I dunno about all this other stuff, but to me, *THIS* looks like you

have the IDE-SCSI module installed.

The IDE-SCSI module fools the OS into believing your IDE CDRW device is
really a SCSI device.
Without that, cdrecord can't work, since it works through the SCSI 
interface.

Under RedHat, you would find/download/install the ide-scsi software, and
then do insmod ide-scsi
You might also need to make some devices /dev/pg0 etc -- It's all in an
FAQ somewheres for cdrecord.
I gather from my minimal experience with FreeBSD that you'd be doing
something more like pkgload (?) but the principle remains the same:  You
need a module to fool the OS into believing your CD/DVD burner is SCSI
when it's not, or cdrecord simply won't talk to it.

cd0: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6112 1031 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device

This, however, indicates that it *IS* a SCSI device...
And its number is 0
In which case, I would start with:
cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -data whatever.iso

TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6112 1031at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0, cd0)

Whoops!
Also try:
cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -data whatever.iso
as it seems to be on bus 1.
Do all of this as 'root'  If you can get it to work as root, then 
evaluate
how badly you need it to work for other users, and what holes you open
up to do so.

I am logged in as root. Tried cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -data (it is on bus 1)
but I get the same error message. Also, tried setting the permissions
on acd* cd* xpt* pass* devices in /dev. No change. I really get this
feeling the OS thinks it is a read-only drive.
When FreeBSD is installed, it gets some information from the BIOS.
Lots of important stuff like the geometry of your hard drive, etc.
If the BIOS is reporting this wrong or not the same way FreeBSD
see a device, things can break. Is there a flag somewhere I can
flip so that the OS know it can write to this device (the DVD-RW)?

RE: ISDN Jack Installation

2004-09-05 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt
Hi Evan,

  Let me just clear up some misconceptions here on ISDN.

  Dual channel dialup BRI ISDN is 128kbt/sec both directions, not 64k.  ISDN
channels on either a BRI or PRI ISDN can be either voice, or data, or both.
It is
a circuit-based, not a packet-based service, which makes it extremely
useful for certain applications.  Videoconferencing being one of them.
It can also run an indefinite distance from the telephone central office,
because the CO can install repeaters on an ISDN line.  Because the line
is a digital line, telephone calls over it have superior voice quality
than ones over an analog line.

  ISDN isn't as popular for data use these days because it is not as
fast as cable or DSL.  But, cable isn't in all areas and neither is
DSL.  ISDN by contrast reaches something like 99% of the subscribers
in the United States.  If your new house is out in the boondocks, ISDN
may be the only faster-than-dialup connection you can get.

  ISDN PRI's delivered in the United States are delivered on T1 interfaces
and are typically not used in a home so I will say nothing further about
them.  ISDN BRI circuits as delivered in the United States are delivered on
a single pair comprising a U interface.  The only difference between an
ISDN
jack and a regular Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) jack in the U.S. is
that
ISDN jacks are RJ45 jacks, POTS jacks are RJ11.  But the only reason that
the
telephone company uses RJ45 jacks is so that a telephone company technician
on site can immediately identify that the jack is a special service jack.
It is a telephone company standard to use RJ45 for anything that is not a
POTS
connection.  There is absolutely no electrical requirement that ISDN uses
a RJ45 jack, and RJ11 jack will work fine.  There is also no electrical
difference
in the cable requirements for ISDN vs POTS.  ISDN in the United States uses
exactly the same number of conductors in the cable as POTS so there is no
need to run extra pairs.

  My advice to you since your having a house built is for your installer
to run plastic interduct to all the rooms for data cable.  Interduct is like
a small flexible vacuum hose.  It is very cheap.  The usual procedure in a
home is to run regular old strings inside the interduct, run the interduct,
making sure to use large radius bends in the interduct,
then drywall.  In this way if some idiot makes a mistake and drives a
nail or screw into the interduct it will not penetrate a cable.  Once
the drywall is up, an installer can come along later and tie cables and
more string to the existing string, then pull the existing string to draw
the new cable and string through the interduct.  Or if you do not want to
rig that particular room, you can just leave the string only in there
for future use.  And even if the string breaks an installer can snake
a fishtape through the interduct to pull cable.

