try to write to it.
You should then be able to remove safely (minus any other
FreeBSD USB disk caveats that I am not aware of)
Possibly camcontrol stop would be appropriate - I'll have to
do some research on this.

If the disk is used in a different USB port etc such that it 
gets a different device name I expect Vinum should still be
able to recognise it.  
My experience here is nonexistant.

At such time you should be able to start the objects and
mount the filesystem again.

If nothing else this has raised some ideas for things to spend a day 
or two on :)

Hope there was something useful in that,

Tony

That suggests that it may be confused somehow.
I saw the crash/assert type scenario if the boot blocks are not installed
properly.
Ie the MBR is updated with the bootmgr (F1 .. bit) but the 2nd/3rd stages
were corrupted somehow.
(In my case I accidentally overwrote the blocks with some experiementation)
You can reinstall boot blocks using bsdlabel (or disklabel on 4.9)
If you can boot from floppy/CD, get into fixit mode.
Then run:
bsdlabel -B da0s1 (assuming da0 is the disk you are trying to boot from)

Have you tried 4.9-RELEASE on this system?

I understand that 5.2.1-RC2 ISO is also available which might be another option.

Re: GBDE - Destroy command not working

[Dany Nativel]

It didn't work but after several other attempts. I've been able to run 
it using a specific combination.

So to summarize,  in my case, I can only run "destroy" :
- using external lock files (-l parameter mandatory)
- with the current key only (no -n -1 parameter to say destroy them all)
- using /dev/xxx  (xxx  only doesn't work)
First, what's not working :
--> Without detached lockfile
# kldload geom_bde
# gbde init /dev/da0 -i
# gbde attach da0
# gbde detach da0
# gbde destroy da0
Enter passphrase:
gbde: read: Inappropriate ioctl for device
and also

# gbde destroy /dev/da0
Enter passphrase:
gbde: No -L option and no space in sector 0 for lockfile
--> With detached lockfile
# gbde destroy da0 -l /etc/mykey
Enter passphrase:
gbde: Error 22 decrypting lock
and then

# gbde destroy /dev/da0 -l /etc/mykey
Enter passphrase:
Wrote key 0 at 5371894
And it worked for the current key.

I also tried to use the -n x, --n x parameter (with x= -1, 1) but it 
never worked!

At one point I even received  a
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode  (many of them in fact)


Dany Nativel wrote:

I've been playing around with GBDE under 5.2RC2-1. It's a fantastic 
encrypted FS.
Following the man page, I've tried to use the destroy command but 
without success.

Here is what I did to create the encrypted FS (for this test I didn't 
use the /dev/random to fill-up the disc).

# kldload geom_bde
# gbde init /dev/da0 -i
# gbde setkey /dev/da0 -n 2
# gbde attach /dev/da0 # newfs /dev/da0.bde
# mount /dev/da0.bde /mnt/usbkey
--> use the FS, works fine
# umount /mnt/usbkey
# gbde detach da0
Then according to the man page I should use  :
#gbde destroy da0 -n -1   to purge all keys but I get :
gbde: illegal option -- n
so I changed to :
#gbde destroy da0 --n -1   and got  :
gbde: read: Innapropriate ioctl for device
so I changed to :
#gbde destroy /dev/da0 --n -1  and this time I get the password prompt 
but it fails to destroy anything :
Enter passphrase:
Opened with key 0
gbde: No -L option and no space in sector 0 for lockfile

Maybe I didn't understand the purpose of the this command. I thought 
it was going to replace each lock key with some random data.
Can somebody explain me how to use the "destroy" command ?

Thanks

openldap w /sasl

[Dogg Haus]

Hi, I'm having some difficulty installing openldap21-client with sasl support.  I have 
tried on several occasions from a fresh 5.2 install, and have had no luck.  The error 
I get when installing is:
configure: warning: SASL authentication not supported!

Here are the ports I installed from a fresh install:
krb5
vsftpd
openssl
cyrus-sasl2
openldap21-client   --WITH_SASL=yes

The only configuration files I modified were for sshd, vsftpd, and added 
/usr/local/etc/krb5.conf.  I can run kadmin from this machine to my internal krb5/ldap 
server, and have extracted a keytab for the machine.

My objective is to replace my redhat9 dmz box, which is running an ldap-enabled 
postfix relay, apache, and the horde suite.

I am new to freebsd, and definitely don't want a snag like this preventing me from 
continuing to use it.  Can anyone offer any help or suggestions?

They don't work.  Fortunately I was able to:

  1. Hook a null modem to the serial port and my laptop.
  2. Run hyperterm on my laptop to view serial port data.
  3. During the initial boot load hit ESC to get the "Boot:" promt,
 then do "-h" to switch to serial console.
  4. Capture the stuff on the serial console.

What it does is repeatedly go through the BTX boot loader, saying
something like (this is from memory):

  BTX loader...
  BIOS Drive A is disk 0
  BIOS Drive C is disk 1
  BIOS Drive D is disk 2

  BTX loader...
  BIOS Drive A is disk 3
  BIOS Drive C is disk 4
  BIOS Drive D is disk 5

  BTX loader...

and so on.  Eventually it runs out of drive numbers and starts saying
"Can't figure out our boot device" a few times, then crashes with an
assert error.  Looks like the loader is just looping until it runs out of
heap.

If I try to boot directly into the kernel the cursor changes from a
blinking underscore to a solid block and the system just locks up.

In no case is there an error message or any other indication that
something is weird.

tfrank> Do you get past the "F1 FreeBSD" part to the loader?

Yes.  This happens after the "F1 FreeBSD" prompt.

Use nicmond (net/nicmond in ports). It will do all that, and even bring
your interface up as soon as you plug the network cable in.

method to test for link before dhclient at boot?

[Duane Winner]

Hello,

I'm wondering if anybody knows a technique for this problem:

I have a laptop that I frequently boot when it is not plugged into an
ethernet network.

