default boot vs. safe mode
Hello, I wonder what exactly is the difference between booting the 'default mode' and 'safe mode' from the initial booting menu in -CURRENT. Because, with 'default' it _always_ hangs for me, but with 'safe' I _never_ had a problem. Is it just setting some kernel variables (like /etc/sysctl.conf)?

ports security updates branch
Hi :) This might be a dumb question, but I was wondering if a king of stable branch existed for the ports tree. Under OpenBSD I think you can follow the ports tree stable branch so you only get security updates for your ports. This does not seem possible under FreeBSD, if I understood correctly only the current branch (tag=.) is used for ports; at least this is what I always used... Now, here are my questions about that: - is there a way to only get the security updates for ports ? (are security updates for ports included in the FreeBSD security advisories) - when upgrading to a new release, can I use the release branch for ports ? The reason I'm asking this is that I don't want to update my ports everytime a new version comes out... except if it has a security issue. Thanks for reading me.

FreeBSD 5.1 USB Keyboard support
Hi Im using FreeBSD 5.1 and I can't get my Logitech USB keyboard to work directly in the consol. I have search trough the net and found very little (either I searched wrong or there is very little info). In rc.conf I have added support for usb by usbd_enable=YES From the dmesg I can see that FreeBSD finds the keyboard and adds it like ukbd0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/17.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1 kbd1 at ukbd0 The Kernel is rebuilt and has support for USB.

dhclient getting infinite IPs?
I have a Belkin 802.11g router (model F5D-7230-4) and my freebsd 4.7 server connected to it. Everything was working fine, but I moved and changed ISPs. I'm not aware of anything that has changed in the configuration on the server since I moved. I have the router setup for DHCP and I'm having a heck of a time getting my server to obtain an IP properly. In /etc/rc.conf there is: ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP When I try: /sbin/dhclient fxp0 it gets an actual IP address, but it keeps getting multiple IPs from the router over and over again. It tells me each IP address, subnet, gateway, etc as it gets them, but if I let it go on, it will keep getting them forever. (e.g it obtains 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, and so on). Looking at the DHCP client list on the router, shows indeed that these IPs have been assigned, but mysteriously the MAC addresses are all listed as 00:00:00:00:00:00. After this infinite IP obtaining goes on for awhile, I do a hard break (CTRL+C) to end it. I do an ifconfig and it shows that is either has the first IP it obtained or the last one (it varies over the times I've repeated this). However, it really is not connected to the network at all, and i can't do anythign with the server.

Hello, I got an ATEN USB to serial connector; installed and working as ucom0. Plugged a serial modem and able to communicate via tip. However, when I try to use ppp, I get this error message: unable to set physical to speed 0 I read the ppp man pages but couldn't find anything about 'set physical' and 'set speed' to whatever doesn't seem to work either. Any idea what I should do so I can use ppp on the modem? BTW, I'm using FreeBSD 5.1-Release and yes, the modem does work on a regular serial port. So why not just use the serial port?

freebsd tcp/ip stack
Hi, Been reading an article around Sun's new Solaris tcp/ip stack: Sun Microsystems' new Software Express program is alive and kicking with the company delivering a rewritten TCP/IP stack for Solaris that is meant to prepare customers for faster networking technology code-named Fire Engine - has 10 gigabit and 100 gigabit Ethernet networks in mind http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/33440.html Just out of curiosity whets the maximum bandwidth/throughput the freebsd tcp/ip stack can handle or is designed to handle? (I know it'll depend on many factors such as firewalling (if enabled) and of course network cards/drivers, system load etc...) but as a basic figure? ``FreeBSD ... provides what is probably the most robust and capable TCP/IP stack in existence ...'' ---Michael O'Brien, SunExpert August 1996 volume 7 number 8. I've read in many places about freebsd's stack being advanced, but haven't seen many (if any) benchmarks to prove that freebsd stack is better than say the windows, linux or indeed other bsd os' stacks?

