Server administration while on holiday
Dear list readers, I'm going away on a 2 month vacation in a couple of weeks and I need to find a way I can do simple server administration from remote locations. I will most likely not be able to connect via SSH to my 2 servers (Running FreeBSD 4.5 and 4.6 STABLE) since the only internet access I will have is through various Internet Cafes.

ports upgrade?
First I am sorry if here is not the right place to ask it. I am trying to update a port but I am having a problem. I am in fact having problems while patch'ing my old port. Here is what I have done. #cp -r category/ports category/ports.old #cd category/ports making changes #cd /usr/ports/category #diff -ruN ports.old ports patch I have 2 questions here. 1)I have to remove a directory from my port. How can I do that? I have rm -fr /usr/ports/category/ports/files but it didn't work since patch didn't remove that directory. 2)After patching ports with `patch patch' i see files with *.orig but I think they shouldn't be there. I have read the porters' handbook of course. But I think there can be a ports' upgraders :) section too in that guide.

Hi, I need help with ipfw pipe. Let me tell you I am using bridged where the firewall control entire 11 servers. Now, I wanted ask you how do i set the ipfw pipe statement. Example: # pipe 1 and 2 are 2 dedicated servers and pipe 3 is shared bandwidth 256Kbit/s downstream. ipfw pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0x00ff bw 750kbit/s queue 8Kbytes ipfw pipe 2 config mask src-ip 0x00ff bw 250kbit/s queue 8Kbytes ipfw pipe 3 config mask dst-ip 0x00ff bw 256kbit/s queue 8Kbytes # outgoing ipfw add pipe 1 all from A to any out via any ipfw add pipe 2 all from B to any out via any # incoming ipfw add pipe 3 all from any to A in via any ipfw add pipe 3 all from any to B in via any The outgoing (internet -- NS firewall/bridged/ipfw bandwidth -- dedicated server) did not make any effect when used out that set to 250Kbit/s or 750Kbit/s. How do i get them in effect while the firewall controlled on bridged. The incoming is beautiful working just charm except outgoing. I hope you understand what im trying figure how get it work properly. But if I dont use out in statement. it works fine but the statistical show as double bandwidth usage. Someone told me the firewall pass twice and it makes look twice bandwidth..

Re: FreeBSD Install question
What version of FreeBSD is this for? Can you boot the kern.flp floppy? Does this machine have a network card? If so what kind? Regards, David Yeske I have an older laptop that doesn't have a bootable CD-ROM. The bay either holds a CD Module or a Floppy module so I can't boot off the floppies and install from the CD-ROM. I have installed a small DOS partition and can access my FreeBSD CD-ROM, is there any way to invoke the install from within DOS. (RedHat has a batch file on the CD-ROM that allows the installer to launch, is there anything I can use to do this for FreeBSD?) Is it possible to boot off the floppies, switch out the Floppy module for the CD module and then use the CD? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Rich B __ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

I can dump /home (which is a mount point) without any errors, so its not a problem with /dev/nsa0. What does bad sblock magic number mean?

Unwanted XFree86 stuff in 4.7
This may qualify the most stupid question of the day, but I need to ask since I haven't yet found the answer. On all of the production boxes, I am running 4.5-RELEASE p-20 and have been waiting to take the plunge on 4.7 after it settled down. Last night I installed 4.7-RELEASE from an ISO on a test box. While the install went smoothly, I noticed that a bunch of XFree stuff is installed even though I don't use nor want to run an X server, if this is what XFree pertains to. Further, the first thing I did after the ISO install was to CVSup and then found that a number of ports needed updating all related to XFree It's taking a HUGE amount of time to update things because of this unwanted XFree stuff. None of this XFree stuff is on my 4.5 boxes. First concern was I noticed the f version of cvsup-without-gui install took a loooggg time. NOW FOR THE STUPID QUESTION: What did I do wrong that started this alavanche of XFree installs...?? If so, what do I do to stop it or correct it??? Below is the list of ports installed during the ISO original install. I'm running: # portupgrade -Nai now and it's taking a hour to update the ports listed below. It's still early in the install process, so I can start over (and already have including placing NO_X= true in the make.conf file. I'm assuming I need to place a statement somewhere else to stop this X stuff. Any tips appreciated as I am concerned about the amount of wasted time consumed with X installs.

