Re: Window/File Manager
Hi, pwm runs like a charm on my toshiba tecra 750CDT and is the original tabbed windowmanager (propaganda) ;-) qoute from http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/pwm/: PWM is a rather lightweight window manager for X11. It has the unique feature that multiple client windows can be attached to the same frame. This feature helps keeping windows, especially the numerous xterms, organized. A look at the screenshots below might clarify the idea. Being a lightweight window manager with emphasis on usability, PWM does not have all the features that one might expect from a window manager. Those features are simply unnecessary. PWM does not provide pixmapped themes or other bloated eye candies but has a clean and simple look inspired by BeOS and Motif. There are no icons and frames cannot be iconified, only shaded. Only One True (pointer) focus mode is supported: sloppy. PWM does not even have titlebar buttons and may not be the easiest window manager to get into, most Good Things are not. PWM does have workspaces, menus and Window Maker dockapp support. It has pretty good keyboard support and almost all the functionality is configurable. my own screenshots of pwm can be found at www.vacfu.org/?view=pwm as previously stated, the shell is the most powerful FM. if you still insist on running a FM on low resources it might be worth to giv XFCE a shot (www.xfce.org), it is a very slim desktop environment. good luck, Gustaf Sjoberg On Mon, 11 Nov 2002 20:53:32 -0600 (CST) Doug Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David S.

Unfortunately it's only a 200mhz/64mb RAM system with a 2.1gb harddrive. I would like to use X if possible but given the hardware limitations I really can't have a bloated featureful WM or FM and still have a usable laptop (after all if the GUI is slow I might as well install 98SE). What are your favorite ultra-light WM's and/or FMs? I'm just looking for something that does the job, looking nice would be an added benefit but I doubt I'll have a high color depth to play with anyway. I use windowmaker. Quite light and fast. A linux aquaintence of mine recently suggested waimea. It's even lighter and faster than windowmaker and shares a heritage from NextSTEP.

So why allow putting them at the beginning, where mistakes like this can happen? Is that ever useful? Would it be wrong to 'assume' all libraries be linked after all object files? It is conceivable that a high-level application framework would define main and require the developer to define some other entry point which main would then call. In that case you'd have to put the library that contains main first. The point is that there is no real difference between foo.c, foo.s, foo.o, foo.a, -lfoo etc., they're just different ways of telling the compiler where to find the objects your program consists of (in the first two cases it has to create the object itself from source code). The only thing special about -lfoo is that it tells the compiler to look for libfoo.a or libfoo.so in the linker path and use the first one it finds. You could use /usr/local/lib/libfoo.so instead of -lfoo and it would work just as well. Also, if some symbols your program needs are defined in more than one of the objects listed on the linker command line, the ordering becomes very important because it determines which version of the symbol is used (unless one is strong and all the others are weak, in which case the strong version is used) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

ipfw matching
I have a quick question on the way ipfw matches IP masks. If I give this IP address: 12.144.51.128/17 Am I then correct in thinking it will match all IP addresses from 12.144.51.128 to 12.144.51.255? Or will it start matching from 12.144.51.0? (not what I want). Now for the harder question (I guess there is a second question, after all). If I want to match from 12.51.0 to 12.51.15 (and all their hosts underneath), would I write this: 12.51.0.0:255.255.240.255 ?

I've created the file fd_setsize.h in the ports/freebsd/include directory as specified by BIND's INSTALL file. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Lexmark Z23 USB Printer
Hello, I am trying to get my FreeBSD 4.7 Stable system working with my Z23 Lexmark printer. I enabled support for USB printers in the kernel and was able to rebuild and install with no problem. dmesg correctly reports the existence of the device. However, I am sort of stuck at this point. I am not really sure what I should do next, the handbook does not explicitly reference USB printers. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. It would be nice to get this working since it is such a cheap printer. The alternative would be for me to install the printer on my WindowsXP box (really my girlfriends machine) and print across the network.

Old versions of FreeBSD
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to get a copy of FreeBSD 2.2.8? I'm in a group working on a file systems project for my CSC Operating Systems class, we were interested in a variety of file systems, one of which is the Elephant file system, which was implemented as a VFS in FreeBSD 2.2.8. We're having some trouble getting the source code from the author, and we're pretty sure it's not in FreeBSD 4.7, so I thought I'd check the 2.2.8 packages, to see if it was included there, since that's what it was written for. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

Hi! I would like to ask you if is possible, and after which version, install FreeBSD using virtual disks (like Veritas Volume Manager or VINUM). Is this possible? It seems that Greg Lehey hasn't got the time to read lists right now, so I'll just chime in and say that TTBOMK it is not possible to have root partition on vinum volume, at least in FreeBSD 4.x. It seems to me that this is kind of chicken-and-egg problem - if the support for vinum volumes is implemented as a module (vinum.ko), then you need to load this module before you can access the logical volume.