In these circumstances, I would like to add some logic during boot time
that looks at at the status of my fxp0 interface.

If "status: no carrier" is true, then I do not want dhclient to run. I
want the boot process to bypass DHCP so that it will boot faster, or so
that I don't have to hit "CTRL-C" after the hostname is set, and so that
I can easily run my wireless setup script or ppp manually if I choose to
connect to a network at all.

But I still need to be able to detect an active link state on fxp0 and
lease a DHCP address automatically for when I'm in the office and
plugged in.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
DW

Yeah I found out the hard way.  ;)  I have CPUTYPE=p2 in my
/etc/make.conf because its example, e.g. CPUTYPE?=p2, didn't 'take' anywhere,
not even building kernel & world.
BTW this is one parm I must override, as this is an early p2 chip and it does
not have much of what is assumed in later i686 chips.  I had been seeing some
unexplainable glitches & traps etc. until I forced things to recompile with
this 'dumber' setting (told the higher-ups that, too).  Now at least I'm
seeing the same glitches that others are seeing (usually ;) and
repeatable/recreatable (usually ;) .  Having to explain to the higher-ups
why I can't use prebuilt binaries (packages or rpms) because 'they' provided
a box that has some really old chips (these were slated for state auction, but
we kept 'em because of the shortfall budget fiasco y'know). 

[...I'll snip some here and study it...]

It's going to be tough to do any accurate benchmarking: every time this p2
boots up is showing slightly different timecounter calibrations in dmesg. 
(Yeah that's all I need, a PC that may be on the skids. ;)  It isn't supported
anymore because IBM won't even consider maintenance contracts for this model.)

I forgot to mention another reason for wanting to set -O levels.  Now,
I'm not overly sure about GCC's criteria; it keeps changing as it is
developed, and is different for other platforms & chips.  But AFAIK for
-march=7450 (G4) and the way Apple has it working under XCode:  GCC will
not honor some of the compiler's tweaking flags if -O is not high enough. 
For example, MPlayer sets this high on purpose, so GCC will actually
'turn on' what is specified in MPlayer's Makefile for loop-unrolling and
other such tweaks.  IIRC GCC certainly needs the -faltivec parm before
it'll even consider compiling any Motorola vector code in the src -- if
you don't have a 'non-vector replacement' function there, the vector
code will simply be ignored and nothing inserted in its place.  "Oops"

OTOH a higher -O will automatically turn on other tweaking flags that you
might not want or need to steer in your code to function correctly.  Each
next level -O turns on the previous level's tweaks plus some more.

Benchmarks aren't the main reason to give it a high -O.  I'm finding this
difficult to explain what I mean here exactly, because of course faster
benchmarks are the end result.  Let me try:  GCC won't use the full power
of the chips (cache, coprocessors, etc.) and/or won't consider other
flags & options if told not to optimize (in effect).  GENERALLY.
I hope I said that correctly.  ;)

BTW I've been testing -O2 for the custom kernel during the past few days. 
FWIW the 'feel' is _quite_ different.  ;)  I _think_ we shaved ~5 minutes
off for a buildkernel (usually around 30 minutes with plain -O). 
If I can find a way to make decent standalone backups, I'd love making
world at -O2, too.
And as of lunchtime I have hand-patched and compiled the libthr "SIG-less"
changes that can be seen on the -threads list (posted earlier today).

It's certainly possible, and it's not too difficult.  Start by setting
up PPP on the FreeBSD box -- there's plenty of examples and howtos
around to help you do that, particularly:
   ppp(8)

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html

   /usr/share/examples/ppp

I recommend you use the user-mode PPP if you're just using a standard
POTS dialup.  You will want to use the ppp -nat command line option.
 

She probably also wants "-auto" if she wants the FBSD
box to dial on request, etc.  
IIRC, when I tried, the clients timed out before the ISP
link came up on the FBSD box, so she may need to adjust
settings on the Mac to allow for longer timeouts.
I did find the handbook's PPP section quite helpful, though.

Error when installing FreeBSD 5.2: " /mnt/usr: create symlink failed, no inode free"

[Dave Vollenweider]

Hello,

Been trying to install FreeBSD 5.2 using the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp images on 
floppies and proceeding with a network install via FTP on an old Acer Aspire with a 
Pentium 120 MHz processor and 80 MB of RAM on a 1.6 GB hard drive (the second on the 
system; I have another OS on the other hard drive which shall remain nameless).

The install goes fine until it begins to extract the files to the /usr directory, at 
which it then spits out this error multiple times:

/mnt/usr: create symlink failed, no inode free

and continues to do so whenever something is added to the hard drive during the 
installation.  Curiously enough, though, the installation continues, even though I got 
that error message again and again when the base install was completed and the extra 
packages were being installed.  I decided at that point to abort the installation.

Is there any way for me to fix this, and if so, how can I do it?

- Dave V.

1) wrap your lines at 70 character or so;

2) check a windows client which can browse easily and see whether they're
using any settings that suggest a proxy server.  If you do find a proxy
server in use, configure your FreeBSD machine to use the same settings.

I don't know since I have not educated myself on the process of building a
package so I don't know what the intended outcome should be. Maybe you are
or maybe you're not experiencing a 'real' problem.

May I suggest you remove said package and just build the port, it sounds
like it would save you a headache. If I recall it's not that big and
wouldn't take but a few minutes.

# cd /usr/ports/dns/ez-ipupdate
# make install clean

It's certainly possible, and it's not too difficult.  Start by setting
up PPP on the FreeBSD box -- there's plenty of examples and howtos
around to help you do that, particularly:

ppp(8)

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html

/usr/share/examples/ppp

I recommend you use the user-mode PPP if you're just using a standard
POTS dialup.  You will want to use the ppp -nat command line option.

