linksys pccard

[James Rogers]

I am running 4.9 stable on an Amstech Roadster 15
laptop.
I was using a linksys Ethernet Card that was working
perfectly until yesterday.Just out of the blue it
began to freeze the whole system when I plug the card
in.Everything works fine when I unplug it.
Do you have any idea why it would be working great,
then just decide to act this way?

Ghostscript-gnu is installed. Unfortunately, LOCALBASE is /usr/opt,
and the port apparently doesn't change the default locations that it
looks for fonts to include LOCALBASE/share/fonts.

I fixed this problem - well, mostly - by adding a fontDir line top
~/.xpdfdir that points to a collection of commercial fonts that
include the 14 base fonts. xpdf complains about not being able to find
the fonts, but renders pages properly anyway.

php4-4.3.7-1

[JJB]

When I was running under php4-4.3.6-1 everything worked.
Today I upgraded to php4-4.3.7-1 and I get this error.

I have no T_LNUMBER field at all.
Sim49.php has not changed. Line 98 is the way it's always been.

Can somebody translate this error message into something I can use
as pointer of what to look at in debugging this problem?

mpd and the evil vpn

[Reid Linnemann]

I hope some of the readers out there are more experienced with mpd than I.. I'm 
having some difficulties setting up a little vpn, and I need some fingers 
pointing in the right direction.

Here is the setup -

one box is connected to the ISP. Let's call his external ip [extip] and his 
internal lan ip is 192.168.1.1

The local area network consists of machines numbered 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.
110. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

The VPN addresses should be assigned 192.168.1.201 to 192.168.1.240 or so, with 
subnet mask 255.255.255.0

This box also acts as a NAT.

Here is the problem, and I will post my configs after stating it.

When an XP box (the only test platform so far) attempts to connect to mpd, the 
client acts like it can't see the pptp server and freaks out, kicking back error 
800 - which is the same message if there's no machine at the target address. I 
have yet to get the 201 host to connect, so I haven't added the other hosts to 
the config yet.

And as promised, my config (names have been changed to protect the innocent):

Here is the firewall rule list (no teasing, please):

00100 deny log ip from 127.0.0.1 to any in recv rl0
00200 allow ip from 127.0.0.1 to any

Sound on Dell laptop is messed up...

[R. M. Los]

Hi,
  I've apparently got something wrong. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 8100
laptop, with XMMS for playing MP3's, and streaming audio.  Every 10 or
so seconds the audio has this 1-second "sieze"; the best I can explain
it is it's the sound when you're playing an MP3, and your CPU spikes to
100% and the sound goes all robotic... except that my processor is
usually normal (idle -> 70%) and nothing is out of the ordinary.

  What could be causing this? ... and more importantly, how do I fix
it???

Thanks,
Ralph

I had good luck on a Dell Inspiron 8100. (I'm playing with SUSE Linux 9.1 on it as the 
moment.)  FreeBSD 5.2.1 with ACPI installed without problems.  The ltmdm port seems to 
identify the modem, although I haven't tried to use it. My laptop uses an nVidia chip, 
so you have a choice of XFree86 or nVidia video drivers; although I've heard there are 
models with an ATI video chip.

You can find lots of FreeBSD laptop information at:

Best of luck,

You need to install ghostscript-gnu for the fonts. I've asked the

There's only PAL and NTSC and any TV card should support both. WinTV and 
almost every other have a bktr 848/878 capture chip. That;s the one you want 
in any case. As for the tuner they all work alike and should support both pal 
as NTSC and the Fench standard (SEcam?) as well as 34xx audio (which is 
usually most easily dealt with by just plugging it from the tv card audio-out 
into the soundcard audio-in. A cheap bktr card should cost up to 100-200 euro 
max these days.

No tuners are univrsal but they just have different definitions for different

Perhaps that extracts the new ports collection over the top of the

Best older model laptop for FreeBSD 5.x

[3BSD]

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying an older model laptop to put FreeBSD 5.x on.
I had an IBM Thinkpad T21 and FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE ran fine, but the
XFree86 drivers were less than stable, and so was the ACPI support,
sound support was also very dodgy. Now I have the urge to put FreeBSD
on a laptop again. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a P2/P3
laptop from a company like IBM, or even Dell, that has almost no
problems running FreeBSD. I don't really care too much about good
sound, but I do care about stable X drivers and all the rest.

