Re: MySQL 4.0.16 + PHP 4.3.4

2003-12-16 Thread The Bean
Thank you Jez! This was still a bit of a battle . . . until I grasped
that mod_php was expecting Apache to have been build from a port! Or,
at least it was expecting Apache's files to be located thus. So I killed
my existing Apache, installed a new one from a port, and that's that.
I hate the GNU layout but it's nothing some symbolic links can't handle.

Thanks again,
The Bean

 I believe you can force the mod_php4 port to install for apache2 using
 'WITH_APACHE2'.  Having said this though last time I looked the mod_php4
 port automatically detects what version of apache you're running so you
 don't even need to use WITH_APACHE2.
 
 Here it is - in /usr/ports/lang/php4/Makefile (which the mod_php4 make
 process uses):
 
 .if exists(${LOCALBASE}/include/apache2/apr.h)
 WITH_APACHE2= yes

There is no real need to do this.

If you want to write dump after dump onto a tape in the one session use the 
/dev/nsa0 device.  This device is the same as /dev/sa0 but doesnt rewind 
between sessions.  So the tape will be ready for the next dump automatically.  

If you are using the tape to archive data and want to write multiple dumps to 
tape over different sessions then you can position the tape drive to the end 
of the tape by using the mt eom command.  

Make sure that you note what sessions are on the tape so that you can use the 
mt fsf command to get the data off later.  Remember that mt fsf x goes 
forward x files, it doesnt go to x file.

As with everything important try it out first.  Nothing is worse than being 
bitten on the glaven by your own laziness with the hurting and the 
embarassment and the oy.

bash bug or something else?

2003-12-16 Thread hugle
Hello all.
I have a little problem in here.
Actulay i think, that bash doesn't caount good, look:

cat bin/users | wc -l
1877
so the file contains 1877 lines

cat bin/users:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ipfw -q delete 2001 /dev/null 21 
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2001 count ip from 192.168.0.1 to not me in via fxp0 /dev/null 21 

/sbin/ipfw -q delete 2002 /dev/null 21 
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2002 count ip from not me to 192.168.0.1 out via fxp0 /dev/null 
21 
/sbin/ipfw -q delete 2003 /dev/null 21 
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2003 count ip from 192.168.0.111 to not me in via fxp0 /dev/null 
21 
/sbin/ipfw -q delete 2004 /dev/null 21 
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2004 count ip from not me to 192.168.0.111 out via fxp0 /dev/null 
21 
*

*



/sbin/ipfw -q add 2935 count ip from 192.168.5.63 to not me in via fxp0 /dev/null 
21 
/sbin/ipfw -q delete 2936 /dev/null 21 
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2936 count ip from not me to 192.168.5.63 out via fxp0 /dev/null 
21 
/sbin/ipfw -q delete 2937 /dev/null 21 
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2937 count ip from 192.168.5.99 to not me in via fxp0 /dev/null 
21 
/sbin/ipfw -q delete 2938 /dev/null 21 
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2938 count ip from not me to 192.168.5.99 out via fxp0 /dev/null 
21 

so I should have 938 rules in my firewall.
938 * 2=1876 + 1 = 1877 lines in the script (1 rule for delete rule
and one for add rule + rule at the top '#!/bin/sh')

but when adding this rules to the ipfw ruleset i have:
ipfw show 2000-2938 | wc -l
 809

so somehere my 938-809=129 rules had just gone somewhere.
I'm using bash in here.. could that be a bug in bash ?
bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i386-portbld-freebsd4.9)

btw, when i look into ipfw and can't find some rules in it..
for example there goes
rule nr 2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2008 so i have no rule with number
2006 and 2007 but they exist in my script.

after running this script other time i got
ipfw show 2000-2938 | wc -l
 814
one more time :

ipfw show 2000-2938 | wc -l
 836

But I have not changed anything in my script.

Re: Windows client - internet connection sharing

 Is it possible to set up a freebsd server connected to an
 ADSL line to provide internet access via LAN to a number of
 Windows clients. I don't know where to start. Any
 information in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, absolutely.  However, there are such a huge number of variations
on possible ways of doing that that it's impossible to describe
everything you'ld need to know in a simple e-mail.

Lets look at a few questions you'ld need to answer:

 1) ADSL router or modem?

This is all about how you interface your FreeBSD system to ADSL --
the basic choice is between a router: a standalone unit which you
plug the phone line into one side of, and an ethernet cable into
the other -- or a modem: this is a device that plugs into a serial
or USB port on your FreeBSD box.

Routers will work entirely independently of your FreeBSD machine.
Since your connection to them is via ethernet, there's practically
no compatibility problems.  Depending on how much money you spend,
your can get routers which provide packet filtering, network and
port address translation, DNS, DHCP and various other capabilities
-- although if you go to the expense of buying a really capable
router there's not much left to do for your FreeBSD box.

Modems are the other end of this scale: you need to find a device
for which appropriate drivers are available under FreeBSD.  Once
you've got the modem connected up, you'll need to use the attached
FreeBSD box to provide appropriate functionality to make a
practicable ADSL connection.  This includes running PPPoA or PPPoE
(A = ATM, E = Ethernet: all ADSL in the UK is PPPoA, other
countries do things differently) to establish networking into your
service provider.  You would use the standard FreeBSD stuff to do
NAT and firewall packet filtering, and you can install DHCP
servers and so forth.  Effectively the FreeBSD box + modem takes
the place of the standalone router above.