  Run all the interduct in a hub-and-spoke fashion, with it all terminating
at a single location, such as the garage or utility closet.  Make sure
that there is at least an electrical power outlet at that location, and
make sure that there is an interduct from that location to the telephone
company MPOE on the outside of the house.

  Nobody knows what future cable will be designed and used.  It is rather
foolish in my opinion to merely run cat-3 phone-grade cable or even cat-5
data-grade cable in a new house, when you can run interduct much cheaper
then
pull as many cables and as different types of cables as you need later on.
You may want to run tv cable, you may want to run alarm cable, in addition
to ethernet and voice cable.

Ted

 Hello-
 My new house is currently being built, and I am wondering if I should

 once the walls are up and I actually want an ISDN connection.  What do
 the people who install it have to do to get is upstairs when they
 install it, is it difficult?  How is an ISDN line added, and can I do

Swap file errors on 4 GB drive.

2004-09-05 Thread W. D.
Hi folks,

I tried to install FreeBSD 4.9 on a computer with
a 4 GB drive, but it killed the kernel when it
got a swap file error.

I put in an 8 GB drive an everything went smoothly.

Any ideas on how to avoid error when installing 
to smaller drives?

By the way, I've been refining some notes of mine
and consolidated them into a procedure to install
FreeBSD.  Your constructive comments would be 
appreciated:

Yes.  Yesterday morning, I cvsup'd as usual and everything happened to

dumping.  What ever is triggering this appears to be quite subtle, and
it's not affecting anything else that does similar jobs with the ports
system.

 The one I found was, on 090104 I did a portupgrade of portmanager. I 
 also had portsman installed (probablu inconsequential). I did a 
 make deinstall of portmanager and portsman. After that 
 portversion -rRvc worked, ruby18 was no longer seg faulting. I 
 suspect the problem had something to do with the upgrade of 
 portmanger.

As you say, removing portsmanager and portsman was probably
inconsequential.

Unfortunately there's not a lot that can be done except to provide any
debugging info that developers ask for and to remain patient.

Finding MAC Addresses on bridge interfaces

2004-09-05 Thread Mark Mumby
Hi,
I am running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE as a bridging ipfw firewall. What i
would like to know is how to get the mac addresses of the upsteam and
downstream neighbors (mac addresses of devices either side of the
bridge) showing what interface they appear on.
 
Using arp -a seems to associate the mac addresses with the interface
that is configured with the management ip address 
 
ie
LAN A
|
 rl0 192.168.4.200
|
 bridge
|
  xl0 un-numbered
|
LAN B
 
When i do a arp -a, addresses on LAN B say they are on rl0 not xl0.
 
 
Thanks

Problems using USB-devices in 5.2.1

2004-09-05 Thread Keatis
Hello.

I've encountered a problem using USB Flash drives and USB HDD.

I have 2 PCs, first - Intel Pentium PII 233MHz on LX chipset with Intel USB 
controller, USB1.0 (let's call this pc1),

and second - Intel Pentium Xeon 2.4GHz (E7505 Chipset based server) with SCSI, 
LSILogic MegaRAID controllers (LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320 v1.04, HA -0 (Bus 3 Dev 2) 
Standard FW 1L19) and Intel 82801DB USB controller, USB1.0. There is also 4 SCSI HDDs 
(two Maxtor Atlas10K 35Gb and two 70Gb) in two RAID 1 arrays - amrd0 and amrd1 
respectively. BIOS - PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0 (let's call this pc2).

FreeBSD-5.2.1-RELEASE is installed on both pc1 and pc2 (using GENERIC kernel).
Thus,
device scbus
device da
device pass
device uhci
device ohci
device ehci
device usb
device umass
are present in kernel config. And usbd_enabled=yes in rc.conf.
Systems are fresh-installed and no configs were changed on both PCs.

USB-Drives using on pc1 is problemless. usbd is reporting on 1st console attach/detach 
actions, umassX and daX devices are created properly, then, mount - is no question, it 
works fine.

But, the problem is pc2.
When i attach either Flash-drive, or USB HDD, usbd keeps silence and doesn't report 
anything. So umass and da devices (or smth else) are NOT created. And so, i can't use 
any usb-drives at all. Usb mouse is working fine and usbd tells its words on 1st 
console when i detach mouse.