If not, you installed the GUI version which requires X. Yes, I did see above about the loooggg time at bottom. I always choose without gui.

IPFW/NATD
The answer to this is more than likely 'no'. But I'll try anyways. Setup: NATD/IPFW Say you have an IPFW rule to allow 10.0.0.2 through NATD - thus into the internet - and everything else to be blocked. Your machine (10.0.0.2) that is being firewalled by NATD/IPFW works fine. Then someone else sets their machine up to 10.0.0.2, and now they can also get out into the network (there will of course be an ip conflict). My question is, for security, is there any way to use this type of block based on MAC ID. Almost to bond the MAC ID to the IP Address so the only computer that can use the IP address 10.0.0.2 is with MAC ID whatever?

mergemaster problem
I want to upgrade FreeBSD from 4.62 to 4.7 so I can use openoffice. I find the instructions in the handbook incomplete: 21.4 Using make world In trying to use mergemaster, I find it incomprehensible as to what the program actually does and what I am supposed to direct it to do. It is not clear as to what is done with the master.passwd and group files and where they are installed or how they are modified. I tried to be ultra conservative and backed up the /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd files to *.old and then ran mergemaster. It was thereafter not clear who(what process or program) would use the new file (which, where) or how the files would be merged. I chose the 'm' option to merge the files, assuming that the existing passwords, users and groups would be merged into the new file. Then to verify, I entered the 'v' option; but this produced nothing. Thinking that the backups would be insurance, I then opted for 'i'. On exiting mergemaster, I chose to leave the temp files. I did not run the pwd_mkdb -p as suggested until after verifying the /etc directory and the /var/tmp/temproot/etc directories: SURPRISE the /etc/group, /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files are empty. And there is nothintg in the /var/tmp/temproot/etc directory What in the world is going on here? I have not closed down or rebooted as I am afraid that the whole installation will be lshot to hell.

One example of this would be, if you web server is compromised, and the user gets access as 'httpd' but not as root. Having a firewall will prevent them malicious activity, such as using your machine to launch a DOS attack against another machine, and prevent them running a daemon that allows them to connect to your machine on another port. So you dont need a firewall, but it does make your machine alot more safe if you do. The other option, is you can set the kernel secure level so that users cannot modify the kernel or the firewall rules to get around your security, without having local access to the machine. I appreciate all the input! I think I will be putting up ipfw afterall! I see now that the benefits far outweigh the small amount of time it takes to setup ipfw.

Mergemaster does the compares and produces a list for you to see that represents the diff between your current file and the new one produced by your buildworld. Vipw, for example, will update your password files and also update the password data base. People used to update /dev and not run MAKEDEV when they finished. The result was nothing changed and their system did not have the new devices. Mergemaster knows about most of these programs that need to be run after /etc has been updated and asks you if you want to finish the update. The normal choice is y. If you change the version of sendmail, for example, and don't update the configuration files, you may not have a running sendmail when you have rebooted into your latest version of FreeBSD. My first encounter with mergemaster was, I think, in the FreeBSD-3.1 to 3.2 world. I was trying to follow the transition from one release level to the next. I was also updating /etc manually. They were introducing fixes faster than I could update /etc. Then, I discovered mergemaster and a typical installword session on my fast machines, which includes running mergemaster, requires less than 5 minutes of uptime. It is worth learning how to use it :). I think I am one of the few that won't let mergemaster modify master.passwd, groups, printcap, hosts*, and maybe a couple of other files. When it gets into the merge mode, I feel like I have funnel vision and can't cope with it. So, I read about changes for new users and etc. and add them before I run the buildworld. Some of this you can do with the -p option, but I still prefer looking at the files in 2 windows side by side on a different computer. You can do this from 2 x-window console sessions but I have 2 computers that don't run X and have gotten used to doing this from one central computer.

