To date i've only used cdrecord to make either audio .wav disks or data disks, make an iso, then burn that iso to disk. I'm wondering if there's a howto on mp3 burning? Do you want to burn them as .mp3, so that any application like xmms or winamp can play them? Then its simply mkisofs/cdrecord, as you already know. When you want to listen to them in an ordinary CD-Player, well, you need to convert the mp3 to .wav format first, then burn an audio CD. I use xmms to write mp3 -wav , simply hit the button on top left, then choose options, audio i/o-plugins, theres a disk writer plugin similar to that in winamp. then: cdrecord -dao -pad ~/BURN/*wav or similar...

I think that blaming perl for the failure of your system to start up is probably not correct. Perl has nothing to do with the early stages of booting, and your system should certainly be able to get to at least single-user mode, and I'd be very surprised indeed if you could use perl to freeze the whole boot process unless you deliberately set out to do something like that. You might freeze a single process, but you can usually just hit Ctrl-C to kill it and carry on booting the rest of the system. You don't actually need to reboot after installing perl and running 'use.perl port' -- once you've done that all you need do is restart any long running perl processes (if any) and you're home and dry. Without much more detail, like how far through the boot process you can get and exactly what you see on the screen when the system freezes, it's going to be impossible to say for certain what the problem is. However, at a guess, for problems experienced during boot I'd be far more suspicious of things like ACPI or APIC. If something like that is the problem, you should be able to boot in 'safe mode', and then look into setting some sysctl(8)s from loader.conf to turn that functionality on or off during the default boot sequence. Search the FreeBSD mailing list archives for examples -- there's been plenty of discussion on this sort of topic on the freebsd-current list for example.

piespy on freebsd 4.10-release.
hi! has anyone here successfully installed piespy (link further down) in a 4.10(-release) enviroment? it needs java, and a paragraph on the piespy page says: If you run PieSpy in a non-graphical environment (e.g. a Unix console that does not have access to an X server) you will need to pass the following command line parameter to java: -Djava.awt.headless=true. Note that PieSpy may not function properly on FreeBSD. This is because Java on FreeBSD handles floating point calculations incorrectly. i indeed plan to use it from the console on my server. neither piespy og java has been installed at this point, because i'd like some feedback on it first. so, what do you guys and girls think? is this floating point calculations thing still a problem? ++ link til piespy: http://www.jibble.org/piespy/ ++ thanks in advance for any input. -- with regards, christian astrup bakke // chasm. http://chasm.nu/ - chasm at chasm dot nu pgp key id: 0xF0FB7BB7 pgp fp: 9EB1 AA42 1142 2A7C CD24 65CA 584E 537C F0FB 7BB7 (scanned with norton antivirus 2004) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To do this, you set up procmail from ports and then rewrite the sendmail.mc

Dynalink tablet (AceCad) pointer initialization problem
Hi, I have a serial Dynalink pen tablet (which in fact is an AceCad tablet), with initialization problems. I must change my XFree86-4 XF86Config to Option ProtocolAuto then start X, try the pen and wait for /var/log/XFree86.0.log to report (II) Mouse autoprobe: selecting MMSeries protocol Then I can exit X, switch the protocol Auto in XF86Config back into Option ProtocolMMSeries start X again and all is fine. Until the next reboot that is. If I do not use this trick to get things right the pointer immediately goes to the upper left corner and stays there. The buttons all work OK. This is on 5.2.1-RELEASE, with XFree86-4.3.0,1 (and XFree86-Server-4.3.0_14 , XFree86-clients-4.3.0_8 , XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_7) The relevant XF86Config sections are: Section InputDevice Identifier Pen1 Driver mouse Option ProtocolMMSeries #Option ProtocolAuto Option Device /dev/cuaa1 Option BaudRate 9600 Option FlowControl None EndSection and Section ServerLayout ... InputDevice Pen1 AlwaysCore ... EndSection Adding things like Option Vmin 1 Option Vtime 0 Option Parity Odd Option DataBits 8 Option StopBits 1 or Option Parity None Option DataBits 8 Option StopBits 2 to the InputDevice section does not help in initializing the tablet. I also modified rc.d/serial to set cuaia1 and cuala1 to 9600 baud (copying the mouse example of 1200 baud) but this does not help. I have no idea what to try next.

