subversion on FreeBSD 4.10
Hi! I'm trying to install subversion-1.1.3 on FreeBSd 4.10 from ports. By the way, my ports tree is updated regularly. When I install in the subversion port directory, installation just seems to stop or sleep. Here is the relevant line where it sleeps: /usr/local/sbin/apxs -e -S LIBEXECDIR=/usr/local/libexec/apache2 -a -n dav libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so I may have missed something.

I don't know that the 0-byte quota files are the source of your
problem; I only know that they're not doing any good :)
It looks like they were the problem. I took the server down to single-user
mode, deleted the zero-size quota.{user,group} files, and then ran
quotacheck on that filesystem. After booting back up, the system ran
normally without hanging.

portinstall: fetch(1) doesn't fetch
Hi, I don't understand the behaviour of fetch(1). Whenever I try to fetch from an URL, I get anwers like fetch http://www.google.com fetch: http://www.google.com: No address record I have set up my network correctly though. If, in contrast, I use wget, I get wget http://www.google.com --11:20:32-- http://www.google.com/ = `index.html' Resolving www.google.com... done.

Re: Native POSIX threads + Java under FreeBSD 5.3 release i386
Dear Dan, Thanks for your answer! A follow-up: Why would they require an OS-specific threads library, instead of simply requiring Posix threads? I can tell you right now that Solaris doesn't support NPTL, just the same way Linux doesn't support Solaris's thread library :) Interesting. The people who wrote the software told me that they used to have a version that worked well with the Linux 2.4 kernel threads version. Then, they said they had improved their software, and that it's based around the threading system as it is present in the Linux 2.6 kernel. They did indeed mention that we require Posix threads, so I guess they mean to say that we require Posix threads (rather than relying on a Linux 2.6 kernel perse). If you have limited time, I'd say just use either Solaris 10 or Linux. If you have problems on FreeBSD, they won't help you. Yes, I just called the client, and he strongly recommended simply looking for a Debian-9 or SuSe-9 system. I think I'll simply try that... I'm looking somewhat into the support for NPTL under FreeBSD 5.3 release i386, and I have come across the following URL: http://www.unobvious.com/bsd/freebsd-threads.html From this, it sounds like the LinuxThreads (i.e. /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads) should do the trick. That page is 2 years old, and even says right in the middle, before comparing libc_r and linuxthreads: WARNING: The rest of this document does not describe thread support in FreeBSD 5.x . You have been warned. :) I think I didn't express myself the way I meant to (sorry for that). Basically what I meant to write was that from the document I gathered that the /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads port is what should be used. But indeed upon re-reading my own text, it suggests that I had gathered from the document that that would work under versions 5.x as well (which was not what I meant to imply). Anyway, your following answer basically answers what I wanted to know: Can anyone tell me something about the following: 1) Does the linuxthreads library provide 100% NPTL support, as under Linux? Linuxthreads is the Linux 2.4 and below threads package. NPTL is the name for the threads implementation in Linux 2.6 kernels. As far as I know, linuxthreads and NPTL are relatively ABI-compatible. From this, I gather the linuxthreads port will not give me the threading system as used in the Linux 2.6 kernel then... O.k., I think I know enough for now: I'll first try having a go at Red Hat or SuSe then Thanks again, and cheers!

atapci0 controller (was: Sysinstall: No disks found.)
Hi! I want to install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE on Compaq Deskpro 4000 model 5166 (P200 MHz with 48 Mb RAM): - Hard drive Samsung SV0432D 4.3 Gb - CD-ROM drive Veuego 616P, Acer Peripherals but when booted kernel doesn't detect my drives! I decided to try floppies from 4.11-RELASE. The computer boot-up and detect both drives (with some errors - see attached dmesg.411). Comparing, I have found out that atapci0 uses incorrect resources: port 0x1010-0x101f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 15.1 on pci0 when it should use this instead: port 0x1010-0x101f,0x374-0x377,0x170-0x177,0x3f4-0x3f7,0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 0 at device 15.1 on pci0 My question is: how force atapci0 to use correct values or, how convince pci0 to properly detect the controller. I've already try boot with hw.pci.enable_io_modes set to 0. For easy comparison I've attached boot messages for both RELEASE -5.3 (dmesg.53) and RELEASE-4.11 (dmesg.411). Please help me get RELEASE-5.3 running on this particular hardware. TIA, Robert Grzyb.

