Andrew http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=70502cid=6404771 It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test. You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts. Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

I looked up the FAQ and found out cdparanoia doesn't run on FreeBSD currently. Can I use Linux binary emulation to run cdparanoia from my linux installation (/ and /usr are ext3, so I can read them from FreeBSD)?

Bit of an odd request, but you should be able to do this by blocking IMCP echo-requests from your lan/wan addresses. You can utilise the IPFW firewall setup for this (there are details in the handbook). I'm not clear why you'd want to do this; maybe you're trying to create a transparent proxy? In which case, there's quite a bit more to it that this; but the subject has been covered before (google can help here). 2ndly i want to stop pop messege from internet . tell me which command i will use I'm not sure if you're referring to the windows messaging client popup adverts that are apparently quite common these days, or to web-browser pop-up adverts. If the former, you need to block the NetBios port range (which is 135-139 udp and tcp - but check with MS knowledge base for up-to-date security info here) at your firewall. If the latter, the situation is quite complex and solutions can vary depending on exactly how you want to go about it. You can simply deny access to known advertising sources (via squid or firewall) or look at client browser configuration (there are options or plugins to control the spawning of new windows via javascript available for pretty much every flavour of modern browser). A final alternative might be to investigate scrubbing web-pages as they're delivered by your proxy server. I'm sorry this is vague; your second question is a bit unclear.

Andrew http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=70502cid=6404771 It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test. You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts. Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

RE: php4
Well this should really be on -questions, I'll forward it there. This is a huge config file but iff I am reading it correctly then what the problem probably is; is SSL. Mod_php4 only gets loaded if you define SSL. It may be that ssl is not defined. So try it by moving the LoadModule php4_modulelibexec/apache/libphp4.so line to outside of the IfDefine SSL tags. Then restart apache and see if that does it. If not take a look and see if mod_mime is getting loaded properly. You may also want to check the extension of you test php file. At the moment it will only pick up files with a .php extension and not ones with a .php3 or .php4 extension.

Is it a problem if i didn't compile php3? Of course I restarted apache after the install... Please help. Here is my httpd.conf file: ## ## httpd.conf -- Apache HTTP server configuration file ## # # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool. # # This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/ for detailed information about # the directives. # # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # After this file is processed, the server will look for and process # /usr/local/conf/srm.conf and then /usr/local/conf/access.conf # unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or # AccessConfig directives here. # # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections: # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a # whole (the 'global environment'). # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host. # These directives also provide default values for the settings # of all virtual hosts. # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the # same Apache server process. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with / (or drive:/ for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path.

Hi all, Yes, a rather strange subject I grant you, but... Having been using FreeBSD for a fair few years now, I quite happily do a buildworld every now and then but one of the mysteries for me is how to rebuild parts of the OS in isolation. My only interest in this is when a security update comes out and it might only affect a certain part of the source tree. I appreciate that in the BSD model, the idea is that a widget can get changed and making world will allow the new features of that widget to permeate to all code, but is there any information on how to go into the various continents and build those on their own? - J ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lukemftpd and directory permission

When we create a directory under any class, the read and execute permissions on the Other bit is disabled (no Other read permissions on any directory created via FTP). This poses a problem as any directory created under FTP will not be readable for web purposes.

The result? Network communications on the system simply went dead. It seems to me that ipfw should be able to self-heal (that is, bypass the rule) or reinvoke a daemon that's attached to a divert socket. Otherwise, the process that's attached to the socket becomes an Achilles' heel for the whole system. Crash it for any reason, and the system's offline.

