Avoid questions from portupgrade?
I started a portupgrade -avR yesterday. It stopped in the middle of the night, after getting to GhostScript. GhostScript asks me which drivers to compile. Is there a way, preferrably in /etc/make.conf, that I can tell it beforehand which drivers I want, so that GhostScript won't ask? Is there a way for me to find out which other ports like to ask questions, which questions it asks, and to preanswer them? tia, Kai ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Retired Linux user wants to switch
I've been using Linux for about 7 years. At the beginning the Linux community was still very small and very little people ever heard about it or even knew what is was. Many people called me crazy/stupid/dumb because I wasn't using Windows and told me I would never find a job as a programmer. Now everyone suddenly thinks I'm cool :S and ask if I could install Linux for them. All these years I've seen Linux grow.

Yesterday I decided to go back to the IRC channel, after about 4 years, to ask a question about USB (I'm not really into USB). What happened really turned me off. They called me a troll, that I should go back to Windows, I'm too dumb to use Linux and because I told them I've been on this channel even before you began using Linux they kicked me off. This is 1 of the many examples. It may sound weird, but because of what the Linux community has become I would like to try and switch some of my systems over to FreeBSD. First I have some questions about what to expect: Is there any alternative for Shorewall? If not, would it be wise to port it to FreeBSD? Is FreeBSD using PAM by default?

questions about what to expect:
You're welcome here, and I hope that you'll be treated with rather
more courtesy than your recent IRC experiences.
Is there any alternative for Shorewall? If not, would
it be wise to port it to FreeBSD?
There are two firewalls supplied with the base system: ipfilter -- see
ipf(8) and ipfw(8). Ipfilter has been ported to several Unix
flavours, but IPFW is pure FreeBSD. For most home uses either will
serve you well and it's a matter of taste as to which you prefer. Be
sute and enable the IPFW2 stuff if you're using 4.x -- it's standard
in 5.x, but couldn't be made the default in 4.x due to the commitment
not to make severe API changes except between OS major versions.
Addifionally, OpenBSD's pf(8) is available in ports -- that started
off as a fork of ipfilter but it has added quite a lot extra
functionality. 5.x now has the PFIL_HOOKS mechanism as a generic way
to hook up any sort of firewall. I'm sure that a port of Shorewall
would be well received, but it could never be included in the base
system as that would force the whole kernel under the GPL.
Is FreeBSD using PAM by default? Will the combination
of pam_ldap + nss_ldap + OpenLDAP work?
Yes, FreeBSD uses PAM -- it's actually the OpenPAM implementation --
see http://www.openpam.org/, which is a different implementation, but
functionally identical to what you've been using on Linux.
pam_ldap will work just fine on 4.x, but you'll have to use 5.x for
the nss_ldap functionality. OpenLDAP clients and servers are readily
available from ports.
Can FreeBSD resolve reverse dependecies? Is there
something to clean up orphan dependecies?
You're talking RPM hell here aren't you? FreeBSD ports basically
doesn't have that problem. If you install pre-compiled packages it's
pretty much the equivalent to Debian's apt-get (although apt-get is
more fully developed as a package management system). If you install
from ports -- ie. compiling from source -- it's quite similar to
Gentoo's 'emerge' (they copied us...), but the ports system is more
comprehensive, and seems to work a bit more smoothly then emerge.
Does FreeBSD have something like SYSV modules (just
asking, of course there's kill)?
There's quite a lot of SYSV compatability stuff -- the shared memory
(SHM) and other SYSV IPC mechanisms are fully supported. The userland
is BSD-ish (of course), but nothing you can't get used to with a
little practice. Possibly less than you might expect -- eg. the ps(1)
and df(1) commands in Linux are pretty much the BSD versions, unlike
say, Solaris or HP-UX which are purer SysV.
Probably the biggest difference to Linux is using the Bourne shell
/bin/sh for scripting, rather than BASH or the Korn shell (both of
which are available in ports, but will be installed to
/usr/local/bin/{bash,ksh}. FreeBSD /bin/sh has about the same
programming capabilities as ksh, but it's not really suited to being
an interactive shell -- tcsh(1) is the default for that, or you can
install ksh(1), bash(1) or zsh(1) from ports.
How well does DRM/DRI work in FreeBSD?
I take it you mean 'Direct Rendering Manager' rather than Digital
Rights Management or Digital Radio Mondiale. There is some support in
FreeBSD, but less than under Linux. It depends on your hardware
basically. The port of the Linux nVidia drivers works very well.
Otherwise support is as provided through XFree86 or whatever they are
calling themselves nowadays. There is a Kernel Graphics Interface
project which is making progress, but it's still experimental -- see
http://people.freebsd.org/~nsouch/kgi4BSD/
Is it possible to PXE boot the FreeBSD installation
and install from the network (without setting up NFS)?
Yes.
Are there any recommendations for managing a hosting
server? Software? Configurations?
FreeBSD system recommendations are usually rather more conservative
with respect to stability and reliability than most Linux distros. If
you're going to be running your hosting servers for profit where
reliability and stability under load is very important, then stick
with FreeBSD 4.x. Otherwise, the latest branch from -CURRENT (FreeBSD
5.2) seems to work well for a lot of people, and there is some
hardware which is only supported under 5.x. See
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2R/early-adopter.html for a good
discussion.
FreeBSD documentation is generally excellent and very readable. Just
about everything has a useful man page, and there's a wealth of more
in-depth stuff on the website, particularly the Handbook.
These were all question for now. I hope the story at
the beginning wasn't too much and didn't violate the
rules of this forum.
No problem.
Cheers,
Matthew

