different passwords for local and remote login?
Hi, is it possible to have a different password for local (console, xdm) and remote (ssh) logins? I have a separate password database for my imap-server (dovecot), and I was wondering whether this is possible with OpenSSH, too.

I cannot find instructions in the official documentation, nor in the FreeBSD Dairy. Lots of places tell how to build a VINUM system. Nobody ever takls about how to recover from a disk failure. Can someone PLEASE help me recover? I have already posted complete information to this list, with no answer. I will give a short version now and provide more info if requested. Hi Orville, We have successfully replaced failed drives in Vinum RAID-5 volumes several times, on a couple of different machines. Obviously no guarantees that these steps will work for you, but this is what we did: 1. Pull the failed drive. The machines in question use Intel L440GX+ boards with hot-swap SCSI drive cages, so this was as simple as popping out the dead drive. 2. Plug in a new drive. The hardware and FreeBSD seemed quite happy with this, whether because the new drive was identical to the old one, or our SCSI layer is just smart enough to deal with this, I don't know. I've never had to replace a failed drive with a larger one, so I have no idea if this would work or not. 3. Clean any existing partition table and boot blocks off the new drive, just in case: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=1k count=1 4. Put a default BSD disklabel on the new drive: # disklabel -w -r da0 auto 5. Edit the disklabel to add the Vinum partition: # disklabel -e -r da0 Just copy the 'c' partition line to 'a', change the partition type to 'vinum' and clear out the 'fsize' and 'bsize' fields. You can always check the disklabel on one of the other drives to see what it should look like. Of course this assumes you're dedidating the entire disk to the Vinum partition. If replacing the failed drive with a larger disk, adjust accordingly - the important thing is that the new partition is the same size as the old one. 6. Tell vinum to restart the failed subdisk: # vinum start raid.p0.s0 7. Wait ages while the new disk is 'revived'. I was quite impressed that the volume remained available with users accessing it throughout this procedure :-) To play it safe you might want to unmount the volume before starting. There was one instance where the machine was for some reason rebooted after the drive failure - vinum somehow completely forgot about that subdisk when it came back up. I *think* we fixed this by generating a new vinum config just for that subdisk, something like: drive d0 device /dev/da0a Once this was done vinum seemed happy to rebuild on the new drive. This procedure has worked for us several times, but I have no idea if it's the 'right' way to do this. Maybe we're just really lucky. So if you follow these instructions and end up trashing your disks, it's not my fault. I *really* recommend having a recent backup before starting, assuming the volume is still readable, just in case. Good luck!

Harddisk speed: PIO4 vs. UDMA66 controller ?
Hi, I have a PII PC running 5.3. The output of 'dmesg' has a line: atapci0: VIA 82C596B UDMA66 controller [...] at device 7.1 on pci0 And at the end, it says: ad0: 43979MB IBM-DTLA-307045/TX6OA50C [89355/16/63] at ata0-master PIO4 acd0: CDROM CRD-8520B/1.00 at ata1-master PIO4 The harddisk is very new and can do UDMA100. With a UDMA66 controller I expect the harddisk to operate at least at 66 MB/sec. Any ideas why the speed is only PIO4? Having a UDMA100 harddisk, working at PIO4 is too much of a pity, but 66 MB/sec would be OK.

Re: intermittent ath0
scott renna wrote: I've been running 5.3 for a little bit now using a d-link g520 wireless card(ath0) and using a netgear 802.11b router. I've noticed a problem with intermittancy. My system seems to have issues maintaining steady data flow for long periods of time. I just noticed my system is unresponsive again so i stuck a head on it. when i try to ping my gateway I get the message: ping: sendto: No buffer space available I thought maybe using Windows drivers would fix this issue as my wireless windows laptop has no problems. has anyone else run across this situation? I posted last week similar observation. My atheros based pccard only works if inserted on boot, or at least before starting any memory heavy applications such as Mozilla and OpenOffice, while XEmacs is no problem. If I insert the card after I have started Mozilla, I need to reboot to bring it up. I have also observed the No buffer space available error. It appears that the card needs a reserved continuous chunk of memory to work properly. As you use your laptop, some apps fragment the memory. I have also experienced that if the card has been idle for a while it sort of disconnects. Using arping I can get things up again, but not with a simple ping? I don't think usin NDIS will solve the problem. AFAIK NDIS is for use when everything else fails or a driver is not available.