I would take this one step at a time. Get a firewall installed, get it working, work out the kinks, etc. If possible, keep a log for a week of the traffic through your existing firewall, so that you know what you will have to pass through your new firewall and what you can block. If you are not already fully familiar with writing rules for the new firewall, you prabably want to do this before replacing the existing firewall. Otherwise, there's going to be a lot of user pain, which will become pain for your boss, which will dampen his enthousiasm tremendously. Once you've got the firewall installed and working properly, go through as similar process with mail and other servers. The most persuasive TCO evidence is that from your own systems. If you are not already tracking costs, then you won't be able to provide detailed info, but you can still point out the areas where you are saving money; e.g. licenses. But if I were a manager, I would be more concerned about reliability than cost. Since your organization is already using Windows systems, their cost is obviously not a barrier to use. And if someone did a massive install of FreeBSD systems and they didn't immediately work as well as the Windows systems they replaced, I would be very unhappy. Unless you are *very* experienced with FreeBSD and the software that you will run on FreeBSD, there's going to be a learning curve. Since you are asking about Samba, you don't have that kind of experience. Spare your users and your boss as much of that learning curve as possible. The parts of the learning curve that you can't spare them should be administered in small units, so that you don't create the impression that FreeBSD is unrealiable. There are going to be sceptics at every stage. If you do anything that causes problems, there's going to be pressure to replace the new unreliable FBSD systems with the old reliable Win systems. The greater the problems, the greater the pressure. On the other hand, if each step is relatively painless, that gives you a strong argument for pursuing the next step. And you'll be remembered either as the person who helped bring about painless cost savings, or as the person who caused massive problems and almost shut down the company. Remember also that everyone who comes into contact with the new systems will need some retraining. It's not enough to set up a new system and get it to run reliably. The organization has to learn to work with it. Until that happens, the new system is unreliable from the user's point of view. I remember a friend describing a change-over from Unix to Windows when a small law firm was bought by another law firm. Imagine a grandmotherly AA saying, with a strong southern accent, It would bray-ik ma hawt ta hay-if ta learn Windows. You'll get a similar response from anyone who has to move in the opposite direction. I've never seen a change in which at least one person didn't talk about how much better the old system was.

RE: name all the uses for samba
It's going to take some real work to get it to replace the Win2k AD infrastructure if that's what you have. OTOH, if you are using the NT4 domain infrastructure, it's supposed to work well (haven't implemented it, but here's a link if you want it: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba.html.) Firewalling, email serving and other non-SMB based stuff is not really covered by SAMBA, although FreeBSD can certainly do all that. Other than Active Directory, the only really difficult thing to replace will be your Exchange server, if you have one, and if you use it for groupware stuff, or for group calendaring, especially with Outlook clients. There may be acceptable group calendaring apps that are acceptable, but I haven't run into them yet, and the groupware just isn't there yet, from what I've seen. | -Original Message- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dragoncrest | Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 22:08 | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: name all the uses for samba | | | Ok, I've gotta convince my boss to switch from windows | 2000 to freebsd for | all our internal needs.

.profile and sound problems
Hi, I use the bash shell and wanted to change the prompt and some aliases to use the gnu color ls, so I copied .shrc to .bash_profile and edited it accordingly. I also added java to the PATH in .profile. At first this didn't work when using the gnome terminal until I realised I had to change it to use a login shell. For a short time everything was fine but now .profile is completely ignored and when I start cvsup under gnome the text version and not the gui is used. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I'm using gdm. The second problem I'm having is probably not related to the first. I have a Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128 and compiled a custom kernel where I added device pcm and removed some stuff I dont need.

RAID and NFS exports
Dear FreeBSD gurus, I apologize in advance if this is not the most appropriate list to post this to, but this seems the best that I can find. Here is my situation, we have an Abit AT7 motherboard with onboard RAID (HPT374). It has worked beautifully for us with FreeBSD 4.7 and then 4.8 for a good 8 months or so serving up NFS and Samba. This morning my /etc/exports looked something like /data6 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534 /data8 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534 I then added a line so it looked something like: /data6 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534 /data8 machine1 machine2 -mapall=65534 /data6 -network 10.10.10 -mask 255.255.255.0 -mapall=65534 I sent a HUP to mountd and everything seemed to work fine. Then I started getting errors similar to: ad4: hard error reading fsbn 242727552 So I rebooted and the HPT374 controller was complaining that the first disk in the RAID-0 configuration failed. I thought this might be a bad disk, but we had an identical system with the same EXACT configuration and we started mountd on that with the same exports file from above. A minute or two later the same type of errors and same complaint by the HPT374 controller about the first disk in the RAID-0 array being bad. I was wondering if there is any, no matter how remote, possibility that by adding that third line to the exports file that the raid-0 got corrupted somehow and if so how to maybe reverse it. I have left everything else intact nothing has changed on the controller side or freebsd config. Just as a note, we are not using vinum, but using the created array (ar0) and formatting that as UFS.

