Re: Serial console connection problem

Hi Jonathan and thanks for reply!

I have an issue with serial console connection with two FreeBSD machines 
(Both with Intel SE7210TP1-E motherboard, other configured as "host" 
from bios and other has ordinary com ports which are connected with 
normal tested serial cable).

Host machine is running FreeBSD 5.3 and the "client" one 4.10.
Problem is that when trying to open the serial connection with tip, 
error occurs as;

/[EMAIL PROTECTED] root # tip com1
tip: /dev/cuaa0: Device busy
link down
 

 

Weird, fstat shows nothing on the port;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root # fstat /dev/cuaa0
USER CMD  PID   FD MOUNT  INUM MODE SZ|DV R/W NAME
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root #
And yes, this is problem is on the 4.10 machine which is connecting to 
the 5.3 one.

Try running fstat(1) against /dev/cuaa0 to try to find out what's
holding the device. If I understand you correctly, you're doing this
on the 4.10 machine.
 

Main question is that how to get access first to the com1 port generally 
and second to get ahold of the remote screen on the other end of the 
serial cable?
   

 

Might be this is the problem, here is all gettys running on the 4.10 
machine:

/usr/libexec/getty std.9600 console

The last one (console) does not appear on the 5.3 machines processlist, 
would it be safe to kill that one just like that with kill -9 238 (If 
that is the process locking the port)?

The connection is ordinary serial cable, do you mean that should specify 
from BSD side what kind of connection is it?

Make sure that you haven't got a getty running at the same time on
both sides, and that you've got a null-modem connection between the two
hosts instead of a straight thru'.
Cheers.
 

Thanks and Cheers,

SE7520BD2SCSI mainboard not suported hardware ?

[Edvardas Butrimas]

Hi,
Sorry for my english

I have problem with Intel® Server Board SE7520BD2SCSI.

http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/se7520bd2/index.htm

Two Ultra320/LVD channels via the LSI Logic 53C1030 SCSI controller and
connected via two internal 68-pin-wide connectors; maximum data transfer 320
MB/sec on each Ultra320/LVD controller, supporting RAID 0 and 1, and support
for modular ROMB (Intel RAID Controller SRCZCRX)

SCSI disks works terribly.
They copy 3mb/s.
Does the disks are in RAID or single they works terribly.
I try other SCSI controler on PCI, but the problem the same.
I try different OS, like freebsd i386 4.11, 5.3, amd64 5.3(it suports E7520
chipset), NetBSD 2.0, only windows 2003 works fine.
Intel mainboard CD have drivers for Windows, UnixWare, SUSE, Red Hat,
NetWare.
Do you have any suggestions? any ideas ?

Can't control PostgreSQL with RC scripts

[Pat Maddox]

I installed PostgreSQL 8.0.1 from ports, and now I'd like to control
it with the RC scripts.  I wasn't able to run initdb with the scripts,
I had to do that manually with the regular initdb command.  Now I've
got the db dir as /usr/local/pgsql/data, which is what it looks like
pgsql expects, but the scripts still won't start it or stop it.  They
don't produce any output either.  Any ideas on what to do?

Sound problem

[Oleksandr Semenko]

I have problems with sound on FreeBSD 5.3 on KDE 3.3.0. 
 
My ASUS P4P800SE motherboard has "ADI AD (Analog Device) 1985 Sound MAX 
6-channel CODEC" sound 
card. I don't know if it is supported. In the list of supported sound drivers I 
found 
snd_ad_1816 driver, but it doesn't work with my card. 
 
System detects my sound card correctly when I use the "kldload snd_drivers" 
command: 
"Analog Device AD1985 Ac 97 Codec". 
But there is no such driver like snd_ad1985, only snd_ad1816!!! 
 
 
1. Every time when I use only this "snd_ad1816" driver by typing "kldload 
snd_ad1816" or 
adding "snd_ad1816_load="YES"" in /boot/loader.conf file, I have the following 
message: 
 
"Sound server informational message: 
Error while initializing the sound driver: 
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory) 
The sound server will continue, using the null output device." 
 
