XFree86 configure question
Thanx to some great people out there I have FreeBSD runningYea! Having some difficulty setting up the XFree86 Server. I did like it said in the handbook, but when I ee XF86Config.new, I get a blank file. If I use the configure tool in the sysinstall, it fails to save the file. I am logged on as 'root' Part 2 This computer is 3rd handme down... I found the screen resolution, Horizontal and vertical KHZ but nothing on the video adapter chipset or memory. Where do I go from here. Thanx in advance. Later, Leon A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

If I use the configure tool in the sysinstall, it fails to save the file. I am logged on as 'root' The first thing I would do before trying to configure your XFree86 Server is to find out exactly what Video card( Part 2 ) you are using. You can do this usually by going through your system message buffer from kernel startup. Edit the file /var/run/dmesg.boot and look for information which would indicate your VGA chipset, it usually starts with pci0: In some cases where your Video card is not recognised by the kernel you may need to identify the chipset in another way. Try opening the computer and looking at the chipset on the video card itself. Once you have this information you can then run the command xf86config from the command line, it is usually located in /usr/X11R6/bin. If you lucky your card will be automatically detected otherwise you will manually have to put in the options. After running through the configuration check the XF86Config file it creates and adjust if necessary to your liking. Also, take a look at the FAQ's regarding the X Window System which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html Cheers, -- Nelis Lamprecht PGP: http://www.8ball.co.za/pgpkey/nelis.asc Unix IS user friendly..

usb wireless mouse prob on 5.2.1
I'm having problems getting a logitech wireless mouse working on 5.2.1 (cvsupped updated 12 hours ago). I had this working without problem with exactly the same hardware a few weeks ago but had to reinstall, for various reasons and sheepish mumble didn't make any copies of the configuration/sheepish mumble. It was very easy the first time... Oddly, it looks to me as though it ought to work. But it doesn't, neither in the console nor in X. I'd be grateful for any pointers.

Re: SCSI too slow
The 29160UW adapter has two internal lvd connectors, only one of those supports Ultra-160, the other one is provided for older equipment, since a SCSI chain will only operate as fast as the slowest device on it. Therefor make sure that the devices that supports Ultra-160 (or Ultra 2 Wide if thats what you have) is on the Ultra-160 connector, while the slower devices is on the other. If my memory is not failing me the Ultra-160 connector is the one to the left. Also, check your SCSI Bios, it has some speed related settings. /Emil A Eklund ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - Original Message - From: Karsten Fuhrmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 13:35 Subject: SCSI too slow Hello, i am using a Adaptec 29160UW Controller in my FreeBSD 4.8 Box together with an Easyraid 2 external RAID System and a Quantum SDLT-320 Drive.

RFC: Free Software Hardware Compatibility - Centralised DB
PLEASE NOTE: * Please do not reply-all (this is essentially an announcement and request for comments. For further discussion, please advise that you wish to be added to the soon-to-be-created mailing list (I'm still looking for an appropriate site to host this)). * Please forward this as appropriate (namely to those involved in hardware compatibility, certification, driver development, and/ or manufacture, as it relates to our free software community). ASSUMPTION: We in the free software community wish to have better and more up to date hardware identification and support. We assume that it is in the best interests of each Free Software Unix-like operating system distribution, each kernel (eg. Linux, *BSD, HURD) and in the best interests of the end users, to have a centralised/ unified location for hardware information. First and foremost though, it is in the best interests of the manufacturers - to simplify their job: For Microsoft, they have a single point of contact. Contrast this with the numerous HCLs, hardware sites (such as www.linux1394.org and linuxprinting.org), kernels and distributions, such as Debian, Red Hat, FreeBSD and a myriad of others. As a manufacturer, it is simply impossible to (generally) go anywhere near supporting all these free software projects. And so it is in the best interests of each of us individually, and collectively, if we can simplify the job of the manufacturer. As a manufacturer of a widget, if I have a single, commonly known place to go to provide technical and contact information, as much or as little as I desire (even perhaps just bus IDs and product names), then I might actually do so. We, as a community, might just have a hope of keeping up to date as compared with the proprietary os's out there, namely MSW*. - So, I hereby propose such a database be established. I am willing to contribute some of my own time and effort to doing so. This database and surrounding facilities will be os-, vendor-, distribution- and kernel- neutral, and will thereby attract many otherwise disparate parties, such as the BSDs and the GNU/Linux distros. If you and/ or your company is interested in supporting this effort, by way of working together on this project to unify HCLs, device and driver information or the like, then please reply to me and let me know that you would like to be added to the soon-to-be-created mailing list. If your organization can actively devote even some small resources to the project, that is obviously very much appreciated. - Once the database and submission facilities are minimally established, I propose that relevant parties widely advertise/ promote the fact to manufacturers (and users and developers too), that this database is the preferred and centralized means of submission of such information. The plan is to integrate seamlessly with existing Distribution-specific HCLs and due to the centralization provide and richer facility than is otherwise possible today.

