Re: CVSup questions
Kevin, Stheg; Wow. You answered questions I didn't know how to ask. I was confused between src-all and cvs-all. The confusion is because of the example supfile /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile. It calls for the src- all collection, which I mistakenly thought would get everything. Now I see that it also individually calls for ports-all, doc-all and others. Obviously I didn't read that file carefully enough. I now have read the stable and standard supfiles and understand the reasons for them all. And, I now know to put them somewhere that they won't be eaten by an upgrade if I edit them. I also now see the need for different tags; I'll use RELENG_5_3 and . Thanks for the lead to script. Another useful new command to me. I hadn't seen Dru Lavigne's article on portupgrade. Good read. And this wasn't well documented with me (yet), but it is now: the well documented make buildworld, make buildkernel, make installkernel, reboot single user, mergemaster -p, make installworld, reboot, mergemaster cycle I haven't had so much fun since CP/M (on 8 floppy disks)!

FreeBSD 5.3 Does Not Install on Toshiba Satellite Laptop
Lazlo, this is the mobile forum you can search for more info: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/ I have a Toshiba Satellite2805-S302. It runs FreeBSD since version 3.x, If I am not mistaking versions. I am running 5.3 Stable now, just moved from 4.10. To your question... it can be a checksum error in your recorded CD, probably in the ISO image (did you check it before burning?). Try the boot version (aprox. 20 Mbytes) or the floppies. FreeBSD is solid rock of performance compared to Linux, but I recognise (*at this moment*) for some users Linux is a better *Desktop* solution. If you go for Linux , you may try Fedora Core 3 (latest).

Re: nslookup not working on client machines only
On Wed, 24 November, 2004 0:47, Nicolas said:
Hello,
I've set up a FreeBSD box to provide my home network a NAT access to
the
Internet and a DNS caching-only server with bind 8.3.7 (among other
things).
It's working perfectly but today I noticed something that I do not
understand. When trying to $ nslookup google.com on a client host,
here's what it says :
8--
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nslookup google.com
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent
host/domain
*** Can't find server name for address ::: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now, trying the same thing directly on the DNS box :
8--
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nslookup google.com
Server: 192.168.0.1
Address:192.168.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Address: 216.239.57.99
Name: google.com
Address: 216.239.37.99
Name: google.com
Address: 216.239.39.99
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
--8
The resolv.conf files are the same on the 2 boxes :
8--
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/resolv.conf
search serpe.org
nameserver 192.168.0.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/resolv.conf
search serpe.org
nameserver 192.168.0.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
--8
Given this, I do not understand why it works on the DNS box and not on
the client.
I believe this might mean you don't have reverse DNS setup on your
server for you local network.
i.e. when you use nslookup it tries finding out the corresponding
hostname for it's own IP address. So if you have an IP address of
192.168.0.100 on the box that is having trouble with nslookup, you
will need to define what hostname that IP address map's to on your DNS
server.
You need to have the following in named.conf and the corresponding
zone file
zone 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa {
type master;
file localnetwork.rev;
};
which defines your home network and their IP address etc ...
Hope this helps.
David
PS - dig doesn't suffer from those problems AFAIK, so you may be
better of using dig.

