irssi in shell $HOME
Does anyone have irssi running in the home directory of a commercial shell account which allows running personal programs? There seem to be library problems and dependencies which are complex to the point I haven't gotten very far. Ports and packages are not so good in a shell account I think. I'm just looking for a successful installation somewhere to serve as a template.

packet pass through vs ftp -- performance weirdity
I'm seeing some weird network performance I don't understand. If I sit at an NT box and using a web browser, go through my fbsd 4.10 firewall to someplace out in the world through a slow dsl connection, I get download speeds of 20KB - 45KB/sec, pretty much the max my DSL connection can deliver. The nt box is connected to the fbsd box over a 10Mb/sec full duplex crossover cable for test purposes. If I ftp (shell window) or use a browser to ftp from the fbsd box itself, I see a max speed of something like 8KB/sec. This makes absolutely no sense to me, given the relative speeds of the network connections, which I would have thought was the limiting factor. The fbsd box is a p200, 128M, single 7200rpm 9.4ms seagate ultra scsi drive, 10MB/sec negotiated xfr rate. Data used for testing was ~8MB file in /var partition, don't know how badly fragmented. Is passing packets through the firewall and ipfw rules that much faster than an ftp access? Ideas for where to look for what's slowing things down?

The makefiles in /usr/ports/Mk include a ton of variables that can be
set to modify the paths where Ports will look for files. I've installed
ports in my $HOME dir by setting some of these to non-default values.
You'll most certainly want to change at least the following when you
invoke make to build and install irssi:
PORTSDIR- Where ports live[1].
LOCALBASE - Where the installed files go.
DISTDIR - Where downloaded distfiles are saved.
PKG_DBDIR - Where installed package info will be saved.
PORT_DBDIR - Where port options are saved.
[1] If you use the existing /usr/ports checkout of the system this will
not have to be changed, but you might find it useful to check out your
own copy of /usr/ports and work there. That's when this will be needed.
Typically, to install ports in $HOME you'd invoke make with something
like this:
$ cd ${HOME}/ports/irc/irssi
$ env PORTSDIR=${HOME}/ports LOCALBASE=${HOME} \
DISTDIR=${HOME}/distfiles \
PKG_DBDIR=${HOME}/pkgdb PORT_DBDIR=${HOME}/pkgdb/ports \
make install
I hope this helps to get you started. If things don't work, either post
the errors you stumble upon or look at the comments in the bsd.port.mk
makefile (under ports/Mk) and see if there's some variable which you
have to set but I forgot to mention.