At the same time there is no record in /dev/sndstat file and no /dev/dsp file. 
 
2. There is no such bad message when I load all!!! drivers: "kldload 
snd_drivers" or add 
"snd_driver_load="YES"" in /boot/loader.conf file. But still no sound! 
On the other hand several empty /dev/dsp files appears: 
dsp0.0;dsp0.1;dspr0.1;dspW0.0;dspW0.1. 
 
And the following record appears in /dev/sndstat: 
"FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) 
Installed devices: 
pcm0:  at io 0xfebff800, 0xfebff400 irq 17 bufsz 16384

I will be appreciate if someone can help me.

5.4: sendmail doesn't deliver to local user?

[Rob]

Hi,

Sendmail refused to deliver to myself as a local user
on my 10.0.0.3 IP configured PC; this IP is behind a
dual-homed gateway.

/etc/rc.conf:
  hostname="simulation"
  sendmail_enable="YES"

/etc/hosts.allow:
  sendmail : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow

/etc/hosts
  10.0.0.3 simulation simulation.

So I can ping 'simulation' as 10.0.0.3. No problems!

In /etc/mail I have done:
  # make all install
  # /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart

When I now send email to my own login account:
  $ mail -s "subject" rob < somefile.txt

I don't receive anything in my mailbox. In
/var/log/maillog I get:

Why does it time out on "antivortex.snu.ac.kr", if
I only send the mail to my local account.

Note that "nslookup simulation.snu.ac.kr" indeed
gives 'antivortex.snu.ac.kr' and its IP number.
Apparently somebody else on the 'real internet' also
uses an alias for my hostname 'simulation'.
But why does that stop sendmail delivering locally?

Any idea what's wrong here?
Thanks for your help.
Rob.

setting an alias in .cshrc with parentheses in it ...

[Joe Schmoe]

Hello,

I often run this command:

lynx -useragent "blah blah (compatible; MSIE blah
blah)"

Note that the custom referrer string that I set
includes parentheses.

So, to save time, I added this line to my .cshrc:

alias lynx lynx -useragent "blah blah (compatible;
MSIE blah blah)"

However, when I run lynx, I get this error:

Badly placed ()'s

If I escape the parentheses with a backslash in
.cshrc, it also doesn't work - it splits the line up
and lynx thinks that the next command line argument
begins where the first backslash is inserted.

So how do I include a command alias that contains
parentheses into .cshrc ?

thanks.

Re: How can I log every login via telnet?

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for.

I'd be mainly interested in restricting which user names can log on from
the Net through telnet, rather than which IP addresses.

Also, securing the traffic over the telnet session is unimportant
(including passwords), because none of the telnet use would involve
anything confidential.  I mainly want to ensure that only a select
handful of users can actually log in through telnet, and that those uses
cannot escape to a shell by any means or otherwise stray outside the
program that I want to run immediately upon login.  I've tweaked my test
program to eliminate possible buffer overflows on input and it has no
facility for escaping to a shell, and it does virtually no file I/O and
only to hard-coded paths, so hopefully it's not too much of a risk.

Re: beastie 5.X boot menu

[Tomas Quintero]

Theres a few ways to disable beastie, and sorry for the top posting:

Firstly, there was a large discussion about this started by someone
and it is on marc.theaimsgroup

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questions&w=2&r=1&s=Stupid+ASCII+loader+prompt+&q=b

I didn't feel like reading them all again, but the answer to your
problem IS in one of those.

The way to disable the beastie loader is:

in /boot/loader.conf set
beastie_disable="YES"

Enjoy,

I'm sure many of us would prefer to see KGI in the long run. However,
that's not going to happen for quite some time. For now, this does the

how to modify "configure"?

[T.F. Cheng]

Hi, I am installing an app starting with
"./configure", it failed while looking for
"jpeglib.h". I have that under "/usr/local/include"
but I guess it only looked into "/usr/X11R6/include".
I am not a source coder to begin with, and I read
"INSTALL" and found out that I can generate a new
"configure" file by running "autoconf259
configure.ac". I thought it would work, but still
failed to locate "jpeglib.h". Can anyone give me a
hand here? Much appreciated.