Can't figure out what's wrong, so i want ask you to help to solve this problem.
Posting in BSD-forums and maillists, reading mans, docs, howtos and handbooks, talking 
with bsd-admins didn't give me any solution.

In addition,
(from pc2)
uname -a is FreeBSD xx.xx.xx 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Sun Sep  5 
00:59:48 MSD 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GOLD  i386

Yes, kernel here is not GENERIC, but GOLD. GOLD is just a GENERIC kernel recompiled 
with device acpi on someone's advice. But it didn't solve any problem, the behaviour 
of the system is the same as with GENERIC.

Re: gbde blackening feature - how can on disk keys be destroyed thoroughly?

2004-09-05 Thread Poul-Henning Kamp
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], David Kreil writes:

 On a modern disk there is no sequence of writes that will guarantee
 you that your data is iretriveable lost.
 Even if you rewrite a thousand times, you cannot guard yourself against
 the sector being replaced by a bad block spare after the first write.

Good point. In the rare chance event that this happens, it would indeed be bad 
news as an attacker would then only have to scan the bad blocks for possible 
copies of the key.

He still has no way of recognizing the key though...

A simple improvement on the present situation would already be if
the keys were not overwritten with zeros but with random bits. I
don't know how difficult it would be to attempt to physically write
random bits multiple times but it would much strengthen the feature
apart from the rare cases when the sectors of the masterkey have
been remapped into bad blocks.

Please read the paper, there is a reason why it is zero bits.

What do you think? Is the required effort disproportional to the
intended value of the blackening feature?

Blackening adds no significant incremental security imo, on the
other hand it is feasible to implement it, so I've put it on the
todo list.

Re: sendmail ignores hosts.allow

2004-09-05 Thread Rich Winkel
Can anyone confirm this behavior on their machine?  Doing an
ldd /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail shows:
/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail:
libutil.so.3 = /usr/lib/libutil.so.3 (0x280fd000)
libwrap.so.3 = /usr/lib/libwrap.so.3 (0x28106000)
libssl.so.3 = /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 (0x2810e000)
libcrypto.so.3 = /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x2813e000)
libc.so.4 = /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x2823e000)
so it's clearly linked with libwrap.  What's going on here??

According to Rich Winkel:

  AFAIK, no. Could you post your hosts.allow? Are you using sendmail from 
  the base system?
 
 Hi, sorry I was burnt out from lack of sleep and beating my head

 I just put (as an example):
 sendmail : 127.0.0.1 : deny

 kill and restart sendmail (just in case) and do a
 telnet localhost 25
 and it still connects:

Support for the new multi-layer DVD burners?

2004-09-05 Thread Tom Parquette
I'm currently running 5-CURRENT but I'm heading for 5-STABLE.
I've noticed the new DVD burners that support multi-layer (at least 
that is what today's Best Buy ad calls them) DVDs.

Since it doubles the capacity, and my first application would be to back 
machines up, I've been watching the mailing lists since I first became 
aware of them.

I'm leaning towards a USB or Firewire connected external unit (again to 
move the device from machine to machine for backup) but I have not seen 
anything on FreeBSD support for the devices.  I searched the mailing 
list archives but could not find anything.

Can someone clue me in on these devices and FreeBSD support for both 
internal and external drives?

TIA...

Re: gbde blackening feature - how can on disk keys be destroyed thoroughly?

2004-09-05 Thread David Kreil

Dear Poul-Henning,

  On a modern disk there is no sequence of writes that will guarantee
  you that your data is iretriveable lost.
  Even if you rewrite a thousand times, you cannot guard yourself against
  the sector being replaced by a bad block spare after the first write.
 
 Good point. In the rare chance event that this happens, it would indeed be
 bad 
 news as an attacker would then only have to scan the bad blocks for possible 
 copies of the key.
 
 He still has no way of recognizing the key though...

Right, he'd have to try them all.

 A simple improvement on the present situation would already be if
 the keys were not overwritten with zeros but with random bits. I
 don't know how difficult it would be to attempt to physically write
 random bits multiple times but it would much strengthen the feature
 apart from the rare cases when the sectors of the masterkey have
 been remapped into bad blocks.
 
 Please read the paper, there is a reason why it is zero bits.

Sorry, forgot.

 What do you think? Is the required effort disproportional to the
 intended value of the blackening feature?
 
