Re: get local sendmail to use MX records
I'm 100% sure this is not the case and here is why. I figured something out. All my servers do the same thing. It has something to do with the reverse DNS pointers of some domains. For example. I have (another) server running with 20 domains under 4 ip addresses where I never ever touched sendmail or its configuration files. 4 of the domains have a reverse DNS pointer to one of the 4 ips. Sendmail handles 16 domains well (= looks up MX records and delegates the mail to the right server) and tries to handle the mail of 4 domains itself. Needles to say that those 4 domains are the ones that have reverse pointers to the 4 ips attached to that particular server. I tested this on 5 servers and its the same everywhere. I hope one of you knows what to do with this information. I spotted the problem now, but I don't know how to solve it. Clearly sendmail prefers a reverse pointer to a domain above looking up the MX records and using them, but how can I let it stop doing that?

I mentioned that blackbox is what I use for administrative logins because you have to build it from the ground up (not in any literal sense (ie, not from a wm-developers point of view), but from the wm-user's view (for instance, I find the default menu (the purpose of the wm) to be pretty bare for my taste and therefore needs to be customized (built up).

there's only a check whether the pid specified in ...
/usr/local/etc/clamav-clamd.sh

Two things you can test:
If you are running ClamAV in UNIX domain socket mode,
there must be an appropriate UNIX domain socket file
somewhere, because Amavis tries to connect to the ClamAV
daemon using this socket. Usually this socket is specified
in 'clamd.conf'.
I would say if there's not such a socket file, your
ClamAV daemon is quiete unusable because nobody is able
to connect to the daemon instance.
If you are running ClamAV in TCP/IP mode you can do the
telnet test again. The TCP/IP port ClamAV listens to is
specified in 'clamd.conf' as well.
Finally try running /usr/local/sbin/clamd manually from
the command line to see whether it spits out some error
messages ...

Basically if clamd is not running Amavis will execute the
commandline scanner version of ClamAV. That's the reason why
you are still getting log entries.
So to sumarize: ClamAV's daemon is not running, thus
there is neither a PID file nor a UNIX domain socket.
So if you want to use the daemonized version of ClamAV,
you need to elaborate why the daemon isn't started.

Although it doesn't state FreeBSD, I understand that Yahoo! runs stuff on FreeBSD. Besides, the point of the article is not regarding a migration of Yahoo, but Linux and IT in general. It has nothing to do with Yahoo or FreeBSD. I think that the author of the article is simply mistaking. I'n not sure I agree with that. The author stated But in December, Yahoo started to port ... to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 That would suggest that Yahoo! is moving to Linux. I am very interested in this as I have for several years used the argument we use the same OS as Yahoo!. We're not going to migrate to Linux if Yahoo! does. The speaker cited in the article is a Mason Ng, Yahoo's director of engineering operations However I found a Kevin Timmons, director, engineering operations, Yahoo when I googled this up. http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2004/040112b.html http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=1106 I've found numerous references to him in conjunction with Yahoo. Interestingly, I also found Mason Ng listed as well - here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/oracleworld/ow_j2ee.html as an Oracle Group Product manager. But, very few other references to that name. As it's a rather unique name, I would suspect that the Mason Ng in the article and the one listed as an Oracle employee last year are one and the same person. I would presume that if the article in Computerworld was in fact an accurate quote, that what has happened is that Yahoo has decided to move to using Oracle as a backend database, and they stole an Oracle manager away from Oracle to oversee the move. As Linux is the only open source OS that Oracle ships on, and Yahoo obviously wants to keep using open source, it gets elected as the platform. Keep in mind that in 2004, Yahoo stopped using google results, see here: http://www.infotoday.com/online/jul04/OnTheNet.shtml This represented a return to their roots. Back in 1995 when Yahoo first got going, it was only their own links on a cobbled-together software database. Then later on in 1998 they switched to the Inktomi database, see here: http://notess.com/write/archive/9904.html Obviously then sometime later than that, when the search market started these large monster OEM search providers, Yahoo started using Google, as did may other search engines. Then once the users started noticing that they were getting the same results no matter what search engine was being used, sites like Yahoo realized they better differentiate their products and so they went back to developing their own database. Yahoo still uses FreeBSD according to this FAQ: http://www.ystoreclick.com/yahoo-store-faqs.html And I would assume that they will probably only use Red Hat where they want to field Oracle. Note also that Yahoo is moving to Red Hat Linux according to the article. NOT moving to Linux Red Hat is not free, it is a commercial server product just like Microsoft's operating systems. Fedora - that is free. But they aren't moving to Fedora, they are moving to Red Hat. I think that there is enough circumstantial evidence of what is really going on for educated guesses to be drawn. Doubtless further googling will reveal more info about Yahoo to anyone interested. But clearly, Yahoo has correctly realized that it's database is the real valuable part of the company, and they have decided to get out of the roll-your-own database software business. Oracle is the obvious choice as it's designed for large scale operations, exactly what Yahoo is running. But if your going to run Oracle, you won't get any support from Oracle unless you run it on a supported operating system. I also seriously question that Yahoo's database was ever in the past running on FreeBSD. I suspect their model was an identical model to Hotmail's - a small core of strange database servers (Yahoo originally ran indy's, see http://www.sun.com/950523/yahoostory.html for their very first database) surrounded by a bunch of cheap Pentiums running FreeBSD as front end servers. Now they are moving to replace that core with an Oracle core. But there's no indication that they are going to replace the shell of FreeBSD servers with RedHat. Quite obviously Yahoo regards the internal workings of their technology as trade secrets, that is why there's not a lot of documentation out on the web on it. Now, I will address one other point,

