How to build diskless kernel?
Hi, I'm following the instructions in the handbook for diskless boot. In Chapter 19.6.1.4 Building a Diskless Kernel, it says: Build the kernel (See Chapter 9), and copy it to the tftp directory ... I have two problems here: 1. Chapter 9 only explains how to build and install a kernel on a running machine, where 'install' puts everything in root directory. 2. When it says above copy it, what is it here? A file? Or files and directories (e.g. /modules/) ? And where is it, after doing the 'build' command as explained in Chapter 9? Thanks for clearing up this matter for me.

Re: CDMA and GPRS support
Hi Would you please advise where I can find a hardware compatibility list for GPRS and CDMA modems (or just a recommended hardware supplier/make/model(s)) for FreeBSD? being .de based, I don't know much about CDMA apart from how it works - as of GPRS/GSM however, I can tell you that it's fully transparently usable if you have a phone with a builtin softmodem that supports the AT command set and the relevant GPRS extensions. With both my Siemens phones I can simply set different APNs with single AT commands and getting the link itself up is a matter of normal PPP dialing (number *99#). Siemens provides an excellent document containing all the supported AT commands and their syntax - you can basically control the entire phone through them. As of the connection to the PC, the usual data cables do the job, I never bothered to f*ck around with IrDA or the like. So, for me it's cu and userland ppp. Works like a charm.

What is wrong with pppd version 2.3.5?
Recently I installed 5.2-RC2 for testing purpose and saw an unexplainable behaviour of pppd 2.3.5. I have an old FreeBSD 4.2 running and connecting via modem with ppp to an ISP using ipfw, natd and pppd. Then I configured the 5.2-RC2 install logical identical, but it does not route any packets. I can ping ppp0 but not the default gateway. This was pppd 2.3.5. Because I did not found anything wrong, I just copied the old pppd binary version 2.3.1 from 1998 to the 5.2-RC2 test system and this works! I was really surprised, because I did not change anything except the pppd binary. Any clue what is wrong here? Is it my configuration or something in pppd? What changed in version 2.3.5?

Problem installing the ISO images (5.1 and 5.2)
Hi FreeBSD'ers! I'm facing a funny situation that I don't really understand... I'm currently running 5.1 (I thought it was -STABLE but the CDROM says -RELEASE, so I'm not completely sure as I have had it for some time). It installed painlessly. As I was reorganizing my hard disk, I thought I would upgrade to 5.2 but, for some reason, it won't install. The CDROM image seems to have been written fine, it boots properly, I can edit and select the various options, I can repartition the disk (basically to erase the partition contents), the base system loads fine ... until it tries to load the PERL package, where it fails. As a number of packages depend on PERL, they won't install either. This happens with both 5.2-RC1 and 5.2-RC2 (I remember seeing the same on the latest 5.1-RELEASE too). Anyone saw the same effect? Any clue of what could go wrong?

Jails for websites
5.1 I have a server with 5 public IP addresses, so I'm thinking I'll set it up with one IP for the server (as a host) and the other 4 assigned to 4 jails. The jails are for websites... From a security standpoint, wouldn't it be better to run four instances of ftpd (one in each jail), as opposed to one instance on the host server? And from a security standpoint, should I run apache from the host server, where I can configure mod_security the way I want, or just run individual apaches inside each jail and let the website owners configure it the way they want? I like the idea of running things inside the jail, and recognize that if the webmaster of the site configures it wrong, it's their problem not mine, but is the jail secure enough to allow them that much access? I have heard of hosting sites selling virtual dedicated servers by giving someone root access to a jail, so I'm thinking jails are fairly secure.

I have configured clamav following the instruction found here : http://linux-sxs.org/administration/clamav-milter.html I have modified my settings in order to have sendmail parsed these messages with smthg like this added in my .mc file : dnl ## milter clamav INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/clamav/clmilter.sock, F=, T=S:4m; R:4m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter') When I start sendmail and tries to send a test mail containing a virus signature, I have a send: Broken pipe message... Has anyone got a working way to use clam as a filter for incoming mail with sendmail... ??

