When it was yanked out, some of the internal cables were disconnected. Had to find the motherboard book to figure out how to set them back up properly. Once that was done, the machine came up and worked fine. However, its inlet fan was severly disfigured by the falling burning stuff. Since its at the bottom of the unit, the junk only marred the bottom of the frame. There were no electronics there for it to damage. The fan sounds funny now and I wouldn't trust it. However, the keyboard connector is now defective. You can't plug a keyboard into it. I couldn't find anything visibly wrong with it, it just doesn't work. I have no idea how that happened since there was a keyboard plugged in during the flooding. My only guess is that whoever unplugged it did so via the grab case and run method - leaving the keyboard to catch and disconnect itself. If it's a PS/2 type keyboard connector (small plug) there is a plastic pin that often gets broken off and left in the socket if connectors are pulled out violently, blocking a new keyboard being inserted. (Seen it often with mice.) If this is so, I've had success getting them out by using 'blue tack' (a semi-adhesive goo used to hold the kids drawings on the wall) on the end of a matchstick to grab hold of it. Sounds like this machine was lucky, though replace the fan when practical... None of the MS servers survived. None had backups either. I suspect that will be a significant problem. However, I do have backups for the mail server and did recover the complete disk and dumped it to my laptop so that will be a simple restore. Are they completely toast? Can the hard discs be pulled and tested in another machine? Failing that, companies do exist that specialise in data recovery in these situations. For a price. It depends how valuable the data is...

(yes the nv driver works, but it does not support TV out on X) Upgrade to FreeBSD 4.7 STABLE or newer. Upgrade to XFree86 4.2.1_3 server and 4.2.1 binaries or newer. Here are a few simple questions... (1) How do I know if I successfully upgraded to 4.7-STABLE? Use the command: uname -a to see what version of FreeBSD you're running. After I upgraded(downloaded 4.7-STABLE sources using cvsup and chapter 21 instructions), I rebooted and it still said 4.7-RELEASE on startup. What's up with this? Is this really still 4.7 RELEASE?? Or could a mistake in mergemaster have kept this text? Hmmm... Did you perhaps get the RELENG_4_7 sources (that would give you version 4.7-RELEASE-p2 at the moment) rather than the RELENG_4 sources (which gives you 4.7-STABLE)? Take a look at /usr/src/UPDATING --- the first line or so of that file should indicate what variant you've cvsup'd. (2) How do I go about updating to the latest and greatest XFree86? I used cvsup to update the ports collection, but when i started up X 4.2.1.1 flashed up before it started. How do I check what version of XFree86 is installed and what is the correct way of updating it? pkg_info -I XFree86\* will show you what versions of the XFree86 packages you have installed. pkg_version -v -s XFree86 will tell you if any of your installed ports/packages are out of date with respect to the /usr/ports tree on your system. The best and least painless way of updating something like X windows is to install and use portupgrade(1): you need to get the XFree86 package dependencies right, which can be tricky, but which portupgrade will handle automatically for you. Also, I am able to boot into X with this driver but after a while it crashes the entire system. Anyone running the nvidia driver with success? Works for me. Note that you should reinstall the nvidia stuff after reinstalling the XFree86-libraries package, as they both claim /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a and /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 and each overwrites the other's version of those files.

I find it's never a good idea to complain about how long it takes someone to do the job right the first time. -- Paul Beard: seeking UNIX/internet engineering work http://paulbeard.no-ip.org/paulbeard.html 8040 27th Ave NE Seattle WA 98115 / 206 529 8400 Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it. -- Marvin, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Portupgrade vs. multiple versions of packages
Hi all,
I've just spent a fun day upgrading ~180 ports that were about a year out
of date, which will teach me not to be so lazy in future :-( Anyway,
portupgrade coped with most of this mess admirably, except for
(unsurprisingly) the KDE2 -- KDE3 upgrade.
Portupgrade simply refused to upgrade kdelibs-2.2.2 to the latest 3.0.5_1,
I suspect because the install required some file that portupgrade was
deinstalling along with the rest of 2.2.2, before it installed 3.0.5. So
in the end I just installed 3.0.5 on top of the old version, presumably
leaving various rubbish from the old installation on my system. This
allowed the rest of the upgrades to proceed happily.
Pkgdb moticed later that I had two kdelibs installed, and helpfully offered
to deregister one for me. I took it up on this, and ended up with a new
file +CONTENTS.kdelibs-2.2.2 under /var/db/pkg/kdelibs-3.0.5_1, alongside
the usual +CONTENTS for the new version.
First question: Will any of the pkg* tools make use of this file so that I
can, for example, deinstall the new version plus the leftover bits of the
old version, next time I upgrade?
Second question: If not, is there a nice automated way to find (and remove)
stray files left behind by old packages that weren't properly removed? I
could put together a script to find anything in /usr/{local,X11R6} that
doesn't belong to any installed package, but maybe this wheel has already
been invented?
Thanks in advance happy new year,
Scott