Now, put:

gateway_enable="YES"

into /etc/rc.conf, and either reboot or run:

# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

On your MacOS X machine, set the default route to the IP number of the
FreeBSD box on your X-over cable.  Set the nameserver IP numbers in
/etc/resolv.conf or whatever the MacOS X eqivalent is to the same
numbers as on your FreeBSD box (these will either have been provided
for you in your ISP's documentation, or automatically as part of the
PPP dialup process).

That should be pretty much all you need to do: try looking at some
Internet sites and see how well it works.

Cheers,

Matthew

vinum - suitablity for use with removable disks

[Pietralla, Siegfried P]

hi all,

i want to use vinum with some removable ( e.g. usb2 ) hard disks. i want to
use vinum because : it lets me create as many appropriately sized volumes as
i need ; and, it doesn't matter whether the disk connects as da0 or da1
since vinum uses it's own label.

my question is, will vinum comfortably handle more than one disk where there
is an equal chance that none, one or more will be online at any one time. if
i plug in a disk, will i need to "restart" or "bring up" or whatever the
disk, or the plex etc every time a disk comes back online? if so, what is
the smallest set of commands i can use to do this?

note that i only intend to run single plexes ( no mirrors or raid 5 ) where
all subdisks reside on the same physical disk.

any thoughts or experiences appreciated.

thanx,
siegfried.

Umm.. how about this. The attached file "ez-ipupdate.help.txt"
contains
the output for ez-ipupdate --help. Where it says -S, --service-type,
find
the one you need for zoneedit. You can see my ez-ipupdate.conf only
contains 6 lines, I figure you need to change the service part to
zoneedit, ie the -S switch, and the user=[:password] to
your
user name and password and put that in /usr/local/etc.

Copy the ez-ipupdate.sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Add ez_ipupdate_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf

reboot or type

# /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate -c /usr/local/etc/ez-ipupdate.conf

Hope this is of more help

Filesystems can get corrupted if the system crashes and does not cleanly close the
filesystem first.
In your case I'm personally not too sure - some more questions perhaps can help.

- Were you using softupdates on the filesystem?
- Did the system panic/reboot when the disk crashed without shutting down cleanly?
- What version of FreeBSD are you / were you running?

Raid-5 should still work if a single subdisk fails.  
In your original post you did not indicate if you were using raid5 setup.

If you had configured the subdisks as a concatenated or striped plex then there
would most likely be no way to continue with a disk missing unless there existed
a second plex with a copy of the data.

possible.

i have a mac osx machine and a freebsd 4.4 machine
connected via a crossover cable for a small network. 
i have been able to figure out NFS, Apache, FTP etc. 
and so far it's really fun.  what i'd like to be able

i have a modem on my bsd box and it connects via ppp
to a dial-up isp.  i would like to configure such that
when i request an internet site from my mac, the bsd
box dials up the isp and acts as a gateway until i'm
done online, then disconnects... 

is this possible, is it really complicated?

i know a windoze app. called WinProxy used to be
available to do this.

Should be something along the lines of:

If you actually want the interface to try and acquire an IP address with

ifconfig_dc0="DHCP"

instead.

In your circumstances, what you want to do is configure your sendmail to relay 
all external mail to your ISP's mail server, which can be done by setting 
SMART_HOST in /etc/mail/freebsd.mc appropriately.

Bullpuckey. It's actually fairly easy to set sendmail up relay mail through 
your ISP's smtp server. See this page of the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-dialup.html

Basically you need to set SMART_HOST and MASQUERADE_AS and rebuild sendmail.cf

You still need fetchmail to retrieve mail from your ISP's pop/imap server, but 
outgoing mail can now be sent the way pine or mutt expect. 

If you are trying to use the FreeBSD box as a server for other hosts on the 
network you will need to set up DNS for your network. Andrew Boothman posted 
an example back on Jan. 22 that has example BIND config files you can use as 
an example. 
freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2352034+2356646+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/freebsd-questions/20040125.freebsd-questions
You'll also need to install a mail server like imap-uw or qpopper so other 
hosts can retrieve mail from the FreeBSD box

SFTP vs. SCP and transfer rates

[Steven N. Fettig]

I know this question doesn't relate directly to FreeBSD, but because I 
use both sftp and scp on FreeBSD systems constantly, I thought someone 
here might know.
If I sftp into a server and get a file, it usually transfers at about 
1.2 KBps - regardless of interface, machine speed and connection speed.  
If I transfer a file via scp, it transfers at around 6.5 MBps on a 
gigabit link.  If the link is slower, it still transfers at a rate many 
multiples of my sftp transfer.  Is there a reason why one form works 
faster than the other?  I remember someone once mentioning that sftp is 
really designed to run at a much slower rate than is available on many 
intranetwork connections these days.  If this is true, is there a way to 
make changes?  Is scp also limited by a number of speed factors?  
(Because even though it is much faster, it still is not necessarily 
moving at a speed my network gear is capable of.)

TIA,
Steve Fettig

If you installed it from ports try
# /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate --help

to get a list of options. Pay attention to the -S for your service.

I would assume that you probably want this to run from boot. Check
in
/usr/local/etc for the ez-ipupdate.conf.sample and change it to suit
your
needs and /usr/local/etc/rc.d for the ez-ipupdate.sh. You may have
to add

ez_ipupdate_enable="YES"

to your /etc/rc.conf file.

From: Graeme Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: System hangs when I go from X to console (nvidia)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I wonder if anybody has had this problem or can tell me what to try   
next.

I installed a Geforce 2 400 MX into my machine yesterday and actually 
succeeded in getting it to work with X after 12 hours.  All apart 
from from one annoying detail anyway.  When I leave X, either by 
ctrl+alt+bs or ctrl+alt+f[1-8] or rebooting etc. the machine becomes 
totally non responsive as soon as it tries to go into console.  I 
have to switch off and switch on (no reset button) to get it back to 
life.  I think my hard drives are going to start a petition soon to 
make me stop.
I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 and a similar problem.  When I shut 
down KDE it locks up the system with graphical garbage on the screen and 
requires a reboot to recover.  However, there are some differences from 
what you describe:

- If I switch to text mode with ctrl-alt-f[1-8], there is no problem.