OT: regex(3) and POSIX collating sequences
Hi.
This is rather off-topic, but as the trouble I'm having is on a FreeBSD
box, I'm hoping you'll excuse me.
What's up with collating sequences and the regcomp(3) function? From the
re_format(7) man page:
Within a bracket expression, a collating element (a character, a multi-
character sequence that collates as if it were a single character, or a
collating-sequence name for either) enclosed in `[.' and `.]' stands for
the sequence of characters of that collating element. The sequence is a
single element of the bracket expression's list. A bracket expression
containing a multi-character collating element can thus match more than
one character, e.g. if the collating sequence includes a `ch' collating
element, then the RE `[[.ch.]]*c' matches the first five characters of
`chchcc'.
But darned if I can get it to work:
$ echo ZXCV asdf qwer |sed -e s/[^[.ZXCV.][.1234.]]/zxcv/
sed: 1: s/[^[.ZXCV.][.1234.]]/zxcv/
: RE error: invalid collating element
Foolishness, yes, but it illustrates my problem nicely. I've got a program
that uses REs, and it reports this error when I try to use a [[.phrase.]]
bracket syntax. Relevant code example:
#include sys/types.h
#include regex.h
#define REGCOMP_FLAGS(REG_EXTENDED | REG_NOSUB)
regex_t re;
int result;
char *phrase = [^[.ZXCV.][.1234.]];
char buffer[256];
if ((result = regcomp(re, phrase, REGCOMP_FLAGS)) != 0)
{
regerror(result, re, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
regfree(re);
fprintf(stderr, regcomp(\%s\) error: %s\n, phrase, buffer);
}
This works for everything I've thrown at it except for a [[.whatever.]]
bracket expression. regcomp(3) refuses to compile it. The REG_NOSUB is
intentional; I only need to know that a match occurs with regexec(3).
What the devil have I missed? Or, what is an acceptable RE that matches
anything except ZXCV or 1234?
Please CC: me, I'm not subscribed. Thanks,
Dave

ISP DNS blocking?! (was Re: fetchmail protocol error caused by DNS timeout - solution?)
Summary of problem: Some emails that show up in my mailbox at my ISP
come from addresses for which I can't get DNS, and for which trying to
get DNS info causes a long delay and a timeout--but a long enough
delay to cause my fetchmail retrievals to die with a protocol error
and thus leave all later messages at my ISP, uncollected. I've tried
several suggestions from this list but found nothing that works all
the time...
but just now, I figured out that at least some of my DNS timeouts
might be caused by my ISP, which is Verizon (DSL). Example:
nslookup m13.shineandsparkle.com
causes a delay/timeout on my box but returns DNS data when issued from
the two other (non-Verizon-attached) boxes I tried.
So my at least temporary solution was to add the ip of an
apparently-nonblocked DNS server to the Forwarders list in
/etc/namedb/named.conf and restart my local named process.
Question: Why/how would my ISP limit my DNS queries, or does this

CORRECTION: It's not an rDNS lookup that's causing my problem; it's a
straight DNS lookup of the From: address, I think. Example: I just
spotted a message coming in from m7.shineandsparkle.com which plugged
up my ``fetchmail'' download (I have to go to the source mailbox and
hand-delete the thing to get the rest of them to come in by
fetchmail). Pinging m7.shineandsparkle.com causes a long pause
followed by
ping: cannot resolve m7.shineandsparkle.com.: Host name lookup failure
It appears that the same DNS lookup, when initiated by ``fetchmail,''
is taking so long that the remote mail server gives up waiting, so
that when DNS finally quits trying, ``fetchmail'' issues a protocol
error, only to try again later and go through the same sequence.
Also, this problem is not fixed by using my ISP's DNS server instead
of my own.
I assume you're using fetchmail(1) to feed the mail into the
sendmail(8) process on your own machine, which is likely the process
initiating the DNS lookups that are stalling everything.
One thing that may be biting you is IPv6 support in sendmail. As all
good Unix programs should nowadays, it uses getaddrinfo(3) rather than
gethostbyname(3) and it searches first for an record in the DNS.
Usually the DNS server will respond very quickly that such a record
doesn't exist and the next lookup will be for the IPv4 A record, which
should succeed. Certain broken DNS servers however return the wrong
code when queried for a resource record type they don't recognise,
leading to delays similar to what you're seeing.
Check your /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc file --- there's been a workaround
for this problem in there since May this year, namely:
define(`confBIND_OPTS', `WorkAroundBroken')
You can tweak the resolver timeouts used by sendmail(8): grep for
'confTO_RESOLVER' in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README (DANGER Will
Robinson! -- fiddling with resolver timeouts is not for the faint
hearted). Other things that may bite you are ident queries, but those
are set to timeout after 5s by default, so they shouldn't have the
effect you're seeing.