Re: CVSup questions
On 2004-11-23 19:58, Jay O'Brien [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm attempting to follow Using CVSup and learn how CVSup works. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Questions about CVSup: 1. Where should I place supfile? Practically, anywhere you want. I keep mine in `/etc/supfile'. The rationale behind the choise of /etc as the directory to save the supfile is that I consider the supfile a part of the system's setup and configuration options. These usually live under /etc. QED Obviously I could put it anywhere and make it work, but is there a usual place for it? I can't find where the manual makes a suggestion. The manual makes no suggestion. A supfile is a simple text file that you can put anywhere you want. In `/root/supfile', `/etc/mysupfile', `/opt/cvsup/freebsd/current/supfile/src.sup' or whatever. The CVSup program doesn't care much about the _path_ of the supfile, as long as it is readable. Do I have a need for more than one supfile? That depends on what you want to update. If you want to update many different collections of files (i.e. the ports, the src tree, the sources of the documentation, etc.), you may find it easier to create one supfile for each collection of files being updated. It's less of an administrative PITA this way. 2. I am running 5.3 RELEASE. It appears that if I specify *default tag=. that I will be getting updates from current. Correct. Is this what I should do, given that I want to stay current on security and bug fixes, but I don't (at this time) intend to get involved with beta testing? No. See the Handbook section ``FreeBSD-CURRENT vs. FreeBSD-STABLE'' at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html for details. Or should I specify *default tag=RELENG_5_3? Yes. This would pull in only the 5.3-RELEASE sources and any security fixes or other updates that are deemed critical enough for backporting to the `security branch' of 5.3-RELEASE (the RELENG_5_3 branch). And, if I do that, will the ports be updated, including adding new ports? No. The Ports do not have security branches. There is only one ports/ tree. 3. The tutorial at http://www.us-webmasters.com/FreeBSD/Install/ after item 68 describes CVSup. It suggests using the supfile /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile which gets the ports-all collection. However, the Using CVSup manual says to get src-all, that includes ports-all. Is there some reason to use ports-all, not src-all as suggested by the handbook? Each collection pulls in a different set of files. The ports-all collection updates the files of the Ports collection, usually located under `/usr/ports'. The src-all collection updates `/usr/src', where the base-system sources live. 4. The tutorial (see 3 above) item 97 concludes, after running cvsup, FreeBSD is installed, CONGRATULATIONS! Poor wording. It should probably say ``If you reached this point and everything has worked correctly so far, congratulations! Your source trees have been updated. You may now proceed by building the system from source as described in `_Rebuilding world_'.'' Isn't this a bit premature? It seems to me that at that point I need to rebuild world per http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html#MAKEWORLD to apply the new files and bring the system up to date.

Strange problem with pxeboot
Hi, Sorry - I have no more descriptive subject because this is really strange: I have set up a server to serve clients booting with pxeboot and fetching kernel and a memory disk root file system with tftp. So far so good. What is strange is this: 1) If the local harddrive (which contains an old FreeBSD 4.9) is installed, the client correctly configures the ethernet card (vr0) and tries to mount a root file system using NFS - but the whole idea was to avoid using NFS at all. If I leave the root-path unset in the dhcpd.conf the client will try to mount the root file system from next-server:/pxeroot 2) If I remove the harddrive, then it mounts the memory file system as root file system and launches sysinstall (which is what I really want) - however, it fails to initialize the network card, and there is (obviously) no disk to install on. the ethernet driver is compiled into the kernel - no modules need to be loaded, these are my loader files: loader.rc: include /boot/loader.4th start loader.conf: init_path=/sbin/init:/stand/sysinstall rootfs_load=YES rootfs_name=/boot/mfsroot rootfs_type=mfs_root autoboot_delay=5 boot/ on tftp server: defaultskernel loader.gz pxeboot device.hintsloader.4th loader.rc support.4th frames.4th loader.conf mfsroot Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

