It's because the permissions are dependent on the linked directory right? Doesn't seem so; You can use 'chmod -h' to change the permissions on the link itself. eg. % ln -s bar baz /tmp/foo:% ls -la total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 matthew wheel0 Mar 30 10:13 bar lrwxr-xr-x 1 matthew wheel3 Mar 30 10:14 baz@ - bar % chmod -h 664 baz % ls -la total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 matthew wheel0 Mar 30 10:13 bar lrw-rw-r-- 1 matthew wheel3 Mar 30 10:14 baz@ - bar When you open a file or directory via a symbolic link, first you need sufficient permissions to read the link itself --- think of it as a tiny little file that simply contains the name of the file that should really be opened. However, once that has been done, the system automatically switches to opening the link target instead, and it's the permissions on the target and its containing directory that have the most effect practically. There's a '-h' flag to chown(1) that works equivalently for changing ownership. However, in general, you don't need to fiddle with link permissions and ownership. root:wheel ownership and lrwxrwxrwx permissions will work just fine. root# ls -ld /usr/chantelle/fax drwxrwxrwx 2 chantelle wheel 512 Mar 30 02:26 /usr/chantelle/fax root# ls -ld /usr/david/fax drwxrwxrwx 2 david wheel 512 Mar 30 02:40 /usr/david/fax root# Even going further upstream doesn't show anything; root# ls -ld /usr/chantelle drwxr-xr-x 7 chantelle wheel 1024 Mar 29 23:13 /usr/chantelle root# ls -ld /usr/david drwxr-xr-x 68 david wheel 5632 Mar 29 22:23 /usr/david I am having a problem writing to the top dir shown, (chantelle) but not the following one (david). Hmmm... I think you're barking somewhat up the wrong tree here. Permissions are too lax, if anything --- I'd certainly change the permissions on those personal fax directories to 755 or 775. The question is, what is the UID of the process that is attempting to write to those fax directories? Is it a well known Fax management package or something home brewed? Either way permissions need to be controlled. The process either has to have a real UID of root and be able to set it's effective UID to the owner of the directory (see seteuid(2)), or it has to belong to the same group as the group ownership of the directories, and group write permission has to be set on the directories. In the latter case, it helps to make sure that any files created also have group write permission or the directory owner won't be able to modify them.

diskless root-etc and special-etc struggles
Hello. Testing new 5.0-Current stuff for diskless booting I ran into struggle with some kind of misleading hierarchy in how /etc and /conf/default/etc ist treated. I use an environment for diskless systems that has well populated specific i(assuming I am chrooted to the diskless root partition): /conf/base/etc, /conf/default/etc and /conf/MY.IP/etc It works as exspected - but not in all ways. /etc in diskless environment can not be left empty, the startup seems to need rc, rc.subr and both rc.diskless[12] files to get clear to startup. rc.d and the new RCng facility does not work. Am I right to say: we need rc, rc.subr and both rc.diskless1 and 2 for a proper diskless boot? Does this imply that rc.d for diskless does not work? I tried to clean /etc or populated /etc/defaults but that ends up in a dead diskless system. Please, this is only a question. At the moment I feel happy that diskless works again in 5.X and hope it works with RCng soon. Oliver -- MfG O.

I would like to be able to mount the hd as soon as I've switched it on, without having to reboot my FreeBSD machine. Thanx in advance. Greetings, Eveline. -- Stoppen met irc kan echt!

Problem with Swedish Keyboard after XFree86 and Gnome upgrade

Re: how to aggregate rules using ipfw2 ?
Hi!
I remember having difficulty getting this to work when I first got IPFW2,
turns out it wouldn't accept it because there _has_ to be a space between
the { and }.
For example...
ipfw add allow ip from any to { 192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8 }
not
ipfw add allow ip from any to {192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8}

Dear Sirs,
how can I aggregate rules ...
ipfw add allow ip from any to 192.168.0.0/16
ipfw add allow ip from any to 10.0.0.0/8
... into the single rule, probably using { .. or .. } syntax?
I read man page, tried few combination, but them don't work for me.

You can also overwrite the base bind by defining PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 like so... cd /usr/ports/net/bind9 make -DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 make install make clean or using portinstall or portupgrade portinstall -m '-DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9' bind9 portupgrade -m '-DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9' bind9 should do it (I think :)) There are similar defines for OpenSSH and OpenSSL too, OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE and OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE :) Markie - Original Message - From: Tim van den Elsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2003 4:20 PM Subject: Re: Bind 9 On Sun, 30 Mar 2003 09:55:15 -0500 (EST) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This may be a silly question but I need some help so here it is.