They also got rid of the alt-F keys for the multiple consoles. I think they were looking for ways to be degenerate. ;-) 2.6 also included it's own perl, and I think later versions did too. Blech on that if you needed a later version of perl on the system. It also didn't help that Sun for several years was FUDing the industry claiming they wern't going to support the Intel 64 bit chips. And check out the lack of /dev/random, /dev/urandom on 2.6 and 8 if I recall - problem for OpenSSL even though a Sun patch adds them. Although the Sun-supplied random devices blow chunks when running ENT or other PRNG testers. I kind of expect crappy entropy from a hacked up ripoff of the linux random driver, but I really expected a lot better entropy from a driver distributed from the maunfacturer. After all, Sun can look at interrupts at the network card and all kinds of other icky nonportable but highly unpredictable fantastic randomness sources - just what the heck are they doing in that driver of theirs? Calculating pi? Unless perhaps the NSA got to them and told them they better not release a decent random device because they want to keep spying on all of us. Seriously, the later versions of Solaris after 2.6 were big disappointments, It took years and years for hardware to catch up. Big, poky and slow. I don't know what they did but a 2.51 or 2.6 system on the same hardware kicked the crap out of 8 even with full patch sets applied. And the Companion CD didn't start supplying gcc for Solaris x86 until Solaris 8 I believe. These Solaris versions were fine for big companies with lots of money to buy brand new Sun boxes (which ran them well) They were hideous for not so big companies that didn't want to have to throw perfectly good quad Pentium 200 servers with EISA hardware raid controllers and big SCSI arrays on them in the garbage.

So TCP connections that are generated in the correct sequence will be allowed, but bouncing random TCP packets with weird flag combinations off your server will be filtered. You will need additional rules to support starting up outgoing connections. Note that this only works for TCP --- UDP, ICMP and other protocols have no corresponding concept of 'open' or 'closed' connection state. Note too that there is nothing to prevent port scanners simply setting the 'SYN' flag in the probe packets they send to your server. Now is there a way to allow setup connections but disallow port scanners like nmap from seeing it as being open? If you want people to be able to SSH into your systems from outside, then you have to have port 22 (or some port with sshd listening on it) open. In that case, you can not prevent people using tools like nmap to discover that the port is open. In recent months there has been a lot of automated scanning for SSH servers and attempts to break in via some account/password pairs which were created by default on some Linux distros. The answer to securing your server against such probes is not to attempt to hide the fact that you're running a SSH server, but to enforce security policies on how ssh is used: -- root login via SSH is not permitted (The 'PermitRootLogin no' setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config). -- Make sure that all accounts that do not correspond to real users have locked passwords and /sbin/nologin as their shell. -- Force all users either to use key-based auth for remote acccess, or use one-time passwords (opie), or use Kerberos, or failing that (and only as a last resort) permit password auth, but enforce a strict good password policy. That means regularly running a password cracker against your password file and locking out accounts where the password can be broken.