- If I tell KDE to shut down and then _very_quickly_ do ctrl-alt-f1 I
  can cleanly exit from KDE.
- I can reboot without powering down by using ctrl-alt-delete (which in
  a default install will do a clean shutdown and reboot).  This avoids
  the fsck caused by powering down to reboot, and is safer for your
  filesystem.
[part of message skipped]
The machine is a Compaq Proliant 800 (with embedded video which I've 
turned off on motherboard)
The card is a Elsa Gladiac 511 PCI (with twin output + TV, I'm only 
interested in getting it to work with one output)
FreeBSD is 5.2 and all ports are up to date as of this morning.
I'm using Nvidia's driver.  The default FreeBSD driver did not have this 
problem for me.  It appears that I installed the Nvidia driver on Oct 
13, but I don't know how to check what specific version it may be. 
Other than this problem, I've been quite happy with Nvidia's driver. 
I'm using it rather than the FreeBSD nv driver because I wanted support 
for dual-headed operation (TwinView).

Any pointers or suggestions welcomed.

I'm figuring that some day I will get annoyed enough that I will 
download a new version of the driver from Nvidia, and that by the time I 
do that, they will have fixed the problem.  I don't know when that might 
be, though.

Many thanks,

Graeme

I had a similar problem with an nvidia GeForce4 (Ti4200). Switching
to console would make it hang while the letters on the console appeared
very faint. Searching on the linux forum of the nvidia site I found 
people having the same problem as well as a workaround: put
'Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "TV"' in the 'Screen' section of 
XF86Config, disabling the TV-out. Also, this problem seems to be
present only if a cable is connected to TV-out. (Yes I have a cable
there but almost never use it - a working console is much more important
for me.)

That's different from what I observed: my problem would occur *only*
with the nvidia driver, not with nv. Not sure about VESA but I don't
recommend that driver anyway. Also, only if a cable is attached to TV-out.
I don't have the link anymore but it shouldn't be too difficult to
find it again on the nvidia site. Might be useful as I don't remember
for what models of nvidia cards this was/is a problem.

Hmm, if you have another machine and a network you could try to do
a remote login and see if that works. If you succeed to login (ie.
the machine is still alive but displays nothing on the screen), you
might be able to bring it back killing X.

RE: Sendmail Newbie Question

[JJB]

You can not use your FBSD sendmail server to send email to the
public internet because you do not have officially registered domain
name. You can install fetchmail to retrieve your email from your ISP
and populate your gateway sendmail mail boxes. Then config your lan
users mail clients to target your sendmail server to get their
email. But really that is a lot of busy work unless you want to
learn about how email works. What you should really do is config
your lan users email clients to get their email directly from your
ISP, side stepping sendmail completely.  You will only use sendmail
to receive email msgs to root from the FBSD operating system. You
know, when you log in an root, the you have mail mesg.

Hello~

Excuse the extreme nature of my newbieness, I will try and do my

Basically, I
am having trouble with sendmail. I know sendmail is running:

I can go into pine, and send mail to other users on the system. i.e.
mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  My problem is that I cannot
send mail out to the Internet.  It appears it just goes into a black
hole and its gone. I am not really too sure even how to monitor the
sendmail log. I found some sendmail logs in /var/log, but when I
tail
them, they are either blank or jibberish.  My BSD server does not
have a
domain or a real IP. (for example the computer name is
groovy.sockthief.com which cannot be resolved from the Internet, and
the

read
through the sendmail configuration section of the FreeBSD handbook,
and
it appears that everything should pretty much be working fine out of
the
box.  I guess my questions are:

1) How to I monitor the sendmail log
2) Do I need to do anything special with respect to DNS to get
sendmail
to be able to send outside of localhost

Any help, guidance, de-dumbifying would be greatly appreciated.

If you installed it from ports try
# /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate --help

to get a list of options. Pay attention to the -S for your service.

I would assume that you probably want this to run from boot. Check in
/usr/local/etc for the ez-ipupdate.conf.sample and change it to suit your
needs and /usr/local/etc/rc.d for the ez-ipupdate.sh. You may have to add

ez_ipupdate_enable="YES"

to your /etc/rc.conf file.

From within a GUI, I use Kmail; although sylpheed is also popular.  From the 
console, I use mutt, fetchmail and msmtp.  Msmtp is a smtp that plugs into 
several email clients, such as mutt.  It's great if you're only sending your 
own mail to the internet, or if different users are sending mail via 
different email providers.

problem with port pdumpfs

[Rob]

I've been using this port sysutils/pdumpfs for a while now for backups, and 
have hit a problem.  I've tried emailing the author but had no 
response.  According to his website, there have been no updates to this 
since August 2002.

The problem would appear to be an issue with some size, counter, or 
something overflowing.  It's written in Ruby, which means I am totally 
lost.  Can someone give me a clue as to where I should be looking?

The machibe is running 4.8-RELEASE, Generic kernel.

At the end of each block of errors, it seems to miss the first part of the

Anyway I know nothing about Ruby - what should i be looking for in the

I have a similar issue with an MX440SE. From what I've read the likely
candidate is ACPI (try disabling it with option 2 from the FreeBSD boot
menu). Works for me. I'm using the nv driver from the XFree port, you
might need to research further for using the nvidia-supplied drivers.

Yes.   I don't have the system with openoffice handy at the
moment so I can't tell you the whole path, but just go to
where you have OO installed .../conf I think and do:  'touch soffice.cfg'

Later, if you find some things you want in it, you can add it, but
for starters, empty is good enough.