Why are Included Packages shrinking
I just have a simple question. As I've been tracking BSD over the years, the options for installing packages (on a post-install configuration) appears (under-exaggerated term) to be getting smaller. Is there a reason that none of the release people want to include any of the default dist files? I work on a few machines online all the time, and also one or two offline. But that just means that I have to take a chance of missing a prerequisite when I download a port file. Why not just include the common ones on the CD like used to be done?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

OTOH, if you are using the NT4 domain infrastructure, it's supposed to work well (haven't implemented it, but here's a link if you want it: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba.html.) Firewalling, email serving and other non-SMB based stuff is not really covered by SAMBA, although FreeBSD can certainly do all that. Other than Active Directory, the only really difficult thing to replace will be your Exchange server, if you have one, and if you use it for groupware stuff, or for group calendaring, especially with Outlook clients. There may be acceptable group calendaring apps that are acceptable, but I haven't run into them yet, and the groupware just isn't there yet, from what I've seen. If the group contacts and calendaring are important in your organisation, check out Bynari Insight Connector at http://www.bynari.net/index.php?id=7. My company has just deployed it on a Windows network for a major customer, and the initial reaction is very positive. It emulates the Exchange groupware stuff using simple IMAP4 format mailboxes, or LDAP directories. The server side is FreeBSD 4.8, with Cyrus IMAPd, OpenLDAP, MySQL, Exim, Horde/IMP, Apache with mod_php and mod_perl, and Mailman. All of which, of course, are free and of proven reliability and functionality. And all in the ports. Realistically, all you'd need would be an SMTP server, an IMAP server, and possibly an LDAP server. Our solution also includes mailing lists and webmail, adding to the overall complexity, but I feel a whole lot happier looking after it all on a FreeBSD box, than I would on a Windows box.

Using mild violence I now have the drive spinning again and need to do some data recovery. It has to be something that is able to handle read errors without stopping, I am thinking dd, any other suggestions? I have an ancient program that I once wrote to make copies of disk drives with bad sectors. It normally reads/writes in large units, but goes back and rereads a section of the input disk one 512 byte sector at a time if it gets a read error. It will retry a single sector read several times before giving up. Unreadable sectors are assumed to be zero. This program was intended to be used with raw disk devices (drivers) doing unbuffered physical I/O with simple error recovery procedures (perhaps a limited number of read retries). I have not ported it to FreeBSD or even looked at it in many years, but it ought to work ok as is. The traditional dd program has a few problems if you use it with the conv=noerror option to copy sick disks. One problem is that you must specify bs=512 (i.e. copy only one sector at a time) to avoid losing good disk sectors adjacent to a bad disk sector. This makes for a slow copy. Another problem is that is that if you tell dd to ignore input errors, it skips the bad blocks on input but not on output so that after a read error blocks are copied to a wrong disk address. I just did a man on the FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE dd command and discovered a new option that avoids this problem. Specify conv=noerror,sync if you use the dd command.

WhatchDog Error on a Lan Card.
Hello all. Today I started receiving this error on the lan card. r10: WATCHDOG TIMEOUT And seems like the TCP/IP services stop passing thought the card. The machine continues running without seeing the world but no other errors beside the above on the console. One thing I notices is that if I try to ping any machine I receive and overflow error. If I restart the machine everything works normally again. The machine is running 4.8 Stable, running on a PIII - 1.0 Ghz with 512 RAM and more than enough free space. The machine is running only Apache with some load. I changed the card with another of the same brand and type, its backup since I always buy 2 same cards for each equipment, just in case. After a few hours and under some load the machine send the same error. Any ideas on what could be causing the problem? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but this is probably a rudimentary question for some of you. Using mailman, I've created a list. But when I do (as root) a python mailmanctl -u start I get a Warning! You may encounter permission problems. Site list is missing: mailman and it exits. I've tampered with this program for hours now, trying every possible combination. How do I get this friggin thing up and running?? I'm running 5.1 RELEASE, but had the same problems with 4.8 RELEASE. I'm ready to toss my box out the FUCKING window!!!
