 (check /usr/ports/www )

Actually, you can run the linux flash plugin with the native mozilla.
You need to be running a version of the OS with libmap support --
either 5.x, or recent 4.9-STABLE, or there are some patches against
4.9-RELEASE available, which might apply to earlier versions of the
system.  Just try installing the www/linuxpluginwrapper port -- it
will tell you if your version of the OS is unsupported or not. Be sure
to follow the instructions about setting up /etc/libmap.conf
carefully.  This lets you install both linux-flashplugin and acroread
as browser plugins.  Works nicely.

Re: Where is Bill Paul's NDIS miniport driver wrapper?

2004-03-02 Thread Michel Schwab

Hi

I found this guide:

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator.

Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now.

This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS
miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides
_binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver
code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts:

sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary
compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll
and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that
most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains
a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS
image and then patches in our native routines.

sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes
use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially
prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the
Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the
accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded
and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module.

usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf
into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o.
Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and
mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and
registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary
image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of
the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel
loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having
to move things around later, which would waste memory.)

ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been
updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably
work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point.

This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but
I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has
been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver
(Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK
(e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It
still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would
do something like this:

# cd /sys/modules/ndis
# make; make load
# cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
# ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
# make; make load
# sysctl -a | grep ndis

All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer
to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens,
the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so
you can tweak them.

An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be:

# sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1
# sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID=MY_SSID
# sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc)
# ifconfig ndis0 my ipaddr netmask 0xff00 up

Things to be done:

- get rid of debug messages
- add in ndis80211 support
- defer transmissions until after a status update with
NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs
- Create smarter lookaside list support
- Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments
- Make sure PCMCIA support works
- Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files
- write ndisapi.9 man page

cheers michel

 Hello, all

 I have installed the FreeBSD 5.2.1, which I assumed to be the latest
 available. However, it does not appear to have the NDIS miniport driver
 in the kernel source and there is no /sys/modules/ndis .  I need this
 for my Centrino 802.11b.

 Google has helped me to find quite a few references to it but I cannot
 find a relevant URL. Is this driver distributed separately?  If so,
 where do I get it?

Re: MySQL and FreeBSD 4.x.. problems, problems with server

2004-03-02 Thread Uwe Doering

This has happened with enough servers at different locations that I have to

not using the threaded version.
MySQL always uses threads. It's just that you have the choice which
implementation to use, native or Linux threads.

On all three versions, on different servers
at different sites, I have seen MySQL just go wacky after a while.
Two types of symptoms:

1. mysqld just decides to consume as much of the CPU as possible.
2. new connections to mysql fail
It will usually take 1-3 weeks between occurances.
[...]
Yes, this is a mysql problem probably, and not a FreeBSD problem. However,
I'm hoping to get some help or hope here as well as with the mysql people.
:)
There have been some fixes lately to 'libc_r', the threads lib MySQL
uses by default on FreeBSD 4.x. They deal with EOF conditions in
connection with write(2) which may very well cause process looping.
This programming error could be the cause of your problem as well, so it
might be worthwhile to take a look at the latest CVS commits to
'uthread_write.c':

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_write.c?sortby=dateonly_with_tag=RELENG_4

BTW, a potentially serious problem with signals in 'uthread_join.c' has
been fixed recently, too.

Hope it helps in your case.

You seem to be doing everything right.  Most odd.  I see that the
default timeout is 15 minutes (by inspecting the source code: see
/usr/src/libexec/pootpd/pootpd.c, and look for the actualtimeout
struct) -- can you test waiting that long to see if the bootpd process
will eventually time out?  It might be worth running tcpdump(1) on
your network interface to verify that there isn't any traffic on ports
67 or 68 during that time -- the timeout gets reset whenever there's
any traffic at all.

When you edited /etc/inetd.conf to insert the '-t 5' option, did you
send a HUP signal to inetd(8) to make it reread the config file?

# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

Assuming you mean hardware RAID controllers and a standard IA32 machine:

Depending on which version of FreeBSD you want to run, take a look at:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/hardware-i386.html#AEN33

or

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN65

and look at the man pages linked from those documents for more
detailed lists of precisely what models are known to work.  Your
vendor will be able to tell you what RAID cards they use -- systems by
popular suppliers like Dell and Compaq are generally well supported.

FreeBSD 5.2.1 Freezes ...

2004-03-02 Thread Dinesh Nadarajah

Hi all:

I recently intsalled FreeBSD 5.2 and of late 5.2.1. On both systems I
am seeing system freeze when I start X. Here are the two cases:

On my Dell laptop, X workes fine as long as I don't have ~/.xinitrc.
But if I start gnome-session through .xinitrc, the box freezes. When I
reboot, FreeBSD goes into an 'entropy harvesting' mode and then asks me
to execute /bin/sh and then run 'fsck'.