Unfortunately, it does not play very well with emacs. For these reasons I use Gnome terminal. Gnome font is bigger, thus it takes more space on the screen. How do I identify which font is used by xterm, so I can apply it for gnome terminal? I also would like to know why my ~/.Xdefaults configuration is not applied in Gnome. It worked just fine in KDE and most other environments. I can't answer this question, but want to chime in on this thread just because I had the same question a few weeks ago, but could never figure it out. I poked around my system and Googled until I was blue in the face, but came up with nothing. The reason is that I had recently switched from rxvt to urxvt (for Unicode support) and the default font, or whichever one it ended up grabbing) looked awful, but I liked very much the font that rxvt was using. I even ran a kernel trace on the program in an attempt to figure out what font it was settling on, but was only able to get a partial answer from that, as the font lines were truncated. As I say, this doesn't help, but I post here only in the hope that perhaps another post to the thread will catch someones eye who might know how to figure out what font a particular X terminal is using when it hasn't been explicity set already. Don't know about rxvt or urxvt, but for plain old xterm, the font settings are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. -- David Fleck [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 ran fsck on a running system (check only, no changes), and it turned up some inconsistencies. So I rebooted into single-user mode and ran it again, but then everything checked out fine. I presume this is because fsck is looking at filesystems that are changing right in front of its eyes on a running system, which leads to inconsistencies that really don't mean anything ... right? Yes.

On my 5.3 and my 4.9 systems, there are no kern.max%siz listed at all (% = d or s) to inspect. You would be able to if they were sysctls, but they're just tunables. You can see what tunables are set by running kenv, but that only shows entries that you or the kernel have explicitly set. Personally, I think all the TUNABLE_*_FETCH variables in /sys/kern/subr_parm.c should be sysctls with the CTLFLAG_TUN flag set, so they are visible as both tunables and sysctls.

format slice
Hello, I have a freebsd installation on a disk with two slices. One of them has the current freebsd install, the other has a win2k installation. I want to convert the win2k slice to a freebsd slice (by deleting the old one and add a new one). I followed the handbook but when I try to delete the win2k slice, and want to write the changes to the disk, sysinstall returns a disk error. The steps I took were simple: - run sysinstall en select fdisk - choose delete on the NTFS slice - Write changes Then sysinstall complains that it cannot do that (no specific information on the cause of the error is displayed). Does anyone know what can be wrong and how can I solve this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2004/09/19 02:40:48 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? 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 freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 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 Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. 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. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

Setting up a danish locale
Problem: We have a visiting scientist from Denmark, whose laptop died a horrible death. A colleagued asked if I would loan him a currently unused system in my office. I've set up FreeBSD 5.3 on the system and everything appears to work except for setting up a Danish locale. Disclaimer: I searched the Handbook, used google, and spent a few hours reading up of login.conf, locale support, etc. But, we are stuck without the danish locale. I have setup a ~/,login_conf in the user home directory that contains dhcp-78-77:kargl[201] cat .login_conf me:\ :charset=ISO8859-1:\ :lang=da_DK.ISO8859-1: When we login, we see that the locale is set dhcp-78-77:kargl[202] locale LANG=da_DK.ISO8859-1 LC_CTYPE=da_DK.ISO8859-1 LC_COLLATE=da_DK.ISO8859-1 LC_TIME=da_DK.ISO8859-1 LC_NUMERIC=da_DK.ISO8859-1 LC_MONETARY=da_DK.ISO8859-1 LC_MESSAGES=da_DK.ISO8859-1 LC_ALL= But any attempt to enter a danish character in for examples xemacs fails.

