Lsof Netstat
I am attempting to use netstat to gain the current amount of bandwidth used by a user. I have devised a way to use lsof to find the IP addresses assigned per each user process and add the bandwidth up in netstat, but if more than 1 user is using that IP address they will all be noted for the bandwidth usage report.

As I asked for the root passwd, the user (former Win, complete newbie with Mac, very basic computer user) told that he didn´t know and that he had never asigned any password (user or root) at all. Tried to su without password (just pressing Enter), but systems wants password. Is there a default (preconfigured) root passwd for new Mac OS X machines , or any simple (that can be executed remotely or that this user could manage to follow on phone instructions) way to assign a new one ?.

Re: Getting SCSI Scanner to work (with Symbios 53c810a and FreeBSD4.4)
On Sun, 1 Dec 2002, Peter Much wrote:
Keywords: FreeBSD SANE Scanner Mustek SCSI MFS-6000CX synchronous disable Symbios
53c810a
Just for the records, or: to whom it may concern.
This is what I had to do to get a scsi scanner to work. I post it
here so others having a similar problem may get inspired.
I got some Mustek MFS-6000CX. The SANE docs say this scanner
will not run synchronous scsi transfers and will not disconnect/
reconnect.
Such simplistic SCSI devices always surprise me a lot. :)
The Qlogic 1020 controller does not detect it, but instead it will
hang infinitely at biosboot.
The WD7000 controller will detect it, but either it does not report
it to the host, or the FreeBSD driver does not recognize it. I did
not check this further, as this ISA controller is rather outdated
(although it likely might be good enough for a scanner).
And seem to have surprised other SCSI people too. :)
The Symbios 53c810a will detect the scanner at biosboot as an
asynchronous scsi device, and also FreeBSD detects it as devicetype
Scanner when looking for devices. But it is not possible
to send any scsi command (like tur, inquiry, etc.) to the scanner;
none will be answered.
Modifying parameters with camcontrol negotiate does not help.
The scanner will be lost at camcontrol rescan and will never be
detected again until system reboot.
Each time a scsi command is issued to the scanner, there will be
no answer, but a kernel error message is logged:
/kernel: (probe5:sym0:0:6:0): phase change 6-7 6@07c5bf8c resid=5.
---
I investigated the source of the Symbios driver and found out:
It is not possible to switch off synchronous transfer negotiation
for a device. There is a variable named period in the source,
and it is set to 25, and it has to do something with synchronous
transfer.
Indeed it has to do.
This value is set for USER SETTINGS. As your controller hasn't NVRAM, the
driver sets it to the capability of the controller.
The driver doesn't try to negotiate by itself but wait either for a
negotiation from the device, or for CAM to say that transfer settings must
be changed.
If your device reports its uncapabilities ;) to CAM correctly by the
INQUIRY response, CAM should tell the driver that transfer settings are
sync_period=0 and sync_offset=0.
If you can display the INQUIRY data of the device, we could check at least
that the device didn't confuse CAM by reporting features it doesn't want
to support.
Anyway, the sym driver code let me think that it will not behave correctly
in such situation. The issue is that the driver will scale the new
transfer setting values against controller capabilities without
considering that period=0 means asynchronous, and thus fall back to 25.
You may try this tiny patch. Even if there is a couple of other places
where the equivalent change has to be done, this one-liner has chance to
also make the driver work with your scanner. You may let me know.

Re: Getting SCSI Scanner to work (with Symbios 53c810a and FreeBSD4.4)
Hi Peter,
You may ignore my previous minute patch and give a try with the below one.
It makes more sense to ignore the period (synchronous period factor) when
the offset (REQ/ACK offset) is zero, facing synchronous data transfer
negotiation in SCSI. Even if the period should be ignored by SCSI devices
when the offset is zero, I would prefer the driver to behave correctly by
design here (i.e.: ignore the period value when offset is zero).
The below patch just does so in the 2 places the driver checks against a
needed sync. negotiation.
Btw, I would consider as broken any SCSI code that makes decision about
data transfer being asynchronous on period value = 0. ;-)

requesting help restoring disklabel on unbootable system
Hello, After an unfortunate sequence of events, my newly successfully upgraded FreeBSD 4.7 machine would not boot anymore and gave me a boot: prompt. Returning to the install CD disklabel program, I saw that the only partition it seemed be to finding was the swap partition. I recreated and wrote to disk what I thought was the old disk partitioning scheme (being careful not to newfs anything). After that, the system would boot off the drive, but would not mount /usr, /var or /tmp due to complains of bad super block: magic number wrong. I suspect that I guess my partition sizes wrong. My questions are: Does this seem like a recoverable situation? If so, how I can restore a correct partition scheme? I have a backup of an old and valid /etc directory. (However, without /usr I don't seem to have enough tools to run tar to get at it, or use fdformat to create a fixit floppy at this point). Thanks! And for the curious, here's how I managed to get into this situation: After I upgraded the OS, I tried to use sysinstall to upgrade bash. I think the trouble was, I using bash to run sysinstall, so it failed. I then used vipw to upgrade the root shell to something else, but after logging out and back in, I got errors that couldn't find /usr/local/bin/bash, so I couldn't log into the machine anymore. So then I tried installing bash from the install CD. It didn't seem to be made for this, because machine would consistently reboot in the middle of this install. At some point in debugging this problem, I may have tried to mount the drive using the installer's disklabel problem. Probabbly somewhere been that and the unexpected crashes I lost the partition map on the disk. -mark http://mark.stosberg.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