 2) What sort of address space do you want to have assigned to you
from your ISP?  The cheapest ADSL accounts give you a single
Internet-routable IP number, usually assigned via DHCP.  There can
be an implicit assumption that you've basically got just one
machine you want to have net access, although this is becoming
less common nowadays.  Lots of ISPs will give you two addresses:
this is intended to give you an address for the router box, plus
an address for a real PC.  Next step up is to get that one or two
addresses permanently assigned to you.  Beyond that, you can get a
routed connection -- you get a small net block permanently assigned
to you, as well as the single IP used for the WAN side of your
router.  This enables you to set up a 'DMZ' network, and for
instance have several servers visible on the Internet.  Many ISPs
will have local policies forbidding you from running servers of
various sorts, mostly as a way of protecting the ISP from the
awful consequences of allowing Windoze machines out on the open
Internet in the hands of the clueless.

 3) A consequential decision related to the above: do you want some or
all of your Windows (or other) LAN machines to have Internet
routable addresses or to run Internet visible services?  There's
several ways of doing this:

DMZ network -- classic firewall design.  Here the Internet
accessible machines are kept on a separate small sub-net, and you
have a second packet-filtering router (generally a machine with a
couple of network cards, running natd and ipfw or similar) between
that and your private internal network.

Packet filtering bridge -- similar to the above, except that the
DMZ is and the internal private stuff are now technically on the
same subnet, and your packet filter serves to separate public and
private parts of the subnet.  This is a much harder setup to get
working effectively and securely than either of the other two, so
use only as a last resort.

NAT address proxying -- your NAT gateway has one or more IP
addresses assigned and the NAT gateway knows how to forward
incoming connections to an internal server.  Or you run proxy
servers on the Internet visible addresses which will accept
incoming connections and relay them to the real servers on the
internal network.  Taken to the extreme, you could use this sort
of setup to do load balancing and other fancy networking tricks,
but you'ld probably have to spend $$$ to by the right sort of
hardware load balancing kit needed.

 4) From the point of view of the private side of your network, the
FreeBSD box should minimally appear as the default gateway to the
Internet.  You can assign IP addresses and other configuration
parameters to each machine manually or you can run various 

narrowed down but still not working (Re: Having problems with 'pcm' and on-board Crystal Sound)

2003-12-16 Thread pseniura

Thank you for helping.  I'm getting this problem narrowed down.  I'm using the custom 
kernel w/o any sound drivers compiled-in.

Having loader.conf do both (and only these):
snd_csa_load=YES
snd_pcm_load=YES
dmesg shows these getting loaded ahead of the kernel booting, but the sound chips do 
not get detected at all
e.g. those unknown WSS/SB lines in dmesg I included in my previous e-mail.

When I have loader.conf do snd_driver_load=YES, I see that 'mss' is saying 0x530 is 
busy while booting (I know about the old-style 4-bytes-before i/o port address it is 
trying to find), but later on we see 'pcm' can detect the sound chips.
At this time 'cat /dev/sndstat' shows:

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: CS423x-PCI at io 0x534 irq 11 drq 1:0 bufsz 4096 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex 
default)

which agrees with IBM's specs for this model 300PL.
I then use the 'play' app to test this with a .wav file (say, one that SDL installs), 
and we get the msg on the console:

pcm0:play:0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead


Okay at least I know what to put into loader.conf now:
snd_mss_load=YES
snd_pcm_load=YES
'cat /dev/sndstat' still shows the same info as above.
But the console also shows the timeout problem each  every time something wants to 
play thru it.

There is no man page for mss, but the man for pcm suggests that these particular 
Crystal Audio chips are directly supported, and now it seems I need mss also to get 
the hooks in right.

OSS works with the same 'play' app and SDL .wav file, so I'm quite sure we have a 
problem in mss/pcm somewhere.

I'm not afraid of hacking some code if someone can give me some hints.  ;)
I really appreciate it.

Transparent filtering and ipfilter

2003-12-16 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: 16 dec 2003

I'm  interested in configuring Filtering Bridges (as described in the Alex
Dupre howto) using 4.9-RELEASE.

I'd like to know:

 - Filtering bridges is supported with ipfilter?
 - ipfilter is more portable, but what are its limits with bridges?
 - What about adv/disav of ipfilter vs ipfw?

thanks in advance
Roberto

You also need to turn on ttyd0 in /etc/ttys:

Then send init a HUP.

 Stop and think about your question,  what is the purpose of raid?
 FBSD has no problem using an normal scsi hard drive as install
 target.
 Raid has very special purpose in life, and holding the operating
 system is not one of them.

I actually thought that the OS really should reside on a Raid array, so that
in the case of a disk failure your system doesn't fully crash and require a
reinstall.

Would I run into this same issue with a supported IDE raid card?

  Since this will be a mission critical server (mail server w/imap) we don't
want to lose any time because of drive failures.  The raid card is listed as
being supported at the site.

