Wireless setups

2003-10-18 Thread Luke Kearney
Hi There,
I have recently installed 4.8R on my IBM Thinkpad notebook which
fortunately includes a wireless NIC. The nic is recognised as wi0 for
which I am grateful as Linux did not recognise the card first time
around. Now I often move between networks and having to set the wepkey
and ssid etc etc by hand will become very tiresome very quickly. I was
wondering if any one can point me in the direction of a better way to
set these. I am guessing that this will still have to be done after the
boot but what do people use ?

I was able to get the interface up and ping other hosts so no problems
there but can this NIC be set for dhcp rather than having to go through
the grief of setting everything manually ?

Any pointers or links to howto are much appreciated. 

Thanks in Advance

LukeK

Odd network interface (PCMCIA) problem; going insane

2003-10-18 Thread Heath Volmer
Hello

The problem: My PCMCIA network interface (Linksys PCM100) doesn't seems to
work - SORT OF.  This is odd.  I can get online okay, use Mozilla to browse
the web, but when I fire up sshd or apache or any other kind of server they
don't seem to be accessible from the machines sitting right next to it on
the desk.

The BSD machine is @ 10.0.0.3, have a mac @ .2, XP @ .4.

Subnets are fine.

I can't ssh, telnet, ftp or even ping!! .3 from .2 or .4.

When I ping FROM .3 to any another, I get some strange dup responses.  This
only happens on this machine.

I CAN ping to .3 from .3.  This makes sense.

Have tried direct x-over cable connection between machines.  No good.

Have removed card and installed in XP machine.  Good.

Have reinstalled FBSD.  No luck.

In order to confirm that the machine is okay, I reloaded win2K clean over
the BSD.  Good!

The PCM100 is listed in the pccard.conf file (I think that's it's name.)  I
do not see any reference to it in dmesg.

I swear this worked at one point.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Heath Volmer

I have to agree.  I use Evo, and it's pretty full-featured.  Other than
Evo, there isn't a GNOME 2 PIM that I'm aware of.  The is gnomepim, but
it is still GNOME-1.4.x based.

Correct.  You need -CURRENT to get good Bluetooth support.  5.1-RELEASE
has it, but it recently got an overhaul in -CURRENT.  Evo does support
Palm Pilot sync as well via quite a few media.

Re: IPSEC/NAT

2003-10-18 Thread Luke Kearney
The short answer to your question is yes. I don't use NATD I use IPNAT
but I am sure the theories are the same. I found that the challenge was
to get the port forwarding right. It also makes using dynamic addresses
internally a challenge but I cheated and used statics instead. 

Then again after reading your mail again I am not sure that I completely
understand what type of tunnel you are wanting to use. If it is a cisco
vpn client you are using then nothing really special needs to be done
except to ensure that the return traffic gets redirected properly. If it
is the M$ PPTP implementation that is a bit more tricky as you need to
ensure that you get inbound traffic on 1723 redirected to your internal
machine. If your company uses a neat IPSec implementation then it should
be possible with the co-operation of your companies firewall admin to
set up the gateway to have an IPSec tunnel to the office and all packets
destined for company's network ie 10.0.10.0 routed along the gif
interface ( read man gif ) and all other traffic via the normal net.

Evolution is the most advanced. KDE has a Mail client/PIM that
is supposed to be about as good. (I expect that this will be
very nice)

Blue tooth is a kernel function.  I don't know what the status
of Blue tooth is under FreeBSD, but you need 2.6.x under Linux,
so I would assume that you need FreeBSD 5.x to use Blue tooth.

What's that? you mount a mirror onto /, /var, and so on. Your old
("single plex") vinum volumes have to be unmounted to mount the newly
made mirror. I have the feeling you don't quite get the terminology.
You may need to go into SU mode at the console.
I wasn't aware the volumes had to be umounted to add additional plexes

and subdisk both on drive "beta" exhibit the exact same behavior: 
everything is fine until the system is rebooted and the volume crashes. 
Why?

This is identical to what your first disk has?
Completely identical. I can start the addition plexes without a 
problem, and they run perfectly. Only on reboot does everything come 
crashing down (excuse the pun ;-)

Why are you saving the same config over again? This might be the 
problem
having a stale config. Vinum config goes on your disk. You put it up
once (perhaps through the vinum prompt which is designed for it) then
leave it.

Only in this case did I use saveconfig each time. You can see I really 
don't understand Vinum's behavior all that well; I was just trying 
something hoping it would work. In either case the saved configuration 
was fine, according to dumpconfig's output.

You need to have a consistent system in order to build world: you

missing.