XF86-4.2.0, libfreetype.so.8, and TrueType fonts
Hi all. Attached is a mail I sent to the author of XFree86 Font De-uglification (http://ldp.kernelnotes.de/HOWTO/mini/FDU/index.html), but have yet to receive a reply. A pertinent-to-this-group comment: I built Mozilla 1.1 from the ports, but the XFree86 package is from XFree86's own binary distribution for FreeBSD. I therefore hacked mozilla's port Makefile to use the XFree86- supplied libfreetype.so.8 instead of installing libfreetype.so.9; I don't want to clutter /usr/local with stuff that 1) seems un-necessary and 2) should be in /usr/X11R6 anyway ;-, Can anyone here help in lieu of the webpage author's absence?

Hope you don't mind this intrusion. First off, nice set of pages. I found them straight-forward, and up-to- date. Even the external hyperlinks aren't stale! However, I have run into an obstacle that's driving me nuts. Everything goes well until section 5.2, Xft and Mozilla. However, when I go into Moz's Edit - Preferences - Appearance - Fonts, and try to select TTF fonts, I don't get any that begin with an uppercase letter. They all are of a foundry-face-iso-digit style listing (like an abbreviated XFLD), and they are all lowercase. It doesn't matter what font I select, the same thing always occurs: Un-antialiased rendition until the fonts get _really_ big, and then only some fonts, at that. This is Mozilla 1.1, BTW. A few particulars: I'm running FreeBSD 4.5-REL-p23 and Xfree86 4.2, as supplied by the XFree86 project (that is, a binary package for FreeBSD built by by them). /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftoption.h as supplied by the project has TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER defined, and /usr/X11R6/lib has libfreetype.so.8 in it. I'm running a 1024x768, 75-dpi, display on a 15-inch CRT (I do hate how 100-dpi fonts look, TTF or otherwise). All the requisites of the X server are present (RENDER, etc.). I've run 'ttmkfdir' in the font directories, and used that Perl script (which needed a few small changes to run) to create font.alias files, just in case Moz needs that. I attach my /etc/X11/XftConfig and $HOME/.mozilla/default/.../user.js files; can you tell me where I've gone wrong? I can supply more info as you think you need, of course. Note that much of the TTF stuff in user.js is commented, but they make no difference when enabled either. Thanks, Dave -- __ __ \__ \D. J.

Python or not python is irrevelant here.
As last resort, if you don't want to use su, sudo or ksu, you can use
a setuid/setgid wrapper program to execute your script:
wrapper.c -
#include unistd.h

int main(void)
{
execlp(/full/path/to/script, script, arg1, arg2, NULL);
perror(script);

arg1/arg2 is the first/second argument to the script, if any. ie:
-c filename. If there is no args, then leave them out.
Makefile -
PROG= wrapper
NOMAN= yep
.include bsd.prog.mk
---
- put the wrapper.c and the Makefile in a dir, and issue the make command.
- change the owner (group), ie.: chown joeuser:joegroup wrapper
- turn the setuid bit on: chmod 04555 wrapper (not the script)
Hope this helps,

(have the recent changes been MFC'ed yet) I've seen different answers across news groups, this list, and the src/UPDATING file. looks like there are different ways to achieve that. /usr/src/UPDATING is the authoritative source however. a) sendmail_enable = NO (or anything that isn't NONE or YES) sendmail doesn't accept mail from outside (command line submission only). b) senmail_enable = NONE completely disables sendmail. c) mta_start_script=/nonexistent (or empty quotes) completely disables sendmail, with the possibility of you getting complaints during start. /usr/src/UPDATING says you should use for the value. d) sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO verbose way of saying sendmail_enable=NONE. the above is my understaning of the stuff in question, and I might be wrong in some details. if in doubt, consult the /etc/rc* scripts. -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message.see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
ServeRAID 4Lx SCSI RAID Controller
I have an IBM rack mount server with an IBM ServeRAID 4Lx SCSI RAID Controller. I downloaded the FreeBSD 4.7 ISO, but I don't think it supports the card because it shows up as an unknown device on boot up. On http://www.tux.org/pub/bsd/freebsd/FreeBSD-current/src/share/misc/pci_ve ndors It lists the card as 020EServeRAID 4Lx SCSI RAID Controller Is this only in FreeBSD -current possibly? The raid is going to be my boot up device, so I will need to make a bootable cd of -current. Is there an easy way to do this? What does everyone recommend?

Also, if you have another MTA just edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf to point to your new MTA, as the various invocations of sendmail are just wrappers that use the mailer.conf file to determine exactly what they should be executing.