 Blackening adds no significant incremental security imo,

From a security point of vie, yes. From a social/civil-liberties/legal point 
of view, I felt it was an excellent thing to have.

 on the
 other hand it is feasible to implement it, so I've put it on the
 todo list.

That's great, thanks a lot!

With best regards,

David.

Mozilla linuxpluginwrapper

2004-09-05 Thread Jason Dusek
Yesterday, I built the linuxpluginwrapper without error. However, Mozilla seems 
to have trouble loading the plugins:

  LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library

  [Shared object libpthread.so.0 not found,

  LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
  /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so

But the libraries seem to be on my system, in /usr/compat/linux:
   locate libpthread.so.0  locate libc.so.6
  /usr/compat/linux/lib/libpthread.so.0
  /usr/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6
This is probably something more general than a flash or mozilla problem - 
presumable there is something I need to know about Linux libraries that I don't 
understand yet.

Depinguinator and sysinstall

2004-09-05 Thread Jeremias Reith
Hi,
I am currently trying to install 5.2.1 remotely on a server using the 
depinguinator ( http://www.daemonology.net/depenguinator/ ).

It boots without problems but I am unable to install a FreeBSD using 
sysinstall.

sysinstall does not create slices and lables. If I commit my settings 
I'll get an error for each partition that it does not exist (Error: 
/dev/ad0s1x does not exsist).

But there is no problem in doing it manually with fdisk and disklabel.
For this reason I tried to mount everything in /mnt and told sysinstall 
to use /mnt as base path (expert mode) but the installation uses /usr 
instead of /mnt/usr. This will cause a failure because /usr is a mem disk.

As there any other way in installing FreeBSD semi-manually?
Thx,
Jeremias Reith

 The thing is that RealPlayer, Adobe, flash, and etc. or all linux apps. I 
 think the wrapper is just as important as the x-wrapper is to run as 
 non-root. 
 
 When I installed it, and followed the instructions, I could use acrobat, and 
 some of the flash/shockwave stuff in both konqueror and mozilla. Realplay 
 never showed up in the plugin list for mozilla but I can go to a site that 
 has *.ram files and click them and hear the music.
 
  Konqueror is really anal when it comes to getting rid of kmplayer as the 
 defautl. I can also visit the same site as mozilla and play the *.ram files.
 
 The thing is that I moved rpnp.so into so many places that I don't know what 
 made mozilla work. I got the idea from the links in the about plugin link on 
 mozilla  help. It was basically any place that locate claimed to be a 
 mozilla plugin directory. It was finally - well, I give up, let see what it 
 does and it worked. I don't have a clue what fixed it because I was looking

Where to find jw on FreeBSD?

2004-09-05 Thread Matt Emmerton
I've working on an open source project that recent went through a
documentation frenzy and now we have a bunch of SGML (XML) docs that we
reguarly convert to HTML and PDF.

The person that usually does this runs RedHat and uses a project called 'jw'
(jadewrapper) which is a nice front-end to all the docbook2xxx routines.

I'm trying to do this on FreeBSD, and have docbook, jade and sgmltools
installed from ports yet none of them include 'jw'.

I know I can use the docbook2xxx routines, but was just wondering if there
is a port that contains 'jw' or if this is a Linux/RedHat-only script?

Thanks,

Here is some info http://glozer.net/soekris/cf-install.html
Looking at http://www.pretec.com/index2/product/SSD/IDE_Flash_Drive.htm 
the transfer speeds are very fast.

Checking http://www.simpletech.com/flash/flash_prox.php will show 
reliability of write/erase endurance at 100,000 cycles.  For data 
storage and just reading 1s and 0s flash lasts a very long time.  Just 
don't write to them as a swap file or you could kill it real quick. 

For a flash drive like the usb san disk, it shows up just as a scsi.  If 
you need a swap drive you should think about a md in ram or mount a fs 
after boot and make it sawp.  Like an extra partion on a 80 gig drive.

Retrieving audio from memory

2004-09-05 Thread clayton rollins
OK, funny one.
I accidentally deleted a media file... However, I did have the file
opened in kaboodle.
The file appears to be intact in memory; I can listen to it from
start to finish. Kaboodle, unfortunately, doesn't have any save
feature, so that's out.
I'm wondering if there is some way I could hack in and read
the file out of memory. (I have root access, and am comfortable
with reading directly from memory.)
Lacking that, is there any tool that could capture the audio
as it plays out the card?
Though I worry about loss of audio quality, looping the
sound card output back to an input might be a possibility.
Anyone have ideas on that?
TIA,

R200 Microcode detection not correct?