Are you sure your hub/switch supports 100 MBit/s? yes. Do you have any 10Mbs only devices on the network? (some hubs will not allow two different speeds) Are you sure your wires are all cat-5, with all wires connected (iirc 10baseT uses less wires than 100), and good. (I've seen mice eat previously working cables, depending on the exact damage done the cable may still work at 10) Are you sure this card supports the same protocol as your hub? Back when 100 megabit ethernet first came out there were several different incompatible protocols. Most of those cards would step down to 10mbs if they couldn't agree on a protocol. (as I recall the hardware engineers said about the auto speed select abilities is that the good news is it worked, and the two end points were able to agree on a common speed. The bad news is you are now running at 10Mbs) This situation settled down quickly, but if this card/hub combination has never been working at 100Mbs, it might be an issue you are having. I'm focusing on hardware, because that is a common issue. It could be FreeBSD, but often it isn't. i have used this card on this laptop on three different 10/100 mbit lans, always using the same cat 5 cables as the other hosts. transferring data on these networks with other hosts works at the typical 100mbit transfer rates of 7-9 megabytes/sec. thus, i assume i can exclude the possibilty of a hardware problem outside of my computer. martin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: semaphore problem with Bakbone's Netvault on FreeBSD 4.10
In the meantime Bakbone support managed to send me a working (binary) patch fixing the problem and I was asked by Bakbone to post this information. So, if you experience the problem described below, please contact Bakbone support. Best regards, Georg Altmann --On Montag, November 22, 2004 19:33:51 +0100 Georg Altmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a problem running the backup software Netvault from Bakbone (http://www.bakbone.com) under FreeBSD 4.10. We are using Netvault to make backups of two servers and several workstations in our network. Backups are first staged to disk and later transferred to an ADIC FastStor 2 (LTO 1) library. The problem occurs when the backup is transferred from disk to tape and if the backup job spans multiple tapes (not virtual media!): Netvault recognizes the end-of-media, loads a new media for the job and then hangs endlessly trying to write to the new media. Bakbone claims, that this is a problem with SysV shared memory and semaphores in FreeBSD (and therefore not their software). Their support also sent me a patch for Netvault (unfortunately not a binary one, so I cannot test it) which is allegedly known to work around the problem. I attached it below. Note the added #if defined(PLATFORM_FREEBSD) bits in the code. To my understanding, the patched code polls the semaphore instead of waiting for it. Please also note, that I configured Netvault to use network sockets instead of shared mem for the transfer and the problem persists (I did this by only selecting TCP Data Transfer in the configure device tab for both the tape and the virtual library and by adding [Data Channels]\nForce Sockets=TRUE to configure.cfg as proposed by Bakbone support, for anyone familiar with netvault). So I assume, the problem is really only related to semaphores and not at all to shared memory(?). I hope that someone can guess from the code if this really leads to a deadlock because of a FreeBSD bug in SysV sempaphore handling. I have already skimmed FreeBSD PRs for semaphore bugs, but no post really seemed related to this specific problem (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?category=severity=prior ity=class=state=sort=nonetext=semaphoreresponsible=multitext=origi nator=closedtoo=onrelease=).

this was increased to 4 GB, so I dropped the filesize to 4095 MB, but it

The mkisofs of sysutils/cdrtools has the 2 GB limitation; the mkisofs
installed by sysutils/cdrtools-devel does not.

how can I get sysutils/dvd+rw-tools to use the newer version, is it just a
matter of deinstalling them both and changing the dependence in
pkgtools.conf?
The sysutils/dvd+rw-tools port just looks to see if you have a
${LOCALBASE}/bin/mkisofs present. If not, it will install the
sysutils/cdrtools port. Because sysutils/cdrtools-devel installs into
the same place as sysutils/cdrtools, if you have the
sysutils/cdrtools-devel port installed then sysutils/dvd+rw-tools will
use its version of mkisofs.
But, I would issue a big caveat about what you are proposing to do: you
may be able to burn the DVD, but it is likely that you will not be able
to access the large ( 2 GB) file under FreeBSD from the burned disc.
I ran into this problem myself. I wanted to burn a 2 GB file to DVD
and was able to do this successfully after installing the
sysutils/cdrtools-devel version of mkisofs and using the sysutils/dvd
+rw-tools port. But, attempts to access the file fail from the mounted
burned DVD. For example, if you try and ls the file, you'll get
something along the lines of ls: foo.tgz: Value too large to be stored
in data type and attempts to access the file will fail.
I believe the problem is that the kernel cd9660 filesystem support in
FreeBSD only understands the older 2 GB format. BTW, I could use the
file under Windows XP, and was able to verify the file correct via a MD5
checksum against the original file I burned. The file on DVD was
unusable under FreeBSD, though.
So, because you might be burning FreeBSD-specific data (GBDE), the
ability to access the burned data under FreeBSD sounds like a necessity.
You should consider the caveat I mentioned, therefore, and perhaps try
and slice your data into 2 GB pieces. (DVD-Video slices its video
into 1 GB pieces.)
Cheers,
Paul.

Replace it something like BeerStud.rcn.com although you would be best using a domain name you owned rather than someone else's domain. I had a problem similar to this.