IPv6 with IPsec on FreeBSD 4.10-R with racoon-20040408a
When setting up IPsec at my home using FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE and
racoon-20040408a, I came across a problem with IPv6 and IPsec.
First, here is the relevant information about my setup.
I have two computers in my network, each assigned a global unicast
address (do not worry about my abuse of these unicast addresses, my
network is completely isolated from the Internet):
Computer A is assigned 2001:0:2:3:20a:5eff:fe47:9709, and
Computer B is assigned 2001:0:2:3:260:8ff:fe7f:68b1
Both computers runs a 4.10-RELEASE kernel compiled with:
options INET
options INET6
options IPSEC
options IPSEC_ESP
options IPSEC_DEBUG
Both computers use racoon-20040408a, installed as a precompiled package,
for dynamical keying.
The racoon.conf on both computers looks like this:
path include /etc/racoon;
path pre_shared_key /etc/racoon/pre_shared_keys;
timer {
counter 20;
interval 25 sec;
phase1 20 sec;
phase2 20 sec;
}
remote anonymous {
exchange_mode main,aggressive,base;
doi ipsec_doi;
situation identity_only;
my_identifier address;
lifetime time 1 hour;
initial_contact on;
passive off;
proposal_check obey;
send_cert off;
send_cr off;
verify_cert off;
proposal {
encryption_algorithm blowfish;
hash_algorithm sha1;
authentication_method pre_shared_key;
dh_group 2;
}
}
sainfo anonymous {
pfs_group 2;
lifetime time 30 min;
encryption_algorithm blowfish 448,rijndael 256,cast128,3des;
authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1,hmac_md5;
compression_algorithm deflate;
}
I have trimmed the IPsec policy rules down to these ones (taken from
computer A):
# Flush the entries.
spdflush;
# ISAKMP between computers A and B may use ESP and AH.
spdadd 2001:0:2:3:20a:5eff:fe47:9709[500] 2001:0:2:3:260:8ff:fe7f:68b1[500]
udp -P out ipsec esp/transport//use ah/transport//use;
spdadd 2001:0:2:3:260:8ff:fe7f:68b1[500] 2001:0:2:3:20a:5eff:fe47:9709[500]
udp -P in ipsec esp/transport//use ah/transport//use;
# Any other traffic between computers A and B must use ESP and AH.
spdadd 2001:0:2:3:20a:5eff:fe47:9709 2001:0:2:3:260:8ff:fe7f:68b1 any -P out
ipsec esp/transport//require ah/transport//require;
spdadd 2001:0:2:3:260:8ff:fe7f:68b1 2001:0:2:3:20a:5eff:fe47:9709 any -P in
ipsec esp/transport//require ah/transport//require;
The policy rules on computer B corresponds to the ones above.
Similar policy rules for IPv4 works like a dream on my network, so why
does not it work for IPv6?
With the policy rules above in effect, racoon on both computers uses
almost infinite time when attempting to negotiate the keying for IPv6.
I.e., racoon is getting nowhere when it tries to initiate phase 1, and
racoon on neither computer seems to care of or even receive the
replies from each other. There are no firewalls between my computers,
nor does any of my computers run a firewall.
Contrast the above with these policy rules in effect:
# Flush the entries.
spdflush;
# Traffic between computers A and B may use ESP and AH.
spdadd 2001:0:2:3:20a:5eff:fe47:9709 2001:0:2:3:260:8ff:fe7f:68b1 any -P out
ipsec esp/transport//use ah/transport//use;
spdadd 2001:0:2:3:260:8ff:fe7f:68b1 2001:0:2:3:20a:5eff:fe47:9709 any -P in
ipsec esp/transport//use ah/transport//use;
It seems that phase 1 completes when I do not force the use of IPsec.
Should I specify require in my IPv6 policy rules and include policy
rules that allow IPv6 ISAKMP to pass unencrypted, phase 1 never
succeeds when the computer has just rebooted.
Should I boot the computer with use in the IPv6 policy rules and
later change use to require while racoon is running, phase 1 has
already completed so all that remains is phase 2. In this case there
are obviously no need for the special ISAKMP policy rules.
Once phase 1 is done, phase 2 completes independently on whether I
specify use or require in the policy rules. And strangely enough,
this only happens with IPv6. As I said before, IPv4 with IPsec works
like a charm, even with require and the special ISAKMP policy rules.
Personally, I can live with use instead of require in my IPv6
policy rules, but it is unbearable for environments where this is not
acceptable.
Hopefully someone will look into this matter and possibly fix it.
Please contact me if I have left out any details you need to know.