How did you update your ports collection?
when running sysintall "upgrade" from cdrom to go from 4.7 to 4.10.
  These are probably stale
files that should/would have been removed with a correctly updated
collection.
ok, I'll have a go at refreshing the ports, thanks

How did you update your ports collection?  These are probably stale

ar and strip: symbol tables

[Michael A. Branch]

hi,
  I nuked my symbol tables from some shared archived and noticed that

  ar -s libIsNowStripped.so

is not a recognized object and hence, the symbol table is not restored.
Is there a workaround?

thanks,
Mike

Normally, something like squid listens on a specific port and only 
proxies requests which are explicitly sent to it.  If you set up Squid 
on a dual-homed machine acting as a firewall, you can configure all 
clients to use it without them being able to route traffic outside of 
the firewall themselves.  In that case, squid will talk to the outside 
world using the external interface, but talk to the clients using 
whatever local subnet IP addresses they have, without using NAT or 
anything else.

A more complex approach would be to the network interface in 
promiscuous mode and use a divert socket to forward all normal web 
traffic (HTTP, 80/tcp) to the Squid proxy regardless.  That has the 
advantage of not having to configure the clients to use a proxy, 
however.  Anyway. I don't think setting this up is easier than using 
NAT, but perhaps you might find the concept useful

Standard IP-based routing will move packets from one subnet to another 
subnet, without using NAT.  I'm not sure what you mean by "able to see" 
in this context, however: are you talking about being able to send IP 
traffic to them, are you talking about having them on the same physical 
subnet by bridging, and thus be able to ARP the hosts even though they 
are on two different logical networks, or what?

So these packets should be passed to natd. I don't know which outside 
interface will be chosen because both outside interfaces are in 
dynamic routing backbone.
Above you said "no nat", here you ask about passing some traffic to 
natd.  What are you trying to do?  Do you want to use NAT or not?

Your second comment about "which outside interface will be chosen" is 
also unclear.  What dynamic routing is going on, and what does the 
topology look like?

Good. Theres quite a learning curve, but I assure you that diligence and
the willingness to learn are worth the effort as the result is a whole new
computing experience unlike anything the other OS's can provide (perhaps
only IMHO).

> I just got into DOS,
> figuring out basic commands.

FreeBSD, and most *NIX's share many of the same commands. Here are some
equivilants to DOS commands:

# cp (copy)
# ls (dir)
# cd
# mv (move)
# rm (del)
# ifconfig (ipconfig)
# netstat (route)
# traceroute (tracert)
# ping

etc ad infinitum. However, most *NIX commands have several parameters you
can feed into them, making them much more useful than you would be used
to. Remember the man command.

I suggest you search google for "unix basic tutorial" or similar to give
you a head start.

...and in my last email, I mentioned the FreeBSD handbook, which will
guide you on your way to getting a nice Windows-like GUI up and running.
You have several options and can even switch between several graphical
interfaces until you like one you find you like best.

> So is FreeBSD like a Unix/Linux version of
> DOS with different commands?

Well...Unix was around lng before DOS was conceived. Looking at it,
they do appear to be similar, but the depth and scope of DOS pales in
comparison and is laughable against the limitless possibilities that the
UNIX command line has to offer. There are different commands, but hundreds
of thousands more as well. (Depending on installed software of course). In
DOS, theres generally only one way to do something, where on UNIX, there
are usually numerous approaches to performing a task. None of which are
wrong, just different.

> Or does it have a graphical interface too?

A GUI as I said can be installed. Consult the handbook and use google as
per my last mail.

Well, it doesn't look like much at the command prompt, but yes, that's it.
The wonderful world of the power of BSD is now at your fingertips.

If you are looking for a fancy GUI interface that can sit on top of the
command prompt, start by reading the handbook...here is the section you
want:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html

If you are not familiar with unix basics, there are several books out
there, and thousands of online tutorials. Google is your friend.