Mailfilter
Dear All, For awhile now I've been using a Linux/Unix program called Mailfilter, and it is SUPERB. It has solved my problems with the continuous bombardment of Windows viruses that pour into my inbox. Unlike Procmail, Mailfilter deletes the garbage on the mail server, so you don't have to download, which is of major importance if you're on dialup (as I am most of the time). Alas, I have not been able to get Mailfilter to compile on FreeBSD, even though it is claimed to work. It is not in the ports collection (though I wish it was - any developers interested?). Rather, you have to download the source from Sourceforge and compile. Below I've reproduced the part of the make process where the error shows up.

use \000 in sed
Hello. I wish to see all the files in some pathes in a string. Say, I wish to list all files in $PATH and manpath(1) What I can think of is to use #manpath | sed s/:/ /g |xargs ls (This is useful when auto-completing man command in a shell, say, csh). This works, but the command is wrong when a path contain a space in it. I think a better way is to replace : with \000, the NULL. In this way I can use xargs -0 to pass all pathes to ls(1) #manpath | sed s/:/\000/g |xargs -0 ls Only I don't know how to let sed(1) understand \000 is the actual ascii code 0 not the string 000.

Re: Retired Linux user wants to switch
Hi, I've been using Linux for about 7 years. At the beginning the Linux community was still very small and ... All these years I've seen Linux grow. I helped people on IRC while more and more users were coming with their questions. Yesterday I decided to go back to the IRC channel, after about 4 years, to ask a question about USB (I'm not really into USB). What happened really turned me off. They called me a troll, that I should go back to Windows, I'm too dumb to use Linux and because I told them I've been on this channel even before you began using Linux they kicked me off. This is 1 of the many examples. It may sound weird, but because of what the Linux community has become I would like to try and switch some of my systems over to FreeBSD. First I have some questions about what to expect: Welcome to FreeBSD. It doesn't seem so weird. We have seen a lot of people stepping up lately. I see someone more knowledgeable than I has answered your specific questions, but on the issue of the list[s]. It is generally a friendly environment with a lot of tolerance for newbies and, like myself, thick-heads that take several times through for some things to register. You might occassionally get called a troll on a FreeBSD list, but if your question is serious and you persist without inflamitory language, people will settle down and respond with serious posts. People on these lists tend to dislike someone flaming another person more than they do posting dumb questions or being a newbie. If you really seem to be a troll, generally you won't get booted off, just ignored. Besides trolling and flaming, the worst sin on these lists seems to be jumping to post a question without doing some of your own searching first. Always check the handbook, the FAQs and Google, etc before posting - if for no other reason than it may help you better formulate your question. And, most problems and mistakes have come up before and been written about extensively somewhere. There is a huge body of material written about the system - most of it quite good, but always try for more than one opinion if you are searching the archives. People on these lists seem more interested in creating and supporting well running systems than massaging egos, unlike what you see in some places. (but I suppose having the most reliable, efficient and reasonably secure system does some good for the ego... ;-) ) jerry ... These were all question for now.

