Hi! Have some of them here, that are deployed with Win2003, and I had some time to make some short tests. results: Hardware is supported quite nicely, a tape drive (which we don't need because of central tape library) should always be hooked up to a different non-RAID card IMHO, iLO also is working nice, but: For some management functions those boxes rely on SNMP, and AFAIK there are no FreeBSD agents avaiable for FreeBSD. WIth them (Insight Manager) installed, I do hardware monitoring for defective HDD, fans, etc. with a nagios box. I had a short glance at the RedHat SNMP agents, but even unpacking them on FreeBSD was a major pain, so I assume you have to live without deeper insight in what your box does. IIRC the iLO in its event log relies upon those information, so it might occur that not every information (when ECC errors occur etc.) might end up in the iLO log. Otherwise, they are in the process in integrating ssh access in the iLO (have 1.62 running here), so that you can remote powercycle/light the uid LED remotely via ssh, and may forward a text console via ssh and there is no need to use the java applet in a webbrowser for that. I used FreeBSD 4.8 on a 360G2 some time for netsaint monitoring, and there the ciss was quite stable, no hassle at all (ok, it was quite slow with lots of small files, because the writeback enabler was not installed) HTH Olaf -- Olaf Hoyer[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fuerchterliche Erlebniss geben zu raten, ob der, welcher sie erlebt, nicht etwas Fuerchterliches ist.

IDE recommendations
I am wanting to get back into programming, and I am _somewhat_ familiar with C++ (trial version of Borland's C++ Builder IDE, compliments of Sam's Publishing). Being that I no longer use Windos (and not really interested in the Wine project), what would be some recommended IDEs to learn/relearn with? If it matters, I'm running FBSD 4.10 and I don't plan on upgrading to 5.x on this box (Perhaps when I get another machine, but that's another story). What _does_ matter to me is the bells-and-whistles type of environments/applications (What can I say... The gravy helps them taters go down. :) ). That said, I have both the KDE and GNOME environments installed. I'm also interested in IDEs for Python, Perl, Ruby and Java. Of course I'm going to start with one at a time, but I'm interested in what people's recommendations are on the IDEs in the ports. So, what say ye?

Re: anyone gotten vnc 4.0 to compile yet?
I got it to compile by placing #include sys/types.h in vncsrc/xc/programs/Xserver/vnc/XserverDesktop.h on line 34 (just after the #include os.h) I built this against the X430src- tree on FreeBSD 4.7. I then copied the vnc.so module to a FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE box running Xorg 6.7. The 4.10 box is running with i810 drivers. I also tried the module on a 5-latest laptop with DRM enabled and ATI Radeon drivers. When I connected, the laptop screen started flickering and the laptop locked up hard. Power cycle to recover. I haven't tried it with the DRM disabled. I modified the XF86Config file as per the instructions on RealVNC's page: http://www.realvnc.com/v4/x0.html If your native X server is an XFree86 version 4 server, then the vnc.so module should be copied to the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions directory. It can be enabled like any other module by adding a Load vnc line to the Module section of XF86Config. The parameters listed in the Xvnc manual page can be set as options in XF86Config. You will need to set either the passwordFile parameter or set the securityTypes parameter to None if you really don't want any authentication. Note that options cannot be set in the Module section of XF86Config - try the Screen section. For example: Section Module ... Load vnc EndSection ... Section Screen ...

linux emulation: / resolves to real root dir; why ?
Under Linux emulation / resolves to real root directory, not /compat/linux directory and I am very curious why this is so. I see that in linux_emul_convpath() there is a special check for this case with the following comment: /* * We now compare the vnode of the linux_root to the one * vnode asked. If they resolve to be the same, then we * ignore the match so that the real root gets used. * This avoids the problem of traversing ../.. to find the * root directory and never finding it, because / resolves * to the emulation root directory. This is expensive :-( */ Because of such behavior mkdir -p (in linux base 7) is broken in cases where more than one path components needs to be created - mkdir first chdir()s to / and then iteratively mkdir()s and chdir()s to subdirectories. My rationale for throwing out that check is that no linux program should ever need to access real root directory, and in case of a user using an interactive linux shell he should be smart enough to break out of /compat/linux (very easy).

Corrupted file system?
Hi folks, I've been installing the i386 port (5.2.1-P11) on my AMD64 (because I got sick of the cvsup problem). So that all went fine, I've compiled KDE from source and stuff, no problem. But now I wanted to start KDE (which has been working fine yesterday). So I tried to login and said that it could not find iceauth in its path. So I checked and I was sure the file was there. (/usr/X11R6/bin/) Rebooted into single user mode and fixed up a whole bunch of errors. Used /sbin/reboot to reboot the machine, and I still had the problem. So I tried it again, and again it fixed problems, but now in the root directory as well. So I booted again into normal mode, and I could still not login. I checked, and fsck was still picking things out. So when I reboot the FS seems to be being messed up or something (And yes, I used the -y option). I didn't unmount the drive cleanly one time because the machine locked up (problem with the nvidia-driver). I can't imagine that the entire filesystem got messed up because of one unclean unmount. So what can I do about it? Any help would be appreciated.