I'm not sure that centralization is a valid assumption in the open source community. Getting hardware is only half the battle. I think that what the members of the open source community would prefer is that individuals and companies who have hardware to donate would be aware of (1) what projects they want or need to support and (2) where the hardware they have to donate can best be used.

Re: two tar issues: man page and --totals behaviour
Stefan A. Deutscher [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi folks,
just noticed two issues with tar on FreeBSD 5.1 (actually, it is
GNU tar 1.13.25):
It's a heavily modified version of Gnu tar, actually.
(1) The man page is somewhat out of sync with what tar --help shows
in terms of options
Should I submit a PR for that one, or send a bug report to the gnu
tar maintainers, or both?
The man page isn't a primary documentation method; the *real* manual
is in Gnu info. [info tar] It's probably the local (FreeBSD)
changes that haven't gotten documented.
(2) The option --totals, according to the docs and --help, is supposed
to show the bytes _written_. It does not quite:
- When running plain 'tar c', it actually shows the bytes written.
- When running tar with any of the built-in compression flags, such
as 'tar -c -{z,Z,y}', it shows the exact same number of bytes as
when invoked without these flags.
While, technically, it might show the bytes written _to_ the
compression program, for all practical purposes it appears to show
what was _read_ from disk. The space used on tape may be
significantly smaller.
I understand that for backwards compatibility one cannot just change
the behaviour of this flag from one day to another. Fixing the docs
might be the easy way out, but I'd like to suggest the addition of
some flag that reports what was actually written _to_ the tape
device.
Even if the device-internal HW compression may change what actually
ends up on tape (i.e. compressing uncompressed stuff somewhat while
probably not gaining anything on gzip or bzip2), this would give a
better indicator of tape usage and space left on a tape.
This would be fairly tricky to implement with an external compression
filter in software, never mind in hardware.
I have no idea whether this has been discussed here already, google
didn't like me enough to turn up relevant threads. Nor do I know how
the upcoming bsdtar handles that flag's behaviour.
I don't think bsdtar has such a flag, actually.
Again, should I submit a PR for that one, or send a bug report to
the gnu tar folks, or both?
If you have written the code to do what you're saying, please do
submit it.

