Sure. Step 5 is accomplished by not having a line like lpd_enable=yes in /etc/rc.conf. I had one from when I was using lpd. Step 6 is just 'sudo rm -f /usr/bin/lp?*'. /usr/bin/lp is mildly useful, and will be recreated. There's also a knob to the cups port which lets you override the system default programs, but I'm unsure what it is. A quick grep shows me nothing (likely grepping in the wrong dir). Step 7 is just adding the lines: NO_LPR=yes 6.x and older WITHOUT_LPR=yes 7.x and newer to /etc/make.conf. In 7.x and newer you can add it to /etc/src.conf as well.

Can't configure Xorg of FreeBSD 6.0 STABLE
Just got done installing FreeBSD 6.0 STABLE from CD on a Compaq Proliant 2500 formerly running RedHat FC4. Relatively painless install thank you, though, I have a steeper learning curve than anticipated. I am following the 2005 FreeBSD Handbook and successfully built a new kernel for this machine, which booted and enabled both processors. I was having a niggly problem with a drive so I had to reinstall. The problem I had on the first try has re-emerged on this install. I cannot get Xorg to start. I built a proper xorg.conf but when trying to 'startx' the xserver bombs with a logged 'xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O'. I googled one similar problem from a 5.4 install and it suggested building a kernel with 'device io'. It would seem that GENERIC would have this, though maybe not? I am using a PCI S3 Virge card not the onboard Cirrus video device. My other logs give no clue as to a device not found. In addition to the above, the handbook I have, suggests in Chap. 20 - The Cutting Edge, to do 'make buildworld', 'make buildkernel', and 'make install kernel'. Is this the normal order of things, even with a STABLE source tree?

Hmmm... chdir(2) would not change the parent process' (the shell's process) current working directory, only the current working directory of the process running the C program.

It seems to open up a new shell, then execute the command, and then exit that new shell it had opened. So, my question is how can I get it to execute a cd in the current shell using c code. You don't have to give me the code, just give me a term to search for or a function to look up. I'm sure someone knows how to do it here! Thanks in advance for the help!

SIGCHLD and sockets
I am having a problem with SIGCHLD signals and their interaction with sockets. I have an application that forks modules in separate processes and use UNIX domain sockets for communication. The main application handles the SIGCHLD signal so that it can detect when/if a module crashes and if so restart that specific module. The problem arises when the module crashes and before the main application is notified with the SIGCHLD signal the socket will continue to allow writes. I expected that there would be occasions when the SIGCHLD signal would occur after my attempt to write into the socket, but I also expected the socket to return an error at which point I could then mark the module for restart as well. My question is, has anybody else had this problem? Does anybody know exactly what is going on an why? And most importantly, does anybody have a solution? Thanks in advance for your time, it is quite an interesting problem so I am hoping to get some insightful answers.

Re: jdk15 on 6.0

The jvmg probably needs to be manually set using an -Xms/-Xmx value that will give it enough room to work with. To the JVM, swap space isn't the same as physical RAM.

If you could even put at least 512MB in that box just for the build, then take it out to run it, you would probably succeed.

(8) Set printer to draft mode via cups for testing (9) Use firefox to generate test prints.

(I think) That would be unusual behaviour for ntpdate, and probably constitute a bug. ntpdate should always set the time (unless you use -d) Do you have a somewhat high securelevel? From man securelevel: 2 Highly secure mode - same as secure mode, plus disks may not be opened for writing (except by mount(2)) whether mounted or not. This level precludes tampering with file systems by unmounting them, but also inhibits running newfs(8) while the system is multi- user. In addition, kernel time changes are restricted to less than or equal to one second. Attempts to change the time by more than this will log the message ``Time adjustment clamped to +1 second''.

RE: ATA Drive Issues
Ville, Yes I definitely noticed the "blame the hardware" issue. I suppose it is just the communities way of going through the process of elimination. The upgrade to 6.1 seems to be the best thing I have done so far. Now if I can just figure out why the 5.4 machine doesn't reboot on panics. I worry that 6.1 also has this issue but since it hasn't paniced I can't tell.