Re: Package Management
Does FreeBSD have package management to view the packages installed and their names with versions, remove the packages installed, and track the packages installed to avoid conflicts and retain stability? You can view what packages are installed by doing ls /var/db/pkg | more There is also a package called portupgrade (cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade make install clean) which will upgrade your installed packages to the latest version of ports running on your machine. You will however need to cvsup your ports (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html) to the latest version first - beware, don't make the mistake i've made in the past, any databases (e.g. mysql) should be stopped manually before port upgrading, because portupgrade seems to aggressively stop the db server which can cause cached data to be lost.

Performance impact with SCHED_ULE in 5.1?
Hello. Using SCHED_ULE instead of SCHED_4BSD seems to result in massive performance losses in NFS in conjunction with the Intel em-NICs. We use some Intel P4 based diskless/dataless nodes for numerical calculations over GBit LAN (all machines have Intel PRO/1000 LAN NICs) with clusterit. On the master machine, which is also a P4 system with em-NIC, but SCHED_4BSD scheduler, those massive NFS problems do not occur. I will do some tests to ensure its really the SCHED_ULE option but at this stage I'm sure. I also realised that on SMP machines with Intel 1000/PRO server NICs and SCHED_ULE and ADAPTIVE_MUTEXES enabled the machine gets highly instable (also in 5.1-CURRENT!).

Re: PNP ISA Modem Motorola Premier 33.6 Internal can't install
Howzit Maxim,
I had problems with my FreeBSD 4.7 machine not seeing my generic ISA PNP K56 Flex
fax/modem. Here is what I did to get it working:
1. Edit the /usr/src/sys/isa/sio.c file (as root, of course)
2. Insert the appropriate value for your modem in the file under the isa_pnp_id
function (should be around line 700). So...just stick in the following line,
remebering that the list is sorted alphebetically on your CSN (ie. MOT1580):
{0x8015f435, NULL}, /* MOT1580 - My Mototola modem!! */
3. Save the file and exit.
4. Rebuild your kernel
Voila! It should register your ISA modem in dmesg when you reboot.
Hope it works! You might have to use 0x19647968 as your id, not sure.

How can I solve the problem?
How does FreeBSD configurate PNP isa devices?

(I know it'll depend on many factors such as firewalling (if enabled) and of course network cards/drivers, system load etc...) but as a basic figure? 4 years ago a team at Duke used FreeBSD with commodity hardware to achieve the then-record of 1.147 Gb/s (http://www.cs.duke.edu/ari/trapeze/gigabitip.html). Other performance data on that site indicates it was later raised to about 1.4 Gb/sec. I don't know of more recent performance results, but I'd expect significant gains since then due to hardware improvements. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

What I see is on the XP box, the connectoid which shows the packet counters shows lots of receive errors. If I (for example) make an ftp connection to a machine on the protected network, it is OK but if I do a dir then it hangs and takes maybe 30 seconds to list a dozen files. I'm not alone, other people on the mpd-users mailing list have the same problems. My gut-feel tells me it is something to do with fragmentation but I don't know how to make XP tell me what the errors are. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mouse and hdd problems with GA-7VT600 (KT600/VT8237)
Hi, I've changed my desktop MB from a (Gigabyte) GA-VA (KT400/VT8235) to a GA-VT600 1394 (KT400/VT8237) ( http://tw.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-7VT600%2013 94.htm ). I've swaped the HDD and the system came up with no problem except: 1. Mouse: I have tried an A4 Tech optical mouse (which was working fine with the old MB) and a Genius NetScroll+, both PS/2, but none seems to be working(e.g. the cursor just jump or doesn't move). I'll try tomorrow with a serial mouse. I don't know if it is related with the VT8235. Getting it to work is more urgent to me that the second issue. 2. The HDD is in PIO4 mode (I'm using a parallel ATA Seagate HDD, not an S-ATA). To my surprise the sound and network are working ok. I've google'd and found the following: 1. kern/55926 [patch] which was not committed (reason: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2003-August/00 29 29.h tml). 2. The NetBSD folks seems to have integrated support for the VT8235 (both ATA and SATA): http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/pciide.c (changes committed in rev. 199, rev. 197, rev. 196) If anyone has a hint on those .