Re: FreeBSD 4.10 RELEASE questions
Louis LeBlanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hey everyone. I have a confusing situation here with the new kernel. I just upgraded to 4.10, and in the process, decided to get a moderately updated kernel config. Particularly, I wanted to try to get my sound working again. Here's the thing. I have the following lines in my kernel config: device pcm # Serial (COM) ports device sio0at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device sio1at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 device sio2at isa? disable port IO_COM3 irq 5 device sio3at isa? disable port IO_COM4 irq 9 options PNPBIOS You'll see the reason I've included the serials in a sec: The dmesg.boot file shows the following tidbits: pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x12eb, dev=0x0001) at 14.0 irq 5 and sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 sio1: type 16550A and unknown: PNP0501 can't assign resources unknown: PNP0501 can't assign resources unknown: PNP0401 can't assign resources unknown: PNP0700 can't assign resources unknown: PNP0f13 can't assign resources unknown: PNP can't assign resources unknown: PNP0303 can't assign resources Now, The serials that showed up appear correct to me, but there isn't any sio2 or sio3, but the unknown card at pci0 is in on 5. Not sure if there's any connection. The things I'd like to resolve are the unknowns - to either correct or eliminate the things causing them, and to get the sound card showing up. The card is onboard in a Dell Optiplex G1, and before the last time I upgraded (thereby breaking sound) it was working fine with the aureal-kmod port. Problem is that I'm not sure if I should have the following: device pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 Note that my fxp0 is using irq 10. Should I just change the irq? Should I leave it and/or the PNPBIOS line out? I'm sure there's some pertinent details I'm leaving out, so don't hesitate to let me know what it is. Thanks for the feedback. Do you *want* to use the extra serial ports? You are compiling them disabled, after all.