 
 Leaving the raid card in while installing FBSD on IDE drive should
 work also.
 You can also read the list of supported devices at www.freebsd.org
 maybe your card is not supported at all.
 
 Any how that is my option based on my experience, for what ever that
 is worth.

  If I understand your environment correctly, you are trying to use
  the scsi raid hard drive as the target to install FBSD on. I think
  FBSD can use that scsi raid device for data storage after FBSD is
  installed on an IDE hard drive. Just for an learning experience, I
  would add an IDE HD to the pc, remove the scsi card, and try
  installing FBSD again. After FBSD is installed on the IDE HD
 replace
  the scsi raid card and check the var/run/dmesg.boot file which
  contains a copy of all the probe messages from the booting process
  and look to see if FBSD found your scsi card.

   Hi,
  
 I am trying to install FreeBSD (have tried 4.9, and the 5.1
  ISO's)
   It
   hangs at:
   Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
  
   My hardware:
   Intel NA440BX MB, 512MB ram, dual PIII 350 processors
   Mylex Acceleraid 250(DAC960)
   Latest bios/firmware downloaded and installed on both MB and
 Raid
   card last
   week.
  
   ISO's downloaded last week as well.
  
   I know the raid card works, I had netware installed on the
 machine
   prior to
   moving it to new hardware.
  
   If there was an option to install unlisted drivers at the
 initial
   setup
   screen, where I am suppose to remove drivers that do not apply,
  then
   I might
   be able to continue on and get this installed.  I selected
 FreeBSD
   because
   it seemed to be abit more up to date with releases of other
  software
   we
   would be running (Sendmail 8.12.10, etc)
  
   Any suggestions where to begin troubleshooting the install?  I
 did
   download
   the latest drivers for the card as well, but all the install
   instructions
   I've found assume there is already a working FreeBSD system,
 which
  I
   do not

   (FWIW, Redhat 9 also is failing to install, it locks up loading

 This may not be exactly correct.  See the section 8
 man page for boot.
 (i.e. Do man boot.)  The source is in
 /usr/src/sys/boot/i386.
 

The information is there (boot(8)). Thank you for
reminding me that 10 minutes spent reading the whole
man page saves some hours of hair-pulling struggle.

 
 If I understand this and your previous emails on
 this subject,
 you began with this MBR partition/slice table
 arrangement:
 
   ad0s1  XP
   ad0s2  FreeBSD
 
 and everything worked fine.
 Then you changed the MBR partitions to:
 
   ad0s1  XP
   ad0s2  Debian swap
   ad0s3  Debian /
   ad0s4  FreeBSD
 
 and FreeBSD would not boot correctly because the
 file /etc/fstab,
 created during the initial FreeBSD installation
 process, still had
 /dev/ad0s2 where it now needed to have
 /dev/ad0s4 because you
 renumbered its MBR partition.  Then you fixed that
 and everything
 seemed to work fine until you decided to reuse the
 XP partition
 for more FreeBSD disk space.  So you changed your
 MBR partition
 table to:
 
   ad0s1  FreeBSD  (addtitional file system space)
   ad0s2  Debian swap
   ad0s3  Debian /
   ad0s4  FreeBSD  (the operating system)
 
 and FreeBSD would no longer boot.  This might be due
 to boot1
 confusion.  Each partition in the MBR has a flag
 byte and a type
 byte.  The 0x80 bit in the flag byte marks the
 partition as active.
 Normally at most one partition has the active bit
 set.
 A non-interactive MBR bootstrap program typically
 boots whichever
 partition has the active bit set.
 

I couldn't present it better. And yes, the problem was
due to order of partitions marked as bootable:

BOOTABLE ad0s1  FreeBSD  (not used)
 ad0s2  Debian swap
 ad0s3  Debian /
BOOTABLE ad0s4  FreeBSD  (the operating system)

Trying to boot ad0s1 failed of course.
At the promp:

 FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:

I did again the experiment:
1. marked ad0s1 as bootable
2. reboot
3. again the promt (from which the slice info is
missing ! that tricked me)

Supplying this solve the booting problem!
 |
vvv
boot: 0:ad(0,4,a)/kernel 

(Still pending: I have to see how can I make it find
the loader.conf also :)  )

 The FreeBSD boot1 program, the program loaded by the
 MBR bootstrap,
 is not hardwired with the number of the MBR
 partition in which it was
 installed (perhaps it ought to be).  
 Instead it uses
 the first MBR
 partition of FreeBSD type with the active bit set. 
 If no FreeBSD MBR
 partition has the active bit set, the boot1 program
 chooses the first
 FreeBSD MBR partition.  This normally works
 correctly even if you have
 more than one bootable FreeBSD MBR partition because
 the FreeBSD boot0
 MBR program normally rewrites the MBR record with
 the appropriate
 active bit set before it invokes the FreeBSD boot1
 program.
 
 You say that you are using Debian lilo for your MBR
 bootstrap program
 rather than the FreeBSD boot0 program.  

Totally new to FreeBSD boot process, so using Debian
LILO felt safer at that time.