No, you told cvsup to delete your ports collection (the ports tree is
not branched).  This is also explained in the handbook.

5406 warnings during buildworld & other q's

2003-10-18 Thread David Carter-Hitchin
Hi Free BSDers,

Sorry about my question overload here.

I've just successfully cvsup'd to -STABLE (I think), done a buildworld,
installworld and rebuilt the kernel.  Everything seemed to go generally ok
but I had a few observations/questions:

a) Firstly I had difficulty finding much information about the specific
tag I should use in the "tag=" line in the cvsup file.  I can't remember
accurately all the places I looked, but it included the handbook, faq, the
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and Greg Lehey's book (3rd ed.).  
The one place I didn't look was on the website, but I couldn't do that as
after a unsuccessful buildworld (with cvsup "tag=."), my web browser gave
up working at all and just coredumped.

Can someone clarify where definitive and up to date information regards
the tag entries can be found?  In the end I plumped for RELENG_4 (as
recommended by the stable-supfile), I've ended up with 4.9-RC - is that a
stable version?  I was a bit concerned to see someone else on this list
mentioned RELENG_4_8, which I understood was the STABLE version so it
would be cool to have clarification.


b) The first run of buildworld failed as vgrind was not on my system. I
hunted down vgrind under /usr/src/usr.bin, built that and ran buildworld
successfully a second time.  


c) buildworld generated 5406 warnings.  Some examples are:

yppasswdd_server.o(.text+0xba9): warning: mktemp() possibly used
unsafely; consider using mkstemp()

/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/as/i386-freebsd/../../../../../contrib/binutils/
include/opcode/i386.h:1094:
warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type

I have uploaded the logs to:

http://www.carter-hitchin.clara.co.uk/logs/buildworld.log.gz
http://www.carter-hitchin.clara.co.uk/logs/installworld.log.gz

Are these warnings normal?  Should I run buildworld again?  I should note
here that I was previously running 4.2


d) installworld failed the first time as the user 'smmsp' didn't
exist.  I dutifully followed the advice given in UPGRADE by building
and running mergemaster.  Second run of installworld also failed - at
mergemaster, saying "Don't know how to build mergemaster.sh".  I'm not
sure if I did the right thing, but copying  /usr/sbin/mergemaster to the
source directory /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster and renaming it to
mergemaster.sh, fixed the problem.  Can anyone comment on this?


e) 'cvsup -g -L2 ports-supfile' now generates an error:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libm.so.2: Undefined symbol "__stderrp"

I checked the timestamp on both ld-elf.so.1 and libm.so.2 and they were
built today - anyone know what might have caused this?  Do I need to
rebuild cvsup, if so how?

f) At some point (I think after doing a cvsup with "tag=RELENG_4" I lost
all my ports files - the only files I can see under /usr/ports/*/* are
Readme.html's.  Is that a bug?  Luckily I kept a copy of my ports tree so
I'll use that until I can figure out e) above.

? getopt_long(), iopl() and ioperm() ?

2003-10-18 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi there, 
 
I'm hacking at a piece of code that I want to turn into a port. It's from
Linux and uses libpci and some other 'strange' functions. 
While I think that I've managed to modify the libpci port to install the
required lib, I'm more or less lost at getopt_long() which I 
assume is in the libgnugetopt port. However, for some reason, even if I
include it explicitly (#include "/usr/local/include/getopt.h"), I 
run into problems. Please note that I'm not a programmer at all, so it's
very much hacking along, so I may look for someone patient 
to bear with me ;-) But I am willing to learn. 
 
A similar story applies to the iopl() and the ioperm() functions which are
used in a part of the code which I personally don't require 
but others may (if this ever reaches port status which I hope it does ;-)).
For these functions, I don't even know how to replace 
them. 
 
Well, I think there still is some bug in the configure script that goes with
it, but basically that's the story for the time being. Hints 
are very much so appreciated, though I may need some time to think them over
and apply them due to my limited programming 
abilities. 
 
Thanks a lot for reading this far, 
 
all the best, 
 
Peter. 
 
PS: Please be so kind and keep me Cc:'ed on this matter, it helps me to note
replies earlier and ensures a slightly more timely

'pkg_version -v' does NOT depend on an up-to-date INDEX.

Again, 'pkg_version -v' works just fine without an updated INDEX. I've done it
hundreds of times; it always works.

PPP dialin server (-direct) won't route traffic - sets incorrect gateway on PC

2003-10-18 Thread Andrew Thomas
I'm trying allow a dialin connection to my 4.8-STABLE
box (although I've tried with my 5.1-CURRENT box with
the same results) via userland ppp.