Re: Headaches from auto* and libtool... (FOLLOW_UP)
Henrik W Lund wrote: Greetings, list! I've been given headaches lately, and I believe the auto* brothers and their buddy, libtool, to be the culprits. It all started when I installed Anjuta, the C/C++ IDE for GNOME. What it basically does for project management is use autoconf, automake and libtool to generate the familiar ./configure script and its like. Now, this all works well and good up until the configure script is run. It will fail with the following message: ... checking whether ln -s works... yes loading cache /dev/null within ltconfig ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' Try `ltconfig --help' for more information configure: error: libtool configure failed Now, the pickle is that I've got 4 versions of libtool installed, 3 of which are registered in the package database. I've got libtool-1.3.4 (not in the package database), libtool-1.3.5_2 (from origin devel/libtool13), libtool-1.4.3_3 (from origin devel/libtool14) and libtool-1.5.6 (from origin devel/libtool15). And with two versions each of both autoconf and automake installed, I'm suspecting that an unfortunate mix of versions of the various programs is what's causing this failure. I've googled around all day, and the error seems to be fairly common, but I've yet to find a clear answer. I'll tell you what I've tried: I've tried playing with symlinking libtool and libtoolize to different versions of libtool (as the binaries are named libtool13, libtool14, etc), to no avail. I've tried editing ./configure, removing the --no-verify flag, but this seems to always be replaced somehow. I've tried different macros in configure.in for autoconf, like AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and AC_CANONICAL_HOST, but still nothing. I've even tried different values for HOST as an environment variable. I know it's not Anjuta, because the IDE doesn't even need to be running for the error to occur. Basically, I'm stumped. Can anyone here help me? What's so special about these three programs that require numerous versions of each installed on the same system? Or can I uninstall all the older versions, keeping only the newest? Will this even do me any good? Thanks in advance! -Henrik W Lund Kinda following up on myself here, posting what I've found after several more hours of digging around in documentation. Actually, as I'm typing this, I found the solution. For some reason, the autogen.sh script creates the configure script to call ltconfig with the --no-verify flag. This causes ltconfig to rely on having the host type passed along on the command line (something the autogen-generated configure script does not do). The solution is simply to pass it along to the configure script (not --host=cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel, simply cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel). There may be some obscure autoconf feature to prevent it from putting the --no-verify flag into the configure script (why is there even a --no -verify flag???), but I've yet to find one. Anyways, since I've answered my own question, I thought I'd just as well document it. :-) Cheers! -Henrik W Lund ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: plz?
Hi uhmm i cant seen to be able to download bsd can anyone tell me how to download from the ftp server because everytime i try to download the files it fr3zz3$ My computer First, on your local host that will be receiving the files, make sure you are in some place that has enough room for them. A popular error is starting the download and running out of space in the middle. So, presuming you want to download FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE for an i386 type PC, for example: cd big_space_available ftp ftp.freebsd.org log in as 'anonymous' with your Email address as password cd pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.10 binary get 4.10-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso fbsd410.iso ascii get CHECKSUMS.MD5 bye Voila, you should have a copy of the mini-iso ready to burn sitting in your local disk in a file named fbsd.iso. Burn it as a straight data file. Don't try to create an iso from it. It is already an iso. Note, that I like to use the shorter name for the iso file on my local host because it is less to type as I do things with it. You do not have to. Note that you can then run an md5 checksum on the file and compare it to the checksum listed in the CHECKSUMS.MD5 file if you wish and have an md5 utility handy. It is useful to assure yourself that the download was successfully accomplished without error. In FreeBSD, just type: 'md5 fbsd410.iso' (or whatever filename you used) and compare the string with the currect one in the file. If you would rather download the full install images rather than install over the net via ftp with the mini-iso, then just download 4.10-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso and 4.10-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso instead. If you want 5.2.1 instead of 4.10, then replace 4.10 with 5.2.1 in the cd and adjust the file names appropriately on the get command. If your local host machine that will be receiving the files is also a UNIX machine, then you probably don't need the /binary' and 'ascii' commands, but they won't hurt and are good to get in the habit of using. If you are receiving to a Microsloth environment, then you should be sure and use the 'binary' and 'ascii' commands appropriately. This actually does work. jerry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem: cannot install on Dell 400SC