Not quite. You don't need procmail, but it's handy to have around. You need a pop mail server. Sendmail will be your smtp mail server. could someone point me to the right documentation or examples on the internet OR if possible to explain to me what comes first and how all the above components (fetchmail, sendmail, etc) come together and possibly suggest what combination of software packages I should use. Personally, I don't use sendmail - it's massive overkill for job of being an smtp server. But it's very popular, already installed on FreeBSD, and you shouldn't have trouble getting help with it. Basically, the flow goes: mail arrives at your ISP's smtp server, which puts it where your POP server can get it. fetchmail picks up mail from the the pop server, and hands it to your local delivery agent. Procmail can do that for you, or Sendmail can do it. That needs to put the mail where your local POP mail server can find it. There are a lots of choices for that - just check out /usr/ports/mail/*pop*. I use qmail-pop3d, which comes in the qmail port, which is what I use instead of sendmail. Outbound is even simpler. Your users will tell their clients to deliver outgoing mail to your local SMTP server. Since you have(?) to use your ISP's SMTP server, you'll configure your sendmail to use that as a SMARTER_HOST. There were details on that here in the last couple of weeks. That will cause all outgoing mail to be sent to your ISP's SMTP server to be forwarded to the actual destination. I'd advise doing one direction at a time. Set up sendmail for local delivery by setting sendmail_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf. Check /etc/defaults/rc.conf for other sendmail flags you may want to set up. Then install the fetchmail port, and set that up to read mail from your ISP's POP server and deliver it to sendmail. Finally, choose a pop mail server and install that so you can read mail locally. If you have any questions about the individual steps, ask back here after you've checked the ports documentation and the handbook. Once that's done, all that's left is tweaking your sendmail config for to set the SMARTER_HOST stuff up. Check the archives of this list for information on how to do that. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am only able to obtain BIOSDMA support on my HD's and basic PIO support of my CD-RW. I played around with 5.0-Current on this machine and by utilizing 'atacontrol', I was able to get DMA mode transfers on all of the installed media. There were also no stability issues running in this mode either under 5-Current. Failing any plans by the developers to include this support into the upcoming 4.8-Release or later -Stable code, would it be possible to try and hack the -Current code into -Stable myself?

My understanding of the problem with the ServerWorks chipset was the inability to recognize slave drives; I still have this problem but have just put the server together so have not worked on it much yet. I played around with 5.0-Current on this machine and by utilizing 'atacontrol', I was able to get DMA mode transfers on all of the installed media. There were also no stability issues running in this mode either under 5-Current What were your atacontrol settings, and how did you differentiate the results (dmesg, sysctl)? FWIW, my drive recognition problem exists in 5.0 and 4.7-Stable. I'll forward separately to you a message I received a couple of weeks ago on this or a related issue.

Re: Backport of ServerWorks ATA to 4-Stable?
Hi, Kevin. I, too, have the Dell PowerEdge 600SC. Here is my IDE configuration: - 120GB Western Digital on primary master. - Plextor CD-RW on secondary master. - Lite-On DVD-Rom on secondary slave. I've been running the 4-Stable series of FBSD for quite some time now and just relegated the lack of support of the ServerWorks Southbridge to should be here soon. Just for grins, I installed 5.0 and cvsup'd -Current. While running 5.0, I was able to throw the primary HD into UDMA100 and noticed a fair amount of increased visual performance. The same went for the CD-RW and DVD-Rom, under UDMA33. I burned a number of full CD's and made a number of full dumps of various DVD's to the HD without issue. Also, with the CD-RW and DVD-Rom, while running under 4.x, there is quite a hit on the interrupt activity as reported by `top` while copying large amounts of data. On 5.0-Current, there was virtually none. This is about as scientific I've gotten with this thus far. :p In regard to your machine not being able to recognize slave devices, I don't really know. I've both the CD-RW and DVD-Rom on the secondary controller without a hitch, and one HD on the primary master. What were your atacontrol settings, and how did you differentiate the results (dmesg, sysctl)? If I remember correctly, I used the following under 5.0: atacontrol mode 0 UDMA100 UDMA100 atacontrol mode 1 UDMA33 UDMA33 Attempting to place the secondary controller into DMA mode under 4.x, the machine would lock up shortly after. One other thing, the dmesg for 4.x states the following: pcib0: ServerWorks host to PCI bridge(unknown chipset) on motherboard Where as under 5.0, the dmesg correctly picked up and displayed actual support for the CSB6 Southbridge. I don't have a dmesg handy for this. - John __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Acroread port errors
Hi, I installed acroread-3.02 from ports but I get errors when trying to run it. First I got 3-4 errors about different lib versions needed, eg: libc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Thats true because I had libc.so.6 - libc-2.2.4.so in /usr/compat/linux/lib there were others that were similiar, but I forgot which ones. So for fun, to see if it would work, I just created the new links with # ln -s libc-2.2.4.so libc.so.5 and similiar for the others. Now I get this error, and don't know what to do: /usr/local/Acrobat3/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: relocation error: /usr/local/Acrobat3/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: undefined symbol: __libc_init I'm guessing this is where the different lib versions are not playing well together. pkg_version shows all of the relevant ports such as linux_base-7.1_2 and acroread up to date. cvsup'd ports last night Any ideas?