The modem can connect just fine and I can login to the
machine.  I then start ppp.  However, no matter how I
setup ppp, I cannot get the routing to work.  Yes, the
server side HAS 'gateway_enable="YES"' in rc.conf (the
machine routes for my network already).

I started with an old ppp config file that used to work.
It doesn't anymore.  So, I started following the handbook
pages - even verbatim.  But, the PC side always ends up
with something similar to the following:

--
Active Routes:

--

Notice that there is no 'next hop' (that is always the case,
not matter what ppp.conf looks like).  The gateway address is
*always* the PC address, not the server.  How can the packets
go anywhere with settings like that?  It feels like there's a
bug in ppp where it sends the wrong address to the PC for what
its gateway will be.

Am I missing something?  I've done this before - it was
working fine up until early-ish last year - and it was
a piece of cake.  Now though, I can't get it to work to
save my life.

Can anyone help?  It would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

If you're using the firebird port and system compiler then it builds
correctly on a clean FreeBSD system.  If you're seeing errors using
the port and system compiler, check that you have followed all the
directions in UPDATING.

Also check that you're not using weirdo CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS settings (it's
not clear from the output you included, but it looks like you might
be).  If you tell g++ to be pickier about the code it accepts, and
then it gives errors from non-conforming code, you've only got
yourself to blame :-)

If you're not using the port or not using the system compiler, and you
are using default compiler flags, you're probably seeing the error
because newer versions of gcc are much stricter in the code they will
accept as valid.  Talk to the firebird developers about fixing the
bugs in their code.

2003-10-18 Thread Tom Servo
Hey-
I am trying to run an IRC file server inside my network that is protected by
a FreeBSD box that is running natd.  I am running natd with the following
options to enable IP forwarding to allow people to request files from my
file server (192.168.0.101):

/sbin/natd -f /etc/natd.conf -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.101:-7000
-7000 -n ep1

Unfortunately, it appears that the natd box is not forwarding the incoming
request packets correctly.  Can anyone provide some insight on this?  Thanks
in advance.

If something is missing, you sould look at the ports tree (/usr/ports) and
install it, maybe you could need to modifiy the paths for the configure script
of the dependencies (check ./configure --help of the soure that you want to

Nothing to do with the supfile.

cvsup is looking to resolve its *own* IP address.

Hi Patrick,

Bearing that in mind, note that it's not that hard to become a FreeBSD

Almost every time I see a reboot problem as you describe it is

Depends on the FreeBSD version you're trying.

You might just be short on memory, though; a system should still be
able to run in less memory that, but it may need more to install.  I'd
expect it to get further than that point, though.

Hello!

I'm considering upgrading from Linux to FreeBSD in my home machine. I

Nice participle (gerund?) in that first sentence :-)

security upgrades) or they continue to be updated with new versions of

What are the updates policies of the ports collections on the other

TIA.

 

The ports tree is the ports tree  there's no branch.  It's
tagged -CURRENT in the CVS system, so if you're running
-STABLE, for example, you'd have to have seperate supfiles
for source and ports (but it's no problem, ready to configure
examples are all in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/).
My advice would be to install what you want from ports,
cvsup the new tree periodically (say monthly or so) and
use 'portupgrade' (from the ports tree) to keep the ports
up to date.
Dru Lavigne has a great article on portupgrade at
onlamp.com:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html

I'd also advise that if you do go this route, start
portupgrade within a couple of months after you
move to FBSD.  I waited over a year for one server,
and it took a while to get that one straightened out
when I finally got around to 'portupgrade' on it. :-(

ports do not have any special relation to any particular branch of the
OS.  There's just ports, which gets continually updated with maybe the
occasional hiatus right before new releases when a set of packages is
produced to go onto the release CDs

Don't confuse ports; which is a framework of makefiles and other
supporting material that makes it trivially easy to download source,
compile and install any software; with packages; which are the compiled
output of ports gathered together in a handy-to-install tar-ball.

As complete a set of packages as possible is produced to go with each
OS release, and if there's time available on the package building
cluster, updated packages will be produced when possible.  Given the
parallel release tracks of 4.x and 5.x at the moment, there hasn't
been much time to produce as many package updates as usual.

The typical way of using ports is described very well in a series of
onlamp articles by Dru Lavigne:

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/07/FreeBSD_Basics.html
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/09/18/FreeBSD_Basics.html

but the canonical instructions are at:

'make index' and 'portsdb -U' update INDEX.  'portsdb -u' updates
INDEX.db.  INDEX is used by the base system ports utilities to handle

'pkg_version -v' and 'make search' are very useful, and depend on an
up-to-date INDEX file.