There is also another file like that too (eg non-existant) that needs
to be created but empty is enough.  I don't remember the name right now.
It would help if their web page had some separate getting started
documentation.

RE: Alcatel Speedtouch 330 using PPPOE, how can I do it on FreeBSD 4.9?

[Godinho, Carla]

Yes did tried that link when installing de modem, but I get a protocol
error when connecting to ADSL. See the details bellow:

I'm having problems when trying to use the Modem Alcatel SpeedTouch 330
with the FreeBSD 4.9. Everytime I tried to start the ppp I get the
following error:
ppp[2742]: tun0: Phase: Unknown protocol 0x7075 (unrecognised protocol)

I've done some research in the Internet and I'm aware that it is tuff to
use this kind of Modem with FreeBSD 4.9.

I will try to describe the installation and configuration steps that
I've done to set this modem, so you can help me:


1) I get the firmware from
http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/files/firmware.bin and the
speedtouch-1.2-beta2 from
http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/download.en.html

2) I installed the speedtouch-1.2-beta2 with success

3) Then I copied the firmware.bin to /usr/local/libdata/firmware.bin

4) I connected my Modem to the usb Port and my system recognized the
Modem saying: ugen0 Alcatel Speech Modem 330

4) I configured my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf like this:

#   $Id: ppp.conf.sample,v 1.4 2003/01/01 15:18:33 rogler Exp $
#

default:

###end

Where vpi,vci is 0.35 for Portugal

5) Then I started manually the modem_run like this:

/usr/local/sbin/modem_run -m -v 2 -f /usr/local/libdata/firmware.bin -d
/dev/ugen0 &

6) I run the command

ppp -background adsl

7) The error is described in the file /var/log/ppp.log:

"make world" doesn't always result in a working system, which is why the

Chuck, sorry about the lack of information.  Here's the dilly-oh.

I've got a FreeBSD 5.2 system.  I've figured out that cvsup doesn't work
because nslookup doesn't exist on the system.  I figure I could just
copy the binary from my 4.9 system and try from there.  I use the
RELENG_5_2 tag for CVSUP.  I'm thinking this is wrong.  Bah.  In the
mean time, I'm going to try copying the nslookup exec from my 4.9 laptop
and see if I can't get cvsup to work like that.  Dig works just fine,
which is why I think this method could work.

If all else fails, I'll just start a rebuild tonight.

Thanks,

Eric F Crist

The only way I could think of for doing this would be to create a
second set of mailer definitions with the 'M=' (Maximum message size)
setting altered appropriately, and custom parsing rules to force the
messages sent from a particular address to be delivered via those
mailers.  Needless to say, that's going to be a pig of a job to set up
and configure correctly.  You would be better off setting up some sort
of Milter or indeed forcing all of the messages to be processed
through procmail(8).

See http://www.benzedrine.cx/milter-regex.html or
http://www.snert.com/Software/milter-sender/ for somethings that might
do the job -- except that apparently neither of those can filter by
message size.  Both are available in ports -- if the term 'Milter'
means anything to you, and you're fluent at C programming then adding
a check on message size might be possible.

Cheers,

Matthew

Exim is an MTA.

My setup looks like this:
MUA (The mail client): Mutt
MTA (SMTP Server): Postfix
POP3 Client: postfix
MDA (Local delivery agent): procmail with spamassassin.

The whole setup wasn't all that easy to get working how I wanted it
to, but now that it's all set up, it's nice. I was using mozilla mail
and before that evolution, but now that I have mutt, I won't go back. 

Mutt is really great for dealing with large volumes of mail. My sapm
get filtered via spamass and procmail separates my other mail into
separate boxes for me. I used to spend 2 hours a day on mail, now with
Mutt, it's only 1/2 hour per day.

Ummm... you've got a bit of an incorrect idea about how FreeBSD works.
The OS consists of the kernel plus the user system (aka 'the world')
-- that is, the complete set of system libraries and standard
applications.  Under FreeBSD all of these parts are developed in
synchrony, and all out of a unified source tree.  Generally you will
always update kernel and world together -- occasionally there may be
security updates or the like where you single out a particular
application for rebuilding, but that is not a frequent occurrence.

The system sources are divided into a number of branches: there is a
branch corresponding to each release, known as a 'Release' or
'Security' branch, because the only permitted changes to it are
security fixes; and there are two active development branches, known
at the moment as 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT.  There are also the old
1-STABLE, 2-STABLE and 3-STABLE branches as well, but those are
essentially quiescent nowadays and mostly of historical interest.

The 5.x release branches start out as snapshots of the 5-CURRENT
branch, and the 4.x releases likewise of the 4-STABLE branch.

5-CURRENT is the real bleeding edge where there is no guarrantee that
anything will work at any particular point and the code base is
occasionally liable to sweeping and invasive changes.  Only system
developers should be running 5-CURRENT.  5.x releases are for testing
the major new features introduced in 5-CURRENT: they offer a better
user experience than raw 5-CURRENT but don't generally come up to the
required standards of stability and performance you'ld normally expect
from a FreeBSD release.

4-STABLE is the branch for tried and tested changes merged from the
current branch.  You should always be able to compile and run the
latest 4-STABLE sources -- the 'STABLE' in the name does not imply
'unchanging' as the term does in some other projects, but that the
system versions so labeled will run with a high level of stability.
4-STABLE is suitable for day-to-day use by ordinary users, although if
you're betting your business on FreeBSD, one of the 4.x-RELEASE
branches would usually be a better choice.

Eventually the 5-CURRENT branch will reach a suitable level of
refinement that it will be possible to create the 5-STABLE branch.
That's intended to occur with the release of FreeBSD-5.3.  Arround
that point the current branch will be renamed 6-CURRENT and all of the
major development works will be shifted there.  5-STABLE will become
the principal target for merging in the tested changes and the
releases branched from it will be recommended as the best versions of
the OS to run.  That's still several months away, at the minimum
though. Work on 4-STABLE will gradually tail off and that branch will
head for honourable retirement like it's predecessors.

