Hello, How do I stop my kernel from using a piece of core? I mean, if I have 32MB of memory, how do i make it to use only the low 16,for instance (not removing the chips themselves,though)? I think setting MAXMEM in your kernel config file as follows will do what you want. optionsMAXMEM=(16*1024) From the LINT kernel: # MAXMEM specifies the amount of RAM on the machine; if this is not # specified, FreeBSD will first read the amount of memory from the CMOS # RAM, so the amount of memory will initially be limited to 64MB or 16MB # depending on the BIOS. If the BIOS reports 64MB, a memory probe will # then attempt to detect the installed amount of RAM. If this probe # fails to detect 64MB RAM you will have to use the MAXMEM option. # The amount is in kilobytes, so for a machine with 128MB of RAM, it would # be 131072 (128 * 1024). -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

opinions on my plan
I am building a firewall/NAT box for my father. This is the first firewall that I've built. And, I'm trying to put only the minimum software on it that will help me remote administer it (ie. ssh) and keep it up to date (ie. portupgrade). I figured I'd need a few programs installed for convenience. But, I didn't want to sacrafice security. I thought I might get the advice of those who have gone before me. Here is what I was thinking about installing: here's what I consider to be almost mandatory sshd cvsup portupgrade here's what I thought might add for obvious reasons squid (maybe ??) portsentry (maybe ??) ncftp (client only if I can find it) links I'm mostly concerned about cvsup and portupgrade because I see them as being next to mandatory. I think I could get along without them. But, I'm concerned about security risks associated with not being current. Do they pose more security risks than they might prevent by keeping me current? Another thing about portupgrade that concerns me is what it does to my kernel sources. I tried recompiling after having run portupgrade and pretty much hosed everything. I started over from scratch and recompiled first. I haven't put portupgrade back on, yet. I wanted to get opinions about it's risk:reward ratio first. I'm open to all suggestions, links or any other comments. This is new territory for me.

I'm thinking of enabling SUIDDIR on a web server that offers CGI -possibly even shell access if there's a difference. This is mentioned in several man pages: It provides security holes for shell users and as such should not be used on shell machines, especially on home directories. With regards to creating files/etc, it mentions: Execute bits are removed from the file, and it will not be given to root.

I only want to mess with it once and be done with it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Darren Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2003 11:49 AM To: fbsd-questions Subject: opinions on my plan I am building a firewall/NAT box for my father. This is the first firewall that I've built. And, I'm trying to put only the minimum software on it that will help me remote administer it (ie. ssh) and keep it up to date (ie. portupgrade). I figured I'd need a few programs installed for convenience. But, I didn't want to sacrafice security. I thought I might get the advice of those who have gone before me. Here is what I was thinking about installing: here's what I consider to be almost mandatory sshd cvsup portupgrade here's what I thought might add for obvious reasons squid (maybe ??) portsentry (maybe ??) ncftp (client only if I can find it) links I'm mostly concerned about cvsup and portupgrade because I see them as being next to mandatory. I think I could get along without them. But, I'm concerned about security risks associated with not being current. Do they pose more security risks than they might prevent by keeping me current? Another thing about portupgrade that concerns me is what it does to my kernel sources. I tried recompiling after having run portupgrade and pretty much hosed everything. I started over from scratch and recompiled first. I haven't put portupgrade back on, yet. I wanted to get opinions about it's risk:reward ratio first. I'm open to all suggestions, links or any other comments. This is new territory for me.