Diablo-jdk1.3.1 Tomcat Newbie Needs Install Help (Core Dumps)
I've been trying for longer than I care to admit to get a non-gui FreeBSD server working with Tomcat. Now I have FreeBSD 4.9 Stable, Diablo JDK 1.3.1, and I'm trying to install Tomcat 4 or 5 from ports, but every time I try it, I get a core dump from java every time I restart the computer. I've set the java environment variable: JAVA_HOME=/USR/LOCAL/DIABLO-JDK1.3.1 Did I miss something obvious in installation? Have I chosen a combination of versions that won't work together? Below is a running commentary on the most recent things I've tried, my installation procedure, etc., so you can see if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. The detail may seem odd to you because I was thinking of writing my experience as a guide for other newbies trying to do the same. Here's the commentary: Installing Java and Tomcat on FreeBSD 4.9: (Tomcat naturally expects diablo Java, so that's what I'll install.) Once you've switched to 5.x, or if you use a shell other than csh (or compatible, like the default tcsh) See the FreeBSD manual at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/java-tomcat/x174.html check for old javas on the FreeBSD Computer: cd /usr/local ls In my case there was a bad install of diablo-jdk1.3.1 there. First, uninstall it using ports: cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk1.3.1 make deinstall Then see if there's anything left of the original install: cd /usr/local ls I found some leftovers from Java, so I removed the directory: rm -dfr diablo-jdk1.3.1 remove apache if it's there. (They're supposed to work together, but I'm having trouble, so I removed it as a precaution.) First check packages: pkg_version if it's there, it might not tell you the version, but if it's up to date, just find the newest version in ports: cd /usr/ports/www ls ap* cd apache21 make deinstall receive message unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/etc/apache2', so that's where it was. Go there and remove the directory: cd /usr/local/etc ls remaining file was original-httpd.conf which means I modified httpd.conf in the directory to make apache work. I should have saved a copy of the modified httpd.conf so that I'd know what to change if I installed it again. rm -dfr apache2 Now, go get Java: cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk13 make receive instructions to fetch the distribution manually Open browser on other computer and access http://www.FreeBSDFoundation.org/cgi-bin/download.cgi?package=diablo-caffe-1.3.1-0.tar.bz2 save the file to cd, put the cd in the FreeBSD computer mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom (your cd mounting command may vary at /dev/??? depending on cd interface) cd /usr/ports/distfiles cp /cdrom/diablo-caffe*.* ./ Then unmount the cd: umount /cdrom Then go back to the port folder and build the port: cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk13 make make install cd /etc vi csh.cshrc go to bottom line, then open a new line with the following command: o cursor will jump to new line. Now type: setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.3.1 follow the line with a carriage return, then save and exit. Hit the Esc key, then type: ZZ then reboot and test it: shutdown -r now don't login yet. Check the hard disk access light and see if it continues to stay on after boot is complete. If it does, you're getting a core dump. Wait until the light goes out and the core dump message displays. If that happens, it's not working yet. login Print the environment to be sure you got the variable there correctly: printenv (Now, you really should find some manual way to verify that Java works, like creating a hello world application in java and running it, but remember there's no web server at this point.) Someone suggested: mount -t linprocfs non /compat/linux/proc But, I doubt