I am going to do a fresh install of FreBSD 5.3 this weekend on my

My question is what special arguments should I use in the 'make.conf'
file for this project. Is it really necessary to change this file at
all? I was reading the handbook and it mentioned the 'CFLAGGS' entry
and a few others.
I'd recommend leaving CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS alone (I've only managed to
make problems when I set these),
Well, that, of course, is a matter of opinion. If you want the most
optimization possible, you could try using -O2 or even -O3. I've
been using -O3 quite successfully here lately, with the exception of a
couple of ports which required changing it to -O2.
I believe the -pipe switch is on by default (as well as -O, but if
not, it does help to speed up builds a bit as well.
but I would change CPUTYPE to your
CPU Type, options are:
AMD CPU: athlon-mp, athlon-xp, athlon-4, athlon-tbird, athlon, k6-3,
k6-2, k6, k5
And don't forget athlon64! In fact, I initially setup my amd64 box by
installing from an i386 CD set I had here, then cross-compiling the
world and kernel using -march=athlon64 -m64.
Intel CPU:p4, p3, p2, i686, i586/mmx, i586, i486, i386
If you want to rebuild a custom kernel add this:
KERNCONF=FOOBAR
And copy /usr/src/sys/${ARCH}/conf/GENERIC to
/usr/src/sys/${ARCH}/conf/FOOBAR and edit to taste, where ${ARCH} equals
your machine architecture (i386, amd64, etc.).
--
For your kernel config file comment out everything you don't need
(make sure you have a working kernel b4 you buildworld), i.g:
cpu I486_CPU
cpu I586_CPU
device eisa
device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives
device atapist # ATAPI tape drives
all the SCSI Controllers
etc.
Don't forget to add in sound support etc. etc.
---
then buildworld:
# cvsup -g -L 2 foobar-supfile (set the cvs release tag to RELENG_5_3)
# cd /usr/src
# make -j2 buildworld make -j2 buildkernel make -j2
Installkernel reboot
test your new kernel, if it works drop down to single user mode
# shutdown now
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# reboot
If system is still working then mergemaster
# mergemaster
# reboot
Done.
rm -r /usr/obj/*
I would welcome any feedback that is available.

netstat not working?

Why not just 'us.example.com'? I'm not an expert (IANAE should perhaps be a new acronym...), but here's how I understand it. The domain name system is completely open-ended and hierarchical. I tend to use djbdns for DNS servers, but found the bind concept of zones (and therefore zone files) very helpful. The top level is . and this is managed by the top level name servers, which have to be hard-wired into any name server. These name servers delegate responsibility for the next level down to other name servers, so .com. (the trailing dot is left out for most purposes, but not all - see your hosts file as generated by sysinstall) is managed by a number of servers, .uk. by others, and so on. These name servers delegate authority for zones within their zones to yet more name servers. This is where we come in with .com. domains, but not .uk. where there is another layer of delegation before we ordinary mortals start managing delegated zones. If you have registered example.com then authority for the whole zone of the internet, or the domain name system, below example.com. is delegated to you. You normally run name servers which publish information about hosts within this zone, but this is not the only thing you can do. You can also delegate authority for zones within this zone. Thus, there is a private company in the UK that delegates authority for zones below .uk.com. and thereby operates as a sort of private domain name registry. So you could delegate authority to stated nameservers for a zone such as mailservers.example.com and host information (A records) could be published by them for hosts such as smtp.mailservers.example.com. Of course, some of these could be aliases, and point to other hosts, but they don't have to be. And so it goes on; there's no limit to the possible delegation of zones beyond common sense and convenience. The fact that we normally manage second level domains is a function of normal practice, it isn't intrinsic to the system and it isn't the case in the UK where we normally manage third level domains. A DNS lookup for smtp.mailservers.example.com. would run as follows: 1. Look up in the static table of root name servers at least one value for a namserver that is authoritiative for . 2. Ask the . nameserver who is authoritative for .com. 3. Ask the .com. nameserver who is authoritative for example.com. 4. Ask the example.com. nameserver who is authoritative for mailservers.example.com. 5. Ask the mailservers.example.com. nameserver for the ip address of the host smtp.mailservers.example.com. The following article explains how to delegate sub domains to name servers using bind. I can't find an equivalent for djbdns and suspect there might be a limitation in that software: http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch9/delegate.html Corrections welcome...