Re: burning mp3's
Simple question probably, i want to burn about 690 mb of mp3's to disk. To date i've only used cdrecord to make either audio .wav disks or data disks, make an iso, then burn that iso to disk. I'm wondering if there's a howto on mp3 burning? Do you want to burn them as .mp3, so that any application like xmms or winamp can play them? Then its simply mkisofs/cdrecord, as you already know. When you want to listen to them in an ordinary CD-Player, well, you need to convert the mp3 to .wav format first, then burn an audio CD. There are some mp3 players like a 'discman' that are able to play mp3 music (plus normal CDs and VCDs)... I guess it was the question, not to burn an ISO with mp3 files or convert mp3 music to wav/44100:16:stereo format... I've never tried one of those players of CDs with mp3... but anyway, I'd like to ask... Is there a format specific to burn CDs with mp3 that are playable by such devices? or it is a normal and simple ISO with mp3 files together maybe in a single root directory?

That works fine. But I want someone on 192.168.1.247 to ALSO be redirected to 192.168.2.250:80 when they request the public address 1.2.3.4:80. Put another way, I have a FreeBSD server acting as a Router/Firewall. It has a public interface with an IP number of 1.2.3.4 and is assigned the DNS name www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com. It also has a second NIC that supports a private address space of 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 and a third NIC that supports a private address space of 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 When someone from the Internet tries to reach www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com they get redirected to 192.168.2.250 because I've included a redirect_port rule for NATD. This works fine. But, users on all private networks (I have two, but there could be 20) also need to be redirected to 192.168.2.250 when they try to go to www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com So the user sitting at 192.168.1.247 shouldn't have to worry about putting in the IP number of the company web server, they should just be able to put in the company domain name (www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com) and be redirected to 192.168.2.250 just like anyone coming from the outside. You need to post more info about your system config. Post the full contents of your rc.conf and firewall rules files. My rc.conf file is properly configured and has no bearing on my question. My gateway works fine from public to private IP space and private to public IP space. I've tried so many combination of rules and NATD options that I wouldn't know what to post. What I need is someone who has completed a similar configuration to send me their configuration (change the IP numbers if you like). From what I can see, I don't believe this is possible with stateful rules. Let me add that I've been successful with stateless rules, but I'd like to use 100% stateful if possible.

Try starting dhclient with the -v option, and post the output please. I recently had similar problems with FreeBSD 5.2.1. My network card was working fine, dhclient kept sending out DHCPDISCOVER packets, but no offers were received. The problem was caused by my cable modem: it cached the MAC address of the NIC of my regular computer, and when I plugged in my FreeBSD box things went wrong because it had another NIC. The problem was solved by clearing the cache of my cable modem. On most cable modems this can be accomplished by yanking out the power supply, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in ;) .