Re: Clock slew vulnerability in FreeBSD?
Bart Silverstrim writes: Wouldn't the skew resolution necessary for this tracking technique become useless with temperature variations, humidity, etc. that can affect most systems over the course of the day/week/year? That's one of my questions, too. A technique that could identify 100 million different computers (as some people have speculated) would need reliable precision to at least nine decimal places. That's a pretty tall order for something like measurement of clock slewing in TCP packets. There are other related problems. So you identify computer A using its unique clock slew. How do you prove that in court? If you move the machine, or if you change anything about it, the RTC is likely to vary a bit, changing the slew to a different value. Just temperature variations in the room can do that. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fast and reliable /tmp partition.
Hello Freebsd Questions, I'm using DVD-R to back up our Perforce SCM server. The size of backup data is 13Gb now and increase ~ 1Gb in two months. The full backups was made every week, incrementary - every day. I have made a custom script to start archiver, split on the fly results to adequate sized files ( 1Gb), evaluate checksum and burn it onto DVD. The script also verify burned DVD by using stored checksums, and burn DVD again if needed. The problem is: i can't compose DVD's on the fly, i need to save them somewhere. I need to have a big, fast and reliable temporary filesystem. It doesn't needed to survive reboots. It must be fast writing. (RAID5 vinum array which i have is slow performs writes) And even if one of the disks in server computer will broke (i have a vinum on them), the backup procedure must still works. Does anybody have expirience with temporary fast filesystems ?

Re: format slice
Hello, I have a freebsd installation on a disk with two slices. One of them has the current freebsd install, the other has a win2k installation. I want to convert the win2k slice to a freebsd slice (by deleting the old one and add a new one). I followed the handbook but when I try to delete the win2k slice, and want to write the changes to the disk, sysinstall returns a disk error. The steps I took were simple: - run sysinstall en select fdisk - choose delete on the NTFS slice - Write changes Then sysinstall complains that it cannot do that (no specific information on the cause of the error is displayed). Does anyone know what can be wrong and how can I solve this? Well, it looks like you started right. But write changes can cover a lot of things - all of which need to be done. After you delete the NTFS slice, you must create a new FreeBSD slice in its place. Then you need to do the disklabel part to make at least one partition in the slice (more are possible if you want to divide it for some reason. Then that (those) slice(s) must be newfs-ed. You also need to establish a mount point and mount the newly newfs-ed filesystem(s). Sysinstall should do all that for you if you do all of its steps before bailing out of sysinstall. It might not do the mount though. But, it should create the mount point and put the mount line in /etc/fstab. Alternatively, you can do it all yourself and skip sysinstall. That is what I normally do. Study the man pages for each of these before starting. They have recently been improved, but can still be very confusing. The steps are: fdisk -- overwrites the NTFS slice and creates a new FreeBSD slice in its place. Set it active if you want to boot from it. disklabel -- writes a FreeBSD label and divides the slice in to partitions. newfs -- creates a filesystem in each partition you run it on. mkdir -- create the new mount point mkdir /newmnt or whatever you want to call it edit /etc/fstab -- to enter your mount information so it will mount at boot time without you doing by hand all the time. fsck -- the new file system, just in case. mount -a -- To mount the file system If you have done everything and it still doesn't work, then more information is needed to make any good guesses. But, check all this first. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can see what tunables are set by running kenv, but that only shows entries that you or the kernel have explicitly set. Personally, I think all the TUNABLE_*_FETCH variables in /sys/kern/subr_parm.c should be sysctls with the CTLFLAG_TUN flag set, so they are visible as both tunables and sysctls.

ssh timeout on 4.x
I have a 4.9 RELEASE system that is running as a gateway / webserver for a small LAN. From the internal LAN I can ssh to it fine. From the internet ssh times out. There are no firewall rules interfering. I haven't tried ssh in debug mode although next time I'm on-site I intend to enable it. The webserver works fine, another oddity is that I can't telnet to port 80 on the machine from the internet. Here's the errors I get trying ssh and telnet respectively: port 22: Operation timed out telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: connect to address 66.103.77.xx: Operation timed out Anyone have any suggestions of things I can try next time I'm on site? -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