JM if 'us' is the name of the node (machine) and 'example.com' is the JM registered domain name, what do the '510' and 'mail' parts uniquely JM identify? Why not just 'us.example.com'? - Imagine not beeing a person with very simple needs like me or you but a big corporation. The corp where I work for example has adresses like uws015.ham.example.com and uws015.fra.example.com uws015 stands for unix workstation number 15 ham stands for Hamburg and fra for Frankfurt (actually these are 3 letter airport codes as I'm employed by an airline) that makes sense as you now can delegate the numbering of workstations to the local sysadmins in Hamburg and Frankfurt. Whichout them having to worry about taking a number that is already used. For your question it is very likely that example.com is a big webmail provider it would therefore make sense for them to have many different login servers all over the world. I could guess that mail identifies a mail server (big surprise there) and us.mail.example.com would therefore be a mail server in the United States whereas de.mail.example.com would be a mail server in Germany. Why they use mail.example.com, because they maybe also have us.news.example.com used. So it makes sense to group their many servers by function first and then by location. 510 could identify a rack or a datacenter so that us.510.mail.example.com means a mail server in the datecenter with the id 510 which serves the United States. But be aware that that extra meaning is arbitrary choosen by the Sysadmins at example.com they could aswell setup something like only.dump.persons.login.here.example.com and point their accountants to this server for login purposes. So if you are interested into why some specific specific subdomain names where choosen it would be wissest to ask the Sysadmins wo administer DNS for that domain.

Re: 4 part domain names
the zone description listed was pretty good. Basically, the leftmost name in a fully qualified domain name is the host (which could really be an alias or something) and the rest is the domain name. So for example u17.us.mail.somecompany.com u17 is the host (in this fictional account, a departmental mail server in the US division of somecompany) us.mail.somecompany.com is the domain The names get more general from left to right. It is a hierarchy. Similar to a postal address. For example John Doe 17 Main Street Anytown, TX 75263 USA John Doe is the host 17 is a specific location on a general street Main Street which is found in Anytown which is found in TX which is found in the USA. As a domain name it might be written JohnDoe.17.MainStreet.75263.Anytown.TX.USA Alfons Mueller Schardthof 10 D-84051 Essenbach Germany would be the same. AlfonsMueller.10.Schardthof.84051.Essenbach.Bayern.Germany is a progressively more general description of where Mr. Alfons Mueller can be located. When you send a postal letter to one of these people (John Doe or Alfons Mueller), the letter is sent to the respective country's main postal office, then to a regional and then a city and then maybe a neighborhood (depending on your area) post office before being delivered. The hierarchy helps the routing of the mail. Same with domain names.

Re: ffs_clusteralloc
In the last episode (Nov 24), FreeBSD Questions said: I have a 5.2 box which I use as a general purpose server in my house. It has been a very good box up to now. I noticed that it wasn't responding last night so I took a look at it and there was a message which read: panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch. Not thinking much of it other than Oh an error, oh well reboot. I rebooted it. Now it refuses to boot. As soon as the login prompt appears I receive the same panic and the machine reboots. Chances are your filesystem has an error in it that's not caught by the preliminary fsck, the system boots normally, the background fsck kicks off, the kernel hits the corrupt block and panics, and repeats the loop. Try booting into single-user and run fsck -p, then reboot again and see if the problem's gone. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re[2]: 4 part domain names
JM : Every unique combination of subdomain.domain.tld could point to an JM : arbitray other URL or IP. JM : For example JM : us.510.mail.example.com = example.com JM : de.510.mail.example.com = europe.mail.example.com JM I guess my question is this... JM if 'us' is the name of the node (machine) and 'example.com' is the JM registered domain name, what do the '510' and 'mail' parts uniquely JM identify? Why not just 'us.example.com'? - Imagine not beeing a person with very simple needs like me or you but a big corporation. The corp where I work for example has adresses like uws015.ham.example.com and uws015.fra.example.com uws015 stands for unix workstation number 15 ham stands for Hamburg and fra for Frankfurt (actually these are 3 letter airport codes as I'm employed by an airline) that makes sense as you now can delegate the numbering of workstations to the local sysadmins in Hamburg and Frankfurt. Whichout them having to worry about taking a number that is already used. For your question it is very likely that example.com is a big webmail provider it would therefore make sense for them to have many different login servers all over the world. I could guess that mail identifies a mail server (big surprise there) and us.mail.example.com would therefore be a mail server in the United States whereas de.mail.example.com would be a mail server in Germany. Why they use mail.example.com, because they maybe also have us.news.example.com used. So it makes sense to group their many servers by function first and then by location. 510 could identify a rack or a datacenter so that us.510.mail.example.com means a mail server in the datecenter with the id 510 which serves the United States. But be aware that that extra meaning is arbitrary choosen by the Sysadmins at example.com they could aswell setup something like only.dump.persons.login.here.example.com and point their accountants to this server for login purposes. So if you are interested into why some specific specific subdomain names where choosen it would be wissest to ask the Sysadmins wo administer DNS for that domain.