Re: Problems with startx on 5.2-RC2

For example to keep multiple days of data on the second disk for easy/quick access. We're using external USB disks for medium-term archival, and various optical media for long-term. DVD-RAM is the most convenient, albeit slow and non-portable (R/W UDF support isn't quite there yet, so we're stuck with UFS for now). With a USB2 interface, the USB disks are pretty fast, and you can't beat the convenience. One has to be very careful with USB disks on Unix, though, since they can be unplugged without warning while the filesystem is mounted, causing serious filesystem damage. I experimented with various solutions (e.g. automounting and unmounting with synchronous write enabled), but nothing gave 100% protection. Our RAID systems (ICP Vortex SCSI and 3ware IDE) are backed up on Mammoth or AIT tapes with autochangers using afio and chio. Not a cheap solution at ~ $10,000, but there's no other way to automatically back up 1/2 terabyte on media that can be easily stored off-site.

Thank you, Yes, you should de-install apache13 before installing apache13-modssl. Although it's called mod_ssl, it is actually rather more than just a dynamically loadable module -- the main apache httpd binary gets patched to provide the 'EAPI' programming interface. Best way to minimize downtime is to a) build apache13-modssl on a scratch box and test your configuration there. Practice installing everything. Once you're pretty certain it's going to work smoothly, and you understand how to install certificates and so forth, then: b) build apache13-modssl -- if you do this on the server it will cause the port dependencies to be installed automatically (basically that's just the devel/mm port) c) Stop the apache13 server and pkg_deinstall it. d) Install the pre-built apache13-modssl port e) Apply your local customizations to your httpd.conf, install web content etc. d) Start the apache13-modssl server: remember it's apachectl startssl to have SSL enabled. If you don't want to build the httpd on the server machine, then build what packages you need off-line. Installation procedure will be much the same as above. If you have any other 3rd party apache loadable modules (mod_php4, mod_perl etc.) these will need to be recompiled against the new apache13-modssl server at stage (d) above. At some point running through a round or two of 'pkgdb -Fvu' to sort out package dependencies is a good idea. You can also put: APACHE_PORT=www/apache13-modssl into /etc/make.conf to make sure that all apache-related ports you install subsequently will have the correct dependencies.

You may want to create it in a directory # which is only accessible for a user running daemon.

If you have any other 3rd party apache loadable modules (mod_php4, mod_perl etc.) these will need to be recompiled against the new apache13-modssl server at stage (d) above. At some point running through a round or two of 'pkgdb -Fvu' to sort out package dependencies is a good idea. You can also put: APACHE_PORT=www/apache13-modssl into /etc/make.conf to make sure that all apache-related ports you install subsequently will have the correct dependencies.

I have had really old SCSI drives outperform much newer IDE drives under certain conditions. Specially where there is lots of random I/O at the same time there is multi-user access patterns. I think it really comes down to whether the user wants the absolute performance (ie go with SCSI), or wants a better value for the money in which case IDE would probably be the choice. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A camcontrol rescan 1 causes the new target to become visible on the initiator-side card.

Re: 1024x768 on a toshiba 8100 tecra in a text (Non X) Console
Hi, This problem even appears when installing the OS though sysinstall. Disabeling acpi was the solution. I just did a buildworld from 5.2-CURRENT and haven't had any problems. I did install by putting 5.1-RELEASE on the 8100 via ftp and then cvsup'ing sources. The only boot error message I'm getting is that the AC97 version is not recognized (it was recognized for a while). I don't use sound, however. Same story with a Supermicro P6DGH/dual PIII/850. I did discover that if you try to back down from 5.2-CURRENT to 5.2-RC then KDE fails unless it is recompiled. There have been library changes since 5.2-RELEASE separated from 5.2-CURRENT, and my attempt to do a portupgrade -af failed. (I've moved back to 5.2-CURRENT since both systems are development; I intend to move my nat and NFS boxes to 5.2-RELEASE so I can use the same NFS everywhere and get away from the lockd/statd issues.

Plan 9 style backup utility for FreeBSD?
I'm finally getting to the point where my disk capacity massively outruns my tape capacity, so I'm thinking of converting to removable disk-only backup. I could just use Amanda to backup to disk, but I'm intrigued by Plan 9's archival filesystem where backups from (say Jan 1, 1999) would go in /1999/1/1 and you could just find the files directly rather than grovelling through dump files. Is there some standard tool for doing this on FreeBSD?