It can boot anything from anywhere on any disk (someone correct me if I'm wrong here, please), provided that what it boots wants to boot from where it's situated. I know WinXP expects to have its startup files on the first partition on the first physical disk and refuses to start up otherwise, other OSes may have similar quirks. But from what I gather, FreeBSD is quite forgiving in this regard. FreeBSD can access the entire disk once it is up an running, but the bootstrap program used to load the FreeBSD kernel may be limited. The FreeBSD boot0 bootstrap program, which is sometimes confused with the older booteasy program, may be configured to use either the old or new BIOS disk functions to load the kernel. The boot0 program is not smart enough to determine automatically which flavor of BIOS disk functions it should use. It is configured by the boot0cfg program to always use one or the other. See the packet option on the FreeBSD man page for the boot0cfg program. If the boot0 program is configured to use the old BIOS disk functions, it cannot read past the first 1024 cylinders. If boot0 is using the new BIOS disk functions, your bootable disk partitions can be anywhere on the drive. This applies to any OS you might try to boot using boot0. To verify that you are using boot0 and to determine how it is configured, issue a command like: boot0cfg -v ad0 Dan Strick ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Portupgrade failure: / filesystem full.... any suggestions short of full-scale re-install?
Hello, I'm not sure what's next: hedgehogs falling from the skies, perhaps? Mostly, I know I'm flailing around in the newbie waters, an otherwise straightforward 5.2.1 install (single user, desktop) gone horribly, horribly wrong. The story so far... I got through most of the sysinstall program without too many surprises. It's a new machine, 40G HD. Loosely following Mr. Lehey's configuration suggestions in Complete FreeBSD, / got 4G, swap 2G, and /home the rest. Among other things, I downloaded and installed the instant-workstation 1.0.3 port, in part because a presumably earlier version had worked fine last fall when I installed it on my wife's dual boot machine.[1] This time, although XFree86 -configure tested okay, i.e. grey screen with X in the middle, then Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to return to the CLI, I couldn't seem to configure X. I had it working a couple of times, but the mouse cursor was a 64x64 pixel barcode! Exiting seemed to cause the x-server the most trouble. The box locked up complaining primarily of unresolved symbols, although both Knoppix 3.4 and FreeSBIE's versions of x-windows work(ed) fine, booting from the CD drive. I see a note [2] suggesting the more current XFree86 4.4 version might work better with the SiS74x video card, which at that point, seemed the most likely candidate for FreeBSD incompatibility. More googling around and freebsd-questions digest traffic reading suggested cvsup and portupgrade, as a general tidying up strategy en route to updating to 4.4. [upmusic: theme from Jaws] Cvsupping seems to be chugging along for quite a while, but previous install on older machine also took the better part of a weekend, so I figure what the hell. A strong sense of fear and loathing began to develop, however, when filesystem full began in large numbers to scroll off the screen, late this past afternoon. A du -sk * showed relatively expected numbers next to most of the sub-directories, but /usr and /var showed 3 038 096 71 990 respectively! ??? /var/tmp seems to contain lots of 512K .bak files right underneath .tgz behemoths with the same name. I've seen messages suggesting deleting /tmp directories, as well as growfs, as a way to regain room to at least email log and error messages, but I'm also getting a little gunshy. Any suggestions, even starting over from scratch, would assist me greatly. Everything I've read so far suggests FreeBSD installs into _at most_ 5G, so what's going on??? If a more realistic cvsup/portupgrade manoevering room works out to 10G, maybe this message will help someone else. Thanks in advance. df (dave) armour at my real box dought calm! # not. [1] previous install, 5.0-RELEASE, admittedly in 18G, on dual-boot (Windows ME, with 10G) box. [2] The SiS driver author's site suggests XFree86 4.4.0 works more successfully with SiS74x series. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I started portupgrade -ra on my home mail server (FreeBSD
5.2.1-RELEASE) two or three hours ago. It says [Updating the pkgdb

done], and the output hasn't changed since. For much of this time,
ruby18 has been using 90% of my system's resources. It's obviously
doing *something*, but I can't see any ironclad progress in terms of
packages being updated.
Actually, this could be another symptom of the bdb1_btree bug that has
been affecting portsdb for so many people recently.
First, try killing that portupgrade process and restarting it. If it
runs to completion successfully then you're happy. If it hangs again,
or crashes then you'll need to take some ameliorative action.
The first thing to try is deleting the pkgdb.db file and rebuilding it
from scratch. That file basically contains a quick-reference summary
of the contents of /var/db/pkg, so you won't lose any information by
deleting the file. However it can occasionally become corrupted, in
which case it may show the symptoms you've been seeing:
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# pkgdb -Fvu
If that still doesn't work, then I think that setting:
# setenv PKG_BDBDRIVER bdb1_hash
in your environment should help. After you do that, again run:
# pkgdb -Fvu
and it should rebuild the whole /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db file into the
bdb1_hash format. And, I hope, work rather better than you've seen so
far.
Alternatively to that last step, you could install the
databases/ruby-bdb port together with whichever one of the
databases/db{2,3,4,41,41-nocrypto,42,42-nocrypto} ports takes your
fancy. Check the ruby-bdb port Makefile for all the WITH_BDBn options
available.
Then you can put the following into /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = 'bdb_btree'
ENV['PKG_DBDRIVER'] = 'bdb_btree'
or set them in your environment each time you use portupgrade(1),
portsdb(1), pkgdb(1) or other members of that family of tools.

Matthew

I have tried to enable APIC by compiling kernel with 'device apic' (both with and without SMP option, although this is a UP system), but system just freezes during boot with it. Everything works pretty well without APIC, I was just curious about getting it to work. I found this discussion: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-May/027316.html and I have also found numerous reports on nforce2+APIC lockup problem in Linux and some patches that were reported to help with it. So, I want to find out if anything changed with respect to this in FreeBSD, maybe some patches/workarounds, or success stories about FreeBSD+nforce2+APIC. Also some notes about my lockup.