Looks to me as if the SCSI controller card is buggy. Try disabling search other LUNS. OK. I did that with no noticable difference. I did notice, though, in monkeying around that the fdisk did appear to write the boot block. When I let it go on and boot without any CD or floppy in it, the FreeBSD boot record attempted to start and of course, couldn't find a kernel since one hadn't been written. So, I tried again and first had Partition Magic make two slices with a DOS Fat32 on the first and the second unformatted, then had the FreeBSD installer write the FreeBSD MBR and it seemed to do so just fine, even though the newfses still failed on the partitions, so no filesystems were built and nothing installed. When I rebooted, it came up with the typical FreeBSD MBR question F1 - DOS F2 - FreeBSD Hittint F2 made it read the FreeBSD boot block on the second slice. But, of course it couldn't really boot any farther than that because no filesystems or kernel were there. So, it still makes me thing that FreeBSD can talk at least some to that combination of LSIL 53C1030 controller and Fujitsu hard disk. It writes the slice table, label, MBR and boot block. But, then it can't do anything else. Any other [positive] suggestions will be appreciated. jerry BSDBoy -Original Message- Is the SCSI channel terminated properly? What is the LUN of the HDD? The SCSI cable appears to be terminated. It has a terminator block on the end of the cable just past the hard drive. As for the LUN, I think it would be '0' on channel 'B' if I am making sense of the BIOS screen. Once I get that close to the hardware, I am getting out of my level. It has a setting that says scan LUNs greater than 0 and that is set to yes by default. The SCSI itself appears to be set to LUN 7, by the way. jerry BSDBoy Hi, I am hoping someone can give us some clues about this problem. A couple of us have done some searching, but found nothing that bears directly on it. Maybe some different search clues might also help. I am hoping for more than just it won't work, because... but, even a conclusive one of those would get us off the point - which begins to dig in after a while... Sorry this is rather long, but I wanted to include anything that might possibly be relevant. Here goes. One of our sites recently purchased a Dell Poweredge 400SC and wants to run our school district network server system on it. Our system is currently based on FreeBSD 4.9 with some modifications to control the initial installation and aid in system management. We have it running on a number of other Dell Poweredge machines but not this particular model and especially not the LSIL SCSI controller. It has a 2.4G Celeron CPU, 1 GB Memory Planar PE400SC, A/N, 2 Motherboard LSI Logics 53C1030 SCSI controller Fujitsu 36GB MAP337NP SCSI U320, 10K, 68 Pin connector hard drive. + NIC, IDE controller, CDROM, Tape drive, etc. Although this model was not our recommendation, it would look like, on paper, that it should at least, function. But,,, We cannot get any FreeBSD system to install on it, not ours or even a straight FreeBSD 4.9 or 5.2.1 system - and I just tried 4.10 too with the same result. It reads the CD, boots into the sysinstall or our install system just fine. It appears to do the fdisk and disklabel just fine. Then it hangs or appears to hang trying to do the newfs. It puts out the message about writing superblocks and then nothing more comes out - no list of superblocks of any kind, not even the first. I have made up variations on our version of sysinstall with additional messages but have not gotten any information that means anything to me. After a wait of several minutes it writes stuff to the ALT console. If I let it set long enough (hours) it puts out a failed message. I didn't have any MS install media handy, But did have my Partition Magic emergency boot floppies around so I used them to take a look after having attempted to do first our install, then FreeBSD 4.9 and finally FreeBSD 5.2.1. PM quite happily looked at things and recognized the FreeBSD slice (which, of course it called a partition). So, I deleted the slice and created two and used the FreeBSD install CD to attempt to install on the second slice (da0s2) which it seemed happy to do.After checking again with PM and seeing that the new slicing had the FreeBSD id one it I popped in another FreeBSD cd and sysinstall happily read up that label with all the FreeBSD partitions (a,b,e,f,g,h) that I had made. So, FreeBSD can obviously write some part of the disk. But, newfs still would get to writing superblocks and then nothing more happened. That is the thing that seems odd to me. It does write to some part of the disk,
rpc.statd needs a lot of memory?
I am running FreeBSD 4.9. We have several NFS clients and one server. On all machines we are running rpc.statd. I noticed that the size is around 257MB, although res is usually only around 460KB so this isn't a big problem. Why is the size so large though? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Routing question
Perhaps if you post more info, we can come up with creative solutions for you. My big question is why? AFAIK, you cannot have more than one default gateway, unless you are using netgraph to balance between network interfaces. However, you could NAT C D to their respective public interfaces. If E is a real IP, then the NATed traffic should flow to that interface. I would suggest using pf, as it is a most excellent firewall package. Here is the section of a PF guide regarding NAT. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/nat.html Your rules would look like this (these are from memory, so sanity check them): -- #define your interfaces as macros: A = fxp0 B = fxp1 C = fxp2 D = fxp3 E = fxp4 #define your NAT translations using our macros: nat on $A from ($C:network) to any - $A nat on $B from ($D:network) to any - $B #define your filtering rules: ... -- However, you will find that route add will not allow multiple default routes. You must use another package to allow for that, or at least it is beyond my knowledge. Let me know if you figure it out, I would be very interested. Leon Botes wrote: I have a box with 5 nics.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. 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 trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. 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. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