Virtual interface support?
Does freebsd support virtual interfaces? (i.e. a network interface not associated with a hardware interface). My system is running 4.7 release with only a dialup ppp POTS connection, which is a bit limiting if you want to learn about networking. Ideally I would like to set up a private network address on a virtual interface. The html documentation supplied with apache2 appears to require the server to be running for browsing (many of the links appear broken). If this support is provided by netgraph I would appreciate some pointers on setting this up. thanks Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Virtual interface support?
For testing purposes, I have used the gif interface several times. I know man(8) gif states it is a tunnelling interface, but from stations on the network, the interface can be seen all the same. (I normally use the gif interface for simulating several interfaces for IPFW configuration). Don't know if it will help, but I thought I'd try anyway.

Re: Using syslog to seperate out log messages
- Original Message - From: David Dooley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 4:18 PM Subject: Using syslog to seperate out log messages Hi, I have a small problem, well more of an annoyance than anything, but I was hoping that someone would be able to solve it for me. I have an Internet connection from Demon in the UK and I am using a D-Link DSL-300G+ ADSL modem to connect via. This device uses DHCP to request the network configuration from Demon and then offers it via DHCP to my firewall system. This all work fine and I am now in the process of securing the link with ipfw. Now it would appear the the D-Link box advertises the connection information to the firewall every 30 seconds or so with the following entries Dec 31 00:07:21 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:07:21 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 Dec 31 00:07:50 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:07:50 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 Dec 31 00:08:19 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:08:19 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 as you can see I get quite a lot of this rubbish in the 'messages' file and I would like to move all the dhclient traffic into another log file that I can truncate/remove/ignore on a regular basis. When I try and direct the above entries with a line like !+dhclient *.* /var/log/dhclient.log or !dhclient *.* /var/log/dhclient.log or !-dhclient *.* /var/log/dhclient.log The above traffic still occurs but now I get the following additional messages every 30 seconds or so in the new file Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 62.49.18.138 port 67 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: DHCPACK from 62.49.18.138 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: bound to 62.49.18.137 -- renewal in 28 seconds. Can any one tell me how to stop these messages in the 'messages' file? I'm no expert but I think the messages may be coming from the 'user' facility. I have a router that I capture log messages from and had to put 'user.none' in the line for /var/log/messages to get rid of the traffic. Then I had a line further down that grabbed all messages from my router and directed them to another file.

My system is running 4.7 release with only a dialup ppp POTS connection, which is a bit limiting if you want to learn about networking. Ideally I would like to set up a private network address on a virtual interface. Understandable. There is a port called vtun which is especially nice for this. It even allows rate limiting and so forth, so you can simulate connections at different speeds. Very fun for learning, and also very useful for advanced routing, and vpns. The html documentation supplied with apache2 appears to require the server to be running for browsing (many of the links appear broken). If this support is provided by netgraph I would appreciate some pointers on setting this up. Netgraph supports it as well.

I later learned that you should be using your internet service providers smtp server. For example, lets take AOL. AOL will let you use any SMTP server in the world, with no problems.

NFS problems -- performance degraded after upgrade to 4.7
Hello all, I'm having some problems with nfs performance. Here is a bit of background. I have a fileserver running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE. This has a 3ware Escalade with 4 x 80GB Maxtors in a RAID 5 config. I am exporting /usr/ports, among other things - 5 exports total to 2 clients. The clients are all running 4.7-Stable as well.

ata fallback to PIO mode on dual processor AMD systems

I was about to shuffle things to get the disks onto separate channels, but I now see that would be a mistake as my CD drive would share a cable with a disk. Anyway, they all have the 80 conductor cable. I forgot to add some environmental and other information. The 4 AMD systems are in Aopen hx08 towers, with 400 watt power supplies, and 5 auxilliary fans (in addition to the power supply fan, and fan on each cpu). They are in an air conditioned machine room. The CPU and motherboard temperatures are within spec. I mention this as I note many reported AMD system problems traced to overheating. All drives are installed in removeable drive bays. I don't have the make/model on hand right now. They were $19 CAD. ($13USD). The low cost makes me suspicious now, but... I'm running the same tests on 4 single processor 2.4GHz Intel systems. They have not failed in this manner so far. Initially, I had 1GB memory modules in the AMD systems (I can't remember the make) and the systems froze and rebooted randomly. I moved to Crucial 512MB modules to cure that problem.