PXEBoot fails in last stage
Hi, I have set up a server (dhcp/tftp/ftp, no nfs configured) as a jumpstart server for pxeboot and compiled kernel with -DLOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES. The client machine is a VIA EPIA CL1000 with a 60GB hdd with a FreeBSD 4.9, I want to reinstall to get 5.3. Kernel is compiled with option BOOTP and support for memory filesystem as root device. The client machine boots up and goes through stage 1-3, fetching kernel and memory file system with tftp. But I have problem launching into the final stage which sould launch sysinstall and run an installation script. The client correctly configures the ethernet card (vr0) but then tries to mount a root file system using NFS! - the whole idea was to avoid messing around with NFS. If I leave the root-path unset or define it as in the dhcpd.conf the client will keep requesting a root-path. From what is written on the screen it doesn't mount the local HDD. How to I force it to use the memory file system as root device? An interesting sidenote: I first had the kernel compiled without option BOOTP, then the client would correctly mount the memory file system, but only if the local harddrive was NOT present!! These are my loader files set up as described on www.m0n0.ch/wall/hack/ loader.rc: include /boot/loader.4th start loader.conf: init_path=/sbin/init:/stand/sysinstall rootfs_load=YES rootfs_name=/boot/mfsroot rootfs_type=mfs_root autoboot_delay=5 boot/ on tftp server: defaultskernel loader.gz pxeboot device.hintsloader.4th loader.rc support.4th frames.4th loader.conf mfsroot Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Can't reach to a FreeBSD 5.3 machine trough a ppp connection
Hi! I'm installing a machine that will be a firewall and a samba server for a 4 people office. The machine has 2 NICs and is connecting to the Internet using PPPoE. It is using pf and ALTQ. Initially there was problems to establish the PPPoE connection in the office, using the same ppp.conf that previously worked in my lab (only changing the username/passwd). Here is my ppp.conf file: server:~ $ sudo cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command set device PPPoE:fxp0 set mtu 1492 set mru 1492 enable mssfixup set speed sync disable acfcomp protocomp deny acfcomp set authname x set authkeyx add default HISADDR enable lqr set lqrperiod 25 enable dns I got some messages in ppp.log like this one, Nov 23 15:00:35 server ppp[533]: tun0: LCP: deflink: -- Protocol 0x8057 (Internet Protocol V6 Control Pro tocol) was rejected! Nov 23 15:00:41 server ppp[533]: tun0: Phase: deflink: IPV6CP protocol reject closes IPV6CP ! After that added disable ipv6cp, and commented out enable lqr and set lqrperiod 25 and the connection didn't drop anymore. It seems that this provider doesn't support lqr. It appeared that everything was working fine, but when I tried to use ssh to login to this box from outside was not possible. After some time of issuing the ssh command, get the following error: ssh: connect to host dsuaya.ath.cx port 22: Operation timed out. After some tests, I discovered that changing router_enable to YES in the /etc/rc.conf solved the problem. But in the section 21.2.1.5 Final System Configuration of the FreeBSD handbook states: Make sure the router program set to NO with following line in your /etc/rc.conf: router_enable=NO It is important that the routed daemon is not started (it is by default), as routed tends to delete the default routing table entries created by ppp. So, is there another manner to resolve this? Note that I'm always able to establish connections from this box to a host in the Internet but I can't establish a connection from that hosts to this one if router_enable=NO.