interim port versions
I'm new to the bsd's, came from linux and i'm having a bit of difficulty figuring out the general philosophy. One of the major reasons that i decided to try out the 'bsds' is because of the security. I'm having a hard time however figuring out how security issues in the ports get dealt with when there is a port freeze, like now. The best example i can think of is gaim...(i almost didn't recheck the port on the 4.10 tree, it's now mysteriously up to date, phew.) ..slightly altered next paragraph lets say i found out there is a msn slp buffer overflow (like currently) and i wanted to protect myselfso i cvsuped my ports tree and then wanted to portupgrade... problem is...since it's a port freeze...up until a few days ago it's still at 0.82 not the 1.02 that is out now, I watched it and never saw version 1.00 or 1.01. Are the ports frozen _except_for_security_fixes or am i missing something. I looked around on the lists for this but didn't see it and it seems like a fairly big deal if security issues arise during a freeze. Thanks in advance, Randall _ Dont just search. Find.

Scsi tape sense codes, getting last n (10)
I'm looking for a way to trace all sense codes come back from a tape drive in Freebsd 4.9. (latter we will go to 5.3, but 4.9 matters today) The programs we use do not check sense codes, much less show them. In theory they could issue a command that fails, then issue a second command that also fails. The second failure will cause the sense code from the first failure to be lost. (yes there are separate control and io errors, but if they are both the same type that doesn't help) My boss does not trust these programs to stop after the first error, so issuing ioctl MTIOCERRSTAT after the program completes is not enough. Therefore I'm looking for some way to hook scsi (/dev/nsa0 in particular) so that I can log sense codes as they occurs, if there are any. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I didn't see anything in the source. We do not want to modify the kernel, or the other programs. I'm also working with the drive manufacture, but so far I have not discovered anything that seems useful. (We are only interested in one model) I think that these programs just stop if there is any error we would care about, but that is not enough. I don't write the requirements, and checking for sense codes after we run the program program does not meet them. Perhaps this could be asked on -scsi, but this isn't a Freebsd issue, just something that runs on top of Freebsd. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
freebsd and MS Active Directory
Hello, Does anybody out there have experience with FreeBSD in a Microsoft Active Directory environment? I am going to be delivering two servers to a client, both running FreeBSD 5.2.1 with Apache as the front-end web server, and postgresql on the backend database server. During a meeting with their IT people a couple of days ago, most issues were agreed upon, however, the director of IT informed me that I will need to make both of these boxes conform to their Active Directory network. I think what he was referring to is DNS and IP assignments, and that I can't just hard code the hostname and IP address as I normally would and expect it to work on their network, since they don't run bind or static DNS services. Has anybody had to deal with this and be able to point me in the right direction so that I can test this out before delivery? I do have an MSDN subscription (which I never use), but could try to set up a basic Active Directory I suppose in my lab. I am a lapsed MCSE, but that was during NT 4.0, and stopped really using Microsoft as servers around year 2000, so I'm really behind the 8ball.

Despite the impression to the contrary that having the per-release pre compiled packages available from the archives gives. If you're using ports, for best results, you should be regularly using cvsup(1) to synch with the latest state of the ports tree, and you should probably be regularly updating your installed ports to the latest versions by using portupgrade(1) or otherwise.

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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. 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.

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.

ifconfig on 4.10
Good Afternoon! I'm moving our mail server from 4.4 to 4.10.

If this is the case, apply it like this: # ifconfig fxp0 63.82.200.42/32 or # ifconfig fxp0 63.82.200.42 netmask 255.255.255.255 You weren't very clear if this is an alias or not, but it's my first guess.

Recommends for VoIP handset to use with 5.3 on laptop?
Hello - I'd like to be able to use VoIP to make in and outbound calls, via a laptop running FreeBSD 5.3. Can anyone make recommendations for devices that can be used for this purpose? For example, I have an i300 handset (keypad, ear speaker and mic) that works under Windows/XP. It is a USB device. Are there similar devices that work with skype or some other software package that people can recommend? Please include me directly in responses, as I am not a subscriber to this mailing list.

Messed up my partition
My boot loader wansn't working properly and i didn't find my 5.2.1 install cd, so i grabbed 4.4(or is that 4.6) install cd, and chose fdisk, marked the freebsd partition bootable(S), and wrote changes. I didn't notice that it had made my about 150GB partition as 100GB(ad0s3) and 60GB(unused) partitions. After that i haven't touched the partitions. I had one slice on that partition and i think it is dirty, i accidently pressed the reset instead of the power button. So i heard in [EMAIL PROTECTED] that i could retrieve the data on that partition by modifying the partition table(like the beginning and the end of the partition).