Then  had the same experience with a another machine (desktop). Here
everything worked fine. I was running gnome, etc. No problems. Then I
installed some fonts. No problems. I deceided to reboot. It rebooted
and as soon as I typed 'startx' it froze. I had to do a cold boot, and
again it took me to the run fsck instruction. It ran fine after the
'fsck'.

Is there a documented issue like this. I would like to learn more on
why this is happening. Any remedies/updates.

Thanks.

DRI troubles with radeon

2004-03-02 Thread Tobias Aigner

Hi there,

I'm having some troubles getting DRI to work. I'm runnig an
ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe Board with NForce2 and a ATI Radeon 8500. First of all
I started using the 5.2.1-RELEASE with following kernel-options:

device agp
device radeondrm

this caused XFree86 (4.3.0 and 4.4.0) to freeze on startx when DRI was
enabled. Then I removed agp and radeondrm from my kernel-config, now
dmesg showed this when startx was launched:

error: [drm:pid580:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called
without lock held
error: [drm:pid580:radeon_unlock] *ERROR* Process 580
using kernel context 0

but X actually started (glxinfo sayed 'direct rendering: no'). After
some reading I started to put these options in my XF86Config:

Option ForcePCIMode true
Option AGPMode 4

well, ok now glxinfo reported 'direct rendering: yes' but my performance
with glxgears should be much better:

1167 frames in 5.0 seconds = 233.400 FPS
1403 frames in 5.0 seconds = 280.600 FPS

dmesg showed this:

drm0: ATI Radeon QL R200 8500 LE port 0xb000-0xb0ff mem
0xc200-0xc200,0xb000-0xbfff irq 5 at device 0.0 on pci2
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.10.0 20020828 on minor 0 info: [drm]
Loading R200 Microcode

This problem is obviously caused by my mainboard, because my radeon used
to work with my old Gigabyte VIA mainboard.

So I'm slowly runnig out of ideas what to do.

Some have claimed this can happen if you:
a] Plug the cable in backwards - ie., the end with the single plug
should go into the motherboard and the end that has the two plugs
closer together should go into the drives.
b] Plug the wrong one of the two that are closer together into the

So I'd say try pulling out the cable and plugging it back in in a
different way.
Another thing to be sure of is that you have the UDMA 100 cable;
ie, one end should have a blue connector and that end should go into

Re: How to remove a non-empty directory

 
 Hi all folks,
 
 Kindly advise where can I find the small program 'midnight commander' for 
 FreeBSD.  OR what command line shall be applied on FBSD to remove a non-empty 
 directory together with its content

I have never tried anything called midnight commander, but you might 
check in the ports collection.   If you installed the skeleton like
you should have, go to /usr/ports and start looking around.   

As for removing a non-empty directory:

 rm -r dirname

I normally cd to the dir's parent (just above it) and do a couple
of checks of where I am and what I am rm-ing before actually doing
it, because once you hit enter it is gone.

If you happen to have any files in that directory tree with flags
set, especially schg, then it will not remove those, but will all
the others.   Then you would have to go in and run chflags noschg on
those files and then go back out and run the rm -r again.

 Hi Stephen Liu,

Hi,

Tks for your advice.

I am aware of make install 'packagename'' on /usr/ports/.  Because I am 
running FreeBSD 5.2 on a slow PC I tried avoiding installing OOo from source 
code.  It will take lengthy time to go through compile, make, make install, 
etc.  I have experience on Gentoo running installation from source code.  On 
a slow PC it would be much earier to install OOo1.1 from its tarball.  For 
the small program 'midnight commander', it took 30 minutes to complete being

This is my 1st time installing/running UNIX.  I don't have much confidence on 
myself even though this is not my first time installing OOo from tarball nor 
my first time using tar command.  I have no idea whether there are diference 
opertaing them between UNIX and Linux.  Therefore I start to post.

Anyway thanks again for your advice.

 Hi all folks,
 
 I have following packages download from OpenOffice site to a folder in
  'user' directory;
 
 /home/user/download/
 en-ooodict-GB-1.2.tgz
 openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 
 1) Can I use following command to extract OOo1.1 tarball to a designated

 2) Is tar command and its tags on FBSD same as Linux

 Yes, they are the same.

 3) Is /usr/ an ideal diretory for OOo1.1 to be extracted to

 It depends on your partition.

 4) Can I use following command to extract the dictionary tarball
 
 # cd /home/user/download/

 you must mannually create the directory.

Re: How to remove a non-empty directory

2004-03-02 Thread Stephen Liu

Hi Jerry and other folks,

Lot of thanks for your advice on the captioned question and time spent.  I 
learn an alternative in removing a non-empty directory.

mc/midnight commander is a small program.  It moves and removes/deletes 
directory including sub-directories and files at the same.  It also has 
editing capability.  It is a small and handy tool.  I have it installed from 
'PORT'.