I don't know your familiarity level, but the one most helpful command will
be 'man'. the man command will allow you to view usage information on
various commands. In essence typing something like:

# man passwd

will open the manual page for the passwd program. Most all commands have
corresponding manual pages that can be accessed in this manner. For more
information on the 'man' command, type:

# man man

Well, I hope this gives you a start. Note the entire handbook for FreeBSD
can always be accessed from here:

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

and it is certainly worth a read, a second read, then as a reference manual.

Steve

something through nat - something not

[Tomica Crnek]

Hi everyone, I would appreciate if anyone can help with this:

here is the configuration:
box is connected to one (outside) network with 2 interfaces
box is connected to one (inside) network with one interface
some nodes on outside network do have static routes to inside network, but not whole 
outside net
these nodes that do have routes to inside net pointing to this box use gif/ipsec 
tunnels to route packets to inside net (some kind of vpn)
only subnets behind these few nodes could be routed directly to inside net

what I want to do is to configure it to route packets to these "chosen" subnets 
directly - no nat, but I want to be able to see entire outside network from inside net 
also. So these packets should be passed to natd. I don't know which outside interface 
will be chosen because both outside interfaces are in dynamic routing backbone.

any suggestion?

thanks!

Is my problem indicative of a general driver deficiency in FreeBSD?

No, this looks like a device specific quirk, like how the 3com 905c will

regardless of anything i do yet in other machines it behaves itself :)

Printing Broken in Mozilla Thunderbird?

[Scott Reese]

Hello,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm using cups to handle my printing.  I
have no trouble printing from other applications such as Firefox but
whenever I try to print an email from Thunderbird I get a warning box
that says, "There was a problem printing because the paper size you
specified is not supported by your printer".  I thought this was rather
odd, and upon further investigation I discovered that the printer prefs
from the prefs.js file were not being loaded by Thunderbird.  I checked
the file and the entries are there:

During install, it prompts you to type in the super users password. Did
you make a note of this?

The superusers name in question is 'root' (w/o quotes). This user has God
power over everything and is typically the only user on the system when an
install is freshly done, unless other users have been added upon install.

IIRC, the system will accept a null password at install time, so if you
don't remember entering the su password, try logging in with username:
root and no password.

Steve

booteasy output on serial console

[dave]

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to get booteasy output on a serial
console? I can make an install floppy that works, but i want to get the
choices, f1 boot freebsd, f2 from second disk, etc. And would there be a way
of sending function keys via serial console? If not, some other method of
making selections?
Thanks.

I don't have the file your log describes. I don't think its part of courier.
At least not if you installed it from the ports. Or, maybe its only written
temporarily if someone is using imap via ssl (my mail server isn't active
enough on imap-ssl to watch for that).

It looks like maybe you have the File Access Monitor installed
(/usr/ports/devel/fam)... I know nothing about it, but its likely something
misconfigured on it that isn't allowing courier to write the file or
something.

No, this looks like a device specific quirk, like how the 3com 905c will

Its been gone since 2002.  No one stepped up to update it so part

You might be able to use CVS to get them or google the web for

If you are installing the script on a multi-user machine, not
distributing it to customers, the easiest way would be to chmod 711 the
script.

Sound issues on dual-boot machine

[Damon Butler]

I have a dual-boot FreeBSD/Linux machine. I've had lots of trouble 
getting sound to work under FreeBSD: sometimes it would, and sometimes 
it wouldn't, and I could never figure out why. But today I noticed a 
pattern, and with it, a way to always get sound functioning under 
FreeBSD. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Here 'tis:

Sound functions under FreeBSD only if I boot into Linux first and then 
reboot the machine into FreeBSD. This sounds rather incredible (to me at 
least) but here's what I've done to confirm this.