3rd party software -- ports: essentially everything installed under
/usr/local or /usr/X11R6 -- is built and updated completely
independently of the development of the main system sources.  There's
only one ports tree and it serves 4-STABLE and any of the release
branches, although limited resources mean that testing can only be
done on the latest 4.x and 5.x release branches.

You can always grab the latest ports tree and compile what you want
from source: this generally gives the best results and it's easy
enough even for inexperienced users.  However, installing pre-compiled
versions of the ports, called 'packages' will often be quicker.  As
complete a set of packages as possible is created to go with each
release.  Between releases, and as resources allow, updated packages
are produced as new upstream versions of ported software appear --
you'll find those in the 'Latest' directories on the FTP sites.
However, so long as you use packages compiled for a version of the OS
with the same major version number, you should (in theory) be able to
use those packages on other versions of the OS than the release they
were compiled under.  Unfortunately, that's something that cannot be
entirely guarranteed.

Ports/packages already installed on your system should continue to
work even if you upgrade the base system.  If you upgrade over a major
version number, you will have to install compatibility libraries --
basically a copy of libc.so from an earlier version o

You can use cvsup to update the system source code, the ports, the docs, etc 
or any combination thereof.  Remember:

1. You have the option of cvsup'ing the STABLE branch -- it's not outdated; 
and
2. just because you download source code doesn't mean you have to compile it.

System hangs when I go from X to console (nvidia)

[Graeme Smith]

I wonder if anybody has had this problem or can tell me what to try   
next.

I installed a Geforce 2 400 MX into my machine yesterday and actually 
succeeded in getting it to work with X after 12 hours.  All apart 
from from one annoying detail anyway.  When I leave X, either by 
ctrl+alt+bs or ctrl+alt+f[1-8] or rebooting etc. the machine becomes 
totally non responsive as soon as it tries to go into console.  I 
have to switch off and switch on (no reset button) to get it back to 
life.  I think my hard drives are going to start a petition soon to 
make me stop.

I've tried the VESA, nv and nvidia drivers for X and all seem to 
exhibit this in one form or another.  I've tried loading with and 
without the VESA driver at boot with no apparent difference. At the 
moment I'm using the nvidia drivers. 

If I had to put money on what I think is happening I would say the 
card tells the monitor "go into x by y mode at z refresh" but the 
monitor can't handle that mode.  However it doesn't tell the card it 
can't deal with it, but the card is waiting for the OK from the 
monitor before it tells the machine to carry on.  That's what it 
looks like from where I'm sitting anyway.

The machine is a Compaq Proliant 800 (with embedded video which I've 
turned off on motherboard)
The card is a Elsa Gladiac 511 PCI (with twin output + TV, I'm only 
interested in getting it to work with one output)
FreeBSD is 5.2 and all ports are up to date as of this morning.

Any pointers or suggestions welcomed.

Many thanks,

Graeme

Is it necessary to use this type of driver because of the USB to
ethernet? Does it perform some sort of translation, USB <--> ethernet?

Looking at the readme and faq, I see that a person will still have to
set up ppp.conf and other generic stuff, like usb, resolv.conf, and
ifconfig in /etc/rc.conf, for instance.

A FreeBSD 4.9 installation will contain quite modern userland applications. 
You can use cvsup to update both the sources for userland or for the ports 
collection.

You can also install a port (by default things go under /usr/local) to get a 
newer version of software than what FreeBSD ships, but the base system and 
ports are kept seperate (by default, again).

This way, one can get an update(perhaps unstable) userland, but need not fear 
the OS crashing...
If you want maximum stability, track RELENG_4_9 for now; otherwise track 
-STABLE (which is RELENG_4, currently).

Dear CG,

If I where you I would google for the option to tweak your modem. I did
this with my Alcatel Speedtouch ADSL modum and now have a modem that
knows how to connect to my ISP. I find this ideal. There's an option to
use a natd router or you can just route packages though you Gateway. I
did the later, but this is a bit difficult (if you don't know how). By
the way I have no experiance with PPPOE and use PPTP instead.

You created directories in / of that drive (that is, /data) recently,
didn't you?

If you are feeling adventurous (not in the sense of writing anything
there yet), you could `walk' the directory structure manually so as to
find out if it's still there. Just mask out the inode numbers, use
this

# hd /dev/ad2s1e | grep -A 5 ".. .. .. .. 0c 00 04 01  2e 00 00 00 .. .. .. .."

and be ready to read a huge amount of hexdump:). If you wish to see
more of a directory, increase the `5' in -A (afterwards context line
count).

5.1-RELEASE - UDMA ICRC error - falling back to PIO mode

[Rajamani, Rajarajan (Rajarajan)]

I am running 5.1-RELEASE on a DELL GX150 with 512MB RAM on which I installed a new 
WD-1600JB IDE along
with the promise UDMA100 controller which came along with the drive.  The drive can be 
accessed
but the access speed is very slow and I noticed that dmesg shows the following
ad4: UDMA ICRC error cmd=read fsbn 0 of 0-3 retrying 
This repeats and is followed by
ad4: UDMA ICRC error cmd=read fsbn 0 of 0-3 falling back to PIO mode

I have changed the PCI slot on which the card is seated, changed cables and even 
hooked 
the drive directly to the mother board but the problem persists. 
The disc+controller however works ok on a wintel machine. Could it be some type of 
hard disc error ?

Can anyone help,

Thanks,

Rajarajan

You did it by hand instead of using the more automated method.  Although you
got the ownership/permissions correct, I bet you didn't restart the cron
daemon (which is required so that it sees the newly created crontab.)

You should really use "crontab -e" to edit/create crontab files.  It will
look after ownership/permissions automatically, as well as kicking the cron
daemon.