that I need that for diablo. I think it's supposed to be the native mode java, which doesn't require linux compatibility. Anyway, I get: No such file or directory as response to that. Now install tomcat. Go to the tomcat port: cd /usr/ports/www ls jak* Look on the jakarta website and see what the status of these versions is. Pick a nice, stable version that works with the java you installed above, and install it: I'll try jakarta 5.0, and hope it's the right one for diablo jdk 1.3.1. cd jakarta-tomcat5 make make install reboot to see if it will still core dump: shutdown -r now After restart, I received the message: Jan29 08:20:47 www /kernel: pid 116 (java), uid 80: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It may sound weird, but because of what the Linux community has become I would like to try and switch some of my systems over to FreeBSD. First I have some questions about what to expect: You should find the FreeBSD community very supportive, in even the most basic of issues, provided you first have a read through the FreeBSD Handbook and other supporting documentation (all available through the freebsd.org website), and ask your question in the appropriate location, as you have done here. Is there any alternative for Shorewall? If not, would it be wise to port it to FreeBSD? Not exactly. Shorewall relies on Netfilter (IPTables), which is a Linux only thing. Depending on what your requirements are there are a few alternatives to Netfilter. There is IPFilter IPFW (both included in recent FreeBSD releases). There is also the 'PF' packet filter ported from OpenBSD (in ports under security/pf). Whichever firewall/filtering method best suites your requirements will determine what your options are for pursuing configuration tools like Shorewall. For appliance like firewall applications you might want to check out the following BSD based solutions: ClosedBSD - (http://www.closedbsd.org/) m0n0wall - (http://m0n0.ch/wall/) NetBoz - (http://www.netboz.net/) PicoBSD - (http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html) - dated theWall - (http://thewall.sourceforge.net/) MicroBSD - (http://www.microbsd.net/) - based on OpenBSD Is FreeBSD using PAM by default? Will the combination of pam_ldap + nss_ldap + OpenLDAP work? Yes, PAM is available out of the box, and NSS can be used this way, but your success may depend on the release of FreeBSD you choose to use. See here for a starting point: http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/FreeBSD/docs/Quick_and_dirty_FreeBSD_5_x_and_nss_ldap_mini-HOWTO.html Can FreeBSD resolve reverse dependecies? Is there something to clean up orphan dependecies? If you are referring to package management. Yes, there are a number of support tools available for this very purpose. All packages are handled through the ports system in /usr/ports (also see www.freshports.org), and dependencies are never a problem if you use these tools effectively. Check out 'sysutils/portupgrade' for package management and 'sysutils/pkg_cutleaves' for dealing with orphans Does FreeBSD have something like SYSV modules (just asking, of course there's kill)? I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you mean basic compatibility like semaphores, shared memory and IPC, then yes. If you mean a SYSV style init and run level structure, then no. How well does DRM/DRI work in FreeBSD? That will probably depend on the video card. See http://www.freshports.org/graphics/drm-kmod/ Is it possible to PXE boot the FreeBSD installation and install from the network (without setting up NFS)? This is possible, check the handbook for the Jumpstart Guide section, and use FTP as the media type instead of NFS. Are there any recommendations for managing a hosting server? Software? Configurations? Read the FreeBSD Handbook, and other supporting documentation. Use the ports collection! These were all question for now.