contributing: addition of package
Hi, This question is related to addition of a package (not related to OS or kernel) to freebsd. I read from the contribution page about 'value-added' packages. Is it related only to OS related packages or other s/w's like compilers etc too? I am wondering if this small piece of utility will be of any use: it is a C++ unit test framework, quite flexible, simple, high-quality, and very powerful. Provides many features and capabilites for automated testing. I have tested it for Solaris, linux, and Windows so far (plan to release for bsd this week).

FYI - Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter recognized in FreeBSD 5.2.1 Release
The Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter, model F8T001 (100 meter range), is not in the hardware notes, I thought I'd mention it here: I just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a Dell Inspiron 8100. The Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter mentioned above was recognized as ubt0. Also, 'hccontrol -n ubt0hci inquiry' returns its hardware information, including its BD_ADDR. I'm new to this bluetooth stuff, and I still have to customize the OS, so I haven't gotten any further in testing.

Interrupts crowding
Hello List, maybe this is not realy FreeBSD specific but i hope you can still answer that.

There maybe other copies somewhere, but I think I got most of them. Do I have the config file in the right place? Copy the file '.xinitrc' from root's home directory to the respective user's home directory. This is because every user can have his own desktop, so every user will have to specify one in order not to get the default one. It's also possible to set a system-wide default, but I've never done this. To make it a system-wide default which can be overridden by each user, put a copy of the .xinitrc mentioned above in; /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ but leave off the leading dot '.' Anyway, if you put it in the above directory, it is the default if the user doesn't make their own. If they make their own and put it in their home directory, their own overrides the default. Something like that anyway. I think you can also put the default in etc/X11/ but I am not sure about that. jerry Daniela ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: HTTPtunnel hangs with proxy
My suggestion would be to use tcpdump to examine the data flow. Watch what your browser sends to the http proxy, and then watch what htc sends to it. Probably will be different. Obviously htc thinks it is talking directly to hts, and thus is not speaking proper http proxy protocol. While I know some about how this works, I don't know alot. My guess is that httptunnel is not compatible with an proxies, unless the manpage or other documentation says otherwise, and provides a switch to modify the way it interacts with what it *thinks* is the hts (but is really an http proxy). Hope this is helpful in a general/vague sort of way :-). Robert Eckardt wrote: Hello, has someone got an idea, what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to get httptunnel to work via a proxy. I have observed the following behaviour under FBSD-4.5R as well as under 5.2.1R, with apache-2.0.48_1 as well as with apache-1.3.22_7 and with httptunnel-3.3 as well as with httptunnel-3.0.5. Finally, I reduced it to the following setting: (I tried different options for proxy-buffer size und -timeout without any effect): telnet 127.0.0.1 2023 | htc -F 2023 -P 127.0.0.1:80 127.0.0.1:8080 || httpd (as the proxy and at least my Netscape is happy) || hts -F 127.0.0.1:23 8080 | telnetd After the connect to htc I get no further reaction from telnet. I can send a CR to htc, where it simply sits around. All connections are in state ESTABLISHED, only the one to telnetd does not exist at that time. htc waits in a read for reply from the proxy, while hts at the same time also waits for data from the proxy on the first of two connections. The proxy has two connections open to either htc and hts, but in the Log of hts there is only the first of them noted. (htc sent a POST and a GET and waits now for the reply to the GET. The proxy, however, sent the GET to hts on the second connection, whereas hts waits in a read in the first one.) Only after killing htc the proxy sends its data to hts, which then in turn opens the connection to telnetd and (after stopping hts) closes it again. Has someone out there successfully got such a setting (httptunnel via a proxy) working? How do I get httptunnel to get the proxy to forward the data (POST-request) immediately? Does anyone now of an alternative to httptunnel? (I tried htun-0.9.5 but gave up as it's too hard Linux-style.) Unneccessary to note, but without proxy the connection works fine. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Console and X configuration for laptop display
I installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a Dell Inspiron 8100. During bootup and later, at the command line, the usable screen is much smaller than the available display size -- 2 to 3 inch margins on all sides. Does anyone know how I can fix this? In X, a resolution of 1400x1050 fills the display; but everything, including text in documents, looks really tiny. 1024x768 is my favorite setting for my desktop monitor; but is rejected by X as being too small on the laptop display. Is there a way to make things look bigger while in 1400x1050?