Matthew

Setup: NATD/IPFW Say you have an IPFW rule to allow 10.0.0.2 through NATD - thus into the internet - and everything else to be blocked. Your machine (10.0.0.2) that is being firewalled by NATD/IPFW works fine. Then someone else sets their machine up to 10.0.0.2, and now they can also get out into the network (there will of course be an ip conflict). You can use arp(8) to make a permanent entry in the arp table on your NAT/Firewall box to prevent anyone else to use this IP address: arp -S 10.0.0.2 Your_machines_MAC My question is, for security, is there any way to use this type of block based on MAC ID. Almost to bond the MAC ID to the IP Address so the only computer that can use the IP address 10.0.0.2 is with MAC ID whatever?

Re: mergemaster problem

I did vipw with the restored backed-up files and now I have passwd and will probably be ok. So, as I understand it, I should just run make buildwold from /usr/src, then build the new kernel and then do make installworld, then update the files not updated by make world etc, etc. as in the handbook. That, then, will upgrade my system to 4.7. Right? After you have installed the kernel, installed the world, and run mergemaster, you have the current release. Many people don't reboot into single user mode. I always do that. I want to know the kernel works before I do the installworld. I could probably exit from single user mode after I ran mergemaster but I do a reboot at that point. If I have added some new devices, I want the kernel to see them. As I need no changes to the programs I have installed (they're all up-to-date with portupgrade), I should just verify that the /etc/group, passwd and master.passwd files are conforming to the newer version. And this, as I understand, can be done by the mergemaster. I don't use mergemaster to update master.passwd but I do copy the header info from the location in /usr/tmp and insert it into the files I modify by hand. Once you have rebooted and are running the new version, you can run mergemaster again and it will tell you what files it wants to update. Some of that is results from a comparison of the cvs header information. You can make mergemaster ignore that file by updating the header information. I use information from mergemaster to update them manually. It tells you where all of the files are located and that makes it really easy to upgrade a file manually. If you have port programs that depend on system libraries, you need to rebuild the ports so they link to the new version. This is not always important. The port lsof is an exception that comes to mind. It knows when you have updated the system and not rebuilt lsof. It tells you about this everytime you run it. If they fix a security related buffer overflow problem in one of the system libraries, you need to update all ports that use that library. I haven't seen announcents that cover this kind of problem. I don't know if this is a problem. I know I have gone more than a release on some of my ports. Whether I should have rebuilt some of them was something I do not know. Some people do level upgrades by doing clean installs. They wipe the disks and reinstall everything. I use cvsup to follow RELENG_4 and know I have some old stuff still available. Portupgrade makes some of this really simple. It is sort of the mergemaster of the port world. I do a portsdb -uU after every cvsup of ports-all. There are programs that tell you what is out of date on your system. I just finished checking 4 machines and making sure they were all running the latest versions of the ports. I didn't rebuild everything. Keeping your ports current is important. The question is one of timing and I don't have an answer to that. I have started building packages as part of the make install. Checking the date in /usr/ports/packages/All will tell me which ports I haven't updated for a long time. The ones I use very often are also updated often.

Serial Data Acquisition Problem
I have written a program to receive serial data and store
it in a file. There is nothing particularly esoteric going on
here, but I have done something wrong because my program almost
works, but not quite.
First, I tested the serial port and cable to rule out
hardware issues. The port is /dev/ttyd0 and it works perfectly
as a serial login port when I turn that feature on in /etc/ttys.
When I test the program I wrote, I set that flag back to
off, of course.
The program runs as a daemon and opens the serial port
after it goes daemon, but I think the problem is more likely the
way I open the port. I am calling it as /dev/ttyd0. I have also
tried /dev/cuaa0 and even /dev/ttyp0.
No data are being received in the file and the serial
port strangely begins to echo all input data to the output line
as if it was a loopback connecter.
If I kill the process, the port is properly deaf again
since it isn't doing anything at all.
Here is the code snippet that opens the file handle for
reading. I use an external file containing the name but I know
that works because I have used gdb to check that and also have
seen it in an error message when it couldn't open it once.
FILE *fp_inputstream;
/*lots of other variables and code*/
if ((fp_inputstream = fopen(serialcomm,r)) == NULL) {
perror(serialcomm);
exit(1);
}
while ((c = fgetc(fp_inputstream)) != EOF)
{ /*Read in another character.*/
/*This works with standard input and files.*/
}
When I run the program, the devices attached to the first
serial port show up as busy if you try to access them so that
further proves I am opening the device name I am calling, but am
I calling the right serial device for text data?
In this case, the data are human-readable text with
newlines and all.
I did get this same algorithm to work on a Linux system.
Thanks for any constructive ideas.