HPFS filesystem
Having tens of thousands of files collected over about seven years on
numerous HPFS volumes on a couple of OS/2 machines, and being tired of
shuffling between in .zip files, I'd love access to HPFS volumes (all
within extended DOS partitions) from the FreeBSD installs on those
boxes. I'm well tuned to the WARNING, but readonly access will do ..
I'd looked over Semen Ustimenko [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s HPFS code, and
was about to ask here if it still worked on 4.5-RELEASE and since, when
a colleague noticed this code in the 4.5 source tree, but that it's not
installed by default, nor mentioned in LINT (/sys/{modules,fs}/hpfs)
What do I have to do to add the filesystem? I gather from skimming the
code that it is (or was?) hooked into mountd. Is this a buildworld job
(after how enabling its inclusion?) or can I just make it (from where?)
Thanks in advance,
Ian

problems installing XFree86-4
I am trying to get X up and running on a Dell Latitude C600 running FreeBSD 4.7 as part of a school project. I can't seem to get X 3.X to recognize my video card (an ATI Mobility 3), and the best I can seem to get is a 300x200 window in the middle of my screen, so I thought I would install X-4 and hope for the best. Unfortunately, the install for X-4 keeps failing, saying that things are already defined, etc (I have included a copy of the make install output for your perusal and edification). I thought that the problem might just be a previously installed X 3, and so tried to deinstall it first, but it failed as well. Any advice on how to either get the server up and running with 3.x OR on how to get X-4 properly installed (I suspect it would help) would be greatly appreciated. I have been banging my head against this for over a week, and have had no luck with the newbie list over at XFree86.org. I will be more than happy to send any additional information on request.

Re: Evolution-1.2 vs pgp encryption
Hello Marcus, For reference, I've included FreeBSD-Questions for this reply, if only to alert others to the status of this issue. On Tue, 2002-11-12 at 19:49, Joe Marcus Clarke wrote: snipped I followed the instruction included in the link sent by Joe Marcus Clarke: http://developer.ximian.com/projects/evolution/release_notes/1.2.html Then restarted Evolution, which appeared to load okay. However I attempted to test sending mail, and found that I am no longer able to send email with PGP Sign enabled. I get the error: Failed to execute gpg. I have always had pgp-6.5.8 insatalled *and* working with Evolution-1.0.8, is pgp-6.5.8 support now broken for the new version? I looked everywhere for what used to be the field to include the pgp binary (as it was in Evolution-1.08, which I had until earlier today), but can't locate it. Evolution help only points me to where I include my key under the security tab, but nothing else. I tried searching through all available fields under Mail Settings, but could not find a setting switch with which I could configure pgp for Evolution. Is there a new how-to for this in the new version somewhere that I missed? That's a good question. I use gnupg, so I didn't notice a problem. This looks like a bug in Evo to me. As a workaround, you might try digging through the code to see if it's a hardcoded value. I would also ask this question on one of the Evo support lists. Joe I've mailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] concerning this issue, as well as submitted a Bug Report to Ximian using their bugzilla engine. The Bug Report ID: 33789 Cheers Joe. Stacey Thanks.

Make sure you deinstall all of XFree86-3.3.x, particularly including the imake-3.3.x port before you attempt to install XFree86-4.2.1. The 3.3.x imake is not suitable for compiling X 4.2.1, but it's sufficient to fool the port Makefile into trying...

No, it isn't, the problem is that you're running at 8bit colour depth, hence, the problems with colour allocation. Change the default colour depth to 16 or 24, that should fix it.

Routing trouble... slow FTP
Hi, I have a dial on demand server running FreeBSD 4.7. This also has wu-ftpd running as well. I have noticed that whe trying to FTP to the box, it takes a long time to connect (I usually have the modem switched off, but will dial if I have left it on while trying to FTP into the box). I have noticed also that Sendmail has trouble sending local mail (daily reports etc). These problems dissappear when a the ppp link is up, or I have killed the ppp process. I suspect these problems might be due to the routing table entries made by ppp (add default HISADDR). netstat -r takes forever, unless the link is up. When I do a tcpdump -i tun0 I get 192.168.x.x traffic going to my ISP's DNS servers. What would be the best way to fix this? use PPP's firewalling, or IPFW? or is there a better way?