 I don't know
 much about lilo,
 but I am guessing that it does not set the active
 partition in the MBR
 partition table before it boots a partition.  Then
 the boot1 program
 tries to load the boot2 program from ad0s1 instead
 of ad0s4.

I will try investigate the problem. Though I remember
reading something like this somewhere... I can't find
the source to mention it here.

 
 Workaround: you can make ad0s4 the only active
 FreeBSD partition with
 the fdisk program.  If nothing else changes that,
 boot1 will correctly
 boot ad0s4.

Yes, the workaround is correct. It was the solution.

Thank you for your explanations,
/Dorin.

PS. It is so nice to be able to compile again the
ports stuff on my machine :)
(ad0s1a = /usr/ports, ad0s1d=/usr/src ;) )

If I understand your question right there is no direct way. You could
set in sysinstall's Options menu another Release Name (e.g. 4.8-RELEASE-p8 for
stable or 5.1-RELEASE-p11, etc.) and rebuild after install, but that could lead to
problems esp. if you install a 5.x with 4.x sysinstall or the other way.

sharity-light/winxp issues

2003-12-16 Thread Redmond Militante
hi all
i almost have sharity-light working well enough to be able to map a windows share to 
my freebsd5.1 box.

the two machines are: 
1. Freebsd 5.1-RELEASE, DHCP but i'm using dyndns.org to map the address of 
'machine1.gotdns.org' to this machine, ipfilter enabled
2. Windows Xp pro, DHCP but i'm using dyndns.org to map the address of 
'machine2.gotdns.org' to this machine, windows xp built in firewall turned on

i'm able to successfully map a windows share on the winxp machine using

as root:
shlight //24.24.24.24/files /mnt/win -U username -P password

in order to do this i had to disable the built in windows firewall on the winxp box. 
is there a way to do this without having to disable the built in windows firewall 
entirely? or is there a way to set up a stateful connection from a specific ip address 
using the windows built in firewall? (i doubt it)

also - if you notice, i've had to use the 24.24.24.24 ip address in my line above. i 
have to use the ip address, and to put the following line in my /etc/hosts to get this 
working

24.24.24.24 machine2.gotdns.org machine2

i'd really like to use 'machine2' or machine2.gotnds.org' in my sharity-light command, 
but it doesn't seem to like it (says either machine name doesn't exist or is too 
long). this kind of defeats the purpose of using dyndns.org for dhcp mapping to a 
hostname. is there any way around this, so i don't have to edit my /etc/hosts every 
time my ip address changes?

any comments welcome...

fetch / wget problem

2003-12-16 Thread Toomas Aas
Hi!

I'm trying to write a script which gets a file from remote FTP server.

The FTP username contains dots and this cannot be changed.

There are two firewalls involved, one running on the same server where 
I'm doing this (ipfilter, using ipnat ftp proxy) and one between this 
server and the FTP server. The FTP server itself is in internal network 
using RFC1918 addresses and a port in firewall is being forwarded to 
this server.

I think that firewalls are configured correctly, because I can 
successfully get the file manually, using the 'ftp' command. 

However, when I try this command:

fetch ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext

I get an error message: 
fetch: ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext:
Host not found.

I suspect that fetch, seeing a dot in username, attempts to 'resolve' 
the entire URL, instead of just the part after @. Is there a known 
workaround to this?

I also tried wget, which succeeds to connect, but then, no matter what 
I do, insists on using passive mode. 

wget ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext
Connecting to server.mydomain.com[12.34.56.78]:2100... connected.
Logging in as user.name ... Logged in!
== SYST ... done.== PWD ... done.
== TYPE I ... done.  == CWD /directory ... done.
== PASV ... 
and then the process just hangs.

I suspect it would work if I could somehow tell wget to NOT use passive 
mode. I initially had FTP_PASSIVE_MODE environment variable set, but 
removing this didn't affect wget's behaviour.

Any ideas?

I've not noticed any ill effects as of yet with a group of smmsp. To be

Not tested, but you can load a kld from floppy using
Sysinstall/Configure/Load KLD (scroll down, it is the
last option). I don't know if this requires some
live system features to be already installed

 successfully get the file manually, using the 'ftp' command.

 However, when I try this command:

 fetch ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext

 I get an error message:
 fetch: ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext:
 Host not found.

 I suspect that fetch, seeing a dot in username, attempts to 'resolve'
 the entire URL, instead of just the part after @. Is there a known
 workaround to this?

 I also tried wget, which succeeds to connect, but then, no matter what
 I do, insists on using passive mode.

 wget ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext
 Connecting to server.mydomain.com[12.34.56.78]:2100... connected.
 Logging in as user.name ... Logged in!
 == SYST ... done.== PWD ... done.
 == TYPE I ... done.  == CWD /directory ... done.
 == PASV ...
 and then the process just hangs.

 I suspect it would work if I could somehow tell wget to NOT use passive
 mode. I initially had FTP_PASSIVE_MODE environment variable set, but
 removing this didn't affect wget's behaviour.

 Any ideas?

You may be able to do this with a .netrc in the user folder that's running
the script.

