Sendmail not relaying to localhost (4.6 and 4.7 RELEASE)
Hi all, I had a weird problem a while ago that after installing FreeBSD 4.6 RELEASE sendmail was not accepting local mail for delivery. After looking at mail -v user I saw that sendmail was not accepting relaying for the localhost. Now I could telnet to localhost on port 25 and that worked so SMTP itself was running. The problem turned out to be that in /etc/hosts the following was missing: ::1 localhost Now I thought that maybe that was an isolated problem with FBSD4.6 but I install 4.7 last night (Mini ISO) and had the exact same problem. The /etc/hosts file did not have ::1 I have been told that the ::1 is a IPV6 loopback? Is that correct? Why would it seem to be missing from the install?

Performance degration of moving FFS hdd from a slow to a fast pc.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have a question about FFS filesystem. According to a paper about the design of UFS filesystem[1], if you create the FFS filesystem on a slow cpu and then move it to a fast cpu with a fast controller, theh the FFS wont perform efficient. This is justified because when the UFS is created having in mind the speed of the system, in order to create the cyllinder group summary information with optimal rotationally blocks [see page 7 of the paper]. If somebody takes the hdd of the slow pc and put it on a much faster pc, then it is reported that the throughput will drop significantly because of lost disk revolutions. I would like to know if this is true. Can I move my hdd of my old slow pc [intel 486] to a pentium III 600Mhz machine without performance penatly, or its better to re-create the filesystem?

to find by looking at the following:

Re: FreeBSD gateway
I am having almost the same exact problem. I've followed the guides on freebsddiary, in the handbook, and instructions here in the list, but I still can't ping out to the internet from my xp box.

It is only uncommon to do. Normally you would give the defaultgateway for a network x.y.z.1 or x.y.z.254 . But it is not forbidden to set it to any IP in that subnet. Are you using the default kernel? If so, you will need to add a couple lines are recompile. options IPFIREWALL #firewall options IPDIVERT#divert sockets as for the difference between a router and a gateway, a gateway is a machine to deal with going from one network (lan) to another network (wan), I think. From your point of view (as needed for this problem) routers and gateways are the same. In this case the FreeBSD box is acting as a router for your internal net to the Internet. A simple router would do the same. But for more complex routing you have to either setup gated (or similar software) or add all rules (if they are static) by hand. A gateway is the simplest form of a router. The last two lines from dmesg: IP packet filtering initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to deny, logging disabled ip_fw_ctl: invalid command That hints to a problem with the /etc/rc.firewall script (which is called when you add to /etc/rc.conf firewall_enable=YES).

Re: Dual-Boot Windows 2000 and FreeBSD 4.6
Hi, I have only one hard disk and I want to make a dual-boot Windows 2K and FreeBSD. How can I do it? My first attempt had erased W2K. Is there a fix for this? Thanks for your help Well, if you installed the FreeBSD over the top of the W2K slice, then it is gone. You will have to reinstall it. To do a dual boot, you need at least two primary slices - one for the W2k and one for FreeBSD. Then, you want to have the Microsloth stuff installed first - if you try to install it second, it will almost certainly ignore what you have already installed and clobber it. So, reinstall W2K if it has been wiped. Now, you take the system with W2k installed and use a utility to shrink the W2k slice (MS stuff calls them partitions) and make room for a FreeBSD slice. Then use the utility or the FreeBSD install utility (/stand/sysinstall which is what is running when you install from FreeBSD CD or install floppies) or use fdisk(8) to turn that freed up space in to a slice and install FreeBSD on it. The utility for shrinking W2K and other slice/partition management that I am familier with is Partition Magic. It works and isn't too expensive. There are others, some even cheaper. There are also freeware utilities but the free ones I have seen can't handle NTFS type files systems and that is probably what your W2k is using. Partition Magic has pretty good instructions with it, but it uses all MS terminology, so slices become partitions and it doesn't know about UNIX partitions. Now, if you did properly create a slice for FreeBSD and installed FreeBSD in it and didn't wipe out the W2K, then maybe you only messed up the slice table. You might be able to use either Partition Magic or one of the other utilities that manage disk slices/partitions to remake the slice table without reinstalling anything.