Best Regards,

Tsu-Fan Cheng

Check /var/log/auth.log.  They should be logged there by default.  You
could also use tcpwrappers for better control over access and
logging.  See /etc/hosts.allow and "man 5 hosts_options".

gpg-agent help

[Damian Gerow]

I'm trying to get gpg-agent to work with mutt, with very little success.  I
start up the agent in ~/.xinitrc:

eval `/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent --daemon -s`

Have gnupg configured to use the agent in .gnupg/gpg.conf:

use-agent

And use what seems to be a pretty standard agent configuration:

pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800

The problem is that GnuPG doesn't seem to want to actually /use/ the agent.
When I try to sign something, pinentry-qt launches, I enter my passphrase,
and the file is successfully signed.  Every time.  There's no passphrase
caching (which is what gpg-agent does, correct?).  The only thing that might
be weird is that my signing key is actually a /secondary/ key, but I
wouldn't have thought that would cause issues.

gpg throws no errors.  Nothing about gpg-agent not being available.  It just
plain doesn't seem to want to work for me, nor tell me why:

% gpg -v -as test.txt 
gpg: using secondary key 9C22B029 instead of primary key C2889CC9

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for

finger not working, service very slow with ldap

Howdy,

and it returns "user mjuszczak not found".  Whats funny is that it returns 500 
entries, even though there is only one mjuszczak user.  This could also be the 
reason that logging into the server is taking absolutely forever.  A login 
takes about a minute, and the tail -f of ldap.log with loglevel 128 shows it 
searching every single user, all 7000 ... for some reason.  Could my indexes in 
slapd.conf possibly be off, or is this something I messed up in freebsd's 
pam.d?

Here is the index list btw for slapd.conf, but of course if this is an 
ldap problem I will be contacting that email list anyway.

Seriously?

Well, let's see.

ACPI:  see "man acpi" for a start.
Safe Mode: configures the system to avoid all possible hardware
compatibility problems, at a severe cost in performance.
single user mode: see the Handbook.
verbose logging: many informational messages will be logged (by the
kernel) to the console in the process of booting.
Escape to loader prompt:  see "man loader".
USB keyboard: take your computer to your nearest computer store and
ask them whether you have a USB keyboard or not.

Generally, "default" will be the right answer unless you know you need
something else.

Good luck.

Could I do something similar for logging scponly?  I have scponly 
installed and would like to log everyones logins and all files that get 
transferred.  I cannot fins any features in the program itself to do the 
logging so I think that syslog is the choice.

Is that all there is to implementing syslog logging or do i need to make 
sure that scponly spits out info that can be logged?

Try running fstat(1) against /dev/cuaa0 to try to find out what's
holding the device. If I understand you correctly, you're doing this
on the 4.10 machine.

Make sure that you haven't got a getty running at the same time on
both sides, and that you've got a null-modem connection between the two
hosts instead of a straight thru'.

*default compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.
Good luck,
If I'm not mistaken, he did mention the ports supfile. What I gave him 
(assuming he only wants one supfile for ports, and one for src) is simply 
that.

It's a very basic, to the point supfile. He needs nothing more then what I 
posted. The above reflects (to me atleast) the makings of a supfile for 
gathering the src tree.

Perhaps I read him wrong, perhaps I took for granted he only wanted a 
ports supfile. If I'm right, then what I gave him is all he needs. He does 
not need to be muddied with thigs that have zero to do with supping the 
ports tree.

	I don't think you want "tag=." as the default.  That would put you the 
most current sources for the OS, which may have plenty of transient

Re: Cannot use cvsup with 5.3-release

[Todd Shirk]

I ran into a problem like that when I did an upgrade to 5.4-prelease. 
I found for me, that for port updates it seems to look at your release
level in your options.  I went into root and ran sysinstall.  I
selected Options.  At the bottom of the left hand column is the option
Release Name.  I changed it to 5.3-RELEASE.  I'd probably check there,
another thing I'll do is try a couple other cvsup sites.