I am ready to provide any additional information. Unfortunately I am not able to use serial console, so I can't give much info for APIC-enabled case. 5.2.1 freezes on a nforce2 mainboard with apci, I have a nforce2 (same abit board) based machine here running freebsd, never got the 5.2.1-release to work with acpi. It was fixed a little while after the release, 5-current has been running on the nforce2 for a while.

At any rate, portupgrade was probably altering the package database at the time of the crash, as I now get this error: pkg_info: the package info for package 'nvidia-driver-1.0.6113_1' is corrupt Needless to say, many of the other pkg tools won't work either.

(If you want more info., just tell me what would be useful.) Sounds like you've lost some of the contents of your /var partition. Not knowing why your system went castors-up, there's two courses of action to consider. i) The system died because the disk is failing / about to fail. In this case, what you need to do is try and avoid stressing the failing components as much as possible. Your first objective should be to get a backup copy of as much of your system as you need in order to rebuild it successfully. The second objective is to get a new disk drive. If you get a list of all of the ports you have installed, together with any build options you used, then re-installing that lot from ports onto a new disk will sort out the corruption in /var/db/pkg automatically. ii) The system died because of bad memory, overheating, power supply not able to keep up with demand, bugs in the OS or some other reason not due to hard drive failure. First, fix whatever it was that caused the system to bomb in the first place. If you can't diagnose what exactly caused the problem, then make sure you've got good backups, make sure that the box is adequately ventilated (clean and dust out of the case, the PSU and any filters; move the system away from obstructions to airflow) and watch it closely when you run high-impact jobs like large compilations. It's possible that it was the nvidia drivers themselves that caused the system to crash. Depending on the precise make and model of your motherboard and your graphics adaptor, you might have to experiment a bit with the options for compiling the x11/nvidia-driver port and the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- using or not using the FreeBSD agp(4) driver instead of the nvidia one seems to make the difference in many cases. Note: if you're going to be de-installing and re-installing the nvidia driver, it's best to do it *without* X running. Doing a forced re-install of any port where the /var/db/pkg directory has become corrupted should fix the problems there. If portupgrade(1) won't play ball, just do: # cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver # make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgpx0sHCEvwDh.pgp Description: PGP signature

However, there's nothing (in principle) stopping you from kicking off those processes again, providing their environmental needs are satisfied. So to answer the question: you can certainly tune the scripts and services available that launch you into multi-user mode to get a minimum profile on the machine. However if you modify rc to the extent that it turns on everything you need in order to set up bridging, run a few daemons etc then you're effectively duplicating the multiuser startup anyway. jan * modulo securelevel changes which can only be reverted via reboot. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ The Java disclaimer: values of 'anywhere' may vary between regions. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: what are the pros and cons of running in single user?
I have a machine running 4.10-STABLE that will be a dedicated gateway with a router/firewall combo and web server plus mysql server (maybe). What would be the pros and cons of running this system single user? Processes that run under their own uid, would they be able to run? Just curious. Any extra thoughts welcome. I wonder if you have your terminology a little skewed. Single User mode does not just mean that only one user is allowed on the machine. It is probably an inappropriate name for the situation actually. It really means that almost all of system services, utilities and applications are shut down and only very basic kernel stuff is up and running. You have to run that single user from the console (or remote console). This is a little different from SysV Sun kind of single user run setting where you can just kick off all users, but have almost all of the system still up and running. That is kind of a partial shutdown. BSD doesn't really have that, though I suppose you could simulate it by moungin stuff and carefully starting things from its single user mode - create a script that will do what you want, but... You could do other things to prevent any other users to get on the fully running system and only allow yourself. But, I don't think what you want is what is called single user mode for that. jerry Thanks, Alex - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Alexander Sendzimir (owner)802 863 5502 MacTutor: Apple Mac OS X Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [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]

The easiest way to protect this is to check your sshd_config and set: PermitRootLogin no Interestingly, this option did not exist in my config file (I added it), but all other options were commented out. Is this the default? Is it wise to leave it this way? Agreed. However if you 'Absolutely' require something to be done remotely as root, make it a pub/priv key sequence and limit the command using the keys. ie: change sshd_config to PermitRootLogin without-password and set up command=/usr/local/bin/rsync --server --daemon . ssh-dss snip actual key in the authorized_keys file. This limits the abilities of the remoe login to just running the rsync command with the specified switches. Anything else just doesn't work.