Upgrade HELP !?!?!??! desperate !?!?!
hello, I just finished upgrading a freebsd 4.6 machine to the newest RELEASE using CVSUP and the whole buildworld procedure. the compiling went ok ..and the system is up ,,,however there are a few problems... 1. for whatever reason the machine doesnt seem to read /etc/rc.conf anymore for all the startup options..like network settings and other stuff ... 2. as well as the other stuff like apache mysql dont startup from boot anymore. I can start mysql manually but apache is giving me an error saying shared library libmm.so.12 can not be found. when i ran mergemaster after all the compiling and i chose to NOT have rc.conf over written and chose to keep my original ..so i dont see why the machine isnt reading the file any help IS GREATLY appreciated !! -- Brent Bailey CCNA Bmyster LLC Computer Networking and Webhosting Network Engineer, Webmaster, President http://www.bmyster.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 207-247-8330 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How do I find out what ports/programs it depends on? And yes, I have RTFM, but I still have no clue. Most programs have a README which identifies any dependencies they might have. If a Linux package exists for the program (ie, such as an RPM), you could also look at that to gain an idea as to the dependencies. Beyond that, however, the problem lies in the fact that many people don't write particularly portable code, and you will need to resolve such issues by patching the program to work under FreeBSD. Adding to this: try 'gmake' instead of 'make'. Most programs written for Linux assume the GNU version of make which is different from BSD make. gmake is in the ports collection, and if you installed some ports it is quite likely you already have it as a (build) dependency. I have the most problems with the configure scripts. They keep telling me that something is missing, but either I don't know where to look for it, or I have it already installed and don't know why the script doesn't find it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
make optimizations

I'm running on an Athlon processor and I currently have CPUTYPE = k7 in my /etc/make.conf. Is this generally considered a good thing, bad thing or an indifferent thing?

Problems with VIA vr device/driver (possibly O/T)
Has anyone had any issues with the vr device driver, or the VIA Rhine ethernet adapter? I recently built an Internet gateway box using FreeBSD 4.8-REL. I used a 3Com 3C905C-TX board for the internal interface, and used the internal vr interface for the external interface (to the cable modem). I have noted in the past that sometimes this device has issues, particularly under load. When I was using this ITX board as an X terminal, sometimes it would hang for a few seconds. Eventually, it would work - but it could be a bit annoying. I wasn't sure if it was a problem with the chip, or just the CPU load. The little CPU's on these boards aren't screamers by any means. Now, I have noticed that the interface is stable when using SSH alone, but if I try to window X applications through it, it will randomly hang both itself AND the cable modem. I have a COM21 cable modem, and when I come home (after losing connectivity) I find it has locked up, and it seems to believe that there is no LAN cable attached (which there is). That is why I'm posting from a hotmail account. My connection home is dead again... I suspect the PHY is crapping out under load, leading the cable modem to believe it is disconnected, then coming back up with a load of data in its buffers, blasting the poor cable modem into oblivion. I can't tell if this is just a lousy chip, a defective mainboard, or what. It only occurs when the interface is under a fair outbound load. I've downloaded huge files (ISO images) with no problems, but uploads cause trouble. I somehow doubt this is a FreeBSD problem, so I'm going to note it as off-topic, but I'd be curious to hear about other people's experiences with this device. Either way, I've already got a dual PCI riser in this chassis, so I'm going to stuff another 3Com card in to replace the onboard LAN port.

Packages - which can be installed with sysinstall, pkg_add, and likely other ways I'm not familiar with - are *applications compiled elsewhere* that you simply are installing into the appropriate places in FreeBSD's directory system. Ports - what you use when you run portupgrade or cd into /usr/ports/$SOMEPORT and type make install clean - are a scripted/automated system for downloading *source code*, then compiling it (normally with gcc) *on your computer* before it is installed. So using cvsup to update the port skeleton - the instructions for downloading the source code and compiling the port for Application Foo on your computer - has nothing to do with fetching the package for Application Foo that has already been compiled somewhere else. What do you use? /stand/sysinstall? That will install packages or the ports *system*, which you can then update with cvsup, and use by running portupgrade or cd'ing to a port's directory and typing make install clean.