Re: Sysinstall + CVSup or just CVSup?

The short answer is that you can do it, and it will probably cost you
some time.  The slightly longer answer is that how much time you save
(by downloading the ports tree before doing a cvsup on it) depends on
a number of factors, most notably your network bandwidth.  There also
are a few possible "gotchas" to keep in mind if you "adopt" an
existing tree this way: see the CVSUP FAQ at
http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html
and particularly the questions in the "Recipes" section.

Issue compiling JDK15

[Todd Shirk]

Hi,

I've been attempting to compile JDK15 on my AMD64 laptop.  I have
linux redhat 8 installed for linux compatibility and the
linux-sun-jdk1.4.2 installed so that the /usr/ports/java/jdk15 would
use the appropriate javac compiler to compile JDK15 natively.  I reach
a point where I receive the following message.

execv(): Bad address
Error trying to exec /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/javac.
Check if file exists and permissions are set correctly.
gmake[3]: *** [.compile.classlist] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java/java'

Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15.

I've checked and /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/javac exists and
permissions appear adequate.  For giggles I chmod 777 on the file with
the same results.  Any thoughts?

Thanks

Cannot use cvsup with 5.3-release

[Tetsuji \"Maverick\" Rai]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


I want to keep my ports up to date. in 5.3-release (i386)

So I copied a sample ports-supfile and edit as follows (just changed
my host)

However I got this message and I cannot figure out what "Release"
means.   In
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-CONFIG-VERS
Release is defined as "cvs."


su-3.00# cvsup -g -L 2  ports-suprile

Re: automount usb flash drive?

[Todd Shirk]

Seems like the only thing that will work for me is to make a one-line
shell script.  I tried the various things you mentioned.  I have yet
to look at how to use amd(8).  Setting vfs.usermount=1 and changing
the ownership to the user name in question allows me to mount the
usbkey without su'ing.  I still can't get the usbd.conf to run an
attach command on the umass* action.  Thanks for your help.

I think this is due to using DMA for ATAPI (i.e. accessing the CDROM),
which many drives do not support properly.  This was recently
disabled, so the next RC should work.  If not, send mail to stable@
instead of questions@

That's exactly what I'm doing except the hosts are named hercules and pandora. 
A little exploring and I find that hercules can't telnet to pandora port 25 
and the other way too. This looks like the mail "Sendmail + No Response from 
Port 25" I just spotted on the list.

Freebsd Foundation and Java Binary Support/Licenses

[Jeff Mohney]

Hello.
I have two questions:

1. When will the freebsdfoundation site be up and running again, it
appears that the sub-pages are still not avail and the website says:

 March 11, 2005 - www.FreeBSDFoundation.org temporarily unavailable
due to hardware failure.
Due to a hardware failure, the FreeBSD Foundation web site is
temporarily unavailable. The full site will be restored within a few
days.


2. My understanding is that jdk/jre support in 5.x is only available
via linux emulation and or linux emulation to get a build to get to a
FBSD binary version - ick.

If I understood correctly 4.x has the binary version w/out all the
downloading from sun and what not.  I heard at one point that the
Foundation was renegotiating w/ sun so that 5.x could have the same -
Is there any news on this? (I would check the foundation site for it
but it is down as previously mentioned).

Many thanks in advance.

ipfw + pipe and icmp

[aksis]

Hi,

I want to allow *all* icmp traffic on the firewall, but I don't want 
*incoming* traffic to be able to over whelm my connection, so I am going to 
use ipfw pipe.

I just wanted to double check and make sure what I am going to do will work 
the way I think it will:

... snip ...
cmd="ipfw add"
oif="tun0"
skip="skipto 6"
ks="keep-state"

#  ping -s 56 -c 10 
# 56 translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with 
# the 8 bytes of ICMP header data, thus for the pipe:
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 640bits/s <-- will this and queue need a rule number?
$cmd add queue 1 icmp from any to any in via $oif $ks <--  rule number? 
... snip ...
$cmd 100 divert natd ip from any to any in via $pif
$cmd 101 check-state
... snip ...
$cmd 200 add queue 1 icmp from any to any in via $oif $ks
$cmd 201 $skip icmp from any to any out via $pif $ks
$cmd 202 $skip add allow log icmp from any to any $ks
... snip ...
$cmd 5 deny all from any to any
$cmd 6 divert natd ip from any to any out via $pif
$cmd 60010 allow ip from any to any
... snip ...