It is possible that the box was compromised and the utmp/wtmp log removed/edited/etc, and I would start looking immediately for other traces of a possible intrusion. My current wtmp log, which dates from today back to Aug 30, is quite small and shows only two logins... I've logged in twice since reporting this incident to the list. There exists no utmp file in /var/log/. I'm really starting to feel as if the machine were compromised, or at least perused, and my utter lack of security knowledge has become glaringly apparent. What other traces could I look for; what other files might give me a clue? And where would I begin looking for files that might have been planted on the machine (scripts, server threads)?

ATI AGP card and Xorg
Trying to take my mind off my server exploit issue...
I'm trying to configure an ATI Radeon 9000 64mb AGP video card with
Xorg on a FreeBSD5.3beta2 workstation. No matter which config option I
choose ('Xorg -configure', 'xorgcfg -textmode', xorgconfig), when I
test the generated .conf file, the screen locks up with a bunch of
colors and horizontal lines (green on top, blue everywhere else). The
mouse cursor moves, but none of the Ctrl+Alt key combos work, and I
can't escape the X session or access another virtual console. The
Device section generated from 'Xorg -configure' is:
Section Device
Identifier Card0
Driver ati
VendorName ATI Technologies Inc
BoardName Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000]
BusID PCI:3:0:0
Here's any related output I can think of from 'pciconf -lv':

I thought it might be an AGP/kernel issue, but when I try 'kldload
agp' I get back File exists, and when I do 'kldstat -n agp' or
'kldunload' I get No such file.
I tried someone else's bare-bones radeon conf file, and I got the
same problem as always on test: blue/green garbled screen, mouse
moves, can't escape out of locked-up X. I then replaced the radeon
Driver entry with vesa in the config. When I tested this, it showed
a different garbled screen (grey this time) for a few seconds, then
clicked to a normal X-Windows screen, but with a black hourglass
outline on the sides. I was able to Ctl+Alt+Backspace out of this as
normal, and the console didn't report any warnings or errors.
I then moved this config file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and ran 'startx'.
It started fine and looked as described above, with an hourglass
outline. When I exited X, there were some errors on the console that
were probably just from exiting out of X, and this one:
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name my.hostname.com:0 in remove command
Any ideas on how to get this card working properly? BTW: I began
using FreeBSD5.3beta2 on this machine for its NDIS support for my
onboard NIC.

By installing the instant-workstation port, you're going to be filling up /usr/ports/distfiles and /usr/local.

Re: Running 3.x binaries
In the last episode (Sep 16), [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I've just been given a whole bunch of binaries that had been compiled under FreeBSD 3.4 and asked to make them run under our modern 4.10 systems. I'm considering a couple of options + was hoping for some commentary on them: 1) setup a chroot environment with the old 3.x system (using the destdir directive on a 3.x buildworld) 2) Copy over the old libraries and install them in the usual places Option 2 should work just fine. Installing the misc/compat3x port will get you most if not all of the required libraries (comment out the FORBIDDEN= line in the Makefile). If your programs depend on port-installed libraries, copy them off the old system into /usr/local/lib/compat/. The only stumbling block you might run into is if both the old and the new system have a shared library with the same major number. Old binaries will try and link to the new shlib and may have problems. Are there any kernel options I need to ensure that the old libc will work? You needed to change the max pid value for 2.2.x compatibility, I think, but 3.x binaries should work with no adjustments. p.s. please reply to me directly as I do _not_ subscribe to the list.

Hard drive encryption
Hello, I am writing to inquire about a hard drive encryption software that is compatible with FreeBSD. We have been using PointSEC with windows and am looking for a similar solution for FreeBSD. I see you have GEOM Based Disk Encryption (gbde) Which I have read about on your web site, but the folks here are resistant to using it and are asking for a 3rd party solution that is separate from the OS. Do you have anything in mind? I understand that gbde requests a password before the partition can be mounted anyway so this simulates the same functionality of PointSEC, but since it is part of the OS, it seems that if someone has access to the OS, they could still get in. Is that right? Thank you very much for your help.

Re: ATI AGP card and Xorg
One thing you could try is editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and substituting
vesa for ati. It's not an ideal solution, but the vesa driver often
works when nothing else will. You might want to take a look at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.ati, and list all video drivers in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/.

