General bridging information

2002-12-20 Thread Edmond Baroud

Hi,

I had bridge_cfg set to xl0:0,vmnet1:0 and bridge to 1 on 4.5-STABLE
and it was working fine, but the only problem I had was that I
couldn't ping my FreeBSD's xl0 IP from the vmware/win2k, both OSes
were unable to talk to eachother using any protocol. (AFAIK..)

Now on 4.7 bridge_cfg is null and ether.bridge=0, my vmware
is working AND also able to see my xl0 IP.
I recently noticed that the netgraph control utility creates a node
at startup by the vmware.sh script;
ngctl list:
  Name: ngctl545Type: socket  ID: 000f   Num
hooks: 0
  Name: vmnet_bridgeType: bridge  ID: 0004   Num
hooks: 3
  Name: vmnet1  Type: ether   ID: 0002   Num
hooks: 1
  Name: xl0 Type: ether   ID: 0001   Num
hooks: 2

My questions is:
was my routing problem between the two OSes caused by this? and
was I conflicting the bridge in anyway by linking it manually
(xl0:0,vmnet1:0) while it was controlled by netgraph?

thanks,

Ed.

RE: Problems with a C application that changes users and run 'screen -x'

2002-12-20 Thread Aaron Burke

 You're not running the executable as `root'.  Since you are not the
 superuser, you do not have permissions to operate on the pseudo-tty
 that login attempts to work with, and this is why you get the
 following error message:

This is as I expected. And I dont know of a way to get around
it.

 
  Cannot open your terminal '/dev/ttyp0' - please check.
 
 Three possibilities that you might wish to investigate further are:
 
 1. Write a shell script that does the equivalent of the system() call
you are using now.  This should be fairly easy and will work fine
if you execute the script from a root shell.

I dont think that this will work. The super-user has nothing to do
with the process that needs to be run. The user that logs in is not
privliged, and the account that he is becomming is not privlidged
either.

 
 2. Fix your program by removing the bad use of `'.

Done. Thanks for the comment on this. I noticed a warning from g++ about
this today.

 
 3. Avoid using system() which I vaguely recall being described with a
lot of bad words in various places and use fork(), exec(), _exit(),
waitpid() and exit() instead.

How would I do this with exec. According to the man page for exec
I have only a few options.
 int execl(const char *path, const char *arg, ...);
 int execlp(const char *file, const char *arg, ...);
 int execle(const char *path, const char *arg, ...);
 int exect(const char *path, char *const argv[], 
   char *const envp[]);
 int execv(const char *path, char *const argv[]);
 int execvp(const char *file, char *const argv[]);

Can you point me to the right documentation to learn about
the exec functions provided by unistd.h?

Allthough I am not familiar with unistd.h at all, I did do
a little bit of expermentation.

Here is my new code:

#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include unistd.h

int main(int argc, char* pszArgs[])
{
int result, result2;
result= execlp(/usr/bin/su, ppp, -m);
result2=execlp(/usr/local/bin/screen, -x);
return result + result2;
}
bash-2.05$ g++ run-ppp.c
bash-2.05$ ./a.out
bash-2.05$

I am a little supprised that nothing appeared to have happened.
Perhaps I am running these improperly. Am I using the correct
exec command? Can you demonstrate how this should work? 
What else could execlp(args) needs to say?

FIXED: fdisk and HD's larger than 2GB

2002-12-20 Thread David Gethings

Would you believe it was a jumper on the HD that was causing all the
problems. The HD is setup as the primary IDE master, but the jumper
settings on the HD were not configured as such. Once the correct jumper
settings were in place fdisk behaved normally.

I'd like to add that I bought the PC as is from a friend, and so
figured this kind of thing would already have been sorted. I won't make
that kind of assumption again.

So the good news is that I now have more than 2G to play with. The bad
news is that seeing as I installed an OS while the jumpers were not
configured correctly, this seems to have corrupted sections of the disk.
So be warned: make sure your HD jumper settings are correct for the HD's
position!

Regards

Dg

 Thanks for your time.

I think execlp is writing over your current process. So first your
process is exchanged with ppp, then ppp is exchanged with screen. You
have to make a copy of your current process, a.out, by using fork, and
then exchange the process image in this copy using execlp.

I suggest you read more about those functions Giorgos mentioned: fork,
execlp, waitpid, and exit.

Best regards,

Re: FTP installation from the floppies through ADSL modem with P

2002-12-20 Thread Toomas Aas

 Date:  Fri, 20 Dec 2002 11:03:25 +0200
 From:  Asker [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 What do you think about changing GENERIC or just the kernel in installation
 floppies in the future releases of FreeBSD? I think it will be very useful
 because ADSL (therefore PPPoE protocol) is very frequent method of
 connecting with Internet Service Provider in our days.

ADSL doesn't necessarily mean PPPoE. At least here in Estonia PPPoE 
seems to be on its way out and the bulk of ISPs providing ADSL use just 
Ethernet without any PPP.

 P.S. FTP installation use much less internet traffic than 4 huge ISO files'
 downloading.

There is no need to download 4 huge ISO files. All you really need is 
the one mini-ISO, ca 200 MB.

Thanks!

You will often be able to build most or all of your new ports without 
building the world, because cvsup-ing has updated the ports skeletons.  
However, occasionally an updated port will depend on something in your 
system having been updated, so building world would be necessary to avoid 
breakage.  Therefore, unless building the world would be a problem (takes 
too long, don't want to take the machine offline, etc.), doing so avoids 
any potential difficulty.

How to make X listen on the network depends on how you start the X
server. If you use startx(1), then you just need to invoke it as:

startx -listen_tcp

Hmm, well, this definately does not work for me ;-/

So, what happens if you try and start X listening on the network?

What version of XFree86 do you have installed? You need at least
XFree86-clients-4.2.0_1 according to my reading of the CVS logs:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11/XFree86-4-clients/Makefile?rev=1.96content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

It should be pretty obvious if your startx(1) understands the
-listen_tcp flag just by reading the script. Of course, if it doesn't
understand the -listen_tcp flag then it probably defaults to listening
on the network anyhow.

What does:

netstat -an | grep '\.60[0-9][0-9]'

sockstat | grep ':60[0-9][0-9]'

return? How about:

ps -axwww | grep /usr/X11R6/bin/X

You need for something to be listening at about port 6000+n
(where n is zero or more, but usually less than 20) in order to have
any hope of running X over the network.

If X *is* listening for network connections, then I'd start looking at
firewall rulesets or the like to discover what's blocking the traffic.

Cheers,

Matthew

chown broken??

2002-12-20 Thread Andrew Cutler

Hello 



I just hosed one of my boxes by recursively setting all my file
permissions incorrectly:

$ su
$ cd /data
$ chown -R andrew:wheel *
$ chown -R andrew:wheel .*


For some reason the last command was interpreted as:
$ chown -R andrew:wheel /* 

I just cvsuped to 4.7 a few days ago, still running 4.7-RELEASE GENERIC
kernel.

Why does the behaviour of chown change when u r root?

Surely this is a bug?

And what the hell is this crap in the man page about -R:

-R  Change the user ID and/or the group ID for the file
hierarchies rooted in the files instead of just the files
themselves.

As always, any assistance is appreciated!

Cheers,