I belive this will limit all incoming icmp traffic to 640bits/s but not any 
outgoing, or, replys to outgoing thus making icmp flooding imposable. Please 
correct me if I am wrong, (did i form the rules correctly?), or if I should 
go about this another way.

Also, how much bandwidth does a single default sized ping packet consume? 
Should I raise or lower the limit, (I don't want the replies to be false or 
give to much slack)? This is a part that I'm not clear on at all. I don't 
belive more then 10 pings should be considered.

Also, if I start using rules with pipes, will I need to rewrite all the rules 
to use pipes or will only the rules with pipes be limited and everything else 
will operate on default?

No problem.

Anyway, because of your reply I double checked my setup and found out 
that FreeBSD does indeed answer to multicast ping requests. There just 
does not seem to be a sysctl switch to turn off this behaviour (as there is for 
IPv4).

Thank you,

Using cvsup is the way to go for getting the latest ports.  I believe
that you can use cvsup without installing the ports collection from
cd.  I would suggest configuring the ports-supfile and running cvsup
(cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile).  You should also update your base with
cvsup and make buildworld as described in the handbook.

Graham,
  After taking a quick look at SME I can see it's appeal.  I'm not
sure if there is an equivalent for FreeBSD, but it would be a nice
addition.  Webmin does allot of this functionality as well if you
haven't taken a look at that.  To start a project like SME all you
need to do is start hacking, and provide a web based community for it
so that others are aware of it and possibly start helping out. 
Because they are both *nix based operating systems you may be able to
start by porting the web manager from SME to FreeBSD 5.4 +.

I (with a little help from a good friend ) figured out an solution to
the problem, in switching my brand new ata133 ide-cable to an "old
school" ata33 ide-cable FreeBSD sets my drives to UDMA3 and boots up
alright..

key commands here:

atacontrol list
and
atacontrol mode 

( my buddy had come across some message telling about how SiS had
created an new "SiS 5513" chipset with the same tag.. unfortunal he
didn't remember where that message were. But it would make sense why
FreeBSD tryies  to use UDMA5 on my UDMA3 only atachipset.. )

puc, ppc and MosChip SemiConductors Nm9805 Parallel Port Adapter

[David Taylor]

Hi,

I've got an amd64 box with 1 built-in parallel port, which works fine.

I also bought an add-on parallel port adapter card (a MosChip
SemiConductors Nm9805 chip).  After discovering puc, I enabled
device puc and the card is now detected by puc, but doesn't
appear to be picked up by the ppc driver.

I'm running -STABLE from about 24 hours ago.

In dmesg:
puc0:  port
0xd000-0xd00f,0xd400-0xd407,0xd800-0xd807,
0xdc00-0xdc07,0xe000-0xe007,0xe400-0xe407
irq 19 at device 8.0 on pci0
puc: name: NetMos NM9805 1284 Printer port
puc0: Reserved 0x8 bytes for rid 0x10 type 4
at 0xe400 port rid 16 bst 0, start e400, end e407
puc: Using ppc0
puc: type 2, bar 10, offset 0

In pciconf -lv:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8:0:  class=0x078000 card=0x00101000
chip=0x98059710 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'MosChip Semiconductors (Was: Netmos Technology)'
device   = 'Nm9805 Parallel Port Adapter'
class= simple comms

However, despite the 'using ppc0' line, ppc0 is never mentioned again.