(1) Machine is completely off. Boot directly into FreeBSD. Sound doesn't
work.
(2) Machine is completely off. Boot directly into Linux. Reboot the
machine into FreeBSD. Sound works just fine.
(3) Machine is completely off. Boot directly into FreeBSD. Sound doesn't
work. Reboot machine into Linux. Reboot machine into FreeBSD. Sound
works just fine.
In no case am I adjusting configuration settings at any time. I'm just
rebooting the machine and testing out XMMS and mplayer to see whether or
not sound is functioning. Even the most half-baked theories explaining
this behavior would be welcome.
The machine: Custom-built PC based on Soyo K7ADA motherboard (ALiMAGiK1
1647/1535D+ chipsets), on-board sound (AC97 codec), 1.4 GHz Athlon CPU,
512 Mb DDR RAM, etc. etc. I've got one hard drive devoted to Mandrake
Linux and a second hard drive devoted to FreeBSD. I use LILO off of the
Linux drive to choose which OS I boot into.

As a real world example of what can be done with CVS repository files,
here's a story of mine from a few days ago.

While at work, I started working on a local version of a program, say
`foobar', whose version control files were stored in `$CVSROOT/foobar'.

Locally, at the machine where the CVSROOT lived, I made a lot of changes
to the files.  The workstation I used runs Fedora Core/2.  I saved a
tarball of all the files in `$CVSROOT/foobar' and copied it to a remote
machine that runs FreeBSD.  Untarred the `foobar.tgz' tarball straight
into my new CVSROOT and checked it out like a charm :)

I know that this is not the right method of mirroring CVS repositories.
I'm the only person working on those files though and I only make
changes in one of the two CVS trees.  The other one is used as an
anoncvs access server.

So, what you're describing *does* work.

That seems fine.  You can even insert a couple of rsync's among the
steps and let your users work uninterrupted while you're copying the
CVS tree.  Then announce that they have to switch their CVSROOT.

If anyone has checked out files that he hasn't committed, they can use
this small script on any checked out tree to change it's CVS/Root files
to point to the new CVSROOT:

#!/bin/sh

newroot="$1"
if [ X"${newroot}" = X"" ]; then
echo "usage: cvsroot " 1>&2
exit 1
fi

find . -type d -name CVS -print0 | \
xargs -0 -n 1 -I % echo '"%"' | \
sed -e 's:"$:/Root":' |\
xargs sed -i '' -e 's!^.*$!'"${newroot}"'!'

The last command, which uses the -i option of sed(1) works on FreeBSD
but needs a bit of tinkering if you plan to use it with GNU sed(1) on
Linux.

"Passive OS fingerprinting tool"
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=p0f&stype=all

Here is a snip from the ports description:
"Passive OS fingerprinting is based on information
coming from a remote host when it establishes a
connection to our system.  Captured packets contain
enough information to identify the operating system. 
In contrast to active scanners such as nmap and QueSO,
p0f does not send anything to the host being
identified."
Hope this helps

USB Tape Drive (Seagate Travan)

[Duane Winner]

Hello,
Has anybody out there ever had any experience and/or success with 
attaching a Seagate USB Travan Tape Drive to FreeBSD? (Or any USB tape 
drive for that matter?)

I plug it in, and FreeBSD detects it and brings up a 'Freecom USB-ATAPI' 
hardware on  /dev/ugen0.

However I don't see any ATAPI tape devices (/dev/ast*).
Am I just SOL or is there hope of getting it working? I don't see it (or 
any USB tape drive) listed on the FreeBSD supported hardware.

But I thought I would try anyway. If anybody has any success or just 
plain info on this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Duane Winner

just a tad off topic...   whenever you're making those gargantuan ports, it
is a good idea to also make a package (for occasions just like this) and
keep it around until you update to the next version (and make another
package).

there is a tiny primer at
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/07/FreeBSD_Basics.html

-
[snip]

% cd /usr/ports/www/lynx
% make package
% cd /usr/ports/mail/getmail
% make package

When you use make package, two things happen. One, a package is created and
stored in a subdirectory of /usr/ports/packages. Second, the port is
installed on the local machine, if it hasn't already been installed. If you
don't want to keep the application installed on the machine acting as the
package repository, simply type make deinstall once the package has been
created.

hope this helps for next time.   ;)

That should work fine.  CVS has always used the same repository format
so version differences shouldn't matter.