installing python2 on linux_base-7.1
--- I am sending this message to questions since I got no --- reply from freebsd-emulation, which I supposed was the --- correct mailing-list for this topic. I am also CCing --- freebsd-ports which is the maintainer of the linux_base --- port. Hi! I am trying to install python2 from rpm over a recently updated linux_base-7.1 (linux_base-6 - lihux_base-7). I am invoking rpm with the following command line options: pi# rpm --allfiles --ignoreos --root /compat/linux --dbpath /var/lib/rpm --replacepkgs -i python2-2.2.1-2.i386.rh7.3.rpm I get several failed dependencies, they are mostly shared libraries. I search rpmfind.net with each one and downloaded the rpm package corresponding to RedHat-7.3 i386, as I guessed that this is the closer I can get. Is my reasoning here correct? Now after installing and cleaning most dependencies I still have these ones to fulfill: error: failed dependencies: libdb-3.2.so is needed by python2-2.2.1-2 libdb.so.3 is needed by python2-2.2.1-2 libreadline.so.4 is needed by python2-2.2.1-2 However, libreadline apparently is installed by linux_base (distinfo lists it as readline-4.1-9.i386.rpm). My rpmfind.net search says that libreadline.so.4 is installed by readline-4.2a-4.i386.rpm. Upon trying to install this one I get the following: file /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 from install of readline-4.2a-4 conflicts with file from package readline-4.1-9 file /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 from install of readline-4.2a-4 conflicts with file from package readline-4.1-9 file /usr/share/info/history.info.gz from install of readline-4.2a-4 conflicts with file from package readline-4.1-9 file /usr/share/info/readline.info.gz from install of readline-4.2a-4 conflicts with file from package readline-4.1-9 file /usr/share/info/rluserman.info.gz from install of readline-4.2a-4 conflicts with file from package readline-4.1-9 file /usr/share/man/man3/readline.3.gz from install of readline-4.2a-4 conflicts with file from package readline-4.1-9 So why does python2 still complains about a failed dependency? Also with libdb, apparently it is already installed by linux_base. However in this case, I get a failed dependency on db3x-3.2.9-4.i386.rpm (from rpmfind.net): error: failed dependencies: libtcl.so.0 is needed by db3x-3.2.9-4 However I cannot seem to find any rpm providing this library on rpmfind.net Can I safely ignore these and force python2 to install?

I don't want to stray too far from the vanilla installation, but I must be missing a step here. You could also unlink data from data-dist and make data its own directory, keeping everything apache installed in data-dist. Thus you do not break any scripts that rely on www/data and you can keep the installation as clear as possible. Or you could change the DocumentRoot variable to something completely different, I think it is just a matter of personal preference (and lazyness :)).