This is completely incorrect.  Building INDEX.db is for portversion.
INDEX has to be updated for pkg_version to see the updated versions of
the ports skeletons (in other words, if you don't rebuild it,
'pkg_version -v won't know that your ports have been updated).

It's not essential, but some utilities will work with outdated information.

Ports always give you the latest software for your FreeBSD box. You need
to cvsup them regularly, but that's all. After that you run the
everything you'll ever want to run from ports ;)

The -A switch doesn't help you here.  It still can't resolve the

Add IP the address to DNS -- or at least to /etc/hosts.

Depends on the FreeBSD version you're trying.

You might just be short on memory, though; a system should still be
able to run in less memory that, but it may need more to install.  I'd
expect it to get further than that point, though.

Are the client systems sending out packets at all?
You can use tcpdump(1) on the FreeBSD router to check.
If not, maybe they're not getting configured with a default route or
DNS server.

ports updates

2003-10-18 Thread jxz
Hello!

I'm considering upgrading from Linux to FreeBSD in my home machine. I
have some doubts concerning the ports collection:

I would use the 4.8-RELEASE branch. The ports are stalled (just
security upgrades) or they continue to be updated with new versions of
the softwares? 

What are the updates policies of the ports collections on the other
branches, where do I found more about it? 

TIA.

For two machines each capable of 2 serial ports (usually, but it's not that
obvious with modern mobos and/or server/19"/compact platforms), I'd connect
each sio0/com1 to other's sio1/com2 with null-modem cable, enable serial
console and getty at ttyd0.

For servers cluster, one of machines should be elected as comserver and
equipped with pultiport card, other's sio0's connected to its multiport, and
its own sio0 -- to sio1 somewhere.

each machine with remote console target then runs comserver. In the simplest
case of thw machines each conserver.cf would be like

-- 8< --
# name:path:baud:logfile:mark:break
LOGDIR=/var/log
com1:/dev/cuaa0:9600p:&:30ma
#
%%
# Access part
#

#allow: localhost woozle.rinet.ru host.domain.tld
refuse: 0.0.0.0/0
-- 8< --

conservers could also be cascaded, but that's another beast story ;-)

well, there are devices which do real _remote_ console job; I suppose you can
politely ask BCHosting if they can setup such remote console for you; it can
greatly simplify remote upgrades, for example. However, not any (read: rare)
non-rackmount mobo is able to redirect, say, BIOS output to com port, so that
you can't remotely tweak ACPI and/or memory timings...

Good colocation support is almost always great; if you have good hardware
support _in_addition_ to that, you can sleep much better ;-P

I have an 8 port serial Boca card here, which I have yet to get 
running.  How does comms/conserver-com work?  I couldn't determine 
that from the FAQ.  Does it need any hardware?  How does it monitor 
the serial console?  Do you connect two boxes together via their

Or does it just monitor the serial console and report back to a

I have one location which has only one box.  That box and the 
bandwidth is kindly donated by BCHosting.com, and hosts 
freebsddiary.org, freshports.org, etc.  It does about 45GB a month

Problems with latest version of VICE emulator

2003-10-18 Thread Cory Bajus
I have been unable to get the latest version of the
VICE Commodore emulator working (1.13 - built from the
ports tree).  The PET and Plus/4 emulator work, but
the C64 and C128 emulators just give me a screen full
of @'s and checkerboards.  Is VICE working for anyone,
or am I the only one crazy enough to be trying to run
it?  I have tried it on two different systems, one
RELENG_4_8 and a recent RELENG_4 system.  The last
version (1.12) worked fine for me.

Please cc: me on any replies as I am not subscribed to
the list.

Thanks in advance,

The Xfont library was installed by the new -libraryies. Then, you 
updated -server and it deleted them. The new -server didn't reinstall 
them. So, you have to reinstall -libraries to get Xfont back. 

The problem came about because Xfont was moved from one piece of XFree86 
to the other. This is one type of upgrade that portupgrade can't handle 
automatically. If you had deleted -server before you ran portupgrade 
with -arR, you probably wouldn't have had any problems.

There is another problem with gettext. You have to force rebuild the 
codes that have it as a dependancy.

Thanks.  That fixed it.

I'm not sure, though, how "libraries' was deleted.  Here's what how I
did the ports upgrade, after building the portupgrade port:

1. cvsup ./ports-supfile (stock ports-supfile pointing to
cvsup3.freebsd.org)
2. make index && make readmes
3. portsdb -Uu
4. portsversion -l "<"
5. pkgdb -F (portsversion found stale ORBit; I went with pkgdb default
responses)
6. portupgrade -aRr

Prior to this, I'd installed the lynx port and the epiphany port, which,
of course, brought in Mozilla, XFree86 and Gnome2. Did that not install
the libaries port?