2004-09-05 Thread jason
   I have had problems with getting dri working in the past, and still 
do, so I started going through code for my video card and related 
stuff.  I found that tracking current caused the line about loading the 
r200 microcode for my radeon driver to go and come in my dmesg.  Right 
now I have 5.3beta3, I plan to stay with 5.3 release for a while, and 
the line is missing.  I don't beleive I have ever been able to run with 
dri loaded on my nforce 2 board and a radeon 8500.  But now I can use 
agp instead of pci mode and run xorg.  If I load dri with agp my system 
now gets to the wm stage and my monitor's osd tells me it has switched 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I get a black screen with some colors at the top and 
the mouse stays functionail but my keyboard seems to die.  I check very 
thoroughly and there was no Xorg.0.log made for the run when dri was 
loaded.  I only checked for the long once and crashed it by loading dri 
twice.  I'll try to get a log if it is needed.  The power button is set 
to shutdown with acpi on, it works half the time.  Maybe this was 
responcable for me not finding a long of the crash?
   My question is could this be related to the wrong microcode being 
loaded?  I know I have a r200, its even in the Xorg.0.log and pciconf 
that I have a r200.  Is there anyone that has experince on this that 
could give me a hint?  Should I make a pr for this?

Re: R200 Microcode detection not correct?

2004-09-05 Thread jason
I added a line of code to get some info about whats going on. 

DRM_INFO(Loading radeon_cp_microcode, not the R200\n);
Do I need do a build world to install this?  I remeber the radeon 
modules used to be in a folder where you could just type make install to 
install the them by their selves if you updated/hacked them.  I don't 
see a makefile in the folder so this is why I ask, and make says no 
target to make.

MBR problem with FreeBSD 5.3 beta

2004-09-05 Thread Pedro n/a
In the first time I rebooted my computer, after I've finished the 
installation of this version, my motherboard started to beep and I didn't 
know what to do.
After reseting the computer I realized that I could no longer boot my 
Windows. I did selected it from BootMng and it gave no response. Even though 
I tried to use FDISK /MBR to rewrite the MBR, all my effords were in vain 
and I couldn't start windows again.
Recently I've reinstalled an old release version (trustworthy) but windows 
still unable to boot.
Does anyone know anything that  could be helpful?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Re: Retrieving audio from memory

OK, funny one.
I accidentally deleted a media file... However, I did have the file
opened in kaboodle.
The file appears to be intact in memory; I can listen to it from
start to finish. Kaboodle, unfortunately, doesn't have any save
feature, so that's out.
I'm wondering if there is some way I could hack in and read
the file out of memory. (I have root access, and am comfortable
with reading directly from memory.)
Lacking that, is there any tool that could capture the audio
as it plays out the card?
Check your /tmp dir.  It could be there, I have found media there from 
firefox when a website does some jave popup function that prevents me 
from saving a file easily by right clicking on the link.

I think you could use something like # cat ./sorrydave.au  /dev/audio.  
This plays a file in the current dir to your aduio dev.  I saw it at 
http://flag.blackened.net/freebsd/sound.html.

Maybe you could use a pipe?
http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol5_3/tpj0503-0002.html
From this you could write a little program that calls open( a freebsd 
system call in libc) and write the input to a new file.  The actual code 
samples are missing.  I don't know perl, just a little c. 

I just tried to write a sample program but it is 1:32am here and I have 
no examples in front of me.  I am sure this would be the most 
complicated(or work intensive) way of geting your song or file.  If it 
was a mp3 I would recommend kazza or some other p2p if you can't get it 
yourself soon.

Well, i got the same error a few hours ago which surprised me as
burncd(1) worked on FreeBSD some before version 4.10-p2 just fine w/
the all the same relevant hardware.

Can you boot freebsd?  What was the beep code, you mb manual will tell 
what it means.  Sounds like a hardware problem with the beeping.  Try 
looking for a boot disk image online and boot windows from that.  I have 
5.3beta3 from yesterday, no problems.