With respect to you suggestion though, presuming that I am supposed to add the external IP address for Demon in the zone file, what then becomes of Demon's *internal* address? That is to say, running nslookup from another lan box I would like Demon's 192.168. address returned, but running nslookup on www.vickiandstacey.com should return the *external address (which is what I saw earlier this morning). From what I gather about the situation, (please correct me if I'm completely off base), you'd like external queries to only be able to lookup *.vickiandstacey.com (and get the public IP), and internal queries to get the internal IP of our server. Correct? I believe you will need to setup two nameservers, one bound to each physical interface on your box (external and internal). From your e-mail advice last evening, I thought that the new set up I would attempting to implement would have then involved enabling my local boxes to use Demon to resolve local machine names, but for external addresses, my nameserver set-up would be such that these queries would then be passed to my ISP's NS's. Ok, now I'm confused. So you mean, you want external requests to go to your ISP's nameserver? and your internal requests to go to your local LAN nameserver? Set your workstations to use your internal nameserver as primary DNS. Maybe one of these two scenarios is what you want to be doing? - Nick Jennings - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Problem with rxvt and termName
I'm not sure how much information to give here. Two machines, one
installed from a 4.6-rc2 CD the other from a 4.7 release CD. Both
updated in the last day, so uname -a gives the same output. Different
hardware. The problem one is a Dell Dimension.
I use Japanese and have always been able to make it work by simply
calling a script that I call langx--so if I go langx rxvt an rxvt
terminal opens and I can input Japanese. The script goes simply
XMODIFIERS='im=kinput2 LANG=ja_JP.EUC ${1+$}
This enables me to, for example, open an rxvt terminal and then input
Japanese.
On the problem machine, it doesn't work. On that one, I have to specify
XMODIFIERS in my .Xdefaults. I mention that in case it's a symptom.
The bigger problem is that if I have an entry in .Xdefaults
Xterm*termName: rxvt
then if I call mutt from a terminal it doesn't work--it opens mutt but
keystrokes don't do anything--that is, I can't switch mailboxes, I can't
even do m for mail.
The Japanese mentioned above doesn't seem to be a factor, since, when I
removed all mention of it, I had the same problem. I've tried in both my
usual Window Manager, Fluxbox and a vanilla twm. I've done various other
tests, commenting out each line in .Xdefaults. If I try
XTerm*termName: xterm
then mutt works without problem, but no colors. If I try :
XTerm*termName: xterm-color
Again, I have the same problem. I've tried comparing the /etc/termcap
entries for the two boxes but don't see anything different, though I did
it by eye, just looking at rxvt entries, so I may have missed something.
If I don't specify a termName then echo $TERM gives me kterm another
terminal that can input Japanese, (but isn't on either box).
I've been googling and reading various man pages (term, rxvt, etc) and I
can't figure out what I'm missing here. Sorry for the length of this,
but trying to indicate what I've tested.
The problem is only on the Dell Machine. I've used this setup on a
variety of machines in the last year or so and never had this problem.
It's a nuisance rather than a major thing--it just means that I can't
have colors in mutt while running X (I get my colors in console)
TIA

ipsec, ESP IKE, freebsd as vpn `client' - openbsd, how?
Hi! We just moved our company to a new `office hotel', and they have an openbsd firewall with an VPN setup that I should be able to use from home. A consultant set the openbsd machine up, and the guys in the new office knows absolutely nothing about unix whatsoever. When asking how to use the VPN, I got instructions for setting up the windows utility `PGP Desktop Security'. Fine, I thought, I have the info I need: - a shared secret - IKE is used - ESP is used - no AH - the preferred order for ciphers and hashes Here's what I want to do: Home, 1.2.3.4 (dhcp address) | | ipsec tunnel | OpenBSD, 5.6.7.8 w/ NAT 192.168.1.1 | - ... | | | | 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4192.168.1.5 I want to access the machines behind the FW. Pretty straight forward, huh? ;-) Anyway, I know the OpenBSD machine uses isakmpd, so I started looking at that port, but the docs are very confusing. Also checked racoon, and I guess both should work, but all examples are for setting up both ends at once - in this case the `server' peer is already setup, and I don't exactly how, just roughly. Problem is, I just don't have time to learn everything about ipsec at this time, I need the connection working yesterday... :-( Is there a crash course / FAQ that will actually help me? Or can someone just give some hints on how to set things up on the FreeBSD end, from scratch?

The latest x86 CPUs (from the Pentium-II onwards) has the capability to physically address a 36-bit address space. This is done by using some extensions to the MMU to map virtual memory to physical in a special way and requires OS support to work. A single process still cannot address more than 4GB at once, but you could have one process using 3GB and another process the other 3GB. Now, the natural question is of course: Does FreeBSD support more than 4GB RAM? The answer is no, it does not and there are currently no plans that I know of to add such support in the near future either. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Or you dont care for the degration in speed? Nope. You're thinking of Windows filesystems. So long as you don't fill a filesystem to 100% or more, it will have sufficient space reserved to be able to automatically defragment itself. No user intervention required.

SCB timeout on SCSI DDS tape drive
Good morning, I am having a problem with a DDS tape drive in a 4.4 RELEASE machine. It has been operating without a problem for 12 months but suddenly last week the following error started to appear (see below). Is it a media error? Or do I suspect hardware failure? I have tried two new media cartridges and various reboots. Perhaps the machine needs to be physically powered off to reset the bus?

