Re: root can't write to NFS mounted directory
On Tue, 18 Oct 2005, Mohan Singh wrote: The users who log in via NIS can write to their respective home directories, but root on the NFS client can't. The NFS directories are exported via a NAS. I know it is not a configuration issue on the NFS server, as it previously worked fine, and the only change I have made recently is to wipe and install the client. What setting on the client allows root to write to NFS mounted directories? This behaviour is expected if you haven't set maproot on the server. By default the server will map the root user on the client to nobody on the server. On the server set --maproot=root to give root on the client access as root on the server. - I know you write that it worked and you haven't changed anything on the server, but check it anyway. Anyway, it is not recommended to use --maproot, in particular not for write mounted shares as there is no authentication.

libdl.so.2 not found for java plugin
Hi,
I am trying to get Java plug-in for Mozilla working. I have read the
handbook and compiled/installed ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14/
I can execute /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/java.
When I symlink libjavaplugin_oji.so from
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ to the plugin path in jdk directory, I
get this error message on starting Mozilla:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[Shared object "libdl.so.2" not found, required by
"libjavaplugin_oji.so"]
Help, please!
Other options I have tried:
jdk1.3-> java binary crashes ('OUCH: nested memory code, to 1
levels')
native jdk1.5 -> compile stops after a series of errors ('Java
HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack

Re: Contact Management Software
Thanks for the suggestion of SugarCRM. I think this may work out great for him with a couple of modules. :) Only thing left is to figure out how to print labels/mail merge from it, but their community may have a solution.

PPP setup through OS X
I'm going to be connecting my 5.4 box w/ no monitor to my network, but before I move it to the router area I want to make sure I'll be able to change the network configuration without lugging the box back to where I can plug it into a monitor. Is there a guide or reference to plugging in my Mac OS X laptop directly into my box with PPP to configure it for the network?

I don't think there is one, but I could be wrong. There is a setting which enables/disables global write access to the partition.

I don't know about the answer to your question, but one alternative that may work better for you is to purchase an HP print server (JetDirect) that can take the parallel interface from the printer and then serve it as an IP printer. You may even be able to help mask that by putting it on the network as an IP printer, then use the FreeBSD printer to share it out as a Samba printer to Windows systems (if this is the type of setup you're aiming at) so users can connect still to your FBSD printer server system without knowing that the printer is accessible also as an IP printer. May also save some hair pulling in getting the USB<->Parallel interface working under FreeBSD. -Bart ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ***This Email has been scanned for Viruses by MailMarshal.*** --- The information transmitted in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

There's no ImageMagick-*, > there's only ImageMagick. Thank you for your reply. My mistake with the wildcard was thinking that I had to supply a regexp to match the full "portname-version_info" rather than just the name of the port itself. One of the examples in pkgtools.conf is "apache-1.3.*" and Ms. Lavigne's article (cf. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/09/18/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=2) also uses a "-*" wildcard, although at second reading, there is no real indication of why the author uses the wildcard. Because the ImageMagick port name can change based on build options, I have changed the wildcard to "ImageMagick*". Note this dialogue: # portupgrade -N ImageMagick (portupgrade successfully finds the build args in pkgtools.conf, and builds and installs the port) # portupgrade -n ImageMagick ---> Session started at: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:39:33 -0700 ** No such installed package: ImageMagick ** None has been installed or upgraded. ---> Session ended at: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:39:33 -0700 (consumed 00:00:00) Here we see that despite building successfully, an immediately subsequent upgrade of the same portname fails, with portupgrade claiming that the port is not installed. However, # portupgrade -n ImageMagick-nox11 ---> Session started at: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:46:22 -0700 ** No need to upgrade 'ImageMagick-nox11-6.2.2.1' (>= ImageMagick-nox11-6.2.2.1).