First you can find out what your real host name is by using: traceroute your.ip.address that will output some information like this: traceroute to your.ip.address (your.ip.address), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 here.will.be.your.host.name (your.ip.address) 0.508 ms 0.547 ms 0.650 ms As mentioned before, the host name will not have any @. This will be your real host name assigned by your ISP and is what you should use unless you have some reason not to. Second you could probably use the /etc/hosts file to map any name to your current ip address. I have not done this so I am just guessing on this point. It is likely far easier to use your real host name as described above.

Even thus soundmax, the pcm0 is recognized by dmesg but appears detached and /dev/dsp and /dev/sndstat not exist. any idea? thanks all, Zumba. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sorry to bother you ,but...
Dear [EMAIL PROTECTED] GTK-Server is a program that allows scripts to have a graphical interface with I/O. It also works with several programming languages. The one I am most interested in is yabasic. I am working with Peter Van Eerten to try to get GTK-Server working on FreeBSD 5.3. Peter is the author and the software works great on linux and windows. Peter has managed to get it compiled on FreeBSd5.3, however when run a yabasic demo program that uses GTK-Server, I get an error message that library nss_dns.so.1 is missing. I have searched the ports tree and found references to this in files in these locations... eshop1# grep -r -i nss_dns /usr/ports/* /usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools-6/pkg-plist.alpha:usr/lib/libnss_dns.so /usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools-6/pkg-plist.i386:usr/lib/libnss_dns.so /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads/files/patch-aa:-otherlibs += $(nssobjdir)/libnss_files.ans.a \ /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns-2.2.4.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.1.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns-2.2.4.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns-2.1.3.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.1.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns-2.1.3.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-debian/pkg-plist:lib/libnss_dns-2.2.5.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-debian/pkg-plist:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 I am not enough of an expert or guru to know how to get this library installed , or even if it should be installed on a FBSD5.3 system.

Re: mkisofs and large files
growisofs is your solution. It is in the dvd+r-tools port in /usr/pots/sysutils. This was supposed to be a front end to mkisofs and therefore handles most of the options that mkisofs has. It also allows you to burn directly to disc! (I use this one a lot, great for backups). -Randy RW wrote: On Wednesday 08 December 2004 17:42, Paul Mather wrote: On Wed, 8 Dec 2004 04:08:12 +, RW [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been trying to burn a single large file (a 4.2 GB encrypted gbde filesystem within a file) to a DVD, but mkisofs tells me the file is too large.

configuration of XFree86
Leon writes: Hi, I'm first time installing FreeBSD. I'm trying to configure X server. And I have a problem with configuring of X server. I use the instructions for installation and configuration. Which says: use /stand/sysinstall Take Configure Then pick XFree86 Newer versions of FreeBSD (and Linux, and others) use X.Org instead of XFree86. Use that. If you start from scratch, use the X developer (or any other X) distro, and everything you'll need will be installed. Once done with sysinstall, type xorgconfig to run the X.Org setup tool (all from your root account). In your user account, create a suitable .xinitrc file in your home directory. One line like: startkde (if you install KDE) or afterstep (if you like it simple) should be enought. Then type startx to fire up the X Window system. The problem is that I can't find XFree86; it's not there. So, how can I configure X server? Can you send me a link,or instruction how can I do it? And the second question is the funny one. How can I see help on the FreeBSD? I have tried MAIN but it did not work. What command should I use? Help is spelled man on Unix (and yes, it's case-sensitive).

FAT32 Partition?
I'm having problems accessing a shared FAT32 partition in FreeBSD 5.3. When I try to mount the partition, it says: bad FAT32 filesystem. I'll explain what I'm trying to do, and what I've tried. I have one hard drive, and I'm trying to get Windows XP Pro, FreeBSD 5.3, and Fedora on it. I want to have one FAT32 partition that is shared between all three operating systems. Here's the steps I've followed. - Install Windows XP Pro create a primary partition, NTFS - Install FreeBSD 5.3 create a primary partition, UFS2 - Install Fedora manually partition with disk druid, create a boot partition, FAT partition, and swap drive Here's what the partitions look like to Fedora. hdc1 ntfs (Primary) hdc2 bsd (Primary) hdc3 / ext3 (Primary) hdc4 Extended hdc5 /share vfat hdc6 swap When tried this way, the FAT32 partition is created by Fedora. The partition can be read + written to in Windows XP, and Fedora. In FreeBSD I can't mount it. Can FreeBSD 5.3 read FAT32 partitions on extended partitions? When I create the FAT32 partition as a primary partition I can read and write to it in FreeBSD fine. Does anyone have advice on how I can do this. If so let me know. Thanks.