As far as I know, you should never manually create a crontab file.  Normal
users should just type crontab -e on a command line for scheduling.  The
same might apply to root, never tried personally.  One sure fire way to get
it working is to add your above line to /etc/crontab with root in the user
column.  This is not normally recommanded, so you might try doing crontab -e
as root first.

Re: dropping dhclient lease

dhclient -r 

If -r is not available it's probably because you're running an older version 
of dhclient. But if I recall correctly, FreeBSD (both 4.x and 5.x) comes with 
a version that has this feature, at least in their newer incarnations.

I think the answer to your question is to look at Chapter 18 of the
Handbook. Your local copy can be found in /usr/share/doc/. A summary
of that chapter indicates that all you need to do is set up a ppp.conf
and the necessary netgraph modules will be loaded.

You can find some relevant examples in:

If it doesn't happen again, it isn't serious.
If it happens a lot, it indicates a hardware problem; most likely a
cable problem, although possibly a disk or controller having trouble.

Well, seeing as that I didn't get a single response to my URGENT plea for
help, and noting that necessity is the mother of all invention, I managed to
solve this problem myself (48 hours after the fact with users screaming at
me for 6 of them).  I'm repling to my own post in the hopes it'll be
archived and help some poor SOB like myself should they encounter the same
problem.  I don't know if it was the *right* way to solve the problem, or
even if there were alternative ways.  This method did work, though.  It
resulted in some data loss, but I was illing to live with that since I have
good tape backups to restore from.  Here's how I fixed my problem.

After RTFM on fsck (man fsck) for the 4,341st time, I noticed under the "see
also" section a utility called fsdb, the FFS debugging/editing tool.  While
messing with inodes and such as always scared the hell out of me, I figured
I had nothing to loose at this point.  I went back to my fsck output and
noted that certain errors seemed to never go away, like this one:

INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=447212 (5280 should be 4064)

I assumed that the "I" above was an Inode number.

I fired up fsdb with the disk slice in question as a paramenter, like this:

fsdb /dev/da0s1g

This gave me a "fsdb >" prompt.

>From there I issued the command:

clri i-number (e.g., clri 447212).

This apparently nukes the Inode number given to it.

I did this for all the Inode numbers that continually re-appeared after
numerous fsck's.

I typed "quit" (or was it "exit"?) to leave fsdb and then re-ran fsck.

Problem sovled.  Restored from tape (love AMANDA!) and I was good-to-go!

Hopes this helps somebody...

Thanks,

RE: Setting up samba as PDC

[BUTTERWORTH,THADDAEUS (HP-Boise,ex1)]

Hi Joerg,
Thanks for the reply. I've done that already and still get the same message
when I do the smbpasswd -a command. The user I'm trying to add is one that
has already been added to the BSD users. Do you have any other ideas?

you have to set the password for "ldap admin dn" first.

try 'smbpasswd -w '

the password is then stored in the secrets.tdb file. this is necessary to
make samba able to connect as a user with write permissions to the LDAP
server. otherwise, as your current situation shows, it is not possible to
change any information in the LDAP tree.

Just wondering... if one installed 4.9, would the system be stuck with really 
outdated userland apps?  or would CVSup be able to update the userland ports, 
without changing the base system?

This way, one can get an update(perhaps unstable) userland, but need not fear 
the OS crashing...

RE: redirect port

[Randy Grafton]

Stanley,

If you are using natd and have recompiled your kernel with the appropriate
options then this should work for you.
These are entries to your /etc/rc.conf, (just a starting point, you can fine
tune to your needs):
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"
firewall_quiet="YES"
firewall_logging="YES"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="fxp0"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"

In the above statement natd_interface="fxp0", fxp0 is the outside nic of
your system.
Next put these statements in your /etc/natd.conf file as referenced above,
(natd.conf doesn't exist by default, you'll create it):
same_ports  yes
dynamic yes
redirect_port tcp inside_address:port outside_address:port
redirect_port udp inside_address:port outside_address:port

As shown above, don't forget to redirect udp traffic if the service you're
trying to facilitate needs it. Also know that the ports for the inside and
the outside don't have to match. For example, my service provider blocks
http/port 80 traffic coming in to my connection so my statement in the
natd.conf file would be something like:
redirect_port 192.168.1.10:80 outside_address:8080

By doing so outside connectivity attempts to my isp assigned address have to
be stated as: http://outside_address:8080.

FYI if you ever want to host gaming sessions on an inside system like
Counter strike or Unreal Tournament, then put a couple of lines like these
in your natd.conf file, (these examples are ones that I used so that my
buddies and I could blast away in Unreal Tournament):

redirect_port tcp inside_address:-7781 outside_address:-7781
redirect_port udp inside_address:-7781 outside_address:-7781

As you make these changes you can apply them without restarting by running
/etc/netstart.

Hope that helps.

-Randy

Well, I can see why. =) When I first came to non-windows systems, it was
Linux, too. I was just curious, but I came to like Unix a lot. Doing any
real work on Windows machines has become an annoyance to me. 
I mean, you can't even set the input focus to follow the mouse... 

> What am I in for??
> Have tried many versions of Linux.There are too many anymore.

Well, what was it you did not like that much about Linux? 
FreeBSD is very similar to windows, in many ways, from a user's point of
view. The basic command-line tools are more or less the same (differing
in detail, though), X11 is the same, you got the same desktop
environments and window managers available (like KDE, GNOME,
Windowmaker, ...), mozilla's there, too, all the network services...
Unlike some distributions of Linux, FreeBSD does not have any graphical
tools for installing or configuring the system.
It uses a text-based tool called sysinstall for installing and some
system-configuration, but once you got the system installed, you're on
your own, more or less. So far, this is pretty similar to Debian or
Slackware. 
But if configuring the system by command-line and config-files does not
scare you, you'll probably find FreeBSD very easy to configure. Unlike
Linux, FreeBSD is a complete system which can look back on a long
history, and you see that - FreeBSD is very tidy and reasonable in
respect to what config-file belongs where, where applications are
installed, and so on. 
Compared to Linux, FreeBSD has a reputation for being very reliable (not
that Linux was entirely unreliable) and performant (though I don't know
if/how much this has changed with Linux 2.6).
Also, installing applications is very easy to do, as is upgrading the
system. 