  Hi all folks,
 
  Kindly advise where can I find the small program 'midnight commander' for
  FreeBSD.  OR what command line shall be applied on FBSD to remove a

 I have never tried anything called midnight commander, but you might
 check in the ports collection.   If you installed the skeleton like
 you should have, go to /usr/ports and start looking around.

 As for removing a non-empty directory:

  rm -r dirname

 I normally cd to the dir's parent (just above it) and do a couple
 of checks of where I am and what I am rm-ing before actually doing
 it, because once you hit enter it is gone.

 If you happen to have any files in that directory tree with flags
 set, especially schg, then it will not remove those, but will all
 the others.   Then you would have to go in and run chflags noschg on
 those files and then go back out and run the rm -r again.
 It will ask you if it is OK to remove those files and act like it
 did, but it won't.kernel is one of those files that normally

I am presuming you have downloaded the appropriate binary install
from Openoffice.
Put the file in /usr/local
Do not unroll the file with tar
and run  psk-add on itpkg-add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz

During the process it will ask where you want to install it and you 
can choose something a little shorter than .../openoffice-1.1.0_1
if you want, but since you will have all the utilities in your path
and so won't have to use that long name all the time, it doesn't
really matter.   Best to leave the base path as /usr/local though.
Wherever you have put /usr/local and symlinked it if you have, is OK.

anyone tried moodle?

2004-03-02 Thread rfa

i was thinking about setting up an online learning environment for some
students here and remembered moodle.

http://www.moodle.org

i did a #make search name=moodle on my ports and couldn't find anything. 
now, has anyone tried this?  im not familiar enough with freebsd and/or
the ports to know whether it is safe to install this on my system so i
just wanna ask around first...

another thing, they had instructions for getting it via CVS:

QUOTE
From a Unix computer
To connect and login for the first time to the CVS server, you can use
this command:

cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/moodle login

There is no password - when asked for one, just hit Enter.

To checkout (download) the entire Moodle code for the first time, use this
command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/moodle co moodle
ENDQUOTE

anyway i tried this but it went like:

su-2.05b# cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/moodle login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/cvsroot/moodle
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer

What does that mean?  Any ideas on how to fix this?  Although i could just
upload the tar file from my windows box, i am curious about this.

1 processor vs. 2

2004-03-02 Thread Joseph Koenig

I'm putting together a system that will host a relatively small database
(around 20,000 records), as well as run Apache / PHP to search that
database. I have the option in front of me to use a P III dual 1GHz machine
with a SCSI Raid 5, or to use a single P4 2.8 GHz with a SCSI Raid 1. Both
have 1GB RAM. I'm looking to use MySQL as the DB. The site that this machine
will host gets about 2 million hits per months (yes, hits, not pageviews or
visitors) from about 21,000 unique visitors. Does anyone have an opinion as
to which machine will perform best under this scenario? Obviously, both
would run FreeBSD. Thanks,

  Hi Stephen Liu,
 
   The simple way is to use PORT to install OpenOffice.

For most things the simplest way if to install from ports, because most 
things are relatively small and the build easy and the author makes a 
version for whatever system the author uses (not necessarily FreeBSD) so 
the port maintainer creates a build that will do it for FreeBSD and you 
have to use that build process.

But in the case of openoffice, the simplest way is to download the binary
package from   http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice, plunk it in to an
appropriate directory (/usr/local) and run pkg-add on it.

This is because the build for openoffice is so large (4 GB) and long (many
hours) and the openoffice people kindly build FreeBSD versions for you all 
ready to plug in and use in just a few minutes.

The only caveats are that one of the isntructions are wrong.
You have to start up the setup by running  .../base_path/soffice 
instead of .../base_path/openofficeand there are a couple of
config/script files missing that you probably are expected to 
eventually fill with local config and startup settings, but which
can just be empty until you get clear about what you want to
configure.One of those is .../openofficexxx/program/freebsd-local.sh
but I don't remember the other at the moment.   It will complain and
refuse to start and name the missing file.  You can just go to the
directory and do a 'touch(1)' on those files to create empty ones and
it will then start up fine.

Keeping multiple machine up to date

I have 10 FreeBSD machines which I need to keep

Cvsuping multiple machines is time consuming, is

road warrior VPN solution needed

2004-03-02 Thread Jon Wilson

I'm looking for a solution to the following VPN setup:

FreeBSD server on public IP address
Private, firewalled office LAN
Road warrior laptop users requiring access to the LAN
Users are anywhere in the world, possibly behind NAT
Users run Win2k or XP
Client software must be minimal, and easy to install and
 configure
It must be reliable
Minimal budget
Minimal patching and tweaking of server software would be a bonus. I'm 
prepared to get my hands dirty a little, but something that just werks 
without in-depth knowlege about IPSec and protocols would be good too.