Platforms, OSes,etc.
Hi there. I have a question or two if you folks don't mind. I would like to migrate to a better, more stable OS for surfing, making music and data cd's as well as dvd's, and importing images ( vhs and photo) to cd/dvd. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that Windows is good for is my games, probably because I'm tired of all the bs (crashes,bugs, holes etc.). I have a Gigabyte GA-7VM400M motherboard with an Athelon XP 2400+ (Thorton). My question then is this, What platform do I have (i386, pc98 ? ), and what OS would you recommend for my purposes ( FreeBSD, Red Hat, SUSE?) irregardless of brand names, and multi-boot setups are not a problem. Please respond in non-geek english, and thank you very much for your assistance.. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Version query for a new machine
Hey everyone. After my CPU fan (or was it the hard drive?) spent a day or two screeching constantly at high frequencies (and volume), I finally broke down and ordered a new PC. The problem is what to install on it. The new system is a Dell Dimension 8300, w/P4 @ 3.0 Ghz, HT etc. The video card is a 128M NVidia GeForce, and I want to make sure the sound works, which should be easy enough (SB Live! 5.1). It's gonna be strange after working for years on the same systems at 400-450 Mhz! The real decision isn't whether to install FreeBSD (it *will* be FreeBSD dedicated), but which version? I want it to be reasonably stable, so CURRENT is probably out. I'm running RELENG_4_10 now, which I like just fine, but I'm not sure if this will take advantage of the HT tech in the processor. /usr/src/UPDATING has the following on the subject: Support for HyperThread logical CPUs has now been enabled by default. As a result, the HTT kernel option no longer exists. Instead, the logical CPUs are always started so that they can handle interrupts. However, the extra logical CPUs are prevented from executing user processes by default. To enable the logical CPUs, change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus from 1 to 0. This value can also be set from the loader as a tunable of the same name. I'm not an SMP guru (or even a novice) but that sounds like it will take full advantage if I simply make the specified sysctrl configuration change (finding the sysctrl documentation is tricky enough in itself). I know nobody is going to guarantee their answer to this one, but is RELENG_5_2 reliable enough for a moderately loaded system? If it is, are the gains worth the supposedly lower stability? Would I even notice this, going from a 400Mhz to a 3.0Ghz? I don't put much load on except when upgrading ports, munging photos, etc, but I plan to do some Perl, C/C++ and Java/Tomcat/webapp development on it in the near future, and I'd like to finally be able to compile OpenOffice.org. I may also take it for a test drive with a game or two (particularly if I get wine working), which might push the envelope a bit. If 4.10 is the best route for now, what kind of pain factor will the upgrade to 5.x be when the time comes? I typically keep over 300 ports installed, so I expect that alone will be kinda ugly to work with (See the corrolary to Murphy at the bottom). Since I haven't got the system yet (about 10 days out), I'd like to have an idea where to start *before* I get it - once I do, it will be too late to plan, because I'll probably just stop thinking objectively until I have it up and running.

I have configured my xserver and it seems to be working ok. I read the the FreeBSD Handbook and found little about adding users or groups. 1) Do I add a group before a user? 2) Other than sysinstall to add a user, is there anything else I need to do to configure a regular (notsuperuser) (Keeping in mind to copy .xsession and .xinitrc to that user's dir.)

Re: New Question
The depth of my unix ignorance is showing... I kept getting a glitch, probably from my bad install attempt. I wiped my HD and re-installed FreeBSD with what I have learned. I have configured my xserver and it seems to be working ok. I read the the FreeBSD Handbook and found little about adding users or groups. 1) Do I add a group before a user? Yes. Probably to the appropriate group before you add a user whose primary group will be that one. You can, but you do not need to make a separate group for each user. You may want to use the group ID to make categories of users who can work together, for example. You can create a group just by editing the /etc/group file. Copy one of the existing group lines and edit it with a different name and number. You can use regular vi(1) for editing the group file. Don't use any numbers below 100, and I suggest starting at with 200 or even 1000 as a good round number. Give you some room to play after you get big ideas about some project - and you are sure to do so if you stick around long enough. 2) Other than sysinstall to add a user, is there anything else I need to do to configure a regular (notsuperuser) (Keeping in mind to copy .xsession and .xinitrc to that user's dir.) There are various utilities to add users. adduser(8) is probably the best known. Or you can just use vipw to edit the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files directly and then create the correct home directory and such by hand if you really want to get the feel of UNIX. Do not edit either /etc/passwd or /etc/master.passwd with any other editing tool. vipw makes sure locks are handled and that the database is properly updated. Also, as with groups, do not use any UID numbers below 100 and starting at at least 200 or 1000 is a good idea. UIDs and GIDs below 100 are reserved for various standard usages. jerry Thanx in advance! Later, Leon A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