Hi, I had similar issues with a server freezing, and it also turned out to be WRITE_DMA failures on one of the (SATA) HDs. This was on 6.0-release, and upgrading to 6-stable helped. Nice to see it fixed your problem, too. 6.1 seems to be a really stable and performing branch. When reporting problems for HDs, it's good policy to always state the HD and motherboard/chipset brand, and to point out if/when one has checked/renewed the cabling (as you did). Also test results from smartmontools and HD manufacturer disk tests are good to state. Even when doing this, the FreeBSD community is peculiarly keen on blaming everything on failing HW and bad cabling. My experience is, though, that the first thing to blame (when cabling and HDs have passed tests), is the HD controller, especially when it's one of the crappy ones, like Silicon Image 3xxx. These crappy chipsets results in that FreeBSD doesn't have good support for them, as they are unreliable per definition. I don't meen to critisize FreeBSD, on the contrary. But it's a bit annoying to always get responses to all HD related stuff that "your HW is failing", when everything you've done for the last week is tests which claim it isn't. I'm not familiar with the innards of FreeBSD, so could someone explain why FreeBSD is so picky about cabling? I'm pretty well-read in physics, so the theory of FreeBSD using less-energetic electrons to pass data in the cables doesn't seem to hold up (insert smiley here).

Re: Server time doesn't want to stay set (Solved)
Okay, I feel pretty stupid... the key is to google with more the pertinent query... The missing piece of information was the message from the kernel... "Time adjustment clamped to +1 second" The time was trying to be set properly, but couldn't because the kernel.secure.level was set to 2. So, set it back to 0 and then ran the ntpdate again and everything is fine now. Thanks for all of the help.

Probably it means that the other system was down/unavailable/refusing to accept mail. The system trying to send it will attempt to repeat the message for a period of time. Then it gives up and sends a message back to the original sender saying it gave up. The period of time is configurable and is typically 5 days, but that is often shortened by some system managers.

Re: Server time doesn't want to stay set (help!)
Geeze, this is very frustrating. :-) I rebooted and went into the BIOS. It was set to the correct time. During the boot process, a message comes up and says that the time has been adjusted. When it's finished, the system time is 4 hours behind. I immediately did tzsetup, told it that UTC was not set in the BIOS, then proceeded to select the appropriate timezone. I still get: #web date Mon Apr 3 08:46:13 EDT 2006 (Note, it's 12:46 pm when I ran this.) web# ntpdate 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org Looking for host 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org and service ntp host found : rrcs-24-123-214-97.central.biz.rr.com 3 Apr 08:54:32 ntpdate[1881]: step time server 24.123.214.97 offset 14443.665454 sec The offset even shows the 4 hours my machine is behind, but it doesn't set the time because the difference is too great.

Does anyone know how to get Firefox 1.5 to *always* start with the ProfileManager? I'm using KDE 3.5, FreeBSD 6.0, Xorg 6.9.0 and Firefox 1.5. I've created an application starter on the menubar that has the path to firefox (/usr/X11R6/bin/firefox) with the argument -ProfileManager. The first time I start Firefox, the profile manager pops up and prompts me to select a profile. All subsequent launches of Firefox use the profile that I selected initially. I want Firefox to prompt me *every* time it starts, because I have created several profiles, each designed to do different tasks and be open in different windows. Each profile uses tabbed Homes so I can start a number of tabs with different tasks in them. I've edited profile.ini as follows: StartWithLastProfile=0 and StartWithLastProfile=1 Neither setting makes any difference at all. Checking and unchecking the box to start on startup *also* does nothing. (As does the prompt to make firefox the default browser.) I even tried removing StartWithLastProfile entirely. *Nothing* works. There's no man pages for firefox, firefox-bin, profile.ini, profilemanager, mozilla or mozilla-bin, and googling has been futile so far.

Asus P3B-F MoBo -> Invalid partition table (5.x, 6.x)
Hi, I ran into an interesting problem installing FreeBSD on the following hardware: MoBo: Asus P3B-F, latest BIOS CPU: PIII, 500MHz HD: Maxtor 90871U2 (9GB) = primary IDE master CD: Sony CDU 4811 = secondary IDE master 256MB RAM Boot Sequence: Floppy, CD, HD FreeBSD is to be installed into two slices on the HD - one slice for everything except /home, the other one for /home. The problem: When installing FreeBSD (doesn't matter 5.x or 6.x) the PC can't be booted off the HD after installation. When trying to boot I get an error message saying "invalid partition table". Digging further into the problem I've found out a workaround: When I change the BIOS-parameters for the HD to "User Defined Harddisk" and "LBA" booting is possible. Even more: during initial installation of FreeBSD it doesn't matter if the setting for the HD in the BIOS is Auto or User-defined/LBA - however when trying to boot off the HD this setting does very well matter. To cross-check I've installed FreeBSD with a HD-setting of Auto, then changed the BIOS to User-defined/LBA and was able to boot the PC from the HD. Please note that this happens with both 5.4, 6.0 and 6.1-Beta4. When checking the BIOS-settings I found out that Auto and User-defined/LBA show different values: Auto-setting: (PC cannot boot from HD with these settings) Cylinders 1024 Heads 16 Sectors 63 CHS capacity528MB Maximum LBA Capacity8700MB User-defined HD / LBA: (PC can boot from HD) Cylinders 1024 Heads 255 Sectors 63 CHS capacity8422M Maximum LBA Capacity8700MB Here are my questions: o) Has anybody else experienced this behavior - possibly also on a PC with Asus P3B-F motherboard? o) Why does this happen? (I suppose something weird with HD-geometry, i.e. the BIOS not reflecting the correct HD-parameters) o) Is there a way to boot with the HD-parameters in the BIOS left to default (Auto)?