The need for a Windows pointy-clicky interface appears to imply use of 
either L2TP or PPTP. Getting Ipsec working to an XP machine, using 
Racoon and shared secrets seems to work OK. But I've just wasted a day 
trying to get either of poptop and l2ptd working. The debugging output 
is terrible, and I'm not sure if my ppp configs are at all sane.

If anyone has a working Poptop or l2tpd setup, could they possibly give 
me a look at their config (including ipsec and ppp config)? I think I am 
missing something, but I'm not sure what.

Alternatively, if anyone has advise on other solutions to this problem 
(including paying small sums for alternative software/hardware) then I'm 
all ears.

$ cd /usr/src/sys  cat conf/NOTES i386/conf/NOTES  i386/conf/LINT

:)

 
 Without the comments LINT is essentially useless.
 

I guess it serves a specific purpose for development: if you try to
compile a kernel with it as the config file, the compiler will attempt
to process most of the OS code.

 
 Just long lists of cryptic character strings are not
 very helpful, even if there is a man page on every one.
 

I feel like that this separation of a file needed for developers
(LINT) and file readable by others (NOTES) nevertheless has some
sense. For example, one doesn't have to make sure that NOTES is in any
way compilable, it's `lines that can be cut/pasted into kernel' config
file. That way, one may be able to enumerate more options, even they
are mutually exclsive. That's just one reason that came to my
mind. The reason for splitting notes into conf/NOTES and
arch/conf/NOTES seems more obvious: common devices go into the
former, specific - into the latter.

Processors??  To quote Mr. Scott, the more

Plus, the math.  Two PIII 1GHz shouldn't be
equal to one 2.8 P4.  And there's the question
of how well SMP is doing these days.  There
was some discussion of problems for some
folks using SMP on latter 4.X'es... but I think
DKFS that 5.X is doing better on this?  But
your talking a production machine...don't
you just love decisions?
The only advantage I see for the dual proc
solution is the RAID-5; a super-redundant

Re: Keeping multiple machine up to date

 I have 10 FreeBSD machines which I need to keep

 Cvsuping multiple machines is time consuming, is
 there a better way?  What is the conventional
 wisdom for keeping many machines up to date?
 
 A pointer to an FAQ or something would be great.

The usual thing in this situation is to choose one machine as your
local repository for sources, run cvsup(1) on that, and then
distribute the sources from there to the rest of your systems.

There's several variations on doing that.  Perhaps the simplest thing
to do is just cvsup(1) the ports onto a designated build machine, use
that machine to build packages for all of the others and either share
out /usr/ports/packages by NFS or setup an anoymous FTP server.

Alternatively, you can just NFS export your /usr/ports directory to
all of the machines on your network, and build stuff on each machine.
A good idea when doing this is to set WRKDIRPREFIX and maybe DISTDIR
in your environment (see ports(7)), or in pkgtools.conf (if you're a
portupgrade user) to point to chunk of diskspace held locally to each
machine.  That will let you avoid thrashing your network when building
ports.  If you have a local DISTDIR on each machine you can export
your /usr/ports read only which can be an advantage.  Nb. to avoid
repeatedly downloading the same source tarballs, either share out
/usr/ports/distfiles or set DISTDIR to a local directory and use
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE to force the client machines to try and get the
distfiles from a local server before they go out to the net.

The most flexible way of doing this sort of thing is to set up a
machine as a cvsup(1) mirror or a CVS server, and pull down the CVS
repository onto it.  There's a net/cvsup-mirror port to help you do
that.  Then you can either cvsup(1) you client machines against the
local cvsup server, which is blindingly fast on a 100Mb/s network and
even better if your local server has a fast disk system, or you can
use CVS to check the ports tree out of that server.

There's some description of all this sort of thing in the handbook --
see

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html

but it doesn't say much more than I've put in this e-mail.

I'd choose the P4 machine, not because of the difference in CPUs as much as 
because RAID-1 is much better suited for hosting a database than RAID-5.

You probably don't need the horsepower of the P4, or even a dual-P3 box unless 
your workload per transaction is fairly high.  2m hits per month is less than 
one hit per second; if you have one DB query per pageview, and ~10 hits per 
page, your average transaction load is going to be quite low.

On the other hand, if your usage patterns are bursty, a dual-proc machine 
helps reduce latency better than a single-proc might...

Take a look at the hardware compatibility list.
Most well-supported RAID hardware should be
there.
From www.freebsd.org/releases/ choose the
link for the software release (4.9 or 5.2) you
desire, then your hardware platform (i386/Intel,
Alpha, Sparc, AMD64, etc.)
Another idea would be to view the NOTES
file in the conf subdirectory of the src tree,
which is available for the public via CVSWEB
from the site as well.  On 5.2-RELEASE (my box)
the path is /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES; this
file contains kernel hints for various devices,
many RAID controllers mentioned there.
Finally, you could consider software RAID
emulation via vinum(8), which is documented
in the FreeBSD handbook and works quite
well for lots of people

Re: Tar command and OpenOffice 1.1 question

 
 Hi Jerry,
 
 Tks for your advice.
 