In .netrc, you'll have:

machine ftp server name
login loginname
password password

Then you can script it with the exact commands that you'd use to get the
file if you did it manually. For example, if you wanted /etc/test.sh and you
wanted to store it in /root/down and the remote site was ftp.foo.com you'd
do:

Contents of .netrc
---
machine ftp.foo.com
login joe.user
pass password
---

Then, in your script, let's say autofetch.sh you'd have:

#!/bin/sh
ftp  EOF
open ftp.foo.com
cd /etc/
lcd /root/down
ascii
get test.sh
bye
EOF

---

Now, you've got a scripted ftp session from within FreeBSD. As long as the
servernames in the script and .netrc match, ftp will use the info from
.netrc to make the connection. Of course, you'd want to make certain that
the .netrc file is NOT world readable. Perhaps not even group readable if
there are other users of the system.

Hope it helps.

Re: fetch / wget problem

2003-12-16 Thread Toomas Aas
Hi!

  fetch ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext
 
 Have you tried using %2E instead of the dot?

This gets me past the resolve problem, but the FTP server doesn't seem 
to like the user called user%2Ename.

Anyway, I found a way that works, using CURL:

curl -P fxp0 \
ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext  \
file.ext

The key here was -P interface - without that, CURL also tried to use 
passive mode.

REPOST: null device in linux jail root

2003-12-16 Thread Charles Howse
Surely, *someone* who reads this list has upgraded the linux_base port, and 
figured out the proper way to respond to this prompt.

___

Hi,

I installed Linux compatibility when I installed FBSD 4.8, but I've never 
really done anything with it.

While portupgrading , I was presented with a prompt that I don't know how to 
respond to:

You need to create the null device in your jail root environment.
Run the following commands outside the jail root environment,
and then press enter:
mkdir -m 0755 -p Jail Root dir/dev
rm -f Jail Root dir//compat/linux/dev/null
mknod Jail Root dir//compat/linux/dev/null c 2 2
chmod 666 Jail Root dir//compat/linux/dev/null

I found that this prompt comes from the makefile in the linux-base port, which 
I don't have access to at the moment, so I can't quote it exactly.

Clueless, I just pressed enter at the prompt, thinking I could always go back 
and do it later, or deinstall the port and reinstall it when I learn what to 
do.  

I know what a jail is, but how do I know what my Jail Root dir is?
Also, why the double slashes in the last 3 lines?  What do they mean?

What is the proper way to deal with this prompt?

Hi!

I'm trying to write a script which gets a file from remote FTP server.

The FTP username contains dots and this cannot be changed.

There are two firewalls involved, one running on the same server where

server and the FTP server. The FTP server itself is in internal network
using RFC1918 addresses and a port in firewall is being forwarded to

This is a little offtopic, but you can configure the

DOS of named

2003-12-16 Thread Robert Eckardt
Hi,

what measures can I take against this irregular appearing Denial-Of-Service
attacks of named which is filling my logfiles (messages, daemon, all.log)
with messages like sysquery: no addrs found for root NS for minutes at
a rate of 4000 lines/sec?

I'm using named 8.3.3-REL on FBSD-5.0R.

There is no indication that ipfw is blocking anything as denied packets
are logged by default. (Well, at least not from any name servers.)

This phenomenon happens irregularly after a few days/weeks/months.
This last event, for example, happend after 4 days uptime, the one before
after over 42 days.
Searching in the archives pointed me to 
a) some issue with the named.cache file which I updated weeks ago and 
   which is still up-to-date
b) the firewall blocking the answer from a root-server (see above)
c) and of course the arrogance of a developer suggesting to use a larger
   filesystem for logs as nothing is wrong with an application logging
   every error.

Thus, nothing to solve the problem or to find the true cause.

An nslookup 198.41.0.4 a.root-servers.net. produces
Authoritative answers can be found from:
198.in-addr.arpanameserver = chia.ARIN.NET

New name for Floppy disk devices?

2003-12-16 Thread Dr. Lyman Hazelton
OK, so sometimes serial devices that one would expect to have names in 
/dev like sio0 or sio1 are now called cuaa0 or cuaa1 (for reasons 
beyond my understanding).  Now I can see my floppy disk in the dmesg 
output, but there doesn't appear to be an fdc0 in /dev.  Did floppy 
disk devices get renamed, too, or is it hiding somewhere else, or did 
it, for some unknown reason, just vanish?  I'm trying to create a 
floppy disk boot pair, and can't write to a device I can't find.   
Help?

ACPI is the culprit! (Re: Having problems with 'pcm' and on-board Crystal Sound)

2003-12-16 Thread pseniura

A private e-mail to me mentioned a similar problem on the -current maillist:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=696541+0+current/freebsd-current

After reading that thread, I added a line to device.hints to keep ACPI completely 
disabled:
hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
and kept these lines in loader.conf:
snd_mss_load=YES
snd_pcm_load=YES

By golly, IBM Crystal Audio[tm] is working now!
And it's even way better than OSS!   ;)
...at least with the little bit I've tested so far...
(crossing fingers  whatever else come in pairs)

The system feels 'heavier' now -- I bet it is due to irqs not being so fast 
(edge/level triggers) as with ACPI enabled?

Thank y'all for helping, really appreciate it.