SSH Taking a long time then kicking me out
Hi,
I've just setup a FreeBSD 5.3 machine for a friend, its very minimal and
only has things like apache, MySQL, no X or other applications since this
machine is decided to be a webserver.
It has ssh running on it and for the past few days it has been letting me
login and change settings etc
Yesterday I gave the machine back to my friend and he has taken it far away
and now turn it on... The webserver MySQL are running great on the machine
however SSH is not :(
When I try and log in I get to the username prompt, type my name in, and
then it just hangs. The password prompt does not appear, and after about
2minutes my ssh client says the remote machine closed the connection.
Here is the output from a command line ssh

Now what's interesting is that it hangs at two different places.
I've seen this hanging issue before with poorly configured DNS, but I've
never seen it close the connection like this.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?
I would provide more information on the box such as a uname -a but I'm
unable to log in to get this :(. But I can say it was installed from the
latest 5.3 ISOs, and nothing major has been tweaked/changed.
Please help, thanks

Your src is probably already filled and it depends on whether you have ever updated your system on /usr/obj. Did you install KDE as packages or did you build the ports?. If you built the ports, did you do a make clean when you got through. If you didn't do the clean, you would recover space. I have 2.7 GB of dist files and 1.8 GB of packages that I have built. If there are new versions, you don't need the old distfiles.

I am going to do a fresh install of FreBSD 5.3 this weekend on my

My question is what special arguments should I use in the 'make.conf'
file for this project. Is it really necessary to change this file at
all? I was reading the handbook and it mentioned the 'CFLAGGS' entry
and a few others.
I'd recommend leaving CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS alone (I've only managed to
make problems when I set these),
Well, that, of course, is a matter of opinion. If you want the most
optimization possible, you could try using -O2 or even -O3. I've
been using -O3 quite successfully here lately, with the exception of a
couple of ports which required changing it to -O2.
-O is the only officially supported optimization, that of course is a
matter of opinion, but I like to error on the side of caution.
# CFLAGS controls the compiler settings used when compiling C code.
# Note that optimization settings other than -O and -O2 are not recommended
# or supported for compiling the world or the kernel - please revert any
# nonstandard optimization settings to -O before submitting bug reports
# without patches to the developers.
# Note also that at this time the -O2 setting is known to expose bugs in
# libalias(3), and possibly other parts of the system.
I believe the -pipe switch is on by default (as well as -O, but if
not, it does help to speed up builds a bit as well.
that is correct, -O and -pipe are on by default so there is no need to
add them to CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS.
but I would change CPUTYPE to your
CPU Type, options are:
AMD CPU: athlon-mp, athlon-xp, athlon-4, athlon-tbird, athlon, k6-3,
k6-2, k6, k5
And don't forget athlon64! In fact, I initially setup my amd64 box by
installing from an i386 CD set I had here, then cross-compiling the
world and kernel using -march=athlon64 -m64.
AMD CPU: athlon64, athlon-mp, athlon-xp, athlon-4, athlon-tbird, athlon,
k6-3, k6-2, k6, k5
Alpha/AXP architecture: ev67 ev6 pca56 ev56 ev5 ev45 ev4
Intel ia64 architecture: itanium
CPUTYPE?=Foobar allows to buildworld for a different CPUTYPE.
man make.conf
and read this for me examples:
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf
Intel CPU:p4, p3, p2, i686, i586/mmx, i586, i486, i386
If you want to rebuild a custom kernel add this:
KERNCONF=FOOBAR
And copy /usr/src/sys/${ARCH}/conf/GENERIC to
/usr/src/sys/${ARCH}/conf/FOOBAR and edit to taste, where ${ARCH} equals
your machine architecture (i386, amd64, etc.).
--
For your kernel config file comment out everything you don't need
(make sure you have a working kernel b4 you buildworld), i.g:
cpu I486_CPU
cpu I586_CPU
device eisa
device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives
device atapist # ATAPI tape drives
all the SCSI Controllers
etc.
Don't forget to add in sound support etc. etc.

then buildworld:
# cvsup -g -L 2 foobar-supfile (set the cvs release tag to RELENG_5_3)
# cd /usr/src
# make -j2 buildworld make -j2 buildkernel make -j2
Installkernel reboot
test your new kernel, if it works drop down to single user mode
# shutdown now
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# reboot
If system is still working then mergemaster
# mergemaster
# reboot
Done.