The on-board parallel port is allocated to ppc1:
ppc1: 
port 0x778-0x77b,0x378-0x37f irq 7 drq 3 on acpi0
ppc1: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc1: FIFO with 16/16/9 bytes threshold
ppbus0:  on ppc1
ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP
Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0:
ppbus0:  MLC,PCL,PML
lpt0:  on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port

However, ppc doesnt appear to exist:
# sysctl dev.ppc.0
sysctl: unknown oid 'dev.ppc.0'

Since the card is detected, and the puc driver claims to be 'using ppc0',
I'm not really sure what to try now.  Any one have any ideas?

P.S. Please CC me on any replies, as I am not subscribed to this list.

Ah.  You're right; I was thinking about error handling because that's
the code I happened to be working with this morning.  I was looking at
the error handling code, as well, so when I said it was impossible I
may have been wrong also.  [The ICMP6_ECHO_REQUEST handling in
icmp6_input() doesn't do any special handling for multicast at all, so
I don't see why it doesn't Just Work.]

Sorry for not paying enough attention to the question.

You can use 'from (tun0)', where the interface name is put in
parentheses, and pf will automatically note when that interface changes
its IP address, without the need to reload the ruleset.

Make sure you have a nvidia graphiccard. install the nvidia drivers from
the ports. fetch the linux installer for Doom3:

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/linux/doom3-linux-1.1.1286.x86.run

Install Doom3 and play.

Have fun,

The section you are referencing in RFC 2463 is concerning ICMP 
ERROR messages. Echo requests/responses are informational 
messages, therefore this section does not apply.

The same RFC 2463, section 4.2 states:

   An Echo Reply SHOULD be sent in response to an Echo 
   Request message sent to an IPv6 multicast address.  The 
   source address of the reply MUST be a unicast address 
   belonging to the interface on which the multicast Echo Request 
   message was received.

Therefore, the OS _should_ respond to a multicast echo request!

The default compile options for FreeBSD (including -STABLE, -CURRENT as
well as releases) do not include any debug flags.

Even if you do compile with '-g' it will not slow down the code at all.
The only drawback will be that the extra debug info will take up extra
space on the disk.

Using ppp/tun0 manually, how to trigger 'pf' automaticaly

[O. Hartmann]

Hello.
I use the ppp utility to configure and setup a line (at the moment no 
other way possible). How can I trigger 'pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf'
after the line has been setup to make pf working with the tun0 assigned IP?

Or are there other way doing so?

Debug tags in FreeBSD

[O. Hartmann]

Dear Sirs.
Sometimes I watch compiling 'world' or 'kernel' and recognize some '-g' 
options while compiling, especially when doing so with a FreeBSD 
5.X-STABLE branch.
Are all pre-releases of FreeBSD due to development and bug tracking 
'tagged' with debugger options and do they go away with a 'RELEASE' (or 
is this simply a stupid rumor that all STABLE versions are still tagged 
to be debugged)?

The reason why I ask is simple. I need my FreeBSD box for scientific 
researches and would like to squeeze out as much power as possible and 
therefor debugging options are meant to slow down code.

I'm not a development thug, so if this question sound stupid, I would 
regret bothering you. Hope someone will answer.

I went into some problem when using the patch on my own laptop, which

really annoying.  I would appreciate if someone can fix the issue.

No, you don't replace the password, you just insert an invalid character

is typically an asterisk.  To unlock the account, you remove the 
asterisk.  It's how pw usermod -L and -U work.

For the OP, it's important to use all three approaches if your victim is 
untrustworthy.  If you change the password but nothing else he can still 
get in via SSH; if you change the shell but nothing else he can still 
get in via FTP (possibly); if you change the home directory but nothing 
else he can still get in via SSH (and mess with /tmp or /var/tmp).  So 
if you are locking out the user to preserve evidence of some misdeed, be 
sure to do all three.

If this is just a real-life buddy who's welching on some money he owes 
you, though, doing only one will probably be sufficient.  (Well, doing 
one and saying things to him like "I bought a .45 last week" and "It

It could well be disk failure, but check a couple of simpler things
first.  Number 1, make sure that you have turned on automatic sector
remapping on that disk.  How you do that can vary by disk
manufacturer, but see the FAQ entry on bad block remapping.  Number 2
is to get a new disk cable; cable problems are at least as common as
disk failures in my experience, and it's *really* annoying to replace
a disk and find that the problem wasn't the disk in the first place.