IME, it's entirely possible for FreeBSD to have a bogus idea of the geometry which prevents booting from the drive (the last 5-6 large drives I've set up on machines with old BIOS'es have done this if I don't create an M$DOS partition from M$ FDISK first - you can even delete it in 'sysinstall', it just forces the correct geometry when the disk is read in 'sysinstall', IIUC), but you can load the boot stuff just fine from (e.g.) CD-ROM and then boot the kernel off the drive... I presume that this is because the BIOS can boot the CD, and the CD-loaded boot stuff has the same bogus idea of the geometry, and can then load the kernel That makes sense. However, if you have /ever/ booted FreeBSD directly from this HDD, then this probably isn't what happened (the geometry shouldn't change, and it was valid once). and Yes, before I swapped drives, I was able to boot FreeBSD without any problems. For some reason, some part of the boot stuff got lunched, and you probably just need to re-write it. My firewall box did this once after a power-cycle, I have no idea why.

How to Start the Random Number Generator
I need to run the application dnssec-keygen which uses /dev/random to generate keys for signing domain name server transactions. If I run it on any of the FreeBSD systems I have set up which are all running Version 4.5 or 4.7, this application hangs due to lack of entropy, or at least that is one reason. I was directed to use rndcontrol to turn on various interrupts in the random number generator such as the keyboard and IDE controller interrupts and the system would start to build an entropy pool. Rndcontrol showed me that there were no interrupts being sampled right now so I told it to look at IRQS 3, 14 and 15. the man page in section 4 for random mentions a seed to get everything started, but I can't seem to find any other information to cause /dev/random to spit out data yet. The dnssec-keygen application still hangs so I am obviously missing some step. /dev/random does exist on the systems in question and seems to return a null which is not what it is supposed to be doing.

Re: Adding new disk as the primary.
On Thu, Nov 21, 2002 at 11:59:27PM +0800, Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim typed: Hello all, My disk is getting full and I'm thinking of getting bigger and faster disk to accomodate my installation. I do not want to do reinstallation and prefer to export previous settings in the present disk. There's too many of them that I have to customize and I hate to redo it all. The present disk will serve as /usr/ports partition and the rest will be placed on the upcoming disk. Is there a way to do this or do I have to do a reinstallation? You don't have to reinstall. 1) Boot the system with the new disk as a secundary disk, eg. ad2 2) use /stand/sysinstall to partition the new disk and put a bootmanager on it 3) newfs the partitions (this can also be done from sysinstall) 4) Use dump/restore to copy the content of your old disk to the newer; eg: # mount /dev/ad2s1a /mnt # cd /mnt # /sbin/dump -0af - / | /sbin/restore -rf - (repeat for other partitions) 5) remove old disk, replacing with new disk.

Re: Boot stuck at F1 after swapping drives
I'm wondering if I can just get rid of the booter, I only have one OS on my FreeBSD drive, so it doesn't really make sense to have a booter with only one option, I don't know, but when I had NetBSD I didn't even have a booter. How do I get right of boot0? Well, you could overwrite boot0 with the plain MBR that just boots the first partition on the machine. That's what this laptop does... I know which option that is in 'sysinstall' :) Looks to me like you'd use boot0cfg or diskinstall with /boot/mbr as the boot0 file instead of boot0. However, if you're seeing the 'F1' message, that /is/ boot0. I'd guess that it's boot1 or something later in the sequence that isn't working for you. HTH.

I thought that I have a clean environment. There are no

About the only time I don't see them, is right before a release and

messages like
p5-Net-SSH-Perl-1.23: non-existent -- dependency list incomplete
p5-Net-SSH-Perl-1.23: non-existent -- dependency list incomplete
and the INDEX that is built has no r-deps. The Makefile sets r-deps to
RUN_DEPENDS=${BUILD_DEPENDS}
but I have a b-deps with entries and a R-deps: with no entry.
One thing I have noticed is that most of them have a PKGNAMEPREFIX=