I hate (read: suck at) programming. Thanks in advance for any insight/info on this Hi all, I've read 2-3 archived posts to the -CURRENT mailing list dating back to September about the atheros driver on FreeBSD not supporting the DLink DWL-530. I haven't seen much about it since, and a patch that was available then didn't work for this particular model either. Before I go out and buy a DWL-520 instead, can anyone tell me if this model is now supported on the atheros driver? My goal is to use this NIC in my FreeBSD gateway and use it as an access point as well. This card seems great because it's got great speed, backward compatibility and a detachable antenna that's more convenient than if it were hiding behind the tower.

I've heard about mfs but it statically allocates memory from the VM, I'd prefer if allocation was done only as needed on demand. Yes -- correct, it is called 'mdmfs' under 5.x -- but it isn't necessarily true that it allocates memory out of VM: depending on the arguments used when configuring the underlying md(4) device, the memory can be swap or file backed. When it's used to provide a /tmp filesystem, it is specifically swap backed. As is explained in the mdmfs(8) man page. Add the following to /etc/rc.conf to enable using a memory filesystem for /tmp: tmpmfs=YES tmpsize=128m Note that tmpsize should be smaller than the amount of swap space on your machine -- preferably quite a bit smaller -- or you can end up with a situation where any user can potentially DoS your server simply by creating files under /tmp Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 8 Dane Court Manor School Rd PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Tilmanstone Tel: +44 1304 617253 Kent, CT14 0JL UK pgpezNfsZvm2x.pgp Description: PGP signature

Just off the top of my head, check that your DNS is working. My guess is that the sshd is trying to do a reverse DNS lookup, when you have the network configured.

Re: Is Yahoo! moving from FreeBSD?
That doesen't mean of course that it's impossible to do it - you can for example use Solaris for a small company server - but the effort required to go against the grain is much higher. Solaris for example comes with no compiler and you must compile by hand all the applications you need, and often you must recompile the complier just before you can even start doing that. It takes days - whereas the FreeBSD ports system takes a few hours for the largest and most complex packages. Just as a side notes here: 1/ Solaris does come with 'gcc' on Compagnion CD as can be seen on a fresh Solaris 10 installation: # pkginfo -l SUNWgcc | egrep PKGINST|NAME|VERSION|VENDOR|DESC PKGINST: SUNWgcc NAME: gcc - The GNU C compiler VERSION: 11.10.0,REV=2005.01.08.05.16 VENDOR: Sun Microsystems, Inc. DESC: GNU C - The GNU C compiler 3.4.3 2/ You can always use the pkgsrc (the NetBSD Packages Collection) as the FreeBSD ports system replacement for use on Sun Solaris. We do it here already for some software for Solaris 2.6, 8, 9 and soon for 10. What possible benefit does that give for Solaris which already has it's own package manager? Your certainly not advocating using the NetBSD presets for compiling packages on Solaris? Yes, i do. This is one of the aim of this initial fork of the FreeBSD ports collection (pkgsrc) to be used on multiple plateform and operating system (NetBSD, Solaris, Linux, AIX, etc.: a list of all the supported OSes can be found at http://www.pkgsrc.org/). Sure, it is not perfect, but it is a valuable tool. Because sunfreeware.com provide binary only packages for Solaris, it is very convenient to be able to compile our own set of packages from source (and use our particular settings) or be able to install a software not provided on sunfreeware.com or not yet updated. It can then be possible to track and keep a real personalized third party software baseline on multiple release versions of one or more OSes (for example, have the same version of compilation tools or web server on Solaris 2.6, Solaris 9 and Linux). I don't think _one_ tool can solve of all problems, but use both the native and non-native (pkgsrc) tools/package manager can be a good compromise. The advantages i think of (at least :-)) - As with the FreeBSD ports collection, we can use an existing base of packages building from source (generally well up-to-date) with our own settings; - Management of software (or tools) dependancies; - Automatic checking for security vulnerabilities in installed packages; - Can generate binary package from our own sets, either manually or automatically using the bulk builds (for deployment for example); - Although compiled from source, you can managed installed packages via the pkg_* tools which is more convenient than from hands in /usr/local; - Don't interfer with supported native packages (from Sun) or non- supported packages (from sunfreeware.com, etc.). As a side note, it is interesting to note that although not considered part of Solaris 10 you can found a _reference_ to the The NetBSD Packages Collection on the Compagnion CD provided by Sun[1], among others. It would seems furthermore than there exists a specialized group in the NetBSD Project to handle specific PRs on this plateform (solaris-pkg-people) and that Sun will be using some form of pkgsrc for its contrib packages extras in Solaris[2] (i have not yet verify this). Last, Sun has contributed some hardware to help making bulk builds of pkgsrc on Solaris OS[3]. I don't say i disagree with your global point of view, just that the last two points may be slightly... moderated :) Solaris 2.6, 8, 9, 10 don't run on EISA. They also got rid of the alt-F keys for the multiple consoles. Yes, right :( 2.6 also included it's own perl, and I think later versions did too. Blech on that if you needed a later version of perl on the system. On Solaris 10 plateform, you can found Perl 5.8.4 and Perl 5.6.1. The default is to place Perl 5.8.4 as /usr/bin/perl. These Solaris versions were fine for big companies with lots of money to buy brand new Sun boxes (which ran them well). They were hideous for not so big companies that didn't want to have to throw perfectly good quad Pentium 200 servers with EISA hardware raid controllers and big SCSI arrays on them in the garbage. Maybe we can hope this will change in near future, with Solaris 10+. And try building something like ImageMagik on Solaris 10 I will bet that at least 1 of the collection of libraries that this conglomerate program requires will not build without tweaks. Certainly. (FYI: currently, it breaks on the graphics/jasper dependancy on the 2004-Q4 branch) So, if there is no native solution (binary packages or anything else), and if the FreeBSD ports collection is the favorite answer, i think that the pkgsrc answer may be a very good solution, even with