I have succesfully set up the server for dhcp, tftp and ftp. The VIA machine correctly loads the pxeboot file, fetches a memory filesystem and mounts it as root. All on vr0. The problem comes when the machine ends stage 3. It does no longer find vr0!? I previously had problems forcing the boot loader to use the memory file system as root device. I then had compiled the kernel with NFSCLIENT and NFS_ROOT options along with MD_ROOT. With this config the machine tried to nfs mount a root file system over vr0 - no problem finding the interface. I have now removed all options refering to NFS - BOOTP is still there. Now vr0 is not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a script: cleans up ports with a work dir and removes distfiles
that no port is refering to. Not perfect - it doesn't descend deeply
into distfiles directories. Also, I'd like to add the posibility of
removing old packages if you make package.
But, it works good enough :-)
you can also make NOCLEANDEPENDS=yes clean in /usr/ports, but this
won't remove old distfiles. If you do not use NOCLEANDEPENDS=yes, make
clean will clean out dependencies for each port which will do multimple
cleans on a lot of ports. Takes extra time.

Re: GEOM vs. vinum in FreeBSD 5.3
On Wednesday, 24 November 2004 at 15:10:47 +0800, Rene C. Mendoza wrote: Hi! I'm supposed to mirror 2 similar disk drives using FreeBSD 5.3 The thing is, I am confused which utility to use: vinum, gvinum, or geom. As I understand it, geom is still fairly new but very promising. GEOM is completely different from Vinum and gvinum. Vinum, on the other hand, seems to be stable but not as extensible as geom. They're not related. Gvinum seems to be mixture of the two. No, gvinum is the GEOM-aware version of Vinum and will replace it when it is complete. Personally, I would like to try out gvinum or geom but I don't know if these two would be suitable for production environments. Now, my questions are: 1. Is gvinum mature enough for production environments? No, I don't think so. 2. Is geom mature enough for production environments? Probably. 3. Which among the three, vinum, gvinum or geom should you recommend? They're not a choice. 5.3 uses GEOM, and you can't get past that. You have the choice of using Vinum (old, stable, but not updated for GEOM, so of only limited use) or gvinum (new, incomplete, will eventually replace Vinum). I wouldn't want to make the choice.

The only thing that still responds after the crash is the mouse. I don't know of any logs being created when rebooting by pressing reset.

I generated the new kernel and rebooted the machine with it successfully. However, still I cannot get the kernel to recognize my WG311 NetGEAR PCI card.

It is just a way of building a whole bunch of kde components by claiming the pseudoport depends on them. It will skip the parts that have already been built and begin again with fam. It is pointless to uninstall kde. You can try to build fam on its own and then return to kde3 and make. In that case fam will be skipped too along with the other components that have already been built. The problem seems to be getting the file, and if you can't do that manually, the ports won't be able to either. -- Lars Eighner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -finger for geek code- http://www.io.com/~eighner/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just a hunch. :- Kevin Kinsey ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Stuff reset after adding libraries
I found this odd, but maybe it's normal. I installed a bunch of system libraries I didn't have before in /stand/sysinstall using the CD. After that my login name (root was still there) was gone from /etc/password (home directory was still there though), in which I couldn't log in as non-root. Also, my /etc/hosts was reset to the default; my entries in that was gone. Is this normal after installing a bunch of libraries in sysinstall from the CD? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Restarting rc.conf

How monotonous is: cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d./ foreach file in . do $file restart done This does not work if a service has been changed from YES to NO (or has been removed from rc.conf). Therefore I think this is better: foreach dir in /etc/rc.d /usr/local/etc/rc.d do cd $dir foreach file in * do $file forcestop $file start done done The forcestop will stop the service, no matter what's in the rc.conf file. The start will only start the service, if the service is allowed in rc.conf. Moreover, I believe this works for 5.X only. Of course, you'd better sit at the console when you do this!