Dell Poweredge 830 with Intel ICH7 Sata controller not finding drives on install
When I type lsdev in the boot loader, it shows the hdd and the partitions that are on it (3 linux). When sysinstall (i've tried with 5.4 and 6.0RC1) starts it says there's no drives, I've done some googling but am not coming back with a lot, someone asked a similar question in early August and there was no posted reply. Anyone know what I can do to try and get this working, I would much much rather be running freebsd than linux. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

[FreeType2] Disabling the antialiasing
Documentation for FreeType2 does not explain the procedure to disable TrueType antialiasing. Varus Online is rebuilding its website, and the new layout template places avatar images (image/png) over some dark areas of the page. The TrueType text is difficult to read as the avatar canvas is white. Glyph hinting has been disabled, but had no effect on the antialiasing. What must be done to disable the antialiasing in FreeType2? If this issue is PHP related and not FreeType2 related, what options must the php5-extensions be recompiled with to disable the antialiasing on the text? Note: the avatar base and avatar items (eyes, hair, clothes, toys, etc...) are not antialiased, the issue is just with the text.

Bluetooth to Cellphone (As a Modem)
Hello, I have a usb bluetooth dongle and a SE T610 cellphone... I want FreeBSD (5.4 or 6.0-RC1; whatever floats your boat as I run both) to use the cellphone as a modem through bluetooth. FreeBSD just needs to dial *99# then so it uses gprs. I checked the handbook but I really couldn't get much out of that as for how you'd use a bluetooth enabled cellphone as a modem. If anyone could either point me to some type of tutorial to do this; or tell me how, i'd appreciate it. - Andre.

I have a new desktop with netbsd 2.0.2 and a portable with freebsd 5.4 (my pet OS but it didn't boot on the compaq evo 510 box; therefore netbsd!).

I haven't studied up on the rc.subr stuff; but I've noticed that many
of the scripts that use it require that an enable line be put in /etc/
rc.conf. Have you tried adding the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
portal_enable="YES"
Best of luck,

why my daemon did not start
Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple RC script to run my little Perl script as
a daemon. The script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
portal_enable=${portal_enable-"NO"}
portal_flags=${portal_flags-""}
portal_pidfile="/var/run/portald.pid"
. /etc/rc.subr
name="portald"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/home/admin/perfectportal/portald.pl &"
load_rc_config $name
pidfile="${portal_pidfile}"
start_cmd="echo \"Starting ${name}.\"; /usr/bin/nice -5 ${command}
${portal_flags} ${command_args}"
stop_cmd="kill `cat /var/run/portald.pid`"
run_rc_command "$1"
If I were to run this manually via
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/portald.sh start
it works. but in a reboot, it does not start.
Can anyone guide me where to find the error message, or (even better) what may
be the problem? Thanks.

MiniDV over firewire howto
Hi, I have just discovered that Canon MiniDV series have different names in US which may explain why I haven't got much response on my previous posts on this. I want to buy a camcorder and like the specs of Canon MiniDV's, I failed when trying MVX200 which is equivalent to the Elura 60 (well Elura some number). Some cameras have both DV in and out, the one I tried only had DV out - can this explain why communication failed? Have anyone succesfully transfered video from a Canon camcorder? - which? When I tried 'fwcontrol -R' I got an "unknown format" error and no frames were transfered - any clues?

Oh, how I loathe those resource forks. I've been experimenting with these resource forks a lot lately (why? a long, boring, and pitiful tale), and I'm happy to report that the Mac actually _does_ seem to preserve the resource forks over NFS. If I copy a file called "file" with a resource fork over NFS to the file server it also copies over a file called "._file" which seems to contain all that nice metadata. Still, I don't trust it.

First, the other syntax seems much more readable:
'mplayer' => [
'WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes',
'WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes',
],
'aumix*' => [
'WITH_GTK2=yes',
],
Second, when portupgrade detects MAKE flags in
pkgtools.conf, it tells you so:
# portupgrade -f mplayer\*
** Custom MAKE_ARGS or -m option is specified
(WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes
WITH_GTK2=yes WITH_LIBDVDNAV=yes WITH_LIBUNGIF=yes WITH_ARTS=yes
WITH_FRIBIDI=yes WITH_CDPARANOIA=yes WITH_LIBCACA=yes WITH_LIBDV=yes
WITH_MAD=yes WITH_AALIB=yes WITH_THEORA=yes WITH_X264=yes WITH_SDL=yes
WITH_ESOUND=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_XANIM=yes WITH_REALPLAYER=yes
WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes WITH_MATROSKA=yes WITH_XVID=yes WITH_LZO=yes
WITH_XMMS=yes )
** Skipping package
---> Using the port instead of a package
---> Reinstalling 'mplayer-gtk-esound-0.99.7_5' (multimedia/mplayer)
---> Building '/usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer' with make flags:

Proper SSH set-up
Hi all, I have some probably straightforward questions regarding SSH, and I couldn't find the answers to all of them using Google, so I hope someone can provide me with them. :) The situation: Last week I added a second (fall-back) server next to my life server, and I want to automate down-syncing from the life server to the fall-back machine. Both machines have an "outside world" connection via one NIC, and both are connected to one another directly via a cross-wire, on a second NIC, on a local 192.168.1.x net. The files get synced using rsync (over the 192.168.1.x net, of course), and I also have prepared a script for dumping the MySQL tables on the live server, and pushing them into the fall-back server over an SSH tunnel (again: on the 192.168.1.x net). My questions mainly concern this last step, as well as general SSH set-up questions. The questions: 1-Which key types are better/preferred: RSA or DSA? 2-If I generate an RSA or DSA key on my fall-back server without a pass-phrase, and allow root access from the life server only (by stating something like AllowUsers [EMAIL PROTECTED] in sshd_config on the fall-back machine), will that somehow compromise the general SSH security of the fall-back machine (as no pass-phrase is then used), for outside world connections? 3-I'm considering enforcing very strict SSH access. Will adding a line to sshd_config like: "AllowUsers [EMAIL PROTECTED] olaf eric" force SSH to ONLY allow those three users (and no other ones), with root only allowed from 192.168.1.1, and the other two users from anywhere in the world? 4-If I add an RSA/DSA key of the life server only to the authorized_keys files on the fall-back server, will SSH still allow me to connect to it using e.g. the user olaf with password authentication from anywhere in the world, or will that one then be locked out until I add the key of each and every machine I need access from to the authorized_keys file?

MySQL syncing
Okay, I want to sync two tables in one database from a master box to a slave. Doing live syncing would be preferable, but not essential (I can cron it to happen every 5 mins or so). I've found SQLyog (http://www.webyog.com/) but its a linux only binary, and I'd prefer not to have to install linux compatibility on my server. I don't want complete replication here cos there are tables in the database that I want to keep separate (e.g. stats).

Re: evolution very slow
I suspect that you have some DNS related problems, i.e. your resolve and/or back resolve queries fail. Check all your DNS configurations :) Ivailo Tanusheff Senior System administrator ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) AD N Deepak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/18/2005 08:24 AM To freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc Subject evolution very slow Hi, I am running FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE. I used cvsup and portupgrade to install evolution. The version is: 2.2.3. The problem is that evolution is too slow. It takes a few minutes after I give the password to show my inbox with hardly 30 e-mails. Moving from one e-mail to another is also very slow, and opening folders with a large number of e-mails is well nigh impossible. My account type is Microsoft Exchange. Any hints or pointers?

AMD problem
Hi There, recently i have ordered "FreeBSD 5.4 CDs" from UK. Presently i am using "Celeron-600 on SiS-630". I know "FreeBSD" will work on my system. since i have Celeron i said to them that i have i386 architecture. Now in the next month i want to purchase a new computer (as i have an old & quite slow machine). I am thinking of buying AMD-athlon-64. I know that FreeBSD will work on AMD64 architecture but what i do not know is will the same CDs will work for AMD64? I mean, does FreeBSD come in different types of hardware dependent CD packs (like Debian GNU/Linux uses 2 diffenent CD packs for x86 and AMD64)? -- if your answer is "hardware dependent CD packs" then i will not buy AMD-athlon-64, instead i will take CeleronD. (and will feel sad as i will not be able to assemble & use a new hardware myself). -- if your answer is "hardware independent CD packs" then i will buy AMD-athlon-64 and take experience in assembling & using a new hardware as i have already assembled Celeron and Pentium because these are frequently used in INDIA. I am learning PROGRAMMING and will take it as my professsion but i also want to have experience of different hardwares (like we have of different languages). ONE MORE QUESTION: My friend has "AMD-sempron - 2500+". Will "FreeBSD" work on this one (I am asking because it is a 32 bit OS and Fedora-Core-3 can not be installed. again i need the answer in the form of "hardware dependent/independent CD packs" can you help me by providing answers to these 2 questions? thanks for your time.