The problem is that the largest companies need more than just a technically superior operating system.

Boot Manager
I have two hard drives in my computer and I installed FreeBsd on my second hard drive (slave). Boot manager was also installed on my primary hard drive (c:\). Now I decided to remove FreeBsd from this computer and transfer it to another computer. Problem: The computer is still prompting me at boot time to choose between two systems (when there is only one to choose from, ie. Win98). How do I get rid of this prompt and let the system boot normally as before? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Strange IP problem with 5.3 STABLE #2
Hello. We have a Dell PE 1850 (dual Intel PRO/1000 nics, em driver) running FreeBSD 5.3 STABLE #2. The generic kernel has been configured to include IPFW and SMP as follows: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPDIVERT options SMP No other changes have been made. The firewall options in rc.conf are as follows: firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN firewall_quiet=NO The problem is that some IP addresses on our class C subnet do not work. I mean the NIC can be configured to use the IP address and it shows up in ifconfig output, but the system cannot be pinged or otherwise accessed from outside the subnet. Within the subnet it is fine. The only other reference I have found to a similar issue is one involving VLANs http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-November/042591.html but I think my problem is different as I am not configuring any VLANs. Also rebooting the system makes no difference. I had been using the RELENG_5_3 branch and run into this problem. I switched to RELENG_5, rebuilt the system, and the IPs that were giving me problems started working. Now, however, I have found another one that does not work. I am running 5_3 on other Dell and non-Dell systems but with different network cards and have not encountered this problem. The problem also occurs intermittently with the GENERIC kernel. This leads me to believe the cause may be related to Intel PRO/1000 and/or em driver. Any help is much appreciated?

Wrong thing to do. HP is well supported under open source operating systems, Lexmark isn't. Indeed. Do yourself a favour, and do some research *before* you buy a printer. For the most part it depends on the language that the printer speaks. As a rule, any printer that understands postscript will work without much trouble. Printers that speak PCL (most, but not all HP printers) or ESC2P (Epson) work well. Avoid so-called winprinters like the plague. They offload most processing to the host processor (your CPU) using a Windows-only binary driver. Some of those drivers have been reverse-engineered, but I'd advise you not to go there. Setting them up is always complicated. Check on linxprinting.org to see if the printer you have in mind will be able to work. The lexmark 1185 is not listed, which is not a good sign. The lexmark 1100 (assuming the 1185 is related) is listed as partially working, which is also not encouraging. Roland -- R.F.