Re: Portupgrade vs. multiple versions of packages
On Tuesday 31 December 2002 07:41 am, Scott Mitchell wrote:
Hi all,
I've just spent a fun day upgrading ~180 ports that were about a year
out of date, which will teach me not to be so lazy in future :-(
Anyway, portupgrade coped with most of this mess admirably, except
for (unsurprisingly) the KDE2 -- KDE3 upgrade.
Portupgrade simply refused to upgrade kdelibs-2.2.2 to the latest
3.0.5_1, I suspect because the install required some file that
portupgrade was deinstalling along with the rest of 2.2.2, before it
installed 3.0.5. So in the end I just installed 3.0.5 on top of the
old version, presumably leaving various rubbish from the old
installation on my system. This allowed the rest of the upgrades to
proceed happily.
Most of us upgraded to XFree86-4.x at the same time. The HEADSUP
instruction at the time were to completely delete both of them and then
upgrade install the new versions.
Kent
Pkgdb moticed later that I had two kdelibs installed, and helpfully
offered to deregister one for me. I took it up on this, and ended up
with a new file +CONTENTS.kdelibs-2.2.2 under
/var/db/pkg/kdelibs-3.0.5_1, alongside the usual +CONTENTS for the
new version.
First question: Will any of the pkg* tools make use of this file so
that I can, for example, deinstall the new version plus the leftover
bits of the old version, next time I upgrade?
Second question: If not, is there a nice automated way to find (and
remove) stray files left behind by old packages that weren't properly
removed? I could put together a script to find anything in
/usr/{local,X11R6} that doesn't belong to any installed package, but
maybe this wheel has already been invented?
Thanks in advance happy new year,

For example, I have a us/es button on my status bar of KDE-3, which provides dead keys that let me type the acutes, the diaeresis(umlaut) keys, and others. The ' key, for example, becomes a kind of sticky key and you type it and then the letter you want to be an acute. The :/; become the n with the tilde over it. There are others. In kword, you can also use the alt+keypad sequences such as alt+0228 is an umlaut e. I tried the keypad method in konsole mode and it didn't work. Switching is a little easier in Windows for me because pressing the left shift and alt key at the same time toggles the keyboard switch. I figure there is something similar for KDE but don't know what it is.

But that so there seems unjustified. Maybe the last part is true, but does the fact that two liquids are misable mean that the lighter one will carry off the heavier one in evaporation? One could as easily guess that the heavier one keeps the lighter one's evaporation rate down to the heavier one's -- or anywhere in between. Or they each evaporate at their own rates, separating at the moment of evaporation. Arrgh. I'm sorry but this is bugging me. The word is miscible, from the Latin miscere to mix. The point of rinsing with isopropanol is simply to disolve and flush away as much of the bulk water as possible. The drips of isopropanol left on the kit will still contain water (As Chuck pointed out, it's difficult (read expensive) to make completely dry isopropanol and handle it so that it stays dry). Even so, there will be much less water present after rinsing, so that it won't take much time to dry. The isopropanol itself being a lot more volatile than water evaporates fairly quickly. It's not that mixing alcohol with the water makes the water evaporate faster. The rate of evaporation depends on a number of factors --- * the partial pressures of the alcohol and water vapours above the liquids --- these will be completely independent of each other to a good approximation. * the concentration of the different components in the bulk liquid. Adding alcohol reduces the water concentration so this factor would actually tend to lower the rate of evaporation. * the surface area of the liquid vapour interface, which adding alcohol tends to increase, hence speeding up evaporation.

Kerb.5 login hangs when uplink (internet) is down
This one is mostly for the records, as I recently had to fix it. If you - run the Kerberos5 kdc as distributed with FreeBSD (4.4, maybe others as well), - and have DNS nameservice running - and DNS configured to access the root-nameservers of the internet (or some equivalent configuration), then everything may work well until someday the internet connection (or your equivalent uplink to your root-nameserver) is not active. And then suddenly no kerberized login at all will work anymore. Although you usually should not need that uplink for production (because all the host data for your site and kerberos realm should be kept in local nameservers or other means), you might experience quite an inconvenience by this effect. The point hereby is: the kerberos system tends to do requests to the nameserver asking for the TXT record for krb5-realm.localhost. and _kerberos.localhost., as there is the option to do kerberos configuration in that way. But in cases these records do not exist - because there is no nameserver map at all for a domain .localhost - and then the local nameserver will not know about them and will propagate the query up to the root-nameserver, likely to get the authoritative answer that these records do not exist. And kerberos will be satisfied by this and continue without them. Now when the root-nameservers are not reachable, then the local nameserver does not know if these records might exist somewhere or not - and it will tell so to kerberos (aka server failed). This is not considered satisfying by kerberos, so it will stall the login process and ask the nameserver every 40 secs. again and again if the connection has come back. To get rid of this, just make your local nameserver authoritative about it, i.e. configure an empty zone file for domain localhost. Comments by nameserver experts?