It can be done with netgraph and either the nc_fec or ng_one2many
nodes. ng_one2many is documented, but does not do link failure
detection and always uses roundrobin delivery (which may result in
out-of-order packets).  ng_fec's output hash can be either on MAC
address or IP address.  Neither node sends LACP or PAgP packets so you
must manually configure the switch at the other end.  The only
documentation for ng_fec is in the orignal maililnglist announcement at

NetGraph is your friend.  Start by reading the ng_one2many(1) man
page.  Then look at netgraph(4), ngctl(8), ng_hook(8).  Note that
ng_one2many is designed to give you the agregate bandwidth of several
NICs -- not to provide resilient network connectivity.

There is also an undocumented ng_fec module which does ethernet
channel bonding using Cisco's Fast EtherChannel mechanism, but you'll
have to use the source to work out how to use it.

If you actually want resilience rather than bandwidth, then take a
look at the net/freevrrpd port.

Cheers,

Matthew

But, of course, you still would have to have all the checksums done
before the dump was done (or at least before a disk failed or was otherwise
smotched) if you wanted to verify a restore.

Re: RH 7.3 to FBSD Question...

Hi Peter,
Hello, I am looking to free myself of the RH death spiral...
Ooh, you'll be glad you did[*]. :-)
I currently use their version of software RAID (RAID 1) I could not find anything like this in your docs.. any direction Y'all can give?
It's there allright:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/raid.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-vinum.html
Plus: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi
Yes, read the Handbook. Do it now. Read it all.
Consider using 'real' hardware RAID, would be my advice. Not that 
software RAID in itself is bad, but you'll save yourself a lot of time 
and trouble trying to get stuff right...

Even buying an el cheapo Promise FastTrack (haven't touched Highpoint) 
will make sure your hair remains as it is.

If you do choose software RAID, please supply 'before' and 'after' 
photographs, if only to prove my point. ;-)

[*] I don't consider RedHat evil at all; it's just that *BSD to me is

Tripwire and its ilk live in the ports system. The base system utility,
mtree, also has this capability, although you'll have to fiddle with
its options to get it to work.

Network configuratin issue

[Paul Prinsloo (TEBiVO)]

Good day

 

I've worked through the FreeBSD document, searching for a method to
assigning one IP address to two physical NICs on the same subnet.
Currently I'm a support administrator working on Tru64 UNIX systems, but
every now and then I need to lend a hand to the FreeBSD staff, and my
knowledge falls a little short here. 

 

In Tru64, this is accomplished with Link Aggregation or lagconfig. I've
searched high and low for a way of doing the same on a FreeBSD system,
version 4.9, but to no avail. Any assistance or direction given as to
how I can go about this, would truly be appreciated. 

 

Kind regards

How would that operate? Some kind of network fingerprinting is required.
If you can narrow down the parameters of your question (eg: I have a
network of windows machines and I'd like to figure out exact versions on
each one) then you might have more luck.

Unless you made a checksum of everything before doing the dump
and made absolutely no changes, there is no way that I know of.

Even some little things such as block arrangements being a little different
after a restore - irrelevant to the integrity of the files - would
make a checksum come out differently if the whole filesystem were
checksummed.

You can do an fsck(8) and see if there are any problems in file
pointers.But, that is hardly worth bothering with since it
is done at boot time anyway and it doesn't check the content of
the files, only the pointers/chains.   

On some versions of dump either older or from other sources (vendors)
dump had a verify flag that would read back everything and check it 
with what is on disk.   I don't see it in FreeBSD's dump.  Anyway, it
was almost useless since the system would have to be down for the whole
dump and the whole verify pass.   Most people do dumps with the system
up and running and in this case the files can change during the dump
and verify times, thus making verify always fail.  It is a rare system
that can afford to be down long enough to do even a single user mode
dump, let alone adding on the verify.So, it doesn't surprise me to
see that option gone.

This would depend on the type of NAT being done, ie 1:1 static or PAT
(aka overloading).

If the latter, you can only support (around) 65,535 sessions or the
size of a 16bit port number.

md5 of a filesystem / verifying filesystem integrity after dump/restore operation

Does someone know how to reliably run a checksum of sorts on a filesystem,
to be able

It really depends on a couple of things...