I will have about 6 users (not all at once) DO I add a group before users? Will it be to my benefit down the road to make a group now? Every 'thing' in Unix should be a user and belong to a group. These are basically numbers: user-ID and group-ID. So everytime you add a user to the system, that user will also get a group-ID. On my system I am user 1001, and in group 1005. The files /etc/passwd and /etc/group map these numbers to nice names. On my system these numbers map to the user-group names lahaye and surfion, for example. These user-IDs and group-IDs are the essential part of permissions in Unix. Permissions that (dis)allow a user to view or execute files; to browse directries etc. etc. Do an ls -l and you see to which user/group the files and directories belong. E.g: $ ls -l .xsession -rwxr-xr-x 1 lahaye surfion 613 Apr 10 19:58 .xsession (As an aside, sometimes, by mistake, files or directories have a user or group ID that is not listed in /etc/passwd and/or /etc/group; in that case the system cannot do the mapping to nice names, and you get the bare numbers!). The user/group concept clarify who can access what. For example, there is you, your family members, and the big world outside. Say you add yourself as user=leon, group=ellis Then add your brother, father etc. as user=john, group=ellis user=dad, group=ellis When you create a file, you then decide who can access this file. 1) Only you (none of the family members, neither the outside world) 2) You and all family members 3) Everybody (you, family and everybody else) To make things a little more complicated: you can specify this separately for 'reading', 'writing', and 'executing'. See the chmod command for details. This is a starting point for learning more on the basics of Unix and its files/directories permission strategy.

I will have about 6 users (not all at once) DO I add a group before users? Will it be to my benefit down the road to make a group now? Groups are used for, well, grouping users. Which is kind of opaque, but true. Basically it has to do with Unix's permission scheme. When you ls -l a file you'll se something like this: -rwxrwxrwx 1 mnavarre mnavarre 4542 Dec 15 2002 yaptu.py ^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^ permissions ownergroup size date fname Notice the permissions repeat the rwx sequence three times, they stand for read, write and execute, each set of letters controls access to the file for a diffetent class of users, user group or other. these are considered in that order, i.e. if a user tries to write a file first the owner permissions are considered, if they allow writing the file is written and we don't look at the other permissions, if not we move on to the group permissions if the user belongs to the group and there is group write permission file is written, we stop, etc., if not we move on to the other permissions, this encompases all users who didn't fall into the first two classes. Keep in mind that many people can belong to one group, that's what they're for. You can have a group for a project and put all the users involved in that project in a group and use the group permissions to control access to those files. What most people do is make a group for each user that only they belong to and have that be their main group. users can then be added to other groups, and new groups can be added as need arises. This is kind of brief, and maybe not that helpful, but it's a start. You'll also want to read the chmod(1) man page and the Handbook sections on permissions: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/permissions.html And on Users and account magement: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users.html It might take a bit to get your head around, but you will.

In X, a resolution of 1400x1050 fills the display; but everything, including text in documents, looks really tiny. 1024x768 is my favorite setting for my desktop monitor; but is rejected by X as being too small on the laptop display. Is there a way to make things look bigger while in 1400x1050? Thanks, Andrew Gould In some cheaper laptops, like this POS I've got, there isn't really a way to get rid of that blank space around the edges, short of digging into vesa and some other console options. I've made some mild attempts to get that configured, but I figure I use X 99% of the time, so I use a virtual console within that for most of my work. On some better laptops, like your Dell, iirc, there should be a key combination, or BIOS setting to 'stretch' that resolution to fill the screen. Usually, it is a Fn+F(1-12) combination that does it, many times undocumented. If I remember correctly, I've gotten Dell's to stretch their resolution with Fn+F7, but I could be wrong. Poke around Dell's support site and see what you can find. HTH -- Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry, and the world WILL turn. Fn+F7 did the trick!

The box has been online for awhile, yet it seems like the swap file is not utilized very much at all. For that matter, the server is clearly overpowered for what it does, but better than underpowered I suppose. It's only too much until you actually need to use it ;-) For example, if you have 2GB of memory then you need a 2GB swap file in order to take a kernel crash dump, if you ever run into a kernel bug. You only have ~1GB of RAM in that machine at the moment, so you might be tempted to conclude that you have 1GB too much swap, but what if you decide to add another 1GB of RAM in 6 months time? You'd have to reinstall that disk to make room. Kris P.S. Please wrap your lines at 70 characters so your emails may be easily read. pgptIkwYb4ixO.pgp Description: PGP signature