My recommendation is to remove all three of these versions, then reinstall glib12 from ports. That will clean up your tree a bit, and solve your undefined symbol errors. You will also need to do a forced upgrade of gettext (from ports) to the latest version. Looks like you may have installed glib and gettext from packages. One other thing to check is to make sure your kernel and world are in sync. That is a must when trying to build ports or install packages.

And, again, no problems. This is a bit worrysome. Does FreeBSD even notice bad memory? Would the kernel put a message in /var/log/messages? It did not show anything there when buildworld failed. I'm not sure what you're getting at. You've seen just one failure, and it is of a type that is highly unlikely to be memory-related. Au contraire; a syntax error in a make buildworld that cannot be repeated when issued again is almost always indicative of a memory error -- especially with a new out of box FreeBSD 4.7R -- and is generally considered a good memory stress test. I was rightly alerted to a memory error. I ran Memtest86, suggested by a list-member here, and indeed, one of the Kingston 512M DIMM's was acting up. I did some research; and Kingston memory appears to have known issues with the ASUS A7V333 board. As an aside, memtest *can* show false positivies on some Asus motherboards with AMD chips. Tests 5 and 7 are not to be trusted. I found this out by own observations, and I believe (although I cannot remember where I read it) that tests 5 and 7 can be a bit iffy. The memory in question when in use and under stress showed no memory typical problems at all. The same memory tested on a system with a Pentium III also showed no failures with repeated running of these particular tests. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: debugging wheel mouse
I've solved the problem. If you configure XFree86 to use Protocol sysmouse then wheel scrolling will not work, because this puts the mouse into 5-byte mode which only supports 3 buttons. You have to use protocol auto in the XFree86 config to enable sysmouse 8-byte protocol with support for buttons 4 5. This is not mentioned anywhere that I can find. I'll get the FAQ updated. Debugging was a pain, basically I ran kdump on the X server and looked at the I/O from the mouse device, then had a read of the appropriate machine/mouse.h header and discovered that the 5-byte protocol was not good enough. A lot more fiddling and trial-and-error produced the fix. Greg. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I have a lead on solving this now. I found a tool called find-sb which finds superblocks, and seemed like it could be used to make a smarter guess about what my partition sizes should be. The trouble is, now I'm scratching my head about how to this tool installed in a useable state on the system since I can't boot fully in the first place. find-sb: http://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/BSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/tools/tools/find-sb/ I downloaded find-sb and the associated Makefile, but running make failed with many errors on FreeBSD 4.7.

You may see the difference to your tag definition. I recomment at first
to write your wanted tag to a single line as I do. If that wouldn't help
(but I'm sure you tried), delete your ports/multimedia and cvsup again.
If that wont work, try to get ports-all and define a refuse file
(${BASE}/sup/refuse).
Hope any of that helps,

Re: debugging wheel mouse
I disagree. The necessity of protocol auto is documented all the heck over the place, from the Handbook to the FAQ to the README.mouse file that comes with X itself. Well, I spent a week or so reading the FAQ, searching the mail lists, reading man pages and never saw the fact that protocol auto gave different results to protocol sysmouse mentioned - nor the fact that although protocol auto reports it is using sysmouse, it is not the same. That is just plain confusing and should be prominently mentioned. I never saw any such mention, despite plenty of effort to solve this problem, so I reckon it needs better documenting. And, README.mouse says, 3.3 FreeBSD FreeBSD supports the SysMouse protocol which must be specified when the moused daemon is running in versions 2.2.1 or later. When running the mouseddaemon, you must always specify the /dev/sysmouse device and the SysMouse protocol to the X server, regardless of the actual type of your mouse. which actually tells you to do the +wrong+ thing.

physically mounting a FreeBSD drive on a WinXP box
i don't know if posting this question is relavant to this group... but i was wondering if it was possible to physically mount a former FreeBSD disk on a winxp box. i know someone would suggest that i mount the drive on the FreeBSD box and get the files i need that way... however, this is not an easy process. it would be alot easier if i could take the drive and use something to take the files from my WinXP system. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Strange WWW problem
For the last two weeks or so, my web server has stopped processing requests after about 5:30pm or so until about 9:30 or later. I've checked the logs and thought that the Nimbda virus was bogging my server down, this was after I increased my MaxServers in http.conf from 10 to 20. Even then I had 13 httpd processes running. The weird part is that there will be periods of time when I can access any of my web sites just fine for about 5 minutes or so before I start getting The page Could not be found errors in IE. Nothing has changed recently in the configuration, so I tend to lean towards being DOS'ed, either via Nimbda or...? I'm seeing the attempts in my log, but right at this moment I'm not seeing any new ones, only have 5 http process's active.. and still can't access any of my domains via WWW. Anyone have any ideals?

AFAIK, this is not possible. FreeBSD can mount Windows filesystems, but the other way around is not true. As always, since m$ is the bigger one, the others have to follow their standards, while m$ itself doesnt care about anyone else's. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