During a meeting with their IT people a couple of days ago, most issues were agreed upon, however, the director of IT informed me that I will need to make both of these boxes conform to their Active Directory network. The phrase conform to their Active Directory network is pretty ambiguous. I would be asking for more detail if I were you to find out what they really mean. I think what he was referring to is DNS and IP assignments, and that I can't just hard code the hostname and IP address as I normally would and expect it to work on their network, since they don't run bind or static DNS services. Microsoft DNS is no thoroughbred, but can be configured to do what just about any other DNS server will do. Ditto for DHCP. The only impact Active Directory has on DNS, that I know of, is that Active Directory stores SRV records in DNS so that clients can bind to it (I don't completely understand this, I just see a lot of weird _firstsitename stuff in a zone dump from our MS DNS server). As far as I know this has no impact on the FreeBSD side. Since they presumably already have their DNS server running (otherwise Active Directory wouldn't work) you shouldn't have to do anything special on the FreeBSD side. It seems unlikely to me that that's what they meant. I really would ask for more information. Maybe they want their FreeBSD administrators to authenticate against AD accounts? If you do set up a testbed Active Directory, I would advise you to set up MS DNS first, as I've had what can most charitably be called problems when letting Active Directory set up DNS automagically. ... -- Danny ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD 4.10 not finding 3ware controllers

RE: advertising clause in license
Nell, Just a request, please do not use the term advertising clause This is a term that was created by the Linux bigots, specifically people like RMS who is so bigoted he can't see beyond the tip of his nose. It has never been advertising before to give credit to the authors of a software package until the pro-GPL-anti-BSD crowd came along. It has also never been a burden of any kind to include credit to UCB until people started to think it was because the GPL crowd told them. And many companies used BSD code without giving credit, and nobody cared. (for example, Microsoft who used plenty of BSD code including BSD header files that still had the BSD copyrights in them) I think it is either extremely mean-spirited to make a big deal over this or it is a subtle BSD-bash to do so.

Dlink-g520 Wireless and WEP
So, Thanks to a fellow list member I got my 5.2.1 System to see my Dlink card. The trouble now I'm having involves setting up WEP. I am currently running WEP on a Netgear Wireless router 802.11b. The Dlink does 802.11b/g. Here's what I'm running into when turning on WEP. The router has a 26 character string for 128-bit WEP that I created via a passphrase. Windows takes it and works well wirelessly but when I configure my card, here's wha t happens on BSD: ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.175 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid SSID_NAME wepmode on wepkey 0xyx ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists Assume the first 0x means hex and the rest is the key name.

During a meeting with their IT people a couple of days ago, most issues were agreed upon, however, the director of IT informed me that I will need to make both of these boxes conform to their Active Directory network. The phrase conform to their Active Directory network is pretty ambiguous. I would be asking for more detail if I were you to find out what they really mean. Well, you pretty much hit the nail on the head here. It was a brief meeting to flesh out an basic specs and an introduction, rather than specifics on the implementation. I didn't want to ask too many questions at that point because I didn't want to sound like an idiot. But one thing that is crystalizing for me is that from what I understand so far from talking to others here and doing research is that as far as host name resolution and IP address management, not that much has changed, and there is no reason that they couldn't create static entries for the two BSD hosts. I am beginning to think that they were under the assumption that the web apps we are giving them would participate in their single sign-on, but that is not the case, because our web app will be doing it's own user management and authentication whether they like it or not. :) If that is why they brought up AD in the first place, then I think it will be a moot point, unless there is something else I don't know yet. Is it possible they are using DHCP for all hosts -- even servers, but doing static mapping to MAC address? If so, are there instances where AD hosts must configured as AD leaf objects? (I'm just scraping the back of my brain memories from my Novell NDS days...cripes -- what's happened to me? LOL At any rate, I have two voice mail messages in to the IT guys I met with to get more specifics. I really don't have time to screw around with a Windows 2000 lab right now, and rather I wouldn't if I don't have to. I think what he was referring to is DNS and IP assignments, and that I can't just hard code the hostname and IP address as I normally would and expect it to work on their network, since they don't run bind or static DNS services. Microsoft DNS is no thoroughbred, but can be configured to do what just about any other DNS server will do. Ditto for DHCP. The only impact Active Directory has on DNS, that I know of, is that Active Directory stores SRV records in DNS so that clients can bind to it (I don't completely understand this, I just see a lot of weird _firstsitename stuff in a zone dump from our MS DNS server). As far as I know this has no impact on the FreeBSD side. Since they presumably already have their DNS server running (otherwise Active Directory wouldn't work) you shouldn't have to do anything special on the FreeBSD side. It seems unlikely to me that that's what they meant. I really would ask for more information. Maybe they want their FreeBSD administrators to authenticate against AD accounts? If you do set up a testbed Active Directory, I would advise you to set up MS DNS first, as I've had what can most charitably be called problems when letting Active Directory set up DNS automagically. ... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there some sort of port or utility or command that can do general system/sub-system stress testing? I don't have any specific needs or requirements.