which hardware for db/app
Hello- I have a chance of migrating hardware for our web/app/db configuration. Currently, I am running web and php on two loadbalanced Sun Ultra2(2x300Mhz, 512MB RAM) running FreeBSD 5.3 with a SUN Ultra60 with the same procs and RAM as the web,(2x300Mhz, 512MB RAM). I am having issues with the db running slowly at this time and do not really know where to start to determine the cause or fix since I do not know much about mysql. I did have some issues with the db and ran isamchk to fix errors on a few of the tables but since then it ha been running slow. Can someone possibly show me to a resource that may be abe to help me determine the issues that I am having as well as some possible tweeks for mysql 3.23.58 server, which is what is running. On the web/php side, we have apache 1.3.31 and php4-4.3.8_2. I also have hardware that I am gooing to posibly migrate these servers to: I have a dual AMD 2800+(2200Mhz) and an AMD 2200+(1500Mhz). I am wondering what I should use for what here. I am not sure if O should use the dual amd for the apache/php or the mysql. If anyone has any ideas on what would be the optimal setup with the given hardware then please let me hear it. I would appreciate the input. thanks, Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: format slice from commandline

My problem is i'm having a heck of a time with sysinstall, it doesn't want to put an a partition on the second drive, so i thought about doing it manually, fdisk, disklabel, newfs, etc. About the only thing i've got working is a single slice on drive2 which is ad2 btw, Probably it should be ad2s1. That may make bsdlabel be unhappy. active i believe. The two drives are identical in size 15 gb drives, the master drive with a single fbsd slice and six partitions in it including c. I have tried to duplicate this information with disklabel piping to a file then loading that file on to drive2, which gives me an error about partition c lengths being wrong. Partition c length should be the size of the slice. Look at what the block counts are. jerry I was wondering you mentioned onlist you do this kind of stuff, if you could give me a procedure or a web page, the man pages are quite confusing.

Or maybe you mean: All the Windows apps you can't wait to have crash and burn!! Can you run this flavor of Linux and dual-boot FBSD? About the *only* thing I want to use Win for is the billions and billions of CD apps. Like French, and make your own greeting cards and maybe a few classic card/board games. gary PS: When did DEC ever have a PeeCee? I remember their 11/* machines fondly; the next thing I knew they got bought out by a PC firm. It's a Digital 5000 with a PII. As for Windows apps, I understand that the simpler they are the better they run; I've tried Quicken and Windows Media Player with no problems; MS Office won't load on this box, although it ran on the Dell. I understand Crossover Office is simply a tweaked version of Wine. XandrOS has a list of Windows stuff they've tested. Their X desktop is a slimmed-down version of KDE. I haven't dual-booted this particular Linux, but I don't know why you couldn't. You don't need a Windows OS to use Crossover Office; it will create its own fake C: drive when installed. It comes with Lilo and maybe Grub, I think, but you can always use the FreeBSD boot manager as well. For what it's worth, Digital 5000s are available, or were last year, on eBay for around $30; without hard drives. Shipping was about double that.

It's interesting to see which organizations produce winning products and which wind up as food for larger fish. Getting back to which (if any) Linux is worth bothering with, this is www.ubuntulinux.org has for their lead paragraph. QUOTE Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning humanity to others. Ubuntu also means I am what I am because of who we all are. The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. /QUOTE This sounds a lot like FreeBSD; it's an ethic I can get behind.

My dad worked at DEC from 76 through around 92 and I worked there 88-93 as well as two summers in 84 and 85. Until Ken Olsen left and things started to fall apart, I was ready to work there my whole life.

Re: bash restricted shell

This works okay in that normal things I tried do not break out. This is probably good enough for the users I would give this shell to. My question is basically: what is the right way to do this? Create a /usr/local/bin/rbash script containing the following lines: #!/usr/local/bin/bash exec /usr/local/bin/bash --login --restricted $@ The initial #! line is necessary, in my opinion, because having it there means you don't need to depend on the fact that shell scripts do accept options on the #! line. Set the permissions and owner of the new script and add it to /etc/shells: % chmod 0555 /usr/local/bin/rbash % chown root:wheel /usr/local/bin/rbash % echo '/usr/local/bin/rbash' /etc/shells Than you should be able to use '/usr/local/bin/rbash' as the login shell of a user and have the user restricted in the HOME directory. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