What you're in for depends on what you want or need.
If you have some knowledge of Unix-systems already, you'll feel pretty
familiar and will probably like FreeBSD a lot.
If you want to do mainly desktop-stuff (office, email, mozilla, ...),
you'll be fine - I do so, too. I also use FreeBSD to watch movies (DVD,
DiVX, ...), listen to music and watch TV.
If you want to do development, you'll find an excellent environment, the
GNU C Compiler is part of the base system, as well as Perl, compilers,
interpreters and libraries for a number of other languages are easily
available. 

> Where is a good place to start?

www.freebsd.org

But since you're writing to this mailing list, I suppose you found that
site already. =)

> What's a good read to get up 2 speed???

First, there's the FreeBSD manual, which is *great* - it's available
online (www.FreeBSD.org -> Documentation -> Manual), and it's also
installed with the base system. Numerous translations are available, as
well.

If you want a printed book, I can recommend "The Complete FreeBSD" by
Greg Lehey. Mr. Lehey is an active developer of FreeBSD, and a great
author as well. 

"Absolute BSD" by Michael Lucas is said to be very good, too, I don't
own that book myself, though, so I can't tell for sure.

If I'm not mistaken, you'll find more tips on books on the
FreeBSD-website.

> (work) I have time to read

That's good. Unless you have much experience with Unix, you'll have to
read a lot. Whether or not that's bad depends on you. 
I'm a big reader, so I even enjoy it, mostly. 

> [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) I have
> time too play with new operating systems

Well, as I said, I hope, you'll enjoy FreeBSD as much as I do. I like
playing around with different operating systems, too, Linux
distributions mainly. 
If you like FreeBSD, you might want to give one of the other free
BSD-based systems a try. There is NetBSD (www.netbsd.org) and OpenBSD
(www.openbsd.org), plus some 'spin-offs' (DragonFlyBSD, EkkoBSD, to name
just two, there's more...).
Before someone thinks of flaming me, I should hasten to add that FreeBSD
- in my view - is the best system for 'first-contact' among these. It
also somehow feels like it is the best *BSD-system for desktop-work and
especially multimedia, but I might be wrong here. =)


If you give FreeBSD a try (CDs are available for free download as well
as from several vendors), you'll probably run into further questions.
Before asking the mailing-list, you should consult google, or this
mailing-list's archive (which you can find at the FreeBSD-website, too),
as well as the manual. This is considered an act of politeness by some,
but it tends to be the faster way, too, since with
google/archives/documentation you find your answer pretty quickly in
most cases, while on the mailing-list you have to wait for someone to
look at your problem and answer.
Also, if ask the mailing-list, you

At work I have an HL1440 shared as a network printer.
I don't use Apsfilter.

It works fine with plain-text, postscript or PCL.
The printcap entry:

hl1440|raw1440|Brother HL1440:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw1440:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/lpd/raw1440:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=:\
:rm=hl1440:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

And /usr/local/libexec/lpd/raw1440:
#!/bin/sh
#
#  Treat LF as CR+LF:
#
printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2

#
#  Read first two characters of the file
#
IFS="" read -r first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`

if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
#
#  It is PostScript; use Ghostscript to scan-convert and print it.
#
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=hl1250 -r300 \
-sOutputFile=- - && exit 0
else
#
#  Plain text or PCL, so just print it directly; print a form feed
#  at the end to eject the last page.
#
echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
fi

exit 2
---

Suggest you check what ghostscript DEVICE Apsfilter is using -- hl1250
seems to be a good choice.

Other than that you could set up something similar to the above as an
alternative printcap entry to test out your printer while bypassing
Apsfilter -- should at least resolve whether the problem is with the printer
or Apsfilter.

Re: Win200 gateway blocking FBSD html?

From: Robert Storey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Win200 gateway blocking FBSD html?
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I'm trying to set up a FreeBSD client machine for a school. They have never used FBSD 
or even Linux, they are 100% Windows. They are interested in letting their students 
gain experience with non-Windows software. So I need to prove to them that FBSD can 
work, but I've run into a major obstacle.

The client machines are connected to a switch, which is connected to a Windows 2000 
gateway machine to access the Internet. I set up a FBSD client, and using dhcp it can 
find the network. I can ping the gateway machine, and even ping the local ISP. I can 
also use gftp to access some anonymous ftp sites (such as FreeBSD.org) though 
performance seems slow.

The problem - I cannot access any web sites with http. Doesn't matter if I use 
Konqueror, Mozilla or Lynx. Yet, all the Windows machines on this network can browse 
the web (using Internet Explorer) without difficulty.

I find this very peculiar. Just to be sure that I don't have a misconfigured firewall 
on the FBSD box, I installed FBSD on my laptop, plugged it into a different network - 
works fine, I can surf the web. Then I plug it into the school's network, and http 
doesn't work, but ping and ftp can reach the outside world (though again, it's slow).

Is it somehow possible that the Windows gateway only allows Internet Explorer to work? 
Doesn't seem possible, but what do I know? All suggestions welcome.

best regards,
Robert

hardware video capture

Hi :)

I was wondering if there was a supported "Hardware Compression Video Capture" 
card under FreeBSD ?

I know that, for exemple, Hauppauge WinTV or the Miro PC TV are supported, but 
these are software compression capture cards. I also know that Zoran cards 
(like Pinnaccle DC10+) are NOT supported...
Not that I'm not looking for DV capture, but regular video (composite or 
S-Video).

Thanks in advance.