The jvmg probably needs to be manually set using an -Xms/-Xmx value that will give it enough room to work with. To the JVM, swap space isn't the same as physical RAM. I have had problems running java applications that have to swap. With Java, physical RAM is crucial. If you could even put at least 512MB in that box just for the build, then take it out to run it, you would probably succeed. Barring that, you're next best bet is probably going to be building it on another box, then doing a pkg_add. -- Thanks!

Re: Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition
> > Hello FreeBSD Fans, > > I wanted to create a new system and was thinking about the following layout. Do you really mean that or to you mean put "root" which is '/' in its own partition? There is no reason to put just /boot in a separate partition. It's just a directory to help keep some things nicely organized and has no real stand-alone value. It is not very large nor does anything write to it in ways that might make it change size in an uncontrolled manner. Those things (size, stand-alone value, may grow in size unexpectedly) are the usual reasons for making a separate partition plus isolating users and projects. > Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system > 100M /boot /dev/ad2s1a UFS2+S > 1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP > 15GB / /dev/ad2s1c UFS2 > > I want to put /boot on its own partition, but somehow I dont have a lot of > luck. > I can install the OS, but when I reboot the bootloader will not boot. > > > No /boot/loader > ... > Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel > boot: > No /boot/kernel/kernel > ... > > 1) I wouldnt mind on which partition "/boot" or "/" sits or what its named, > but I would like to separate "/boot" on a different partition and it seems > like it wouldnt boot when I do this. Is this just a matter of updating the > bootloader ? Wouldnt the installer do that automatically ? The reason it won't boot that way is that everything needed to boot must be in the booting partition because nothing else is mounted at that time. The boot partition must be 'a' and must be montable as '/' (usually called root). During boot, the system does a special read-only mount of the first ('a') partiton in the bootable slice. /boot is supposed to be part of that partition. If you make /boot a separate partition, then it will not be mounted and not be available for the boot process to read. Since there is stuff in there that is needed for boot, then it won't work. Anyway, when the system comes up to a full multi-user mode, it mounts everything as in /etc/fstab. That first (a) partition then is remounted according to what is given in /etc/fstab which must be '/' (eg root) for things to work right and is normally mounted read/write (though there are ways of arranging things to make it work read only). I am guessing you don't understand the meaning of what is in /boot and what it is used for. See first part of my comments. Maybe /boot is an unfortunate name for that directory. Maybe it should really be named kernel.stuff or kernel.loader or something like that. I am guessing the name boot is deceiving you as to its function. jerry > > 2) The part which I dont get is why is "/" always ad2s1a - even when I create > "/boot" first ? ("/boot" will become f.e. ad2s1d) and SWAP will become ad2s1b.

Re: How can I increase the shell's (or specific application's) memory limit?
Hi Daniel, Generally, I think it's bad programming practice to retrieve such big datasets if it is possible to do otherwise. I definitely agree that it is bad practice, and in that respect I'm inclined towards doing batch loading as you suggest too. However, there's some data agregation I'll have to take into account, and as it involves testing for the presence of specific tables of a merge table set, I'd have to rewrite part of that logic. All doable, of course, and no big issue either, but it would be a lot faster for me if I could simply increase the memory limit Still, I very much hear you, and I know that what you suggest _is_ the proper approach, so I may end up doing that too. ;) Also: there is another perhaps more elegant (read: robust) way, being a hybrid solution between the PHP script and using mysqldump. I can then use PHP for working out the batches, and retrieve the batches using a (set of) commandline mysqldump call(s). The generated batches can then directly be dumped into the proper merge tables. The only catch is that I directly left join data in into the merge tables, so I'd have to first do a blunt dump of the lhs of the data, then of the rhs(es) (both to temp tables) and then afterwards left join them into the eventual merge tables. This is the main reason why I hadn't chosen this solution, as at present I can combine all of these steps in one query...:/ If someone knows a clean way to increase the memory limit, I'd be happy to hear about it. If not, I'll do some rewrite...