Changing /etc/termcap in 4.8 - How can I?

2003-12-16 Thread Jim Ramsay
I have tried to add an extra entry to /etc/termcap:

rxvt-cygwin-native|rxvt terminal emulator (native MS Windows/Cygwin):\
:pa#64:Co#8:AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm:op=\E[39;49m:\
:ac=+\257,\256-^0\333`\004a\261f\370g\361h\260j\331k\277l\332m\300n\305o~p\304q\304r\304s_t\303u\264v\301w\302x\263y\363z\362{\343|\330~\376:\
:tc=rxvt-mono:
to try to get linedrawing characters working correctly in my connection 
from my work computer (cygwin/ssh) to my freebsd machine at home.

1) I edited the file as root and put it just after the existing 'rxvt' 
entry.

2) I then went into /usr/share/misc and did `cap_mkdb termcap` to update 
termcap.db.

However, when I try to `setenv TERM rxvt-cygwin-native`in tcsh, I get 
the error:

tcsh: Cannot open /etc/termcap.
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.
Which is the same error if I try to set TERM to something like 
aoeuaoeu which doesn't exist in the termcap.

Is there some step I'm missing here to make tcsh recognize the new 
termcap info?  Is termcap cached somewhere that I haven't updated or 
something?

Radeon DVI

2003-12-16 Thread William Bloom
I have an ATI Radeon 9700 w/ VGA/DVI outputs on my FreeBSD 5.1 machine
that I've been using with only the VGA port for some months.  Now that I
happen to have a MacOSX machine at my desk as well, I'd -like- to
substitute a flat panel DVI monitor and use one of the new Belkin
OmniView SOHO DVI/USB KVM switches for the two machines.  I've seen the
mailing list postings regarding use of ATI DVI cards with XFree86, so
this appears to feasible with a few caveats in mind.  This new flat
panel monitor will be my only one.  That is, I don't plan on a
dual-headed system w/ Xinerama (the old VGA will be recycled).

Now the real question...

Will the flat panel work with the FreeBSD console??  Does the console
initialize the DVI output on the Radeon??  Mind you, I'm not worrying
about XFree86.  But I want to have a working display (it's my only one)
even when X11 isn't running.  I haven't bought the flat panel yet and I
don't have one to experiment with.

Release Tag and Branch Tag and Upgread ..

2003-12-16 Thread Vahric MUHTARYAN
Hi Everybody  , 


I know that all FreeBSD version have Branch on code tree . Now
I'm using to keep up-to-date FreeBSD witch CVSup and buildworld method .

I'm using 4.9 or 5.1 versions . in stable-supfile I setted 

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9 

I know that, this method for only security advisories and other
seriously critical fixes ... 


What is going on if I set it RELENG_4 ?! Do I have to use it ? 


What about RELEASE Tag ?! When Do I have to use this type of
update for example Can I use it when I want to upgread my FreeBSD 4.9
RELESE to FreeBSD 5.1 or FreeBSD 5.0 RELEASE to Freebsd 5.1 RELEASE ... 


I wonder about CURRENT Branch , How FreeBSD CURRENT users can
keep-up-to date their src tree and system because all of those updates
looks like for STABLE or RELEASE ?!! 


Last question is ; Some body said that you I did not need to
make buildworld every time ?! I want to know When need to make
buildworld process ?! 

Thanks 
Vahric

problems with device detection on Vaio laptop

2003-12-16 Thread Mikhail Teterin
Hello!

I have some problems with this rather loaded laptop (dmesg.boot
attached).

As can be seen from dmesg.boot, neither the FireWire nor the WiFi are
enabled at boot:

you need to tell the system to offer a login prompt on the serial

Sorry, it doesnt seem to work isn't a lot to go on.

What output did you expect, and what output did you actually get?

Have you tried different options to 'comm'?  If the list contains only
numeric IP addresses, the '-i' option isn't going to do you much good,
for example.

Have you tried 'diff file1 file2'?  Do you get the output that seems
reasonable from that?

Each process that gets run will be logged into /var/account/acct.  You

Anonymous FTP

2003-12-16 Thread fbsd_user
During the original install of FBSD the sysinstall process gives you
option to activate anonymous FTP.  After FBSD install is complete
there is no way to get sysinstall to give that option again. This
looks like short coming of sysinstall process.

I see /var/ftp and sub-directories beneath it, with an copy of
passwd, group and ls and date commands.
What is going here? How does inted.conf  ftp statement knows to use
that area on /var ?
Where can I find written description on how sysinstall set up
anonymous FTP?

This is described in the ftpd(8) man page.  The anonymous FTP
behaviour requires that there be a ftp UID in the password file and
is triggered by the remote user logging in as anonymous or ftp.

Trouble with installing FreeBSD to a laptop

2003-12-16 Thread Odd Rune Strømmen
Hi.

I'm having some troubles with installing FreeBSD on my laptop. I've tried
both FreeBSD 5.1-RC1 and FreeBSD 5.2-RC1, and the installation fails both
times, though differently.

My laptop is a HP Omnibook XE3 and according to this webpage (
http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl?action=show_laptop_detaillaptop=37 
 
)  it should work.

So onto the interesting stuff..