FreeBSD Update or something similar (e.g., you could put a simple
version together with rsync).  Or build your own releases on the
master machine and let the other machines update to them via anonymous
FTP.  There are a huge number of possibilities, limited only by the
amount of effort you're willing to put into them.

No.  That would violate RFC 2463, section 2.4(e.2).
As well as being a bad idea.

If you need it for some custom application that won't be

x11 help

[Dennis Olvany]

I'm attempting to run the Doom 3 Linux binary on FreeBSD 5.3. I really have no 
idea how to get x11/Doom 3 started. I've tested my x11 configuration with [Xorg 
-config xorg.conf.new] and it seems to work well. I'm sure Doom 3 expects x11 
to already be running in the form of KDE or Gnome, but I would like to run Doom 
3 directly from the command line. I have no idea how to get x11 started and 
then launch Doom 3.

Your "modem" is clearly the source of the problem, and it seems
unlikely that anything on the FreeBSD side could help, aside from
maybe forcing a lease free before starting dhclient on startup.

I'd try looking at the configuration for that "modem" device, or
possibly for a firmware upgrade for it.

sysctl hw.ncpu, I think.
You can also look at /var/run/dmesg.boot and look for:
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
 cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID:  1
 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID:  0
BSP stands for bootstrap processor and AP for application processor. 
The BSP is the one used to load the system until this message comes up:

SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
which will happen right before the kernel launches init.
try top(1)
the output of top should contain a "C" column. if this column contains 
"0"s and "1"s both your CPUs are used

There is a line for cpu put it only shows one. Im used to linux and when
I do a top in Linux I see two lines for my cpus.
You are looking in the wrong place.  A C *column*, not a CPU *row*. 
FreeBSD will only ever show the total CPU time on the CPU row.  This is 
something like what you will see on an SMP system:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZERES STATE  C   TIME   WCPUCPU COMMAND
89704 emccoy960  2484K  1660K CPU1   0   0:00  0.51%  0.05% top
97005 root  960  3092K  1248K select 1  29:28  0.00%  0.00% ntpd
First, note the state for top: it's CPU1.  Second, the "C" column is 0 
for top, 1 for ntpd.  The "C" column is the last CPU the process ran on.

The WCPU and CPU columns, by the way, are both *per-CPU*, as you can see 
here:

CPU states:  2.7% user,  0.0% nice, 47.5% system,  0.8% interrupt, 49.0% 
idle
89739 emccoy   1100  1324K   684K CPU0   0   0:43 99.00% 87.50% cat

So another way to tell if SMP is working is if the summary row says 50% 
idle but you've got a process which shows 100% active.

Is the stock kernel that gets installed when doing a new install smp
enabled?
No.
Do i need to rebuild my kernel for smp?
Yes.  The good news is that it's very easy.  The Handbook has 
information on how to do it.  Basically all you need to do is add 
"options SMP" and make sure "device apic" is enabled (it is by default I 
believe, even for the GENERIC kernel).

Generally speaking, a program looking to resolve a hostname to an IP 
will first consult /etc/hosts, which is a simple text file you can 
examine or edit as you wish.  If the hostname which needs to be resolved 
isn't present in that file, the program will consult DNS via the 
network.  DNS uses port 53 and it can use either TCP or UDP, though in 
practice a client will never use TCP.  (TCP is used mainly for zone 
transfers and the like, which are server-to-server.)

The rule of thumb for Unix is not to use hostnames in startup scripts, 
because it's possible that DNS will not be available when they are run. 
  It can take over a minute for a DNS query to time out.  Besides, it 
also makes you vulnerable to DNS hijacking.  Instead, use IPs or put an 
entry in /etc/hosts if you must.

Incidentally, the firewall rules to allow DNS would be
ipfw add allow tcp from me to any 53 setup keep-state
ipfw add allow udp from me to any 53 keep-state
As a technical aside, the name resolution path I described above is not 
the way it has to work, just the way it is configured by default.

will this be autoconfigured ?
No, though the above rules should be in the sample ipfw script which 
comes with FreeBSD.