Also 2 x win2k sp4 machines (1800) and 80gt DMA133 drives. the problem is only when i try to transfer files between the win2k machines. about 100mb of stuff and win2k tells me that it lasts 25minutes. And it does. The hub collision led is most of the time on. I think this should be faster. I´dont know if this problem is caused by samba or freebsd at all but i can´t really find any info about just this kind of problem or being just stupid or something. Everything else works fine. did also the TCPDUMP stuff i´dont know if this helps 21:53:58.545956 192.168.255.254.2751 192.168.0.2.netbios-ssn: P 3841245174:3841245227(53) ack 4235200213 win 17308 NBT Packet (DF) 21:53:58.546134 192.168.0.2.netbios-ssn 192.168.255.254.2751: P 1:54(53) ack 53 win 16195 NBT Packet (DF) And so on with that ack value growing? here is also the smb.conf file...

RE: Help needed re Mozilla with libjavaplugin_oji_so
This makes sense to me. I too suspect it is some kind of version problem. On Linux machines I had to use mozilla 1.7.3 to get this plugin working fine. Previous versions did not work. FreeBSD ports have version 1.7.2. I believe FreeBSD should make this 1.7.3 or newer versions of mozilla available in the ports. By the way, I did try to link libjavaplugin.so to libjavaplugin_oji.so as recommended Paul Schmehl and that did not work, I had the same errors. I also tried it with different versions of plugin and had the same error. It won't work, maybe because it requires mozilla 1.7.3 instead like it does on Linux. If you have the plugin working fine with netscape then I would like to see it working with mozilla as well.. And if works with mozilla then I would like to see which version of mozilla used. I will try this ldconfig when I have a chance. It will take some time though as I will have to reinstall FreeBSD on my machine, I don't like its current state after all this... Again, please if there is anybody out there using mozilla and got it working with java plugin I would like to hear from them what version of mozilla and which plugin they use...etc Thank you, Turker Dundar -Original Message- From: Kees Plonsz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 9 December 2004 12:50 AM To: Dundar Turker; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Help needed re Mozilla with libjavaplugin_oji_so Dundar Turker wrote: Thanks for the quick reply...

Re: Multiple IPs in jail
It would be AWESOME if FreeBSD supported multiple IPs per jail. In my opinion, this is one of FreeBSD's greatest disadvantages on the virtual server market, as some specific customers will always require multiple IPs (shell providers for one). Also, interface virtualization and firewalls inside jails would be another killer feature.. I believe 4.10 now has a working patch which lets this happen.. Multiple IP jails + Interface virtualization/firewalls per jails would bring FreeBSD even further on the server market. I think this should be worked for the 5.4-RELEASE. Just my 2 cents.

idiot 5.3 disk question
Greets, I haven't been following FreeBSD much at all lately, having gotten a Linx admin job, so forgive me: I'm installing FreeBSD 5.3 on a new machine. I've added a second disk, and 80Gig Maxtor IDE drive. I use sysinstall to partition it, and run disklabel/newfs, etc, mounting it as /storage. In sysinstall, it shows the disk as being 78G - that's fine. 1024 != 1000. However, when I run df -h it tells me the disk's capacity is 74G, there's 4.0K in use (it's empty), but only 68G is available. I'm just confused about where the 12G went. Anyone have any helpful pointers to help me understand? Also, what's the .snap/ directory for?

Question about updating 5.3
There seem to be a LOT of great articles about how to update a freebsd system. But they all seem to recommend a different approach. I am looking for a simple way to keep the OS up to date. Background info: I am going to be running a few FreeBSD production servers. I need to document everything first. I have a cvsup file that looks like this: *default host=cvsup4.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all I would update FreeBSD like this: # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot boot in single user mode # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot However, I recently read about make update. Should I be using this instead? Any advice is appreciated. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cotton bud and rubing alchool, thooth paste, sliver cleaning paste, car polish... OK use alchool last to rinse the contacts... That can help. Especially is the machine has to deal with some difficult environment, has been moved recently, etc. Did that last Sunday, the machine would not even boot, memory problem was detected at the very first check of memory by the BIOS.

CVSup and Building World
Earlier this evening I did a full CVSup on a FreeBSD 4.9 machine using RELENG_4, built and installed the kernel and world. My question is: are all the patches released since the last release came out included when I use CVSup? Or is it still necessary to patch the system after install? My guess is the CVSup will already include patches for known issues, but it's better safe than sorry so I'm asking anyway!

My atheros based pccard only works if inserted on boot, or at least before starting any memory heavy applications such as Mozilla and OpenOffice, while XEmacs is no problem. If I insert the card after I have started Mozilla, I need to reboot to bring it up. I have also observed the No buffer space available error. It appears that the card needs a reserved continuous chunk of memory to work properly. As you use your laptop, some apps fragment the memory. I have also experienced that if the card has been idle for a while it sort of disconnects. Using arping I can get things up again, but not with a simple ping? I don't think usin NDIS will solve the problem. AFAIK NDIS is for use when everything else fails or a driver is not available.