Re: Voodoo 3500 AGP under FreeBSD
Sorry to be still hammering on about this problem - I am starting to feel a bit dense. I've tried a few times now to get FreeBSD running a GUI with my Voodoo 3500 AGP card. Thanks to some helpful advice from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I reckon that I should be able to get things running using the tdfx X-server. Other advice is that if my card ain't listed explicitly, it won't work. Longer term, a carefully-chosen card will be a great solution - at this point though I just want to try things out and the number of cards that will run BeOS, Linux, FreeBSD and/or Windows (this last reluctantly) seems a little limited. As an aside one of the problems here is that BeOS now seems happier with *old* graphics cards (one of the problems that got me looking for the ONE OS in the first place). When I try to run the tdfx driver I am still unable to complete X Windows installation successfully so I suspect that it really may be a case of having to specify a specific card for a trouble free GUI. Just as an experiment I stuck on the latest Mandrake 9.0; in half an hour and I was up and running Gnome 2.0 with no problems whatsoever using a generic Voodoo driver. Am I being stupid in thinking that this is the same XFree86? I really don't want to go down a Linux route, I've been burned too many times there in the past. Any expertise greatly welcome at this point. cheers, Steve Hodgson To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

[snip] [My bad - forgot to copy the list and edifice on my initial reply.] I'd describe the problem differently than the bootloader not knowing anything about NTFS. First, Windows NT, 2000, and XP all share the same filesystem, which MS calls NTFS. That filesystem type is also used by IBM's OS/2, where it is referred to as HPFS. I believe QNX may use this type as well. Bootloaders are severely limited in size. There isn't room to provide for all the possible choices per various filesystem types (as we've seen, 4 or 5 at least for type 7; this isn't the only duplication - type 82, for example, is used by both Sun Solaris and Linux swap). Boot managers like Grub and the one used by MS with NT/W2K/XP get around the size limitation by allowing users to insert names for the various boot items in config files that are not actually part of the bootloader itself. I don't know for sure, but my guess is that rewriting the FreeBSD bootloader as a boot manager with a config file would essentially mean creating from scratch something on the level of Grub. So why do so when Grub is already in the ports? -- Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: YP/NIS timeout.
In the last episode (Jan 01), lewiz said: At the login: prompt I enter my username (lewiz), hit return and get nothing for a while until: yp_order: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out This message gets repeated a few times but I can do pretty much nothing with my machine. Even as I log in as a local user (say root) I get past entering my password, at which point I get the same message. I can't understand why this happens. Update here: I've just sat and watched it a bit longer. I only get one repetition of this message with root, after which it allows me to login as per usual. Still, this seems odd because root has nothing to do with the YP/NIS configuration, does it? Hit ^T during the pause and find out what program is hanging. You probably have a command in your shell's startup script that is trying to resolve an NIS username. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Sound card question
Is a PCI sound blaster card supported? I've found that FreeBSD 4.7 so far has supported every odd sound card I've thrown its way. Even (especially!) those on-board sound things built into motherboards and laptops these days. FreeBSD supports them all (and Windows usually doesn't without the special CD-Rom from the motherboard manufacturer.) Just add device pcm to the end of the kernel conf file, build a new kernel, and I'll bet almost any sound card will work on reboot.

getting freebsd to install on a promise sx6000
I am trying to install freebsd-4.7 stable on a promise sx6000 controller. Since the pst driver is not enabled on the kernel image i had to recompile the kernel to support it and also modified the mfsroot.gz to have /dev/pst0 entries. But when i am just about to install sysinstall complains with something like this: DEBUG: MAKEDEV Unknown major/minor devtype /dev/pst0s2b Is there anything I need to modify ?

recording audio with SoundBlaster Live/pcm cards: has anyone triedthis?
I have been working on recording vinyl LPs to digital files but have run into a problem. It turns out I misread the cryptic runes on the back of the sound card and was actually recording through the mic jack. It worked as far as I could tell -- I got sound -- but I now have audio that sounds suspiciously like mono. So after tracking down the manual for the card (an SB Live! Gamer or Platinum w/o the Live drive), I am now using the line in and running the audio through an stereo receiver. But now nothing registers on the level indicators in gramofile. According to Creative's open source site, audio in and out is supported, but there's supported and proven to work. Anyone have any experience with this or troubleshooting ideas I should be aware of? -- Paul Beard: seeking UNIX/internet engineering work http://paulbeard.no-ip.org/paulbeard.html 8040 27th Ave NE Seattle WA 98115 / 206 529 8400 A tautology is a thing which is tautological.