Don't know about this, probably the ipfw program doesn't talk correctly
to the kernel, and you should rebuild (both or one of) your world and
kernel but

This is correct and OK, since you don't have a connection established at
boot-time. After you have connected, the rule will get active just as
you expect.

Dear list:
Has anyone on the list had experience with using Freevrrpd (available in

Google has only brought up one reference which is useful about the config
but have found nothing about this in the archives.

Looking for a good way to switch main FBSD server/router to a backup to
handle the service in the event of a crash. Freevrrpd claims to be able to
do that.

Thanks for any feedback at all.

pkg_info will provide most, if not all, of that information, provided you
feed it the right command line options.

The word "need" isn't really accurate there; burncd(8) works fine with
an ATAPI drive on a stock kernel.

Re: FreeBSD 5.1 USB Keyboard support

2003-10-18 Thread Matthew Faircliff
Hello, 

I had the same problem and solved it with an rc.d script:



#!/bin/sh
#Script to enable usb keyboard if attached
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -e /dev/kbd1  ]; then
/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -r 250.38 -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/conso
le 2>&1 > /dev/null && echo -n ' usbkbd' 
fi
;;
stop)
if [ -e /dev/kbd1  ]; then
/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -r 250.38 -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/conso
le 2>&1 > /dev/null && echo -n ' usbkbd' 
fi  
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
exit 64
;;
esac



Basically, when initialising the system, this script checks to see if /dev/kbd1 
exists, if so swops control to it, if not, nudda.

Hope this helps.

Subject: 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. As the GENERIC had it.

uhci0:  port 0xc400-0xc41f irq 10 at device 16.0 on pci0
usb0:  on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhub1: Texas Instruments TUSB2046 hub, class 9/0, rev 1.10/1.25, addr 2
uhub1: 4 ports with 4 removable, bus powered
ukbd0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/17.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1
kbd1 at ukbd0
ums0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/17.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1
ums0: 7 buttons and Z dir.
ugen0: Logitech Camera, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 4
ugen1: vendor 0x0f4d product 0x1000, rev 1.10/4.01, addr 5
ulpt0: hp deskjet 5550, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 6, iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
uhci1:  port 0xc800-0xc81f irq 11 at device 16.1 on pci0
usb1:  on uhci1
usb1: USB revision 1.0
uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhci2:  port 0xcc00-0xcc1f irq 7 at device 16.2 on pci0
usb2:  on uhci2
usb2: USB revision 1.0
uhub3: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub3: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered

This is what I found searching through Google that should work: 
kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0 
This works but I have to log through ssh from another comp and write that command and 
sometimes it adds a  letter that I just had written. That tends to be anyoing. And it 
also doesnt start so that I can choose at the boot prompt.

Another thing I found was to put the following into usbd.conf 
device "USB Keyboard" 
devname "ukbd0" 
attach "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null" 
detach "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"

This doesnt work at all for me nothing happens att all.

Is there a way to add USB keyboard support when FreeBSD is running in singelusermode 
so that I have a chance of installing new kernels and upgrade the system right now I 
plug in an old PS/2 keyboard?

My motherboard is Abit KD7-S with VIA KT400 and VT8235 chipset and the keyboard is 
Logitech Cordles Desktop Comfort.

Thanks in Advance 
Peter

Invalid bootstrap :-(((

2003-10-18 Thread Igor A. Belyaev
Hello freebsd-questions!

I (or you!?) have a problem! I can't install FreeBSD 5.1 on the
AlphaServer 4100. The issue is bootstrap failure in the floppy-image
file KRNL.FLP 
(ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/5.1-RELEASE/floppies/kern.flp).
Krnl.flp for FreeBSD 4.8 (alpha) is good.
Please, correct this image.

If your kernel and userland in sync?  If not, try building world *and*
kernel from the same sources and installing both, as described in the
/usr/src/UPDATING file.

If it's IDE, then you need to add;

device  atapicam

into the kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel.
Then use (after a reboot) 'camcontrol devlist' to see if the CDRW drive
is recognised.

Have you had a look at the handbook?

ipfw routing

2003-10-18 Thread Petre Bandac
hello

I have to use a freebsd machine as a gateway router; I did manage to make natd 
work, but now I have also a subnet routed to the machine

I'm looking for the ipfw command similar to iptables' -A FORWARD -d $subnet/
$mask -j ACCEPT

also, what's the difference between ipfw add pass and ipfw add forward ?

thanks,

petre