swapping external hard drives
Hello! OS version: 4.9-RELEASE-p1. 'device firewire' and 'device sbp' compiled into kernel. I've bought two external FireWire drives (Maxtor 5000DV) as a cheap backup media. The idea is to use Amanda, define 5 virtual tapes on each disk, and swap the disk at the end of every week, keeping one of them off-site. So I fdisked, disklabelled and newfsed the drives and added the following to /etc/fstab: /dev/da0s1e/backupufs rw,noauto 0 0 Now I could mount the partition by just typing 'mount /backup', and copy files to it. Nice. However, when I umount /backup and remove the drive, the da0 device somehow remains active (can be seen with 'camcontrol devlist'). When I then plug in the second drive, it becomes da1, which spoils all my beautiful backup plans. I would prefer that when I remove one drive and plug in the other, it becomes da0 again. So I need to get the 'old' da0 entry to go away when unplugging the drive. How can I do that? I tried 'camcontrol rescan 0:0:0' after disconnecting the drive, but it just hangs until I plug the drive back in. I tried 'camcontrol reset 0', but this returned error 0x6 (IIRC). The other way I can think of would be to create a script which first tries to 'mount /dev/da0s1e /backup' and then 'mount /dev/da1s1e /backup' if the former fails. But I hope there is an easier way. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Plan 9 style backup utility for FreeBSD?

I could just use Amanda to backup to disk, but I'm intrigued by Plan 9's archival filesystem where backups from (say Jan 1, 1999) would go in /1999/1/1 and you could just find the files directly rather than grovelling through dump files. Is there some standard tool for doing this on FreeBSD? You can't just do a direct copy cause this results in major disk space wastage so I'm imagining you need to use hard links or something to keep the size down. I followed this on your weblog and I may be missing something: I keep coming back to some cocktail of find(1), ctime(3), diff(1) and friends (pax, tar) to locate and mirror only changed files in a duplicated hierarchy. If I'm understanding it, in 1999/1/1 you might have a file tree that looks like the live one with only files that were modified on 1999/1/1, but all other files would be links back to their unchanged versions.

Re: Problems with startx on 5.2-RC2
Hi Martin, I agree: I experienced X11 freezes on 5.2 with both a nvidia card as well as a card using the i740 chipset. The nv freezed the computer as soon as I started X, the i740 happend to freeze it when I killed the X server I also have nvidia - Geforce 256. And for me it also freezed on startx. Also, I saw two similar reports on the -current list. However, I managed to work around these freezes by removing the two SMP-related lines from my kernel configuration: options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel device apic # I/O APIC Additionally, I am sure ACPI does not have anything to do with this -- at least on this box. Well, it's getting more and more interesting... I'm curious what does it have to do with SMP ? Are you sure it has nothing to do with ACPI ? Other posters suggests disabling ACPI.

Re: Can't shutdown, logout, or restart cleanly
Trey Sizemore [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am running 5.2-CURRENT on my PII-400 desktop. I have done 3 installs of FreeBSD each time cvsupping to 5.2 current (using ISOs for 5.1 and 5.2) to do the initial install. EVERY time I get the following problem. When I try to logout, reboot, or shutdown the machine from X, the machine locks up (no mouse or keyboard response) and I have to do a cold reboot. I am presented with the black text screen seen during bootup right before it launches X (sorry, don't know what to call it) with my login: prompt (again, no response from keyboard or mouse input...it's like X shuts down entirely and then the machine locks trying to go to the next step). This happens whether I use xdm, kdm, or gdm. I have seen other posts with some similar symptoms refer to ACPI and disabling this (I can't find the entry in my BIOS to turn this off). It's an old Asus P2B motherboard. I'm not even sure it's the problem, but I'm willing to look at anything! 5.1 has an errata entry describing how to disable the ACPI code in that release: there's a new and supposedly easy way of doing this in 5.2, but I haven't seen it yet (I'm still on 4.x myself). I really want to use FreeBSD, but having to do constant cold restarts when I shutdown or try to switch users is going to get old fast (not to mention the eventual damage to my files...even though I've got soft updates enabled;) ) I will provide any additional input I can, I realize it's not much to go on now, but hopefully those more knowledgeable than me can guide me to some things to look at to figure out why this is happening. Does this happen with the release versions? Does it happen if you don't enable X at all?

In Chapter 19.6.1.4 Building a Diskless Kernel, it says: Build the kernel (See Chapter 9), and copy it to the tftp directory ... I have two problems here: 1. Chapter 9 only explains how to build and install a kernel on a running machine, where 'install' puts everything in root directory. Right. So you do the build part and not the install part, and copy the kernel to the appropriate spot. 2. When it says above copy it, what is it here? A file? Or files and directories (e.g. /modules/) ? And where is it, after doing the 'build' command as explained in Chapter 9? It is the kernel. A file named kernel.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda

The 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.