OpenSSH and password expiry
[Please CC me on replies, as I am not subscribed to this list.] I want to force new users to change their passwords immediately upon first login. I set the change field in master.passwd to 1 (via pw useradd ... -p 1). Logging in via login(1) works as expected---the user is prompted to change the password and then logs in as usual. However, my users only connect via ssh, which instead yields the following logs: PAM rejected by account configuration[12]: Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required. Failed password for testuser from 127.0.0.1 port 3367 ssh2 The user sees: $ ssh testuser@localhost testuser@localhost's password: Connection to localhost closed by remote host.

fcntl(xx, F_SETLK64, zz) ??
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong group to ask...
Background: I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 on a file server we set up earlier
this year in the hopes of relieving some of the load from our Solaris
server. Currently we have mostly Sun clients, and a few Redhat clients.
Problem: one of the big CAD applications we run hangs if a) it is in-
stalled on the FreeBSD server, or b) if any of the user accounts that
call it is located on the FreeBSD machine.
After banging our heads into various different walls over a couple of
months, we narrowed it down to the fact that this application makes
a lot of (unnecessary?) NFS file locking calls.
From Sun clients, it hangs on the call:
fcntl(6, F_SETLK64, 0xFFBEA3A8) (sleeping...)
From Redhat clients, it hangs on the call:
fcntl64(5, F_SETLK, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
We did talk to the CAD vendor about this, and they swear they've removed
all NFS file locking. However, there seem to be a few that they've missed.
Is this/are these options/commands supported anywhere under FreeBSD, and if
not, could it?

advice on fine tuning diskless boot
Hello all! Two small issues... 1) After sucessfully configuring a set of systems which come up diskless (thank you for the fine documentation), these still try to mount root from /dev/ad0s1a: . . Adjusted interface xl0 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a no such device 'ad' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from nfs: NFS ROOT: 192.168.200.3:/diskless_root NFS SWAP: 192.168.200.3:/diskless_swap . . After this the system comes up fine. The kernel is compiled without ata and friends. Should a kernel option like ROOTDEVNAME be used ? I checked the 'loader' and 'pxeboot' documentation, the mailing lists and it is not obvious how to fix this. 2. do you see any inconvenient in totally removing all UFS options from the kernel ?

Problems with GNUstep apps on FreeBSD?
Hi all, I am really stumped by this problem. I'm trying out GNUstep apps under FreeBSD 4.7 with XFree86 3.x and the XFree86 4.2 libraries. I've tried Fluxbox and Windowmaker (latest ports). Most, if not all of the GNUstep app windows and menus are unruly. In GNUmail, the app menu won't go away. It stays on top of everything, and will not close, shade, or go below another window. This is the case with every app menu of GNUstep applications. The other apps are even worse. Gomoku only shows a tiny, distorted window in the middle of my screen, which looks like a window and titlebar shrunk down to about one character wide. It will not resize. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't have the first clue what could be wrong, since I've seen the same problem under 2 windowmanagers that are so different, and WindowMaker is supposed to be GNUstep compliant. NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed. Thanks. jm -- My other computer is your windows box.

RE: sysutils/cpuburn lives up to its name
[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions;FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Ray Kohler The subject explains it pretty well -- last night I ran burnK7 from the cpuburn port and my system is toast. Now I'm trying to figure out just what it was I killed so I can replace it. About 40 seconds into the run, the system switched the power off. Now it won't switch back on again. ACPI was disabled (relevant, since this was -current) but APM was on. I know the power supply is good since the on-board NIC shows a link on the Linksys it's attached to, and that only happens when it has power. The system just does nothing when I push the power switch. So what needs replaced? The Motherboard? The CPU? Something else? Generally, when this happens it's best to remove everything from the box except for things necessary. Remove it all except the video card, then try to boot and see if you can get the video's BIOS to pop up. Then put the memory back and try booting again. Then put the hard drive back in and try booting again.

Try enabling the locking daemons on the server by adding these lines to
rc.conf and rebooting. Note that on FreeBSD 4.* this only provides
server-side locking (if the machine tries to lock a remote NFS file it
will always succeed immediately), but that seems to be all you need
anyway.
rpc_lockd_enable=YES
rpc_statd_enable=YES
You can test to see if this will fix your proglem without rebooting by
running rpc.statd and rpc.lockd, then running your CAD program again.