It doesn't really fail on installing, it's more accurate to say that it
fails while loading the kernel and starting the different devices. It fails
with:

Fatal double fault:
eip = 0xc07c7a40
esp = 0xc91e3000
ebp = 0xc91e4800
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
panic: double fault
cpuid = 0;

Now, I've been programming ASM for a few years, and I recognize the
registers, eip, esp and ebp and the hex-values that has been put on them,
but i can't seem to figure out the why the kernel panics (I'm just guessing
that it does, am I correct?)

--
When the 5.1 kernel fails, it spouts out some jibberish that i think might
have something to do with the CD beeing bad, I won't get into that one right
now as i should probably investigate that case a little myself before i post
it to the list.
--

The funny part is that I've installed FreeBSD 5.1-RC1 to this exact same
computer before (5.1-RC1 that is), but a job required me to install winXP
and that was done, on a short time basis.  Now that I want to go back to
FreeBSD.. well. I've probably made my point clear. I can't get it in.

Does someone have any idea about this error message, or can help me with at
least understandig why the kernel panics? (Assuming that it does... It syncs
the discs right afterwards and then reboots after 5 minutes of idling.)

Has that sorted you out then?

I was thinking you could make use of the php.ini setting:

sendmail_path 

to set the sendmail_path on a per-user / vhost basis in your httpd.conf
file:

virtualhost ip:port
servername domain.com
... other directives
php_admin_value sendmail_path sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/virtualhost

For this to work in Exim - sorry don't know about postfix - you'd need
to add the user the httpd was running as (www) as a 'trusted_user' in
the Exim config - no doubt this would be the same in postfix.

Postfix and FreeBSD question

2003-12-16 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello everyone.

I am in the process of setting up a Mail server that will be running
FreeBSD 4.9 and postfix.

My question is that, by default, FreeBSD has sendmail up and running. I
seem to vaguely remember that there were a few extra steps that were needed
to remove and install postfix correctly.

I quickly read a README_FILE for postfix, but it was not really clear.
Thus, I was hoping to ask some questions here and get some additional
feedback about this particular setup.

I appreciate the help.

Jason

P.S. I am planning to install postfix through ports. :)

yes, there is. in /etc/rc.conf, disable sedmail by including this line:
sendmail_enable=NONE
this will disable sendmail's incoming and outgoing mailing functions.

once you have postfix installed, my personal preference is to symlink 
/usr/local/sbin/postfix to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix (postfix binary 
accepts start/stop args in compliance with freebsd's rc architecture) 
rather than using the rc.conf to start postfix at boot time. you can use 
rc.conf by enabling sendmail but with different startup flags. during 
postfix port installation, you'll be prompted for the correct usage. the 
former method is perhaps more cleaner and less convoluting.

 P.S. I am planning to install postfix through ports. :) 

Fine :-) The port will do all the FreeBSD specific things for you (some
are automated, for the others you get detailed instructions which you
can re-read in either the pkg-message file in the port's directory).

For the rest of the setup, you should consult the Postfix documentation
and have a look at the example files: Pretty much everything is already
there and merely needs to be modified or enabled by you.

You should be able to send PRs with *any* DNS name that maps to your
address.  If you want a permanent one, there are some free dynamic
DNS services out there.  If you just want to set the hostname
automatically, note that dhclient will do it automatically if the DHCP
server sends the hostname to it (and if not, you can probably script

The difference they are talking about is after you've given the
'make install' command in /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof.

The ports system looks for the distfile in /usr/ports/distfiles.  If
you've already copied the distfile in there manually (from a CD or
someplace else), it proceeds to build the port.

The internet version is where it doesn't find the distfile in
/usr/ports/distfiles.  Then it uses your net connection to find one and
download it.

This is possible, as long as the old hardware supports the RAM you are

i find this frustrating.  on your website (page  
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports- 
using.html)  the following tells me that 'from cd' and 'from 
internet'  are exactly the same...  it does not tell me the directory 
of (ie.)  lsof.  it simply tells me to 'make install'.  please help a 
poor green  newbie.

4.5.2.1 Installing Ports from a CD-ROM

The FreeBSD Project's official CD-ROM images no longer include  
distfiles. They take up a lot of room that is better used for  
precompiled packages. CD-ROM products such as the FreeBSD PowerPak do  
include distfiles, and you can order these sets from a vendor such as  
the FreeBSD Mall . This section assumes you have such a FreeBSD 
CD-ROM  set.