Re: how to enable PHP on Apache?

[Yoann Le Bihan]

Hello ! :-)

You just need to install mod_php port. It's located into
/usr/ports/www (there are a mod_php4/ and a mod_php5/ directories).
Just "make install clean" from one or two of these directories and it
must be installed. Because I think it's not installed (even if it's
mentionned in httpd.conf... it's strange by the way :-).

Don't forget to make a "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart" after (if
it's not already done from the port's installation).

Best regards,

YLB.

ps2pdf and ps2epsi behaving strange

[Andreas Davour]

After using these tools, installing the epsmegre port (and some others) 
and then removing the latter again, the former have stopped working!

bash-2.05b$ ps2pdf elcFront.ps
Unknown device: pdfwrite
bash-2.05b$ ps2epsi elcFront.ps
Unknown device: bit
bash-2.05b$
How come those devices they ask for have dissapeared, or why have they 
suddenly developed a need for them?

Oddly enough, ps2epsi seems to produce the correct output, regardless of 
the error - ps2pdf not so.

I have reinstalled ghostscript-gnu, but it didn't solve the problem.
Are there some port around that messed with them in a way that didn't 
showed up untill I pkg_delete'd those ports?

I can imagine it would.  If there was a command= (could be, but

In general FreeBSD works with Windows XP side by side. Do
you get this error message while booting from CD, during
preparation of partitions or installation or at the first
boot of an installed system? What's the role of Partition
Magic? If you made room for FreeBSD with Partition Magic
then you don't need it anymore and it might be totally
unrelated to your problem.

Problem with partitioning

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Dear all,
I have been trying to install FreeBSD 5.3, and having problems with partitions.
My HD configuration was as follows:
- one IBM 30 GB HD (seen as ad0 by FreeBSD booted from CD, and as /dev/hde by
Linux) with a FAT32 partition (WinME), a Ext3 partition (Mandrake Linux 8.1) and
a Linux Swap partition
- one Maxtor 200 GB HD (seen as ad1 by FreeBSD and as /dev/hdg by Linux) with a
FAT32 partition (no OS on it), a Ext3 partition (Slackware Linux 10.1) and 100
GB free space.
The OSes are booted by Lilo installed on the MBR of the first disk.
I made a 30GB partition for FreeBSD and installed the system on it, leaving the
MBRs untouched. It did give me a warning about wrong disk geometry, but
otherwise the installation seemed OK.
Now what happens is:
- WinME can't see the FAT32 partition on the Maxtor disk (let alone the other 
ones);
- Mandrake Linux and Lilo can't see any partition on the Maxtor disk (so I can't
boot the OSes on this disks);
- Knoppix 3.7 (a live Linux CD) can see the partitions on the Maxtor disk (even
the sub-partitions in the FreeBSD partitions - let me apologize here for not
using the proper FreeBSD terminology) but it can't mount them properly;
- FreeBSD (booted from CD) can see and mount everything properly.
A couple more notes:
- I made the partitions on the Maxtor CD with Slackware's fdisk;
- When I boot from the FreeBSD cd (or Freesbie) I need to choose safe mode, or
it will hang after detecting the Maxtor disk (maybe I should have taken this in
more account...).
Any idea on what went wrong and how to fix it? The data already on the Maxtor
disk are not critical, but I would prefer to recover them.
Thanks,
Marco

ssh port forwarding might get you round the firewall. For actually getting the

I have a ASUS A7V600-X motherboard, and sound came out the mic (pink) socket 
until I used this patch:

rtc question

[dick hoogendijk]

I decided to remove polling and hz=1200 from my kernel. The system was
slower. Things run pretty smooth now (duron-800/512Mb) with the default
HZ=100, /but/ :

Now vmware3 is complaining about the rtc : timing error, please
increase...
The virtual machine itself runs just fine. If it does no harm I want to
stick to the HZ=100. What does this rtc message mean and what are the
consequenses? An unstable system?