 - snip -
 
  I am presuming you have downloaded the appropriate binary install
  from Openoffice.
  Put the file in /usr/local
  Do not unroll the file with tar
  and run  psk-add on itpkg-add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 
  During the process it will ask where you want to install it and you
  can choose something a little shorter than .../openoffice-1.1.0_1
  if you want, but since you will have all the utilities in your path
  and so won't have to use that long name all the time, it doesn't
  really matter.   Best to leave the base path as /usr/local though.
  Wherever you have put /usr/local and symlinked it if you have, is OK.
 
 Yes I have 2 tarballs downloaded to
 
 /home/user/Download/OpenOffice-1.1/
 en-ooodict-GB-1.2.tgz
 openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz

OK.  I think the .tbz one is for 5.xx FreeBSD.  For 4.9 there is
an OpenOffice.tgz. I didn't do the dictionary one so don't
know much about that one.

 
 Whether your suggested to run
 
 # cd /home/user/Download/OpenOffice-1.1/
 # pkg-add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 (or pkg_add ???)
 
 Give the path to '/usr/local/'.  Will it create the directory 
 'openoffice-1.1.0_1' under 'usr/local', i.e.
 /usr/local/openoffice-1.1.0_1

Suggest:
  cd /home/user/Download
  cp openoffice-1.1.0_1 /usr/local/.
  cd /usr/local
  pkg_add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz 
replace instances of {BASE} with /usr/local if needed
  /usr/local/OpenOffice-1.1.0_1/program/soffice   to set up

later runs of soffice will start openoffice running.


(presuming you are running 5.xxx) suggest moving the openofficexxx.tbz
to /usr/local/  and running pkg-add on it.

The pkg-add command would be as above:  pkg-add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz

It will create the  openoffice-1.1.0_1 directory.  It does it  in the 
directory you are in when you run pkg_add, I think.   Since I followed 
the recommendation and put it in /usr/local and CD-ed there and ran it, 
I don't know just how it will do it if run from somewhere else.  But, 
however, that is where you want it to end up.   I also shortened the 
install dir name to .../openoffice1  when it asked but that shouldn't 
make any difference.

Also, by the way, you want to put the path to .../openoffice/program
in your regular path statement in .login or wherever works best for
you and your chosen shell.

 
 and then to run 'setup' from there afterwards.
 
 How about the dictionary 'en-ooodict-GB-1.2.tgz'

I didn't use that so I don't know.The install would
be the same.  Put it in /usr/local/   and run pkg-add on it.
Beyond that I don't know.Alternately it might go in the
.../OpenOffice1.1.0_1/ directory and then run pkg_add.

priority-- curious about cpu resouce share

2004-03-02 Thread Zhang Weiwu

Today I did't experiment on {rt|id}prio(1), just to be interesting. I am 
trying to understand FreeBSD priority mechenism. IMHO realtime/idle 
priority only starvs processes when there is no cpu resource at all. 

To test, I run mpg321 on realtime priority 3, run ppp on realtime priority 
4, a little lower than mpg321, and scp over the ppp tunnel on normal 
priority. 

Top(1) shows an average about:
55.2% user,  0.0% nice, 21.5% system, 12.2% interrupt, 11.1% idle
* mpg321 takes average about 70%;
* ppp is seriously slowed down, it takes about 1.5% (normally 17% on full 
speed);
* sshd almost starves; it takes 0.00% (normally 2%) and only transfer 
several bytes once several minutes; the otherside scp prompts stalled.

I'm the kind of newbie think 11.1% idle cpu time to be free cpu resource, 
because I don't have idle process. I wish to know why, as there are still 
11.1% free cpu resource, ppp and sshd doesn't get this share? 

Just to be curious. Thank you.

Well if they are all there and well kept up, it could be OK.  I hope 
near the top of the LINT file there will be a comment referring us to 
that NOTES file then.   It will be helpful to keep down the high blood 
preassure of those of us in a panic.

confirmed, my system is messed up :-(

2004-03-02 Thread Chuck McManis

Well, I've confirmed that I've managed to pretty much screw up my system by 
trying to upgrade to KDE 3.2. I can't get khello world to link. QT 3.2, no 
libXmu, the ports say libXt is broken and needs to be fixed. sigh. As all 
I want to do is develop an application for KDE 3.2 (as opposed to work on 
KDE itself) I'm going to wait and 5.3 or 4.10 comes out and re-install my 
system from the built packages at that point.