Create a hot backup server machine?

If the primary server fails, I want to transport the spare machine to the existing site and bring it up as a replacement, with little or no reconfiguration necessary. Nightly mirroring would be adequate in this situation. The system is not running live transaction processing or anything comparable. Is there a straightforward, automated way to mirror a whole FreeBSD system, using open source software? I'm testing ftpcopy to remotely mirror the files and directories. Ftpcopy performs an incremental comparison using dates and file sizes, which should minimize the nightly backup time and traffic load. So far that part seems to be working well. But I haven't figured out how to get the users, groups and permissions mirrored. There are about 200 users. And there may be other gotchas I haven't thought of yet. Thank you very much.

Sounds to me like this is a job for rsync(1) --- see http://rsync.samba.org/ or net/rsync in ports. You can use rsync to maintain a remote copy of a partition, as you describe. rsync(1) will transmit only the minimum necessary over the wire in order to bring the two filesystems into synch. Eg. to save or update a copy of the /var partition on your live server to a backup machine: # rsync -avx --delete /var/ backup.example.com:/backups/var/ By default on FreeBSD, rsync(1) will use ssh(1) for remote shell access. For unattended access you probably need to set up appropriate ssh keys without passwords, but definitely limiting access based on the 'from=' hostname and/or command used via options in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, as described in the 'AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT' section of sshd(8) -- you should also turn off the three types of forwarding with an autologin key.

The approach I am using is to tar the system to a file on the production machine and then rsync that file with my off-site backup machine. I leave it as a tar file on the backup as its almost impractical for me to move that machine to the production site. I would replace the machine on the production site and then copy the file back from the backup machine and un-tar it. In your case I would create the tar file, rsync it to the backup machine and then un-tar it there. Tar retains permissions and ownership properly. Leave the previous tar file on the backup machine as rsync will use it to reduce the download time. My backup file (4 servers) is just over 4 GB. The rsync transfer only sends 1/16th of it. Much of the archived data does not change very often. -- Doug ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Greg -- ---8 I cant recall the PR number but this is in the send-pr database... Someone created the entry nad I added to it.. It is to do with the setting of the atkbd flag in the GENERIC kernel as supplied. It has to be set to 0 for the Mitsubishi keyboards to have any hope of working ... but in the GENERIC kernel from about 4.5?? it is set to 1. So on a new install, you will get through the bootloader then die. Not being a kernel driver hacker.. I didnt/couldnt get any further. The only workarounds for the Mitsubishi keyboards is dont use them. OR install an early distro (4.5??), cvsup to -STABLE or wherver, edit the GENERIC configuration file and set the offending flag to 0, make world and try again. (verrr tedious... and could still bite you) We got a batch of these keyboards some time ago at work and had to return them all.

Only one of two builtin USB hubs working with 4.x, both work with5.x

Possible to use multiple keyboards simultaneously?
Greetings. I'd *really* like to use multiple keyboards simultaneously on the same FreeBSD 4.x box(*). Console mode would be great, but I'd settle for an X11-only solution. A 5.x solution would be fine, too. The best I can find is using kbdcontrol(1) to choose which keyboard is the active one: # kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 /dev/console # kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 /dev/console ... where /dev/kbd0 is my PS/2 keyboard and /dev/kbd1 is (when plugged in) a USB keyboard. Like I said, I wish to have both active simultaneously. The man page for kbdcontrol(1) and ukbd(4) don't say anything that makes me hopeful. From what I see in the implementation of the CONS_SETKBD ioctl(), I'm even less hopeful. Hopefully I'm just wrong? /bob (*) I've got a Mini from FingerWorks, http://www.fingerworks.com/. When plugged in, it advertises itself both as a keyboard and as a mouse. Mar 18 22:25:59 littlebird /kernel: ukbd0: FingerWorks TouchStream Mini ver 1.09, rev 1.10/1.09, addr 2, iclass 3/1 Mar 18 22:25:59 littlebird /kernel: kbd1 at ukbd0 Mar 18 22:25:59 littlebird /kernel: ums0: FingerWorks TouchStream Mini ver 1.09, rev 1.10/1.09, addr 2, iclass 3/1 Mar 18 22:25:59 littlebird /kernel: ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir. It's a really cool thing mouse-wise: simultaneous multiple finger gestures are really cool. And useful. However, the keyboard isn't as nice to type on as my Kinesis. But there are some gestures that the Mini sends as a keyboard device, such as up/down/right/left arrows, not as a mouse device. Once you start dragging two fingers across a FingerWorks keyboard to move the mouse and a single finger to move the cursor, it gets addictive *very* quickly. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi! With regards to the sendmail advisory just published (FreeBSD-SA-03:07.sendmail), will upgrading from the ports CVSup fix the problem, or do I have to perform one of the procedures described in the bulletin? The advisory is about Sendmail in the base system, so anything you do with ports shouldn't affect it. There is, of course, a possibility to install Sendmail from ports (replacing the one in the base system) and if the port is recent enough then the problem is fixed there. But you need to check the port information first. I think that for just fixing this particular bug it is easier to patch and rebuild the base system sendmail as described in the advisory. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * I haven't lost my mind; I know exactly where I left it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