Place your FreeBSD CD-ROM in the drive. Mount it on /cdrom . (If you  
use a different mount point, the install will not work.) To begin,  
change to the directory for the port you want to install:
#cd /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof

Once inside the lsof directory, you will see the port skeleton. The  
next step is to compile, or ``build'', the port. This is done by 
simply  typing make at the prompt. Once you have done so, you should 
see  something like this:
#make  lsof_4.57D.freebsd.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in  
/usr/ports/distfiles/.
 Attempting to fetch from file:/cdrom/ports/distfiles/.
===  Extracting for lsof-4.57
...
[extraction output snipped]
...
 Checksum OK for lsof_4.57D.freebsd.tar.gz.
===  Patching for lsof-4.57
===  Applying FreeBSD patches for lsof-4.57
===  Configuring for lsof-4.57
...
[configure output snipped]
...
===  Building for lsof-4.57
...
[compilation output snipped]
... #

Notice that once the compile is complete you are returned to your  
prompt. The next step is to install the port. In order to install it,  
you simply need to tack one word onto the make command, and that word  
is install :
#make install ===  Installing for lsof-4.57
...
[installation output snipped]
...
===   Generating temporary packing list
===   Compressing manual pages for lsof-4.57
===   Registering installation for lsof-4.57
===  SECURITY NOTE:
  This port has installed the following binaries which execute with
  increased privileges. #

Once you are returned to your prompt, you should be able to run the  
application you just installed. Since lsof is a program that runs 
with  increased privileges, a security warning is shown. During the 
building  and installation of ports, you should take heed of any other 
warnings  that may appear.

Note: You can save an extra step by just running make install instead  
of make and make install as two separate steps.

Note: Some shells keep a cache of the commands that are available in  
the directories listed in the PATH environment variable, to speed up  
lookup operations for the executable file of these commands. If you 
are  using one of these shells, you might have to use the rehash 
command  after installing a port, before the newly installed commands 
can be  used. This is true for both shells that are part of the 
base-system  (such as tcsh ) and shells that are available as ports 
(for instance,  shells/zsh ).

Note: Please be aware that the licenses of a few ports do not allow 
for  inclusion on the CD-ROM. This could be because a registration 
form  needs to be filled out before downloading or redistribution is 
not  allowed, or for another reason. If you wish to install a port 
not  included on the CD-ROM, you will need to be online in order to do 
so  (see the next section ).

4.5.2.2 Installing Ports from the Internet

As with the last section, this section makes an assumption that you  
have a working Internet connection. If you do not, you will need to  
perform the CD-ROM installation , or put a copy of the distfile into  
/usr/ports/distfiles manually.

Installing a port from the Internet is done exactly the same way as 
it  would be if you were installing from a CD-ROM. The only 
difference  between the two is that the distfile is downloaded from 
the Internet  instead of read from the CD-ROM.

The steps involved are identical:
#make install  lsof_4.57D.freebsd.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in  
/usr/ports/distfiles/.
 Attempting to fetch from  
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/.

KDE, Gnome not coming down via cvsup

2003-12-16 Thread Jonathon McKitrick

Hi all,

I run cvsup to get the ports collection updates about once or twice a week.
I noticed that the list of ports on the FreeBSD website has separate
categories for KDE and Gnome.  However, when I cvsup with 'ports-all' in my
cvsup file, I don't get these directories in /usr/ports/.

Is this an issue for some reason, or just a silly oversight of mine?

Re: Trouble with installing FreeBSD to a laptop

2003-12-16 Thread Odd Rune Strømmen

Yet another little update, now it fails with the exact same panic during the
actual install process,
sysinstall recieves a signal 11 and poof...away it goes.

The only documentation i've found is an old mail that says that panic:
double fault was an known
error back in FreeBSD 2.2.2, occuring when a user had 48 megs of RAM
installed... I have 512, it shouldn't have anything at all to do with
eachother, this I'm sure of.

Yet another sleepless night..

 Just thought i'd give a little update, i disabled ACPI for the boot and,
 strangely enough,
 the panic didn't occur, i turn it back on and it's there agian. I would
 still like to know what the heck it was though, as i see no logical link
 between Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and this panic...

 Still fiddeling on...

  Hi.
 
  I'm having some troubles with installing FreeBSD on my laptop. I've
tried
  both FreeBSD 5.1-RC1 and FreeBSD 5.2-RC1, and the installation fails
both
  times, though differently.
 
  My laptop is a HP Omnibook XE3 and according to this webpage (
 

http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl?action=show_laptop_detaillaptop=37
  )  it should work.
 
  So onto the interesting stuff..
 
  It doesn't really fail on installing, it's more accurate to say that it
  fails while loading the kernel and starting the different devices. It
 fails
  with:
 
  Fatal double fault:
  eip = 0xc07c7a40
  esp = 0xc91e3000
  ebp = 0xc91e4800
  cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
  panic: double fault
  cpuid = 0;
 
  Now, I've been programming ASM for a few years, and I recognize the
  registers, eip, esp and ebp and the hex-values that has been put on
them,
  but i can't seem to figure out the why the kernel panics (I'm just
 guessing
  that it does, am I correct?)
 
  --
  When the 5.1 kernel fails, it spouts out some jibberish that i think
might
  have something to do with the CD beeing bad, I won't get into that one
 right
  now as i should probably investigate that case a little myself before i
 post
  it to the list.

  The funny part is that I've installed FreeBSD 5.1-RC1 to this exact same
  computer before (5.1-RC1 that is), but a job required me to install
winXP
  and that was done, on a short time basis.  Now that I want to go back to
  FreeBSD.. well. I've probably made my point clear. I can't get it in.
 
  Does someone have any idea about this error message, or can help me with
 at
  least understandig why the kernel panics? (Assuming that it does... It
 syncs
  the discs right afterwards and then reboots after 5 minutes of idling.)