Thanks for the pointers on portupgrade and -pufa, even through I ran 
through portupgrade -pufa (and I've cvsup'd my ports tree) I have yet to 
get back to a system where I can do development. Good old gcc works fine 
though.

   I  tried  to  mount my floppy drive, but it turned out that I do not

   miss something?
 

The fd device represents the kernel floppy driver.  There are a
couple of things I can think of, right off.  It sounds like your
floppy drive is not being detected by the kernel.  You don't 
mention what version of FreeBSD you're running.  If you're using
4.x, you could do:

# cd /dev
# sh MAKEDEV fd0

to create the fd0 device, but you shouldn't have to.  5.x takes
care of the device management for you.  More info would be helpful.

Thanks for your answer.
You're welcome.

I was googling for this, and I found out that you need some modules:
firewire.c fwohci.c fwohci_pci.c 
Yes, although FreeBSD 4.9 should have come with the module already compiled 
and available for use.  See whether you have:

/modules/firewire.ko

...on your system, otherwise add a device firewire and rebuild your kernel. 
 I've used both the VIA 6306 and whatever Creative uses on the SB Audigy 
(Sony 3022? I forget)...

Will the fwohci driver provide better perfomance then the USB one?
Right now it certainly does.  I was seeing data-level throughput of ~40 MB/s 
or 320 megabits per sec, which is ~80% utilization of the maximum available 
throughput of 400 mb/s.  I don't know how much protocol-level overhead is 
involved, but there is undoubtedly some so it seems the Firewire driver works 
about as efficiently as one might wish.

Relax -- no need to panic.

The sys directory contains just the kernel sources, but the
linuxthreads package needs bits of source code from the rest of the
system.  Most people would simply use cvsup(1) to get all of the
system sources (including the kernel sources), however as that comes
to about 315Mb, you may not want to download all that. [Of course,
once you've got the bulk sources, then cvsup is excellent at keeping
them up to date using a minimum amount of network bandwidth].

If you have installation media you should be able to install system
sources from there, or you can take eg. a copy of the
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard.supfile and edit it to only pull
down the 'src-gnu' collection.

Cheers,

Matthew

DNSBL - including descriptive text in sendmail error message

2004-03-02 Thread John Fox

I am configuring a mail server to make use of the DNS-based black lists
supplied by spamhaus.org, and have run into a bit of a snag.

I'm running sendmail 8.12.11, and have successfully configured the
'dnsbl' feature to reject mail from hosts in the black lists, but
spamhaus.org has requested that MTA error messages contain the
descriptive text corresponding to the blacklisted host (e.g.
http://www.spamhaus.org/SBL/sbl.lasso?query=SBL14030;).

I've checked sendmail docs for information on how to do this, and
come up with nothing.  I've also looked for the information on the
spamhaus site itself, but to no avail.  Likewise for Google searches.

The black lists themselves are quite helpful, and so I would like to
be in compliance with spamhaus' request.  Any clues would be much
appreciated.

BTW, I hope it's not inappropriate to have posted this to both
-isp and -questions.  Please let me know if I should not have
done so.

Thank you much,

-John

You can filter on TCP flags but seems to me what you really mean is how to 
check for no TCP options (nop) rather than no flags:

'with opt nop' is a syntax that should work.

WRT flags, it's my understanding that every TCP packet has at least the A or S 
flag set.

Re: anyone tried moodle?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

i was thinking about setting up an online learning environment for some
students here and remembered moodle.
http://www.moodle.org

i did a #make search name=moodle on my ports and couldn't find anything. 
now, has anyone tried this?  im not familiar enough with freebsd and/or
the ports to know whether it is safe to install this on my system so i
just wanna ask around first...

 

Well, to answer your subject: no, haven't tried it.
I used to be a teacher, though...I'll wish you luck.
A brief browse of the url you provided yields this
information:
Moodle is a web-based application, written with
PHP and a database backend (MySql, PostGreSQL).
As for security, it's not *real* likely that these guys
have done anything on purpose to threaten your
security.
A harder issue would be whether or not the PHP
scripts have been written securely, and that's a
subject for another forum.  I like PHPBuilder.com
for PHP issues.  I would be sure and check whether
or not they are using a lot of system-type calls
(shell_exec(), system(), passthru(), etc.) or whether
the application is more self-contained.  Also, whether
or not the PHP engine must be run without safe_mode
might be something to think about.
If you can run a webserver with PHP and a database,
you will be able to use Moodle.  It hasn't been ported
to FreeBSD, probably, because of one of the following
(which are all speculations) :
a.  it's new?  Can't tell...
b.  Nobody wanted to port it (seems likely ... need a hobby?) ;-)
c.  It doesn't really *need* to be ported, as it's just a set
 of web server scripts.
d.  Kris Kennaway doesn't want another blasted
   port/maintainer to deal with...
**Joking, joking!!! We luv Kris and the whole FBSD team ;-) **
another thing, they had instructions for getting it via CVS:

QUOTE
From a Unix computer
To connect and login for the first time to the CVS server, you can use
this command:
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/moodle login

There is no password - when asked for one, just hit Enter.