First, the horsepower of the box. If you want 1-10 users, an old pentium
90 will do just fine (from my experience), however with hundreds of users,
that just won't do.

Second, it depends on what IP addressing scheme you have used. For
instance, if you use 192.168.250.0/24, then that leaves you room for 253
clients. (.0 designates the network, .255 denotes the broadcast addr and 1
more IP is needed for the gateway itself).

If you use 172.16.0.0/16, then you have room for ~65,000 clients. I don't
know if FBSD and natd can scale that high (perhaps due to hardware
limitations), but that's the theory.

I've used a FBSD firewall against several thousands of users, however it
was not running natd, just IPFW. It's a P2, 1.7Ghz with 1024M of memory.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Don't know, I'm affraid. Perhaps manually assigning its interupt
(in the BIOS) helps. Have a look at `dmesg' and see whether there are
conflicts with other cards.

No need to get drivers -- they come with FreeBSD (don't know about
commercial solutions and whether they are necessary, though).

In any case you will have to provide more information if you want
somebody to help you, e.g. a dmesg would be fine.

Re: Problems with Remote Kernel Debugging on the 5.2.1 Kernel

[Mark Teel]

It is serial debugging, as described in the Developer's Handbook.
I have set up the same remote debugging environment in linux using 
gdb/ddd with success.  Further, the "Interrupt" button in ddd is ^C, and 
in gdb ^C is what is used to break execution, at least in past 
experience in linux.

How would I send a "BREAK", and how would one setup ddd to use that 
instead of ^C?  That should definitely be addressed in the developer's 
handbook if it is non-standard for FreeBSD.

Thanks,
Mark

If you mean serial debugging, you use the serial BREAK, not ctrl-c.
If you are connecting using tip, you use ~# to send a break (man tip).

X via ssh to HP-UX problem

[Malcolm Kay]

Hi,
At work I have been using ssh for X connections between FreeBSD an linux 
machines without problems.

Meanwhile X connections to a HP machine 'HP-UX hphendon B.10.20 A 9000/735' 
on the network have been established using classical 'rsh' with 'xhost'
authentication because the HP-UX system did not have ssh installed.

I recently installed openssh-3.7.1p2 on the HP and as a simple terminal 
connection this seems to work OK. But if I try to tunnel X through ssh
I have problems -- the connection is rejected.

From one of the FreeBSD machines (FBSD 4.9) issuing the command:
$ ssh -v -X -f hphendon xterm
yields debug information including the following lines:-

  debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 2 win 65536 max 16384
  debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 1419
  debug1: fd 4 setting TCP_NODELAY
  debug1: fd 4 setting O_NONBLOCK
  debug1: channel 1: new [x11]
  debug1: confirm x11
  debug1: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol.
  X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
  debug1: X11 rejected 1 i0/o0

I assume "X11 connection uses different authentication protocol" is at the
core of the problem -- but what does it really mean? Is there a way around
the problem? Must I go back to the classical insecure xhost approach?

Yes, I did enable X11 in sshd_config on the HP.

X on the HP is based on "X consortium" rather than "XFree" -- can this
be significant?

An X connection can be established in the other direction without problem.

I would appreciate any thoughts on this matter.

Hi Greg,

I searched the German web page of Hauppauge
(http://www.hauppauge.de/) for answers to your questions:
There's nothing mentioned about the tuner part.
But this card also features MPEG2 encoder hardware that's
capable of encoding an NTSC signal.

On the page there's a reg file
(http://www.hauppauge.de/files/pvr2_pal_ntsc.zip) to apply
the correct parameters to the Windows registry.
Actually I have no clue how to put this into effect on a
FreeBSD machine.

Maybe you should ask the manufacturer directly...
([EMAIL PROTECTED])

You mentioned that standards in Europe are the same.
Why don't you order the card in Germany for example.
Try to consult http://www.preissuchmaschine.de to find
a dealer offering a reasonable price.
As of today the cheapest offer I found was around EUR 165,--
(about AUD 290,--)

Stephan Yaraghchi.