I have thought about hiding them but considered that similar to

I put the FreeBSD harddrive back and it wouldn't boot, it got stuck at the F1 boot0 prompt. Like it couldn't find the MBR or something. How do I get it to boot again? This is weird. Maybe I didn't shut it down correctly this morning. I encountered the same kind of weirdness when I was trying to build a FreeBSD-based firewall for somebody and un-plugged my normal drive(s) which have Windows XP and FreeBSD installed on them and then proceeded to do a fresh FreeBSD 4.7 installation on a new lone disk. Once finished, it wouldn't boot. I would get Operating system missing with the standard boot sector installed, and with the boot manager installed, it would hang after F1. Using the install CD boot-loader, I could unload the CD kernel and load /kernel off of the newly installed drive and start to boot it, but it would hang immediately after issuing 'boot'. So, I try a completely different hard drive (a little bigger and newer, but only a 10GB drive), do a 4.7 installation on it, and it worked. Then I re-installed on the same drive, and it DIDN'T work. Nothing changed in the BIOS or hardware, just a re-install. I tried re-installing over and over again with different boot options and different ways of partitioning it. I tried with both 4.6 and 4.7 releases, thinking maybe there was some kind of bootloader breakage in 4.7. No go. What type of IDE controller are you using? I was using a Promise 133 TX2 add-on card. I tried the on-board ATA33 (PIIX4) controller on my system, and encountered the same problem, though I never actually completely removed the add-on card. It is possible the Promise BIOS was causing problems even though it claimed it didn't load since I didn't have any devices attached to the card. I racked my brain with that problem for hours and finally gave up. Luckily when I plugged my regular drives back in XP and FreeBSD booted up just fine on those. One thing I probably should have tried was to dd a bunch of zeroes over the first few MB of the drive so that I'd be starting with a fresh drive before installation. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, ARM, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org No trees were harmed in the composition of this message, although some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

Re: Performance degration of moving FFS hdd from a slow to a fast pc.
In the last episode (Nov 21), BigBrother (BigB3) said: I have a question about FFS filesystem. According to a paper about the design of UFS filesystem[1], if you create the FFS filesystem on a slow cpu and then move it to a fast cpu with a fast controller, theh the FFS wont perform efficient. This is justified because when the UFS is created having in mind the speed of the system, in order to create the cyllinder group summary information with optimal rotationally blocks [see page 7 of the paper]. If somebody takes the hdd of the slow pc and put it on a much faster pc, then it is reported that the throughput will drop significantly because of lost disk revolutions. I would like to know if this is true. Can I move my hdd of my old slow pc [intel 486] to a pentium III 600Mhz machine without performance penatly, or its better to re-create the filesystem? Those optimizations were long since removed from the FFS code. The old C/H/S style of disk layout hasn't been used in 10 years (which means that FFS's logical cylinder groups do not correspond with the physical sylinders on the hard drive anymore), and CPUs are so fast that there is no need to compensate for a slow CPU anymore. You can put the disk in a faster PC and it will work optimally. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Confirmation: ext2fs requires kernel rebuild?
Thus spake Chris Pepper [EMAIL PROTECTED]: even into GENERIC. To do the latter, the module must exist; it will be created if you make the kernel with -DWANT_EXT2FS_MODULE. It is also installed by sysinstall, IIRC. [...] Hmm...I think you're right. I don't see any documentation for the option. I would just as soon hook the module up to the default build like all the other modules, but maybe the license is an issue. I think it's off by default for stability, but would like to submit a patch to the LABI Handbook chapter linking to a discussion of the FS module. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a URL that describes it. Thus spake Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The license *is* an issue. Distributing kernels that by default include GPL'ed code can have many complications for people who make commercial applications based on FreeBSD source. I'm not talking about linking ext2fs support into the kernel by default, I'm talking about just *creating* the module by default. See previous discussion. Stability isn't an issue, except for people who explicitly load the module. I'm aware of the problems with linking GPL'd code into the kernel, but that's not what is being discussed here. The license would only be a problem if there are legal or religious reasons against people building binaries that *could* be linked into the kernel.