Concider this example: I needed an app which would write a file which has a set size. The most obvious way to do this, is to make a random string which would be X bytes long. That, however, is not feasible, and very slow. The solution is to find a data size which is not too small and not too big, so disk I/O and CPU time are balanced well. Now, I suggest that you retrieve only a certain amount of SQL rows at a time, process them, and throw them into your local database.

Hi, I've got a question which is probably pretty easy to answer: how can I assign more memory to a PHP script running in a shell and/or in a browser. Some more background info: I'm building a PHP script that has to retrieve pretty large sets of data from a remote MySQL database, then process it, and store the results to a local database. The issue: The script (surprise, surprise) quickly runs out of memory. Now, I have already tried to increase the memory limit in php.ini (followed by an Apache restart, of course), but even when setting the limit to something high like 384MB or so, the script still bails out with a memory limit error when retrieving as little as some 50MB of data... Now, of course I could rewrite my PHP script such that it will retrieve smaller batches of data, but being a programmer I'm lazy, and I'd rather simply assign more memory to the script (actually, it's not only due to laziness, but also due to the fact that the script has to agregate data etc., and I'd rather have it do that in 1 run for a variety of reasons). It seems to me like setting the memory limit in php.ini above a value of 64MB (or so) doesn't seem to have any effect anymore. My assumption then is that the memory limit is somehow enforced elsewhere (the shell perhaps, and/or Apache?). Can anyone tell me how to adjust this such that I can successfully assign say 384MB of memory to PHP scripts ran both from browsers (i.e. through Apache 2.2 and mod_php) as from the commandline? Tnx in advance, and cheers, Olafo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

hi together, 1st the good news: GELI is not the devil in the house! testenvironment: FreeBSD 6.1-BETA4 on Intel Server (X2.8, 2GB) what has been done: - created a new UFS2 partition on a intel SRCS16 w 400GB RAID1 - mount_reiserfs -o ro of a SuSE8.2 reiserfs-Partition (300GB data) - copied some testdata symptoms: if i read the data with vi from the original disk (/dev/ad0s1) which is mounted as reiserfs and read-only, the files are correct. if i copy it with cpio -pdum to the local UFS2 fs, the data get's corrupted. tested with /etc/hosts on the original filesystem (get's mixed up with contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf) strange, uh? being very curious 'bout your ideas upon that ;_) br & cu... ps: extensive memory-tests have been done, hw seems to be ok. really... i tell you! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: ipnat syntax error?
Erik Nørgaard wrote: .. snip .. Well, my suggestion is not to exhaust your precious /28 address space right away. And don't make your life unnecessary difficult, why choose the addreses in the middle for bimap? Rather than using all your external ip's right away I would save some for later expansion, and reserve one for debugging. You may need to connect a laptop on the external net to figure out what's going on. You could do this: x.x.x.0/29 to servers (bimap), x.x.x.8/30 debug and future expansion (not mapped), x.x.x.12/30 map for lan clients. If you stick to cidr you can also write your filter rules in cidr making it far easier to read an maintain. For the mapping, and bimapping consider this: The /24 network you want to map, it contains at most 254 hosts. If you map that network to a single ip, then each host can establish at least 256 simultaneous connections. My experience is that this is far mor than needed in most normal operating environments. I'd suggest using the same ip as on the firewall external interface. If the purpose of binatting is to make one service available, http say, then you may consider using rdr. IIRC you can also use rdr to round robin load balancing incoming connections. That way you can have one host serving http and another serving smtp on the same external ip. The only reason to use different ip's is if you're hosting a number of https servers, each need a different ip. There's no point in bimapping all ports on a external ip to one single internal ip if most of them are blocked by the filter. Cheers, Erik Erik, Thank you again for your advice. Due to historical reasons I can not just take a /29 or /30 block out of the middle of the cidr I will ultimately use -- this FreeBSD server will implement a firewall on an existing connection replacing an old Cisco router that only NAT'd. So I will see if things can work with "just" one "map" with portmaps. Please note that the "-" for the range syntax is documented in several places, not just the FreeBSD handbook and should probably be fixed. Thanks again.