To checkout (download) the entire Moodle code for the first time, use this
command:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/moodle co moodle
ENDQUOTE
anyway i tried this but it went like:

su-2.05b# cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/moodle login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/cvsroot/moodle
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer
What does that mean?  Any ideas on how to fix this?  Although i could just
upload the tar file from my windows box, i am curious about this.
Yours,
Rommel


 

Hmm, anonymous CVS asking for a pw?  I do know
that the sourceforge *developer* cvs system has been
having problems with LDAP not adding passwords for
developers properly.  A workaround for that is to simply
re-add your password using their interface.  But, I don't
think that's going to help in your case.
I'm guessing that it's a problem on their end, or
something in your environment asking their server
for a login prompt.  I'm not that good with CVS, so
I probably can't help you there.  However, I can say
that it worked for me just a moment ago
Are you not running a GUI on FreeBSD?
You can grab the tarball from a browser, or
note the URL and grab it from the CLI with
fetch(1) or wget(1) or the like.  I'm doubting
that a PHP project would take very long to
get even on a slow modem.  (hmm, except
the pix...and the compatibility programs
this is looking rather interesting.)  OK, the
new release BETA is 2X the size of the older
one... hmm, I'd not cvs this one probably;
although I guess the good news would be
that you could keep up easily once you'd done
it once.
I'll wish you good luck ... and like I said,
checkout PHPBuilder.com; it's a nice community
there, as well, much like FreeBSD, only younger
(maybe) and they don't all type as well...  :-D
I've gone on long enough.  HAND!

Actually, I do mean no flags set. Nmap's null scan uses packets with all 
tcp flags turned off.

On linux, with iptables, I would say -tcp-flags ALL NONE to test for 
this (the bits to test and the mask are in reverse order to how we 
specify them in ipfilter). The closest ipfilter statement would be 
flags /FSRPAU, specifying no flags to be set, out of all flags. I 
don't believe this is legal syntax though.

Re: FreeBSD 5.2.1 Freezes ...

2004-03-02 Thread Dinesh Nadarajah

I am testing the install on a spare machine and to date no luck. I have
been waiting for a good 5.x series to move from Linux to freeBSD but
guess will have to wait longer. I did some searches on the web but no
one seems to know - maybe it is titled as something else. Not sure if
4.9 would have any problems. The last time I tried it, it did not
detect my WiFi card.

-D

 I recently intsalled FreeBSD 5.2 and of late 5.2.1. On both systems I
 am seeing system freeze when I start X. Here are the two cases:

 On my Dell laptop, X workes fine as long as I don't have ~/.xinitrc.
 But if I start gnome-session through .xinitrc, the box freezes. When
I
 reboot, FreeBSD goes into an 'entropy harvesting' mode and then asks
me
 to execute /bin/sh and then run 'fsck'.

Restore woes

2004-03-02 Thread Kirill Ponazdyr

Hi,

We have following problem on one of our releng_4_9 boxes:

A very large (700gig) backup was made over a number of AIT-2 tapes, during
the backup procedure one of the tapes had a writing error, the dump just
went to the next tape (The procedure itself was automated by scripts and
loader).

Now when we try to restore this backup set, the restore gets stuck at the
tape  dump was having a problem with (Even position on tape is the same),
the problem is: It will not let us skip to the next tape but complains
about read error and asks if we should retry, if we say no it exists, it
we say yes it retries and brings same error again. We tried to use -y in
hope that the restore will eventually reach EOT but this results in
non-stop spamming with Tape read error while trying to resynchronize
messages for many hours.

-R will request same tape again and will not let us insert next.

Is there any way to force restore into skiping this tape and continuing on
the next one? I have seen only one refference to identical problem
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=17791) but it is not clear to
me if it was fixed or not.

Regards

Kirill

/etc/make.conf wget...

2004-03-02 Thread Glenn Sieb

In my /etc/make.conf I have:

FETCH_CMD = /usr/local/bin/wget

When I go to build a port (in this case, kde3), it goes to fetch gettext
(for example), then I get:

wget: illegal option --

Then it stops. I've updated wget to 1.8.2, with the same result. So now
I've #'d out that line in make.conf so I'm using fetch again, but I'd
really prefer to use wget, if possible.