I thought that I have a clean environment. There are no WITH_*/WITHOU_*
variables in my /etc/make.conf. I just finished doing a portupgrade
-aufp and still get them.
About the only time I don't see them, is right before a release and you
are building iso's. The messages are real. For example, I see messages like
p5-Net-SSH-Perl-1.23: non-existent -- dependency list incomplete
p5-Net-SSH-Perl-1.23: non-existent -- dependency list incomplete
and the INDEX that is built has no r-deps. The Makefile sets r-deps to
RUN_DEPENDS=${BUILD_DEPENDS}
but I have a b-deps with entries and a R-deps: with no entry.
One thing I have noticed is that most of them have a PKGNAMEPREFIX=
p5- syntax.
I have thought about hiding them but considered that similar to
redirecting my buildworld to /dev/null and then doing an installworld.
I have done some experimenting and what I see using net-ssh-perl for
the test is the following:

The only thing make index complained about was
Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: freeciv-imlib-1.13.0
This one is because you have imlib installed, and freeciv auto-detects
this (unless you set WITHOUT_IMLIB or change PREFIX/X11BASE/LOCALBASE
to something bogus) and changes its package name (and configure
behaviour). The duplicate comes because the freeciv-gtk port does the
same thing.
I use the /usr/ports/Tools/portbuild/scripts/makeindex script on bento
that takes care of everything to generate a clean INDEX..I probably
should fold this back into 'make index' itself.
Something is seriously wrong with the INDEX that portsdb -U generates.
Yes, it appears so. I've CC'ed knu@

Possibly a trivial question. I want to run a cron job as a user on my system. Once the job has completed I need root privileges to power the system down.

The smc2632w card in adhoc mode with the smc2602w card configured with ifconfig ... mediaopt adhoc What is not working: 1.

disk-to-disk backup of root/bootable filesystem (?)
I have an x86 system here that contains an 18GB SCSI drive and also a 20GB IDE drive. The 18GB SCSI drive contains a complete FreeBSD system that has been installed and then tailored to my personal preferences. It also contains a lot of my personal working files. The SCSI drive contains only a single defined BIOS partition. That BISO partition, in turn, has been sub-partitioned into one (1) FreeBSD root partition and also a smallish FreeBSD swap partition. I want to make a full, complete, and _bootable_ backup of everything that is on the SCSI drive onto the IDE drive. Ideally, I want to end up in a situation where I can remove the SCSI drive, and then boot from the IDE drive and then just carry on working as if nothing had happened. I prefer not to waste time copying empty disk space (e.g. using dd). Assuming that I am am able to make the necessary receiving partitions on the IDE drive, and assuming that I make suitable ufs file system on the IDE drive, and assuming that I then use `cpio -p' to copy all of the files from the one ufs filesystem on the SCSI drive to the (new) corresponding ufs partition on the IDE drive, what else will I need to do in order to make sure that I can then boot from the new (copy) partition on the IDE drive? I assume that I'll have to set up some sort of a MBR on the IDE drive. I would appreciate exact instructions for doing that. I also assume that I'll have to diddle the /etc/fstab file on the IDE drive, after copying files, so as to have it make reference to the IDE drive partitions, rather than to the original SCSI drive partitions. (I think that I can handle this part.) So anyway, what else might I need to do in order to make this work? P.S. The system in question has a reasonably modern Aware BIOS that allows me to specify whether the system should try to boot from SCSI or from IDE first. Of course, once I get all of the files over onto the IDE drive, I will toggle that from its current setting (SCSI) to its new setting (IDE).

Multiple questions...
Hello all, I have a couple of simple questions, and 1 tough one.. First the easy ones.. Whats an easy way to check if people are using my machine in the backround.. IE doing an ftp? Is there something other then checking processes? like maybe a netstat command or something? I'm asking this mostly because of problem #2 which I'll get to in a sec.. But I need to fully shot off my machine sometimes, and a wall command wont do it for some people using my machine, meaning they wont see it. So I like to just do a quick check to see if someone is doing stuff.. people using my web, well too bad, apache will be back soon enough, ssh users, I can talk request them.. FTP is a bit harder though.. OK, and the next question.. My setup is like this.. wireless in (an0) NAT/DHCP (false addresses) out on sis0 to the house network. Once in a while sis0 seems to die.. I think maybe the network card is flaky or something. Basically all the house machines loose connectivity to the FreeBSD box. Cant ping it, nothing. From the FreeBSD box a netstat -rn shows nothing.. all PC's have dropped.. DHCP shows nothing being used, etc.. However.. ifconfig sis0 shows up. And I cannot down it.. So, the only fix I know of so far is a complete shut OFF and turn back on. Reboot doesnt cut it. Its needs power off.. Thats why I think its a bad card.. Anyone else have troubles like this? Anyone have suggestions short of replacing the card yet? Trying to save $.. been unemployed almost a year now.. Thanks everyone! C.