I've never actually used it, but IPsec in transport mode should be capable of what you want, and should not have the negative side effects you describe. At least that's the way it's designed.

Helping interpreting crash
Hi folks, My FreeBSD server (6.0-RELEASE #0) crashed out the other night. I have a custom kernel in place with debugging on so can get the info out the dump in /var/crash Thing is, I'm not sure how to interpret it. I can see all the stuff about ip and the network but I don't know if it means that is the culprit and the handbook only goes into how to get the data out of the dump. So could anyone possibly have a look at below (or tell me of somewhere I can go to get the right info..bearing in mind I don't know all that much about the kernel) and let me know what's up?

Introduction Authpf(8) is a user shell for authenticating gateways. An authenticating gateway is just like a regular network gateway (a.k.a. a router) except that users must first authenticate themselves to the gateway before it will allow traffic to pass through it. When a user's shell is set to /usr/sbin/authpf (i.e., instead of setting a user's shell to ksh(1), csh(1), etc) and the user logs in using SSH, authpf will make the necessary changes to the active pf(4) ruleset so that the user's traffic is passed through the filter and/or translated using Network Address Translation or redirection. Once the user logs out or their session is disconnected, authpf will remove any rules loaded for the user and kill any stateful connections the user has open. Because of this, the ability of the user to pass traffic through the gateway only exists while the user keeps their SSH session open. From here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/authpf.html Ofcourse this does not cover the IP|MAC address checking you mentioned, but I don't see how this enhances security. It will be easy for a user to change his IP|MAC address. HTH, Nikos > Anyone have gone with this solution before?? > > Thanks > > > - > Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

Root on vinum volume on freebsd6.0/sparc64
Hi! Is here a way to place the root partition of freebsd in a mirrored vinum volume? I have read tutorials which explain the procedure in more or less detail, but all the tutorials seem to deal with the x86 version. For example the tutorials assume that freebsd is installed on a slice and that the first 8 sectors of this slice contain the bootstrap. And it tells you to move some partitions a few sectors. On sparc64 I did neither succeed to create overlapping partitions nor is there the possibility to shift a partition a few sectors (to leave space for the vinum configuration data).

It is certainly possible. Basically you just put each OS on a separate slice (either on the same disk, or on separate disks) and use some boot-manager that can be used to choose boot-disk. An article that is getting a bit old, but still should be useful that discusses this can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/multi-os/index.html (The issues mentioned in the artice about the 1024-cylinder limit can be mostly ignored on reasonably modern systems, and there are newer boot-managers available than those described in the article.) > > Best regards > > Nils Valentin > > http://www.be-known-online.com > > > > Quoting Erik Trulsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > >On Mon, Apr 03, 2006 at 02:33:42AM +, > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>Hello FreeBSD Fans, > >> > >>I wanted to create a new system and was thinking about the following > >>layout. > >> > >>Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system > >>100M /boot /dev/ad2s1a UFS2+S > >>1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP > >>15GB / /dev/ad2s1c UFS2 > >> > >>I want to put /boot on its own partition, but somehow I dont have a > >>lot of luck. > >>I can install the OS, but when I reboot the bootloader will not boot. > > > >Don't do that.

If by IMAP format you mean that mail is stored on an imap server then you can copy mails from the gzipped archive, which I assume to be mbox, to the server: Thunderbird AFIAK stores local folders in mbox format, so you can just open the mbox file, mark all and copy to your imap folder and let thunderbird do the hard work. Another solution is to script it. I made a script two years ago for just that as I migrated all my mail to imap - I'll see if I can find that script, but I think tools are also distributed with cyrus-imap.

ipfw plus authentication???
Hi I am looking for ways to manage our LAN by having each user register their ipaddress, mac address, workstation os, etc. in our ldap directory. Now in our pcrouter, the users will first send his login credentials to the pcrouter, and then the pcrouter will check against ldap if this login is correct, and if it is, then it will now do an ldapsearch/compare operation to see if the source address (ip/mac) of the user trying to gain network access is indeed belongs to that user. Only then, the ipfw ruleset will be changed to allow traffic originating from this source address... Anyone have gone with this solution before?? Thanks - Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

I hope not.

In /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini, try enabling/disabling modules, whilst reloading the pages causing the segfault. If you find the offender, try cleaning/recompiling it. (This kind of fiddling around actually helped me out when even phpinfo.php wouldn't completely load for me, until I disabled the imagick module which was misbehaving around that time). -- Riemer PalstraAmsterdam, The Netherlands [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.palstra.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