I then moved this config file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and ran 'startx'.
It started fine and looked as described above, with an hourglass

were probably just from exiting out of X, and this one:

creating boot cd to install a ghost image
Howdy. I am attempting to create a FreeBSD cluster. My first step is to come up with a bootable CD (which I have done) that will run a script to create one giant partition (for simplicity, since not all hard drives are the same size), run newfs on it, mount it, and copy the desired tree to it. I then unmount it and run boot0cfg -B -s 1 ad0 on it. When I attempt to boot, it spits out: F1 FreeBSD Default: F1 When I hit F1, it spits out that message again. Eventually the screen is full of them. I have heard a rumor that bsdlabel will finish the job for me, but I am having some issues. Every page on the web I have found has told me that I need to run something simple, such as: bsdlabel -w -B ad0 When I do that, I get the error: bsdlabel: Geom not specified Which is weird, since I see no switch defined in the manpage to specify disk geometry. Can anyone shed some light on this? I am concerned that I may creating the partition incorrectly, but that is only a guess.

Thanks Robert... but I did try 'vesa' before posting (2nd 3rd paras
from bottom of my post below). I'm sure either 'raden' or 'ati' are
the way to go, I just can't seem to get either one to work. I also
read through the entire README.ati, and found it a bit of a
frustrating read when trying to look for answers on 'radeon' drivers
for my card... not much relevent info there for the end-user.

Re: ATI AGP card and Xorg
Sorry John, I apologize for not reading all the to the bottom of your post. The only other thing I'd suggest is playing with xvidtune. I had to do this to get my screen to center properly. The frustrating thing with xvidtune is that it doesn't automatically save the adjustments you make - you have to manually edit xorg.conf - but at least it makes it relatively easy to find the right settings. I will say that FreeBSD really could use a better configuration utility for X, though I realize that the developers have their hands full just trying to get 5.3 out the door. regards, Robert On Thu, 16 Sep 2004 21:12:48 -0400 John DeStefano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Robert... but I did try 'vesa' before posting (2nd 3rd paras from bottom of my post below).

Re: Cardbus not working for 3com 656B netcard
Ok This is an update on my Problem getting this network card working. as stated previously..: Hello everyone, back in the days of 5.1.xxx my 3com CFM656B (That's not the exact model number sorry but it's in my machine at home at the moment.) worked beautifully. I had changed to the 5.1 branch of FreeBSD because finally I could use something other than a ratty Linksys 10mbps pccard in my laptop. I cvsup'd religeously and the world built well (usually) and the kernels kernelled and I was a righteous FreeBSD guru. But then.. 5.2.1 hit and my 3com netcard no longer functioned. I searched high and low for fixes, answers cvsup every chance I had and never once did the card work again. Everything shows normal in the dmesg but the bus never resets and the system can't get the station address. I checked interrupts and the card bus is there sharing life with the pccard interface at irq 10. If I'm using 5.1 of the OS (which I reinstalled the other day because i'm trying to get my new Linksys wifi card running) the 3com works and data flows at a reasonable rate. Does anyone know of a fix for the cardbus since that's the only thing I can find that seems like it's out of wack? same hardware works fine with 5.1 but 5.2 is toiletville. My 10mbps linksys card still works but it is a 16 bit pccard and nothing and no cards that I have that are 32bit cardbus work at all. This is on a IBM Iseries thinkpad 1141. It's been my main work horse since I bought it in 2000. Please help make a ratty old laptop useful again. I'll do what I can to provide information to get this problem fixed. Since I see current is now trying to breath life into FreeBSD-6.0 and I would hate to see this problem continue. Thank you in advance for everything. Sincerely Davon The card is a 3CCFEM656B. Earlier Dave McCammon siggested this patch.. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2004-September/004726.html Which I applied to FreeBSD 5.3Beta4 cleanly but it made no difference. I checked vmstat -i and found cbb0 and uhci0 on irq 10. So Just in case there was a conflict I removed the uhci driver so cbb0 was the only thing on irq 10.

Too many dynamic rules, sorry
If I repeatedly nmap my FreeBSD 4.10 machine configured with ipfirewall, I get the message Too many dynamic rules, sorry. Doing a sysctl -a |grep ip.fw I can see the the net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_count has reached the max value of 8192 that I set. The net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_ack_lifetime is set to 300, so the dynamic rule count starts going down after about 5 minutes after the simulated attack. Questions: When this happens, if my firewall still fully operational, in other words can I safely ignore this message? Is there a way to fix this? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