Is this because samba needs 30 seconds or so to settle maybe?
I can't access my smb shares from w32 for a few seconds after login

Re: Mac can't connect to Internet

But it seems now that I failed to recompile the kernel with IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT, so I'll check back once that's done and tested. (Fwiw, the configuration I'm trying to implement is: Cable-Modem = FBSD = hub = Mac, PC, etc.) Is probably best to compile those into the kernel but IPFW will be kldload(1)'ed by the /etc/rc.* scripts if enabled. As for divert, I don't remember. Custom kernel is a sure thing. On reboot, start by proving the connection between Mac and FreeBSD works. Then FreeBSD to ISP.

Re: Shlight help plz

Subject: Shlight help plz
Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble here. I'm sorda a noob to unix, so plz
bare
with me J
I've searched all the shlight list archives
I found the startup shel script
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
'start')
/usr/local/sbin/shlight //papabear/myftp /usr/FTP -w -P
ou812ou812
;;
'stop')
# Trivial (you may be able to produce something less
# hamfisted than this) stop script:
/usr/bin/killall shlight
;;
*)
echo Usage: $0 { start | stop }
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Which I assume is located as follows: /usr/local/sbin/slight??
I'm getting an error ( local package initialization : Samba/etc/rc:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/shlight.sh: not found ?
So, the Samba startup script can't find the shlight startup
script because it's looking for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/shlight.sh
Is this because samba needs 30 seconds or so to settle maybe?
I can't access my smb shares from w32 for a few seconds after login
prompt.
I can login and run the shlight command and it mounts ok without
error,
so I'm wondering if
I need to make the shlight startup sleep or something for a certain
amount of time maybe ?
Methinks in light of the notes above, you have 3-4 options:
1. Reinstall shlight with a different installdir. (Ouch!)
2. cp /usr/local/bin/shlight to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
(or whatever that said up there...)
3. #cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
# ln -s /usr/bin/slight ./slight
4. Change the Samba rc script to use the
correct path.
Your guess is good as mine as to which is better.
What you've found, I guess, is that some folks
run more like to Linux/GNU than BSD/tradish
when writing makefiles. It's something that keeps
life interesting :-)
Tx in advance

du, find/xargs/sort, and MP3.tar
Here's a doozy for you. I'm trying to compare a directory called MP3/ with
a huge file called MP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar -- the idea being to make sure
the contents are similar (I've touched new files in the MP3/ directory
since untarring, so they won't be exactly the same...)
I tried some commands along the lines of these:
# du -hs MP3/
1.6GMP3/
# du -hs MP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar
1.2GMP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar
Erg, wait this proves nothing; I'd have to untar and THEN du -hs :(
Then I thought I'd get crafty and `tar tvf MP3.DONE0415021909MPT.tar
the-tarfile.out` thinking I could later run things through `sort` but I am
hung up on how to get similar output that shows the contents of MP3/.
# find MP3/ -type f | wc -l
OR?
# find MP3/ -type f -exec ls -al {}\; | more
OR?
# find MP3/ -type f -print | xargs or something like that | sort...
Could one of you /\/\aster$ work some unixiacal magic on my task? =^)
It soothes my soul to know you care.

Re: perl crashing - how to debug??

On Mon, 21 Oct 2002, parv wrote: in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], mind you that perl5.6 port w/ -DDEBUGGING option alone didn't build w/ the debugging support the last time i tried. -g option was necessary in addition. That's because -DDEBUGGING is for enabling the -D command line switch (see perlrun(1) for details). If you want to attach a debugger to perl(1), you need -g. i take it you mean that perl -Dr (regex debugging) would/should work w/ -DDEBUGGING option alone, w/o the need of -g to the compiler. if that's the case, i did not find it to be. first i did try (perl 5.6 port) w/ -DDEBUGGING option alone; tried perl -Dr -e 'm/moo/' which produced an error message on the lines that -D is not supported/complied. after compiling w/ -g option, things worked as expected. from what you say from perlrun(1), it does seem that if perl is configured w/ -DDEBUGGING alone, it should Just Work, but doesn't... possibly a bug(?). - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Bypassing umass1
I have the devices on umass Umass0: a floppy drive Umass1: Sony Memory Stick Umass2: USB keychain storage On boot everything works fine but umass1, the memory stick generates CBI errors. Is there any way I can get the kernel to forget about umass 1 and just do umass[0,2] I tried the BIOS to disable the memory stick but no luck..