I've googled for this, with no luck... Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Glenn

It's in the ports tree as x11-toolkits/gtk-sharp, but it's most likely
broken as mono support isn't there on FreeBSD yet.

sendmail: Operation timed out with

2004-03-02 Thread Justin Brody

Hello,
I've been unable to get sendmail to send mail properly and am hoping
someone can give some advice.  My internet connection is fine; I can use
ssh, http, etc. without any trouble.  My machine connects to a a router
which is connected to a cable modem:

aleph# netstat -r

I can't send any mail though.  The first entries in my mail queue:

And lots more like it.  I can telnet to math.umd.edu port 25 just fine.
I've also tried sending to other addresses and using '-f' to set my return
address.  That unfortunately exhausts my knowledge of sendmail!

I'd greatly appreciate any help!  I browsed some on the internet and saw
that someone once had a similar problem with his hostname being set
incorrectly.  I wasn't sure how to look at that though...

Thanks,
Justin Brody

Strange behaviour in assembly language program

2004-03-02 Thread Daniela

Hi!

I'm already a bit experienced with assembly, and started to enter my 
executables directly in the hexeditor (for educational purpose only; I know 
this is poor programming style).
I do not yet fully understand all aspects of the ELF header, but I managed to 
somehow write working ELF executables. I tried first a program that exits 
with status 1, and it works. But then I tried other values, and found out 
that it always exits with 1 no matter what I enter. I don't think I made a 
stupid mistake, because the Linux version (exit value given in EBX and 
ELF_OSABI = 03) runs perfectly in emulation mode. The first strange thing is, 
that it doesn't run on a real Linux system (tells me it doesn't have enough 
core memory for a 96 byte program).

Second strange thing:
Finally I came up with the simplest ASM program that reproduces the error.
Here it is:

.text
.global _start
_start:
pushl   $0
movl$1, %eax
int $0x80

I looked everywhere (Developer's handbook, Google, ...) to find the solution, 
but all resources I consulted tell me this is the right way to do it.
This program, however, always exits with 1 regardless of the value I push.

Please, can someone tell me that I made a really stupid error? I'm already 
pulling my hair out.

Thanks for your time.

Daniela

extended IPFW funcionality.. possible?

2004-03-02 Thread Hugo (6s-gaming.com)

Hi,

Come to think about it, it would be REALLY useful if one could see the uid
of the user initializing an outbound connection that got blocked, and the
size of the packet that was just blocked. I remembered this as I am trying
to figure out who is using excess bandwidth from a server with 102 users,
if ipfw would log uid of the user trying to connect outside it would be so
useful. I remembered the packetsize thing mainly because attempted ICMP
floods. No one ever thought on this ? Or does this exist, but these
options must be turned on somewhere?

cvs(1) comes with the system.  However, we've been talking about a
different (but related) program called cvsup(1).  cvsup(1) is
practically indispensable for effective management of a FreeBSD
machine.  To get started with cvsup(1), simply issue the following
command:

# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui

This (modulo running rehash for tcsh(1) users) will install the cvsup
program.  Typically this is my first action on a newly installed
FreeBSD machine...

Now read all about how to use cvsup(1) in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

This is (IMHO) *the* best way to download FreeBSD sources from the Internet.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hmmm... Is there any more information in /var/log/maillog?

What's the result of running:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -q -v 

-- or at least the beginning of the SMTP dialog up to attempting to
send the first message.

I note you're using 'none.org' as a domain name -- that used to be a
registered domain for a corporation in Korea (it's on 'client hold
pending delete' at the moment).  Seems to have disappeared from the
DNS though.  You'll find that sendmail works a lot better if you use
correctly registered domain names -- although it should cope without.

Cheers,

Matthew

MW Anyone know of a good Anti-virus software that works on FBSD?

There are several.  Commercial ones include vexira and sophos (we use
vexira, but sophos was just as good technically in our tests), and the
free one we use is clamav (from ports tree).

The MailArmor product cannot be used as a normal file scanner.  At

integrates nicely with amavisd-new for mail scanning.

The recent updates to the ports/Mk/* files restricts the FETCH_CMD to

ipfw question - ICMP

2004-03-02 Thread C. Kukulies

I have setup my FreeBSD box with ASDL (pppoe) and ipfw (rc.firewall with 
type 'simple').

I have finetuned to allow ssh from certain addresses outside, sendmail works,
but I cannot ping either from inside or from outside.

What does the rule for ICMP look like?

Redirecting all incoming connections to an internal host

2004-03-02 Thread Werner Schalk

Hi,

I have a single DSL line with a single IP address and I am relatively new to 
FreeBSD (FreeBSD acts as a firewall/router for a local area network). What I 
would like to do is I would like to redirect all incoming connections (not 
only single ports) to an internal host (private IP address). Therefore I 
tried to use natd to reach this goal and set it up exactly as described at 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?natd. Unfortunately it is not working 
correctly because I can't reach the services running on the internal host 
from external (e.g. Internet). Is there another way to accomplish this goal? 
I also tried to use a bridge which seemed to work alright but still I was not 
able to access the internal machine...any hints, comments or howtos?

Bye and thanks,
Werner.