/dev on a read-only filesystem?
I have managed, through hook and crook, to get a full 4.7-REL install on a Compaq IA-1 internet appliance. I put a kernel, /bin, /etc, /boot, /dev, /proc, and a partial /sbin on the internal flash memory. During boot, I mount a complete /sbin, /usr and swap on a microdrive. Since I want to reduce the number of writes to the flash, I linked /tmp, /var, and /root to directories in /usr. So far, so good - the bulk of the write/update activity is now pointed to the microdrive which has no physical write limits. The trick is, if I make / read-only, I run into problems with /dev. During boot, I get numerous error messages - and things don't seem to work quite right. Is there a way to mount / read-only, while maintaining a working /dev? Can /dev be mounted from another filesystem - or, preferably (since the OS is already running) be linked to, say, /usr/dev? If not, how much write activity to the actual, physical volume takes place in /dev. Also, does anything happen on the physical disk with /proc. I don't think it does squat to the physical disk, since a procfs filesystem is mounted there, but I want to make sure I don't damage the flash with periodic writes. I would feel best if the internal flash were completely read-only. BTW - if it wasn't clear, the system boots from flash, and them mounts the microdrive. Also, and perhaps unrelated, if I attempt to run getty from the flash, I get an error message about getty spawning too fast - and I can't ever login on the console. This doesn't happen when I launch getty from the microdrive.

Here is the kernel info: pcn0: AMD PCnet/Home HomePNA port 0x1c00-0x1c1f mem 0x4120-0x4120001f irq 9 at device 5.0 on pci0 pcn0: Ethernet address: 00:01:fa:ff:ac:57 pcn0: MII without any PHY! device_probe_and_attach: pcn0 attach returned 6 I have configured my kernel thusly: # PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code. # NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs! device miibus0 # MII bus support device miibus device xl # 3Com 3c905c support device pcn # AMD PCnet32/PCI support # Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocate. pseudo-device loop# Network loopback pseudo-device ether # Ethernet support pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel. pseudo-device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) pseudo-device md # Memory disks #pseudo-device gif # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling #pseudo-device faith 1 # IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying (translation) # The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. # Be aware of the administrative consequences of enabling this! pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter # USB support device uhci# UHCI PCI-USB interface device ohci# OHCI PCI-USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device ugen# Generic device uhid# Human Interface Devices device ukbd# Keyboard device ulpt# Printer device umass # Disks/Mass storage device ums # Mouse # USB Ethernet, requires mii device aue # ADMtek USB ethernet device cue # CATC USB ethernet device kue # Kawasaki LSI USB ethernet (note - I only included the network and USB sections for brevity) the xl driver was included for development builds - as my development PC has a 3Com nic in it (just makes things easier) Does anyone know if this is on the bug-board, or fixed in the next release? I ask only because I can't replace it - it is built into the Compaq IA-1's with ethernet. Presently, I am working around the issue with a USB NIC, but performance is far from optimal.

how to aggregate rules using ipfw2 ?
Dear Sirs,
how can I aggregate rules ...
ipfw add allow ip from any to 192.168.0.0/16
ipfw add allow ip from any to 10.0.0.0/8
... into the single rule, probably using { .. or .. } syntax?
I read man page, tried few combination, but them don't work for me.
Cheers,
Ilia Chipitsine

Re: Sendmail not building
In the last episode (Mar 30), Robert Hulme said: Has anyone got any ideas why it isnt building? something is wrong with your libbind.so please update or deinstall bind8 or bind9 sendmail-8.12.9 builds fine here FreeBSD.4.5-RELEASE. I've tried deinstall and installing bind8 from ports... It installs fine (and now runs the latest version) but /usr/lib/libbind.so is not updated, the file modification date stays the same as it was before, and sendmail wont compile... There should be no /usr/lib/libbind.so.

Re: fonts.alias / fonts.scale

The XFree86 4.3.0 port installs a mkfontscale command that generates fonts.scale files from Type1 and TTF fonts. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