I'm under the impression that packages are only built/provided for release versions of FreeBSD. Updating ports tells your system to look for updated source code (*not* packages) somewhere on the Net - not necessarily ftp.freebsd.org - and/or gives your system new instructions for building the application once the source code has been downloaded. It has nothing to do with any precompiled applications that may be available at ftp.freebsd.org or elsewhere (such as the location for the pre-compiled OpenOffice binary). Let's use an actual example, the one that started this discussion, OpenOffice. It can be installed as a pre-compiled package by typing # pkg_add http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/stable/openoffice-1.1RC4.tgz assuming you're running FreeBSD 4.x (you could also download the package to $SOMEDIR, then pkg_add $SOMEDIR/openoffice-1.1RC4.tgz), or you can # cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-devel # make install clean or # portupgrade -N /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-devel and watch as the source downloads and your computer compiles and installs it. (And watch, and watch Downloading and compiling OpenOffice takes a looong time, which is why many people will prefer the quicker installation afforded by the 77MB precompiled package.)

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.

Is Port Based Routing Possible?
Is there a way to route traffic based on port? Basically, I want to have all traffic on port 8080 use the rl0 interface for its gateway and all other traffic use dc0. Here is a diagram of my network. Internet | Public IP | ADSL Modem/Router 192.168.10.1 | dc0 192.168.10.2 | FBSD 4.8 - rl0 | 192.168.100.2 dc1 | | 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.2Neighbor's AP | | Internal LAN Public IP | | 192.168.1.3 Internet Media Server I'm trying to serve a small video stream via my neighbor's faster Internet connection and keep all of my other traffic on my Internet connection. I'm trying to get the traffic to flow like this: 1.Media players connect to the public IP on the neighbor's AP (Linksys) on port 8080. 2.Neighbor's AP does NAT and forwards traffic on port 8080 to rl0 (192.168.100.2). I would like to forward to the media server at 192.168.1.3 but the Linksys won't allow me to set NAT to forward to a different subnet. 3.The rl0 interface on my FBSD box is running NAT as well. I did this because a simple ipfw fwd rule left the destination address as 192.168.100.2 and so my server at 192.168.1.3 ignored the packets as it was not the destination. natd with a 'redirect' switch and the corresponding 'divert' rule changes the destination address to 192.168.1.3. 4.The server receives the syn packet and sends a syn/ack to establish a connection. I want to have this packet return on the same path. However the default gateway for the media server is 192.168.1.2. Then because the default gateway for the FBSD box is 192.168.10.1 (my Internet connection), the packet goes out 192.168.10.2 and out through my own ISP. Thus the connection never gets established. I can get traffic to flow the way I want by adding a static route on the FBSD box. For example, if a media player at 1.2.3.4 initiates a connection from the Internet and do route add -host 1.2.3.4 192.168.100.1 then the connection flows. However this is not practical in normal everyday usage when I don't know what IPs will connect. Is what I want possible and if so, what should I read to learn more?

savemail panic
majordomo is the only thing effected. I can send mail to postmaster and root. majordomo was working on this system when it was 4.7 (now 4.9).

Re: Using poptop....
It's really pretty easy. I beat my head on the wall about a year ago, so I
don't recall where all the docs are, but this is what my configs look like:
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
pptp:
set timeout 0
set dial
set login
set ifaddr {IP address of internal interface} {IP address range
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx}
set server /var/run/pptp_ppp_%d 0700
enable mschapv2 mppe # --- these two lines enable encryption
set mppe * *#---
enable chap
disable pap
disable utmp
disable passwdauth
enable proxy
accept dns
set dns 192.168.x.x
set nbns 192.168.x.x
/usr/local/etc/pptpd.conf:
option /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
localip {IP address of internal interface}
remoteip {IP address range xxx.xxx.xxx.2-255}
pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid
You'll have to use the ppp.secret password file or a radius server (that's a
whole other story). Other than that, this works like a champ, and is
encrypted. Just for a point of clarification, omit the {} I added those
for readability.
Hope that helps.