Section 2.13 assumes the use of a boot floppy or bootable CD in all cases, unless I'm reading incorrectly, which is possible but doesn't seem likely. The documentation is a bit ambiguous. It states that the install files need to be where sysinstall can find them, but it doesn't state how to get sysinstall to run in the first place. Just below this section it does say: You have a FreeBSD disk, and FreeBSD does not recognize your CD/DVD drive, but MS-DOS/Windows® does. You want to copy the FreeBSD installations files to a DOS partition on the same computer, and then install FreeBSD using those files. This certainly implies that one can install FBSD from a DOS partition if one copies the correct files in the correct manner. That method is explained in section 2.13.4. Luckily for me, I have never had to confront this issue, so I have no idea if you or I am correct. You've got to bootstrap a kernel into RAM *somehow* to do the work.

Because the laptop is older, the amount of RAM may determine which release to run, 4.11 or 5.3.

Re: Setting MAXDSIZ, MAXSSIZ, DFLDSIZ via kernel OIDs?
In the last episode (Feb 24), O. Hartmann said: Due to runtime problems of several F77 code based scientific software I increased possible data segment size and stack by the shown values. options MAXDSIZ=(2048UL*1024*1024) options MAXSSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024) options DFLDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024) These changes implies building a new kernel and I would like to know how I can set these parameters via kern.l OIDs (in loader.conf.local). I'm sure it's documented somewhere but I find it easier to grep for the word TUNABLE in the kernel source :) Found these in subr_param.c: TUNABLE_QUAD_FETCH(kern.maxdsiz, maxdsiz); TUNABLE_QUAD_FETCH(kern.dfldsiz, dfldsiz); TUNABLE_QUAD_FETCH(kern.maxssiz, maxssiz); -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't find anything that looks like it among the packages. All I found was something to insert GNOME menus into window manager, or something like that. There is a simple path to getting up and running. 1 - install X11. There is a single port (/usr/ports/x11/xorg) which will install all the required packages. 2 - config X11. Use xorgconfig and come up with a basic functional config (it will reside in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf). There is a manpage for xorg.conf so once you have the basic one it is probably easier to tweak it in a text editor to iron out the kinks. The xorg manpage should point you to related manpages. 3 - install gnome. Also simple - install /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 and you'll get all the packages. You can install gdm (see /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/) to start X/gnome at boot time. Alternatively, make a .xinitrc file in your home directory containing a call to gnome-session and run startx. good luck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Converting wav to wma
Hello List, I googled and found on the list a conversation regarding converting realaudio into mp3s, but what I'm looking to do is convert wav files to wma since it appears that wma files are less heavy and have somewhat better quality. The background behind me doing this is simple. I'm trying to create an audio archive of audio files which are like an hour long of someone speaking. It is for streaming on the internet (please lets not discuss the bandwidth and all other irrelevant topics) and I've been told that wma helps in achieving my goals. I found this script on the list that does wav to mp3 it appears: --[script]--- #!/bin/sh # extraido de http://bulmalug.net/impresion.phtml?nIdNoticia=1744 # y modificado por mapelo manu_perez_lopez at hotmail.com # necesita mplayer y lame # Convertimos wma a mp3 for f in *.wma do mplayer $f -ao pcm mv audiodump.wav $f.wav #lame $f.wav # modificado por mapelo para hacer variable vibrate y de mayor calidad lame --vbr-new -V 3 -b 128 $f.wav rm $f.wav done --[script]--- Any help will be appreciated. :) -- gabriel, Member of: FreeBSD-Announce FreeBSD-Hardware FreeBSD-Multimedia FreeBSD-questions ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Qlogic ISP 2200, DL-380 and EVA 5000 SAN; how?
Or give us a /proc/scsi/scsi output dump? No such file. (And yes, /proc is mounted). I meant from the linux box. Can you tell us the connection topology other than same SAN? A fiber goes straight from the SAN, a HP StorageWorks HSV 110 box, to a HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8-EL, to which the Qlogic HBA is connected. Have you tried direct connect?