backup via dump to remote machine(5.2.1)
Not sure if you've got an answer on this yet ... but better late than never ... as I just had to figure this out today. This answer applies if you executing your dump command as root. dumping to a remote tape drive involves using rmt. rmt is executed via rsh on the remote. By default many systems don't allow root access via rsh out of the box. On Red Hat Linux you can enable it by adding the line rsh (without the quotes) to /etc/securetty. This file contains the devices that root is allowed to logon. Note enabling root access via rsh could open a security hole on your machine unless its well protected. So understand the ramifications of this change before applying it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Again, the configuration is de0 = PUBLIC IP = 1.2.3.4 de1 = 192.168.1.1 de2 = 192.168.2.1 I don't have a problem with incoming requests for 1.2.3.4:80 from the Internet being redirected to 192.168.2.250. That works fine. But I want someone on 192.168.1.247 to ALSO be redirected to 192.168.2.250:80 when they request the public address 1.2.3.4:80. Put another way, I have a FreeBSD server acting as a Router/Firewall. It has a public interface with an IP number of 1.2.3.4 and is assigned the DNS name www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com. It also has a second NIC that supports a private address space of 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 and a third NIC that supports a private address space of 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 When someone from the Internet tries to reach www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com they get redirected to 192.168.2.250 because I've included a redirect_port rule for NATD. This works fine. But, users on all private networks (I have two, but there could be 20) also need to be redirected to 192.168.2.250 when they try to go to www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com So the user sitting at 192.168.1.247 shouldn't have to worry about putting in the IP number of the company web server, they should just be able to put in the company domain name (www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com) and be redirected to 192.168.2.250 just like anyone coming from the outside. It seems to me that the best way to handle this is through DNS. Hosts within your LAN should find www.ishouldhaveusedipfilter.com to 192.168.2.250 instead of 1.2.3.4. Typically, you would have an externally visible DNS server which is authorititave for your domain; and which lists only the publicly visible machines and IP addresses. (It should -NOT- handle referrals at all.) Somewhere within your LAN you would have another DNS server that is authoritative for your internal domain and IP range. It may handle referrals; but it is safer to have a completely separate DNS server which just handles referrals (and possibly caches results) - it should be explicitly told to use your LAN's authoritative server for your domain and IP range. With this setup, outside machines see the public address, which is redirected via your firewall/NAT rules; but internal machines see the internal address and access it directly. -Pat ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: file system setup for new system - recommendations?
I'm not as experienced as many others on this list, some of whom have already given you their advice. But, I have used FreeBSD for many years and will gladly share what I think I have figured out about these topics with you. Your planned usage sounds alot like the way I use FreeBSD. I use it as a mail server, Mailman list server, Samba file server and a web server for my personal use. All I can say about a 120GB is, that's a ton of space. I have been using somewhere around 10G with about 40% free for years. I recently upgraded my failing SCSI drive with a 20G IDE. And, I have plenty of space for doing what I want to do (and what it sounds like you want to do). The only thing that I wish I had was more room to do backups. But, as someone else mentioned, you really don't have to backup anything other your config files and your personal data (unless you want to backup other boxes to it). Now, about dividing it up. I can speak from experience that you want /var on its own partition. It is where alot of log files and public ftp space goes. If it fills up, you can easily recover from it. And, mine has done it. Don't worry too much about monitoring that. You will get a nice email from your box telling you if /var filled up. The other directory that tends to grow is /usr. This is where all of your /home, /www and /ports directories are. In other words, you put alot of stuff in /usr. I never put anything in /root. So, once the system is built it is nearly 100% static. I hardly have to touch my FreeBSD box. It pretty much just runs and runs. So, whenever I do something like add a drive or replace a drive or something like that, I always have to go back and re-read up on how to do it. So, I would recommend that whenever you use programs that you don't tend to use very often like disklabel to partition or newfs, make good notes to yourself and keep them somewhere like /usr/local/www/HOWTO. One more suggestion. Make learning portupgrade one of your first tasks. It's a little awkward at first. But, keeping your box up to date and adding new programs is easier that way. Finally, back to what you really wanted to know, since you have plenty of space, I would do something like what I have (see below) but with a larger /usr and an additional /backup partition that was large enough to do your backups (roughly the size of /usr + cushion). Notice that my / is only 52M, /tmp is 3.8M and /var is 81M. My /hd2 is a small scsi drive that I do backups on. And, /usr is where I use all of my space. So, if you doubled my /, /tmp and /var and split the remainder between /backup and /usr, I think you would be in good shape. Oh, and BTW, my /usr wouldn't be so big if it just contained FreeBSD stuff. But, I copied all of my mp3's from my Windows box there for backup reasons. I think that accounts for close to 4G of the 5.5G it is using. scsibox# df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 190M52M 123M30%/ /dev/da0s1e 3.5G 339M 2.9G10%/hd2 /dev/ad0s1e 139M 3.8M 124M 3%/tmp /dev/ad0s1g18G11G 5.5G67%/usr /dev/ad0s1f 242M81M 142M36%/var Good luck.

A Reference says keep the root section small, another says include /usr and /var in root, there's a discussion of the relative speed of the outside of a spinning HD to the middle of the HD, there's not an agreement on the size of the swap space, and, as I said, I'm confused. Here's where I am, and I would appreciate your collective comments. I'm persuaded to use 1026MB for swap, 8GB for root (/), 30GB for /backup tars, and the remainder for /home. The

Swappable Hard drives?
Soon I will have two identical 120GB IDE HDs in my FBSD 4.10 system. One is to be basically a backup drive. Can I write a MBR to the second HD and then swap cables when I want to boot/run the system from the backup HD, assuming I've used pax or dump to make the file systems identical? The normal configuration will be both drives installed, but I would like to be able to swap the cables (or change the boot sequence in the BIOS) and boot off of the second HD. Both drives will be masters on different IDE controllers. There will be no other operating system on the computer, but in the future I hope to use samba to copy files in and out to Windows XP Pro computers on my LAN.