This doesn't exactly help identify the problem much either. How about including the dmesg output from bootup, and maybe the output from pciconf. If the card isn't being detected you need to do some detective work to figure out where in the boot process things are going wrong. Is it not being seen at all on the pci bus? Is the kernel failing to recognise it for what it is? Is the device driver not probing/attaching the device? Determining these things will ultimately point to where the problem lies and hopefully identify the solution. Seeya...Q On Fri, 2004-01-30 at 01:40, Sjaak Nabuurs wrote: Your post is too general.

RE: FreeBDS don't accept 4 networkcards
FBSD Friend No problem about your English, I understand what you are trying to do. Your private Lan IP address ranges are correct, each LAN circuit using an separate subnet. So lets start with the most obvious first. Check rc.conf to verify you do not have typing error on ifconfig statement for each LAN Nic card to assign it's IP address. FBSD does not syntax check rc.conf statements, so you may have the statement there but just typed incorrectly. With that size private LAN you must be using DHCP, so check the dhcpd.conf file that you have correctly defined each separate LAN IP address range for each of the 3 circuits. Next check your IPFW rules that you allow each LAN NIC interface free and un-molested by-directional access. They should by just like what you are doing for lo0. If all that checks out then it's time to boot from the GENERIC.kernel to remove IPFW and see if it works. IPFW is the most likely problem and testing without it is the sure way to locate problem to single component. If you still have problems post the complete content of rc.conf, dhcpd.conf, and ipfw rule set. Also descript how you test to verify one Nic card is not working. I would like to say you should not be using 5.2 for production, it's an dirty development release which uses an completely new file system which has multiple reports of getting in an lockout condition where the only solution is to reboot. The software firewall ipfw FBSD 4.x and ipfw2 FBSD 5.x series have an long time legacy problem when you use stateful rules and it's divert/nated userland subroutine. It just does not work. If you are using IPFW with out stateful rules you do not have the MAX in firewall protection. IPFILTER (IPF) has stateful rules which function as documented with ipnat, it's NAT program. There is an alternative solution, to IPFW dummynet traffic shaper facility for controlling bandwidth usage. It's an stand-a-lone software application called altq.

Serial console install via boot cd?
Hi, I'm wanting to do a install via a serial console as I've only got one monitor, but I havent got any floppy drives here either.. Can the floppy procedure be used with a bootable cd, by just doing echo /boot/loader -h /iso_dir/boot.config ? .. and I'm really wanting to put /usr on a existing vinum volume, is this a feasable solution: add vinum_load=yes and vinum_after=mkdir /raid; mount /dev/vinum/raid /raid;ln -s /raid/usr /usr so allow /raid/usr to be used as /usr? And the final question, after copying the files to my hardrive and editing them, how can I get the boot image for the cd onto the new cd - this can be done in either freebsd (or windows/nero - whatever is easiest)!

Trying to set up cvsup mirror
I'm trying to set up a cvsup mirror to use for updating about 50 machines that are internal to our corporate network. Since I have better control over the firewall et all from my home network, I'm building the machine there. I've got it built, and used the cvsup-mirror port to assist me in setting things up. But it's not working.

Re: Hot Swap hardware on FreeBSD?
Stephen P. Cravey wrote: I'm trying to locate a good resource for creating hot swap capable servers with FreeBSD and Vinum. Specifically, I'm trying to find out several things: Are there resources somewhere that document this type of thing? Please? Do I need controllers for SATA/SCSI that will handle the plugging/unplugging of drives, or do I just need to do a bus rescan (or the like) after the change and notify vinum? I'm not sure that you can do hot-swapping with vinum. Please let me know if you get it to work. Typically you'll need one of the following: 1.) Firewire external drives 2.) SCA SCSI drives. If you go with #2, you'll probably be getting a hardware RAID card with the deal and IT will manage your volume if a drive goes bad. In that case you shouldn't have to do anything under FreeBSD (assuming you're actually running one of the redundant RAID levels, and not just striping). I'm also not sure that you can use SATA for hot swapping. If you CAN, then you'd either need a hardware RAID card as with SCSI above, or you'd need to unmount the drive and issue an `atacontrol detach` command before removing the drive. i.e. do i need something like an adaptec 2200S or will a 39320 work? Is there anything in particular I should look for when buying hot swap chassis? Other than SCA for SCSI? SCA works well on my machines at work. Other than that, you can find multi- drive firewire cases online. [...] Where can I find (recent) performance numbers for raid 0,1,5 comparisons? That's a very broad question. How fast are your drives? What's your interface (i.e. Firewire? SCSI-160? SCSI-320? ATA?) Will you be using vinum or a hardware RAID controller? Which hardware RAID controller (they're DEFINATELY not all created equal!)? In general, you'll probably get optimum speed with vinum. However, it'll chew up your CPU and it might not be as reliable as a hardware solution. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
